-Husband! -Huh?

Don’t mention dowry too soon like last time.

We will talk about it after a decision.

When did I mention it? They started the topic last time.

Why blame me?

-Hey! -Hmm?

Instead of sitting like a prince can’t you come in and take it?

-Hey! -Hmm?

Check if Suri has come.

-The auspicious time is nearing. -Hmm.

Hey, Suri! Where are you, man?

Hey, didn’t I ask you to make it fast and not be late?

Anyway, come.

Chinnababu is elected againd as MLA.

Veerbhadram spent a lot of money. But he couldn't win.

Mom!

-Hey, has Suri come? -I am not able to find my bike.

-Hey, how long to wear your sari? -Dad…

Make it fast.

Dad! I can’t find my bike. Did you give it to someone?

What?

I wanted to go out this morning but my scooter had a flat tyre.

I looked for your bike but didn’t find it.

I thought you gave it to some friend. Where did you park it last night?

Where else would I park it, dad? I park it here every day!

-Great! -What happened?

-He can’t find his bike. -How can it be?

Don’t you check whether the gate is locked or not?

-Why do you blame me? -You are the one who stays at home!

-What? Not able to find your bike? -Hmm.

You should be careful! You should’ve locked it properly.

Someone knocked off a bike in Potthur the other day. Are you aware?

You youngsters seem to have no responsibility at all!

I am on the way. Our blue vehicle is coming.

This is the one. Stop, stop.

This is the house. Stop, stop.

-Mr Borada Venkatrao. I’ve already told you. -Greetings. -Greetings.

-Mr Kota Harishchandra Prasad.

-Namaste, sister. -Namaste.

Please, come. Come.

Hey!

Doesn’t that bike look like ours?

Oh, damn! He saw me.

-Is this your son? -Yeah…

I told you they have two sons.

He is the second son.

The elder one is the groom.

-Namaste. -I wonder how many gates he has jumped!

This bike is yours.

Oh! Great time. We came to see the bride and we found the bike.

-Let’s not delay. Let’s proceed. Come. -Wait, wait.

If I take them along, I will lose my reputation.

-Why? -Do you know what he did?

You asked me to come and why are you silent?

Why do you talk to Pushpa all the time?

Do you know how angry it makes me?

-Oh! My dad is here. Go away. -Who is there?

-Oh, my! He saw me. -Hey! Who is the scoundrel?

-Hey! I am going to kill you. Stop, idiot! -Dad! Mom, mom!

-You are dead today. -Mom, mom!

Stop! Stop!

-Oh, my! He is carrying a stick! -Hey, stop!

I am going to break your legs.

Hey!

You know she is meant to marry your brother.

I have no idea, dad.

Not my elder daughter. The younger one.

So, the younger boy and girl are in love.

Let’s conduct both the weddings together.

-Only, you have to pay me 2100... -Hey, quiet.

Is this how you bring up boys?

They jump into girls’ houses instead of staying home at night.

Hey! What is all this?

She asked me to come home at two.

Anyone would wet their pants to look at my house.

But this idiot jumped over my gate… -I hope he didn't hit you?

-and ruined my reputation. -He said, he’ll kill you, not me!

-Stand still for a while. -Bloody!

I won’t. I won’t give my daughter into such a family.

Quiet. What nonsense are you talking?

You are ruining your own reputation by shouting about it in public.

Don’t you worry about my reputation!

Bother about your own reputation and your sons'.

So, Vasu spoiled the alliance.

Hmm.

Do you have leg pain?

-I have cramps down the legs. -May be the problem is back.

-Have your coffee, Bala. It’s hot. Careful. -What about your arm?

-Do you want one more dosa? -No?

Hmm. Let me ask.

Husband! You prescribed my brother some tablets for leg pain.

Dad is asking if he can use them too.

No. I will prescribe different ones.

Hmm. No, dad.

He will prescribe different tablets for you. Don’t use whatever you find.

My brother-in-law is recently married and he wanted Viagra. So I prescribed it.

My father-in-law wants to use it.

Already my mother-in-law has backache.

If something happens, it will be disastrous.

Take these tablets twice a day for four days.

Eat only curd in the afternoon and evening.

So I can eat green-gram dosa for breakfast?

You should eat nothing but idli these four days…

-that too only with sugar. Go. -Hmm.

So, I can eat green-gram dosa after four days?

What’s wrong with you? Do they make such tasty dosas at home?

Get them to me after four days and I will decide if you can eat them. Go!

-With hard chutney- -Get lost!

Next!

Careful.

-Namaste, sir. -For whom?

-For my wife, sir. -Sit down.

What happened?

She has fever with chills from last night. Severe cold too.

-Do you have cough? -No, sir.

Prescribe two coldact and two paracetemol tablets.

Hmm. Why did you come to me then?

The shed next door is free. Open your own clinic there.

Set up a medical shop the other side and make your wife sit.

Don’t I know?

Paracetemol!

Didn’t uncle insist on seeing another match?

Why wouldn’t he? He has already found another alliance.

-I told him I will meet the girl privately without the family. -Best.

I convinced him all of us can go to her house in case I really like her.

Where are you meeting then?

Is she the one?

As if my family would have such good taste!

Excuse me! One chocolate brownie.

It must be her.

Hello, madam.

Let me. Sorry, madam.

The bridge near two-town was closed.

I had to come roundabout and am late.

You are…?

My name is Balamurali Krishna.

-Balamurali Krishna! -Huh?

Bhagyalakshmi.

Excuse me!

Oh! Sorry.

Since you look average, I thought it must be you.

Average?

How blunt!

-Bhagyalakshmi. -Hello, madam.

Please, sit.

Actually, you were the one I saw first.

Since you are so beautiful,

I thought it may not be you and went there.

Tell me.

Uh…

Brother!

Brother!

Menu?

-It’s right over here, sir. -Oh, sorry. It’s here?

Tell me. What shall we order?

I was asking about you.

Not the order.

Sorry.

Brother, you can go.

He is anyway here. Order something.

Cool drink?

Two Thums Up.

I want a Mazza.

-Fine. Get two Mazas. -Okay.

-Tell me. -I mean…

I could recognize you from your photograph.

-First time you… -Just a minute, madam.

Brother!

Get me Limca.

Okay, brother.

Maza is mango juice, right?

Somehow, I never liked it.

Uh-hmm.

Sorry. You were saying?

I mean… is this the first time for you?

I can see you are very tensed…

No, not at all.

I saw four or five matchers earlier.

They were all average…

and so I just concluded everyone will look the same but here you are so beautiful.

That’s making me tense.

I mean you look more beautiful than in the picture.

Thanks.

I mean…not for saying I am beautiful.

This is my first match making.

So, for keeping it less formal and keeping it simple.

I heard you work at the power station…?

Yes. I am a junior engineer.

It’s a government job.

I heard you are a school teacher…

Yes! I did my engineering from KITE.

I even got a job in Bangalore.

But my family objected because it was too far.

I didn’t want to be idle.

So I am working as a teacher.

Hmm!

I want to work even after my wedding.

Are you okay with it?

I have no problem.

Honestly speaking, consider you got yourself a wonderful mother-in-law.

My mother is very supportive of such things.

Okay.

See? It’s true.

Hello!

Hello!

Dad!

Hey, did you meet the girl?

I have met her, dad.

I just spoke to the priest.

Why does he say the girl’s father is too particular and he eats up brains!

Okay, okay.

Dad, I will call you back. I am talking to her.

You shouldn’t speak too long before the wedding.

It’s new moon from the afternoon.

[Whispering] Tell him about it.

Hey, Bala! Tell her she can’t wear all those dresses once she is married.

Mom!

Also tell her she needn’t work after marriage.

We can see what is happening with our neighbors.

Mom, mom! I will call you back.

I am sorry.

-Speaker problem. -Hmm.

Do you like me?

It’s okay even if you don’t.

I just wish you do.

What shall I tell my family?

Umm!

I’ll speak to my family and call you back tomorrow.

Thanks.

Brother, bill.

It’s okay. Keep it.

Sir, it’s your bill.

Oh, bill?

Sir, greetings!

Oh, careful, sir.

Why are you so surprised? It’s your ring stone.

I liked it and so I set it.

Ah, what is it? Power outage in the warehouse?

What do you expect when it is disconnected?

Good morning, Mr Daniel.

Hello, Bala! Bala! Give me your phone.

Please give me if I get a call.

Hey, come on! Why wouldn’t I give you what is yours?

Hello! Hey, it’s me.

My phone is not working.

Has he got you the money?

Okay. I will call you back.

Bala! You got some message.

I liked you the first time I met you.

I have decided to marry only you.

Says Charan to Sriya.

Watch ‘Atha Kodallu’ at 7:30 on your Mee TV tonight.

I don’t know about the other serials, Mr Daniel,

but ‘Atha Kodallu’ is really good.

Only yesterday, Sriya met Charan in the coffee shop.

Oh! They should have met in the graveyard.

It would have been unique.

Today Sriya is going to tell Charan if she likes him.

It means not less than six months.

Huh?

[ COMEDY SCENE PLAYING ON TV ]

What the heck!

This guy became a hero and we miss his comedy.

-Dad! -Huh?

What news?

News?

What news Nothing.

Nothing?

The usual. What would there be?

Hmm!

-Hey, I almost forgot. -What is it, dad?

You know Bhaskar Rao, right?

He bought a buffalo recently.

It had a calf.

How beautiful it is!

Calf?

What?

-Bhaskar Rao had a calf? -Hmm.

Why didn’t he send us the biestings?

He wanted to!

But his daughter’s recently married and so I asked him to give it to his son-in-law

But when are we short of biestings?

We have grandpa Subbarao just behind our house.

We can get it whenever we want.

-Give me also some tea. -Hmm.

I forgot to tell you.

-The girl’s family called up. -Huh!

I said no.

Said no to what?

The alliance! I said no.

Why, dad?

The girl wants some time to think about it.

I said this won’t work out as we are for face-to-face talk and rejected them.

You could have asked me once, dad.

You would anyway ask me to decide and so I said no.

There is a proposal from Chebrolu.

We will see next week.

Hey! Won’t you give me tea? Is it only for your son?

These two will never get me married.

I must do something.

Why didn’t you do your home-work?

I told you I will punish you if you don’t.

Yes, Miss. Please.

When I went home, I had fever, Miss.

Is that why you were playing cricket?

You think I didn’t see you?

-Show it. Show me your hand. -Miss…Miss…Miss

Stop saying Miss. Show me your hand. Now!

Hmm. Maintain that fear.

Do it tomorrow. Sit down.

Show me!

-Madam, Principal madam is calling you. -I will come.

Madam is inside.

Madam, you wanted to see me?

Where did you disappear in the afternoon yesterday?

Madam!

Last afternoon… I had a severe headache.

My head was splitting, madam.

So…

So, you went to watch the Noon Show in Satyam theater?

Are you not ashamed to bunk the class and go to movies?

You are not a student. You are a teacher.

This is your sixth time.

How can you be so undisciplined?

Madam!

We are done with the fitting.

If you check and confirm, we will leave.

We have a lot of other work.

The enthusiasm you show while taking money disappears in the job.

Yes, madam. You are absolutely right.

Where are you going? Stay right here.

-I’ll come back and speak to you. -Okay, madam.

Show me how you have done.

We did what you told us.

Why would we do anything different?

Tell me. What do you want?

One kg lentils and one kg jaggery.

One kg lentils and one kg jaggery.

One minute… hello.

(clearing throat)

Listen to me carefully.

My husband is going on a camp tonight.

Come home by nine tonight.

Bye.

Hello, hello!

What the heck! Such a great offer all of a sudden!

Let me call her.

Are you going to give me the provisions or not?

Wait. Don’t pester me.

-Buy from the next shop! -What sort of shop is this?

I got a great offer. How come she spoke to me like that?

Uh, tell me Bhagyalakshmi.

You were an old student of this school, right?

Madam, actually-

Hello!

Normally I close the shop at ten.

It’s okay.

I’ll close it early for you and come home.

Give me your address.

-You want to close the shop and come? -Hmm.

Where to?

You said your husband is going on a camp and asked me to come home?

If my husband goes on camp, you want to come?

-Who the hell are you? -Huh?

-Useless fellow! -Oh my!

I will beat you to pulp.

Have you any sense?

If I come there, you will see stars.

Hang up! Idiot!

What is this?

She dampened my spirits!

Miss Bhagyalashmi!

Hmm?

Hello, madam.

It’s you!

Actually… I want to talk to you.

I have a class now.

Sorry. I can’t.

Um…evening is fine.

-Fine then. I will come back after school. -Okay.

Miss Bhagyaakshmi!

Nice prank.

I couldn’t help laughing.

What did I do?

That phone call…

I saw it all.

You cornered her neatly.

Are you… going to tell her?

No way. Why would I?

Okay.

-By the way, why did you want to meet me? -I mean… about our alliance.

-You have already rejected it. -It wasn’t me.

My father was misled and he said no.

You mean you are for it?

No, no. Not at all.

Then?

I mean…I am for it.

I was wondering if you are okay.

I already told you.

-I need some time. -It’s not that.

Let me tell you what’s on my mind.

First point is-

I liked you as soon as I saw you.

And I liked you so much that I don’t want to see anyone else.

Hmm.

Point Number two-

Please don’t look at me like that.

I feel you are angry.

This is not point number two.

I have just added it.

Point Number Three-

Take all the time you want.

No problem at all.

Hey, get down.

Get down!

I will wait as long as it takes.

I will speak to my family as well.

Point Number four-

You don’t have to worry you might have to stop working after marriage.

Ignore my mother.

Point number five…

One minute.

This is an important point. But I forgot.

I got it written by my cousin who is an RMP doctor.

Never take a doctor’s for writing.

-Ask me why. -Hmm. Why?

No one will understand it except the druggist.

Tell me your opinion now.

Like or don’t like?

Umm.

Since you already rejected, they are looking for other suitors.

Give me some time.

That…

I covered that in the third point.

Give me time to take time.

Okay. Thanks.

-Bye. -Bye.

He simply made an issue but there was no problem at all.

-I fixed the fuse and came back. -Govind!

-Govind! Come here. -Ah. Coming.

-Please, check the meter. -Make three copies of this.

Give one to our EO sir and two to Chandram from the Municipal Office.

-Okay. -Go.

-Sir, I will be right back. -Uh, sir.

So…

this is your office, is it? -Hmm.

-Please, sit. -Hmm.

Tell me.

I thought about what you said yesterday.

I wanted to talk to you about it.

Sorry.

I switched off the fan to stop the papers from flying.

-Oh! -One second.

It happens sometimes.

-It’s a small problem. -Mm hmm...

Govindam!

You sent him for some copies yourself.

(sighing)

Just one minute, madam.

Uff! It’s done, madam.

Average looks are also fine, priest.

This girl is below average.

It isn’t for this that I waited so long.

-Sir, listen to me. -Huh? -The girl side also didn't like you much.

They say you look more like an uncle-

-than a husband. -Hello!

Hello! Hello?

He gets all stupid alliances and then sarcasm on top of it.

Who is this girl? Beautiful!

Hey, Bala! What are you doing?

-Sir! -Hey, hey!

Just because I am your E.O and your senior, you don’t have to stand each time.

-Sit down. -That’s why I never stand up.

It’s different that I get double your salary.

-Sir… -The car I bought recently?

I just gave it for service.

But who is this girl?

Some complaint?

How can I do everything, Bala?

You guys must work too!

Okay, okay. Do it.

Err… my cabin is right here.

-It has an ac too. -Sir, sir, sir!

-Whatever complaint you have- -I am going to marry her, sir.

Huh?

His face is burning.

-Mrs Srilakshmi, you are saying something? -Nothing, sir.

I was saying the bulb is burned out.

So? Do you want me to change it?

Tell Govindu.

-Sir… she wanted to speak to me- -Oh.

Go ahead. Feel free.

Girls these days are very poor at selection.

Sorry. Please don’t think otherwise.

I said I am going to marry you without your consent.

It’s okay.

Our EO is a little jealous of me.

I said that to tease him.

Is he still looking at us?

He is pretending to be on phone but stealing glances at us. Watch.

You took me to the night show against my will.

I had a tough time managing at home.

Oh, my!

He is already taking her to the night shows!

Wait!

Me?

Thanks.

Here.

But how were you so spontaneous?

My EO won’t eat for a few days.

Are you a virgin?

(choking)

I mean… it’s…

Oh, so you are not.

No, no.

You mean… you are not a virgin.

Nothing of that sort.

I am still a virgin.

Lack of interest or lack of opportunity?

I mean… I never thought on those lines.

Basically, I guess it’s lack of interest.

-Don’t tell me you have some problem! -Problem…?

-What problem would I have? -Then?

Somehow, love never worked out for me.

Oh! Okay.

Greetings!

-What about… you? -Huh?

What about you…

We have just met.

It’s not proper to discuss these things right now.

Correct. Correct.

Hmm. I watched a movie last night.

The lead characters are just like us.

They meet in a coffee shop.

After that they meet without the knowledge of their families,

get to know each other and then inform at home.

Huh…

Nice, isn’t it?

What is the name of the movie?

How can he be so naive?

I don’t remember.

Oh! Okay.

-Why can’t we do that? -(inaudible)

-So... -Please take it.

you want us to inform at home after some time. Right?

Hmm. Right.

-Did you see that, Mr Daniel? -Hmm.

The girl wants to date for a few days.

He is all focused on informing at home.

-Does he deserve the girl? -Greetings, sir.

-Okay. I will make a move. -Okay.

Uh… money for tea…?

-I will take care. Carry on. -Okay, bye.

Now I know why you are still single.

-Don’t boys pay for tea? -It’s not that.

A girl says she is leaving and you don’t even offer to drop her!

Crap! How can he be so dumb?

Let’s go, sir.

Before Balu gets married, EO might die of envy.

Mr Daniel, you are not coming…

Let me pay for the tea.

You can take me home.

But if my people see, there will be questions.

-Okay. Bye. -Bye!

Give me your hand.

When I don’t answer your phone, it means someone is with me.

If I do answer, don’t say hello until I do.

Let's take a picture.

Hey!

-Hey, what is this? -Photo!

What is happening?

I don't know.

Not good. Worst gesture.

-Are you free? -Yes.

Can you come home? Let's meet.

Huh?

If it's a problem, don't. Bye.

I am coming.

Hello, I am in front of your house.

My dad’s instruments shop is right outside. It’s open.

Yes. I found it.

Come in through it.

Okay!

Why did you…suddenly… call me at this hour?

Why?

Do you have a problem with the time?

No, no. I didn’t mean that.

You are a boy after all.

You have no problem.

Girls have all the problems.

Huh! What happened?

You came without telling your parents, didn’t you?

Yes.

When you go back, what if they ask you where you were?

I will tell them I went to my friend’s.

Of course, you will. They will say nothing to you.

When it comes to girls?

Even before we step out…

Why? Which friend?

Where does she live? Is it a girl or a boy?

Give us the phone number.

Damn!

Never be born as a girl.

What happened now?

They are not sending me to Vijayawada for my friend’s wedding.

They don’t want me to step out.

Earlier also,

when I got a job at Bangalore, they said why go so far.

This has been the case since my childhood.

If I question it,

they scold me saying girls shouldn’t back answer.

They never let me to do what I want.

No one cares for me.

Including you.

It’s not that, Bhagya…

You simply stare but…

you don’t even hold me and console me!

Once we are married,

are you going to impose restrictions?

You mean you won’t care?

Wherever you go, I will come along.

I must take good care of you, don’t I?

You can hold me tight.

Tell me nothing will go wrong.

Nothing will go wrong.

Say… calm down.

Calm down.

Should I tell you the next line too?

Say… ‘I am here for you.’

I am there for you, Bhagyam.

Bhagi will do.

You have me, Bhagi.

I will take care. Okay?

There is no one.

Hmm?

You asked me about my boy friend.

There is no one.

It's nothing. My phone. Just the phone. That's all.

-What is it? -Will it take time?

Why?

If it takes time, I want to go to Chandrika’s.

Not done with what happened last time?

Stay right there. I am coming.

I need to leave. Shall I?

Hey, what is that laugh for? Eat!

Why is she talking laughing so loud?

Marry her off and she will be fine.

Miss, miss! Aunty and others are here.

-They want you to come fast. -Coming.

Tell me. Is this good or this one?

You wear this one. I will wear the other.

And then my mother will kill me.

Get going. I will follow you.

-Mr Venkatrao! -Hey, hey!

They were considering Mr Tadepalli Suryarao’s alliance because you rejected.

I stopped them.

They wanted some time.

Otherwise, we would have fixed the wedding long back.

Oh, my! Why did you fill the walls with Veerabhadram?

Are you his fans?

Not just fans. He is much bigger than that…

Bah! He hoarded a lot of money last time.

That’s why we elected Chinnababu.

Veerabhadram won’t win in near future.

Chinnababu is no less.

Recently,

he gave all the sand ramps to his own people.

Though Veerabhadram was corrupt,

he helped whoever approached him. Huh!

Where and when?

If that’s the case, why didn’t the public vote for him?

All this is-

See, have you seen Chinnababu allot the ramps to his people?

We don’t have to see.

Anyone in the village would vouch for it.

Have you seen?

If you did, then tell me.

Wedding is getting too political.

Let us fix the auspicious time first.

We can decide later whether to invite Chinnababu or Veerbhadram.

-What do you say? -Hello,

what did you say the girl studied?

She completed her Engineering.

She also got a job in Bangalore.

But her father didn’t send her because it’s too far.

What’s so great about jobs?

Why go there instead of happily staying here with us?

We asked her not to work in the school as well.

But she is doing it for pastime.

Now that her wedding is fixed, ask her to stop working. Huh?

Your daughter-in-law will be here. You can tell her yourself.

Manikantha Suppliers also belongs to our people.

Miss said she won’t come.

That guy?

But if his mike works,his bulb doesn’t. If the bulb does,the mike doesn’t.

-Where is your miss? -She is upstairs.

Ask her to stop acting crazy and come down.

With such people round, we always stay number one.

Aunty asked you to stop acting crazy and come down.

Miss doesn’t want the wedding. Ask them to leave. Go.

Hey, what's wrong? Why are you so sullen?

Miss doesn’t want this wedding.

Ask them to leave.

-Where is she? -She is upstairs.

-What's the problem all of a sudden? -Miss doesn’t want this wedding.

Leave!

What’s the problem?

Is this about what my mom said about your job?

My mom speaks like that. I told you I will take care of it.

She only appears like that.

If she likes you, she will pamper you lots.

Who knows? Once we are married, you both may become a team and ignore me.

Bhagi, look here.

Look here, Bhagi.

You have me.

Don’t you trust me?

-Not Bhagyalakshmi. -Hm?

They should have named you sulking queen.

Are you going to sulk for this now?

-He is holding Miss. -Hey, hye!

He is holding Miss!

The girl side has selected this.

Nice. Very nice.

We can get it at this price.

Please have it.

Take a look. This is nice.

Isn’t it nice?

This will cost you thirty.

Don’t bother about the price.

We should look better than them. That’s all.

Fine, then. Take this.

-Look, isn’t this nice? -Very nice.

-Fix it for 17. -Huh?

Another half rupee. Fix it at 17.5

So, don’t take the trouble.

Hey, it’s not that.

Tell me how to make it.

-Why now? -Why not?

Don’t you make fish twice a week for your husband?

We will also have some preferences.

-Take it, bro. -I promised your sister, bro.

-That’s why I stop with half. -Hey, what about you?

He will know once he is married.

He was almost an alcoholic once.

Yes! He would drink raw because mixing water takes time.

-Hey! Come on. Drink! -Why do you answer phone now?

-Hello? -Sir, I am Govind.

Hey, Govindam! Why are you still at the office?

Mr Daniel and others are already here. I asked you to come, right?

Everyone is there.

But EO is still stuck here.

-Here. Some lady is here for you. -No, no.

Let’s not entertain electricity meters now. Ask them to come on Monday.

Not that, sir.

-Is this Mr Balamuralikrishna? -Yes…

I am Sailaja.

Sailaja?

We met two years ago.

I mean…Dubai… Visakha Nursing Home…?

Tell me.

What happened?

I need to talk to you.

Shall I come there?

No, no. I will come over.

Please, wait.

As if you don’t know about my husband!

Why do you ask me again?

I wanted to know if he has changed.

-Mom! Mom! -Ah?

Where is my bike?

-I sent Vasu to get turmeric sticks. -Bah!

Where are you going?

I have a small job in the office. I will be right back.

Hey! Bride groom shouldn’t step out before the wedding.

Silly fellow! Duty is everything to him.

-Grandpa! -Huh!

-I am borrowing your bicycle. -Okay, dear!

Don’t pull such a long face.

Did I ask you for your kidney or eyes?

After all I asked you for your sperm.

How can you call it ‘after all’?

It means a baby and the emotion I must enjoy with my wife ends artificially, right?

Oho! Don’t treat it like an offence!

There is no direct contact.

This is also like giving blood or urine sample.

The doctor will take care of the rest of the process.

I don’t think you have understood.

-Shall I explain from the beginning? -I get it.

There is a lady in Dubai.

She has no time to get married.

She has no patience to have kids.

So, she wants to have kids through surrogacy.

There is a girl ready to carry the baby.

You want me to donate my sperm for this.

You have told me this ten times already.

Please don't say that.

She has some problem with having kids.

She wants to be a mother in some way.

Something good is happening because of you.

It sounds good when you say it. But-

I won’t do this. Not for my life.

Hey, please don’t say that.

Relying on you, I have even taken advance.

I have already told you.

I stood surety for someone.

He filed insolvency petition. I am caught.

Hey, you know about my dad.

You know about my wife.

She will hack me to pieces.

Why did you sign surety when you are so afraid?

I didn’t consciously do it.

He had two pegs got sentimental.

I had four and signed the bond.

Before I became sober, the damage was already done.

Let me get sentimental now. You go and give it instead of me.

Not everyone can do that.

There are lots of parameters including family history, height and complexion.

Let us find someone else then.

Hey!

We are supporting illegal surrogacy. We can’t take strangers into confidence.

If the police hear about it, they will put both behind the bars.

Why do you call this illegal?

Why do you bother? Trust me. I will take care.

-Or shall we… -There is no other option.

You are going with me tomorrow. That’s all.

No way.

I won’t come. I won’t. I won’t.

-Hey, I beg you. Please! -Hey!

Hey, why can’t you have kids, sir?

We helped a 70 year old lady become a mother.

Sir, new procedures are in place now, sir.

Hi, sir.

Sir! Finding surrogate mothers is easier than finding a house on rent in the city.

We don’t have to talk to anyone, sir. Money does all the talking.

Okay?

-Namaste. -Namaste, sir.

This is the guy we were talking about.

I hope he has all the qualities we want.

Sir! I have made all possible enquiries.

From family background to naked body measurements, everything is on dot.

So is this girl.

She is ready to carry the baby.

As a formality, if you can sign the document-

Here.

There is nothing to worry.

Just a safety measure to avoid any trouble in the future.

Sir, what about the remaining amount…

I will take care of that. I will arrange it.

Do one thing. Wait outside.

-I will call you again. -Okay, sir.

Here.

Sign.

Why are you so afraid for a signature?

The girl has agreed for a nine-month pregnancy.

You are so apprehensive for a two minute job! Huh?

Come, sign.

It’s just a signature. Do it.

Books or videos?

Who is reading books these days? Videos of course.

He must be having them.

But my cousin is not the present generation type, sir.

-Books may be better. -Huh?

Dear! You can go in.

Carry the container.

Careful. Take your time.

-Use the box…don’t forget the box. -You found a man with great qualities!

A pure pearl, sir!

We have landed in a huge problem.

You must somehow…

What problem?

Tell me clearly what happened.

Did someone come to know and is there a police case or something…

No, no. Nothing of that sort.

The lady from Dubai was to pick up the baby after nine months, right?

She never came.

They dragged six months saying she would come the next month.

I had some doubt and pressurized them to tell me.

They said she died in an accident. They say-

‘Don’t panic. We are in touch with her family.

We’ll send the baby away.

Don’t worry.’ They say.

But they kept the baby still with me.

My husband works in Kuwait.

He doesn’t know this issue at all.

Which issue? The Dubai lady’s death?

No, no.

-That I consented to surrogacy. -Huh!

My husband says he will come and take me to Kuwait.

My VISA is also processed.

I didn’t know what to do with the baby…

Take your son. He cried himself to sleep.

Careful.

This baby…?

It’s the same baby boy.

Please, sir. Somehow you must…

Just a minute…

Govindu!

-There is no one in the office, right? -Right now, no one.

EO said he will come.

Okay. Tell me if he comes. Come…let’s sit in the other room.

Sit down.

Tell me now.

Why have you come to me?

To hand over this baby to you.

To me? How can you give me?

Look. Whether you agree or not, we both are his parents.

So? How can you give him to me?

This is not correct.

I was in confusion all these days not knowing what to do.

But I have to go back to my husband now.

Please, try to understand. I can’t take the baby with me.

If my husband comes to know, it will be a huge problem.

It’s a problem for me too. It’s my wedding tonight.

Imagine when this comes out!

It’s wrong!

You sort it out with the doctor. I am in no way connected.

Why don’t you do that? I can’t deal with it anymore.

I will leave the baby here.

-I have lots of things to take care of. -Please, wait. Please, wait.

Let me call my cousin. Please wait.

-Why try it on me? -It should match, right?

You know nothing.

Hmm, okay!

Hey, Bala!

I was about to call you.

-In the same design and same colour... -My wife is on a shopping spree for your wedding.

You must foot the bill though.

Hey, just meet me and I will give you a strong one.

What happened?

Hey, I kept refusing that day.

That lady from Dubai died.

-That… -Is dead?

-Who died? -His buffalo died.

Now this lady wants to give the baby to me because no one is responding.

How can she do that?

Don’t agree. Tell her you will approach the police.

Hey! Have you lost your senses?

You said this is illegal and we can face jail time if anyone comes to know.

Hey, is this colour better or this one?

Any colour goes with your skin tone.

Really? Then, I will take both.

I simply said that.

That will scare them off.

But be stern.

I will talk to the hospital in the mean time. Okay, bye!

-Husband! -Huh?

-Shall I select something for you? -Buy me two pairs of underwear.

Why two? One will do.

-One underwear. -Which brand?

Not at all possible.

I will approach the court.

-I will file a police case. -Good! Do that.

We will get some conclusion. I am not able to bear this tension.

Till then keep your son with you.

It’s not that.

I am getting married this evening. How can I handle this now?

Have you any pity?

That’s why I waited with patience all these days.

But please try to understand.

You are only getting married.

I am already married.

Sir, EO sir is here.

He wants you to open the door.

I don’t care about that.

I am handing him over to you. Take care of him.

Please, wait.

Do one thing. Come home with me.

I’ll call my friend there. Let’s sit and discuss it.

-It’s not like that. -Please, come.

-Please, try to understand. -Don’t say anything. Come. Please.

Come. Take this.

Come.

Bulli Venkatrao is making a big issue.

-Has he no daughters? -He had one. She eloped with someone.

-Come. -He has been so depressed ever since.

Uh… she is my friend’s wife, sir.

She came in the hot sun.

I made her sit in your room since it has AC.

Please come for the wedding in the evening, sir. Mr Daniel and others are already there.

Let’s go. -Hmm.

Okay, sir.

There is something fishy in the ac room.

You set me thinking, sir.

Oh! What is it that you liked so much in him?

He is a very nice person.

A very, very nice person.

Bala is not just his name.

He is also very child-like.

His past, present, future… it is all me.

I am the first girl in his life.

Over all, my guy is an unblemished pearl in character.

Hey, careful, careful! You will fall!

Hey! Why are you standing around like a king?

-Serve everyone tea. -Okay, mom.

Hey, where were you? -Mom, that…

Your aunt from Bhimavaram is here. She has been asking about you.

-How are you? -Hey, who is this girl?

-Bangalore Sekhar I always talk about?

-His wife. -Oh!

When did Sekhar marry?

Your son?

He is so cute, isn’t he?

There he is! You were all eyes for your son-in-law.

I hope you won’t take him away.

Who is this girl?

-Actually- -His friend, Sekhar?

-From Vijayawada? -Yes.

His wife and son.

Oh! Ah!

-Aw, aw! -Oh, heavens!

Even Bala used to outstretch his arms just like this.

Why talk about my childhood, dad?

Aha! Brother-in-law!

I don’t know what you would do.

By next year your daughter and son-in-law should place a boy like this in my hands.

Dad, actually… she has just come.

First talk to your father-in-law. Or he might sulk and go away.

I’ll talk to him.

-Let’s go, brother-in-law. Lots of work. -Please, sit. I will be right back.

Let us sit, brother.

-Mom, please take her inside. -Ah!

-Come. Have some upma. -I will be back. Carry on. Please.

Namaste. Please sit.

You sit.

-This is my brother Mr Ramachandra Rao. -Namasthe!

-He is my friend, guide, and philosopher. -Hmm.

He is the reason behind my success.

What about Bhagyalakshmi?

Uh, he raised Bhagyalakshmi too. I just wanted to introduce you.

He praises me to skies.

But I was informed of the wedding only a day early.

It’s okay. I just want Bhagyalakshmi to be happy.

I heard only good things about you.

-Stay in the room. I will be right back -Okay, aunty.

You are his son-in-law So, you are as good as mine.

Why is he here?

That’s why… look…

for my future son-in-law, this is a small gift.

-One minute. -Brother!

How long have you been there?

-Sir! -Oh!

How come you are here?

I heard they are from Bangalore. I have my relatives there.

They are not from Bangalore, sir. They are from around Bangalore.

Oh! Hmm.

Mr Daniel was looking for you.

Oh, I will go. I just wanted to chat.

Mom is calling you. Please, come.

I will be back, sir.

Okay.

Hey, Vasu! Come here once.

Hey, what is it?

Please take care of her for a while. I will be right back.

-Hey, why do you guys dump everything on me? -It’s not like that.

She is our guest. We must attend to her.

-Just for a while… -Fine. Go ahead, I will take care.

-Please come. -I didn’t come here to sit.

No, no. I will come back immediately. Please, sit inside.

Hey, what’s the matter? What happened?

Hey, I have been trying since then. No one is taking the call.

Do something, man.

I am in soup here.

Hey, don’t worry. You have me. I will take care.

Where are you now? -At home.

-What about the girl? -I took her home.

Why did you take her home?

What do you want me to do?

I took her to the office but the EO saw me.

Okay. Don’t panic.

I have just started for Vizag. I will somehow set it right.

-Okay? -Okay. Do something.

This is not nice, Bala.

Why, sir? What happened?

What do you mean what happened?

Only your school and college friends are friends?

Aren’t office colleagues friends?

Don’t we deserve parties?

Tell me what you want.

I will ask my people to bring it. Where?

Is that enough?

What about company?

Our EO sir is here.

No way. I am not going to drink with that pest.

Hey, Bala! Shyam is making a scene.

You must control him. Come.

Come on, come!

Just now…

No, no, no!

I don’t think Bala knows the system.

-See this. -Pass me that sari.

-These two go well for the wedding. -Brother!

Listen!

Your advice has no value here.

Come. Pack our luggage. Let’s go.

-What happened, brother-in-law? -What more?

He informs me just one day before the wedding.

The groom pushes me away when I am presenting him a chain.

There seems to be no respect.

Chanti’s son bought a phone recently.

What was the phone?

Apple phone.

Whatever.

He called me and said,

“Uncle, I am making the first call to you.”

I had tears in my eyes.

That…that’s respect.

Get ready.

How can you leave, brother?

We are from the bride’s side. We should overlook some things.

Oh!

Is that why you overlooked when your son-in-law pushed me?

I deserve this.

You taught me a lesson for raising you like my own brother.

Listen, listen. Look!

Bring Mr Subbaiah and others along with us.

-Okay, sir! -You can make one more trip for the others.

The boys will come on their bikes. Huh?

Mr Venkatrao! Who arranged all these cars?

Who else? We did.

Our Veerababu…

Hey!

Why are you standing there like a pillar?

Come on. Come and load the luggage.

Didn’t your co-father-in-law arrange it?

I didn’t want to burden him.

How can you be so soft?

They will take you for granted.

I say this with experience.

Yes, yes.

-Husband! Make him sit inside. -Come, come.

-Sit right there. -Come on, come on.

-Get down and then get in. -Get in, get in.

-Vasu! -What?

-Please bring her along carefully. -Okay. Go ahead.

You sit! They will come. You carry on.

Bring her.

Please, come. It’s okay. Come.

Hey, your pallu is caught there, check!

You just wear saris and then notice nothing.

Stop shouting and get in.

After your father died,

if I didn’t take care of you, would you be so successful?

Hmm. Okay, fine.

It’s your daughter and your family.

I don’t mind you ignoring me.

But pay attention to them.

Your son-in-law will be here.

Wash his feet and sprinkle the water on your head.

Hmm.

Please, come, brother-in-law.

Come, come.

-Greetings. -Greetings.

Please come in.

Wait, wait, wait.

What sort of reception is this?

Is this how you receive the groom’s family?

We are treating you better than you treated us.

What treatment?

What have you done for us?

We have arranged for our own cars.

We took care of the band and catering.

You should at least receive us properly!

This is not correct.

What’s the problem now, dad? We just have to go in. Let’s go.

Quiet. You don’t know anything. Don’t second whatever they do.

No washing of feet. No sandal paste…

No, no! What is this?

What is it now? You want the feet to be washed, right?

-Hey, hey, Bala! -Oh, no! Son-in-law!

Stupid fellow! Not you!

They should be washing your feet.

He is embarrassing me. Why is he so different?

-What does it matter, dad? -Huh?

Sorry, sir. Please, forgive me.

I was in a hurry in the morning and couldn’t pay attention to you.

Hey, come on!

I never felt bad.

After all you are our son-in-law.

I wanted to give you this in the morning.

I couldn’t. Here.

Let me give it to you now.

Hey!

What is this, Hanumatha Rao?

Is this how you receive the groom’s side?

You disgraced our family.

Brother-in-law! Don’t take anything to heart.

Come. Come inside, first.

This is a gentleman’s talk.

See and learn.

My brother doesn’t know these things.

-Please, come. Come inside! -When will he learn?

Let’s go, dear!

OLD TELUGU SONG SINGING

How is the sweet?

Horrible!

They are from his uncle's shop.

I don't mind eating.

Hey, you digest nothing unless you eat in front of him?

Mom, is Buchi here?

I don’t know. I didn’t see him from morning.

Here. Drink this milk.

You can’t eat anything until the wedding is over. Drink it!

Okay. If he comes, ask him to see me.

Why are you after Buchi?

Is he going to live with Buchi instead of his wife?

Well-said.

He is so anxious for Buchi.

We don’t count for him..

Mr Venkatrao, lentils in the lunch was delicious.

Hey, where did you disappear?

-He has been agitated since morning. -Where is he?

-He is in the room. -Okay.

-How are the arrangements? -Great.

It’s your friend’s wedding. That much is expected. -I can see.

-Priest! -Sir?

Do you think Tadipatri Suryarao could match this?

How could he? You are something else!

Why don’t you tell me about the dowry?

-Hey, Bala! -Hey, where the hell were you?

-Bloody! -Come inside, first.

Wait a minute.

First, tell me what happened exactly.

The doctor sounds evasive.

When I confronted him- You signed a paper that day, right?

You signed it as her husband.

Projecting you both as a couple with a pregnancy issue and opting for surrogacy

he entered both your details in the record.

He made sure he is completely safe.

-I told you, didn’t I? -You did.

I refused to sign!

Don’t worry.

After your wedding, go to Ooty for honeymoon.

I will take care of the girl.

I will put her up in the next town for two days.

But switch off your phone.

If she tries to be adamant…

I will threaten her ‘How is my cousin responsible?

Do whatever you want.’ What can she do?

She has to leave for Kuwait anyway. She will go along with the kid.

We will be safe.

Somehow I feel this is not right.

This is definitely right.

OLD TELUGU SONG SINGING

I did suspect!

That something like this will happen.

No way will I trust anyone now.

I will go right now and inform your family.

-Something seems off. -How well you are planning!

-Hey! -What? What will you do?

I didn’t agree to it, right?

He didn’t agree to it yet!

-Shut up. -But I can’t.

If you try to betray me, I will not keep quiet.

Look!

I am as guilty as you are in this boy’s birth.

That’s why I looked after him till now.

I have come to you now because I am helpless.

He is born to both of us.

I never denied it.

So…?

That baby boy is his.

-Priest! Here. -Yes?

Bring the groom quickly.

-I will call him right now. Go, go. -Don’t be so stingy.

-Think like me. Work gets done. -Hello! Where is your friend?

Why does he take so long to get ready?

They are calling him.

He is in the middle of some issue. He’ll come. Please wait.

Issue? What issue?

Not a big issue.

Some lady came with a baby boy and claims the groom to be the father.

Tell them he will come as soon as the issue is sorted. Please go.

Oh, my! A boy!

The groom has a pre-marital affair.

-He even has a son! -What?

Sister Lalitha! The groom is already married.

He even has a son!

-Really? -Huh!

The groom is already married. He even has a son.

Anyway, your boy is obedient.

Our Naidu’s son…

They sent him to America for studies. And he came back with a wife and a son.

Mr Naidu sold the rice mill for what his son did.

Brother-in-law! Our boy is not like that.

-Yes. You are right. Correct. -I was a strict disciplinarian.

Even now he is marrying this girl on my insistence.

-Yes, yes! Come…cheers… -Cheers, cheers…

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Mr Venkatrao!

Your first daughter-in-law came with her son and is making a scene.

What first daughter-in-law? We are drinking but he is getting inebriated.

The lady your son brought in the afternoon seems to be your daughter-in-law.

She says the boy is your son’s.

There is a big issue going on there.

-Snacks. -Get lost.

-Let’s go. Let’s go. -Move. Come on.

OLD TELUGU SONG SINGING

-Where is he? -He is inside, uncle.

Hey, Bala!

-He is your responsibility now. -Bala!

-It's time for my bus. -Bala! -It’s not that, madam.

-You! -Wait! One minute!

-Hello -Hey!

Who are you?

What have you got to do with my son? Huh?

-Mrs Sailaja! Please! -Speak!

-Hey! Who is this girl? -Dad, please hold him.

-What… what? -Mrs Sailaja!

-Who is this? -I believe it’s your grandson.

How can he be my grandson?

Madam!

Mrs Sailaja! Madam!

-Please stop. -Hey, hey, hey!

Who is the girl?

Nothing like that, mom. Surrogacy…

She is a Christian?

Oh! She is a Christian. She is not even from our community.

Why did you do this? Huh?

She is not a Christian, mom. -Hey!

Your wedding starts in ten minutes and why are you following her?

Huh! What is all this? Tell me!

Dad… it’s nothing like that. I will tell you. Please wait.

Both of you tell us.

How can all this happen without your knowledge?

This is a drama by father-son duo.

Hey, stop!

What do you mean drama?

Hold him once. Hold him.

What? What do you take the Boradas for?

What is there to think?

It’s all crystal clear.

-Father-in-law, please once- -Don’t you call me that!

First, come out with the truth.

What truth?

Where is he?

Hey, idiot! You are always next to him.

Didn’t you advise him?

I was telling him the same thing, uncle.

Who are you?

You knew this earlier, didn’t you?

She even learnt the prawn curry for you.

Why did you do this?

Hey! Stop your prawn nonsense.

-Is that important now? -Hey!

Hey!

Hey, Hanumantha Rao!

Hey, get up.

I am right here.

-You could have called me. -It’s not that, brother.

-I will talk to him. You wait. -Okay, go ahead.

-Husband! -Quiet.

Hey, gentleman!

You were infuriated because we didn’t wash your feet.

Show your maturity now.

Hey, do you hear them?

-Tell us what you did. -What do I say-

If you all can come inside for ten minute, I will explain everything clearly.

No one will go inside.

An image tarnished in public should be cleared in public.

-It’s not that, sir. -Whatever you want to say, say it right here.

When you are not at fault, why should you be scared, Bala?Say it right here.

Sir, please wait, sir.

What is all this, Bala?

Everyone says he is your son.

Is he your son? Or not?

Speak up!

Is he your son or not?

-Tell them he is not your son. -Swear by me and say it he is not your son.

-It’s not like that, mom. -Speak, Bala!

They are asking you something.

Yes. He is my son!

Bhagyalakshmi! But it’s not what you think, Bhagyalakshmi!

You have done enough damage. What is left to say now?

Uncle! Our guys are having drinks downstairs.

Shall I place the plates?

What plates?

He has already placed a huge plate for all of us together.

What is there to see? Let’s go.

You should be blamed.

You were mad about his government job and forced me into this.

What did I do?

You dragged Borada Venkatrao’s name through mud.

Come now!

Why are you standing around? Come!

As soon as you received a proposal,

without any enquiry or foresight, you fixed the wedding!

We made enquiries, brother.

You did? Keep quiet.

You informed me of the wedding just one day in advance.

Can’t I imagine how well you must have enquired?

Our ancestors said check seven generations before a wedding.

When you are ignorant,

at least involve elders like us and we would take care.

Okay, brother!

-Do take care… nonsense. -What?

-I mean…we will check properly and do. -Hmm.

Listen, pack those laddoos and kaza.

We can use them for the baby shower of Chanti’s daughter next week.

When the groom was all flustered in the morning, I had my doubts.

I should have become alert then.

I brushed them aside thinking you would have taken all care.

Hey, pack those saris and blouse pieces.

We can give them to Chanti’s daughter.

Why don’t you say anything?

Okay. Let’s pack them. Do that.

You have instructed anyway.

We will make a move, aunty.

Why do you want to leave in the dark?

Why don’t you go tomorrow after breakfast?

The wedding is canceled.

My husband took leave for two days.

My son also has his exams.

Why to waste time-

Of course!

He has to write the first class exams and become a Collector.

When Bala comes home, don’t say anything, uncle.

You were very strict in raising him.

That’s why he must be scared to tell you.

We will make a move. See you, aunty.

-Let’s go. -Bye, aunty.

Hey!

When he was a child,

he used to steal bidis from his dad’s pocket and smoke.

Now he is preaching me… on how to raise kids.

It’s gone!

The reputation of Borada Apparao’s family is totally gone today.

Who will step into this house again?

-Why this garlands? -Husband!

-Why… why this decoration? -Husband! Husband, don’t!

Please don’t remove the festoons in the middle of the night.

-It’s bad luck. -What can be worse?

The worst has happened..

Can I ever walk like earlier in the Gandhi statue center?

Huh?

Hey! I should actually…

-Hey! -Hmm.

Give him some milk.

I think he is hungry.

Hmm.

I never expected this from Bala.

You should have pulled him up.

I withheld myself because the girl could be lying.

-Otherwise- -What else do you want to know?

She came with a kid in hands.

But why are you supporting Balu?

Tell me the truth.

-Hello! -Huh!

-Didn’t you know this earlier? -No way.

-Would I keep quiet if I knew? -Hmm.

I won’t allow such injustice to the girl or let the issue get this far.

I would have pulled him up then and there. I was shocked myself.

That’s why never go by soft looks. -Hmm.

But you look softer.

Anyway, keep a hold on roaming with Bala.

Don’t encourage him to come home. We can get rid of him.

You never know what he is up to.

Hey!

Why do you always talk about your friend, Madhubala?

Our Bala is here. Make some coffee.

Oh! No milk at home? That’s fine.

I curse myself for trusting you.

Oh!

Don’t you want coffee? That’s fine.

Damn you!

Hey, Bala! Hey…

I will explain to you what Bala had done.

What else is there to know?

He ruined our reputation.

My heart aches for what he has done.

Is it here, uncle?

It must be gastritis. It comes from over eating.

-Like fritters, ragada… -Stop!

I am not such a fool not to know gastritis from chest pain.

You are not.

Give your stupid medical advice to the others. Not to me.

Hey, do you know what he did?

The Gundam family called him to attend to the mother who had fever

and he gave the injection to the infant.

He is so efficient.

Now he is trying to advise me.

All things said and done, uncle…

Is there a man in our town who can beat you at words?

See that?

Okay, tell me. You wanted to say something.

I was going to say it, uncle.

You are an expert at everything.

You are aware of our epics.

-You mean… Mahabharatha, Ramayana…? -Exactly.

In those epics, In those days,

when kings and queens had no children,

they turned to sages and maharshi's for advice, right?

The sages would come and bless the queen with a child.

Bala did something like that.

The thing is…

There is a queen like person in Dubai.

She has no kids.

So our sage-like Bala blessed her with a child.

The only difference is…

You call him a sage?

Err…

Our boy is a saint.

-But the thing is… -You will get it from me.

Are you supporting the nasty thing he did?

What is it, husband?

What does he say?

Some lady from Dubai wanted a child.

Our son spent a day with her and-

-he gave it.

Yuck! What kind of mindset is that?

Wait.

Don’t say a word. I will beat the crap out of you.

-Quiet, uncle. Hear me out. -Dad!

-Balu never met the lady. -Yes!

How would he have a son without meeting her?

I am a father of two sons. Don’t I know?

What you have done is a dirty job. And you are trying to describe it.

I will skin you alive…

If you come back with such dirty words again…

That… uncle!

Are they unable to understand?

Am I unable to explain? I just don’t understand.

You did a nasty job.

And then you draw a comparison with sages and epics.

You will be cursed. Idiots! Idiots!

Damn!

You are lucky to find it out before the wedding.

If this came out after the wedding, we would have been in soup.

Sister, tell brother-in-law not to spare him at all.

I will give this back to you in the evening.

-Okay. -Bye.

-How long are you going to sit like this? -How are you sir?

-Have something. -Is madam home?

She is inside. Please go in.

-Greetings, mother-in-law. -Shut up!

Who is your mother-in-law?

It’s not that, aunty.

Aren’t you ashamed to come here?

We wanted to talk about what happened last night.

Oh!

What you did at the venue was not good enough?

You came all the way home now!

Look!

Don’t take my daughter’s name ever.

I won’t spare you. Get lost! Get out, first.

-Please hear us out. -We had a quiet life till last night.

-Thanks to you, we have lost our reputation. -It's not that.

Get out!

You won’t find peace. You will be ruined.

Don’t stand here shamelessly. Get out!

Why doesn’t she listen to us?

Too much.

Bhagyalakshmi!

Bhagyalakshmi!

Bala! Leave it.

At least you listen to me, Bhagyalakshmi.

I don’t care what the others think.

You are important to me.

I didn’t do anything, Bhagyalakshmi.

You are angry as usual, aren’t you?

You will come back in two days, won’t you?

I know.

Hey, hey!

How dare you come and make a scene when there are no men at home?

Stop! Wait, wait.

This is my chain.

You were pretty fast to take it yesterday.

-Don’t think it’s all over with this. -Come on.

Sorry, Bala. I never foresaw such damage.

I will somehow get you out of this problem.

Bala!

Let’s go, I will take care!

“The world without you seems like hell all around”

“I feel deep inside anguish that’s fathomless”

“Time that played a wedge chases me away”

“Before the next step the story has changed”

“Again and again the tired heart keeps calling you in silence”

“A commotion rocked the shore it has merged into”

“Broken and with eyes welling up at an invisible distance”

“Won't the lovely past ever come back?”

“Go away, distance Is it a crime to be together?”

“Is this a thread that can be broken? This love never grows apart”

“Is silence my flaw?”

“Is it an imperious curse?”

“I shall wait all my life”

I sent all the reports on what'sapp. Yes, sir?

-Is the Dr Daivaprasadam available? -No, sir.

No?

-Has Daivaprasadam returned? -No, sir. We don’t know when he will come.

-I have come to give blood. -Hey, Buchi! -What is the hurry?

It’s a sin, man.

That’s why I will admit him with my own hands.

Let me bear the sin.

Hey, Bala! I can’t bear to see you in this position.

No, no! I will take care of him.

It’s only until his family comes from Dubai as the doctor said.

Give me the baby. I will take real good care of him.

Chuck it! Even if no one comes, it’s fine. I will take care of him myself.

Why should he be made to live here because of our selfishness?

Don’t ever give me such stupid ideas.

What sort of drink is this? It gives no kick at all!

Chicken manure seems to be lucky for him.

He is spending a lot on his son’s wedding.

This is doesn’t look like a wedding in his home.

It’s like pointing to my failure.

If your son were more disciplined, what is this man before you?

Stop it.

He is a youngster.

It is a mistake of his age.

As if we were any less at that age.

Brother-in-law! Whatever happened has happened.

Bring your daughter-in-law home.

Things will fall into place.

Don’t bother about all these things.

-Get the girl home, first. -Huh?

Where are you going, brother-in-law?

I will relieve myself and come.

But why that way? The staircase is this way!

He said the drink had no effect?

Hey, Bala!

-Please come upstairs once. -Hmm.

Why do you want him upstairs now?

Strike when it’s hot. Tell him, brother-in-law.

Why do you stare, brother-in-law? Tell him!

Okay.

I won’t say anything.

Get the girl home.

I will speak to your mom.

Which girl?

Don’t test my patience.

How many do you have?

-You don’t seem to understand what I say. -Don’t say anything else.

We will speak to the girl’s family if necessary.

See…your dad himself has agreed.

-Uncle, you… -Go and get the girl.

-Bah! I drank too much. -Brother-in-law! Do I smell?

First stop asking me that.

Every day nuisance. -Okay.

I don’t know if my wife opens the door or not.

-Dad! -Bring her. Bring her.

I’ll take care. Go bring her.

Try to stay calm, madam.

If you get hypertensive, it will become a health issue.

How can I be calm when my daughter’s life is falling apart?

They will be ruined! Idiots!

Ever since I saw the two rogues yesterday,

I have palpitations, stress and weakness.

What is my BP?

Dad! Everything is fine.

I said I will take care.

I’ll take care.

Okay.

-Roshini!-Huh? You will be fine.

-Your name? -I will inform mom. She will take you.

Balamuralikrishna.

-How old is the baby? -Nine months.

Nine months!

Take this.

Please, sit there. I will call you.

Okay. Can you see that my turn comes faster?

Okay, sir!

Is the doctor in?

-No, ma’am. She will come in the evening. -Okay.

Doctor asked me to keep the baby there for an hour.

Men are not allowed inside. Only ladies are allowed.

I don’t have any ladies with me. It takes time for them to come.

Just an hour. That’s all.

No. Mothers are feeding their babies inside.

They will be uncomfortable if you go in.

You take him then.

I will wait here for an hour.

Should I do my duty or yours?

Already, our lady doctor is cranky.

-It’s not that. My son is crying a lot. -Not possible.

-I brought him so far because he is not well. -I tell you repeatedly. Why don't you get it?

-No matter how much you request, not possible. -Please don’t say that.

You can’t say not possible…

-Can I go? -Yes, you can.

Okay, he is fine.

He is fine.

They want him back for a general check up after a week.

Okay.

Bring the baby’s mother at least next time.

Bhagi! Bhagi!

Please wait.

Bhagi, please listen to me.

What should I listen to?

When you were in love with her, and married her,

why did you see me?

Why did you say you loved me?

Why did you take me to the point of wedding?

Because it was you I loved.

It was you I wanted to marry.

And it was with you that I wanted to spend my life, Bhagi.

He was born out of my sperm donation.

Not the way you think, Bhagi.

So, what about the girl?

She will never come back.

This poor baby?

He won’t leave till my death.

Bah! World is full of men. Why should you end up giving it?

I didn’t know I would be so unlucky when I gave it.

I was coming to your home to tell you that.

No one paid me attention.

What would you tell them, Bala?

That you had a son before marriage.

That he was born through some method.

Give me your daughter’s hand and all three of us will live happily.

Tell them this and who would accept?

Why did you do this, Bala?

When our wedding was canceled, do you know how much I cried?

How many dreams we had?

No kids for two years.

Only you and I.

When you destroy them all at once,

how does it feel, Bala?

Why did you tell me all this?

Till now...

I was thinking you cheated some girl

and then was about to cheat me.

You were an evil person in my mind.

Why did you tell me this and become a good man again?

What should I do now?

“Anger on one hand compassion on the other”

“Won’t this confusion end?”

“Oho”

“It’s not even a moment and the dream has melted away”

“Tears begin to weep uncontrollably”

“Should I give him up and stay in the truth?”

“Should I ally his resolve and erase the past?”

“Go away, distance Is it a crime to be together?”

“Is this a thread that can be broken? This love never grows apart”

“Go away, distance Is it a crime to be together?”

“This love never grows apart”

Make that alliance fix and make it done.

Let’s tell her.

Okay the proposal I brought and invite them for engagement.

Whatever you do, always do it for others. Do nothing for me.

No dad! Bala is innocent, dad.

He has no connection anyone as you think.

Stop taking his name. Marry the boy I bring.

Dad…

It’s good, if you listen to me this time.

I don’t know what you will do.

The Losettis got sent their son-in-law to prison, remember?

Is it possible to do that?

Hey, brother!

Police case?

Are we not done with our defamation? I will die bribing the department.

Hey, wait.

What? Why are you barging in as if you are my son-in-law?

I wanted to talk to you.

We won’t listen to you and we won’t be convinced.

We realized you are a cheat.

If he was deceptive, he wouldn’t admit the baby was his.

He would have told some lie and got married.

What? You are at fault and still raise your voice! Huh?

-No raising. It’s the truth. -Hey, one minute.

Knowingly or unknowingly,

your family has suffered a lot because of me, sir.

There is no point in explaining how it happened or why it happened.

I can’t return the honor your family lost because of me.

Give it to me.

But, I can reimburse all the expenses of the wedding.

Do we look money-minded to you?

There. Keep it on the vehicle and go.

Please forgive me.

I won’t disturb you again.

I have nothing of yours with me other than this.

Let’s go!

You were hasty for no reason.

Sailaja's issue would have been resolved in two days.

Hello, friends! Welcome to Facebook Live!

You must have watched crimes and atrocities on TV.

But today I stream it to you live!

Do you know what the wonderful monstrosity is?

Our EO sir’s engagement.

There! The wedding party is here! Come on!

Wow! It looks very festive here.

The wedding arrangements are in full swing.

The bridegroom’s car is approaching.

Ah! Dashing groom! Come, come!

Come, come!

What is this, Mr Daniel? Why all this celebration?

You got into an alliance overnight.

You are getting engaged by the morning.

What am I compared to you? Come, come.

Wait, wait, sir.

Hi, friends!

We seek your blessings for our EO who is getting engaged today.

Greet them, sir.

Hi! Hi, friends! Hi!

Why all this?

You are finally getting married, sir.

The whole town should hear of it.

I arranged live streaming on Facebook.

You actually like the idea. But you blush on the outside.

Son-in-law…it’s

-Namasthe Father-in-law! -This was planned overnight.

-So we couldn’t make better arrangements. -That’s fine. That’s fine.

My brother’s son-in-law is as good as mine.

That’s why… here… this small gift for you.

A small favour, sir.

Come, come. Please come inside.

-Let’s go. -Let’s go.

Why is he in the way?

Wow, we are getting unbelievable likes.

-Friends! -Take it.

Mother-in-law served him something.

EO sir is putting the sweet aside.

And is about to eat boondi.

He is 40+. So he is being careful.

-Hey! Is that necessary? -Live update, sir.

They should know what is happening here.

See? 234 people are watching.

Sir, sir. Did you see the comment?

Tailor Suribabu… He says ‘Your EO’s clothes are really nice.’

-He tailored these clothes. -Oh!

-Hey, nauty Suribabu. -Who is the bride groom?

Huh?

It’s already quite late.

Call the bride quickly.

We can’t avoid such things

-How can he say that? -Don’t bother.

We can’t find the girl.

-What? What happened? -She is not inside.

-Friends! Interesting twist! -Where did she go?

Not willing to marry our EO, the bride has jumped with Bala.

What do we do now, brother?

Hey, keep all the sweets and snacks inside.

-Send the saris and blouse pieces to Mr Kotaiah’s shop. -Oh damn!

-Hey, Hanumanth Rao! -What about my fee?

Sir, sir…They want to see your reaction. Favour, favour…

-Did they tell you she eloped with Bala? -No, sir.

I added it to make it more interesting for the viewers.

See. The viewers increased by a hundred after the twist.

-Please, get down. -Is this the house?

Damn your silly pauses!! This is the house. Get down!

I didn’t respond when I had to.

I hope Bala won’t murder me as soon he sees me?

If you don’t respond now, I will have to murder you.

Get down.

Mr Venkatrao’s daughter-in-law is here.

Uncle!

Uncle!

What is it?

Mr Venkatrao! Your daughter-in-law is here.

What?

Hey! Did they tell you she is the daughter-in-law?

They don’t have to. The whole town knows it.

This is how you ruined my cousin’s life.

Uncle! Speak.

What is this? Have you any sense?

Where were you all these days? Huh?

If there is some clash between my son and you, you should tell us.

How could you leave the baby and go?

Uncle, let me explain.

No, I won’t.

Now things will happen as I say.

Why do you stand like a statue? Speak up!

-Actually, sir… -What sort of a father are you?

You left your daughter to her fate!

Father?

-Oh, no. It’s not that. -Whatever happened has happened.

Forget everything and accept your daughter-in-law inside.

Hey! Keep those clothes aside.

Put vermilion and take her inside.

Vermilion?

Unlike you imagine…

Ah…I understand…

Christians!

They are not into all this.

Wear it just once. For our sake.

First time you are coming home as our daughter-in-law.

-Bhagyalakshmi! -Once…

Bhagyalakshmi!

Bhagyalakshmi!

So, you brought your daughter-in-law home.

Where is my daughter then?

What?

-Are you drunk early in the morning? -Drunk?

Why would your daughter be here?

If your son didn’t come to our house again, my daughter would be in my house.

Your son has hypnotized her.

-My son came to your house? -Ah.

Hey! Why would he go to their house?

Ah…he went to pay them some money.

So, you knew this earlier!

I don’t know what’s happening in my own home!

No one heeds my words.

-I don’t want to stay here anymore. -Uncle! Uncle!

-He ruined Boradas’ reputation. -Do you see that, brother?

-Husband! -Oh damn!

What’s this?

Why does he lock himself up without answering us?

Like a woman?

-Uncle! -Hey, please check.

-Open the door, uncle! -There he is!

What is this, sir? What happened?

Where did you hide my daughter?

What are you doing here, Madam Sailaja?

Don’t look at me like that, Bala.

You can greet your wife and father-in-law later.

-First tell us where you hid our girl. -Tell us.

Bhagya… what happened to Bhagya, sir?

Hey, you can find out later. Come here.

-Your dad locked himself up. -Uncle!

Dad! Open the door!

Dad!

-Who put him to sleep here? -Mosquitoes are biting him.

Can’t you wait till I open the door?

Why are you banging the door like that?

You locked yourself in. I was scared.

That…

I wanted to wear underpants since I am talking to gentlemen.

You want me to wear them in the street?

Tell me now. Why were you in a hurry?

-What is there to say? -Go ahead.

Where did you hide my daughter?

First tell me what happened to Bhagi.

Why do you repeat my question to me?

Tell me!

Hey, why isn’t Bala answering his phone?

He is not in a position to. Tell me the matter.

It’s not that.

Bhagyalakshmi is undergoing a surgery in the hospital not to have children.

She already spoke to the chief doctor.

-Surgery is in an hour. Surgery!

Hey, Bala!

Bhagyalakshmi is undergoing a surgery in CMC hospital not to have kids.

What are you saying?

What? Why would my daughter undergo surgery?

Hey, let’s go.

Hello, Bala!

-Why do you run away without telling us? - Move aside, sir.

I am asking you.

Bala!

-Bala, Bala, Bala! -Favour, sir!

EO sir’s engagement episode has now reached Bala’s house.

Hey, stop your nonsense.

This is no nonsense, sir. It’s Bala.

Father-in-law!

Brother, hop on.

-Father-in-law! -Let’s follow them.

Lets’ go in this car.

Oh, ho! Do you see that? -Come!

Mr EO has unabashedly asked his future father-in-law to get in to his car.

Father-in-law is to the driver’s seat.

The Tiger claw father-in-law sat by his side.

-Bala’s father got in along with his grandson. -Come here daughter-in-law!

-Get in! -Get in, dear.

The car went past the statue centre at lightning speed.

-Father-in-law! -Oh, no!

You are the main character. Why are you left behind?

Come on. Come on!

Friends, they made an extra player of our EO and left him in the middle of the road.

Okay.

Sir, sir, they want your reaction…

Why do you want this surgery so young?

When did you think of this?

When I saw Vijayashanti in Swayamkrushi last night.

What?

You made a decision based on a film?

You may find this foolish.

But it’s very important to me.

Tell me in case you are not willing.

-I will go to another hospital. -Bhagi…

-Who are you? -Ma’am, please, please.

Please respond.

Why don’t you respond?

One minute.

What is it, Bhagi? Why all this?

Don’t talk to me.

I won’t talk to you either.

What happened, Bhagi?

Leave me, Balu.

No one cares for me.

Not even you.

What is this, Bala?

Can’t I take care of him for your sake?

I want you, Bala.

I want you. That’s all.

I thought if I did this,

my family would consent to my wedding with you.

To marry you…

-I couldn’t find another way, Bala. -Um hmm.

Unless it gets this far, won’t you react?

Sorry, Bhagi.

I didn’t know what to do and hurt you.

You can hug me tighter.

Tell me we will always be together like this.

We will be together.

Always!

Always like this together. Okay?

-Uncle! -What the heck!

Hey, Bhagyalakshi! Have you gone mad?

You have your wife right here. And what are you doing?

-Don’t be upset. I will talk to him. -Dad! It’s not that.

-Hey! -We found the girl.

You take your time.

Stop it!

Is this a hospital or a village fair?

-First, all of you leave. -Dad, let’s leave.

Why fifty rupees for the auto?

The hospital is very close.

Dubai lady’s death spelled disaster for us.

I saw a number of cases in my service.

But something like this never happened.

That’s why in all the panic I didn’t know what to do…

and remained passive.

When you do such things you shouldn’t panic.

You should be ashamed.

Make blood donation. Food donation.

What sort of donation is this? Donation, my foot!

Have we ever heard of such things?

Don’t be so dismissive, sir.

So many couples across the world are happy with kids because of your son.

-Hey…uh... -Uh…

Because of people like your son.

This is nothing new.

-We find it in our epics- -Shut up!

Don’t mention that again.

-He told me the same thing the other day. -He was the one who told me.

Sorry. It was sir.

Why didn’t you tell me that day?

Did you allow him to tell you?

Each one wrote a story to his liking.

He could have got rid of the boy if he wanted.

But he didn’t do it.

I don’t know whether what I did that day was right or wrong.

But I felt it was wrong to give him up.

I stopped myself from making that mistake.

So, you don’t have an illicit affair with this girl, Bala?

This bloody…

Sorry, Mr Bala!

I was in a state of fear and judged you wrong…

and said something.

Forget all that.

What about the baby?

You don’t have to worry about the boy.

We both came to a decision on that.

We will raise him.

We?

What do you mean ‘we’?

What is she talking about?

Don’t you still understand?

I will stay with Bala.

-It’s not that. He is- -Hey, Hanumanthu!

When the kids are stubborn, what can we say?

-Brother! -Okay.

Others talk about your son’s affair with some girl etc.

That is a better story.

Keep that real.

Don’t let truth come out.

It’s very nasty.

What, Hanumanthu?

Okay. You have agreed.

-What choice do I have? -It’s okay!

The boy is the only problem.

He is not naturally born of your son.

If you can leave him somewhere-

Why should he live somewhere?

We have our own house. Four acres of land.

Can’t we give him some?

It looks very little right now.

What if he wants half the property when he grows up?

What does it matter?

If he is my brother’s grandson, he is my family’s grandson.

Where is it?

You took the chain very smoothly from me.

Return my chain.

Here. This is my first gift to my grandson.

So, the tiger’s claw medal was meant for him.

Okay. I will take care. Don’t worry.

Come, come.

Give your gifts that side. have your meals this side.

-Brother, stop talking about gifts. -Okay.

Hanuantha Rao! Are you in your right mind?

Why did you choose someone who already has a son?

That kid is not how we think.

It’s different matter there.

Wait, Hanumanthu.

Yes, he has a son.

What do we care how he was born?

It’s our girl. Our decision.

Why are you bothered?

For giving gifts go this side.

For meals go that side. -Greetings. -Greetings.

For pastime check whether all the items are served in the plates and tell me.

Go, go!.

What is this?

Nonsense!

I didn’t agree because we would face this.

You were too eager.

I didn’t consent just like that.

Err…what was that the boy did?

-I think it’s surrogacy… -Some gacy…

I didn’t understand what it was.

But childless people like me can recognize its value.

He had no connection with the boy and yet Bala didn’t leave him.

Why would he leave our daughter?

-Brother! -Wait, wait.

Don’t get emotional and hug me and all.

Just as I told you, be stiff with your co-father-in-law

and pretend you don’t like this wedding.

Otherwise, he will take advantage of you.

No smiles and greetings since morning, brother.

-Good! -Hmm.

No backing down. Ah!

My mother-in-law gave this to me.

I am passing it to you now.

After marriage, do the job you like.

Wear the clothes you want.

-But I have a condition. -Hmm?

You must teach me Hindi to follow Hindi series.

-Mr Venatrao! -Huh?

Wow!

Jackfruit biryani is so tasty.

Why won’t it be? He charged me 300 per plate.

Did you have ice cream?

Oh, no. It’s cold. So I didn’t eat.

But if you gave betel leaf and nut at the end, it would have been terrific.

Will do, will do.

See you.

We served 25 items.

He is missing betel nut. Idiot!

That’s how they think.

How do I address you after the wedding?

Husband or Bala?

Call me as you like.

I will call you Bala then.

I like that name.

When you call me by name, I like my name better.

You like it. And you like it.

What is the problem? Go ahead!

Music and selfie batch get ready.

Tie only three knots for bride.

Here it is.

Wait. Wait, wait.

What’s the problem now, dad?

They even washed my feet.

I have been watching since morning. Not a smile. Not a wish.

This looks like a forced wedding.

It’s not correct. It won’t work out.

Hey, Hanumanthu!

Didn’t I ask you to forget the past?

Brother-in-law, I am also your co-father-in-law.

-My brother is a cranky fellow. -He turned the tables!
