[Carnatic music with

"Your face bloomed..."

"Your face bloomed,

your lips smiled"

"Your face bloomed,

your lips smiled"

"The sweet song is of

my enchanting flute player"

"The one eager for the

battle of love has come"

"The one eager for the

battle of love has come"

"The one eager for the

battle of love has come"

"Come quickly,

quickly, oh beautiful one"

Are you the one who sent

me the email from America?

Yes.

Are you here from such a

distance just to learn music?

Yes.

Did you learn this

somewhere else before?

I studied Carnatic

music and learned

a few instruments

until I was fourteen.

Later, in America, I

trained in Western music.

Where were you

taught Carnatic music?

My grandmother taught me.

Grandmother?

You mean lullabies and hymns?

With lullabies, I learnt

music professionally.

What's your grandmother's name?

Her name is Kamakshi

Shankara Murthy!

What?

Kanchipuram Kamakshi

Shankara Murthy!

Yes!

I was among those who wanted to

learn music from

her in those days.

But we weren’t that lucky.

Watching her live

felt like witnessing

the goddess of

music in human form.

I’m her student as well, though

in a different way than you.

You're a lucky man, Varun.

True!

I'm lucky.

Might I have the honor

of being your student?

What more can I teach you when

you’ve already been her student?

Don't say that.

Your help is crucial for the

experiments I want to perform.

I aim to develop my

private music album

in a way that’s never

been done before.

I want to understand from

you what aspects need extra

attention when combining

classical and Western music.

I need an answer from you.

I request you to

be my mentor, sir.

Definitely, Varun.

I present this as my sincere

offering to Ms. Kamakshi.

A warm welcome to Meghana, who

joins me on this

journey into nature.

Look Meghana!

In this pure nature...

Look Meghana!

Can you guess which

living being brings

pollution into this

otherwise pure nature?

It's you!

I mean, it's human.

It's the one that

exists within you.

It’s clear that my words

are leaving you stunned.

But this is the truth.

Yes.

We are the ones who wreak

havoc on the environment.

It’s the anger within us.

Meghana!

Yoga and meditation are paths

to taming the anger within us.

To begin, focus needs

to be strengthened.

Take a deep breath,

slowly close your

eyes, and focus

exclusively on your breath.

Breathe in fully, and

then exhale completely.

Meghana!

You’ve conquered your breath.

It’s time to prepare

your mind for meditation.

Beware, negative

energies will attempt

to disturb your focus

during meditation.

But you must remain in

meditation, no matter what.

It’s a deep sin.

There you go!

You shouldn’t look

at me with one eye.

It's also a sin.

Meghana!

Perform it with

deep concentration.

Meghana!

Breath! Focus!

Breath! Focus!

Breath! Focus!

Breath! Focus!

Breath! Focus!

Breath! Tell her!

He'll be dead.

Do you have any sense?

There’s a large sign

that says, Do not touch.

Can't you see?

Eyes alone are not enough, you

must know how to

observe with them.

How irresponsible!

And you look

educated unfortunately!

Who is the manager?

Manager!

Yes!

How can you accommodate

people like them?

Who is your owner?

Dear, he is the owner.

So what?

If he’s the owner...

How can he be so careless

with such valuable instruments?

These elements define the

essence of an extraordinary art.

This is a priceless

part of tradition.

This represents

a musical custom.

We should...

We should...

We should respect them.

Exactly!

It’s our role to ensure

their preservation.

I got caught!

Run!

Excuse me, madam!

Excuse me!

This is your responsibility too.

It means...

I’m not the only one

responsible, we all are.

Hello!

Who will fix it?

You own such a huge bungalow...

Can’t you fix a tiny string?

Hi, brother!

Sing a song, brother!

He’s clueless, even about

how to hold the instrument.

Will having instruments alone

turn him into a

professional singer?

He's crazy!

Oh Megh...

Goodness!

His singing could scare

off the wildlife in this forest.

"A cloud inquired."

"Your melody has reached me."

"There is no

stillness to be found,"

"She just flows."

"The relentless race

knows no cease,"

"She is like a flowing river."

"A cloud raga, a melody,"

"A love song showering

upon the earth."

"No one can halt it,

weariness knows no claim,"

"she played with waves."

"A cloud inquired."

"Your melody has reached me."

Thank you!

Hi!

I'm Meghana!

I should apologize to you before

I even begin to

introduce myself.

What?

For judging your voice earlier.

Really?

Is it common for

women to say sorry too?

We don’t apologize just

because sarcasm stings.

It was foolish of me

to say sorry to you.

Good morning!

A cake for me.

There's no space.

Only your mouth is empty.

You can see, right?

Can't you help me?

Your demand for help is

unlike anything

I’ve seen before.

Have you journeyed

across the globe?

This is not such a big favor

that I should

have to request it.

Really?

So, this

bungalow

is yours, but what

about the estate?

Is that yours too?

Do you stay here regularly?

Is this bungalow your home?

Doesn't living alone

get dull sometimes?

The estate manager is now here.

To meet you.

Just a second!

Excuse me, Owner!

You didn't answer my

question that do you stay here?

Is this your house?

Uncle!

Yes?

I have to go see this waterfall!

There’s no guide

available today, dear.

I can’t let you go alone.

Go tomorrow.

Uncle!

I’m going to visit

the waterfalls.

I have a guide now.

I'll get going, uncle.

Does this seem like

a local route bus?

You told me you were heading

to the waterfalls, didn’t you?

That's why!

Ask at the reception.

Uncle will set up a

guide and a vehicle.

It’s not enough to

just have a board in the

bungalow declaring

that the customer is God.

How can you not bring me along

when I, the

goddess, am asking?

Is there any better

guide than you,

who has traveled

the whole world?

Tell me, owner.

Why did you stop here?

There's nothing here.

You said waterfall?!

There's only water here.

Where is the waterfall?

Even Hyderabad has

waterfalls like these.

So I had to come

here just for this?

It doesn’t match what

I saw in the picture.

Hello, owner!

Why the silent exit?

Why do you get shy so easily?

Do you get shy around girls?

Wait, did you bring

me to see waterfalls,

or is there something

more going on?

I didn’t bring you, you

decided to trail behind me.

But you’re not like that.

You don't know, Meghana.

You should never trust boys

who say nothing

but keep grinning.

Yes. You shouldn't.

Varun!

The water may be chilly.

Can you check and tell me?

No!

Since you’re coming, I’ve made

sure there’s hot

water waiting for you.

Thanks!

I asked you...

It’s really cold water.

Do one thing!

I’ll count up to three.

Push me!

One!

Two!

Three!

No, no, no, no.

I'll go.

Why did you push me?

Me?

You pushed me.

"Chattering voices

bubble like a stream"

"Opening doors

to dreams unseen."

"Tiny hopes begin to dance"

"Fluttering high

in a joyful trance."

"Isn't this flight

a destiny bright?"

"It’s like the heart’s dancing,

unable to stay in place."

"Smiles roll in gently,

just like sea waves."

Have you ever witnessed

someone eloping?

Eloping?

Who?

Where?

Where exactly is it happening?

Do you want to see?

Yes, yes, yes!

Your friends?

What's the issue?

Money?

Is the girl from a

rich background,

and the boy from a poor one?

It’s like this in

every movie, right?

Please!

Can you stay silent

for just a moment?

Can you stay silent

for just a moment?

I won't talk.

Did they tell you

where they'd come?

Are we the ones picking them up?

Or will they get to the

place on their own?

Sorry! Sorry! sorry!

Is this the spot?

Did they tell you

they’d be here?

But there's no one here.

Maybe they were caught.

Call them!

Call them!

Not there!

Look here!

Are you noticing how the air...

is drifting the clouds away?

"Swaying gently..."

"In a dreamy tide"

"Drifting where..."

"The breezes glide."

"In this drizzle, soft and new,

What is real? What is true?"

"Clouds embrace

the winds so tight"

"Whispers dance

in fading light."

"Oh, what a wonder

this evening holds!"

"Chattering voices

bubble like a stream"

"Opening doors

to dreams unseen."

"Tiny hopes begin to dance"

"Fluttering high

in a joyful trance."

Hello Meghana!

Why do you keep calling me?

Actually...

Isn’t it obvious that I don’t

want to answer your calls?

I think...

I don't want to talk to you.

I don't care what you think.

Because I don't think I

have anything to do with you.

Stop calling me, Aditya.

We're just colleagues.

Don't make me take

extreme decisions.

Think? My foot!

Meghana!

Is there any problem?

Yes.

It’s like problems and

I were born together.

What is it, Varun?

What are you doing?

You said that ...

problems and you

were born together.

That’s the reason

I locked them up.

Keep that beautiful

smile going, always.

Soon, all your

worries will be gone.

It's cold here.

Shall we go in?

I don’t feel like going

in at the moment.

How about we stay

here a little longer?

You don't seem

fine with yourself.

Is there any problem?

I'm the owner of this estate.

Just tell me.

I’ll sort it out in a flash.

Being impulsive is my

greatest shortcoming.

Yesterday too...

I misjudged your singing.

It all feels kind of

stupid in hindsight.

A short while ago,

before I arrived.

A guy came to talk to my

father about matches for me...

But I assumed he was coming to

meet me and I

really told him off.

My problem is my

impulsive decision making.

That call was a consequence

of one of my bad decisions.

Forget about me!

Tell me about you.

You're singing so well.

Where did you learn?

My grandmother.

Grandmother?

Great, Varun.

Why is someone with your

level of talent in

a place like this?

Your parents must

be really proud of you.

This is not the topic.

Tell me your story.

You tell me.

You!

You tell me.

Ladies first!

Feminism?

Don't act smart!

You tell me.

You start!

I'll also tell you.

I studied in the US.

My father's dream

is for me to work

in the US for a while,

gain experience...

And then return to India to

help him with the business.

But...

I have my dreams.

Music!

During my time there, I

balanced studying, working,

and learning Western music.

I want to create music.

That's why, I

want to learn

from Carnatic

legendary singer...

Vidvan Prince Ramvarma...

One mail from him, and I

was on the next flight to India.

"Worship the seven beautiful

musical notes, oh mind."

"Worship the seven beautiful

musical notes, oh mind."

"Worship the seven beautiful

musical notes, oh mind."

"In the sacred Gayatri hymn, in

the core of the sacred Gayatri."

"Let's shine in the minds of the

divine beings and become kings."

"Worship the seven

beautiful musical notes, "

"Worship the beautiful

ones, oh mind..."

I've taught you

everything I know.

No, no.

You learned.

Now you're your limit.

One thing you

should never forget.

It’s only when we

harmonize with nature...

that the music

flows from within.

Music is a truly

beautiful form of art.

These are a few of the rare

melodies sung by

your grandmother.

They have remained

safe with me till now.

It’s your duty from

this point onwards.

These will light your journey.

Varun!

Mom!

Where is dad?

Varun!

My son!

What a great surprise!

Shall I tell you the truth?

You won't believe me.

I felt your absence more

than even your mom.

Why do you make a comparison

between your love

for him and me?

Come!

Let's have breakfast.

Come on!

How is the journey?

Good, dad.

I quit my job and came here.

Oh!

Interesting!

What's next?

What are you up to today?

Will meet Hari, dad.

In sometime.

Oh yeah!

He’s managing a startup, right?

He used to.

It’s no longer going.

Okay.

You relax!

You must be tired

from jet lag, right?

We'll catch up in the evening.

Bye!

What's with you, Varun?

What happened?

Nothing, mom.

I'm your mother.

You can fool me with lies,

but not keep the truth hidden.

Yes, mom.

Telling you was

simple, but telling dad

why I’m here in India

really scares me.

I don’t even know

where to start with him.

I’m unsure how

he’ll handle the news.

Got it.

Try to have that

conversation with

your dad sooner

rather than later.

Your dad has high hopes for you.

I know, mom.

That's my fear too.

I’ll choose the right

moment to open up to him.

Okay.

Meghana! Meghana! Just a minute!

Come!

Mother, that's a sacred mark.

Not a tattoo.

I know.

You took leave from

work on Friday, didn’t you?

Why do you keep asking

me this again and again?

Did you arrange any match...

It's not that.

Your aunt is organizing Rukmini

Kalyanam at her house on Friday.

They say that those

who listen to that

story find themselves

married quickly.

Then, whose story

did Rukmini Devi hear?

You shouldn't say that.

Then what else?

You say that

everything will fall into

place by listening

to Sundarakanda.

You say that listening

to Rukmini Devi’s

story causes one to

get married on the spot.

There should be limits.

Is it wrong to focus on

my daughter’s marriage?

Goodness, mom!

You’re constantly using

emotional manipulation.

My marriage is

important for you, right?

Yes.

Excuse me!

Will you marry me?

Goodness!

Goodness!

A fruit vendor… my son-in-law?

No! Never!

Are you going to let

me go to the office now?

Or do you think I

should marry him?

Not him! Just go to the office.

Hey! Bro!

Chill bro! Chill! Chill!

Girl!

Please, girl!

I’ve hit such a low point, I’m

getting by on tomatoes alone.

Please give in

cash, if possible,

to keep things simple tax-wise.

Please!

Give me at least

five hundred rupees.

She will!

What is this?

Wait!

One second!

Hello Swiggy bro!

Where are you?

Under a tree?

Left side?

Hey bro!

Come on! Come on!

Come on, I say.

Thank you, bro!

I’ll drop a tip your

way using PhonePe.

Did you see, madam?

Chicken Biryani!

High Protein!

Bloody Vegetables!

Hi, Meghana!

Hi, Aditya!

You're looking great!

Thank you!

Meghana!

I need a small help.

There’s a little glitch in

the deployment system.

I tried to resolve it

yesterday, but didn't succeed.

If you don't mind,

can you help me?

Okay.

And this one is for you.

What's with this?

Bribe?

Just like that!

Let's go! I'll help you.

Thank you!

Confirm!

So...

Cheers!

He wouldn’t even

share his scraps,

but he gave her a

flower from the garden.

He’s working on a big plan.

I’m getting a weird vibe.

Correct!

He says, Meghana,

you look great!

Wait!

Thirty years of

experience speaking here...

Every flirting situation

kicks off like this.

So, the guy who seemed

innocent is

starting to flirt now.

Yes.

This needs to keep going, not

stop in the middle

like my code does.

This should be our main project.

(Singing)

(Singing)

Let's burn it!

Let's burn it!

Let's burn it!

Let's burn it!

Sad songs don’t

go well with you.

You're an NRI.

So you'll say what you want.

Why are you having

vodka first thing today?

If someone who lost needs to get

a lift, then vodka’s

the way to go.

Don't lose hope, buddy.

I didn’t lose hope,

hope lost me.

When did you come?

What’s the

duration of your trip?

Came for good, dude.

So, you’re shifting from being

an employee to being the boss.

What else?

So, is your dad feeling

on top of the world?

Hari!

I want to make music my career.

That's why I'm here.

Say something, dude!

Life is not about

what you want to do,

It's about what's

the best you can do.

Philosophy?

Experience!

Just like you, I

started a software

company without

telling anyone at home.

At the end of the day, I

ended up shutting down

the company and taking

money from my father-in-law.

From that point

on, my father has

considered me a

failed investment.

Maybe he is right.

Don't talk like a fool.

Even he said the same.

You're living to

please others, even if it

breaks you — just

because they expect it.

That's what you're

saying, right?

What if there’s no

joy in living that way?

What if that feeling becomes

too much for you to endure?

Should I just keep

going in the same

way and waste

my life in self-pity?

Just relax!

If your father had

stepped in and

given you the time you needed...

Things would have

gone another way.

But they're not, Varun.

Things are not different here.

True, things will

not be different.

We should make the difference.

One failure is enough

to turn things around.

I’ve got to try, at least

for that, right, drummer?

Move your hand.

What now?

You want to become

AR Rahman immediately?

Is that it?

Then go ahead!

What do you want

me to do for it?

You know what?

Our college's best band is ours.

Your drums and my violin?

That’s a power combo, right?

Yes.

Did you remember?

Yes.

They used to compliment us both

every time they

came to our events.

Hey! No!

Please listen to me.

It's not that...

That scenario in your

head isn't going to play out.

Your uncle has a

music company, right?

They work with musicians, right?

Why do you think

it can’t happen?

All you have to do is

tell him, and it’ll happen.

He considers me a total failure.

I won't talk to him.

Just because he thinks so,

does it make you a failure?

Try saying that to the cricket

team that loses in the finals.

It’ll inspire them.

You're a best drummer, dude.

For you, nothing is

out of the question.

Okay.

I’ll organise a meeting

and update you.

Thank you, drummer.

Let's jam in the evening.

It’s been ages since I

got to listen to your drums.

He won't listen to me.

Sir, butter?

He already gave me.

Who puts butter on a pizza?

Leave!

What’s with the shyness?

All this shyness… and

this rose… they’re for Pooja.

She was dating Raja, right?

Not anymore. They

broke up last Saturday.

It's Monday today.

Fresh start!

They ended things

in just three months?

Yes.

Her relationship

status is now single.

That's why I want to mingle.

Are you confident that

she won’t leave you?

No!

It’s fine, even if the

breakup happens.

A few days in a

relationship is enough for me.

In our office,

relationships come

and go as fast as desk changes.

Why don’t you just find a

kind girl and settle down?

A person like you,

asking God for something.

And God's response was that all

the girls around

you are wonderful.

Poor him!

He later found out that...

the Earth is round,

and good, and

girls won't always

fall in one line.

There's nothing like that.

Just see Meghana!

She's such a kind girl.

Is there at least one rumour

about her going

around in the office?

She's incredibly graceful.

It’s a stroke of luck

to find a girl like her.

Goodness!

Meghana?

It's as if proposing

to her or committing

to the work are

one and the same.

She’s a work machine

who’s all about work.

Leave me!

I'll go and mingle!

All the best!

Did you observe how he spends

more time analyzing

you than the data?

Hey!

Do you want to

say something else?

There's a doubt

in the project...

Give me ten

minutes, I’ll be there.

Thank you!

Both are innocent.

Sit down.

Really?

Hi uncle!

Come, sit down.

How are you, uncle?

Yes.

He is Varun, my friend.

Hello sir.

I remember him.

You were the lead singer in

your college band, am I right?

Yes.

You're the son of

Mr. Mahendra, right?

Yes, uncle.

Now, he’s not just singing, but

also composing his own music.

He’s aiming to produce his

own independent albums.

Did you come up

with any compositions?

Many, uncle.

Let him listen.

He composed it in the

style of Ilayaraja, didn’t he?

Proud of you!

Uncle, listen to the next track.

This sounds a lot like

A.R. Rahman’s work.

It's exactly the same.

He's talented, uncle.

Wait!

Sir!

Varun!

Having been in the music field

for 25 years, I

can tell you this.

I didn’t join the music

industry just for the paycheck.

I'm completely

in love with music.

No one in my family has ever

been in this field before me.

I began this company with

pure passion,

regardless of that.

Throughout my

career, I’ve worked

with many different

music artists.

While I can’t say

everything was miraculous,

I’ve produced a lot

of great cassettes.

I’ve opened the doors of

this industry to many people.

Eventually,

everyone

fell into the routine.

If it's made in this

way, it’ll be a hit, if

it's made like this,

it’ll get more listeners.

This led to our

distancing from music.

We have no choice but to live

with it now, whether

we like it or not.

I’m not claiming that anyone

is at fault or in

the right here.

I don’t know why this

doesn’t feel fulfilling.

Hari!

Uncle!

Didn’t you say

that it’s like the

music of Ilayaraja

and A.R. Rahman?

What makes your music stand out

when their music

is already available?

Of course, I’m not passing

any judgment on your music.

I’m sharing what I

expect from my musicians.

The reason I’m bringing

this up is because I

saw something special

in you during college.

Now, make it a flame.

But remember one thing.

You must create music.

Don't make it.

By the way, your

father isn’t

interested in the arts, right?

Did you share

with him that you’re

planning to build

a career in music?

I got it.

What’s missing

in your face... is

the very thing

your music lacked.

It’s only art if you can truly

own it... if it bears your mark.

Come up with something which

touches people's

hearts, not their ears.

Definitely, sir.

Welcome, Varun.

Please, come.

Hi!

Hi!

Okay, everyone.

Meeting is over. Thank

you very much for coming.

Varun!

For thirty years, I

took responsibility

for preserving his

respect and honor.

I remained faithful to her

principles and

sense of discipline.

I was just granted a tea

estate by your grandpa.

Not only did I

grow the tea estate,

but I also introduced a

new division to the company.

No one told you it was

too risky to attempt?

Why not?

I’ve never let people like that

distract me or slow me down.

That’s the

driving force

behind the company I’ve built.

I don't have time for losers.

Great, dad.

I’m honored to be

Shankaram Murti’s

son and the living

legacy of his dreams.

Not only have you

been an exceptional son,

but you’ve also become

a wonderful father.

I hope so.

This great father, too, has

aspirations yet to be realized.

Only you can fulfill them.

What's that, dad?

As my son and the rightful

heir to Mahendra Industries,

it is now your turn

to take on the mantle

of CEO and lead

our company forward.

Dad!

Business is not anywhere

near my world, dad.

Then what's your world, Varun?

I want to make music my career.

What nonsense, Varun?

I never imagined

you’d act this way.

Take care of the

business, and in

your free time, let

music be your escape.

Who is going to stop you?

Don't waste your

time on silly things.

No, dad.

I wish to make music the

focus of my entire existence.

Dedi...

Three thousand members

are part of our company.

Even they also like

music so called art.

Will they abandon their

work for the sake of that?

They know what living

practically is all about.

That’s why they’re dedicated to

earning money and

doing so with love.

Yes, dad.

I'm not denying it.

These jobs might

be a way for them to

address their needs

and responsibilities.

It's possible they're happy too.

That inability to

follow their passion

will stay with them

throughout their life.

This is something

they won’t even

be able to confide

in their family about.

But I'm your son, dad.

You gave me everything.

You fulfilled all my requests.

You allowed me to

go wherever I wanted.

What good is the empire

you’ve mentioned if I’m

unable to follow my passion

despite having everything?

Art is an entertainment, Varun.

It's not a career.

Use your money to buy art.

An art career will

leave you broke,

unsuccessful, and unable

to seek money from me.

Dad!

The company,

the money...

And everything

that comes with it

might offer you

status and luxury.

No matter how much money

we make or what we do...

After death, we

are recognised as

honoured deceased,

not as wealthy people.

You're discussing what

happens after we pass away...

But I'm talking about

how to live before that.

When you no longer

have these privileges and

financial security,

you’ll know what I mean.

Walk out of my life right

now and live as you wish.

I don’t agree with you wasting

my money on senseless things.

I won’t waste my

energy talking to

someone who is

stuck in a dream world.

Get out!

Get out!

Art is an entertainment, Varun.

It's not a career.

Use your money to buy art.

An art career will

leave you broke,

unsuccessful, and unable

to seek money from me.

Grandma, can I lift this veena?

During the Sita Swayamvar...

Janakamaharaju shows

Rama's Shivadhanassu,

smiles, and utters these words.

Even gods, Yakshas,

Kinnaras, and Kimpurushas made

their attempt to lift it,

but they couldn’t, Rama.

Though many have tried,

none have truly lifted it, Rama.

Okay.

Before a shadow of doubt

crossed Rama’s mind...

Vishwamitra, who

had been watching,

said this. See this

Shivadhanassu.

That's it!

Rama sets his eyes on it and

expresses his intent to lift it.

Vishwamitra accepted for it.

Really?

How did Rama manage it

when so many others couldn’t?

That's the point.

If Vishwamitra had doubted him,

saying that no

one else could do it

and he was only human, Rama

might not have gone forward.

What truly sets humans

apart is the

strength of their will.

When we have that, the

impossible becomes possible.

And what was the result of

Rama lifting the Shivadhanassu?

Rama picked

it up,

steadied it in the center,

drew the string across

and broke the mighty bow.

Did you see?

At least believe

me now, Meghana.

Aditya’s actions

have been aimed at

getting a moment to

talk and sit with you.

So what?

Grow up!

You fool!

He likes you.

He couldn’t figure

out how to say it,

so he’s been

following you around.

You still don't

understand what I mean.

Aditya is not like that.

However, he works

at a slow pace.

Since you're all slower than

him, he's seeking my assistance.

That's it!

You fool!

How dare you say that?

I’m telling you directly,

but you’re not getting it.

We need to gather you

up and create confusion.

According to our investigation,

Aditya is the black sheep.

He is seeking your help

whenever necessary.

Out of all the people,

his attention is on you.

Exactly!

He’ll tag along for lunch

even if you don’t ask him to.

But the moment we

ask him to a party,

he starts making lame excuses

about checking with his parents.

Correct!

But he didn’t feel the need

to get his parents’ permission

to come to you for help

and spend time with you.

Goodness!

Watching this soap opera

every day is impossible for us.

If you delay your

decision, he’ll

keep repeating

that doubt forever.

You’ll have to explain coding

to him over and over again.

Aditya is a good

guy but a coward.

Try to understand.

Lady!

We beg of you!

Decide on something. Please!

Please! Please! Please!

Tell me.

The band is missing a

vocalist for Friday

night’s show.

What happened to Justin?

He says that he's very

busy and can't make it.

Why would he say

that at this moment?

Please do something about it.

How will get a singer now...

I got one.

I'll call you later.

Varun!

Didn't uncle tell you that

true music touches the heart?

Yes. He said that.

The only way to

know if it’s resonating

with them is by

singing for them, right?

Are you listening?

I'm listening.

I know a place.

Are you

listening?

yes

You’ll see business

folks, young people, and

the working crowd

all coming to that spot.

If you impress them with

your singing, you’re in.

Do you think I’m someone

who’s famous in the music world?

Why would they bother

coming to hear my music?

I'll take care of

that. Leave it to me.

You’ll perform like Shankara

Sastri from Shankarabharanam,

and they'll dance like

Kamal Hasan. Amazing!

They'll cheer for you.

What do you mean?

Where is it?

Why do you need that?

Will you sing or not?

Okay.

I'll sing.

Rukmini Kalyanam.

This is not like

every other ritual.

God has said that people who

listen, read, or

perform the parayana

will find marriage,

whether they've

not married yet or

have just reached the age to

marry, regardless

of their gender.

You’re already overdue

for getting married.

You're behind schedule

for the ritual too?

You're attending it.

You could’ve chosen

a saree to wear, right?

Does not wearing a saree

mean the ritual won’t happen?

Your father will

find a partner for

everyone, but not for

you, because of this.

Had you corrected

her when she dressed

like a man, she might

not be like this now.

Will you sit now?

Or do you want a chair?

Mother!

Yes.

Am I looking good?

You're looking good.

Where have you

been all this time?

I put my son to bed and came.

Come quickly, your

mom is bugging me.

Ma'am!

Guru!

Won’t you let me

finish what I’m saying?

Goodness!

You can, Guru.

This stands as strong

proof that God will go

to great lengths for the

sake of His devotees.

One day, Rukmini, the

elder brother of Rukmini Devi,

decides to perform

Rukmini Devi's

wedding with his

friend Shishupala.

But Rukmini Devi absolutely

does not like that wedding.

From her childhood,

Rukmini Devi had been living,

dreaming and imagining only

Sri Krishna as her husband.

Unable to accept the

proposed marriage...

Rukmini Devi wrote

a heartfelt letter

to Sri Krishna with

her own hands.

That letter is an

essential part of the ritual.

Reportedly, Lord

Krishna spoke these words

to the person who

offered him that letter.

Why did she write a letter?

I listened so much about her.

I intended to get

married to her.

I lost so many nights

of sleep over her.

Do you think

someone who loves us

deeply without

us even realizing it—

will ever come into our life?

And if he doesn’t… then

we’ll go find him ourselves.

If your mom hears

this, she’ll freak out.

Let me just go to her

once and come back.

What is meant by Bhakti?

To surrender.

Bhakti is nothing

more than telling

God, I belong to

no one else but You.

Feeling drowsy?

I need to talk to you

about something.

I'll tell you only if

you want to listen.

The moment your father brings up

marriage, you go

completely silent.

Your dad wants me

to ask you about it.

You're shouting at me.

Mom!

Listen!

Didn’t you agree

to listen to me?

You told me you’d

listen, so follow through.

Your dad owns a marriage bureau

that helps everyone

find a spouse.

You're a daughter of him.

What will he tell those

who ask why his daughter

is still unmarried, even

though she’s old enough?

Wait!

This is the best match.

Just look at it.

Mother!

I'll get married.

I don’t want to live like

Mother Teresa, never

marrying and focusing

solely on helping others.

After only a ten-minute

conversation,

I can’t possibly

decide on the spot.

I should like that

person, right?

Do you like someone?

Are you in love?

Mom!

It's not like that.

I'm telling you.

That's it!

I’ve held onto this picture

safely for a whole week.

Do you know why?

I intended to show

you this picture after

you listened to the

Rukmini Kalyanam.

Just look at it.

Maybe he's the same person.

There's nothing like that.

I'm just telling you.

God, may her marriage

happen quickly.

Then I'll do this ritual again.

Will anyone actually

come into my life for me?

Why does he need to come?

Rukmini Devi, even then,

was the first to

mention her love.

Thalaiva Rajinikanth also

mentioned that life is happier

when we marry someone who

loves us, not just

someone we love.

Hi!

Hi!

Did you see?

Hi!

Come!

Come, come.

Goodness!

I never knew air could

be this beautiful until now.

Just be quiet!

There's nothing.

Fine!

I’ll watch to see how

long you can hide this.

Okay.

Can you explain why you’re here?

We’ve got a party planned

for tomorrow evening.

You're also coming.

Give your story a

change in direction.

Because he's also coming.

This is a pub, right?

Then?

Did you expect

ThyagaRaja Gana Sabha?

It's not that.

I thought I was attending

a Katcheri, which is why

I came in a Kurta,

slippers, and with my violin.

Hey!

Singing doesn’t change,

whether it’s in a

pub or a bathroom.

The key is having the

determination to sing.

Give it to me.

Come!`

One Chicken Barbecue.

Am I looking okay?

Don't get nervous, baby.

Meghana!

You're looking great!

That’s something Aditya

should say, not you.

True!

Yeah!

I'm already tensed.

Stop!

Hey!

Relax!

Why is he still not here?

Is it a lover or a groom

they're preparing for?

Hey!

Genuine art cannot be denied.

Go ahead.

That's poetry, isn’t it?

Poem is also an

art, right? Let's go.

Let's go. I'm here.

Nothing will happen. Let's go.

It looks like they've been

waiting for us

for quite a while.

Hey! Hi!

They're coming.

Hi!

Hi!

Hi!

Ready?

Hi Meghana!

Hi!

All the best!

Aditya!

Yes.

Aditya!

I understood that you

have feelings for me.

I never thought I’d take the

step of proposing to anyone.

Aditya!

Will you marry me?

Yes!

Yes!

Meghana, what's wrong with you?

I'm so sorry.

I never viewed you

with that intention.

I didn’t think you’d be

the same as the rest.

I... I didn't expect

this from you.

I thought you're a mature woman.

My family won’t

approve of these things.

Getting married isn’t about

casually meeting in a pub,

offering flowers, and

deciding it among colleagues.

My parents should meet you.

Our parents should get

together and have

a conversation.

However, for us to get married,

we come from

different communities.

What's with you?

You told me a girl like

Meghana is one of a kind.

Yes.

But I didn’t say

I’m in love with her.

But you brought her flowers

every single day at work.

I gave her flowers

because she helped me.

So what?

You said she looks great.

Are compliments

considered wrong?

Why did you always head

to the cafeteria after her?

Lunch will be served at 1.

Everyone goes at

that time, isn’t that so?

Sh**

I didn't think you'd

actually listen to

these idiots and

follow through with this.

I just can't believe it.

Bloody fools!

Aditya!

Aditya, stop.

Aditya!

Can you all leave me alone?

Meghana!

Komali!

You too.

Shit!

One! Two! Three!

"Who are you?"

" Who am I?"

"The breath within you, within

me, is one and the same."

"Whether it's you or me, the

song we sing is

one and the same."

"Even so, I keep searching."

"Even though I don't

see myself in anyone."

"Shall I touch

this heart that has

forgotten sleep and ask again?"

"Who are you?"

" Who am I?"

"Who are you?"

" Who am I?"

"The breath within you, within

me, is one and the same."

"Whether it's you or me, the

song we sing is

one and the same."

Ma'am, breakup?

No...

Rejection!

Goodness!

Six shots vodka!

"A ceaseless ache

that smolders on,

between the birth

and death of dawn."

"Am I the battle that rages

between a dream and Art?"

Hi!

Thirty minutes, Mr. Mahendar.

As usual!

I canceled the board

meeting to be here with you.

Yeah! You did.

Cheers!

"Across the screen

of shadowed skies,

I trace the light

where my future lies."

Nice music!

Very good voice.

"Like the roar of

tireless waves..."

"I am chasing myself."

I'll be back.

Where are you going?

Should I come?

No.

"Let the tears

come if they must,

but I am still lighting

up my dreams."

"No matter how far it

is, I keep journeying on."

"Like the wind,

like the stream,"

" like a cloud, like a

melody, like this flow..."

"As the question that

seeks me, as the answer,

as the note that

searches at every step..."

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

" Who am I?"

" Who am I?"

"Who are you?"

"Who are you?"

" Who am I?"

" Who am I?"

The breath within you, within

me, is one and the same.

"Whether it's you or me, the

song we sing is

one and the same."

What's with you?

Would you not come

in unless I ask you to?

Come in.

Don't make me cry.

Mom!

Dad misinterpreted what I said.

I didn’t expect him to be there.

I didn’t even know I was

going to perform there.

I don’t think you

were in the wrong.

At the same

time, I’m not

blaming your dad for anything.

Your father needs

time to ease up on

the standards he

expected you to meet.

He sees money as the

main measure of success.

For you, it's all about

pursuing your passion.

I get what Dad is

hoping from me.

I don't think he's in the wrong.

I’m grieving because he

doesn’t understand me.

Look, Varun.

As a mother

carries her baby, she

dreams of them seeing

all that she can see.

When a father holds his baby,

it’s on his shoulders, high up.

So that his child can see

further than he ever could.

I know, mom.

When a son witnesses what

his father didn’t and his father

is fixed in his own

convictions, what

is a son to do?

Does he have to trust that his

father’s convictions are right?

Should he

believe that his

own observations are untrue?

A few people want

to take up the violin.

A few people are

interested in acting.

A few people want

to see the world.

There are people

who aim to be writers.

And some people

wants to live far

away from this

civilization

and live there.

They may hope for these

things, but when it’s time

to take action, they abandon

them and go after a job.

They’ll continue

there for as long as

they have to, whether

they want to or not.

Do you know why?

Maybe, financial pressures.

No!

Fear of failure.

This fear of losing will

defeat us before

we even try.

This is something your

grandma always said to me.

When you feel

misunderstood, it often means

you're not conveying

your thoughts effectively.

Similar to your dad,

your grandpa also

discouraged your grandma

from doing Katcheris.

Your grandma quit doing

Katcheris, but

she kept singing.

Follow your chosen path

without letting

fear hold you back.

One day, your

journey will shine in the

eyes of those who

once dismissed you.

They’ll come after you

when the time comes.

Mom!

I’ll take a trip to my grandma’s

village for a few days.

Okay.

There! She's here.

Tell something and

manage the situation.

I won't.

You should tell her.

No.

Goodness! Go!

Tell her.

Tell her.

What?

Didn’t you grab any snacks?

Actually... sorry.

I didn't foresee this happening.

What's with you all?

It’s annoying me

even to look at you all.

You're all acting as

if you're comforting

a family devastated

by a tsunami.

You’re not seeing

what needs to be

done because you

all have nothing to do.

It's not that.

Really...

Doesn’t this make you feel sad?

Right?

I understood.

You really have no work and

are coming up

with all these things.

Look!

Maybe there are some emails

for you. Get the work done.

What?

Che... Che... Check it!

What?

Goodness!

"Oh Yasoda take

hold of your child"

"He who steals

butter in several ways"

"Oh Yasoda take

hold of your child"

Grandma!

There’s a big

question on my mind.

Goodness!

Big question?

Tell me what is it.

As a child, you took home a

lot of awards

for singing, right?

With all those prizes you won,

why aren’t you

singing there now?

I have a deep love for songs.

Your grandpa has a great

love for my songs as well.

His love for my

songs is so strong

that he thinks I should

only sing for him.

That’s why I no longer

sing in Katcheris.

Selfish him!

Hey!

You shouldn't say that.

It’s not like the cuckoo

sings to be heard.

It’ll sing in any

place she chooses.

No matter who’s

listening or not.

The cuckoo is known by all.

Even you deserve to be

known by everyone, don’t you?

You're there for that, right?

Wait until you grow

up, then tell everyone.

Whole world?

Yes.

I’ll lose it not

just if you talk, but

even if I hear you

crunching snacks.

No.

Good morning, sir.

Sit, sit.

Oh!

You already sat?

Okay. sit again.

Sh**

Why are you here?

You’re the reason I thought

this place was our office.

Yes, sir.

This is our office.

Our office?

Work is going on

even in my absence?

We’re not in the period

for increments right now.

Hello!

Komali!

Come to my cabin.

Sir!

Are you actually saying this?

No.

I just wanted to see if

you’d come when I say this.

Is it?

I was hoping you would

actually say those words.

Shut up and come to my cabin.

Yes, sir.

Immediately, sir.

Stay.

Sir!

Sit.

Well.

I called you...

Which droughtstricken

place do you come from?

That sadist keeps pushing

us to work continuously.

That sadist keeps

giving us loads

of work and no time

for a lunch break.

I’ve never

witnessed this level of

sincerity from our

company people before.

I seriously want to know.

Who is the reason

behind this transformation?

It's not a transformation.

She is a transformer.

Look at them, they’re all acting

like crows that got

an electric shock.

Meghana is

threatening to take us

off the project if

we don't get to work.

What happened exactly?

Is it our fault

for thinking that

a flower is the base of love?

No.

Is it wrong of us

to think that love is

simply a flower

paired with a smile?

No!

Are we mistaken in thinking it's

love when a guy depends only on

one girl for help and insists on

joining her for lunch uninvited?

No! No! No!

That madwoman now has

it in for us because of that.

Is a single breakup truly

driving all this output?

Yes, sir.

If I knew this was

the secret to success,

I would've become

a breakup expert!

You...

Sir!

In everything I shared,

you only saw an opportunity

for yourself. Was our

pain invisible to you?

Actually...

Just these people,

or are there more?

There are still a good

number of people.

Everyone’s out

because they didn’t fit in.

What’s making your

hand shake like that?

I’ve gone three

days without drinking.

Oh!

Did your wife convince

you to quit drinking?

You...

My foot.

It’s almost always

midnight when I get home.

Why would the

wine shops be open?

Sir!

If you can, kindly

bring me some, sir.

Goodness! It won't be

sufficient for my mom.

What is it?

Resigation?

Why would employees

have the nerve to do that?

Divorce papers. `

My wife thinks I’m cheating

on her, and now she’s

talking about divorce because

of how late I come home.

Lucky fellow!

What?

Who are you?

I assume you're

new to the office.

Sir!

I'm Divya, sir.

Divya, it's you?

She’s not letting me take

the time to do my makeup.

Your lips don’t have to be

shown, but

lipstick is essential.

Please!

Hey!

What happened to you?

Why are your fingers

all twisted like that?

Nothing, sir.

I didn’t do this much work

in five years, but in the past

three days, it’s been so much

that my fingers are out of sync.

Get us out of this

psycho whirlwind.

Now tell me.

Who am I?

You are our God.

Hey Prabhu!

Hey

HariRamaKrishnaJagannathPremanand!

Cut the elevation and

save us, please, sir.

Look at Meghana, she’s fully

embraced the role of a villain.

The heroine has now

become the villain.

I have to do something.

Meghana!

You’ve never felt scared of me.

Come to my cabin.

Okay, sir.

Tell me, sir.

You called me?

What is it, Meghana?

You've gone into full

revenge mode, huh?

All the staff in the

office are blown away!

Nice! Very nice!

I'm just doing my job, sir.

That's the good spirit.

You know what!

In all my life, I never

expected to give a

best performance award

to anyone other than me.

Seems like you're

going to prove me wrong.

Sir!

I’ve submitted the approval

request to you as well.

You’re required

to give clearance

If you give your approval,

I’ll speak with the client.

I didn't get any mail.

Once check your mail, sir.

Okay.

Usually I don't miss

even a single mail.

But for your satisfaction.

Okay?

See!

What?

It was on charge

last night, so the

mail probably came

during that time.

Even so, we still

have six months

to complete this

project, Meghana.

Yes, sir.

We are ahead of time.

Just imagine how impressed

the client would be...

Hell with impressing them!

We take six months from the

client to complete the project.

Won't they feel we're

charging them unfairly

if we finish in one

month instead of six?

Do you know how many

elements we evaluate

before finalizing

project timelines?

How much man power we have?

How efficient they are?

How many hours do

they work in the office?

How much time you people

spend at the cafeteria.

So many bills, tea, coffee, green

tea, pizza,

burgers, it’s endless.

Then, we take a day

out once every month.

And then come the

harsh words you say

to me after a few

drinks on that outing.

Other than that, there

are lots of public holidays.

Weekends! Long weekends.

Added to this mix are

casual, sick, wedding, divorce,

and even breakup leaves,

which are a recent trend.

Excuse me, software!

I'm saying this to you.

Do you realize we

account for all these

aspects when

preparing the budget?

We choose a release date.

Following that, clients

will be billed monthly.

Your salaries will be paid

from the funds they provide.

I know all this, Sir.

Right, then...

If you complete the

work before time, who will

pay the salaries for

the next five months?

That's why,

the management

board has decided...

Management?

Who are they, sir?

It's me.

Has decided that, you stop

your movement and take rest.

No, sir.

I'm fine.

I'm alright.

With the pressure you're

giving, my employees are...

Meghana!

I know what you're

going through.

This is a token of appreciation

for your remarkable

performance.

Thank you.

I think you should take a break.

Please!

Take a leave.

Ofcourse!

Paid holiday.

For fifteen days.

Please!

Don't contact the office at all.

My employees wellbeing

is my first priority.

A holiday, just like that?

Don't even think about it.

From today, you

are on paid holiday.

That's it.

Uncle?

These rich folks are

always up, never sleeping.

Tomorrow... I have to

introduce you to someone.

Introduce me?

Here?

Yes.

To whom?

You'll see tomorrow.

Wow!

Very beautiful!

You said you wanted to

introduce me to someone.

There's no one here, is there?

Wow!

She is so beautiful, Varun.

Very elegant.

Grandma!

Grandma?

"Oh Yasodha, take

hold of your child."

"The wicked boy who is

interested only in playing."

"Oh Yasodha, take

hold of your child."

Grandma, are all

these prizes yours?

You're such a big

singer, grandma?

I'm...

such a big singer.

One day, I’ll be a great

singer just like you!

Aim to become a singer this big!

What’s the path to

becoming a big singer?

You must train in

music to get there.

Would you help me learn music?

Definitely.

"Oh Yasodha, take

hold of your child."

"The wicked boy who is

interested only in playing."

"Oh Yasodha, take

hold of your child."

"He rolls near and

near the pot of curd,"

"He that sinful dark one

who is like hundred suns,"

"He rolls near and

near the pot of curd,"

"He that sinful dark one

who is like hundred suns,"

"He who has great strength

to even punish the world,"

"Is the limitless

feeling of great joy."

"Oh Yasodha, take

hold of your child."

"The wicked boy who is

interested only in playing."

"Oh Yasodha, take

hold of your child."

From now, you are the

keeper of Geetha Mandiram.

This is my gift for you.

Your voice should never fade.

Hey!

What is it?

Sa...

Mm.

Sangeetha Mandiram.

Varun, in my life, until

now, I've heard music...

but for the first time,

I'm seeing music.

Feels like a downpour is coming.

Shall we leave?

"A flash of lightning

felt like a smile."

"A falling raindrop sounded

like a jingling anklet."

"A flash of lightning

felt like a smile."

"A falling raindrop sounded

like a jingling anklet."

"This soul of mine swayed like

a tender leaf in

the cool breeze."

"My feet raced like a line

drawn on the wet earth."

"In this playful moment, time

itself sang a sweet melody."

"The first call I heard

felt like a shiver of joy."

"The first turn I took

felt completely new."

"In a drizzle, this youth

bloomed like a rainbow,"

"A melody that sounded like

the song of a river's wave."

"Deep inside, a silence...

resonated like a Sarangi."

"A flash of lightning

felt like a smile."

"A falling raindrop sounded

like a jingling anklet."

"Like making paintings

and signatures,

adorning words

with musical notes."

"Like doors opening

to new paths,

laying a carpet

as an invitation."

"This joy that bloomed

tonight… Could it

ever fade, even after

a hundred years?"

"This enchantment

is time’s own will

No beginning… no

end… just eternal still. "

"A flash of lightning

felt like a smile."

"A falling raindrop sounded

like a jingling anklet."

"A flash of lightning

felt like a smile."

"A falling raindrop sounded

like a jingling anklet."

What's with you?

You're playing with me?

I give missed calls

all the way to Graham

Bell’s spirit, and you

still don’t answer?

Graham Bell?

Who are you?

Hang up the call.

I lost count of how

many times I called you!

Why do you always take

ages to answer when I call?

Take a look at how many

missed calls you have from me.

Where are you?

Do you have any idea how

it looks to others, sending

you far off all alone when

you're not even married yet?

Sunnala Subbayamma!

I’m doing all the talking,

don’t you have anything to say?

Speak something.

Aunt, I'm Varun.

Seems like our phones,

Meghana’s and

mine, got mixed up.

What?

No, aunt.

She’s staying in this

bungalow right now.

Bungalow?

What is my daughter

doing at your place?

Did she forget to book

a hotel for herself?

Who are you?

You're not understanding

this correctly, Aunt.

This place doesn’t

have any hotels.

We offer rooms for

rent in our bungalow.

I guess you could

call it a homestay.

Oh!

That's fine.

Are you the equivalent

of hotel staff, then?

Yes, aunt.

Fine!

Give this phone to

my daughter now.

You said Subbayamma earlier.

Oh that...

In her childhood, my daughter

didn’t prepare at

all for her exams.

Do you know what she did?

On the exam sheet, she wrote

Subbayamma, which

is our maid’s name.

Exactly as she thought, she

received a zero in her exam.

Whenever I’m angry

with her now, I can’t

help but call her

Sunnala Subbayamma.

That's the story.

Oh!

Hey!

Shall I tell you something?

Yes.

If someone calls her that,

she’ll lose her temper for sure.

This hint is all I needed, Aunt.

Aunt, just a minute.

Okay.

Meghana!

Varun!

You came at such

an inopportune time.

Meghana!

I'm busy!

I can't come.

Ms Subbayamma!

What?

He'll be dead meat now.

Who told you?

Mom!

Who told your mom?

Not my mom. Your mom.

Why would my mom call you?

Not me.

She called you.

Somehow, our

phones got mixed up.

Mom!

Why do you feel the need to

say everything

in such little time?

It's not...`

That guy asked, I...

Hang up the call.

What again?

My phone.

Good night, Subbayamma.

Mom!

Valparai

Far from a chaotic

life, a

beautiful place.

Everywhere you look

pure beauty.

It doesn’t even feel like Earth…

more like floating

among the clouds.

Varun.

The estate owner.

He hardly speaks a word.

But when he sings it's magical.

He sees the world differently.

Points to the clouds

and says, “Look,

they’re drifting

away with the wind.”

No ego at all.

Even makes a

great bowl of Maggi.

Wait, wait…

Why am I thinking

about Varun so much?

Hi friends!

This building has stood

for a hundred years.

The weather is quite chilly.

Ranga, the reel maker,

is busy doing reels.

Ranga!

Yes.

Come here.

Bye, friends.

Ma'am is calling me.

Yes, ma'am.

How many people

are following you?

Twenty two.

If you follow as well, the

count will be twenty-three.

Twenty three?

That's it?

I’m not Mr. Varun to be

rocking 200k followers, right?

Does Varun boast

such a huge fanbase?

He’s not on social

media, but had he

been, he would’ve

had India’s full support.

Really?

Doesn't Mr. Varun

have a girlfriend?

I don't know, ma'am.

I have no clue.

But Mr. Varun is truly

a wonderful person.

But why all these

questions, ma'am?

What's with you? Why

are you questioning me?

What is it, uncle?

Why are you looking

at me like that?

I’ve known Varun

from his childhood.

I also know how special

his grandma is to him.

Since her death,

Varun is only

surrounded by her

memories in this place.

I’m finally seeing the

Varun I used to know.

But I don’t know

if it’s his passion

driving him, or

something else entirely.

Meghana!

It’s someone’s

good fortune if

Mr. Varun walks into their life.

What is it?

Despite all my calls,

you hung up on me.

I definitely heard

some girl talking.

I didn’t have my phone with me.

Meghana...

Me...

Meghana?

Who is Meghana?

I didn't say Meghana.

Cloudy skies are messing

with the signal here.

Brother!

Ms Meghana has

been searching for you.

What is it?

Is it the clouds that

come looking for you now?

It's nothing like that.

She’s currently a

guest at our place.

It’s unbelievable that even

your phones got exchanged.

That a guest at our place.

Another level customer service.

There's nothing like that.

I didn't say that, right?

She's a nice girl.

Is it?

You went there and got

caught up in a

girl’s charm, right?

Nice!

There's nothing like that.

It’s such a pleasant

feeling seeing her.

Her liveliness resonates

in every tune I craft.

Oh!

So, you've become sober and now

you're immersed

in the world of love.

Why delay? Did

you say this to her?

Not now.

It’ll take a little

while for that.

There’s no right time to

express love, it should be now.

Even the hard times

will stand by you.

Our elders shared this

wisdom ages ago, didn’t they?

Hey!

It was Prabhu Deva

who said that, am I right?

If we’re being accurate,

it was Nagma who said it.

Will you shut up?

What's with you?

You come from a family of

a renowned businessman.

You've had a great

education in America

and worked in

significant jobs there.

To add to that, you're going

to be a famous musician soon.

What's with you?

That's my problem.

I set out to create something,

and now I'm failing

at creating tunes.

As that happened,

Meghana entered.

She inspired me a lot.

In her, I’ve witnessed the

wonders I longed for in nature.

She became my inspiration.

When my album is

ready, I'll give it to your

uncle and then head over

to propose to Meghana.

That's it!

That's enough!

I’ve shared a lot of

information so far.

Hey!

What did you tell?

Tell me everything.

Hey!

I'll call you later.

Hey!

Varun!

Varun!

Hello owner!

I want to talk to grandma once.

Grandma?

What do you want to talk?

So, no keys

until I tell you

what you want to know?

Goodness!

If someone that beautiful starts

sulking, it could cause a flood!

Uncle!

Yes?!

Pass her the keys of

Sangeetha Mandiram.

Okay, dear.

Why did you hand

over those keys to

her, the ones you

never give to anyone?

Starting now, whenever she

asks, just hand it over to her.

Oh!

Grandma!

How did you raise Varun so well?

I'm jealous of you.

After a really long time,

I wore a saree again.

Am I looking good?

Not upto your level.

I don’t look too

bad, do I, grandma?

I haven’t mentioned

this to Varun yet.

But you know everything, right?

This is a bit hard

for me to say.

I’m short-tempered by nature.

A little bit.

He’s as composed

as a meditating saint.

He was

practicing

his violin the other

night, right when I

was trying to sleep.

Before he came, my

world was different.

Now, he's

become my world.

I like him as much

as he likes you.

Can I be a part of

your grandson’s life?

Do you believe I’d

fit well into his life?

Will he accept me?

Just watch, grandma.

I will take much better care

of Varun than you ever did.

Why do you sound

out of breath, sister?

Nothing.

I came running to get here.

That's why.

Is it?

Where are you running

off to in such a hurry?

I’ve decided to

tell Varun today.

Varun?

Who is Varun?

What exactly are

you going to tell him?

He’s the one who

owns this estate.

Good singer.

I like him so much.

I think I'm in love with him.

Sister!

Sister, you left for the village

because of your impulsiveness.

Now too, it seems you're

about to do something impulsive.

Will you never change?

Wait until something

comes to you.

If you go on your

own, you'll lose value.

Meghana, what's wrong with you?

I didn't think you'd

be the same as rest.

I didn't expect this from you.

I though you're a matured woman.

Hello!

Hello, sister.

Meghana!

Keys!

Varun never allowed me to

give these keys to anyone.

For the first time,

he allowed me to

hand it over to you

whenever you wish.

What is this luggage?

Where are you going?

Urgent phone

call from the office.

I have to go.

Why so suddenly? Anyway, the

office people told

you not to come, right?

So what now?

I have to go.

Meghana, why are

you talking like this?

What happened now?

Uncle!

Yes?!

Has the cab arrived?

It's ready.

No need.

I'll drop you.

Why so suddenly? Is

everything fine at home?

Everyone is safe,

nothing happened.

Everyone is fine.

I have to go.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I planted a rose sapling

in the Geetha Mandiram.

Tell them to remember

to water the plant.

I gave Ranga a lesson

on making Sambar.

Sam...

You’ll make a name

for yourself as a singer.

You’ll be known for

your wonderful albums.

Write me a postcard

when you get to Hyderabad.

Post card?

We have phones, right?

Right?

Why are you speaking as if

we won't see each other again?

Is there a chance

we’ll meet again?

What?

Nothing.

I'm just one of the tourists

who came to your bungalow.

I'm sure you've come across

many people like me before.

You don't need to

remember me, right?

Yes.

My list is long.

Hello owner!

Do you have something to say?

No.

I'm asking again.

Do you have anything to say?

Seeing you in a

saree this morning

reminded me of my Grandmother.

Thanks!

He says he's reminded

of his grandmother.

Hell with him!

Meghana!

Meghana!

Hi Meghana!

Hi!

Meghana!

I need to talk to

you for a minute.

Aditya!

I know what you want to say.

I don't need your apologies.

That's not it, Meghana.

I want to marry you.

I was overwhelmed that day and

didn’t know how to

handle the situation.

Then I shared with

my mom what occurred.

My mom said 'Meghana

is such a kind person.'

She offers such wise advice.

She works diligently.

She’s great with people.

Isn’t this what you

keep telling me?

She kept scolding me,

saying, why did you reject

her when she was the one

who wanted to marry you?

Aditya, please.

Anyway, forget what

happened that day.

When I asked you if we should

get married, I didn't love you.

Today, you

don't love me.

You heard your mother

and assumed it was

true, that’s why you’re

speaking like this.

We don't love

each other.

But now I know what love is.

I know what my heart wants.

That day I respected

your decision.

Today, I request you

to respect my decision.

After all, we're

colleagues.

One day, you'll find someone.

Then you won't ask your mother.

You'll directly ask that girl.

That’s the wonder

of being in love.

What is it, dear?

Why the low energy?

Nothing, uncle.

Subbayamma!

Why do you look

so down, dear?

Has office work

gotten heavier lately?

If his love for Rukmini

Devi was so deep, why

wasn’t Krishna the one

to send the first letter?

Why didn’t Lord Krishna confront

them all and go ahead

with the marriage?

Go and ask Lord Krishna.

He might tell you.

Hey!

Sit!

It was foolish of me to ask you.

Imagine if Lord Krishna

had acted without

knowing whether

Rukmini truly loved him.

What if Rukmini

Devi confronted him

and asked why he

fought everyone?

Poor him. What

kind of answer would

Lord Krishna give

in that situation?

Impulsiveness doesn’t

always work in every situation.

You always back Lord Krishna.

Marriage is not just

a decision based

on wanting to

share a life together.

What matters most

is that you can’t

imagine living

without each other.

If love and respect

are shared between two

people, does it matter

who expresses it first?

Why don’t you

suggest to Lord Krishna

`that he should

write the letter first?

My lovely daughter.

Ranga!

Sir!

Two coffee.

Okay, sir.

Sir!

Who’s the other cup

of coffee intended for?

Sir!

Hey!

Why do you want?

I'll take the other

cup of coffee.

Give it to me.

Okay.

Varun!

Hii!

Hi sir!

I want to meet uncle.

He is there. You can go.

Okay.

Uncle!

What is it? Roar?

What's with this?

That means you'll shout?

No, uncle. I'll make you listen.

What?

Song...

Hi Varun!

How are you?

Good, sir.

What have you

been doing recently?

Sir, I’ve produced an album.

Oh!

I wanted you to listen.

Give it to me.

Uncle!

Excellent Varun!

Great music!

Yes!

This is what I expected.

See how big of a

sensation this becomes.

Mark my words.

A new era in music is starting.

Thank you, Sir.

Thank you so much.

Oh come on.

You deserve it, champion.

You just relax.

I'll plan the album release.

By the way, have

you picked a title for it?

Uncle...

Roar...

Shut up!

I have a name.

What is it, sir?

A star is born.

Uncle, is it original?

It's real.

Mom!

I’ll treat you to a

pedicure. Come!

Goodness!

I don't want all these.

Why do I need all these?

I don't understand.

What's with all these?

After all that, my mom looks

more stunning than ever.

I don’t know what makes her

show anger or

love toward people.

What?

Nothing!

I'm saying to do pedicure.

Do it.

Meghana!

Oh my God! It's awesome, Varun.

Do you know how great it is?

Actually, if you're

in front of me now...

So, if I'm in front of you...

If you're in front of me...

Just come out.

Meghana!

Meghana!

What's with her?

Why is she walking away

without even hearing me out?

If I'm in front of you...

what were you saying?

There’s a cozy coffee

shop not far from here.

Shall we go?

Okay.

Hey!

There's coffee here.

Would a coffee shop offer

vegetables in place of coffee?

I come by here all the time.

It feels pretty cozy

here, doesn’t it?

Lights,

tables,

chairs,

humans,

waiter...

Waiter... What's wrong

with you, Meghana?

What coffee do

you feel like having?

Actually...

Capuccino?

Espresso!

Americano?

Oh! I forgot!

You like filter coffee, right?

Waiter!

Waiter!

Meghana!

I love you.

Love hit me hard

the moment I saw

you there, right in

the middle of traffic.

Traffic?

When I saw you in

Valparai, I had this

overwhelming feeling

that you were my destiny.

The days you were there,

I couldn't tell you.

And the days you weren't

there, I couldn't stay there.

I struggled so much, Meghana.

You and my music.

These two are

enough for my life.

I don't need anything else.

I’ve been wanting to tell

you this for so long now.

I love you, Meghana.

With all the love you have for

me, why didn’t you speak up?

What made you

pause all this time?

I ran to you the second I

realized how deeply I love you.

I couldn’t stay at peace without

sharing this with

you, so I came here.

Varun, can you imagine how

long I’ve been waiting for you?

But you didn't even call me.

When I saw your message,

everything else in

the world faded away.

Until I saw you, it was

like I couldn’t

breathe.

I have a deep love for music.

But it was you who brought

life to every song I sent you.

The days you were

there, I used to wait

for when you would

appear in front of me.

The nature I saw through your

eyes seemed so new to me.

It created a new music in me.

Every day, I used to see

love for me in your eyes.

Your eyes that were

eager to say something.

Your words that stopped

without being said.

Your steps that couldn't

stand in front of me.

Everything! Everything

I know, Meghana.

But that day, I hid all

the emotions for you in me.

In fact, this album came

out so well because of you.

That's why I didn't even

call you for so many days.

You didn't call me all

this time for this album?

Knowing everything,

seeing everything,

you used my emotions

as tools to help you?

Meghana, listen to...

Wait.

Just wait, Varun.

How could you do that, Varun?

What's the difference

between you and Aditya?

You both look the same.

Aditya in the office

did it for his survival,

and you did it for your music.

You both looked at

me like I was crazy.

Meghana, will you

listen to what I say once?

I was waiting for

your call every day.

But you...

Meghana, I wanted to

call you everyday. But...

But, my album...

Oh, your album had

to be finished, right?

My memories there should

help you like tools, right?

It's not that, Meghana.

I didn't mean it.

Darn it!

I hate myself for loving you.

I never expected you

to turn my nature into

an instrument and

use it as inspiration.

I'm losing faith in love knowing

that you loved me for this.

Meghana!

Actually...

I thought your

memories will be with me,

but never thought it

would create wounds.

I don't need people

like you in my

life who doesn't

value my emotions.

Until now, I’ve been waiting for

you to reveal your

feelings for me.

But now, I will

say. Listen to me.

I can't love you anymore.

Goodbye, Varun.

Welcome to Pep

talk with Parnika.

All of us think it’s important

to eventually settle in life.

Many of us actually

manage to settle down.

Some see settling down

as the end of their journey.

So, instead of settling,

some people choose

to start over and

explore new directions.

They leave their comfort

zones and tread the path of

the impossible to fulfill

a destiny they believe in.

Settling isn't their

goal, success is.

Let’s hear from a young

artist who’s left comfort

behind to pursue

success on his own terms.

So let's welcome the latest

music sensation, Mr. Varun.

Hi Varun!

Hello!

Congratulations! Your album

became a runaway success.

No one had heard of

you just one month ago.

But now, you're

talk of the town.

So this is what overnight

fame really looks like.

Not an overnight star, ma'am.

It look lot of efforts,

hardships, rejections.

For every success

you see, there’s

an invisible war that

no one talks about.

In the light of your success,

everything else fades

into nothing, right?

You put in so much effort to

achieve this

success, didn’t you?

Isn’t this how you

define success?

I don’t think success

is measured by

how others view

your place in society.

Success is feeling

fulfilled within

yourself, that’s

how I define it.

The work that leaves us

feeling truly accomplished.

We have to accept ourselves.

My research uncovered something

that I found very interesting.

Our research revealed that

your grandmother, Ms. Kamakshi

Shankaramurthi, was quite a

well-known singer

during her era.

Tell us about the kind of

connection you shared with her.

Ms. Kamakshi Shankaramurthi

is my grandmother.

She is the person who opened

my eyes to the magic of music.

When she played

the Veena, she exuded

a divine presence,

almost like a Goddess.

She nurtured my

singing skills by

being by my side and guiding me.

She used to tell me

that with enough will, a

man can achieve anything

he sets his mind to.

She is my ultimate aspiration.

She is the spark that

ignites all my aspirations.

He always used to tell me.

It doesn’t matter how many

barriers or naysayers are in

your way, don’t be deterred.

Fight for what you believe in,

even if it means

going against others.

Don't stop trying, no matter

how challenging it may seem.

His words are the

benchmark I aspire to.

Great, Varun.

My dad was there for me in

every way a

father is for his son.

He gave me the tools I needed to

live independently

and confidently.

My dad paved the way for my

future with endless

opportunities.

Even if I give

my all, it

can never match the love

and support my dad has

given me since I was a child.

That's why I took my grandma’s

dream and made it

the vision for my life.

It could have been

my fondness for her

that inspired the

music that lives in me.

The most meaningful thing

I can do for my father is to

sing before an audience, as

my grandma wished for me.

That’s the only source

of real satisfaction for me.

That's my success.

On this beautiful

occasion, would you

perform a song from

your album for us?

Even you believe

I’m wrong?

I can’t figure

out how to judge

who’s right and

who’s wrong.

He wants to live

life on his own terms.

It's his choice.

You want him to go

along with your decisions.

It's your expectation.

Is it wrong to want

the best for him?

No.

Is it fair to measure

what’s right based

solely on the path

you want him to take?

Those childhood

moments when

he walked ...

on his own for the first

time brought us so much joy.

But when he grows up

and wants to follow his own

road, we tend to guide him

back to the one we prefer.

If our choices were correct

then, they could

be mistaken now.

That's it!

What happened?

Nothing, sir.

That's what I'm asking.

I was being really

productive, and

then you sent me off somewhere.

Why did you call me now?

Do you mean to say I

haven’t been working?

Once more, I’ve called you

to ask you to go somewhere.

Now, what have I done

to your employees?

This time, not

employees, but clients.

What?

You impressed them.

Goodness!

Please clarify it for me

in a way I can grasp, sir.

Clients demand rapid

completion of their work.

They asked for one of our

top talents to

be sent onsite.

You know...

I can’t make it because of

my professional obligations.

So our management... me...

recommended you.

What's your opinion?

You need to go onsite.

But there’s little time for us.

Okay.

I'll go.

How come you accepted

it without hesitation?

Don't you even ask where it is?

I'm okay with any place expect

the one I'm living in right now.

I'm so relived.

I was worried you

wouldn’t agree.

What's with you?

Don't you even ask where it is?

Ukraine!

Ukraine?

Did you think it was Ukraine?

No.

Poland that is beside it.

It's a very peaceful country.

Yes.

It's a peaceful country.

You won't be there, right?

Exactly...

Varun is such a

nice guy, sister.

Everyone are!

Except me.

You’re approaching everything

based on your own viewpoint.

In my opinion, people

are all selfish in some way.

Opportunists!

Bloody opportunists!

If you say no to Varun now,

you’ll be the one

making a mistake.

Would a selfish person

leave behind the glory of a hit

album to stand outside your

house with a violin like that?

He doesn’t deserve

to grow distant from

you just because

you’re being stubborn.

Keerthi, I understand

what you're trying to say.

But Varun is...

so far away now that

we can't reach him.

For those truly in love,

distance is just a small hurdle.

How can there be distance for

Varun, when he lives

within your heart?

Go and express what’s

been on your heart.

I'm telling you now.

Let your impulse take

over in this moment.

Meghana!

Please listen to me.

You’ve misunderstood both my

words and the

emotions behind them.

Getting inspired by nature

doesn't mean using it.

It’s about honoring nature.

You’ve really inspired me.

True.

I didn’t do it on purpose.

You don’t choose when

to feel love or be inspired.

These things happen to us.

You shouldn’t be just a part

of my past or an inspiration.

I imagined my whole life

with you at the center of it.

I dreamed of a

life with you, like a

cloud and its rain,

always together.

You misread what I meant

and didn’t let me

explain myself.

You questioned

why I didn’t share

my feelings in

Valparai, didn’t you?

All I had going for

me then was my

identity as Manhendra

Shankar Murthy’s son.

Driver!

Go left.

Airport is this side, right?

I know.

But I have to go this side.

You're like a cloud.

Only by reaching the

sky can one reach you.

This is why I came to you

right after the album was done.

If your feelings haven’t

changed, then it’s your choice.

I respect your decision.

I hate feeling your

absence in my life.

Varun!

Varun!

Varun is not here.

I must leave this city

within the next three hours.

It feels like I’ll never be

able to see Varun again.

I'm sorry, grandma.

I’m breaking my

word to you by leaving.

I can only say sorry

to you in this

situation.

I told you I’d take better

care of Varun, but now,

here I am leaving, knowing

I can’t see him forever.

As you foresaw, he

became a famous musician.

I'm happy for him.

Even if I approach

Varun now, he’ll likely

think it’s only because

of his newfound fame.

He’ll never know

that I’ve realized

how much I need

him in my life.

Not only him, everyone

thinks the same.

If Varun thinks

like that even once,

I won’t be able

to live with myself.

But forgetting

him and living

without him is

impossible for me.

You tell me.

What do you want me to do?

Is it wrong for me to

leave India and move on?

I can't live with Varun.

But I’ll

leave with the

confidence that his

memories will stay with

me for the rest of my life.

Please give me

strength to face this.

Please help me, grandma.

Meghana.

Did you see?

It’s as if Varun is calling

me, even at this moment.

Meghana!

Shall we get married?

When did you come?

I walked in when

you were having a

conversation with

my grandma's picture.

Did you listen everything?

Yes.

I did.

You didn't ask anything.

I'm asking you.

Shall we get married?

You’re asking, knowing very

well how intense

my anger can be.

I know that.

And now, I’ve

discovered that you have

this habit of

conversing with pictures.

Since when... Since when

have you been

talking to pictures?

From the day I met you...

Hey!

Hello ma'am!

Aren't you going to

be late for your flight?

How much time do I need to wait?

The wait

will be at

least thirty to forty years.

Got it.

You're flying, even

without getting on the plane.

I’ll leave your

luggage here for now.

Take care.

Varun!

Dad!

I didn't want

you to...

Varun!

I know what you’re getting at.

Let me say.

I’ve always

aimed to become a

greater businessman than my dad.

I dedicated my life to expanding

the business he

handed over to me.

I often stand

before his picture...

And think that if he were

alive, he’d reassure me...

That my decisions were correct.

Until now...

I’ve never been

able to comprehend

what my mom’s dream truly was.

I never gave thought to

what would make her happy.

Being her son, I

couldn’t realize her

dream, but you

embraced it as yours.

Now, I'm

telling you.

Your decision is right.

I'm really proud of you, my son.

Thank you so much, dad.

Really proud of you.

Thanks, mom.

For believing and

understanding me.

I've always trusted you.

I don't understand.

Those who once doubted

you are proud of you now.

Why are you looking at me?

Since the moment he was born, I

knew about him

before you ever did.

That he will make me proud.
