-Hello? -Tell me.

Where are you?

What is it, Geetha?

The photo shoot has started.

Why aren’t you here yet?

I'll be there after I finish my prayers at the Ashram.

You deal with the photo shoot.

Then, will you bring Gandhi along?

Fine. I’ll bring him.

GANDHI KANNADI

Hey, Abhinesh. Are the groceries in?

-Yes, brother. -Good! Let Geetha know too.

Aren't you going to the event?

I am. Thought I'd take Gandhi with me.

Where is he?

I saw him last with Madhan.

This week's groceries are in too.

-Alright. Get Jhansi to check once. -Okay, brother.

Didn’t go for a walk today, Manickam sir?

I started, but my legs are hurting.

Overburdening yourself always brings pain.

Lose some weight, and the pain will go away.

Okay?

Saradha sister…

hope you're taking your medicines regularly.

Yes, yes.

But it's too bitter, Kathir.

Medicine is bitter.

but you have to take it to get better.

Don't skip your medicine.

Where's Gandhi, Madhan?

He was just with me,

but I don’t know where he is now.

How can you be so irresponsible?

-Go find him. -On it.

Jhansi, find where Gandhi went.

-Did you see Gandhi? -No, we didn't.

-Did you see Gandhi? -No, Madhan. I didn't see him.

-Did you see Gandhi anywhere? -He didn't come this way.

-Mallika sister, did you see Gandhi? -No, I didn't.

-Did any of you see Gandhi? -Did you?

-Gandhi? -Gandhi? Where did he go?

Kathir…

We’re all looking for him. I’m sure he’s somewhere around here.

Please don't worry.

A few people enter our lives,

but eventually, they leave.

We’ll never know why they came,

but they’re the reason

our life changed.

For me, that person is…

Gandhi.

[song plays on radio]

Seriously, who made up this ‘daily bath’ rule?

-Gandhi. -Huh?!

When will you ever learn to take your own towel?

Why should I, when you’re here, honey?

-Then I won't take a bath! -Gandhi!

Kannamma, don’t go around telling our story to everyone.

People will get jealous.

Button up your shirt first.

Don’t I have you for that?

You better eat it all.

-Got it? -Okay.

Listen. Wash out the box. Or at least pour some water in it.

It stinks when I open it.

Don't I have you for that?

Yeah, right! I'm there for everything.

Tiger, she's hitting me!

It didn't hurt.

-It didn't! -I'm coming for you.

-Jamin. -What?

I've got a flat tire. Let me come with you today.

Shall I take him with me, Tiger?

He's saying, "No."

-Wait a minute, Sundaram. -No, I don't want tea, Kannamma.

Listen to me.

-You weren't bringing tea for me?! -It’s her time for romance.

Stand still, Gandhi.

Shoo away the jealous skies,

No curse can dim these ties,

Love protects from evil eyes.

Here, spit.

How foolish of me to have asked you for a lift!

Don't go. Come this way.

No evil eyes can reach my prize,

I’ll guard you close, love never lies!

As if you’re the only one in love.

It's alright, Kannamma. You didn't do it on purpose to fall at my feet.

You wish. I was picking the keys.

Keys?! Even peers don’t get as much respect as keys do.

-Come on now. -You spend a lot to ward off evil eyes, right?

They don't even give a damn about my sarcasm.

-Gandhi? -Tell me, dear.

-Don't forget your helmet. -I'm already wearing it.

Turn on the headlight.

Done.

-The indicators? -They're working.

Lastly, keep honking while you drive.

Alright.

-Go to work safely. -Okay.

Hey!

Hey, Kathir!

Kathir?

You!

Answer Madhan's calls. He says it's urgent.

Where are you, Kathir?

-It's too noisy on your end. -I'm at the event.

Can you hear me?

Hey!

-Tell me now. -We've got a problem. Come quickly.

-Problem? -Come here, and I'll tell you.

Coming.

Continue!

Next week, I’ll go as Superman.

Okay?

He's a superhero, isn't he?

What kind of costume is that?

The mascot didn't show up for the event.

-Doesn't mean you become one. -Then? Will the one behind you do it?

-I've come with my friend's team leader. -He's a team leader?

-To talk about the event. -I can't let 5,000 rupees go to waste for this.

-Hello, Mr. Fahadh Faasil. -Hi!

-What confidence! -Give us five minutes.

-Kathir will explain the details. -Okay, sounds good.

Jhansi…

-Deposit this 5,000 rupees in my account. -Sure.

-Hi, bro! -Hi, bro!

-Tell me, buddy. -It's my girlfriend's birthday.

The surprise should be so grand that, she worships me every year from now.

-That's my only request. -In that case, you have to die.

What?!

-What is he talking? -Hold on, please.

Enough with the sarcasm, please.

Relax, bro. Listen to our ideas.

Start the car on OMR and take the ECR route.

Not that route.

-Why? -We have to pay ₹190 for toll.

How will he get married, if he won't even pay the toll?

He's a TL?!

Take a sip and take in what I'm about to say.

You're going in a car with your girlfriend.

Our boys will follow your car.

But why?!

I own a seven seater.

There's a lot of room for all of us.

Why waste petrol on another car?

With boys like him, even 8 can fit in the car.

You bloody!

Oops!

Salt biscuits sink quick. You carry on.

Okay, brother.

Start your car and go--

Damn it!

Why'd you stop? Go on.

It's okay. Let me know once you're done. I'll tell you after that.

Sorry, brother. You continue.

You go for a fast drive.

Our boys will chase your car.

You get so annoyed, you skid to a stop right in front of the other car.

Four guys get out of that car.

You get into a big fight.

You hit them, and they hit you back.

The fight escalates. They smash a bottle on you and stab your lover.

-How was the surprise? -Oh my! I hope there's a hospital nearby.

All that will be sorted out, right?

Don't worry. The bottle is just like you.

It's a dummy. It won't hurt your lover.

Then we play the song.

All the fighters turn into dancers.

Balloons fly out of the boot. And you kneel down to propose.

It would be just amazing, brother!

Wow! That's awesome. Are you sure she'll be surprised?

Relax. At your wedding, we’ll gift you salt biscuits with our blessings.

Wonderful, bro!

-Geetha will share the other details soon. -Okay!

-Go on, Geetha. -Thank you so much!

Anytime! Congratulations!

-I can see your undies. Pull up your pants. -Okay, okay.

-How did he woo a girl?! -Just a moment, Geetha.

Your boyfriend has so many ideas.

He must have surprised you a lot.

Anyways, thank you!

-Hey! -You called me, said there was a problem.

But you're silent now.

I…

Geetha…

What's wrong with Geetha?

-I mean… -Today's my birthday.

This is the problem.

Happy birthday, Geetha!

Happy birthday to you!

Geetha!

Cut the cake.

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

Geetha!

Thank you!

Hello?

Brother?

Is that so?

I'm on my way.

Let's go, Madhan.

Come, Kathir. Didn't I mention in the call?

My brother got an advance from Ravi.

I didn't know about it and I took money from you.

Please don't get me wrong, but I'm in no position to help you.

Why don't you try talking to Ravi?

This is so unfair, brother. Let's go.

-Ravi… -What is it, Kathir?

How can you talk like this when the event is tomorrow?

You brainwashed my client and lured him to your side!

Ravi…

people visit multiple stores before buying anything.

And they pick a place where its less expensive.

I wouldn't have done this if you had told me.

-You idiot! -Mani.

He taught you everything,

and you became his competitor?

This isn't right.

What's with that stare?

Hey, Mani.

Let it go.

Kathir, you do it.

-Hitler, give it to him. -Sure, brother.

Talk to him, brother.

-Get going. -Boss…

You give in too easily.

-That's wrong. -As if…

-Brother, he's one of us. -Shut up!

I stand here now because I gave up everything.

If we had it all, we wouldn’t need to go to them.

Geetha?

Hey!

Why aren't you ready?

We’re late. Hurry up and get ready.

Oh!

Okay, sir.

I’ll be ready in a minute.

"Sir?"

Damn! It's about the cake.

Sorry!

Wow! That was quick.

I never asked you to buy me a cake, Kathir.

You forgot my birthday.

And I let it go.

Geetha, if I hadn't gone…

You think I did it on purpose?

Our love isn’t at a stage where you need to explain yourself.

And it's not a big deal.

But, don’t do it again.

Noted, boss!

Alright, get out now. I need to change.

Hey, I don't have a problem.

I'm not shy.

-Get changed now. -Such a fraud!

Go out!

-What do you mean? -I meant what I said.

You’re not going?

I’m not.

Ramesh, Partiv Patel, Ashish Nehra.

It's my big game. Please don't mess it up.

If not, I'll screw you.

Gandhi?

Gandhi?

-Gandhi?! -Huh?

You're 60, right?

Darn right I am!

Had we had kids,

they’d have done something like this for us too, right?

Gandhi, come stand here.

Right here.

The whole town’s evil eyes are on you!

Especially, Sanghavi.

She's vile.

Even Mallika, Revathy, and Malar.

May none of their evil eyes harm you!

Here, spit thrice.

-Gandhi? -Yes, Kannamma.

Do you wish for anything from our marriage?

First, I want it to happen.

That's what I wish for!

Why? Do you have any?

Every woman does.

I want at least 2,000 people at our wedding.

Come on, there aren’t even 2,000 people in our town.

So what if our town doesn’t have enough?

We’ll invite people from the next town.

We’ll serve a delicious meat feast to all our guests.

Every street should resound with songs from the micset.

Mmm.

That's it?

I’ll tell you whenever I think of something.

Gandhi!

Just like the song Rajavin Paarvai from Anbe Vaa,

I too want to ride with you on a chariot, masquerading through our town.

November 23rd is my mother’s birthday.

Can we marry on that day?

It will feel like my mother is with me

A 15 pound gold chain thaali.

And we’ll have only one kid.

Why so?

That one child will have all our love.

Gandhi, one must have status to even approach men like us.

That’s the one you picked to marry?

Kannamma, he isn’t the one for you.

Let’s get out of this town now.

You’re burning up.

Gandhi?

I'm not right for you.

What? Then what’s with all this inking?

-You don't have to lose anything for me. -Quiet.

Quit playing with me.

I long to stay with you till my last breath.

But this town and its people won’t allow it.

I don't mind if I'm killed,

all I want is for you to live.

Stop it.

Let me make it clear.

This town, its people, my assets,

I don’t want any of it.

A new town, a paying job,

a small home, and a life we love…

that’ll do!

Don't I have you by my side?

Meet me by the mill

at 3 a.m.

Jamin, give me some more.

Here you go.

-Enough? -What, are you feeding a crow?

So why did you ask me to get permission at work?

Where are we rushing off to?

The supervisor keeps calling me.

We’ve come all the way to Royapuram. Where are we going? Tell me!

Just keep quiet.

I’m about to do something good.

Correct!

What is?

Wow, parking like some Casanova, are you?

Sir, we’ve spoken to the financier.

You just need to sign, and he’ll pay you.

Don't worry.

-Your daughter's wedding will turn out great. -Fine, dear.

-Bye. -Thanks a lot.

I'll go with him.

-I just spoke to Kathir. -See that?

-Careful. -Get the house’s will ready, dear.

-I've to come back again. -Slowly.

I couldn’t get the money anywhere.

Kathir said he’ll help me get money by pawning the house will.

They look like Motu Patlu to me.

Remember we asked for security?

-I think it's them. Deal with it. -Okay.

Oh, did Shanmugam send you here?

Night after night, someone steals from the godown.

Salary is ₹4,500, plus ₹30 a day for tea.

You two decide which one of you will work here.

- is it going to be Motu or Patlu? -Son...

we're not here for that.

-Then? -You held an event yesterday, right?

That was too good.

-We were there. -So?

We need to hold an event too.

Oh, is that so? Come, let's sit down and discuss.

Please sit.

-You too sit. -Please make yourselves comfortable.

-Sir? -Sir, please sit.

Son?

I want to get married.

-Marriage? -You?

Huh?

You can’t even get a mortgage at this age…

and you’re thinking of marriage?

No, no, son.

It’s for me and my wife Kannamma.

We want to celebrate my 60th with a wedding party.

Oh, a wedding party?

Tell us how you want it and we'll do it!

Check this out, sir.

This has all the options.

Give it to me.

-Son... -Sir?

how about we skip all this? Just a hot tea for me,

and a coffee for him with less sugar.

He thought this was a hotel menu card.

Sir, forget it.

You tell us what you want, we’ll make it happen!

I'll tell you all about what my Kannamma likes.

-Will you note it down? -Hey, start jolting down.

-Please give me a minute. Hey, wait.

-Yes, sir. - A majestic wedding hall.

-A majestic wedding hall. -Okay.

All those glittering lights.

Cover the entire area in sparkling lights.

Let’s masquerade the town in a grand chariot.

-A chariot to masquerade. -Got it.

-Bandsets should play everywhere! -Bandsets.

-Bandsets? -I mean, loudspeakers.

Dummy Horse Dance, Peacock Dance...

-Dance of Grace, Pot Dance, Drum Dance. -Pot Dance...

-Drum Dance. -That too?

-Okay, sir. -Two elephants for the reception.

-Will two do? -Yes, it will.

We should serve a meat feast to the guests.

Meat feast for 2,000 people.

-2,000 is it? -Yes!

Gandhi. Kannamma.

Our names etched on a silver plate.

501 goody bags.

A silk saree from Kanchi.

Groom's attire.

-Silk attire for the groom, right? -Yes, perfect.

A gold thaali.

It should look like royalty’s.

Shall we ask the monarchs to give the Kohinoor back?

-Shut it. -Son...

remember when you danced at the event?

You mean a flash mob?

-Yes, include that as well. -Write it down.

Okay, sir. Is that all?

And, just one kid.

And, a child.

-Sir? -Heh.

What do you mean? We can't give one!

No, son. While telling Kannamma’s wishes,

-I misspoke. Sorry. -That's alright.

Sir, there’ll be a theme for both pre- and post-wedding shoots.

-Will it be CSK or RCB? -Sir, I meant theme not a team.

Everything else you mentioned will be taken care of.

Sir, one more thing.

You can buy the thaali yourself. We’ll take you to a good store.

Fix the date, and we’ll take care of the rest.

November 23rd is my mother's birthday.

Can we marry on that day?

We’ll make it a grand event. Hey, note down the date.

November 23rd it is. We've noted it down.

Kannamma...

-your phone's ringing. -Sorry, sir.

I misplaced it here.

You always say this.

-Yes, Gandhi. -Kannamma?

Is what I'm speaking too loud for others to hear?

No, no, it isn't.

-Do you hear it? -No.

-Tell him we don't hear a thing. -They don't hear it.

-Tell me. -Today's tamarind rice...

-was excellent! -Tamarind rice? Oh, my!

Listen carefully.

Make up an excuse and take leave. We’re going out.

-I have a lot of chores. -I'm cutting the call.

What is it? Want a day off?

Just a minute, sir. Geetha...

How much is it?

Everything comes to 40 lakhs.

40 lakhs?

Okay, okay. Sir, it'd cost around 52 lakhs.

52 lakhs?Jamin...

Let’s just rent a few things and do it on our own.

-Asking lumpsum, are you? -I'll be back with the cash, son.

Back with the cash?!

He’s the kind who tries every outfit at a shop

and never buys a thing!

Don’t believe men like this. Damn the elephants and the royalty!

Jamin, I heard you applied for PF?

The manager mentioned.

If you take all the money out now,

what will you do for emergencies?

Yes, Gandhi.

Today's lemon rice is so good!

-Did you have your lunch? -I did, Gandhi.

♫ In your eyes, I see love ♫

♫ On your lips, the warmth of longing ♫

♫ My sorrows scatter and fade ♫

♫ As if they’ve taken wings to fly ♫

♫ Smile for me, won’t you? ♫

♫ Let not your eyes brim with tears ♫

♫ Golden clouds, don’t drift away ♫

♫ My love, don’t torment me so! ♫

Lemon rice, tamarind rice, tomato rice, sambar rice, and curd rice.

Can’t you cook anything other than this?

Didn't you learn anything?

Gandhi didn't ask me to. So, I didn't.

♫ Your daggered glance cuts through me ♫

♫ You ignite fire deep in my heart ♫

♫ Your daggered glance cuts through me ♫

-Didn't I say no? -It's fresh.

-I don't know to cook this. Let go! -I'll do it myself.

♫ I burn, aching, in your flame! ♫

So, you've decided.

They're demanding 52 lakhs.

All you’ve got is 2 lakhs from your PF.

What about the rest of the money?!

That's alright, Sundaram.

The only thing in this world that entices me are the eyes of my Kannamma.

Before our marriage,

I’d seen countless desires in her eyes.

Even at our wedding,

she glanced at me as if all her wishes were fulfilled.

After we married, she never asked for anything,

not even a saree.

After so many years…

Had we had kids, they’d have done something like this for us too, right?

That wasn't just a wish, Sundaram.

She was yearning.

I know one day,

our eyes will rest in eternal sleep.

But, my Kannamma's eyes,

shouldn't rest with this yearning, Sundaram.

I want to fulfill her wishes.

I don't care what happens.

I'll do it.

I'm deciding on this today.

Kannamma.

This is for you.

Looks like he's moving in here.

Smells like my grandma's sock!

-Give it a read, dear. -What is this?

-You too. -Handing out pamphlets, is he?

-This is the will of a land. -Will? Give it to me.

-Do you even read? -What are you, Tolstoy’s master?

Did you steal this from your owner?

It’s not too late. Take it back where you got it from.

You never showed this to us, and we never saw it.

I’ll help you with a fake report to show off.

Use it to spin stories and collect money from strangers.

-Son, why would you? -Perform just like he's doing it now...

-you'll earn in no time. -Kathir?

This will states that the properties

belong to Gandhi Mahaan.

-Jamin? -Yes, it's in his name.

Jamin?

-Give it to me. -I don’t know this either.

So, are you really rich?

Well, Mr. Well-read doesn’t understand the will!

So, did you have a women's lounge at home?

Were there pretty girls around?

Did you bathe in a pool of lotuses?

I'm allergic to lotus, son.

So, you had a lotus pond at home?!

Boss, I've got hold of someone hefty.

-Kathir? -Huh.

His friend might be a problem.

I’ll take care of the oldie, you handle him.

-I'll take care of it. Patlu, come. -Jamin...

-Come on. -I'll drive.

-Do you drive? -I’m a race driver.

Okay, careful.

-Wear your helmet. -That's for cowards. Hop on.

Why is the speedometer running in reverse.

-What do you even weigh? -251 Kgs.

-Oh, my. -Careful.

Honk now.

-But there's no one. -Turn on the right indicator.

-Fine, I'll do it. -Hold on to the brake while driving.

Is that even possible?

The passersby are staring at us!

We don’t drive an ice cream truck to keep honking as we go.

Who’s he honking at, and what’s that indicator for?

Is the headlight on?

Everything is!

-Sir, can I switch on one more thing? -What is it?

The brake!

Oh, my!

-Kathir? -Huh?

This bike isn't baring with the weight.

Can we switch bikes? Come.

He's sitting all rugged and majestic!

All the best, Kathir.

Wear your helmet, son.

-My hairstyle will be ruined. -That's alright!

-Sir! -Today's the end of your friend!

Go on, son. Switch on the headlight.

Why do we even need it in the morning.

Turn on the indicator.

Honk the horn!

If I don’t get this contract, I’ll put a price on your head.

Documents are original,

but the property’s in Coimbatore.

I’ll do it for you.

Take a look at the land first.

I’ll apply for the EC and update you.

Then tell me your expectations,

- and we’ll finalize the deal. - Okay, I'll call you, sir.

If we get this marriage done, we can buy all the materials.

Where's Jamin?

I just called him.

He said he’ll deal with Kannamma and then come.

You’re going to Coimbatore,

with horns blaring and indicators flashing all the way, just trusting his words?

- Madhan! - What?

For this kind of money,

forget the bike,

I’d march on my hands to Coimbatore.

That's your wish, but I'm not coming.

- Hey, he's here. - Jamin?

- Jamin! - Jamin!

- Jamin sir. - Come.

- Welcome! - Welcome Jamin!

- Hey, get his suitcase. - Keep this in the car's bum.

Car's bum?

Jamin, that’s called a boot!

It's the same.

- Jamin! - Kathir!

- Curd rice? - How’d you guess?

It’s not like your wife’s a star hotel chef making a variety of dishes.

She cooks the same four things,

and you still call it delicious.

Go, get in.

It has an indicator?

It did!

But not anymore.

Hey!

He yawns like a horn.

Jamin, I have a question.

Go ahead.

You have so much property in your hometown.

Then why are you working as a security guard?

I was the one who told Kannamma my feelings first.

The people in my town and my relatives said Kannamma was after my money.

That’s when I chose Kannamma over everything and settled here with her.

If I’d sold the property then,

it would’ve proved their claims right.

That’s why.

Hey, enough with the sad theme music. Shall we get going?

Let’s go, bro.”

- Can we wait ten minutes? - Why?

The inauspicious time will be over.

Rama!

- Then let’s wait ten years. - Why?

By then, your time will be over.

Why’s he laughing at such a terrible joke?

You’re hilarious.

- Bro, turn on the indicator. - You turn off your mouth.

Kathir, let’s get freshened up before we go.

Let’s go see the land first.

With all these high-rises coming up,

the value of your land will shoot up.

Jamin, don’t mortgage it.

We’ll sell it at a fair price, I’ll bring the buyer.

Son, my head hurts.

You’ve been craning up at that building, that’s why you’ve got a headache.

Go get him some tea.

Come fast.

Jamin,

isn’t your land just behind this building?”

Not behind.

The building’s on my land.

What?!

Why did you drop the tea?

Did he just prank us?

Duplicate Jamin.

Listen, it’s not too late.

You took us for a ride,

we fell for it. We’ll let it slide.

Now, be honest,

where’d you get the suitcase?

Son, this is my land.

Do I need to prove it?

Please believe me.

What’s he searching in his trunks?

Did ants bite him?

Oh, change!

Here, keep the change.

This already is change!

Jamin!

Is it wrong for Jamin to carry coins?

Get lost,

you build-up crackpot!

- Yes bro. - I checked the EC.

It's in Gandhi Mahaan's name.

- What are you saying? - Yeah, bro.

The old man’s a big shot.

- They’ve built over this place. - What are you saying?

Yeah, bro, looks like we can file a complaint at the police station.

- Don’t rush! - Why, bro?

This seems to be a litigation issue.

Check the builder’s name.

UK Builders.

I know a solid lawyer in Coimbatore.

I’ll set up a meeting for you.

Okay, bro.

I’ll take care of everything. Don’t bring up anything unnecessary.

- Okay, bro. - Okay.

- Greetings! - Where have you been all this time?

It’s been five years since we bought this land.

I’ve asked them to bring the seller here. Wait for some time.

Sir!

Sir, this project is worth at least two hundred crores.

We’ll file a case and get a stay order.

Then we can both wait together.

Dad, Gandhi Mahaan’s brothers,

sold off his land along with theirs and cheated us.

I checked carefully.

The papers are genuine. The mistake is ours.

Not ours, yours.

Did you even check properly?

You can't even complete a small project?

And on top of that, you want to take over our company?

Listen, it’s fine if we lose 10 crores more.

Just make a single payment and get the documents signed.

Sir, coming straight to the point

how much are you offering?

Are you the owner? Let the owner talk.

Name your price.

Gandhi Mahaan.

He’s asking your price, sir.

Sir,

why think so much?

I feel sorry for you.

Let’s settle for ten.

Let’s seal the deal, bro!

That won't be enough, sir.

Ten is not enough? Then what do you have in mind?

Travel expenses,

car service,

advance for Kathir,

and I need to do something for Sundaram.

Sir,

I need 80 lakhs, sir.

Ah, now that's a deal!

- Kathir! - Get lost!

What? What’s the matter?

- What’s the matter? - He is offering you in crores,

and you say 80 lakhs is enough. Are you out of your mind?

Eighty lakhs is more than enough, bro!

I don't know what I'll do with it.

I'm missing Kannamma. Please take me back to her.

Get lost!

Krishna sir,

you know well,

that in a kangaroo court,

the owner’s word is final.

I’ll give him a crore, and the same amount to you as commission.

I like this deal.

Just yesterday,

you said selling the property would only prove your relatives right,

giving speeches like a movie hero.

Now I realize I shouldn’t bother about what they say.

I thought you only brought your heart’s will,

but turns out you brought your actual will too.

- Brilliant! - Kathir!

Kathir, Kannamma, and I used to ride these roads on my Bullet bike.

Hey, that bridge was built just last year. Enough with your stories.

You dragged me to another city as if it were just the next street.

You didn’t even let me freshen up.

- Jamin, hold this. - Hey!

From now on, do only as I say.

♪ Bring the bride and groom together, let the garlands bind forever ♪

Who's calling me at this hour?!

Jamin sir!

- What is it, son? - Hey!

Where are you?

At home!

Whose home?

My home.

Then why are you talking in such a husky voice?

Oh, nothing.

Hey, grandpa!

Hello, Jamin.

- Can you hear me? - He doesn’t seem like a real Jamin.

Hey, did you see his walk?

That’s not a common man’s walk, that’s a king’s stride.

Hey Jamin,where did you put your phone?

What’s that noise?

Hey, say something!

Can you hear me? Hello! Jamin!

Where are you?

In the bathroom.

Bathroom?

What? Jamins never use the bathroom?

You remember what we said, right?

Don't do anything on your own.

Everything should go according to the plan. Do you get it?

You won’t mess it up, right?

Don’t worry, son. I won’t mess it up!

- Gandhi! - What?

Why did you bring me to the temple today?

- It’s not our anniversary. - I just felt like it.

We visit every year, yet the temple stays the same.

With the blessings of Ayodhi Amman.

With the blessings of Royapuram Karumari Amman,

this special fire-walking festival has been held

continuously for sixty years.

We welcome all the devotees gathered here today.

I’ve run this festival for years, and now you hand the contract to Kathir?

That’s not fair.

Letting you run it all these years was useless.

We’ll see about that!

Hey, it wasn’t easy getting this order.

We need to impress them so they’ll give it to us next year too.

We’ll get it, don’t worry.

Hey Kathir!

Jamin! What are you doing here?

Take this cash.

Give advance to everyone.

There shouldn't be any complaints in the event.

Do it well!

- Kannamma! - Go, dance!

Look at him!

There are ten lakhs in this.

Take it and deliver the materials to the godown.

Collect the balance later.

Okay, brother. I’ll take my leave.

Gandhi, cut that out!

Hey Madhan!

Ten lakhs advance has been paid.

- Really? - Yes!

Super!

I’ve asked them to deliver the materials to the godown.

Now we don’t have to depend on anyone. We have our own stock.

From today, we are business owners.

Life’s about to change for the better!

All who took the sacred vow, remember to light the camphor.

Hey, Kathir!

Hey, Kathir!

The town’s in chaos, and you’re dancing.

- What happened? - Look at the news.

Here, take this for yourself.

Brother! brother!

Brother!

Brother!

Breaking news!

The Prime Minister has announced that currency notes of ₹500 and ₹1,000

will cease to be legal tender from midnight tonight.

The decision has left the public in shock and chaos.

[chaos ensues]

Hey Jamin!

Stop your dancing and come here.

Take it!

These thousand-rupee notes are no longer legal tender.

It’s all over the news.

They’re worthless now.

What are you saying?

Had we had kids, they’d have done something like this for us too, right?

That wasn't just a wish, Sundaram.

It was her yearning.

I failed to fulfill anything you asked me, Kannamma.

I hope you’re not upset with me.

I only wished to marry you, Gandhi.

-Jamin, you work at Film City? -Yes, son.

You think he’d be working at Madras University at his age?

Then you must’ve met superstars, right?

Maybe not stars, but he must’ve met some old actresses.

Why are you going off-topic?

I gave the money back.

Why return it to Geetha behind my back?

These notes won’t work, just scraps of paper.

Don’t you watch the news at all?

We’re struggling ourselves after taking the festival contract.

I can’t take this anymore, Jamin.

The event will happen only if you exchange these notes. Let’s go!

I told you not to rely on these boys,

but you never listen, Jamin.

Let's go.

Just allow ten people at a time, sir.

Ask everyone to form a queue.

Come fast, Jamin, don’t delay.

Poor people!

Our very life itself feels like a big deal, yet you pity them.

-Where can I exchange these notes? -It’s right there.

Daily limit is 4,000 rupees.

Many Prime Ministers have ruled India.

He’s asking for only Rs.4000.

Please take it, sir.

Yet no one has made a decision like this.

This is for our nation and our people.

Instead of welcoming it, you’re calling it a topic and debating it.

Then, why are you wasting time here?

♪ A little sparrow pulls a chariot♪

They say the new 2000 note has an electronic chip.

Do you see any politician or celebrity in this line?

♪ I lost my senses and I can’t speak Hindi♪

♪ I Shouted loud, and No Gandhi glasses found♪

♪ I lost my senses and I can’t speak Hindi♪

♪ I Shouted loud, and No Gandhi glasses found♪

It troubles the middle class like us. The rich will somehow get it changed.

The money was valid when I gave it, not my fault it isn’t now.

It’s your job to exchange it.

♪ If you set up and knock me out It isn't a big deal♪

When will you give the balance?

Government said it’s valid at bunks and hospitals.

Why not here?

Government, huh?

Better admit your children to government hospitals then.

♪ Searching for peace like everybody♪

♪ But the new currency is flying high Like a hottie♪

He took the money I saved for my granddaughter’s wedding!

The money we stole from the old man.

Please, wake up, dad.

While exchanging the notes,

nationwide deaths have risen to 55, causing shock.

♪ A stone cut through my dreams♪

♪ And my eyes teared up like a cloud♪

♪ A storm came fierce like a blast♪

♪ The town stook shook in silence♪

What's happening here?

Just leave. Close the shop at once.

I’m already irritated, Jamin.

Don’t ask me for help out of sympathy.

♪ Where's the currency for my suffering?♪

The godown owner keeps calling about the rent.

Only a few days left for the wedding,

but we’re stuck exchanging notes in pieces.

Why not plan it for the 61st instead of the 60th?

Things have gotten worse.

-I’ll give your money back, brother. -Look there, Mani.

Don’t think badly of me, I’m sorry.

-Stop the bike, moron. -Hold on, bro.

What’s wrong, bro?

What’s with the attitude?

When did I do that, bro?

First, get off the bike.

Geetha.

Showing off that…

you've got a girlfriend, huh?

Useless fellow! What are you glaring about?

Take your bike to the street’s end by pushing, not driving.

Got it?

Now, go.

Keep moving.

Go, go.

Look at her go, like a red siren.

You could have at least fought back.

One day, we’ll do it all the way.

Who are you talking about?

Have you ever been late in all these years?

Sundaram, the one you referred to me, never comes on time.

He makes excuses like a little schoolboy.

Leave it, man. Just step aside.

-Do you know who he is? -Who is he?

He’s the producer of the latest release.

Now he's out of films, and into finance deals.

-Money stuff? -Yeah, man.

He uses our old notes for movies, pays us back in new ones.

Not sure if it’s real, but people are talking.

Stop honking, I’ll be back.

Why are there cops everywhere?

Because of demonetisation, they've tightened security measures.

All this is just a search for big money.

Scams are everywhere these days.

Fine, I’ll get down right here.

I need to have some tea.

If not this year, let’s plan for the same date next year.

It’s not a birthday, it’s my wife’s baby shower.

I trust you completely. You should trust yourself too.

You have the potential to pull this off every year.

You hang up. I’ll deal with him and call later.

Everyone’s demanding their advances back.

If it goes like this, no events will happen for two months.

I already used the material money to pay the advances.

I still need 15 lakhs more.

Don’t worry Kathir, it’ll settle in 50 days.

Why is he calling now?

-Yes, man. Tell me. -Where are you, dear?

I'm in my area.

I heard about a producer who exchanges old notes by making films.

Believing that, I brought the money.

How much cash did you bring?

Five lakhs, kept in my side pocket.

Only five lakhs.

We’ll take three guys, share it, and bring safely.

No one's going to check the pockets.

-Okay? -Kathir, Since five lakhs fit in the pocket,

I decided to carry the entire money with me.

-You brought all the cash? -Yeah, dear.

-Ninety lakhs?! -Yes, son.

What on earth did you do?

-Where are you right now? -At a tea stall near Royapuram.

Stay there, have some tea, I’ll come.

Please don’t do anything stupid.

One tea, please.

One special tea, please.

Faizal, check the vehicles in the back.

Coming, sir.

Look at the innocent face he's making.

You’re stranded on the road believing a producer's word.

So, you believe that you can make a movie,

collect the money, and hold the event in no time?

I'm wondering how you were a security for these many years in the industry.

Enough. Stop now!

I don’t know what to do, they’re checking everywhere.

I’m powerless, Jamin.

Only God can save you now.

We request the devotees to return to the temple and finish their impending rituals.

Time is running out, devotees with impending rituals please return.

[group chants mantra]

Dear Lord, we march to Sabarimala!

Don’t overdo it, man.

You’ll end up at Chinnamala station, not Sabarimala.

There’s three lakhs in this.

Please don’t get me wrong, Jamin.

Have some patience.

It's okay.

I pulled two lakhs from my PF.

I was informed that I can withdraw from it, so I did.

I also withdrew ₹40,000 from my account.

Altogether, it adds up to three lakhs.

There you go.

Manage with it, I’ll get the rest.

This amount won’t cover the marriage you imagined, Jamin.

Tell me, which bank is your account in?

IDOM Bank.

We hosted an event for the bank manager, Kathir.

Remember?

Yes, right. You’re close to him.

- Try talking to him. - Let's try, Jamin.

You look just like a laughing buddha, sir.

Do you remember me, Sankaracharya sir?

How can I forget you?

Aren’t you the one who got a toe ring

instead of engagement rings for my daughter’s function?

Wow, he still remembers it!

Kathir, can I do the talking?

-Need a small favor, sir. -What is it?

-I want to exchange this cash, sir. -How much?

-It’s 90 lakhs, sir. -Ninety lakhs, huh?

This isn't like exchanging rings at an engagement.

It's money exchange.

Sir, I did make a mistake. But please don't keep bringing it up.

90 lakhs is quite a huge sum.

Is this black money?

This is proper color money, sir.

Stop talking, man.

Without documents, nothing is possible.

Aren't there other ways?

How about you use the way you came to get back!

Just leave.

Let’s just go, Jamin.

Wonder which rich guy they work for!

We'll see.

Then how do we change the notes, Kathir?

Jamin…

Can we postpone the wedding by two months?

No matter how hard a man works,

wives always find faults.

They never realize we struggle for their sake.

That’s why being single like me gives real peace.

So, you overheard us only to say this stupid line?

-You came here to exchange notes? -You think banks are for changing names?

The manager told me to bring you, so follow me.

Just follow me.

Come on, brother.

Do we really have to go, son?

You're the one who agreed.

I did say yes.

-But I'm getting hungry. -Don’t worry, we can eat.

Okay, let’s go.

Why take us to a theatre, man?

Even if it’s a bathroom, I’ll take you.

Do you want the exchange or not?

-Hey Kutti Mani… -Greetings, brother.

Brother, your navel's bleeding.

You!

What film is it?

What matters more, the film or the money?

Definitely the money.

[movie plays]

Did he step on his own feet?

What are you even doing?

Ask him to shut it.

-Brother, your ear is bleeding. -My ear’s bleeding?

That’s amazing.

Who’s the client?

-What’s the amount? -Only 120 rupees.

I didn’t mean the ticket price, I asked the amount.

Ninety!

-Ninety thousand? -No, ninety lakhs!

You mean ninety lakhs?

His face doesn’t look like it's worth ninety lakhs.

I’ve seen it, sir.

Do you have a twenty?

-You mean twenty lakhs? -No, no, only twenty rupees.

Why?

Just for a tea? My head aches.

First tell me, do you really have ninety lakhs?

It’s all in 2000 rupee notes. I don't have change.

Keep 72 lakhs ready for L3.

Sir, the total is 90 lakhs.

I know, but, the commission is 20%,

and some goes to manager. A lot of process is involved.

Don’t overthink.

Do it if you want to, else leave.

Sir, sir…

Brother, please wait.

Sir, that’s fine.

Get the cash ready, man. I’ll be there.

Brother, the cops are here. Let’s run!

Money's important. Tell him to take it out safely.

Kathir, take Jamin carefully.

How’s that Chinese heroine, Jamin?

She’s pretty, man.

-The police just entered, man. -They haven’t entered yet, bro.

They’ve entered the theatre, man.

Get up, man.

Even standing up takes ages for you.

-Keep running! -Don’t stop, go!

-Hurry up, Jamin. -Faster, Kathir.

Damn, they’re here!

Run! The police are here!

Come quickly.

Speed up, oldie.

Hold on, you.

-Hurry up. -Fast, fast.

Don’t stop, Jamin.

Keep going, man.

Just hear me out, brother.

Your foot is bleeding.

This isn’t the time for jokes.

Let's get inside this street. Hurry up.

Head this way. Catch everyone.

You rascal, stop!

We can’t drag this out.

Jamin, you can't sit now.

We need to run now, jamin.

How can you even sit on an unevenly parked bike?

Are you really that heartless?

Damn, even a stranger is cursing you.

The police are closing in, quick!

Walking with you feels like pushing a truck.

This way looks safe, let’s go.

Don’t slow down, go quick.

We’ll get caught on that side.

Come, we’ll hide in here.

How to hide you?

Whose house is this? We don’t even know!

Kathir, come in. Where are the others?

Don’t worry, the police won’t step inside this area.

Thanks, bhai. Your biryani smells divine.

Stop mocking, we just had porridge today.

The last time I ran this fast was when I eloped to get married.

Even now, you're running for your marriage.

At least the food didn't get spilled.

Food?

You mean curries and veggies?

No, it's curd rice.

Curd rice, really?

Check on the money, dumbhead.

The money is still at home.

It was too heavy to carry.

You left it at home?

Then why were you running?

I didn’t run, you people made me.

[tv plays]

Kannamma, nothing can beat your cooking.

All this for a box of curd rice?

Kathir, open the pickle for me.

Tear it open.

Don't do it with your teeth.

Squeeze tight.

Give it a squeeze!

Thanks a lot.

Kannamma…

The curd rice is excellent, dear.

I’ll hang up.

-How’s the pickle? -Yes, tastes good.

The company’s number is on the cover, call and tell them.

What is this, dear?

I agree you two are love birds.

I’ve noticed since the day you came.

Every day, it’s the same curd rice, tamarind rice, tomato rice.

But you keep praising Kannamma.

Isn’t that a bit much?

Son…

When you dine at a hotel…

how much do you tip the waiter?

Around five or ten rupees.

You give money to strangers.

But if you can't value your wife’s cooking,

Why the hell would you marry someone?

Well, we aren't.

Stop talking low about Kannamma’s food.

Useless fellow.

Why are you reacting like this?

Fine, tell her that the tomato rice I ate the other day was great.

You reformed real quick.

Stop talking nonsense.

Right!

Kathir, I’ve got an idea.

Can we deposit the cash and settle the vendors with cheques?

I could’ve done it, if that land was sold legally.

Then let’s pay the vendors the full amount as advance.

Will they really take it?

Please, son.

Hey!

Let’s give it a shot.

This plan is failing.

No one is accepting the old notes.

I was able to exchange only five lakhs.

Are the lines checked thoroughly?

Hey, some of the lights aren't even on.

Inspect the back line well.

Yes, Jamin.

Sundaram said there’s a place exchanging money for 35%.

What if we try there?

Did you forget about our little chase with the police?

Some gangs loot people under the pretense of exchange.

Without money, forget even a temple wedding.

I’ll manage the exchange, hang up, now.

Why are you scaring him?

Let’s try where he suggested.

Where’s the profit for us?

Kathir?

I feel like we’re making a mistake.

What’s wrong in this?

I’m not cheating,

only using the opportunity.

Shoo away the jealous skies, No curse can dim these ties!

Spit on it.

Where’s the bindi on your forehead?

You run off without a word these days.

-I just forgot. -Hold it a second.

Careful there.

Give it to me.

No curse can dim these ties, Love protects from evil eyes.

Spit on it.

-Geetha called. -Oh!

Since the marriage is in two days,

she wanted to do something to my face.

Will you come there after work?

Sure, Kannamma.

Hey! Careful.

He's punching him right in the face.

He looks huge!

Who are you two?

-We're here to exchange money. -Money?!

How much?

Eighty lakhs.

I get a 40% commission.

Is that okay?

Forty?

The deal’s only if it’s 40%. Otherwise, get lost.

-Useless morons! -This isn't working out.

I know a place that charges only 25%.

I'm going there. You go to the parlor.

Why isn't he answering the calls?

We went to exchange money.

Where did you guys go?

To the Roof Bar. They wanted 40%.

Kathir said the commission’s too high and he knows a place that charges less.

Alright. You go inside.

Hello, Jamin.

Facial? Looks like lice picking to me.

Geetha…

-Geetha? -Yes, Aunty.

Do you need something?

The wedding is in two days.

I wonder if he managed to exchange the money.

Everything's going as planned, right?

Don't tell her.

Dear?

Everything is good.

Kathir is there too. He'll take care of it.

I didn’t ask Gandhi, trusting that you all will manage.

It's been a while. Is Gandhi back?

Geetha?

I'll be right back, Aunty.

Jamin's helmet is here. But where is he?

Hey, what happened?

Where's Gandhi?

Why do you have his helmet?

Kathir…

It's been a while and we still haven't found Gandhi.

Why don't we file a police complaint?

[phone rings]

Hello?

Yes, tell me.

Okay, sir. I'll be there shortly.

Thank God the police saw us. Else, things would’ve gotten tough.

-What's your name? -Saravanan, sir.

-Sir? -What?

-I got a call from the station. -For what?

-Regarding Gandhi missing case… -Go. Sit down.

List all your details, add your bike’s photo, and submit a complaint.

-How much? -Eighty, sir.

Fifty percent commission.

-Deal? -Sounds good, sir.

-Sir, I need the money immediately. -Right now?

-Hey! -Brother?

They’re the bank robbers, aren’t they?

Fetch forty pink notes.

Sir, we can do it tomorrow.

-We’ll seal the deal tomorrow. -Sir, let’s discuss it first.

Hey! Stop right there.

Can't you hear me? Stop, man!

We can work out a deal.

-Hey! Catch him. -Stop, man!

Hey, oldie!

Damn it.

Hey!

-Hey, man! -Damn it! You missed him!

Jamin!

Jamin!

His bike isn’t there.

[phone rings]

His phone’s at home.

Happy birthday, man!

Please move, brother. Sorry, bro.

Brother! Kathir is here.

Mani? Did you see that?

Look at him roaming so fearlessly before us.

We gotta put him in his place, Mani.

We shouldn’t be cool with this.

-Kathir? -Tell me.

Gandhi left his phone at home, man.

Pretty sure he came back home and headed out.

Something feels off, man.

I looked for him at the bar.

But no sign of him.

Look everywhere possible. I’ll try from my end.

He must be somewhere near.

Why is Jamin's bike parked here?

Where the hell is that man?

Not there, dude!

Search! Look everywhere.

Hey! Look over there.

Hey! Hey! Found him!

[all] Come on! Come on! Come fast! Come here.

Hey! Hey!

What are you waiting for? Snatch the bag from him!

-Give me the bag! Hey! -Don't show any mercy. Get the bag!

Grab the bag from that oldie.

Leave me alone.

No… Don't!

Let go!

I won't give it to you!

Oh dear God…

Get lost, all of you!

My dreams went down the drain.

Oh God!

Hey!

I won't let go.

This is my bag. I won't give it to you.

Trying to snatch from an old man?

Die, you!

Mani brother?!

-What, brother? -Who’s your brother, huh?

What the hell is your problem?

Brother… brother… Please. I beg you!

-Get lost! -Let him go. He's a poor soul.

-Hey, man… -Who the heck are you?

-Get up, man. -What the hell is going on?

didn't I warn you enough?

Get up, man.

Please.

-Who are you? -Let’s leave before more people get here.

Come on.

Please, stand up.

Come on, man.

How many times must I say it? Don’t go out alone with the cash!

Why won't you listen to me?

Damn flunky! You trying to mess with my job?

Die!

How dare you call me a flunky?

You think I am a flunky?

You're calling me a slave dog?

Hey!

Jamin, you glasses are broken, right?

Throw them away.

Let's get you a new one.

Son…

My Kannamma bought me this.

Hey! What's with all the 'Kannamma' talk?

Like you’re the only lovers on earth!

So close to the grave, and all you’ve got is love talk?

Love, affection, lust.

Laughs and fights.

Tears and hatred.

If you throw every emotion at them

and still choose them,

that’s love, you idiot!

That's love.

Geetha, can you call him?

-Yes, ma'am. -I don't feel good.

Kathir?

Careful, Jamin.

-What happened, brother? Oh God! -Nothing.

What the hell?

Why are you in such a condition?

Aunty, he slipped and fell from the bike.

What? You fell from the bike?

Why were you in a hurry?

Where the hell did you go? Tell me that.

You even forgot your helmet.

At least you could’ve told him-- Look, the kid’s hurt!

-Nothing major, aunty. -What do you mean?

Do you even know how awful you both look?

Look at them, Geetha. What is this?

I'm going crazy.

Wait here. I'll be back.

Hey, what happened?

Do you know how many times I’ve called?

Why didn't you answer the call?

Throw this thing away.

Come on!

It's all because of this.

Come over here.

Come, son.

God knows who cast the evil eye on you.

Come inside.

I'll prepare some hot water for you.

Kannamma?

Just two days left for our wedding.

Go to sleep.

Or you’ll end up with dark circles.

Are you acting?

I know.

Your body is aching, right?

But, I have you beside me.

There’s no electricity.

I feel like listening to music.

♪ By your ear, I whisper love’s melody ♪

♪ To your heart, I confess in soft words ♪

♪ Through your gaze, I tease and play ♪

♪ In your lap, I find eternal rest ♪

What?

He told you not to come?

Wait.

Hey, why are you wearing make-up?

Oh? So that’s why you told the artist not to come?

All this for just 5,000 rupees?

Not for money.

Then? Why are you doing this?

Didn’t even bother to tell before leaving?

What the hell is your problem?

Do whatever you want. I'm leaving.

Kathir?

What is it, son?

You got your mask on?

Son, there’s 95,000 rupees in here.

You know how handsome my Gandhi would look riding a bullet bike?

After our marriage,

all he had was a cycle to ride.

I started working just to buy Gandhi a Bullet.

But Gandhi never liked me going to work.

Know something? Those days, a bike cost just 18,000 rupees.

I started saving little by little

and one day when I took it to the store…

The bike was 60,000 rupees!

As the rates kept increasing…

my dream of seeing him ride it faded away.

I mean… what are we going to do with it anyway…

What a fool I’ve been.

One day…

Without much thought, I said I wanted a ‘grand wedding.’

And now,

he's made it his life's mission to make it happen.

If this wedding doesn't happen,

Gandhi will be shattered.

Listen to me,

I'm sure you can put this money to use.

You don't have to do so much.

Just decorate the temple 'round the corner and we'll get married there.

But…

It must happen.

The wedding must happen.

As I would my own son, I beg you.

Please…

Please make it happen by any means.

Ah, I almost forgot.

Dear boy…

Can I ask something of you? I hope you don't mind.

Can I take just a 1,000 out from this?

He… he broke his glasses, you know?

Thank you.

Convince him for me, please, dear.

Do you realize what you’ve done?

Of course, you wouldn't.

Since all you cared about was money,

she gave her all to you.

Go on.

Now it's yours.

You could’ve easily exchanged those notes if you wanted.

How does that commission matter to you?

Or did you plan to profit off from it?

You're capable of doing that too.

I really wonder

if I was around only to work for you without a pay!

Can I ask you something?

Do you remember the last time you told me that you loved me?

Or held my hand?

Answer this, at least.

Am I even wearing a bindi?

Am I wearing a pair of studs?

Fine.

At least, tell me what color is my dress?

Go on, tell me!

Nowadays, forget admiring me,

you don't even take notice of me!

Say yes once, and you forget us just like that.

Kathir…

Your father who abandoned your mother and you…

You, who always put yourself above everyone else,

are no different.

I'm sorry…

…but it's over.

Now, I have countless reasons

why I don't like you anymore.

♪ Your daggered glance cuts through me ♪

♪ You ignite fire deep in my heart ♪

Geetha?

Geetha!

Wait!

Stop!

I was talking to you!

What do you want?

You wore a black salwar set yesterday. The day before, an orange saree.

Before that, a red salwar set.

And on Monday, you wore gold earrings with red gemstones.

It's not that I didn't take notice.

Everything we do… it’s for you, but you’ll never see it.

Gandhi was right.

My parents fell in love and married each other.

It's not like you don't know.

My dad left Mom because he couldn’t provide for us.

My mom passed away, in the hopes that they'll reunite.

All of this is because of cash.

If I was born from money,

my dad would've been with us and my mom, still alive.

That's when I made up my mind…

…money does solve everything.

I decided to become greedy

and that's when…

It's not like I stole from anyone and made a living.

It was all honest work.

I agree I am stingy when it comes to money affairs.

All you girls have the same expectation from your partners.

"How are you going to take care of me in the future?"

I’m not doing this for my sake.

I just didn't want…

…you to suffer like my mother did.

What I endured as a child,

I didn't want my kid to feel the same.

That was my intention.

But you…

You never understood me.

Didn't you say

you had countless reasons to not like me?

I'm done.

Kathir…

Money is important, I understand.

Don’t let money make you lose

those who truly care.

Kathir?

Why did you ask me to meet you here?

What's this?

Kannamma's thaali.

Aunty?

What are you doing here this early?

Is Jamin at home?

He's inside.

-I'll be right with you. -Let's go.

Come in. Don't worry.

-Jamin? -Jamin!

Wake up, Jamin.

See what I brought for you!

Jamin?

Jamin!

Jamin?!

What's wrong?

Aunty!

He's gone?

He’d often say he wanted to go first, before I did.

He went away in his sleep, huh?

He died a peaceful one.

Kathir?

I…

I don't know what to do next.

Gandhi always saw you as his son.

Can you…

Can you perform his last rites?

Sure.

Kathir…

What happened?

What's next?

The wedding.

Say what?

Just like the song 'Rajavin Paarvai' from 'Anbe Vaa,'

Kannamma and I want to ride

on a chariot, masquerading through our town.

I want banana trees tied at the entrance of my house

with a 'Welcome' board too!

I want flowers decorated all over,

with a band set, all charged up to play!

Then, I want dancers of Dummy Horse, Dance of Grace, Pot Dance,

and Drum Dance to perform.

Hey…

Remember when you danced at the event?

-You mean a flash mob? -Yes, include that as well.

A gold thaali.

It should look like royalty’s.

Can we take the body?

Hang on.

Kathir…

Jamin…

Sundaram?

Sundaram!

Hold on a second.

You look really good, Gandhi.

The entire town's evil eyes is on you.

Shoo away the jealous stares.

No curse can dim these bonds.

Love protects against evil eyes.

No spell can break or bind.

Love guards both soul and mind.

You spend a lot to ward off evil eyes, right?

Come on, Gandhi.

You always said, "You're there."

I'm here now.

But you’re not there.

Gandhi…

This can't be happening!

No, no. Don't!

Don't take him away! Don't do it!

No! No!

You can't take him!

Ask them not to. Please!

Don't! I won't let you take him!

Kannamma…

Kannamma?

Kannamma!

Kannamma?

Kannamma is missing.

What?!

Are you serious?

Did you check the whole house?

I did, but she's nowhere.

-Why didn't you stay with her? -I'll check that side.

-Why did you leave her side? -Kannamma?

-Kannamma? -Kannamma!

-Kannamma… -Kannamma!

Aunty?!

I even enquired at her work place. No one knows anything.

The body is unidentifiable.

Ask Shiva, the sketch artist to come.

-Okay, sir. -Let's give it a try.

Sir, they're here about the missing child case.

Oh!

How was Gandhi related to you?

We run an orphanage, sir.

Someone left the baby at our orphanage four years ago, sir.

We've been taking care of him since then.

So, you're Kathir.

Yes, sir.

Shouldn't you have been more careful?

You should be thankful that he had your number.

Otherwise it would've been very difficult.

Give a written statement and take the child.

Thank you, sir.

Let me go.

Kathir…

Gandhi?

-Where did you run off to? -Where did you go?

-Geetha! -Hi!

How are you, dear?

-Where did you go? -What? We were right here!

Get changed and we'll move to the next shoot.

Kathir.

Why are you looking dull?

It's been nine years… since Gandhi left us.

I'm still searching for Kannamma.

Day after day, I wait, wondering if Kannamma will be brought to our ashram.

I sometimes feel guilty, Geetha.

If only I’d run after Tiger,

Kannamma would be here with us.

It hurts.

We've never stopped looking for her.

We'll surely find Kannamma.

Don't feel guilty!

Geetha…

I wanted to ask you something. Can I?

Shall we adopt this child after two years?

Huh?!

This might be why

he came into our lives.

After Jamin left us,

I understood one thing.

We should help immediately

when someone asks,

if we can.

Maybe…

They were sent to us on purpose.

A 65 year old woman, has been found dead

on the streets of Kanyakumari.

When the public was asked about her… Tell us, sir.

She's been living here for a few years now.

She kept wandering lameting about exchanging notes and Gandhi.

We don't really know her.

We thought she carried her clothes in that bag.

But we didn't realize she had so much cash.
