Original subtitles

I better rush even if I get drenched.

Hey!

Sometimes in life, we take the right decision and regret it.

We take the wrong decision and feel happy.

But, we shouldn't get stuck without taking a decision.

If we do, life takes a decision for us.

My name is Siddharth.

And this is my story.

SUNDARAKANDA

Just like the lines on our palms,

it would've been so nice if....

our hair color didn't change either.

I'm tired of dyeing it.

Stop checking your phone and hurry up!

If it's so urgent, you shouldn't have informed me all of a sudden.

Even you informed me all of a sudden that you're going to the US.

That's not in my control, dad.

Once you cross a certain age, even this isn't in your control.

It's an odd fact.

Stop reminding me about my age...

and don't forget to check if you packed everything.

I'll be back in 10 minutes.

I just hope that I don't forget to take you along.

I'm waiting at the door.

Hi, dear. Is son-in-law coming?

He would come inside if he was here right?

Common sense.

We would cook baskets of sweets for every alliance.

They would say the sweets are delicious. He would say he doesn't like the girl.

I'm fed up!

But I got to compromise.

Dad, you know his reasons.

That is exactly why I'm tensed.

Please convince him somehow.

Alright, dad. Stop worrying.

I'll talk to him.

Pack all these sweets for me.

The only sweet memories I have in this house include packing sweets.

Did you hear all that?

Didn't you discuss outside my room for the same purpose?

I feel bad for dad.

We couldn't find a girl with the qualities you want in India.

He's worried you'll never get married once you go to the US.

I'm equally worried.

But I can't compromise now, can I?

I'm not asking you to compromise.

But please consider the circumstances.

Sister...

No matter what the circumstance,

I can't do anything against my will.

I can't marry someone that I don't like.

Don't overthink it.

Don't stress it.

The baby's health is more important to us.

-But, listen to me. -Not now.

Mom, where are my shoes?

The same place you left them yesterday.

Mom, water!

I know you prefer room temperature. It's on the dining table.

Help yourself.

Where are the sweets?

In the hands of your father who's approaching you.

We have Bengali sweets this time.

Mom, you're least interested in your son's alliance, aren't you?

Why would you say that? I got ready before you.

You're not making eye contact while speaking.

You're not wearing a Kanchi Pattu saree.

No gold jewelry.

No homemade sweets either. What do you mean you got ready?

Are you sure you're interested?

It's not that I'm not interested.

I just don't have any expectations.

Without expectations, there's no excitement, is there?

Does that mean you won't even see me out?

What's with that nausea-face?

Here you go.

At least you seem excited.

Oh, I'm not excited about the alliance.

I'm excited about the debts you cleared.

Why don't you feel responsible one more time and get married?

Just a mild suggestion.

-Here you go. Bengali Sweets. -Thank you.

He doesn't look like this in the photograph.

Why does everyone look confused?

There's no confusion.

I sent an old photo of yours to look convincing.

Two things. Stop sending my old photos, and stop dyeing your hair.

You stop dyeing your hair.

Who's calling you?

-Hello, tell me. -You tell me.

What?

Is your prospective father-in-law on a phone call?

Hmm.

He's talking to the uncle who's here.

Coming, coming. Two minutes.

It's okay. Carry on.

They're doing the alliance and the inquiry at the same time to avoid suspicion.

So what?

Who would say negative things about his friend to a stranger?

You guys would.

You're making us do it.

Okay. I'll call in case the qualities don't match.

Please call only if they match.

Otherwise, the boys will go ahead with the plan as usual.

Coffee?

I'm really sorry. I saw you suddenly and...

Got scared?

No, I got nervous.

It's okay. Have it.

Think before you drink it.

Not a good idea if you're diabetic.

Mom, calm down.

I'm saying it for his own good.

Sorry, my grandpa is a little too blunt.

It's hard to have a conversation when so many blunt people are around.

So, is cooking an important criteria to get married?

Not for me.

What's your criteria then?

Do you think he'll ask her the regular questions?

You're doubtful about it?

No, I'm scared.

I'm looking for 5 qualities.

What are they?

First quality.

Can you speak with your eyes?

What?

Can you speak with your eyes?

God gave us a mouth to speak.

You're right.

Alright, what's next?

Do you like chocolates?

Of course, who doesn't.

So if I give you a bunch of chocolates,

will you get impressed?

People are usually impressed when they're gifted their favorite things.

How many friends do you have?

Sita, Sindhu, Priyanka...

That's all.

Why so few?

I have a hard time trusting people. I have trust issues.

I get it.

It's hard to trust people.

-Can you write something for me? -What exactly?

Anything will do.

He's strange.

What is she going to write?

I asked you to write for me.

Not about me.

Hey, Kumari!

Are you blind?

Sorry, ma'am. You got camouflaged in the plants. I didn't see you.

Sorry. I'll change and come.

-Yeah. -Thank you.

-Kumari, get me a towel. -Even this alliance is a no.

-Here you go. -Thanks, man.

Uncle, you said you had doubts about Siddharth. Go ahead.

What kind of a man is Siddharth?

Since my guy's life depends on this,

I'll say he's a good man.

Oh!

What if a girl's life depended on it?

Since he paid me 25,000 rupees, I'll still say he's a good man.

Swamy will tell the truth.

What do you think, Swamy?

I'm a new joinee here.

I'm figuring him out along with you.

They won't speak until I pay them.

I'll give you 30,000 rupees. Will you say the truth?

Uncle! We'll make a lie sound like the truth for that money.

Just tell me the truth as it is.

When he speaks, you need to search for the context within a pool of cuss words.

Cuss words are common these days. Even I cuss a lot.

We stopped wearing short clothes because he intimidates us.

-He can't play poker to save his life. -That's great.

He still plays and loses 1 lakh every month.

He could lose 1 lakh per day sometimes.

A guy gave us 25,000 rupees to speak well about him.

Can't you gauge if he's a good man or not?

You're right.

I felt sorry that he didn't get married all this while.

I didn't take him for a bad guy.

He'll never get married in this life.

I can't get him married.

I give up.

Hey, what's the girl's score?

What?! Didn't a single quality match?

Hello! Didn't it click for you?

He doesn't want one or two, but five qualities.

This is never happening.

We're not new to his insanity.

Cancelled alliances is common for us.

But what's with this new roadside meeting?

It's for me, sir.

-You're Mr. Rao's maid, correct? -Yes, sir.

Why are you paying her?

Because I risked my job and spilled water on my madam.

-You spilled water on your madam? -Yeah!

I'll spill water on you if you pay.

Way too professional!

Why did you get the water spilled?

Clothes dry easily once the sun comes out.

She was rude to the maid for no reason.

Oh!

Oh!

Water. Sun.

Spilled!

He's turned into a super villain.

I can't travel with him.

You guys go. I'll hail an auto.

I've had enough, Mister.

Oh, no! Dad!

Hey! Dad is going alone.

Why are you laughing like a sadist?

It's not like he's going to Afghanistan.

He said he'll hail an auto home.

Let's go.

He's never getting married.

-Hello. -Dude, it's definitely Shiva.

-I've shared his location.

-I'll be there in 30 minutes. -Done.

Dad!

-Where's this guy? -Over here.

Where's Shiva?

There. The guy in the blue shirt.

Shiva!

Hi.

Recognize me?

It's not your fault.

You saw me when we were kids.

I wouldn't have recognized you either.

But I told your name, school name and had people search for you.

So, I had to recognize you.

If we had the kind of relation that you came searching for me,

we should've been in touch or at least been able to recognize each other.

No matter how much I think, I can't recognize you.

My body has gone through many changes ever since.

The beard and moustache.

Maybe that is why our elders gave us names.

Siddharth.

Geetanjali School.

[teacher's voice]

Teacher!

-You are... -I'm Vaishnavi's father.

Your daughter didn't come to school today. Any problem?

Yes, indeed. That is why I didn't send her.

She's studying well, thanks to you.

But somebody's love is distracting her.

I'll send my daughter to school again, only after I kick him out.

If anybody knows him, speak up.

Otherwise, the punishment will be severe when we find out.

Tell me who the real culprit is.

Come on, tell me!

Uncle...

Yes, your daughter is in this class.

But the boy who loves her isn't from this class.

Are you the boy who loves my daughter?

Is this the age to love someone?

Rascal!

This is the gift he gave her.

Being fancy with the gift box, eh?

Get lost!

If I see you in this school ever again,

your face will be intact; only, the nose will be missing.

Idiot!

Really, you've changed beyond recognition.

So, what have you been up to? How are you?

I'm doing fine.

Good job. Happy family.

Good friends.

I'm going to the US in 2 weeks.

Oh, you're also the US batch.

Are you going to settle there or come back?

I don't feel like going.

But, it's the situations.

I might not come back once I go.

So I figured, before I go,

why not clear all my regrets since childhood?

I repaid my debt.

I apologized for the mistakes I made.

Similarly, I want to return the beatings I took for no reason.

When I planned on doing that...

I immediately thought of you.

So, I came looking for you.

I looked at you and thought, Oh, he grew up.

But you're still talking like a kid.

I thought you'd apologize, and it would be hard for me to hit you.

But, you haven't changed a bit.

There's nothing wrong in hitting you.

You inquired deeply about me and came all the way.

But I guess you didn't inquire about the area.

Today,

I cleared a debt I took a year back, including interest.

So, when it comes to the beatings I took for no reason,

I'll not worry about the interest.

I don't mind.

He's a kid, guys.

Make sure to give him a memorable beating.

Hey!

Siddharth, no! Stop!

He's my son.

Are you okay?

Sorry.

I was about to hit you in front of your son.

I didn't hit you today...

because you got me into a fix that day.

Sometimes, due to the decisions we make in life,

our lives may not change much.

But someone else's life might change completely.

Like my life.

You go.

I heard that you smashed Shiva.

Still, I'm not feeling satisfied.

Why?

-I have two more regrets in life. -What are those?

I want to go back to college and enjoy my life.

And the second one?

Vaishnavi.

He's doing it again.

Oh, no!

My left eye is twitching.

Please don't get started again, man. I beg you.

I want to meet her...

and tell her how much I loved her.

Swamy...

Who is Vaishnavi, Swamy?

Swamy...

Come see me once you take the Swamy Mala off.

-Please... Please... Please... -Sure.

I don't get it.

-Something is wrong. -My heart is racing.

-Is he going to... -Yes, tell that story again.

This Vaishnavi story is torturous, man.

Swamy, was she your first love?

Where did you meet her first?

She was my senior in school.

One bad day, when I saw my results and felt sad,

she seemed happy to me, balancing my mood.

That's when I realized...

that eyes could speak too.

There's this one girl in every batch.

The special one.

-Someone everyone talks about. -Nice work.

In our school, it was her.

At a time when girls would be impressed by chocolates,

she was someone who would never be impressed.

Others would use the notice board for silly things.

But she would use them to spread positivity.

While they were teachers who scolded the maids for not cleaning up water,

even when water was spilled on her,

she would say never mind and leave.

-I didn't see you there. Sorry. -It's okay. Not a problem.

Did you love her, Swamy?

Maybe… maybe… maybe… In this chapter of life, we’ve paused, oh my heart…!

Maybe… maybe… maybe… you don't care because I keep coming back to you

With your warm cheeks flushed with red, I thought I could fill them with love — maybe.

Did I fall for you?

In your sweet words, Did you know I lost myself completely?

I gave myself to you

When I see the shooting star soaring above, It feels like it’s your smile.

No matter how many words I speak, They’ll never be enough…

The stream that laughs through your eyes, Your worth is beyond imagination,

And yet, somehow… you made me feel it.

In every glimmer — it’s you. In every dream — it’s you.

In every longing — it’s you. And yet, you never truly gave yourself…!

In every glimmer — it’s you. In every dream — it’s you.

In every longing — it’s you. In the end, no matter where I look — it’s only you…!

Maybe… maybe… maybe… In this chapter of life, we’ve paused, oh my heart…!

Maybe… maybe… maybe… you don't care because I keep coming back to you

Like a stream of words, Your praise flows endlessly… oh beauty…!

You walk among people, yet shine like a star.

If I ask you what’s the one thing you know for sure,

Will you say — “There’s no temple for this goddess”?

Even letters would fail to describe your grace,

Your charm is such that I can’t set any boundaries,

You are the crescent moon I adore, And even that adoration is not enough…

In every glimmer — it’s you. In every dream — it’s you.

In every longing — it’s you. And yet, you never truly gave yourself…!

In every glimmer — it’s you. In every dream — it’s you.

In every longing — it’s you. In the end, no matter where I look — it’s only you…!

Maybe… maybe… maybe… In this chapter of life, we’ve paused, oh my heart…!

Maybe… maybe… maybe… you don't care because I keep coming back to you

Sorry.

Your book.

I'm really sorry.

I guess you're running late for your flight.

Yes.

Then why did you stop to apologize?

It's okay. Go.

-Sure? -Hmm.

Thanks.

When will she come out?

Hi.

I thought you were late for your flight.

I have 10 minutes to spare.

Just a small replacement.

The stain will be gone if I dry wash it.

But I can never say no to a dress.

Thank you.

Actually, this isn't what you should be buying me.

You should get me a coffee.

I don't mind. But I have only 10 minutes.

It takes time to drink coffee.

Not to buy it.

I know. But I prefer staying till we finish the coffee.

I have a solution for that as well.

-Have a good day. -Thank you.

Thank you.

-Where are you flying to? -Vizag.

-Indigo? -Hmm. Same flight?

No. But the same destination.

I have a later flight.

What are you doing so early at the airport?

I love spending time at the airport.

-Are you from Vizag? -No, I'm travelling for a friend's wedding.

What? You still have friends who're unmarried?

Oh, you're also unmarried.

The hair dyeing is clearly not helping.

You look nice.

Is there some other problem?

I don't have any problem. The problem is with me.

What's that?

It's a long story.

Umm... But you got 2 minutes only.

Oh, shit! Let's go.

I've finished my coffee.

You can leave.

Nice meeting you.

Same here.

-Bye. -Bye.

Damn, this traffic!

You go early and there's none. You go late and there's plenty.

Hello. Please pick up my daughter along with yours.

-Okay. -Okay. Bye.

-Why don't you stay home and pick her up? -She's your daughter too.

It's my friend who's visiting.

But you said he's like my brother when you first introduced him.

Call your brother and ask where he is.

He'll call once he lands, right?

He's calling.

-Hello. -Where are you, man?

-Where are you? -I'll be at the parking in 5 minutes.

No need. I'll be with you in 3 minutes.

You stingy fellow! Are you avoiding parking to save money?

I can get 250 grams of cashew with that money.

This dude!

I'll give you that money. See you at the parking in 5 minutes.

Damn! I have to pay for the parking slip now.

Parking is for waiting. Not picking up.

Whose car is it?

I promised internal marks and 10 guys raised their hands.

-This belongs to one of them. -It's okay if we get late, right?

I can wait for 2 days. What's the matter?

Actually, I met a girl at the airport.

I saw her when she was falling.

She's a wonder!

Just say that you bumped her and caught her.

She didn't get pissed even though I bumped her.

She understood the situation and didn't expect an apology either.

She's very kind-hearted.

-What's the score? -2, before even talking to her.

I'm afraid it would be 2 even if you talk to her.

I'm speaking purely from experience.

Don't listen to him. He's a negative person.

You go on, brother.

This might sound simple.

But it's difficult to find women who speak with their eyes.

-I feel like they've gone extinct. -Yes, they have.

Women nowadays only yell.

I meant your mother, not you.

I don't know, man. She's a 5 on 5 for me.

You guys keep daydreaming.

-I'm going to college. -No, brother. Listen.

We shouldn't be here to confirm your feelings.

Where should we be then?

Milk bill!

Dude, nobody has the name Phoebe.

Don't act stupid. Just hold the goddamn placard.

Hello, Phoebe!

Is that her?

Phoebe? Phoebe?

I didn't observe before but Vizag girls are really pretty.

I'm talking about girls.

But I haven't seen anybody like her.

Maybe she lied to you about being from Vizag.

You've got to think and speak if you want to lie.

She didn't seem like the type to think and speak.

What you said is true for men.

But women hesitate to tell the truth, not lie.

We're running late.

We'll miss the wedding.

I even bought her a pattu saree for this.

Call him.

-Do you want to wish him? -Hmm.

-Hello. -Where are you guys?

I am finally getting married.

Hello. It's me.

Siddhu, my boy! Where are you guys at?

-How long? -We'll be there in 10 minutes.

-Oh, you're here? -But not the wedding venue. The hospital.

Hospital? What happened?

-Satya had a stroke. -What?

We're rushing him to the hospital.

If everything goes well, we'll be there the day after the wedding.

Stingy fellow! He had a kg of sweets at my engagement.

Of course, he got a stroke.

-Alright then. Call me if you need anything. -Okay.

My wedding is more important to me than his.

Phoebe!

Phoebe!

Hello, white shirt.

It can't be her.

Even the pilot has left.

Does anyone named Phoebe come here?

Phoebe?

No, sir.

In the last week or month.

-Yeah, I remember her. -Are you sure?

How could I forget such a weird name?

Don't judge someone's name, okay?

How can we confirm?

Kumar... Sushma...

Dude, it's not Phoebe. It's Preethi.

Can you read at all? Attend my classes for 2 days.

Idiot, let's go!

It's okay. We'll try someplace else.

I don't think we'll find her.

I wanted to say this back at the airport.

I said that so you'll encourage me.

I thought maybe you had a realization.

Phoebe... Shit. Auto!

-Don't you write names on the cups? -No, sir.

Let's leave.

-Let's drink. I'm exhausted. -Here you go, sir.

-Yes, dude. -What's the situation like?

-He's in the ICU, fighting for his life. -I'll visit him after our honeymoon then.

-Yeah, that's better. -Hey! Hey!

They'll give cake and wine even if we don't find the girl.

Bro, your family doesn't have caste/religion feelings, I hope.

They're glad if he just finds a woman.

He's right.

What if we don't find her here either?

We're already searching on social media.

What if that plan fails too?

You'll drop me at the airport and go to college.

You'll stand by that, right?

Swear on him, bro. It will be good riddance.

May Lord show me the way to the God!

Amen.

Good morning.

When you had planned to drop me at the airport, why didn't you take a day off?

I can get a rice bag with that money.

How stingy!

You guys search for the girl instead of staring at the names on the cup.

I'll go sign and come back.

-Idiot! Let's go. -Mr. Subbarao, got your salary I believe?

I can't find a single Indian with this name.

Brother...

Maybe the name is a lie.

But the girl is real, right?

You really like her, don't you?

I didn't expect to like someone after so long.

Ma'am, order?

Two strong filter coffee, please.

Sure, ma'am.

Names on the cup, please?

Names.

Do you think she's a college student?

There are chances.

Don't you think that's too young?

Let's inquire and see. Please.

Do you know anyone called Phoebe?

Yes, ma'am.

You do?

-Sure? -She just went inside the college.

The proof is in the dustbin.

Hold this.

Sir! Sir!

-Sir! -Phoebe!

Sir!

-I'll be there in 2 minutes, man. -We found Phoebe.

-Really? Where? -Our college.

My college?

We'll go look for her. You come fast.

Why is my left hand aching after hearing this news?

-Those are symptoms of a heart attack. -Mind your business, sir.

I'm out of here!

I don't want a single soul to leave the college.

I got this!

-Hello, madam! Who are you? -Satya sir's wife. Close the gate quickly.

Sir, your wife had the college gate closed.

Damn it!

Phoebe!

Phoebe! Does anybody know Phoebe?

Where is she?

-Good evening, sir. -Good evening. Go to home.

Hello.

-Hey, you still alive, mate? -I'm about to die. Bye.

Oh, lord!

Where did she go?

I should get to him before he enters the class. Siddha!

One minute.

Move! Move! Move!

Where is this girl?

Sorry, I thought this is the exit.

How old is the girl you love?

-She's under 30. -Is she above 20?

I looked everywhere, brother.

-I couldn't find her. -Stop entertaining him.

Think of the age gap and advise him.

We'll miss the flight.

-Bro! -We'll pay the coffee bill later. Go!

No, no. I saw Phoebe.

-Really? -Yes.

She was right here, sir.

Is that her?

Hey!

-Are you coming to the lab? -No!

-Okay, bye. -Bye.

She's so young.

Hey! Ageism, huh?

He's just a few years elder.

It's a whole generation.

What's with you? You either love someone really elder to you or younger.

Can't you find someone your age?

Hey! There are so many love stories with an age gap.

Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt.

Dilip Kumar-Seira Bhanu.

Sachin Tendulkar-Anjali.

Dil Raju-Tejaswini.

Nice couple. But she's my student!

Then quit the job.

I thought you sucked at teaching. But you don't even know their names.

You made us go on a hunt.

Hello.

Her name isn't Phoebe.

It's Eira.

Roll no. 39. Luckily, that's also her percentage.

Just like I can't teach without a guide,

she can't study to save her life.

She's not this active in class.

She's always sleeping.

Don't think of her as your heroine.

She's just average. Let's go.

Character isn't some color that stays permanently.

A few words of wisdom and it will change.

When we're low, we talk to our loved ones.

But when you're low because of a loved one, who do you go to?

That's how illogical your quotes sound.

He'll keep preaching if you listen to him.

Don't listen to whatever anybody has to say about a girl.

Sometimes, you shouldn't believe what you see.

Go talk to her and get to know her.

Will he write any exam now?

You guys will really give me a heart stroke.

Deny it for namesake, at least.

Phoebe?

Hi! What are you doing here?

I came to meet a friend.

Your friends are still in college?

He's teaching.

-Siddharth! -Shh! Don't disturb him.

Wait!

You aren't the one searching for Phoebe, is it?

When you want to meet and can't find them, searching for them is basic, right?

So, you did search for me.

Why?

Yeah, why?

Your name is Eira, right? Why Phoebe?

Phoebe. My favorite character from Friends.

I like to be just like her.

-That's why. -But why?

We can't be ourselves with everyone, right?

Did you want to meet me to ask this?

I just know that I wanted to meet you.

But if you want the exact reason,

-I'll have to look for one. -Then I won't ask for it.

Bye.

A cup of coffee?

Like you were running late for your flight that day,

I'm running late for my bus now.

-I can't do it. -We need time to drink coffee.

Not to buy it.

But you'll stay till I drink it, right?

You have a solution for that.

Thanks.

Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye, sir.

These coffee walks with you are becoming a thing.

I didn't have time the other day. Today, you don't.

I understand running late for a flight.

But for the college bus?

Flights are better. They fly if we don't come on time.

But the bus drivers leave and blame us later.

Eira!

Just a second.

Sorry, I forgot to give this to you.

Mom has sent fruit salad for you.

-Health conscious? -Yeah, I got to be.

Otherwise, I'll have to wear XXL size like the one you gave me.

Didn't you exchange that?

I would have.

If I had the bill on me.

I didn't want you to know the price.

Eira.

-Hi. -Hi!

Hi, sir.

Who's this? Your brother?

Bye.

-Idiot! He looks like one.

If I want to meet again, do I have to search for you again?

You can ask for my number directly.

-Eira! -There goes another guy!

It's not a coffee walk anymore. We've been stopping at each sip.

Give me 2 minutes.

You lied to me before, didn't you?

The bus leaves on time. You choose not to go.

What can I say? I can't avoid friends.

Are you friends with everyone in the college?

You could say that.

Do you trust everybody?

If we don't trust people, can we really board a bus at least?

Simple.

SHE HAS MANY FRIENDS

I'm your friend too, man. Think about my job too.

She's so cute.

Okay, see you guys!

-She's coming. -Hi, sir.

Hi. Are you studying well?

Is he teaching well?

-She's my wife. -Hi.

Hi.

My friends are dropping me. Bye.

Yeah, bye.

What now?

Estella. My Insta ID.

Thanks.

-You have a mask on. Is that the one? -Yes.

-What's Estella? -It means 'Star'.

Do you stay away from everyone like them?

No, but I love to smile like them.

A bit too filmy, eh?

All the girls are like this these days.

Bye.

Bye.

Just a minute.

What for?

Can you write something for me?

What exactly?

Anything will do.

She doesn't take notes, what will she write to him?

Choose one.

I may not have written it for you.

But I truly mean it with my heart.

That is for me.

-Bye. -Bye.

Read what it says.

Have some chill.

Actually... Shall we go?

Stop ticking the boxes.

There's no girl who doesn't like chocolates.

Will you ever be positive?

Let's see what I got.

The wife is always right.

Why didn't you leave the luggage in the trunk?

Why did she tag along?

For good luck.

The luggage will remind you to go to the airport.

-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

Dude, I'm a lecturer here.

It will look bad if I join you. Just go ahead.

All the best.

-I'm worried someone will see me. -It should work out for him.

Sir, I have a doubt.

You call this a doubt? Go back to kindergarten!

-Don't hit him if you can't solve it. -I'll totally do that.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh!

Is it your birthday?

Are you trying to impress me?

Will you be impressed by chocolates?

Don't take them. Don't take them.

You're pre-diabetic and you still eat all your daughter's chocolates.

Why wouldn't she take them?

If she doesn't, she'd get a perfect score of 5.

She'll definitely take them. Start to the airport in 5 minutes.

Thank god! I told you so!

Bye.

Bye.

It's just one quality, brother.

People have millions of qualities.

I asked only for 5.

How can I compromise on one of them?

We have a flight to catch. Let's go.

-Let's go. -Siddharth!

You asked earlier if I'd be impressed by chocolates.

That was a wrong question.

I am impressed by your efforts.

Not the dress.

Or the chocolates.

Doesn't it feel nice...

when someone puts in efforts for us?

We do get impressed when we're getting attention.

Thank God!

See you.

My horoscope says that I will live like a King beginning this Saturday.

I didn't care too much about it.

But then I got hit by a huge shock.

The girl of my dreams has shown up in real life.

My hands kind of shiver when I look at her.

My heart finally belongs to someone.

Hammayya… what a moment! Everything’s falling into place.

Hammayya… my heart’s finally in love

Hammayya… my heart’s dancing around.

Hammayya… my mind is free at last.

Let's have a blast

Let's kill it together

Let's have a blast Let's kill it together

Let's have a blast

As I look with wonder, the moon slips into my hand

As she smiles, I begin to lose my mind

I feel the thrill of the last bell during school days again

I have waited enough. Your friends and family are my dear ones now

Hammayya… what a moment! Everything’s falling into place.

Hammayya… my heart’s finally in love

Hammayya… my heart’s dancing around.

Hammayya… my mind is free at last.

Let's have a blast

Let's kill it together

Let's have a blast Let's kill it together

Brother...

You have to go to the US in 3 days. Do you remember?

Are you planning on not going?

I want to stay back till I go.

Why don't you tell her the truth and stay with her for a lifetime?

Okay. Disperse for today.

Do the homework.

What is it you're thinking deeply about?

Brother wants to propose to her.

Go ahead but not in the college, please. I'll have second hand embarrassment.

-Nothing new. -Shut up.

-Hi. -Hi.

I need to tell you something.

-Right now? -Yeah, I need to talk today.

Thanks for the plant.

What do you keep writing in that book?

Things that I like.

What did you like today?

The way waves sound today... I like that.

-They sound the same everyday. -Not to me.

What do you like?

Manisharma.

I love listening to his songs at this time of the day.

He's magic!

J-Hope is magic to me!

-BTS. -I know.

My mom listens to him.

What? Your mother listens to him?

He's a next-level singer.

Balu Sir.

God-level. Forever.

-Taylor Swift. -Shreya Goshal.

-Friends. -Amrutham.

But it's a serial.

I don't know the difference between the two.

-Netflix and Popcorn. -Bawarchi Biryani at RTC X Roads.

-Blue. -Black.

-Beach. -Mountains.

Parasite and Pursuit of Happyness.

Gundamma Katha and Mangamma Gari Manavadu.

-Song Joong Ki. -Who's that?

-Korean Superstar! -Better than Mahesh Babu?

Of course, not.

-Gal Gadot. Wonder Woman. -I have a long list for this.

Savithri ma'am when I was young.

Aishwarya Rai when I was growing up.

Soundarya for a while.

Recently, I like Keerthy Suresh and Mrunal Thakur a lot.

But right now, it's just you.

Shall we get married?

-You're joking, right? -You would've laughed if it were a joke.

I am laughing on the inside. I just can't laugh out loud somehow.

Is it the age difference?

No, it's about whom you like.

Phoebe or Estella?

Or Eira?

No matter how many names Sita has,

-Sita will always be Sita. -But I am not Sita.

What's the difference?

What similarities do we have?

We just spoke about it.

Don't you see how different our worlds are?

It's basic science.

Opposite poles attract each other.

For that to happen, the poles need to be closer.

When are you leaving?

I can postpone my travel.

For how long?

I'll leave.

-Who's the CR? -That's me.

This is to inform you...

Satya sir has been transferred to a different section because somebody filed a complaint.

Who in his right mind complains on himself?

-It's out of friendship. -I shouldn't have befriended you.

They appointed a new lecturer in his place.

He'll be taking this class now.

Eira...

Look.

Is he doing this for you?

Hi, I'm Siddharth.

Your new Asst. Professor of Mathematics.

God! He's coming!

Hi.

Who asked you to show up like this?

You only said that I need to be closer to feel the attraction.

I said that assuming you wouldn't come.

Is this postponement?

It's permanent.

What about your job?

You're supposed to flying right now.

I came back because it didn't feel like the right thing.

Are we fools to believe you're the right choice for it?

What about your family?

Well...

What about EMIs, DMarts and other stuff?

I'll look after everything. Including your pocket money.

Do you think life is a joke?

I don't see you laughing.

Can't you see that I'm pissed?

This won't work out, Master.

You can't like someone as quickly as you like a heroine.

Is it enough if she's good looking?

Don't you have to get to know her?

I'm here to get to know you.

Let's talk outside.

You know what this book is.

But, do you know why?

I don't like sunrises.

They never gave me any hope.

I don't like social media.

I don't like the beach.

I don't like the red light.

I don't even like the bench I sit on in college.

I don't like a lot of things.

I have more things in life that I dislike than I like.

I note everything down in this book because I might forget.

And these pills...

I can't sleep at all at night.

You see, it's not insomnia.

It's a phobia.

My parents used to be really happy when I was a kid.

They loved me so much.

But once they would realize that I'm asleep,

they would start fighting.

I wouldn't get it back then.

But if I didn't fall asleep,

they were sure not to fight is what I derived from it.

I stopped sleeping in the night.

They stopped fighting.

I screwed up my sleeping schedule.

They ran out of patience.

They got a divorce.

At an age I was supposed to lose my fear,

I lost my father.

So,

that's when I decided not to lose anyone else.

I stopped being the person I like, and started being the person others like.

Phoebe and Estella, the versions you see in college, aren't true.

This is the truth.

I shouldn't say this but...

you're still a kid.

-Do you have class? -Uh-huh.

Let's go out?

Why did you bring me here?

Just a minute.

Can you pick up all these garments and hang them on that rope?

Why?

Weird!

Will it sustain if we hang so many garments?

Life is similar, Eira.

It's just like that rope.

Just like those garments,

people who come into our life are meant to leave at some point.

If you think and demand they stay with you forever,

our life will end up to be just like that rope.

In fact, there will be no life left.

Coming to your father,

everyone has a dark side.

And rightly so.

Get this.

Even for you to see your favorite stars,

you need darkness.

And...

if guys start admiring heroines for their looks, the list will be endless.

We admire them...

for the beautiful characters they play.

Because they embody the qualities we like.

Keerthy Suresh is Savithri.

Mrunal Thakur is Sita.

You are...

Eira.

Not Phoebe.

Not Estella either.

Who are you guys?

Damn!

-Stop them! -Come on, run!

I feel reassured now

Love is blooming little by little

Shall we figure this out together?

I wonder what fate has in store for us

You see the rainbow when the sun and the rain come together

If you and I really become one, there's no bigger miracle than that

Dear Eira... Dear Eira...

I will love you even when you're 70

Dear Eira... Dear Eira...

Don't take my feelings lightly

Eira is like the silence amidst the fog

Eira is like the wonder in a child's eyes

Eira is the beautiful dance of eyebrows

Eira is like a hug on a winter morning

You move like the Queen of hearts

I gather your words together like pearls in the ocean

Dear Eira... Dear Eira...

I will love you even when you're 70

Dear Eira... Dear Eira...

Don't take my feelings lightly

Suchi, is breakfast ready?

Your husband has college. But no breakfast on time.

My dad asked me to prioritize the one who works.

A loan shark has a lot of free advice.

You don't have to follow everything.

We bought this house, all thanks to his business.

-I'm also earning a salary. -That is why I'm feeding you.

This bland food?

Why is the chutney like dish soap water?

-Just have it with the dosa. -You call this a dosa?

Sir, where's Siddharth?

-What happened? -I fell asleep last night, sir.

Oh, really?

What does she mean? Isn't that time meant for something else?

I fell asleep last night.

I know. I waited for a while.

You know how much that means to me?

After my dad left the house,

last night was the first time I slept.

I told you Mani Sharma is Magic!

You are magic!

Let's get married.

One minute.

He's definitely brewing trouble.

I bought these for the girl I loved when I was young.

They stayed with me due to a few reasons.

I wanted to give these to someone I loved again.

I'm giving you now.

You had a childhood love story?

You didn't even tell me.

-Well... -It's better you don't know about it.

What are you looking at? Give her the gift.

You can come and talk to my family anytime now.

I know I'm a grown up.

But I've never been to a girl's house in this scenario.

If I talk, you'd have to go find another girl for yourself.

I'll go and talk to her.

You?

She's a single mother.

Very independent.

Will you still go talk to her?

Talking to Pakistan and solving the Kashmir dispute is easier.

Who's going to talk to her?

Hey!

What?

Don't involve me in this, please.

Uh-huh. I won't go.

Do you really need me here?

You're going to be a mother. She's already a mother.

Things will flow smoothly.

What a stupid logic! You're mad.

-Hello. -Where are you?

-We'll be there in 5 minutes. -Okay.

Let's go.

Sir, this way.

Hey, we're not going for an alliance.

All of this is a bit much.

If we don't take gifts, they won't see how much I love her.

If our parents also thought so,

we would've been homeless by now, considering all the alliances.

What's wrong?

What?

Vaishnavi!

Mom...

They're on the way, mom. Just a few minutes.

It's okay.

You wanted a girl just like her.

And you ended up loving her daughter only.

Sir, do you need something?

Sir needs a 10 minute break.

Okay, ma'am.

How long will they be in there, man?

Now I understand...

why Mahesh Babu was so shocked in the Santoor ad.

I would have to be badly cursed...

for something like this to happen.

No matter how badly cursed one is, this is too much.

You can pray for that later.

First give a solution to this situation.

If I had a solution, I wouldn't be pitying you right now.

Let's get out of here?

But then, Eira would lose the confidence in you.

let's tell the truth?

But then, it's goodbye to Eira.

So, even if it's tough,

we need to lie.

We could. But it's not easy to lie.

Lying is like the rain.

It never stops at a single drop.

-Hello. -Where are you?

We got delayed due to sister. 5 minutes.

You started the streak of lies with me, eh?

Mom, just 2 minutes.

-They're using the washroom. -Okay.

Hey! Isn't that too much for this situation?

When we can't look someone in their eye and tell the truth,

we should at least hide our eyes.

Moreover, we're meeting for the first time.

I want to look cool.

You're not going to meet Vaishnavi.

You're going only to convince her.

Just saying.

Excuse me, ma'am. Shall I serve the food?

We didn't order any food. We're waiting for someone.

The ones you're waiting for have ordered these for you.

-Mom, that's Megha. -Hello.

Hi. Sorry we're late.

No problem.

Mom, that's Siddharth. My senior.

Senior?!

-Senior, this is mom. -Hi.

Hi.

-Please sit. -Thank you.

I feel like I've seen you before.

Is it? I thought you never noticed me.

Sorry?

I feel like I've seen you somewhere.

Many say that Eira looks just like me.

Maybe that is why you feel so.

-That's enough. Don't dig deeper. -Okay.

Sorry, I ordered the food without asking you.

Not a problem.

I'm actually surprised that you ordered all my favorite dishes.

The credit goes to Eira. I ordered her favorite food.

But Eira doesn't like mushroom.

-I love it. Mushroom. I love mushroom. -Sister likes it.

-How many months along are you? -7th month.

-Oh. First time pregnancy? -Not really.

I've had two miscarriages before.

But I am hopeful this time.

Definitely.

And trust me. The newborn is going to change your life.

Thank you so much!

If you don't mind, can I ask you something?

Eira said we're meeting her senior.

But you look like we're around the same age.

Damn!

You and your brother don't look too many years apart either.

How come he is Eira's senior?

What's in the age?

Now nobody would guess you're Eira's mother, right?

Yeah, absolutely! You actually look like her sister.

Thank you.

-Idiot! -Thank you.

I hope she doesn't ask anything.

You wanted to meet regarding something. What is it?

Well, actually...

I...

You...

Please don't mind me asking in the first meeting.

Everyone in my family loves Eira.

My mom, dad, everyone actually.

So...

We want to invite you to my sister's baby shower.

Tell her, sister.

Yeah, it's my baby shower.

You should definitely come.

You should've just come home and invited. Why the restaurant?

Like you just said, we were hesitant.

Give us your vehicle number. We'll get the sweets loaded in.

We should be the one bringing sweets to your baby shower.

In our family, we take people out for lunch to invite them for lunch.

So, when is it?

I'll send the details to Eira.

I'll try. I'm not promising you.

-Hey, I'll call you back. -Okay.

Siddhu...

Hey, Eira is calling.

You think I don't know?

Get lost!

If you don't want to answer, just turn it off.

If I do, how will I know how angry she is?

Over smart, huh?

You should've done these calculations while loving her and her mother.

Soak your feet in.

-The water is cold. -What?!

I heated them for quite some time.

You're in shock, you can't feel it. The water is boiling hot.

We can't calculate these things. I didn't expect in my wildest dreams.

-It's 102 degrees. -Who told you to dip it in the water?

I've never seen such an awful situation.

It's not so bad. I love Eira. I'll marry her.

Vaishnavi is my past. I don't discuss it much.

Are you kidding me right now?

Hello! Even your milkman knows about Vaishnavi.

-Stop it! -The story is that famous.

He's already worried.

Someone else also felt sorry for him and she regrets it now.

Sister, cut back on the ice cream.

Otherwise, we'll know it's not cravings.

Couldn't you find any excuse other than my baby shower?

That felt like the right thing after that discussion.

It's not like they will definitely attend.

What if they decide to show up?

My brother will show you guys hell!

I thought you're on my side.

Everyone here is on your side. But, what if she finds out the truth?

If we all stay quiet, there's no chance.

That's true.

Still, there is a chance she might find out.

How?

The earrings.

Ugh! Not again!

Oh, lord!

Those earrings are such bad omen. They always invite trouble.

What a waste of hot water! I would've bathed in them for 2 days.

Too hot!

If this love story has to go forward,

I need to bring the earrings back immediately!

And to do that, you need to take this call first.

I wonder if she will answer my call.

Please.

Where did she keep the earrings?

I need to steal them ASAP.

You said nothing gives you the courage that truth does.

Didn't you lie that I'm your senior?

Why did you lie about the baby shower then?

To be honest, I was nervous to tell the truth.

Can I get some water?

Is it that hard to tell my mom?

The reason I didn't tell her today is different.

I accept that it's my fault.

Plus, it's not hard to tell her that I love you.

In fact, it's hard not to tell her.

Stop flattering me.

Can I get some more water?

Why are you drinking so much water?

Why do you have so many bottles in your room?

Well, I don't sleep all night.

-That's why. -But I can still drink the water, right?

Two minutes. I'll get from downstairs.

You're strange!

Where did she keep it?

Hmm. Tell me.

Sister, where do women keep the important stuff?

In their heart.

I'll laugh at your joke after I come home. Please answer me now.

Well, if it's really important.

try the dressing table.

Where else, sister?

Try the closet.

Not here.

Try under the mattress.

The earrings would break.

Then check the shelves above the wardrobe.

Hold on. I see something. I'll call you back.

Okay.

Here's water...

I was checking for your childhood memories.

Those are childhood memories.

But my mom's.

I think mom has woken up. I'll just check and come.

Is the box in her bag?

Thank god!

Actually, I totally forgot to ask you something.

I totally overlooked it in this hurry.

-What's that? -The baby shower!

That was just a cover.

But my mom is insisting on going.

What's wrong?

Can I get some water?

What's with him and water?

I better hand her over to Kim from Korea.

Megha...

What's up?

Dad, please host a baby shower for me.

But you just had it at your in-laws.

Does that mean you won't do it?

You watched some movie and asked to get married just like this.

Can't we do a baby shower? Of course, we can.

We have to look for an auspicious day.

The coming Friday is auspicious. Let's schedule it.

We need to arrange the money.

But I gave my word, dad.

-To whom? -No, no. It's nothing.

Too late. Whom did you give your word to?

It's nothing, dad.

I get it.

Someone at your in-laws must have said something.

You called because it bothered you.

We'll host a better one than them. Let's kill it!

Stop laughing in non-sync.

-Bye. -Dad, listen.

Hang up.

-Is everything okay? -You idiot!

My parents and in-laws might fight because of you.

Slow down, sister. You need to breathe.

They don't talk cordially already.

Now they'll stop talking to you as well.

That's true.

Such are relations. So sad.

Of course, you're welcome.

Why does it smell like Korean food?

I just have to add the veggies.

Why didn't you just let the catering handle this?

You think this is fun for me?

Definitely looks like it.

What are you doing here dressed like a chef?

Chefs get easily offended these days.

I called him because it's okay to say shit to him.

I thought you called out of love. But you just needed a servant?

-Have you been here since morning? -Yeah. That sambar was all me.

-That is why it smelled like ulavacharu. -Yes.

-Yuck! Don't stay here. Come with me. -Let's go?

Where do you think you're going? Get ginger, garlic and tomatoes.

My wife is far better than yours.

At least she doesn't cook.

Aren't you here yet?

Aunty, how long will this take?

Get lost!

We don't know what we're doing here.

Why do you want to come?

We'll have some good food at least.

Please don't act cheap.

Have lunch at your respective homes for today. Bye.

No, please.

Office people are upset that you didn't invite them.

We don't know how to manage the people who are already here. Come on!

Stop worrying, man.

We've managed your school certificates.

The earrings are sorted too. What else?

-Vaishnavi... -Why do we have to manage her?

We should make sure nobody mentions the name Vaishnavi.

Thanks to him, nobody in the colony would dare to take her name.

What if she introduces herself?

-Simple. Dude, say Pencil. -Pencil.

His wedding cancel.

Useless fellow!

I get it. Not mentioning her name is the solution.

You should make sure she doesn't talk to anyone.

You make sure Eira doesn't talk to anyone.

I will.

Guys, everyone is downstairs.

What are you doing here?

Making sure the sunlight doesn't hit them.

Grow two sizes. You can guard the whole colony.

-What a sour puss! -Stupid gang!

Who's going to manage him? He's a loud mouth.

Your baby must be thinking of you.

They'll have lunch and leave. Don't get worked up.

We can't be sure.

-Sister, did you see Uncle anywhere? -Get lost!

You just thought of me, didn't you?

Your baby shower is happening because he thought of you.

Hey! Keep it low. People can't hear about this.

We'll make sure this doesn't come out.

But you should only save me.

I'm saving you more than the saving my baby needs.

That is why he thought of you earlier.

Look how happy Eira is.

Hi...

You just need to be genuine with her.

Her mom looks more beautiful though.

Someone said they'll come on time, have lunch and leave.

I want to kill that bugger!

Who would expect them to come so early?

-I didn't expect either. -Why would you?

If you move aside, I'll go introduce yourself.

Move aside? Follow me.

Hello! Remember, they don't know the matter yet.

But they didn't say no either.

You kids don't know how it's done.

Uncle...

Go behind him.

Nobody can stop him.

Dude, you can at least say that's Eira and that's her mom.

Otherwise, your dad will ask her name first.

-Yeah. -Go!

Oh, crap!

-Namaste. -Namaste.

Hi.

We didn't expect you to show up.

You gave many baskets of sweets.

We couldn't look bad by not showing up.

I'm Surendra. She's Lakshmi. Siddharth's parents.

-Your name? -Dad!

That's Eira and her mother.

I know Eira. She's a lovely girl.

How do you know Eira?

We keep talking about her.

You didn't mention your name.

Sister, are you fine?

-What's wrong, dear? -She shouldn't stand for so long.

-Sit down first. -Careful.

She killed it.

Slowly.

Who is she? Never seen her before.

Distant relative, I guess.

But they said only close ones are invited.

Maybe she'll become close after this function. How would I know?

Looks like he doesn't know shit.

Is it working out, dear?

I did come all the way with mom.

But I didn't confess my love yet.

He should be the one to confess, dear.

I'm also waiting, uncle. He said he would do it today.

-If he doesn't, I will. -Uncle!

I'll tell him to confess is what I meant, you pervert!

Hello! Please don't tell anyone anything. Thanks.

Okay. We'll go and talk, dear.

He's unbelievable!

-Why are you laughing? -What should I do?

-Hey! Go check on Vaishnavi. -Fine.

How is she related to you? I've never seen her before.

I'm chanting here and you're making her talk.

There's a line behind you. Keep moving.

-Please get seated. You guys come. -Come forward.

You're Megha's relatives, right?

No.

-Siddharth is my daughter's senior. -At work?

No. At college.

-College?! -Of course.

Show him your ID card, dear.

He's a jealous man.

Is she afraid to show?

Don't I look like a college student unless I show the ID card?

-Where are you from in Vizag? -Siripuram.

Do you know Mr. Venkata Rao from Siripuram?

That's my father.

That is why you looked familiar.

-Your name is Vaishali, right? -Aunty, I've been calling you.

You're the Colony Heads. Go mind the children.

Okay.

The priest is calling you.

I totally forgot to ask. What's your mother's name?

-Vaish... -Dad!

-Eira... -Let her speak.

Come.

Alright, uncle.

The entire youth is like this these days.

What happened?

You look pretty.

Actually, I wanted to wear the earrings you gave me.

But I couldn't find them.

These look nice too.

What are you doing in public, man?

Students should manage teachers, to be honest.

But the teacher is managing the student here. It's all my karma!

Get lost!

Manage what?

Ignore him.

Priest, the payment is done.

Thanks for inviting us.

It's been a while since we've attended a function and laughed so much.

You can visit our home whenever you want to have a laughter session.

Irrespective of the functions.

I didn't expect your dad to be so trouble-free.

It's really been a while since I saw my mom laugh like that.

There can't be a better time than this.

Please tell her about us.

Even he can't hide the truth for long.

Looks like your dad won't give that chance.

I've been meaning to ask you.

-Your good name? -Hey!

Vaish...

Hi, ma'am.

Eira's mother is also here.

-When did you invite them? -A while ago. But they showed up late.

How come you're so late?

I didn't expect you to show up.

How could we miss sir's function?

Sir?

-What's the final bill? -I told you.

Not me, him.

I've worked more than you at this function.

We contributed too.

-Give another 500, sir. -Just take my wallet, will you?

Get to work!

What the hell!

Hi. Just closing a settlement.

-Come home once you're back to Vizag. -Okay, ma'am.

Thank you. We'll see you again.

Your name?

They're leaving. Go tell her.

Just go, man.

Eira!

Go tell her.

-Nervous for him? -Yes. You too?

I'm worried whose name he'll say this time.

I thought about it a lot when you were leaving.

I forgot to give the return gift. Give me a minute.

You go wait in the car, mom. I'll get it.

-I tried to tell her. -You keep trying.

Unless you talk to mom and she talks to me, I won't talk to you.

Seriously, Intermediate kids are better than you.

-What''s your problem? -I'll tell you later, dad.

If you don't say once, it's a human error.

But if you choose not to say at all, it's escapism.

Are you trying to escape?

So, whatever you've told me till now is a lie.

-Being her senior? -I'm her lecturer and that's the truth.

Inviting me to this baby shower.

We hosted the baby shower because we invited you.

So, it was all a lie.

The fact that I love Eira is the truth, ma'am.

Siddhu... Siddhu...

Please, mom.

Telling her isn't a problem, Eira.

But once I do, it's going to be a problem.

-Come! -Mom...

Mom...

Please listen.

You held my hand real tight, mom.

If I had held your hand similarly since childhood, it wouldn't have hurt today.

Does it hurt because you held my hand tightly?

Or because he let my hand go?

If it's because I held tightly, apply a pain-relief spray.

If it's because he let go, just leave him. It will be sorted.

But, is leaving someone that easy, mom?

I'm saying it's tough to hold on.

And when you know something is doomed, it's even tougher to hold on.

I also thought the same.

That I can't possibly fall in love.

But he's a stubborn guy.

He never gives up.

If I'm not wrong, after you dragged me home forcefully,

he must be waiting outside our house.

You can go look.

If he's not outside,

I'll leave him this instant.

He's there, isn't he?

I'm also stubborn when it comes to you.

From tomorrow, you'll either be with me or stay in the house. Period.

Hi.

Thank you.

Please, please, please ma’am… Why so much resistance?

Please, please, please ma’am… just listen a little

Please, please, please ma’am… it’s such a struggle.

Please ma’am… please ma’am… please ma’am.

There’s no one like him in this whole town.

Just search Google and see.

It’s not about age… it’s about the heart.

Please… please… pleeease…

Please, please, please ma’am… he’s such a charming guy.

Please, please, please ma’am… think about it.

Please, please, please ma’am… he’s a good man.

Please ma’am… please ma’am… please ma’am.

It’s like a rare sight after ages

It's like Lord Rama is born again

It’s a perfect match—like heaven made them both.

Please ma’am… please ma’am… please ma’am.

If you say yes, he’ll give dowry

If you say no, he’ll still be stubborn

He won’t cry, he won’t run away…

But don’t break his heart, don’t reject him.

Please, please, please ma’am… his love is as deep as the ocean.

Please, please, please ma’am… this is real, not fiction.

Please, please, please ma’am… he’s one of a kind.

Please ma’am… please ma’am… please ma’am.

Please ma’am… please ma’am… please ma’am.

Please ma’am… please ma’am… please ma’am.

Please, ma'am

Why do you look so confused?

Some guy in college loves Eira.

We can't file a complaint because she'd be defamed.

It's okay. Asking her to quit college is unfair.

But she says she's in love.

I got a boy kicked out of school for you.

Can't I get a guy kicked out of college now?

Brother-in-law!

This is him.

You wanted to see me?

Being a lecturer, how could you love a student?

But I didn't love a student, sir.

I became the lecturer of the girl I love.

It's one and the same.

That is why you need to get education.

What's your age and what's her age?

Aren't you ashamed?

He's always had a problem with my age.

-What do you want me to do, sir?

You thought you could pressure the 2 women into agreeing?

You thought you could threaten me with a few men...

and I would let her go?

I won't let her go, sir.

Let me know when your madness wears out.

We'll talk.

This isn't madness, mom.

Sending men to hit him is madness.

Even if he hits people or you break things,

I won't agree to this.

But why, mom? Give me one reason why he's not right for me.

I'll only leave him.

Your father.

You only know that your dad and I separated.

But the reason why we separated is the age difference.

They assumed I'm in love with someone...

and got me married to my mother's brother, whom I don't love at all.

It was okay at first.

He used to treat me like a little girl.

But as days go by, you don't want to be treated like a little girl.

Because they won't consider what we have to say.

They'll either question where we're coming from,

or claim that we don't know anything and shut us down.

If you still try to talk,

they'll silence you.

By staring at you with anger.

Or by hitting you without control.

When I finally decided to ignore everyone...

and leave him no matter who stops me,

I became pregnant with you.

He would treat you well.

But he would blackmail me about leaving.

The day you cried, I realized that when a mother isn't happy,

how can the kids be?

Moreover, raising a kid can't be as hard as birthing them.

I told my dad about this immediately.

I left your father.

Age difference isn't a singular reason.

It comes with the baggage of a hundred reasons.

You won't be able to live with him, Eira.

Mom, what's the age difference between you and me?

What about me and grandpa?

What about you and grandpa?

Tell me, mom. What's the difference?

We aren't the same as Siddharth, Eira.

In that case, Siddharth isn't the same as dad, mom.

Every couple fights, and it has little to do with age, mom.

But if you want to live together, you need to love the person.

You married someone you don't love and left him.

But I love Siddharth. I won't let him go.

Simple.

Dad and him aren't the same.

You and I aren't the same.

We won't end up like you.

So, students...

Siddharth, step out with me!

-What happened? -Just come!

What is this about?

I got a call about your fake school. Vaishnavi came for an inquiry.

Thank god! We did a good thing by replacing the certificates.

You're not getting the point.

This means that she has accepted you.

I'm glad the girl is from Vizag.

The wedding will be local. I'll save on expenses.

You stingy fellow!

I'm happy for you, man.

What's wrong now?

She'll go to my office as well for inquiry.

How unlucky are you, man!

Can't you stay happy for 2 minutes? Call Darshi!

Dude, Siddharth is calling.

He must be bored after class. That is why he's calling.

But we have our conference. Just ignore him.

Did he answer?

Shit!

Who would be beside him? Call Rajiv.

Hey, switch off your phone. He'll call you next.

It's switched off.

Call the short guy.

Sir, I know why you're calling.

-Don't worry. We'll ruin this perfectly. -No, listen.

-What did he say? -He's in the process of ruining it.

A 100 people must have come to the baby shower.

Why didn't you invite a few from the office?

What are you looking at? Call Darshi.

Turn on the speaker.

Hello.

Please don't tell me you ruined it.

Dude, you're on speaker.

Eira's mother is in front of me.

Ma'am...

Hearing what they had to say about you,

I don't need to do anything.

Eira will only leave you.

You don't have to bad-mouth yourself to get an alliance called off.

Just say that you don't want this marriage.

Sorry, ma'am.

See you at the Venkatadri hotel tomorrow.

Sharp 6 in the morning.

Sure, ma'am.

Never do such silly stuff again.

I'll make you sit in a wall-chair.

We're hungry and she brought us to the hospital.

-Why did she bring us here? -The breakfast is also bad here.

Hey! She's going to get me a full body checkup.

Hi, I have an appointment with Dr. Varun.

At the office, you can convince that you're a good choice.

But here, there's no chance. Your age will show.

I'm worried about the same.

Ma'am...

Do we have to do this right now?

If you want Eira, you have to do this.

-Who's the patient? -That's him.

Follow me.

Go, go!

-Is it done? -Miss...

Anything more?

Can I bribe them?

Your bag is like a suitcase.

Why are you sweating, man?

-Treadmill test. -That's in the gym, right?

What a dumbass!

Give me that! Let me have some!

Tests are done, ma'am. You'll get the reports on your phone in an hour.

Okay, doctor. Thank you.

Yeah.

Okay, I'll call you once I get the reports.

Ma'am, it's only a matter of one hour.

I might pass away, waiting for your phone call.

You came so early in the morning.

Let's have breakfast downstairs. I'm hungry.

Moreover, they took a lot of blood.

The hotel is downstairs. They have good poori-curry.

Let's go eat, ma'am.

It's gluten-free.

Thanks, ma'am.

For bringing me all the way.

I came this far for Eira.

But it's me Eira fought for, so...

Why Eira?

Why do you love her so much?

Her qualities, ma'am.

Sorry.

Words are the most powerful thing in the world.

Her words give me hope.

She doesn't show bias.

She's the same with everyone.

She's a happy person.

If we commit a mistake,

she feels bad for us first.

She doesn't lash out unnecessarily.

One more thing. I guess she got it from you.

She also speaks with her eyes a lot.

Do people fall in love over such small things?

Come on, ma'am.

When we fight over small things,

isn't it valid to love over small things?

Eat the top layer. It's nice.

I have your reports.

Please pass him even if the numbers are a little wonky.

I'll also make your daughter pass in my exam.

Please, ma'am.

There are a few issues in your body.

Let's go.

But luckily, there's a solution to everything.

Simple, ma'am. Follow Manthena Satyanarayana's diet for 3 days.

Fasting.

Will you go on a walk every day?

She doesn't mean following Eira. She means actual walking.

Yes, I'll go on walks.

Will you quit oily food?

He just did, ma'am.

-Sugar? -Is he diabetic?

None after today, ma'am.

I'm considering you after great difficulty.

Hey, Sai Ram!

You'll take good care of Eira, right?

You did it, man.

You wouldn't come all the way if you didn't believe that.

I'll visit your home on an auspicious day.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll come talk to your parents.

Here you go, ma'am.

Thanks.

I'll make sure your daughter passes the exam, ma'am.

She has a beautiful smile.

I have to call my wife. She's been doing some pujas since morning.

-Listen... -Yes?

My birth star is 'Mula'.

So what?

-I can't be happy for more than 5 minutes. -Hello. Did she approve? Hello?

What happened now?

If I have to get married,

-Hello?

they should know that Vaishnavi is Eira's mom.

-Hello, dear. Did she approve?

Nothing worked out yet. Continue the pujas.

This is not good for me.

Tablets for diabetes, blood pressure and digestion.

All set. We have all the tablets.

-I also have a doctor on call for safety. -You're God!

Hey, we're so tense we're forgetting about the time.

Tell them before they're here.

Everything is ready. We have all their favorite items.

I need to tell you 3 things before they're here.

-3 new qualities?! -Please listen!

Go on.

I'm anti-dowry. Don't bring it up.

Dowry for you?

No hopes. Go on.

Don't insist that the wedding should take place at a certain place.

[Speaking Korean]

Korean!

Speak in Telugu.

-I'm saying be glad you're getting married. -Be clear.

What's the last one?

Last...

Eira's mother's name is...

Vaishnavi.

Nice.

Why? Why Vaishnavi?

What's with you and this name, man?

Just because her name is the same as your first lover,

don't tell her your love story.

She'll run away from the wedding venue.

I didn't expect them to react like this at all.

Positive parents.

You don't get what I'm saying.

He told you about the name, so that you don't mention the love story with them.

Why the hell would we do that?

Sister, what the hell!

We can't enjoy the wedding anyway because we know the truth.

They didn't understand the truth completely.

At least let them enjoy the wedding.

Dear... All the food items turned out delicious today.

Don't tell me they are Korean recipes.

Are you going to joke among yourselves only?

Share the fun with us.

Sorry. We didn't hear the door bell ring.

We didn't ring the door bell, sir.

We heard you talking and walked in.

Very few people enter our house without ringing the door bell.

Like him, Satya,

her husband...

We have a lovely relationship with all of them.

What can we consider you?

Tell us.

Consider us your family from now on.

Thank you.

Please come.

I don't get what's happening.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

Hey, Hi! -Hi

How are you? -Fine.

How is Baby Health? -Its good.

Yeah, he's finally happy.

I don't know, man. I still can't believe this is happening.

Shut up! Can't you say one good thing?

Are you for real, man?

-Why? -Look over there.

Who is he?

That's his classmate Shiva from his past.

Oh!

Ugh! He gives me more pain than the baby.

-What do we do now? -No idea.

He seems happy. Go break the bubble.

You....!

Siddhu...

Look at the guy sitting in the first row.

Give it.

-Hold on a minute. -What?

-I forgot to place these. -Oh, yeah.

Take it.

I should manage him somehow.

Shiva, whatever it is, we'll talk later.

Please.

I came to congratulate you. Congrats!

Didn't you come to tell the truth?

Once I made a mistake by lying.

I'll correct that hiding the truth now.

Sorry, ma'am.

Exams are fast approaching, I couldn't skip class.

Why did you call me?

What's this, ma'am?

Who does this belong to? The name is same as mine.

Does it not belong to you?

If that's not you,

where did your mother get this from?

So, the Santa Claus who sent me gifts when I was a child is

Siddharth.

Do you know for how many years I tried to figure out what your name was?

And finally, here you are.

I am extremely happy.

For meeting you and knowing you better.

But you were probably worry. Isn't it?

That if I knew the truth I wouldn't let Eira marry you.

Yes, you better worry.

I am open-minded,

but not to this extreme.

You were in love with me,

and now you want to marry my daughter.

I don't agree.

I will talk to Eira.

I will make her understand.

Hope you understand what I mean.

Thank you.

How did the earrings you gave me end up with my mom?

Instead of telling mom about us the day you met her,

why did you use your sister's baby shower as an excuse?

The girl you loved when you were a kid is my mom?!

All of you cheated me.

Eira, it's not like that.

You have nothing to say, is it?

What would one say in such a situation anyway?

One cannot expect this, can they?

She's not laughing out of anger, is she?

I'm serious, sir.

Who would expect this?

Even if you told someone, nobody would believe it.

I should've told you before itself.

I know how tough it is for you.

It's okay.

But...

I have a doubt.

You don't have feelings for her anymore, I hope.

Not at all.

That was childhood.

-You've moved on, right? -That's right.

Alright then.

It's a little difficult.

But I'll convince my mom somehow.

Maybe that is how Gen Z kids are.

My head was going to explode.

I need some coffee. Some coffee?

Yeah, double strong.

I just want strong. But make it 2 cups.

-Alright. Done. -I hope she doesn't mess up the coffee.

-Are you okay? -Yeah.

Actually, it was our fault.

We should've realized it when the 5 qualities matched.

What 5 qualities?

Didn't you tell her?

It never came up.

Simple, Eira. The girl has to be kind.

She should have a lot of friends.

'Are you friends with everyone in the college?'

Spread positivity.

Shouldn't be impressed by chocolates.

'Will you be impressed by chocolates?'

Last and final. Unlike my wife, she should speak only with her eyes,

He didn't want to get married till he found someone with these qualities.

We thought we would never find such a girl.

Even after we found you, we didn't expect you to be her daughter.

Am I right?

So, you loved me because I'm like my mother?

Just those qualities.

If I didn't have those 5 qualities, you wouldn't have considered me.

-That was just initially. -The initial phase is important, sir.

I'm a fool.

Do you even know how I convinced my mom for our marriage?

I told her you're nothing like my dad.

I'm nothing like my mom.

Now I know that it's the biggest lie.

When you spilled coffee on me, I got pissed.

I was just not comfortable getting pissed at a stranger.

And I don't have tons of friends.

You know that quite well.

No matter how many names Sita has,

all the qualities were born from within her.

But I've adapted others' qualities and called them my own.

It's not one and the same.

So, the reason I had for loving you turned out to be false.

The reason you had for loving me is also false.

-Eira! -Eira, stop! Please!

Eira, listen to me. When a bigger reason couldn't separate you earlier,

everything else doesn't matter.

Ask him if he can consider me without those 5 qualities.

I won't cross the main gate.

-Eira! -She's leaving, dude! Stop her!

If you let her go because of your stupid 5 qualities, you're the biggest loser.

Don't call those qualities stupid!

Did I misunderstood this whole thing?

Was all the fault mine?

Did I really believe something that wasn’t true…?

Did my loneliness meet yours?

Did you think we would stay together…?

Once again, I’m ending up all alone…

Did I express my feelings first?

Weren't you the one who came close and slipped away?

Did I say that I want to part ways?

You're the one walking away from me

Dear Eira... Dear Eira... I'm so sorry it's all my fault

Dear Eira... Dear Eira... How do I utter these words of farewell?

Come on! I get that you're over her.

Doesn't mean you ignore the plant.

I do value the plant.

That is why it's still in our house.

Sister, please sit up.

What's this plant's life?

A year at maximum.

What about the leaves?

I see where you are taking this conversation.

What's your problem?

If she doesn't have these 5 qualities, suddenly you don't like her?

Siddhu...

I'll ask you something. Be honest.

You saw these 5 qualities in Vaishnavi, right?

These qualities that you once liked in Vaishnavi,

does she still have them?

No.

She sent men to hit you when she found out that you love Eira.

Is that kindness?

I didn't see any of her friends at the engagement.

Does she even have any friends currently?

Listen, Siddhu...

The people who come into our lives are like these leaves.

No two leaves are the same.

No two people are the same.

They're different from when you first see them.

Siddhu...

Qualities keep changing according to the situations.

They're good for liking someone.

But not for loving someone or getting married to them.

-Siddhu... -Sister!

What happened?

Careful.

-Doctor, she is in labor. -I'm stuck in traffic because of rain.

Please, doctor.

Sister!

-You'll be okay, dear. -Wait for 10 minutes.

Hang in there.

-Where's Dr. Sanjay? -That way.

Hang in there, dear.

You can't watch this. Wait outside.

I'll take care. Go.

Take care. See you.

Yeah, everything went fine.

Thank you, doctor.

Your baby girl is here.

Shall I go get Eira as well?

Go.

Siddharth...

Why are you doing this again?

Ma'am, I had 2 regrets in life.

I wanted to rejoin college.

I wanted to enjoy that life again.

It's impossible now.

Second regret.

I wanted to meet you.

Confess my love for you.

I did meet you, ma'am.

I also had the chance to confess my love and undo that regret.

But I can't.

Because...

I was never really in love with you.

I'm not saying this because this is how you'd be convinced.

Honestly, I never loved you.

If I would've, just in case,

why would I go around looking for a girl like you?

I would've asked for your hand in marriage only.

Like I'm asking for Eira's now.

I searched for Shiva out of anger.

I could've easily searched for the girl I loved.

But I didn't.

Which means,

I didn't love you.

There's a fine line between love and admiration.

The difference between the two...

is misunderstood by many even at this age.

I couldn't have understood at that age.

Even though many people told me otherwise,

I believed it was love.

I admired you.

So much so that...

searching for those 5 qualities which even you don't have anymore,

Craving for those 5 qualities,

I didn't even stop Eira from leaving.

Now let me say this.

No matter what anyone says or thinks,

I'm in love with Eira.

And I want to marry her only.

I'll talk to her and make her understand that.

Now I just hope that you understand.

Thanks, ma'am.

-Don't copy, okay? -Okay, sir.

-You can start writing. -Yes, sir.

-When did you come? -Give me 2 minutes.

What you said the other day is true.

I reached out to you because of those 5 qualities.

I liked you because of those 5 qualities.

But what I realized much later is that...

even though I liked you because you're like your mother,

I stayed back for you only.

I like being closer to you.

When I can't go away from you,

that's love for me.

I came back for you.

I stayed back for you.

I lied for you.

I fought for you.

I loved you just the way you are.

I wanted to give these to the woman I love.

Now whether she loves me or not,

I want her to keep this.

Siddharth!

Are you at the airport?

I'm just entering.

Did you talk to her?

I said what I had to. Now the ball is in her court.

-Who would say no to you? -But that's why...

-Hello? -Sorry, sorry.

Are you late for your flight?

Can you cancel?

Sorry. Are you upset?

I saw the anger on your face.

It's okay to get angry for such things, Siddharth.

I'm just realizing, ma'am.

I told you it was just a childhood thing.

But I thought you said all that to win Eira.

After you spoke and left, I read these again.

I broke into a smile.

And then I developed faith in you.

One of the letters is like a small kid's confession to a beautiful heroine.

One more letter feels like a friendship band to a friend.

There are 'All the Best' wishes before an exam.

Some of them are innocent.

Some of them are very admirable.

Those earrings felt like a gift to one's mom.

You wrote things at that age, assuming it's love.

I also read them at that age, assuming it's love.

But then I thought about it and understood your side.

You're aged, so...

Sorry.

You're matured, so, you understood.

But Eira is stubborn.

She is. But she's also a nice girl.

In fact, she only sent me here.

That is why I also came.

I am here now. You should've finished the exam.

I left the exam midway. But I didn't fail to give my exam.

Satya sir is filling in.

Focus.

You're definitely failing.

Mother-in-law...

Can you get me some coffee, please?

Hello. Yes, tell me.

It's me. Vaishnavi.

We don't delete our contacts. Please tell me.

Let's have the wedding at the intended time.

We don't believe you. Forget it.

There will be no changes this time.

-Doctor is calling you. -Okay.

We're looking for matches.

In fact, we have a few good ones from Korea.

Please don't say that. I'll give dowry if you'd like that.

Dowry? What do you think of us?

I don't mean it like that.

We'll agree for 50 lakhs.

Don't worry about it. I'm ready.
