Hmm? -ಟಿ ತಗೋಳಿ

'Shivu...'

'Sometimes in life, some steps we must take alone'

'Appa...'

'The most powerful weapon in my life'

'Father's an emotion'

'Perfection'

'A kind of celebration'

'Be it people or things, we never see their real value while they're with us'

'It's only when they're gone, we realize their value'

'The pain at that moment, no one can endure it'

'To gain a person is easy, to lose them is easy too'

'But the space between, keeping it together that's the toughest part'

'Major Muthanna'

Shivu...

Shivu...

Uff!

Shivu!

Aiyo!

Your highness Shivu!

'He's my father, Muthanna'

'Retired military officer'

Hey?

Where did he go?

Uh...

Hey Shivu!

'Everyone calls their father by a loving name'

'and I call him Captain'

Argh! Where did he disappear?

Can't do my morning dump without coffee!

Darn!

What kind of a son is he!

Captain...

Oh!

Looks like Captain's already up

Where did he go?

Huh?

Uh! Good morning, Captain!

Hmm!

Why's Captain so grumpy first thing in the morning?

Oh-oh!

Is it the coffee delay that's got you?

I'll make it quick, hot and fresh for you!

Darn it!

Hot, steaming coffee is ready!

Here you go, Captain!

You can't be mad at me for something this small!

I'm not mad at you

Then... what?

Hello...

H-Hey, listen...

This anger doesn't match your disciplined soldier's face!

Because today's the wedding anniversary of my dearest Muthanna and Rathnamma!

You should be all smiles today, Captain!

No sulking now, come on!

Come on, cheer up!

Hey, stop!

I've got coffee in hand! -Cheer up a little!

Come on, cheer up I say!

Look at you, you look so good when happy like this!

You should keep smiling always!

Okay, now drink this coffee quickly

I'll get your bath ready

Same old, same old! Let's both go out today

Alright! Now drink up fast

Captain -Huh?

There's this super song, wanna hear it?

Come on, listen to this -Okay, let me hear it!

Why Captain? What's wrong?

I already know this one!

'Women are strong, the world's beginning and end'

'japala med and jamoon served to the bear'

Same one, no?

Ha!

That man, he's such a su-

Captain, this song's perfect for our situation!

Shall we get everyone to listen?

Yippee-yeah!

'You monkey fellow'

'Don't you cry just shut up'

'Tell this to your own self'

'Every now and again'

'Be happy on repeat, leave no gap for worry'

'Take it easy in life, get super busy, bro!'

'Even your itch has to wait'

'You monkey fellow'

'Don't you cry just shut up'

'Tell this to your own self'

'Every now and again'

'Be happy on repeat, leave no gap for worry'

'Take it easy in life, get super busy, bro!'

'Even your itch has to wait'

'Sometimes God, for no reason'

'Pokes just the good ones with a twist of fate'

'Even if the good die hungry'

'He fills the hands of the bad ones with ladoos'

'Even with everything, something is missing'

'To a lonely cheek, even tears can become kisses'

'Take it easy in life, let the smile roll'

'There's a solution for everything, every time!'

'No one's there for anyone, you're your all'

'There's a wine shop not far'

'For me, my father is my strength'

'and for him, the greatest strength is my mother, Rathnamma'

'I gave him a surprise gift for his wedding anniversary'

'but it ended up being a surprise for me!'

What's this empty board? Nothing on it?

Yeah, it's all empty right now

If you just sprinkle this

your colorful mood will bloom

All your sweet old memories will come right in front of your eyes!

Really? -Hmm!

Come on!

Ta-da!

Huh?

Hey, what's this?

Shocked, huh? You should be, obviously!

Who else but me would gift you something like this, Captain?

Does it look like your wife Rathnamma jumped out of the photo?

Forget that, just look at the drawing first!

What's wrong with it?

Huh?!

Who's this big-time beauty?

Huh?

Oh no! Told him to sketch Rathnamma and he drew some queen instead...

Oh no! I hyped it up way too much in front of Captain!

What's this huh?

Ay! Nothing!

I gave you this surprise just to make you a little anxious!

Eh?

Do you know how Rathnamma looked when she was 18?

Ha! I imagined it and got it painted!

Crazy, huh?

Even you wouldn't have seen her, so take a look!

Impressive, no?

Oh yeah, you are totally impressive!

From this, it's clear

this 'surprise gift' surprised you more than me!

Uh..

Let it be! If you go fetch the drinks from the fridge

that'll be a real surprise for me!

Okay?

Oh-oh!

Claiming it's Rathnamma! Just fooling me!

Hmm-hmm!

Drinks always on his mind!

That damn painter messed the whole plan!

I'll deal with him later

I hyped this as a huge surprise

Fine, I'll handle this

Captain, what are you looking for there? Drinks are here, come on!

Eh?

What's wrong with him?

What happened, Captain?

When loved ones go far

bloody memories become painfully near

She came to my mind suddenly

Life without her... doesn't feel like life at all

Who said my mother's not with us?

She's always with us

Listen, it's your wedding anniversary today

If you don't wish her and raise a toast, won't she feel bad?

Come on now

Aiyo! Just come, Captain!

Sit down

Ah!

Ayy, cheers!

This is drinking time, Captain! Not sentimental time!

Drink up

Um...

Uncle...

ಅಯ್ಯೋ ಪೆಪ್ಪರ್ ಮಿಂಟ್ ಹೊಯ್ತಲ್ಲ!

Alright, I'll ask him

Okay, Uncle

'I brew coffee, and serve it to my Captain'

Captain!

Here you go, piping hot coffee!

Thank you!

Give me that newspaper!

So, what's cooking in the news today?

Same old!

Nothing exciting? -Not a thing!

Sigh!

Oh-ho!

Check out this news, Captain!

'Lone elderly man brutally stabbed 48 times to death!'

So sad..

Why are you getting tensed?

You've got me, no?

Uh..

Go see who's at the door

Who else! Must be your doctor

Roll up your sleeve for the injection!

I'm ever ready for that!

Hi!

Hello!

Hello!

Shivu!

Hello, what's wrong? -Who is it?

You are?

Uh... hi, Uncle!

My name's Sakshi

Actually, Doctor Chandrashekar's busy today, so he sent me instead

Come on in, please!

Hello? -Uh?

She's a doctor, here to check on me

As if you're some big hero! -Come in, please

I'm warning you again, no eating sweets

Nope, not touching them at all!

And take your tablets without fail

No way, absolutely not!

Okay Uncle, I'll leave now -Alright

Don't forget what I told you -Tell the doctor I asked about him

Hello, hello!

Hello, 1, 2, 3! Hello, hello!

Captain! Captain! Captain!

Oh my my!

What is it?

You got it?

Got what?

Wait, I'll show you!

Uh?!

'She's my own'

'My very own!'

'The one who stepped into my home!'

Oh dear me!

What's even happening in my life?

Aha!

Captain, look at this!

Uh... who's she?

The doctor lady!

Oh my goodness!

So you were right!

Not 'so you were right'!

You were making fun of me yesterday

Now see?

Asked that painter to make Rathnamma's portrait

but he sketched her daughter-in-law instead!

What a coincidence!

Ahhh! Now this picture feels alive!

I'll cook up a sweet plan to bring her into my life!

You just mind your medicines and rest!

Okay, you naughty fellow!

Shivu...

Shivu...

Where did he go?

Uh...

Whatever!

He'll come back, where else would he go?

'Love at first sight'

'it damn happens to only middle-class guys like me'

'Never thought an accidental photo would come to life so quickly!'

Hi!

Aargh...

Sigh!

It's already 8:30 and still no sign of her

Hey...

Sakshi! -Sorry, really sorry!

Little late! Sorry!

That's fine

I know how your work is

But you know I get anxious till you're back

Come on now

Father, did you have dinner?

'Eating without my daughter? Never in my life!' (In unison)

That same old dialogue again? Try something new!

It's already so late, you didn't eat yet?

Come on now

Listen, my girl

When an innocent daughter steps out of home

for a father, forget a grain of rice, even a drop of water feels heavy to swallow!

After a daughter steps out and until she returns

a father's heart just won't rest

You won't understand all that

Now go freshen up

I'll be waiting -Hmm, okay

Don't take long

Here

Come on, dear

Tell me this, Father

even after I've grown this big, you still feed me with your own hands every day

Don't you ever get bored of it?

No matter how tall kids grow, to parents they'll always be little ones, dear

Just wait, Father

Once my medical training is done

I'll tick off both your wish of me being a doctor and my wish of settling abroad!

Hmm-hmm

First, tick off my wish of you eating properly on time

Dr. Sakshi Sathyamurthy!

'How's all this even possible?'

'Is Captain asleep already?'

'Let me check'

'Yep, fast asleep!'

Ah!?

Hey!

Shivu...

What's the matter? Not getting sleep, huh?

No, Captain!

I was just thinking, I got an X-ray for chest pain

what a nice picture it turned out to be!

Hmm!

Damn fixed, no doubt!

When you're in love, it's all Dairy Milk sweetness!

After marriage, it's milk runs to the dairy

You're ready to get pampered into disaster!

What do you mean?

Are you saying falling in love is wrong?

No, love's not wrong

Anyway, after marriage, you'll do the 'wrong'

Stop it, Captain!

Love is felt in the heart, not behind bushes in secret!

How would you know?

You people are from the arranged marriage era!

But we young folks arrange our own love and live it fully!

Right, right!

Smart ones go for arranged marriage

The over smart ones go for love marriage

Few days later, you realise being oversmart is not good!

Are you saying you never loved anyone before marriage, huh?

Oh, now he's on that topic!

Oh no no! What the heck!

At this hour, you're waking up my old black-and-white memories!

Uff!

Will you stop! -Huh?

So you actually had a love story too!

Ay! Captain, Captain!

Ah, no! I'm too shy -Please, Captain, tell me your story!

Come on, tell me! Please, Captain!

Please, Captain, tell!

Tell me, come on!

Listen carefully, okay?

You young folks these days, you just fall for pretty faces!

Back in our times, it wasn't like that! -Then how was it?

We didn't even see each other's faces

that was our kind of love!

Oh, I see!

Year was 1975

January 20th

It was the season of rains

I was just walking on the road

and suddenly it started raining heavily!

Oh no!

I paused, thinking, 'Whoa, what's this?'

Hey, Cap-

And bam! Hiccups started!

Oh, okay okay!

Rain and hiccups at the same time!

I cupped some rainwater in my hand

and gulped it all down

Still the hiccups wouldn't stop!

Hiccupping all the way, I hurried home

I woke up my grandma

And told her what had just happened

My grandma said in her cracked voice, 'Someone must be thinking about you!'

I was like, 'Grandma, what the heck! Who else is there to think of me'

'other than you!'

You know what my grandma said next? -What did she say?

'The one you're meant to marry, the one who loves you, must be thinking of you'

she said and messed my mind!

Vah! -Ay!

'Someone out there in the world is meant to love me'

'And they're waiting for me'

'And I will find them for sure!'

I felt this rock-solid confidence!

I looked everywhere, all over the world, really!

What? All over the world?

I meant all over Karnataka!

Say that clearly!

My confidence was rock-solid!

The girl of my dreams was out there somewhere!

I started searching for my love

Those were the days of endless hiccups!

Oh! -Ha!

Whenever it rained, the hiccups would start!

Right in front of me.. A girl would appear!

Really? -And I...

She'd be gone before I could speak

Now, listen carefully!

Rain and hiccups were the witnesses to my love!

She'd appear every time the hiccups came

And it went on like that for a long time

My heart was overflowing with love!

Then, one day... the hiccups stopped!

Oh no! What happened after that?

Hiccups just stopped, you know!

No rain, no hiccups!

So much tension, tension, tension!

I searched far and wide across the world for the girl of my heart!

Bus stand, auto stand, car stand...

Every single 'stand' out there!

Sooo sooo sooo... I searched all over for her

But couldn't find her anywhere

One day, I was sitting at a tea stall, sipping my tea

I glanced around and spotted the Prajavani newspaper

I picked it up, and what I saw... shocked me!

What was in it?

'Tragic Twist: Water to Stop Hiccups Claims Life!'

So sad!

It was that very girl, my love! -Oh no!

Really?

Hmm, yes

What a cruel twist of fate!

That moment confirmed it!

That girl who loved me

my love in this world

lost her life like that

Oh my gaaawd, sooo saaad!

In love, one-sided is okay, and two-sided is okay too

but suicide... that's really dangerous!

Never should it happen! -Correct

Hearing my tragic story, don't get all mixed up

Captain...

Good night!

Don't feel bad

Don't curl up under the bedsheet crying

Go, sleep now

Hit the bed

Don't feel bad

Good night!

What a love story!

Poor captain!

His heart got squeezed like a lemon

Hmm!

Hmm?

This story feels familiar!

Huh?!

Isn't this 'Ee Preethi Yeke Bhoomi Melide' movie story?

Caaaptaaaain!

Captain!

Captain...

Uh..

Sleep well now!

I'll deal with you in the morning!

'Why does love exist on this Earth?'

'Couldn't it exist somewhere else...'

Oh my my my!

Vah vah vah! Payasam, Uppittu!

Kesari Bath!

Chitranna!

All this feast just for my tiny little story!

Oh oh oh! You're awake! Come, sit

I told you one so-so-so story last night

and you're treating me so big!

Had I told you my military gun-battle tales

I can't even imagine the variety you'd have whipped up!

Oh really?

You spun 'Ee Preethi Yeke Bhoomi Melide' movie story like it was yours!

You thought I wouldn't find out?

Oh, you found out, huh?

Careful! If director Prems finds out

he'll come after you and beat the heck out of you!

Hey no! He's a Mandya chap, good fellow!

He won't do that!

But I'm not letting you!

Because this one, this one, and that one

are all for me!

And for you, today's special!

Please taste this and tell me how it is

You mean this ragi porridge?

Hmm! -Damn it!

Get lost! Who's gonna drink this!

I'm not touching it!

Especially as the first meal!

Oh, your highness!

At your age and with your tiredness, these fancy dishes are too much!

Just drink it!

I'm not drinking it, no way!

No use getting angry at me!

Didn't the doctor madam tell you yesterday?

With your BP and diabetes, no sugar, no salt!

When you're young, it's watching pretty girls

when you're old, it's watching sugar!

At your age, sweets and sweethearts both aren't for you!

Just drink it, I say!

With my sweetheart in my thoughts, I'll savor this!

Mmm vah!

Mmm vah vah!

Aha!

He's keeping all the dishes in front of me and making me jealous!

Open your mouth!

Come on, have it, Captain!

Like I don't know you, your highness!

Just have it, Captain!

Stop being stubborn, now! Come on, eat!

That's better!

Aha! So yummy!

Feed me some Chitranna! I love it!

Here you go!

Happy now?

Now, I'm content!

Come on, Captain!

Have I ever eaten alone without you?

Huh?

Life is short, Captain!

We should make it sweet!

How long does a human live, fifty, sixty years at most?

That's it! -Hey hey, come on!

I'm 65 and still going strong!

You're an old machine, Captain!

No matter how much you grind, you don't rust!

I'm talking about my generation!

What did you just say... about grinding? Say that again!

Hey, Captain! Stop it!

Forget that! How's the taste?

Absolutely delicious!

You're Bheemasena Nalamaharaja!

Aha! This payasam, oh my!

But still, Captain...

My mind was full of Sakshi while making this vermicelli payasam

I see! -But she's not lucky enough to have it!

Anyway, never mind!

And you know

When I do chores thinking of her, I don't even notice finishing them, Captain!

That's because you're young, you know!

Don't think too much about her while working

or you'll start wanting to 'work' her instead!

Huh? I didn't get that!

Just my advice as a veteran... forget it!

Hmm!

But still, if your checkups were daily instead of monthly, it'd be so nice!

Don't jinx my health while I'm eating!

Nah!

I didn't mean it that way, Captain! -Then how?

Just that I'd get to see Doctor madam every day!

Huh?

Leave it... whatever

You please eat within limits

Don't stuff yourself, tempting though it may be!

See, I'm taking tiny bites!

Doctor madam warned just yesterday

If anything goes wrong, it's on me!

Aha! Mmm-mmm! So delicious!

Payasam! Come on, you beauty!

Shivu...

Shi- -Captain?

Shi-

Captain!

Captain, what's wrong?

Captain, what happened?

Oh no!

Captain!

Captain, please get up!

Captain! Get up, please!

Captain!

Oh God!

W-Where's my phone?

Hello!

Doctor, C-Captain...

He was fine all morning, Doctor

And suddenly, this happened while he was having breakfast

What did you give him for breakfast?

Well...

Uppittu..

And Kesari Bath..

Pa-

Come on, Shivu!

I told you yesterday, no sweets! Why give him?

Sorry, Doctor.. -Tch!

Everything looks perfectly normal...

Normal, huh?

'Then what's wrong...'

Huh!

'Caaaptaaaain!'

'Just wait, you'll get it from me!'

Ohh Captain, woke up?

My God!

You came, dear?

Whoa, easy, easy now!, Captain! -Slowly!

Careful!

Oh God!

Everything looks normal

No clue why this happened

Only if something actually happened, you'd know!

Huh?

Nothing, Doctor!

Don't know why...

It keeps happening like this with him

Uh, next time if this happens

I'll prescribe some medicines, make him take it, okay?

Control over sweets is a must!

Oh no! Won't give him any, Doctor!

Shivu..

I must say this about the Doctor! She really does her duty properly!

Oh yeah, yeah! -Thank you, Doctor!

Doctor, they say instead of reading ten times, better to write once

Same logic, one injection will do the job instead of all these medicines!

Hey, Shivu! -What?

Injection, why?

See, I'm strong as a rock!

Single pack here

Wanna see? -Captain, no! Ew!

Okay, okay!

Doctor, when young, enemies at the border

in old age, viruses in the body

there's no escaping either!

Just trust me!

If you don't want this repeating, one injection will do the trick!

I'll pin him down, you jab it!

Oh no!

Captain relax, no harm!

Injection'll make me leak out in fear! -Just wait, Captain!

No, please! -Uncle!

Nooo injection!

I'll face bullets, but I won't face an injection!

Come back, Captain!

She won't poke your bum, relax!

Please no! -Captain, wait!

Ha! Gotcha!

Doctor madam! Hurry, he's in my hold!

No way!

Captain enough, nothing will happen to you!

Doctor madam, quick!

'Like they say, 'The girl who visits the village, naturally visits the river too''

'She came home first, and then right into my heart'

'Captain's monthly checkup soon became a weekly affair'

'With time, our closeness grew'

'Sakshi became one of us'

Coffee re- -Load up the empty bottles, quick Captain!

Doctor madam will come! -Only six months of booze, 50-60 bottles!

Why worry?

Hold it steady!

What if she sees?

I'm a military man, I don't care anything!

This is a provision habit, you know!

Have you no shame, Captain?

You never listen!

Cleaned all of this just a few days back, and now look at all these bottles!

Hey, why are you saying that?

Didn't we finish the bottles together?

Me and you?

Yes! -Sakshi, you see?

Captain never listens at all!

Only you can tame this man!

He snitched me out to the doctor herself! -Thank you!

Uncle...

Come over here!

I said, come on

Uncle!

Did you drink all these bottles alone?

No, he drank them all I'm a military man, you know

You were military back then, not now!

I just take small sips...

I don't want to hear anything

If you don't follow my word, forget coffee, I won't even give you water!

Oh no, please!

I need coffee! Gotta shake off last night's hangover!

You won't drink again, right? -No way! I'm done with alcohol!

Seriously, no more alcohol?

No, I promise on you! -Promise?

I promise I won't drink! I will... drink!

Sakshi! Don't trust him!

Don't believe a word this Captain says!

He always does this!

Make him promise!

Uff, I'm safe! -Come on, promise!

I promise on you, I won't touch alcohol!

So sweet!

Cheers! -Cheers!

Now, I'll drink coffee, and later have a little drink..

Hmm! Amazing coffee! Shivu's used to be so bad!

'Falling in love comes easy for us guys'

'but we lack the nerve to say it'

'and simply get lost dreaming'

Uff!

ನನ್‌ ಮಗ್ನೇ ಆಫ್‌ ಆಗ್ತೀಯಾ! -ಹೇ

ಆಫ್‌ ಆಗ್ತೀಯಾ!

ಹೇ ಹೇ! -ಎಷ್ಟ್‌ ಧೈರ್ಯ ಇದ್ರೆ ಆಫ್‌ ಆಗ್ತೀಯಾ!

ಹೆ ಯಾಕೋ? ಏನಾಯ್ತೋ?

ಆಫ್ ಆಗೋಯ್ತು!

ಬಡ್ಡಿಮಗಂದು!

ಹೋಗ್ಲಿ ಬಿಡು

ಕುತ್ಕೊ ಬಾ

ಕುತ್ಕೊ

ಕುತ್ಕೊ

ಏನಪ್ಪಾ

ಗೋವಾಗೆ ಹೋಗಿದ್ಯ?

Hey, stop it, Uncle!

I went by what you said, and my father thrashed me

ನಾಯ್‌ ತರ ಕಟ್ಟಾಕ್ಕಿದ್ರು

ಏನು ಕಟ್ಟಾಕುದ್ರಾ?

ಏನೋ ಯಡವಟ್ಟಾಗಿದೆ

Now...

What exactly did you ask your father?

ಹೆಂಗ್ ಕೇಳ್ದೆ ಹೇಳು

ನೀವೇ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದಲ್ವ

ಎದೆ ನಿಗಿರ್ಸ್ಕೊಂಡು ಡಮ ಡಮ ಡಮ ಅಂತ ಹೋಗಿ

'ಲೋ ಅಪ್ಪ, ನಾನ್ ಗೋವಾಗ್ ಹೋಗ್ಬೇಕು ದುಡ್ ಕೊಡು'

I asked him like this

ಥೂ ನಿನ್ನ!

That's where you went wrong!

Really?

ಅದ್ಕೆಲ್ಲ ಒಂದ್ ರೀತಿ ರಿವಾಜ್‌ ಇದೆ!

ಹೌದ? -ಹಂಗ್ ಕೇಳ್ತರ!

ಥೂ ನಿನ್ನ!

Why should you ask your father for money in the first place?

ಮತ್ತೆ ಯಾರ್ ಹತ್ರ ಕೇಳ್ಲಿ?

What do you lack, huh? -ಏನಿಲ್ಲ

Don't you have brains? -ಇದೆ

No sense of responsibility? -ಇದೆ

Aren't you grown up? -Yeah!

Then why ask your father?

Own it and take responsibility yourself!

ನಾನ?

ಎಲ್ಲ ನಿನ್ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿದಿಯೋ!

ಈ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲ?

ಲೋ ಗುಬಾಲ್ಡ್ ಕೈ ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಈ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲ!

ನಿನ್ ಒಳಗಡೆನೆ ಇದೆ ಅಂತ

ನನ್ ಒಳಗಡೆ ಇದಿಯಾ?

Ha!

Then you can...

go to Goa, Bangkok, or any place you want!

ಹೌದ, ಅಂಕಲ್? -Yep!

Uncle...

ಎನಾದ್ರು ಹೆಚ್ಚು-ಕಮ್ಮಿ ಆದ್ರೆ

ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಇಲ್ಲ, ಕಮ್ಮಿನು ಇಲ್ಲ

ಜವಬ್ದಾರಿ ತಗೊ

ಆಗತ್ತೆ, ನೋಡು ಇವಾಗ್ ನಾನ್ ಎಷ್ಟ್ ಆರಾಮಾಗಿ ಇಲ್ವ

ಹೌದು ಎಷ್ಟ್‌ ಆರಾಮಾಗಿ ಇದ್ದೀರಾ!

ಗಿಡಗಳಿಗೆ ನೀರು ಹಾಕ್ತಾ ಎಷ್ಟ್‌ ಆರಾಮಾಗಿ ಇದ್ದೀನಿ ನೋಡು

Ha!

ಅಂಕಲ್, ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಹೆಂಗ್ ತಗೊಳೋದು?

ಹಾ, ಅದುಕ್ಕೊಂದು ಆಟ ಆಡ್ಬೇಕು

Go on a three-day hunger strike, no food, no water, nothing!

Uncle!

I'd die if I had to, but I can't give up on food

ಲೋ ಸುಮ್ನೆ ನಾಟ್ಕ ಕಣೊ!

ನಿಮ್ ಅಪ್ಪ ಎದ್ರುಗಡೆ ಬಂದಾಗ ಮುಖ ಹಿಂಗ್ ಇಟ್ಕೊ

ಆಮೇಲೆ ಹಿಂದೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ತಿನ್ನು

ಇವಾಗ್ಲೂ ಅದ್ನೆ ಮಾಡ್ದೆ ನಾನು

ಲೋ ಬುಜ್ಜಿ! -ಅಣ್ಣಾ!

ನಿನ್ನ ಯಾರೋ ತಡಿಯೋಕೆ ಆಗುತ್ತೆ! -ಯಾರ್‌ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲೂ ಆಗಲ್ಲ

ಹೋಗು ಇವಾಗ -ಹೋಗ್ತೀನಿ

ಹೋಗಲ್ಲೇ! -ಹೊರಟೆ!

ಹೋಗ್‌ ಕೇಳು -ಕೇಳ್ತೀನಿ

ಹೋಗು!

ಇವತ್ತು ಕತ್ತರಿಸ್ತೀನಿ ನೋಡ್ಕೋ!

ಕತ್ತರಿಸು!

ಬರುತ್ತೀನಿ ನೋಡ ಈಗ! -ಗಡಗಡ ಅಂಚಿನಿ!

ತಾಬಿಡಿ ತೋಬಿಡ!

ಹೋಗು ಕಣಲ್ಲೇ ಸಾಯಿಸಿಬಿಡು!

ತಾಬಿಡಿ ತೋಬಿಡ! ಹೋಗೋ!

ಹೋಗ್ ಹೋಗು!

ಅಮ್ಮಲ ಗುಮ್ಮ!

Ahhhh!

Oh-oh!

Just wait!

Argh!

Why, damn it?

I'm a military man!

We speak Kannada, jam to Hindi hits

Listen to whatever you want, Captain!

I'm the one happy, but you're the one enjoying!

Damn it!

There's one more thing I need to clear up

Come, sit

Okay, very good, very good!

Yeah, tell me -Look..

You keep hooking me in till I'm fully drunk, day after day

don't you see there's a generation gap between us?

Gen or not, drinks level us all!

We're not benchmates, we're peg-mates! Cheers!

Cheers!

One more thing...

Captain...

I want clarity on one thing -What is it?

Have you noticed Doctor madam lately?

What you see is different from what I see!

I'm telling you my observation, Captain!

Ugh! -Okay fine, go on!

Don't you think Doctor madam's spending more time with us lately?

Hmm-hmm! -Sure, her business is with you, Captain

I don't know why

when she talks, something feels... different inside!

For a fella like me

hit or miss in love... that's a different kind of thrill!

But still, Captain...

Technology's advanced so much!

We've invented all kinds of things!

But no bloody brain in this world has cracked what's in a woman's heart!

If there was a way

I'd read Sakshi's heart in a snap!

But can't help!

I should only wish for what I deserve

Why drag love drama into my life?

Aren't we happy as we are, you and me?

Let's just stay like this forever!

For those who play with hearts, love won't ever show up

But you... with that good heart

Love will always find its way to you!

Thank you, Captain!

Ohhh! -What happened?

Back in a bit!

Woah!

Oh my my!

Captain!

(Humming happily)

Ufff!

Finally, relaxed!

'Come alone to Hanumagiri Hills tomorrow morning, I need to talk to you'

Captain!

Why are you screaming?

See this!

Message from Sakshi!

Shivu, my boy! -Impressive, no?

She's definitely, 100%...

in love with you!

Captain!

The day she tells me that herself

you're getting a surprise gift from me!

Nooo! No more gifts!

Suffered enough of your 'special surprises'!

Stop it, Captain!

I'm telling you, she's yours!

Cheers!

Drink up, come on!

Thanks ah! I'm full tank now

I'll scoot!

Ohhh, my boy!

Listen! Don't overdrink, okay?

Drink in limit

Yeah yeah, okay!

Uh...

I don't wanna waste this peg!

Drink up, enjoy!

Cheers! -Cheers!

Good night!

When guys fall in love, they don't save!

When love's gone, they don't shave!

Until you fall in love and good happens to you

I'm not leaving you!

Hungover haze, eyes full red!

Sakshi's not gonna find out, no problem

But still, look at me... bloody handsome!

Uff!

'Morning, come fast, I wanna meet my Sakshi!'

'Can't wait to hear what she's gonna say!'

'What's the time now?'

'Still 2AM!'

Ugh!

Damn!

'This moon is such a sly one!'

'When will it leave and let the sun take over, so I can meet my Sakshi?'

'You sly one up there, moon!'

'Winking through the window!'

'Countless wild desires'

'Filled to the brim, set to spill for you!'

'The matters of my heart I cannot express'

'Without telling them to you, I can't live'

'Let one-way love trash me'

'How long can I sing solo?'

'The moon is the only companion on the midnight streets'

'Thinking of you is my one and only happiness'

'Solitude's just a dog's life'

'Alone I bare my teeth and grin'

'Give me at least one flying kiss'

'That's enough for me to live a little'

'When will you come into my life?'

'Let me know by tomorrow!'

'Send me a heart-shaped smiley, even if only once'

'Youth sizzles like dosa on the pan'

'How much batter can I pour by myself?'

'The moon is the only companion on the midnight streets'

'Thinking of you is my one and only happiness'

'It's a thrill, a sickness with no cure'

'My heart flutters, always on edge'

'The same damn rhythm of you in my heart'

'My body's quivering nonstop'

'My love-torture won't stop ever'

'Not till you say yes'

'I beg you, hug me once'

'At least till this dream is done'

'What do I say in the last line?'

'I've run out of words right here in the bathroom!'

'The moon is the only companion on the midnight streets'

'Thinking of you is my one and only happiness'

Hey!

Hey Shivu! -Huh?!

Captain!

What the hell!

Where am I?

Right here

Where's Sakshi?

You gotta go find her

Damn no!

Oh no, captain, move!

What are you gonna say to Sakshi now?

What will you tell her? -I'll tell you later!

But wait a second...

Later, later! Go cook your breakfast! I gotta run, bye!

This fellow!

Slept through the alarm!

Stayed up all night

and dozed off just when he was supposed to meet her!

Ugh, damn it!

A squirrel dancing in the rain, lost in its joy

is only meant to be watched from afar

It's foolish to think we should jump in and dance with it!

Listen, I was just being friendly and sweet with you

And you misunderstood

built a whole palace in your heart for me

decorating it however you like

now you expect me to become your wife, huh?

No, but...

It's normal in this generation for a girl to talk cheerfully and hang out with a guy

And you misunderstood everything...

Feeling all this old-school love stuff

it's useless

Listen

I have responsibilities of my own

My father has dreams and hopes for me that matter more

Nothing else comes first

Get yourself updated a little like young men nowadays

One second!

Uh...

I got what you said

but I still don't get what wrong I've done

Ahhh! -What happened?

Back in a bit!

Whoa!

Oooofff!

'Time for a game now!'

What's this message?

'Sakshi, I really like you I love you'

Sent!

No shame in stepping on filth

But bring it to the bed? That's where it gets gross

Hey, Shivu!

Shivu!

Don't tell me anything

Don't say a word now

Good news is meant to be shared with a sweet treat

I've made payasam for you Stay put, I'll bring it!

Don't move, I'll be right back

Damn it!

Aha!

I made payasam just for you

Come on, mouth open...

I don't want it!

What's wrong? Did I...

You only eat it!

Eat full until your belly is happy!

Did I tell you to play cupid for me and her?

Did I tell you I'd die if I didn't get her?

No, no...

I just shared my feelings with you!

Was that wrong?

Or is it because all these days I...

I have my self-respect too

But you made me lose it in front of her

I'm sorry...

Shivu...

Shivu...

M-My mistake...

Shivu...

Shivu, what are you doing?

Listen, when you grow old, you should behave like your age!

That's respect!

If you keep fooling around like a youngster, people will laugh at you!

But, Shivu...

Everything I do, it's for your sake, right?

Don't say anything now!

Listen! Sorry, I was wrong...

For some people, they never see the value of someone until they are gone

One day you'll understand my value too!

W-Wait, Shivu..

Shivu!

Please no!

Please!

Please! Don't leave me and go! -Leave me!

No, please, Shivu...

Now I see the truth

What do you mean?

Children don't leave their parents without a reason!

All this mischief you must've done with them

is why your children left you!

God sent me to fill that gap in your life

Yet you couldn't hold on to me, even!

Even your own children couldn't stand you!

But I tolerated you all these years!

And what a 'reward' I got for all I did!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Happily eat and drink alone at your house!

N-No..

S-Shivu, please!

'Those born of me have left and gone'

H-Hey... S-Shivu...

Hey...

'Nobody's really for anyone, it's just you for you'

'God's trickery comes not in few, but in many'

Shivu...

ಹೇ ಕಾರ್ಡ್‌ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ಹಾಕೋ -ಅಯ್ಯೋ ಇವಳಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗಲ್ಲ

ಹೀಗಾ ಹಾಕೋದು -ಅಕ್ಕಾ...

ನೀವು ಈ ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಎಲ್ಲಿಯಾದರೂ ನೋಡಿದ್ದೀರಾ?

ಇಲ್ ನೋಡಿ

ಇಲ್ಲಾ ನೋಡಿಲ್ಲಾ

ವಾಪಸ್ ಕೊಡು

Hey, stop!

Get off me, damn it!

Back the hell off!

You!

Argh!

ತಾತಾ, ಈ ಬ್ಯಾಗ್‌ ಇಟ್ಕೊಳ್ಳಿ ಪ್ಲೀಸ್

You!

You!

ಯಾರು ನೀನು? ಏನ್ ಮಾಡ್ತಿದ್ಯಾ

Shhh!

Damn it!

Argh!

'Shivu -Yeah, Captain'

'The ones I love most..'

'...always leave me'

'My wife, my children... and now you'

'Until you kick me out, I'm not going anywhere!'

Captain!

Captain!

Captain! What happened?

Hello, doctor...

Hello

Yeah?

Okay, I'll come

Captain...

Captain!

Slowly...

Shivu..

I was wrong, please forgive me!

Captain, no! Please don't say that!

Shivu, my mistake!

P-Please forgive me!

My mistake, sorry!

No, Captain, not your fault!

It's all my fault!

Ever since I grew older, it feels like I only make mistakes

Please don't say that, Captain!

I've caused you so much pain!

No, Captain!

I spoke rashly out of anger!

Sorry, Captain!

Listen, I promise you something

I'll never behave like this with you again

Let your anger out, scold me all you want

even hit me if you want!

I will never leave you and go anywhere

Forgive me for my mistake, Captain!

Doctor...

Muthanna...

How are you feeling today?

Feeling good, Sir

Hmm

See, Muthanna...

Shivu looks after you so well

yet why do you let yourself get into all this?

What's going on with you, why the tension, huh?

Just the usual small stuff, sir

I'm human too, after all, right?

Muthanna, can I tell you something? -Yes, sir

Life is just this one chance

We don't get to choose, life chooses us

So we must take it as it comes

So why stress yourself over things unnecessarily

and invite illnesses you shouldn't have?

Am I right, Shivu?

Exactly, Doctor

Listen, Muthanna, you've always been like a lion, even at this age!

Seeing you lying sick in bed is very hard for all of us!

And it doesn't suit you at all!

So first, get all your worries off your mind

and be happy, okay?

Okay, sir

Sakshi... -Sir?

Everything looks normal

Just make sure he takes his tablets and injections on time

Okay? -Yes, sir

Muthanna, I'll check on you again this evening

If you stay steady like this, we will discharge you tomorrow itself

Okay? -Thank you, sir

All the best -Thank you

Okay

Okay, Shivu -Thank you, Doctor

Sister...

Nobody should be here

Send them out

Uncle, I'll give you the injection in a while

Rest for now, okay?

Sakshi, I need to talk to you

Uncle, we can talk later

Please rest now

No, I want to talk to you right now

Uncle, you said you had something to tell me

Dear, Sakshi...

The mistake that happened now has nothing to do with Shivu

it's all my fault

Uncle?

Shivu and I are not related by blood

only an accidental bond!

Uncle? -Yes

He's actually an orphan!

What are you saying?

Though I have everyone, still, I'm like an orphan

I have two children

Just for namesake, but of no use!

They're far away and out of my reach

A human can win any game

still, in destiny's game, he will lose

This body of mine fought for the nation

and now I fight just to live

Everyone says I'm old now, that I should enjoy life and be happy

but I don't even have a small reason to smile

God knows best

when to give, what to whom, and when to take away

He took everything from me, literally everything

yet even greater than all that

He gave me a gem

I mean Shivu!

Shivu!

He proved, accidental bonds is greater than blood ties

Poor guy

H-He came looking for work

and taking care of me became his duty

I don't know why

Somehow, the bond of father and son grew between us

He may be an orphan

but he knows the value of parents and family very well

He knows it very well!

All this is my fault alone

If you're angry, then just slap me!

Uncle, no! What's this?!

None of this is his fault

Not the slightest bit!

I plead you with folded hands!

Please forgive him!

Please forgive!

You'll forgive him, I know!

Shivu!

Yes, yes, coming!

Check who's at the door

Sakshi!

Uncle! -Come in

Come on in

Come on

Please come.. -Oh, please sit!

Please sit, Uncle!

How are you, Uncle?

Just okay!

How's your health?

Mmm-mmm!

How is your practice going on?

All good, Uncle

Have it

I'll go pay the electricity bill and be back

Hey, wait!

You can pay it tomorrow

Sit now

Today's the last date, Captain

Just pay it online

I'm not that updated with all that online payment stuff yet

Oh-ho!

This fellow...

he's full of self-respect!

Yeah!

All these years, even with children, I felt like I had none

But after he came

I regret why wasn't he born to me

Damn time, you know how it is

has its own way of stinging you!

What's in the watch isn't flowers, it's thorns!

It keeps pricking!

Oh my!

Cheers!

That's my wife!

She's amazing, isn't she?

Very smart, you know!

She promised to stay with me till my last breath

But she left me alone and passed away

She and I built this house together

it was all her plan!

Every detail, how it should look, all her idea!

Bloody love of mine left me

but still, she had this lingering wish, that we didn't have children

Then we were blessed with twins, just like that!

What more could one ask for?

That picture there, those are my children

Look at the beauty of their smiles in those days of innocence

They know it all now, but the smiles are gone

That's why I have that photo, to remember their smiles

We wanted them to study well and grow up successful

Lakhs of debt went just for their studies

We dreamed of them becoming IAS, IPS, doctors, or engineers

We wanted them to abroad, America, Australia, foreign lands

Once they outgrew us, they went their own way and left!

We didn't make them literate, we made them men of business

Never taught them to care for us, their parents

Wrapped up in family duties, I never taught them how to be cultured!

The fault lies with us too, the parents

The mistake is ours!

Children fancy foreign countries more than their own parents

Ignoring parents, they chase money, cars, and bungalows

Their 'respect' for parents is sending them away to old age homes

The first time a child opens their eyes, parents are by their side

But when parents are closing theirs for the last time

is it wrong to expect their children's presence?

They won't understand now

Only when they become fathers themselves will they realize the value of a father

Dear Sakshi..

Yes, Uncle?

Though a mother bears the child

father's the one who sheds silent tears within

The mother feeds the child

but the father labours endlessly to provide

A mother is the God before the eyes

but a father is the God behind her

A mother introduces a child to the world

But a father introduces the whole world to the child

As a parent, I failed in making them understand this

I failed!

Yeah

'They won't understand now'

'Only when they become fathers themselves will they truly grasp the value of a father'

'Their 'respect' for parents is sending them away to old age homes'

'But when parents are closing theirs eyes for the last time'

'is it wrong to expect their children's presence?'

'Children fancy foreign countries more than their own parents'

Yeah, just chopping some carrots

Sakshi really loves Pulav...

Why you're back this early today, dear?

Okay, come on

Mr. Shetty, my daughter is home, I'll call you later

Come, dear

I'm making Pulav

Father...

I haven't taken good care of you, right, Father?

Why are you saying that, dear?

I got so busy with work and helping others

I forgot about you, didn't I, Papa?

Why are you saying this, Sakshi?

What happened?

I don't know why, Father

I feel like talking a lot with you

They say in this world, a mother's lap and a father's shoulder

are the most sacred places

And you've given me both, Father

You eased my ache of not having a mother

These days

the birth of a daughter is seen as a burden

Yet I came into this world

and I know the pain you endured for me, Papa

Thank you, Papa!

It's alright, dear -Thank you so much

Listen, my child

This world will always have its discrimination between men and women

Having a daughter is something a father should be proud of, you know!

A son is a dad's little hero

But a daughter

makes the father the hero

They don't say without reason

Tough times call for daughters

Not every home is blessed with a daughter

It's the will of God

And you are proof of that

I'm really blessed to be your daughter, Father

I'm the one who's blessed!

I'll never leave you and go anywhere, Father

I'll be with you until the very end

Uncle, all the reports look normal

Alright, thank you

Captain, I'll be back

Hmm, sure

Captain..

The one who forgives is greater than the one who seeks forgiveness

If you forgive her now, you'll be the greater one!

Forgive her, okay?

Just forgive her!

'I won't come just at your call'

'I'll be there even before you call!'

'Forget me, I won't be found that way'

'You'll see me even before you forget'

'Where did this color bloom in the empty sky?'

'Where was this gentle smile hiding all this while?'

'We crossed paths just like that! Just like that!'

'And a gentle fragrance drifted... oh, somehow!'

'My heart has blossomed on its own'

'When you come close without a word'

'If I hide these feelings from you'

'only I face the trouble'

'Let's seek together the sweet station of our dreams'

'Let's give a new definition to togetherness'

'Can I match the rhythm of my racing heart right now'

'How do I serve my love from afar?'

After we get married, how will you look after me?

I'll take care of you the same way I would have looked after my mother

No no, that too could give rise to selfishness

If we have a girl child

will you look after me the same way you look after her?

Alright

'Soft whispers of this love'

'I'll treasure quietly in my heart'

'In this quiet solitude, with no one else'

'Forever, you are my precious darling'

'Very precious to me, this endless rush of love'

'Even when you pull me close, your image lingers deep in my heart'

'Under your spell, I'm left speechless once more'

'Let me drift within your fluttering hair, lost in every sway'

Give it to them

Please take it, Uncle

What a lovely surprise, my child!

Thank you!

Thrill in life comes from surprises like this!

I've never stood in the way of my daughter's happiness

Her happiness is my happiness

Right, dear? -Thank you, Papa

Shivu will hold your daughter in the safest and most caring hands

That's all I want!

Go on, have the juice

Just that I'm allergic to this colour during day

Captain, stop it!

Oh, that? -Night time is totally okay!

Truly a major, he is! -I'm a military man, you know!

He's a real major!

Shivu! Anything you need to discuss, now's the time

Yeah, go on -Exactly!

You know, a man's smile lasts only until he ties the nuptial chain

and a woman's tears last only till the nuptial chain is tied on her

Joy or sorrow.. -Captain, please stop!

Uncle!

...it's all part of family life!

If you've got something, then talk it out

Go on, drink

Half a kilo of sugar and half a kilo of gram flour, please

One sec, I'll hand it over

Please give it to me quickly

I said one sec...

Sundari!

On the half-saree, the skirt takes its place

And tucked inside the skirt is the butterfly...

On the word of the butterfly...

ಯಾಕ್ ಸುಂದ್ರಿ ಇವತ್ತು ಕಪಾಳಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಡದ್ಲು?

I sang nicely, didn't I?

ಏನಾಯ್ತು?

Uncle..

You came?

Uncle...

You saw it?

Didn't see a thing -Thank God!

Did you see what she handed me?

I did see that

You bloody!

ಬುಧ್ಧಿ ಇದಿಯೆನೊ ನಿಂಗೆ?

ಆ ಹುಡ್ಗಿ ಏನ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ಲು?

ನೀನ್ ಏನ್ ಮಾಡ್ದೆ?

ಅಂಕಲ್, ಹಾಡ್ ಹಾಡ್ದೆ ಅಷ್ಟೆ

ಹಾಡ?

ಆ ಹುಡ್ಗಿ ನೋಡಿ ನೀನ್ ಹಾಡ್ದ?

ಅದೇನ್ ಹಾಡು ಹಾಡ್ ನೋಡಣ ಕೇಳ್ತಿನಿ

ನಂಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಇಷ್ಪವಾದ ಹಾಡ್ ಅಂಕಲ್ ಅದು

On the half-saree, the skirt takes its place

And tucked inside the skirt is the butterfly...

ಅಯ್ಯೋ ನನ್ ಮಗನೆ!

ಆ ತರ ಹಾಡ್ತಾರೆನೊ?!

Only because it's her, you got spared

If I'd been her, I'd have shot below your belt!

Oh no!

That is, 'Butterfly is on 'top' of the skirt'

Butterfly is on top?

ಒಳ್ಗಡೆ ಅಂತೀಯಾ!

Really? -ಏನೋ ನೀನು!

ಅಯ್ಯೋ! ನಿಂಗ್ ಯಾವಾಗ್ ಬುದ್ಧಿ ಬರುತ್ತೋ! ಯಾವಾಗ್ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಬರುತ್ತೋ

ನಂಗಂತು ಅರ್ಥ ಆಗ್ತಿಲ್ಲ!

Uncle, I went to my father and asked for responsibility like you said

But he was just teasing me, not giving snacks

You know that? I don't want responsibility, it's not mine!

So you sing to customers and end up getting smacked?

ಥೂ ನಿನ್ನ!

ಯಾವಾಗ್ಲೊ ನಿಂಗ್ ಬುದ್ಧಿ ಬರೋದು?

ನಾನ್ ಏನ್ ಮಾಡ್ಬೇಕು ಹೇಳಿ ನೀವೆ!

ಅವರ ಅಮ್ಮ ಬರ್ಬೇಕು ಕಣೋ! ಅವರ ಅಮ್ಮ!

ನಾನು ಏನ್‌ ಮಾಡ್ಬೇಕು ಇವಾಗ ಹೇಳಿ ನೀವು!

ಹೂ ಹೇಳ್ತೀನಿ

Fold your hands

think of God!

'The Lord of seven hills'

ಸಿಲುಕುಲಮ್ಮ ಬರ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ!

ಬಂದ್ರಾ, ಅಂಕಲ್?

ಅವರ ಅಮ್ಮ ಬರ್ಬೇಕು ಅಂದ್ರೆ ಮದುವೆ ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಳ್ಲೋ ಲೇ!

ನಂಗೆ ಮದುವೆನಾ?!

ಹೌದು ನಿಂಗೆ! -ನಂಗಾ?

ಅಂಕಲ್‌, ನಮ್ಮ ಅಪ್ಪ ಮಾಡ್ತಾರಾ?

ಹೂಂ, ಮಾಡ್ತಾರೆ! ಅವರದ್ದೇ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ!

ಹೌದಾ? -ಹೌದು

ಇರಿ ಬಂದೆ!

ಹೇ ಬಾರೋ ಇಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್‌ ಮಗ್ನೇ!

ಏನ್‌ ಒಂದೇ ರಾತ್ರೀಲಿ ಹೋಗಿ ಮದುವೆ ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಂಡು ಬಿಡ್ತೀಯಾ?

I'll do it today evening itself, Uncle!

ನನ್ನ ಮಗನೇ ಹೊಡ್ದಾಕ್‌ ಬಿಡ್ತೀನಿ!

A wedding isn't something you do in one night or evening

There's a process, you actually have to do it

Really? - Yes!

I'll talk to your father and convince him

ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಗನಿಗೆ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಬಂದಿದೆ

ಮದುವೆ ಮಾಡಿ ಅಂತ ಹೇಳ್ತೀನಿ

ನೀನು ಹಂಗೆ ಇರ್ಬೇಕು

ಈ ತರ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಹಾಡ್‌ ಹಾಡ್ಬಾರ್ದು

ಹೇ ಇಲ್ಲ ಹಾಡಲ್ಲ!

ಇರ್ತೀಯಾ?

ಈ ಬ್ಯಾಗ್‌ ತಗೋ

Here's the grocery list

Sure, Uncle -ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕರೆಕ್ಟ್‌ ಆಗಿ ತಂದು ಕೊಡ್ಬೇಕು

Yeah, sure, Uncle!

ಹೂಂ ಅಂಕಲ್‌, ತರ್ತೀನಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ

ಕನ್ನಡಕ ಹಾಕೋ

ಹಾಕೋ -ಹಾ ಅಂಕಲ್‌, ಹಾಕ್ತೀನಿ

ಹಾ ಎಷ್ಟು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸ್ತೀಯಾ

ಹುಷಾರು! ಹಾಡ್‌ ಹಾಡಂಗಿಲ್ಲ! -ಹೇ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅಂಕಲ್‌ ಇಲ್ಲ!

ಹಾಡಬೇಡ

'ಆಹಾ ನನ್ನ ಮದುವೆ! ಆಹಾ ನನ್ನ ಮದುವೆ!'

'ಆಹಾ ಮದುವೆನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಒಹೋ ಮದುವೆನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಲೇ ಮಗ್ನೇ!'

ಸಾಯಿಸಿ ಬಿಡ್ತೀನಿ ನಿನ್ನ!

ಅಯ್ಯೋ ಬೇಡ ಅಂಕಲ್! -ಆ ತರ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಮಾಡ್ಬೇಡ

ಒಳ್ಳೇ ಹುಡುಗಾ ನೀನು

ಹಂಗೆ ಇರು

'ಆಹಾ ನನ್ನ ಮದುವೆ! ಆಹಾ ನನ್ನ ಮದುವೆ!'

Oh, Uncle, please come in!

Is Muthanna home? -No, he's gone out somewhere

He'll be back

Sit, please

Tea or coffee? -No, thanks! Just sit!

Come on, sit

What's the matter, Uncle?

Nothing special

My only daughter, you see!

For 25 years...

I raised her with so much effort

And the pain of letting her go from my lap to someone else's is enormous!

I raised her so she wouldn't feel the absence of her mother

I could never have found a man as good-hearted as you for my daughter

My blessings will always be with both of you, Shivu

So many relatives, you see, and when my daughter is getting married

all their questions come, who's the groom, what job he does

Don't take it the wrong way

I have a friend

He can you get a good job Just say yes, and I'll speak to him

Thank you, Uncle

I hadn't thought about this at all

How long can I stay like this?

Being with Captain all the time, I almost forgot I have a life of my own

Uncle, uh...

I don't know how to say all this

You must do something, please

Fine, I'll make coffee for you

You sit

Ha, alright

3.. 2.. 1.. -Food's ready!

Aha! Perfect timing!

Captain! -Yes?

Mr. Satyamurthy came by today

Oh really? And what did he say?

This news will have you feeling super happy!

Oh oh! What's this happy news?

Everyone chase money and girls

but for me, girl and money are chasing me!

Vah! -And it's all thanks to your blessings!

Alright! Tell me clearly!

You know why I came here?

You came looking for a job, right?

Ah!

Now a job has come looking for me!

Mr. Sathyamurthy, alias my father-in-law

came just to tell me this

He said he knows someone who can get me a job

And what did you say for that?

No way I'd let that slip

How many get an opportunity like this, Captain?

The target chosen and the path followed will reach its destination in time

How long can I stay like this, doing nothing?

Remember, you said

we must change with those who are changing around us

But no matter what changes around me

I'll never change about you!

I'll visit you often and then go!

And hey, same with you!

Don't drown yourself in tension and alcohol just because I'm not around!

Got it, huh?

Alright, serve yourself the sambar I'll go bring the palya

'Listen, I'll promise you something'

'I won't leave you and go anywhere'

Aha!

Shivu.. -Huh?

Sakshi's calling! -Sakshi?!

That's okay, take it -Give it here

Hello...

Hi, Shivu.. -Hi!

What are you doing?

Just the usual

You tell me, Sakshi

Uh, Shivu... -Yeah?

Shall we go for dinner tonight?

Tonight?

Ah, okay! Let's go!

Great, I'll come pick you up myself

No, I'll come on my own

Just send me the location

Hmm, okay, I'll send it

Okay!

Bye! -Bye!

Here, take the phone, Captain!

Captain... -Yes?

No cooking at home tonight!

Oh no!

Me and Sakshi are going out for dinner!

Oh no! What about my meal then?

You have all those apps on your phone, just order what you want!

Ha!

What'll you do if I'm not around in the future?

Better get used to my absence now only, Captain!

Hmm-hmm

Hello

Hello.. -Hi, Captain!

What are you doing here?

Just watching a blue film

Ha? Watching a blue film in a military man's house?!

Aiyo Captain! Don't get shocked!

Not the 'blue film' you're thinking of!

Look there! I'm watching Avatar

I don't get why the whole movie's all blue!

Who cares blue or red!

Weren't you supposed to meet Sakshi? What happened?

Oh no, Captain, I totally forgot!

Where's my phone?

Ohhhhh noooo!

20 missed calls!

That's actually less!

What do I do now?

Alright, leave it, I'll sort it out in the morning

Finished your dinner?

Oh yeah, had a lovely dinner!

And what about my dinner?

You said you get food on the phone

just order it!

Bye!

Good night!

Repeating my own line to me, huh?

Tch!

Hello, Shivu, what's wrong... -Hello...

Uh, Sakshi...

Uncle... -Yeah, it's me

Well, Shivu...

Shivu's asleep

Oh! Slept off so early?

Yes, anything urgent? Want me to wake him up?

No, no Uncle, it's okay

I'll call tomorrow

Bye.. -Alright

Okay

Sigh! He's still a young guy! Should be up!

But nope... fast asleep!

That girl's awake too!

And even I'm wide awake!

'Why is he doing this?'

'Why isn't he answering my calls?'

Hey Shivu!

Hmm?

When a girl, who was his long-time love and is now his wife

goes to her mother's home from her in-laws'

her husband waited faithfully till Aashaada month!

You know why?

Why's that?

So that at least during Aashaada she'll return home

Guys get their thrill in waiting

But she calls you in the middle of the night, messing up her sleep

and you're out cold, snoring like a fool!

Very bad!

I don't know why, Captain

I just fell into deep sleep

Hmm!

You guys lose sleep until you fall in love

But once in love, you make the girls lose sleep while you snooze away peacefully!

That's why girls don't fall for guys easily!

Hey come on, with support like you, they'll definitely fall!

Oh yeah! I'm no major, I'm a matchmaker!

Huh?

You're Rama, she's Sita, and I'm Hanumantha bringing you two together!

Okay?

Go now, call her, and meet her fast!

Hey, I'll do it

You go take a bath, come quick, and we can have breakfast together!

Wait, but...

Hello..

Mr. Muthanna -Yeah?

This is lawyer Prashanth speaking

Greetings, lawyer! What's the matter?

I need to discuss something with you Can you come to the office?

What's it about? You can tell me over the phone

Better if you come over I'll explain everything

You really want me to come?

Alright, I'll come over

Okay

Okay

Dear Sakshi Come, sit and have breakfast

No, Father

I don't feel like eating

Why, dear?

Because Shivu is not picking up?

Father!

From now, talking to him or getting a reply may be tough

So, better for you to concentrate on your work

Come on, have breakfast

Father, what are you saying? Please tell me clearly

Uh...

I... actually...

Went to meet Shivu...

All of this... and you...

How long will you... keep doing this work?

Uh... you're right, Uncle

I too hadn't realized it until now

How long can I just stay like this?

Being with captain all the time

I completely forgot that I've got my own life too

But, you know...

He takes care of me so well

how can I leave him and come?

He's a lonely soul, Uncle

Tch! He won't survive that

His life, which went haywire after everyone left, has finally found joy

And you want me to ruin that happiness?

I have no one, yet he gave me the title of son and treats me like royalty

How could I ever leave him, Uncle?

He always thinks of me, my life, and my future

This bloody heart of mine won't accept leaving someone like him

Damn me for this!

This thought you're having, I never once had when I was happy in love!

Not even my captain, trying to bring me and her together, ever thought of this!

That I would bloody leave him someday!

No, Shivu, that's not what I meant.. -Listen, Uncle

Uh, nothing wrong with your thinking as a father of a daughter

But...

Same way, I need some time to think

If...

this heart of mine refuses to leave this place...

Please, drop this alliance, right here!

I'll be with Captain as long as he lives

But Sakshi must have a good life

You're the one who has to do something

Please...

They both are happily living together in harmony, dear

I just don't want my daughter's name to carry the blame for spoiling it

Concentrate on your work

Come on now, eat breakfast

You said you wanted to discuss something

Uh, Mr. Muthanna...

After our children grow tall and independent, instead of going against them

it's better hand over the responsibility to them and step back to enjoy your peace

That's my opinion

What I mean is...

If you sell the house you're living in, it could fetch 5-6 Crore rupees

Keep a share, divide the rest between your sons

and live happily with them as long as you live

How long can you live alone, Mr. Muthanna?

Alone? Who's alone? I'm not!

With good income, relationships remain good, right?

No, not like that

Listen, Mister

My wife and I built that house with our sweat and toil!

That house is my wife's dream!

And you want me to reduce that dream to dust?

Huh?

No, Mr. Muthanna

You're talking about dreams and memories

And your children are threatening to go to court if you don't give them their share of the inheritance

Oh!

They'll go to court?

Let them!

Yeah!

Those worthless sons won't get a single rupee from me!

I'd rather transfer it to an orphanage or old-age home!

But never to them!

That's my own property, sir!

You're a lawyer, you know that!

Court, they threaten?

Let them try!

Where have you been all this while, Captain?

I've prepared all the food and waiting for you

Come on, let's eat

You...

Aiyo!

What's wrong, Captain?

What's suddenly gotten into him?

Captain!

Captain!

Why's he acting like this?

Captain, what happened?

Aiyo!

Ca-

What now?

What do you want?

C-Come on, let's eat..

You eat! Eat till your stomach's full!

Go on, eat

Damn you and your food!

Captain, at least tell me what's wrong!

'In the journey of life'

'kin come by in hundreds'

'The ones who bring us joy'

'are the very ones who leave us with sorrow and go'

'O hearts, burdened with pain yet smiles conceals it all'

'Why push away our own? O' time why?'

'When hearts are united, that home becomes a temple'

Captain..

'But when hearts are broken, that very home becomes an ocean of tears'

'In every tale destiny pens, pain is a given'

'Only in loving bonds is it forgotten'

'A mother, the giver of birth' A father, the keeper of it'

'For the debt of the womb, for the kindness it gave

Captain..

Captain, listen to me...

Ca-

You! Eyes on the road!

A.. -Pa...

Appa... -Appa

A...

Ma...

Amma...

Ca-

Captain...

Captain...

Captain...

Where did he go this early?

He must be on the terrace

Dear Sakshi...

Uncle?

I too know what goes on between two hearts in love

Don't leave Shivu for any reason

He's a gem of a guy

and he'll always take care of you

Uncle... why are you saying this now?

You two deserve all the joy in the world, and it will be yours!

Uncle, what happened? -Wish the best for both of you

Wait, Uncle..

ಒಂದು, ಎರಡು...

Shetre.. -Huh? Hi!

Uh, did Captain come here?

Captain, huh?

No, why do you ask?

ಯಾಕೆ?

ಹೇ ಏನಾಯಿತು... -Nothing

Uh... greetings, sir

Ah, Shivu! Welcome, have a seat

Did Muthanna come around, by any chance?

I knew you'd come

Blood ties are like that! Who would ever give up their children, right?

I've made all the arrangements

This portion is for the elder son

and this one's for the younger son

Muthanna has transferred all his assets to your name via this will

Muthanna asked me to keep it a secret from you for some time

but before that...

Okay, sir

I'll take my leave -Very well, young man

'Shivu...'

'I don't want simple forgiveness, I want your full pardon and forgiveness, no less!'

'On plain paper, anyone can scribble anything'

'But not everyone gets to write what's truly in their heart'

'We all wish to live'

'But what matters is how we live it and with whom'

'My life found its meaning because of you'

'And I can say that with pride'

'Even my children, granted through prayers, did not wish me well'

'But you came out of nowhere, and blessed me abundantly'

'Old age is only for the body, not for love'

'and not for the heart that loves, you showed me that!'

'This debt I owe you, Shivu, no amount of lifetimes could ever repay it'

'Listen, young man'

'The world we live in now has changed'

'A child can live in the home a father built'

'But a father can't stay in the home his children built'

'How long will you care for this old man?'

'You have your own life too'

'And I don't want you to ruin it'

'Shivu...'

'I've done what I could, within my limits'

'Don't take me wrong'

'Understand this, Sakshi is a gem of a girl'

'You should marry her'

'Just like me and my wife, I want you both to live happily in this house'

'Yeah, got it?'

'Your mother wanted'

'to visit Kaashi once before her last breath'

'I never fulfilled that wish of hers'

'I don't want that guilt to stay with me'

'That's why I'm leaving for Kaashi with her'

'I want to spend my last days there'

'Shivu... sometimes in life, some steps we must take alone'

'Sometimes it's necessary, sometimes there's no choice'

'Don't worry about me'

'Yours lovingly, Captain'

Shivu...

Shivu... -Sakshi!

Sakshi!

Hey... don't cry

What happened, Shivu?

Why are you crying?

Shivu...

Tell me, what happened, Shivu...

Please, stop crying and tell me what happened

Calm down, Shivu

How can I calm down, Sakshi?

All day he had my name on his lips 'Shivu, Shivu, Shivu!'

And now, I wonder how he is all alone...

'Old age home Varanasi'

'To live together that's how life's meant to be lived'

'But when one departs, life becomes a walk alone'

'If the very hand we once held in life, slips away'

'Even in the brightest light, the world turns into cruel darkness'

'Love alone gives life'

'Love alone brings life its torment'

'For the debt of the womb, for the kindness it gave, what in this world could ever be equal?'

You! -Hey no!

ನಾನು ನಿಮ್ಮನ್ನೇ ಹುಡುಕ್ತಿದ್ದೆ!

Me? -Yeah

ಇದನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ

Huh?!

ಅವರು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಪ್ಪನಾ?

Yes! I've come looking for him!

ಅವರು ನಮ್ಮ ಆಶ್ರಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದಾರೆ

I-Is he in your ashram?

ಇದು ಬನಾರಸ್

ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಜನ ಬಂದು ಅವರ ಅಪ್ಪ ಅಮ್ಮನಾ ಬಿಟ್ಟು ಹೋಗ್ತಾರೆ

ನೀವೇ ಮೊದಲು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಪ್ಪನಾ ಹುಡುಕಿಕೊಂಡು ಬಂದಿರೋದು

ಬನ್ನಿ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಅಪ್ಪನಾ ಹತ್ರ ಕರ್ಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗ್ತೀನಿ

Ha, okay!

ಬನ್ನಿ -Let's go

Look at you, sitting so peacefully!

Captain, the peace you got from Shiva, I, Shivu, could never give!

If only you had said once that you'd be this peaceful without me

there was no need to come this far, Captain

You always used to say ours isn't some accidental tie, but a bond of blood!

But now..

you've abandoned me to the streets, Captain!

Like a forsaken evening hanging between morning and night

you and your children left me alone, Captain!

You used to say life comes in two, yet it's meant to live as one!

But now..

you've proven that living is different from life itself

and here you are, in this corner of the world all by yourself!

But for me...

You never showed me which direction to take, Captain

For my well-being

for my bright future

and for a life with those I love

you've come all the way here!

But...

The pain of not having you in that life of mine hurts more, Captain

I'm someone who bows to love

but not for your inheritance!

Captain!

You are my greatest asset, Captain!

I want to live well by your side, Captain!

I'll follow every word you say!

And I told doctor madam too before coming, Captain!

She must be waiting... poor thing!

Come on, Captain, let's go

Come on, Captain!

Captain!

Captain!

Captain!

Captain! Wake up!

Captain! Get up!

Captain!

Captain!

Captain, please wake up!

Captain, please!

Captain!

Even doctor madam is waiting, come on let's go!

Captain!
