-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

What's up Varma sir?

Are those supplementary papers?

How many have taken them?

Only one person!

Even a whole textbook wouldn’t have these many pages!

Just five questions, how much could he even write?

Normally, I’d just toss it aside.

I also became curious to see what he had written.

Hearing you, I’m also interested. My work’s done. Can I join?

Sure, join in.

Salutations, sir.

Cute boy!

Sir, students usually start with formulas,

but he began with pleasantries.

This bundle may look impressive,

but I know I won’t score even a single mark.

Please don’t rip my bundle.

Let me clear the exam.

-Who is he to threaten me? -Sir, it must have been a request.

If the notice board shows me as failed, you’ll get my suicide letter

from this room holding you responsible.

-Oh God! Who’s this guy? -Sir… sir… sir…

If we keep these papers away, he will harm himself, we’ll be blamed.

Reading is the best solution, sir. Please read them.

Talking about myself feels like bragging.

Since my dad has already written me off,

whatever he says must be right.

You gave me life, but never cared to know who I am.

And the one I married didn’t even try.

Whereas my son, the one who shared my blood, is nothing but trouble.

Please sit down.

What is this!

You sent a message on Instagram asking me to come urgently?

You keep performing remedies,

but his condition is getting worse day by day.

-What happened? -What more could I have possibly done?

I bought him a car worth crores when asked.

But do you know where he’s roaming now?

People like us visit a classy bar or pub.

But look at where he went.

How does it matter where he drives the car?

He wrote ‘dad’s Gift’ on the car you bought him, didn’t he?

Nonsense!

-He’s written our surname. -Oh, your surname!

"Abba" means Dad, "Varam" means gift, together it's Abbavaram!

I worked so hard to buy him branded clothes,

look at our Abbavaram here!

Play the song.

["Aayudham" movie song starts]

-He’s becoming a petty guy, day by day. -True, man!

['Nandamuri Nayaka' song starts]

Flapdoodle, bum-bee!

Sir, what’s happened to this generation?

His parents gave him everything

But why are people like him throwing away their dignity?

I don’t understand why people like him even exist.

Did I ask anyone to give me this life, sir?

How's he suddenly live now?

I couldn’t answer your doubts from there, sir.

That’s why I showed up in person.

Someone born middle-class dreams of living rich,

going to rich places,

wearing rich clothes, and driving rich cars.

Leaving all that aside, why are you wandering around like a vagabond?

Those who have nothing still dream big.

With everything at my disposal, I have my own wishes, sir.

I want to walk the streets, wear a lungi, drink cheap booze,

and dance like crazy to mass songs.

Why not? It sounds fine from his perspective.

But from his father's point of view, it looks painful.

So, did you become like this recently? Or were you born this way?

No, sir, I’ve always been like this since childhood.

My dad loved me immensely.

He’d serve me all kinds of dishes on the table,

but I’d only want a pickle.

And that’s something he didn’t like.

It tastes good.

Sir, my father told me to study well to have a bright future.

What’s this? What are these marks?

How many times must I tell you?

If you study well, you’ll live in such big houses.

If not, you’ll end up like me, just another worker.

That’s when I realized, sir.

My dad has already set my future bright.

So what’s the point in studying hard for another one?

Since then, whenever I do something foolish, my dad tells my mom,

"If you were still alive, he’d never have turned out like this."

-My dad talks to God -Oh Lord Kalabhairava!

If his mom had been alive, he wouldn't have turned out like this.

When even that didn’t work,

he sought advice from a priest who trusted in God.

He gave a really terrible idea.

Sir, the northeast direction has become heavy for our boy.

We should shift to a new place.

Yes! I was wondering the same.

I’ll send him

-to my brother-in-law in Kerala. -Do that, sir.

The planets’ influence on him will fade,

and he’ll change.

Believe me!

-But he refuses to go, sir. -Why?

-Why else? I need to stay back and study. -Bullshit!

What did you even study here?

Anyway, EAMCET’s coming up. Get a better rank and show me.

I only managed 40% because I cheated in tenth grade,

and you bribed the invigilators in intermediate.

Now you're talking about EAMCET? No way!

40 percent? That's not even half of what my son scored.

-Your son isn't just as rich. -You keep quite.

Hey, instead of making jokes about his marks, go mind your lunch duty!

Okay then…

It's Hyderabad if you pass EAMCET. Otherwise, it's Kerala.

So, I began studying as he wished.

I don’t know who writes these!

They don’t even have the basic sense to make it

easy for people like us who struggle with studies.

Before I could grasp anything, it was all over.

After that, I was done for.

By the time I woke up in the morning,

it was already time for the exam.

You know how my Dad reacted, sir?

If his mother were alive, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Since I skipped the exam, my dad decided to send me off to Kerala.

I said I’d go only if my friend came along.

-His surname is Bokka and his name is… -Bokka?

Hey, Ananya!

Hey! I'm a guy! I'm a guy! Keep it down and drink.

Are you guys so desperate!

Isn't aunty home? Drink up, you--

Hey! Where's he, dude?

Hey! He’ll be at least 30 minutes late, no matter what time he promises.

Doesn’t he? Wait, I’ll call him and find out.

-What's up, dude? -Where are you, man?

-I'm swimming, dude. -Hey! Why, man?

-I told you there’s a party, man. -I’m usually the one who throws the party.

Why throw one for me?

Oh, that? There's an unlucky friend of ours, man.

He’s so unlucky, he skipped EAMCET exam drunk.

Poor guy, we all have college seats and moved on,

so we are throwing a small party since he couldn’t join us.

Okay, dude! I'll be there.

-Hey! Did you feel bad, dude? -It's okay, man.

Those who passed can be that witty. Order two beers, man.

-Hey! Come here. -Where's your phone, man?

-Hey! It's my father's phone, dude. -Oh, okay, okay, man. Got it!

-Hello! -Bokka, where are you?

Dad, I came to the temple for blessings since results are out today.

-Brother, how many beers do you want? -Hey! Shh. Tell him, guys.

-Who's that, son? -It's…Dad…

The priest was asking if the Teertham was enough.

-Hoping you'd score well… -Oh! Really?

-I came to the same temple. -What? This temple?

Ask the priest to send me some prasadam too.

-Where? -To next table!

Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!

I made a fool of him in front of his dad,

just so he wouldn’t join me in Kerala.

Yet, my stubborn Dad

made the priest sit with me and talk me out of it.

Come, son, priest wants to talk to you.

-How are the planets doing now, priest? -They're good, son.

So, son, you didn't take the EAMCET exam?

I passed out from drinking.

Silly! How can you say that?

What did Lord Krishna say in Gita?

That’s why you’re here, right? You tell me.

He told us to try without expecting the outcome.

Why try when you already know the outcome?

Hey, move along, sir.

No planet can change him.

Are you okay?

Looks like his planet isn't doing well.

Hey! Welcome Bokka!

Hey, Ananya!

What's that bandage?

A mad dog…bit me, uncle!

What's this, sir? My son was drinking at the bar yesterday.

-Your son is responsible for that. -Yeah! It's me.

Your son’s friendship cost my boy his rank and his happiness.

Stupid friendship. I'm here to cut it off.

-Come, son. -Hey! Bokka.

I secured seats for both our kids by paying a donation in Kerala.

If you agree, I shall bear the rest of the four years' expenses as well.

-We'll send them to Cochin. -Don't agree with him, Dad.

-This seems like a scam. -Hey! Wait, you idiot!

Okay!

Bloody, so long as you're paying, why do I bother?

Send him not just to Kerala, but to California if you want.

Get lost, you wastrel!

Ananya's Kerala journey got confirmed because of his greedy father.

Since he’s used to being with me, I had to go to Kerala anyway.

Well, for a drink, what’s a state’s border?

We went ahead anyway.

Say Kerala, the first thing that comes to mind is

"Aromale!"

-Hey! Nephew… -Hey, Uncle!

-This is your stay, son. -Super!

-Where's the bar, uncle? -Upstairs, beside the bedroom.

-Why don't you stay with us, son? -They're bachelors, dear!

-They will need some privacy. -You…

-You come! -Have drinks or whatever you want…

but stay happy!

-You're just super, uncle! -Cheers!

Why are praying to yourself, dude?

-What's your stamina, dude? -Half!

It keeps me strong even after a full drink.

The body is a temple, may it find bliss.

What is this, dude?

Is this a college or a resort?

Dude, they’ve placed it perfectly right between the hills.

Why else would your dad pay donation for no reason, man?

-Hi! Jameen! -You are?

-Hyderabad… phone…? -Hey! Hyderabad…

-Yeah! That's me. -Come!

Meet Jameen, dude. He's a friend of a friend and a fellow drinker.

We’re the only ones who can lift Malayalam cinema in the South, man.

[in Malayalam] Come here! Are you a junior?

-Are you ragging me? -Yeah!

If I had studied well, I’d be a lecturer to you at my age.

Sorry aunty! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

What's this, uncle?

I'll tell you later.

Hey! No matter the situation in life,

we’ll never quit drinking for life, guys.

As you say, dude!

Why is he saluting like a military soldier, dude?

He drank the military stuff, after all.

Why are you looking dull, dude?

-Some local brawl, it seems, dude. -Brawl, you say?

-What happened, man? -Leave it, dude. They're some cheap folks.

Hey! Who’s cheaper than us once we’re drunk?

-Didn't you tell him? -It's not a doctorate to tell everyone.

It's destitution.

Ignore him. In Kerala, you buy us drinks anytime.

Can’t we fight for your sake? Come on, let’s go.

Hey! Can’t you act rich for once in life?

Go tell whoever you want.

Hey, Jameen! The bar is terrific.

All’s good, but this coconut oil feels a bit odd, Jameen.

Hey, Pandey! You go and check if they're still there.

-I'll go use the restroom. -Okay, dude.

Someday we’ll surely die from all this drinking.

-Let's see if they're upstairs. -Hey! Come quickly, man.

Can't he sit down and drink, dude?

-Why, dude? -Get lost, man.

I promised my Dad that I won't do sitting.

Hey, Kumar! That gang is upstairs.

-They rounded up Ananya, dude. -Bloody hell!

My first fight in Kerala, dude.

I’ll take each one of them down with my own hands.

-Let's go! -Come on, dude.

Hey, brothers! The weather is good.

I'm done peeing. Your turn now.

They’re handling it well. Don’t mess it up, dude.

That’s exactly my purpose.

No, dude.

Hey! I'm already short.

You're shorter and you want to hit me? Come on!

Why did you even go to that bar? Why hit him?

Don’t you have anything planned in life? No purpose at all?

Why say there’s no purpose, sir? There is one.

-What's that purpose? -[both] Tell us.

After that fight, the bar was left in total chaos.

My friends were trying to negotiate with the owner.

I gulped down some weird booze lying there.

Bloody hell, my head was spinning after drinking it.

I had no idea what I was doing.

My body would stay upright even after two rounds.

But this strange booze turned me completely upside down.

Brother, wait. I'm coming too.

Let's go.

Didn't I hop on his bike?

My stomach’s all upset, sir. I couldn’t even vomit.

While I was struggling on one side

it seemed like people passed by chanting "Yesu Prabhuvu".

I had no clue, sir.

I hoped someone would rescue me.

What else then? Someone must come to save his life.

Since it's time, the heroine made her entry. Right?

-That’s why you’ve got a long run, sir. -Hey! shut up!

"Prabhuvu" is really great, sir.

Why did her saree slip that day?

Why did she step aside to adjust it?

Why was I there at that moment?

If not for fate trying to bring us together.

[in Malayalam] Who are you?

I'm a human.

Telugu?

Do we really need language in a situation like this?

-Are we watching a movie? -Is this your rickshaw?

Is it a rickshaw?

You’re really walking away while I’m talking like this?

[in Malayalam] Hey! I need help.

[in Malayalam] Help! Hello!

Shit!

Come! Come girl, come.

Water?

Breathe… breathe!

Where are you going again?

Oh mother!

You don't seem to get it. I can't breathe. Oh my god!

Feeling better?

Vomit?

-You're unable to breathe? -I can't breathe.

This is the most cringe episode I've ever seen in my life, sir.

-Why call it cringe, sir? -Then?

Do we look like fools to believe whatever you say?

That she'd give you a lip kiss as she saw you?

Sir!

You didn't see it properly. She's not kissing me, sir.

-Then? -She was giving me the breathe.

For the first time, a girl looked like an angel to me, sir.

Besides giving me the breathe, she joined me in a hospital.

Trisha, Nayantara, Keerthi Suresh, Anupama…

I didn’t realize how beautiful Malayali girls are.

But that day, I understood.

[in Malayalam] How much did you drink, son?

-Doctor! -What is it?

Do you think she has got a lover?

How would I know if she is in love or not?

Hey, girl! Close the door.

When he drank in Hyderabad, he'd stay home.

Now in Cochin, he's come to the hospital.

Sir, you look so decent, but he looks cheap.

My gosh! He got drunk and puked three whole buckets!

-Why boast at this hour? Three? -Oh Lord Guruvayurappa!

If his mother were alive, he wouldn't turned out like this!

He wouldn't have puked three buckets, either.

You're a great father! Gosh!

Hey!

Won't you change your ways, even in Kochi?

Like you'll ever stop following me and insulting me!

Lord Kalabhairava!

-Hey, I heard he's not going to college? -Yes, uncle.

-Why did I send you with him then? -Me?

Look! I want to see my boy go to college!

Nurse! Nurse!

So what now? You want me to go to class, is that it?

-Yes! -I'll go to class if you go to Hyderabad!

He keeps messing with me just because he has money.

Take care.

Useless fellow!

Namaste uncle.

Hello?

I want her in my life, man!

Dhaniyal! Dhaniyal!

Thank God you didn't call me granule!

Look man, my name is Daniel.

If you can't pronounce it properly, just call me "sir."

Don't mess it up with these Dhaniyals and granules!

[in Malayalam] Let's go!

These nets… Are they to stop pigeons falling from above?

-To save lives from below. -Did he say lives?

Our work is done. We'll leave if you settle the payment.

You get going. I'll send you the money later.

-Hey! Wrap it up soon, guys! -Okay, boss.

-Bye, uncle. -Bye, Mercy.

Today, I'll try to finish the assignment.

Oh, so you want a boyfriend now too?

Only an insane guy with a fried brain and a broken nervous system

can be your boyfriend.

He wouldn’t survive you.

They're all pretending to pay attention to the class.

Is that my breath girl?

Hey, dude! Hey!

Didn't I tell you that a girl saved me last night? It's her!

Her? She's our classmate, dude.

Classmate? I've never seen her before, dude.

Hey! The class has never seen you either!

-Hey, she's a girl, dude. Not a buffalo. -Oh!

Give me a pen.

I'm sorry.

-Important lesson, guys! Listen! -Listen! Listen!

I'm sorry.

-Hi! -Hi!

-How come you're here? -I'm in the same class.

-How are you? -Great!

Why did you drink so much?

Don't lecture me just 'cause you helped. I can barely understand his lecture.

Don't ever drink that much again. It's not good for you.

Don't talk in class. It's not good manners.

Oh no! Got caught!

-Sir, actually, he is-- -Just leave before I say "get out".

-Sir, last night-- -Leave before I say "get out!"

-Sir, but he started talking to me. -I said, leave before I say "get out!"

I'll walk out before you say "get out", sir.

Is he in our class?

Did he throw you out too?

You're a heavy figure, you know?

I'm on a good diet.

Stupid girl.

What I meant was,

when a random drunk guy fell down last night,

even though you didn't even know him, you stepped in and saved him.

That's exactly why you're a heavy figure!

Do you know how worried I was when I saw you in that situation?

Do you know how lucky I felt to be in that situation?

What?

Look, I don't know if I'm a good guy or a bad guy.

I'm not even sure if I'm the right person for you.

But I liked you from the very first moment.

-I want to give you a boon. -What boon?

My name is Abbavaram. And I'm going to give you a boon.

I'll be by your side for life. Promise!

If you like me too,

kiss me again like you did yesterday to save me.

You'll be set for life!

Hey! What did he say that's making you blush so much?

He promised me to stay with me for life!

Who'll stay with you for life?

-Hey, dude! -What?

-She has an issue. -So? Every girl has issues!

I'm telling you now, you'll regret it lifelong!

My name is Abbavaram and I granted her a boon.

Her life is set!

How come he's so confident about you?

He's the one I saved last night.

Oh, after all you've done for him, why would he leave you? He won't!

What are you blabbering about?

She asked me to teach her Telugu, so I'm teaching her about love.

-What are you telling my firend? -[in Malayalam] Love elevates our hearts!

we recognize your love, but you don't see ours.

It's about "Ka." What else, Mercy?

-Want to eat something? -Any order, madam?

-One cappuccino. -Okay, madam.

-How long would it take? -Just 15 minutes, madam.

-Sure? -I'm sure, madam.

Hey, brother. Get me the same with extra sugar.

-Okay, sir. -Go.

-Why did she start the timer? -There she goes again.

Will he start sprinting now?

Hey, Pandey, what's lacking in me?

What do you really have, besides money?

-You handle your bill. -Don't say that, man.

-What don't you have? -I don't have time sense.

She has it!

If we date each other…

Madam, here's your cappuccino.

-Sir. -Yes.

You're late by ten seconds, idiot!

-Such time sense, man! -Oh gosh!

Never be late again!

Hey! Did you lose your mind?

-I'm sorry. -Hey!

I feel like something's off with that girl.

Oh, right! You're a famous psychiatrist!

Will you finally hear me out about her?

No!

Transfer the money for those two new boats.

-Okay? -Okay Sir.

-Good morning, Dad. -Good morning, son.

You're rich, but do you have to fly to Kochi every two days and surprise us?

You surprised me by being awake so early!

Everything's changed. Want me to surprise you with a shocker?

What's that, son?

I… fell in love with a girl.

Love?!

Does she love you?

I love her. I'm sure she'll fall for me pretty soon.

Let me know when she falls for you. I'll be even more surprised then.

You think she won't fall for me, huh?

-When will you believe in your son? -Driver!

What a disgusting father!

So, nephew, were you talking about love with your dad?

Look at him, uncle! I told him about my love as he's my dad,

he didn't take it seriously at all!

Nephew!

If all acquaintances turned into love,

-love would lose its sanctity! -Wait, uncle.

You tease every woman you see even when my aunt's around,

and you're giving me love advice?

Nephew! Don't bring up my flashbacks.

I'm the greatest lover in the world.

-I know! -What do you even know?

My father and I went to a village seeking a match.

As we were walking down the street…

A crowd passed by, carrying a goddess idol.

-A miracle occurred there! -What was it, uncle?

I accidentally touched that angel's waist.

Suddenly, a song popped out of nowhere.

♪ The chilling mountain breeze ♪

♪ Striking like a blade Sending shivers through me ♪

Oh, come on, uncle. Songs play from music systems, not waistlines!

-That sounds cringe! -You know nothing about our generation!

We didn't have computers or the internet back then.

We relied on Swathi weekly magazines for everything.

Hey! You guys start to lose your energy by the time you hit 40.

Even at 60, we're still going strong!

We don't live on junk food like your generation does.

We built our strength on a ragi malt diet.

Alright, uncle, we accept that your generation was great.

-Get to the real point. -I'll tell you!

A song started playing the moment I touched her waist..

I couldn't tell who she was from behind,

but I imagined her as my lover.

I went to my dad,

"She wore a green saree, had jasmine in her hair, and wore glass bangles"

I described everything I'd seen from behind.

-Is she my aunt now, uncle? -No!

If she were your aunt, would I touch anyone else's waist?

I don't know if my father forgot about my description,

or thought I was just blabbing, but he got me married to your aunt.

I only found out it wasn't my girl when I held your aunt's waist that night.

Your aunt mistook my actions for shyness when I'd cover her face.

Since that day, I've been touching waists in the hope of feeling that feeling

-and hearing that song, nephew. -That's really sad, uncle.

Back in our days, touch was pure.

In your generation, touch is all about lust.

If you ever find that pure touch,

-hold on to it. -Pure, huh?

Your flashback may be boring, but it has some emotion, uncle.

I won't lose it. I hope you live 20 more years.

What do you mean, boring flashback?

For the first time, English feels like Malayalam to me!

I don't know this one or that one. I don't know anything!

It's easy to smuggle chits inside,

but I'll see how you'll pull it out to copy!

I won't spare anyone!

I didn't bring any chits, sir.

-Write! -What to write when I know nothing!

He is surely the collector's son!

Write!

Continue!

Go on!

How many types of lines can you draw?

let it be the questions I actually know. Please, please, please!

By the time she's done praying, the exam will be halfway over!

-What do you need, Kumar? -I need your help.

-A pen or a pencil? -Answers!

-Didn't you study? -Not used to studying!

-What if the professor sees? -No chance!

-I'll show you, but on one condition. -What's that?

I'll show you the answers if you promise not to chase behind me.

-Is that really necessary? -Do you want the answers or not?

Okay, please show me.

I'll place it to one side. Copy without disturbing me.

Oh God, I want to pass the exam.

Is he watching me?

I don't care.

I've passed them all! This is a historic milestone!

Hey, wait man!

-What's up, dude? -How did you do?

-Wait, I'll go ask. Where is she? -Why would he ask someone else

-Mercy! Mercy! -about his own exam?

-No! The answer is only five! -No way!

-Mercy! -No, it's five!

-Mercy! -It's two!

-Tell me, Kumar. -Am I definitely going to pass?

Hey! Just pass? She is the class topper, you know!

-Please move aside. -Get lost, dude.

-I'll definitely pass, right? -I wrote well, Kumar.

-I'll be in the top five. -Top five!

If you've written half of it,

-you'll be in the top ten. -Top ten!

What happened?

Everyone at home used to tease me, saying I was good for nothing.

I can't believe I'll make it to the top ten now.

Wishing you a long, happy life.

I'm in the top ten, dude!

Him, a topper?

♪ Topper in the college Topper in the college ♪

♪ Am the topper in the college ♪

Move aside.

♪ Topper in the college ♪

Move aside, you losers.

Hey! I'm in the top ten.

One… Two… Not in the top five, huh?

Not Six… Ten… Twelve… Thirteen… Hey!

Where the heck are we?

Hey! We're not on the list anywhere.

Why isn't our names there? Rigging in the exam?

Damn! Not in the top five, or in the top ten.

Everyone passed the exams except top five Mercy Joy and top ten Kumar!

-This is sad, dude. -Yeah.

Mercy Joy's feeling bad too.

Is that so? Is it really true?

-Where is she? -Over there.

This was my first answer.

-This was my second answer. -It's okay.

-You can clear the supplementary. -What's the discussion? Hey!

Kumar.

You could've just stayed calm if you didn't know the answers.

You gave me hopes of top ten and disappointed me for the first time!

I could've written some formula and some movie script and passed as usual!

I wrote well, Kumar.

Writing well isn't about writing what you know, rather what they want!

-Hey! You're talking too much. -There she is!

You're the one who said she's the class topper that day.

-I trusted blindly. -Speak decently.

After the whole drama with the entire Malayalam industry,

if you promise me that they speak decently, then I will too!

-Hey, ugh! -Hey, ugh! Same here!

-Why did you do this, Mercy? -Kumar, Mercy, the HoD sir is calling you.

-Can we come as we are? -Whatever, he wants to see you now!

If we failed after writing so many pages, there must be something wrong.

What do you say, Mercy?

-What's he looking at? -Stop blabbering.

-You'll be ripped to pieces. Hey! -Okay, sir.

Out of the five exam questions,

if the invigilator is strict, you can maybe copy one answer.

If the invigilator is distracted for some reason,

and is lenient, you can copy all five answers.

The concern here isn't whether you copied or not.

It isn't, sir?

Which idiot would copy the stricken off lines too?

I mean…

I thought they were new formulas, sir.

Shut up!

Why did you show him your paper?

He's been following me around, saying he'll grant me a boon.

I showed him only after he promised not to bother me anymore.

Is he some kind of saint, to be granting you a boon?

Hey, man! What kind of boon did you promise her?

Speak up!

I give her life if she loves me, sir. That's the boon.

Where's your dad?

Why is he looking around?

-Is she the one he's in love with? -Sir!

I'm the one who called you here.

I'm sorry.

He comes to the class drunk. What do you make of that?

If something is crossed out, it means it shouldn't be written.

He copied even that, sir.

What a brainiac!

He's following the girl around, claiming to grant boons.

What kind of upbringing is this, sir?

What should I do with him?

Tell me, sir.

Please speak up, sir.

If his mother were still alive…

Yeah, if she were alive?

He wouldn't have turned out like this, sir.

Sir, what's the link between the girl I spoke of and the mother you mentioned?

I'm not suspending him only because of your donation to the college, sir.

Your words are giving me goosebumps, sir.

I feel the same way, sir.

-Like father, like son. -Thank you, sir.

Get out!

-[in Malayalam] We'll meet again. -Thank you.

-Hey! I really pity your HOD. -I feel the same way.

Hey! Aren't you going to introduce your Kerala girlfriend to me?

-I'll do it when she falls for me. -She won't fall for you.

No need, man. Hold this.

Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!

Don't you know how to copy properly?

I don't know anything except drinking and flirting with you.

Mercy!

[in Malayalam] You look stunning in that saree!

-Happy Onam! -Happy Onam!

Hey, Kumar. Hey, Kumar!

-Hey, let's grab a drink somewhere. -No dude, it's about Mercy Joy.

Did she call me?

Someone commented on Mercy Joy.

They probably did so because she's beautiful, dude.

You should feel happy about my taste rather than feel bad about it.

-They touched her! -It must've been a mistake.

They touched her where they shouldn't!

Hey!

Don't you have any common sense?

-How did we miss her? -She's in first year, brother.

Let's celebrate with Old Monk!

Mercy, don't cry.

Please don't cry.

-Kumar. -You won't let me get near her to talk.

How could you let someone touch her inappropriately?

Come.

Come!

Hey, come!

Stupid girl. Will anyone cry over this?

Come. I'll make him apologize to you.

Let it go, Kumar.

Let it go?

I promised I'd be with you for life.

A promise is always a promise.

I don't know if you understand me,

but I have complete clarity about you.

I'm the one who'll take care of you.

Should I drink…

Or no?

Should I drink…

Or no?

Should I drink…

Or no?

Hey, they're inside.

Who are you?

I'm the one-sided lover of the girl you commented on.

Dude, commenting on girls is fine. Touching waists isn't acceptable.

Come and apologize to her.

-He doesn't know English, dude. -That's alright, come on.

I don't mind you using any Indian language,

-just say sorry, and I'll let you off. -I won't. Get lost!

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey!

Please stop it, man!

Is this build-up necessary? Why can't you drink as you normally do?

I was unnecessarily embarrassed in front of the girl. She laughed at me.

Everyone kept warning you to tone down your elevations.

What do we do now?

The same.

Hey! He's here again.

The one who came earlier was Kumar. Now it's "Quarter Kumar."

Looks like he wants more! Go guys!

How dare you touch a girl?

How dare you touch her waist?

Tell her you're sorry.

Tell her you're sorry!

Sister, I'm sorry, Sister.

Sister, please--

Hey! Tell her you're sorry…

[in unison] Sorry, sister!

That's all. Such a small matter.

Why cry over that? Happy now?

Kumar…

No one has ever done something like this for me.

Even when you promised to stay with me for life,

with an unknown fear, I never told you I liked you.

I'm telling you now.

I want to be with you for life, Kumar.

-You want to be with me for life? -For life.

My family will speak to yours.

-This was taken when my son was born. -Why did he bring photos?

-This was when he was one year old. -Let me see.

And this one…

-Was when he grew up a bit. -After what grew up?

This is the most recent one.

All these are my… Yeah.

So, if you agree, we'll have an engagement once they finish their engineering.

By the way…

It’s no surprise my son loves your daughter.

What’s surprising is that she loves him back!

I feel the same! Have some coffee, please.

She's the maid.

The maid is also a lady, right, brother-in-law?

Sir.

As you mentioned the engagement, you should know a fact about our girl.

Please go ahead.

I'll be back in a minute.

The marriage proposal is for our guy.

Where are you going, brother? Please stay there.

Okay, Father.

What is it, Meera?

We got B.P. and diabetes from worrying about Mercy's Marriage.

We're taking tablets for it.

Why don't you accept the proposal?

Let's just send Mercy to their house.

What's there to accept? Saying "yes" would be enough.

They'd laugh if they knew the truth about our girl.

The elders say weddings are built upon a castle of lies!

Elders? They said their piece and left.

But if we don't share the truth about our girl, they'll get upset.

What are you looking for?

The maid seems to be okay, but I haven't seen the lady of the house.

You wouldn't have turned out like this if your sister were still alive.

I've never asked for anything since our marriage.

Just do this for me. Please, Danny.

Okay.

I took my wife's opinion into consideration.

What did she say?

She agreed to whatever you said.

-Okay! -Namaste.

Your kitchen looks colorful. I mean…

-What's so colorful about it? -I'm not aware, Father.

The girl accepted. Your families fixed the wedding.

What's the life-and-death matter here?

-Get to the main plot, I beg you! -Me too!

The girl accepted my proposal.

Our families met and fixed our engagement.

Ananya and I started partying once we found out.

The real issue was revealed then.

What was it?

Mercy…

Hi Mercy!

Kumar, what are you up to?

-Me? I'm partying. -Okay, listen.

Let's meet up tomorrow.

-I have something important to discuss. -Why?

Did you remember our kiss?

Kumar…

We're meeting at 11 am tomorrow at Swargam Coffee Shop.

Let's meet.

-Are you sure? -Sure!

-Promise!? -I definitely won't miss it.

Okay, good night.

-You guys are messier than me… -Full bottle, just for you!

-Let's enjoy guys! -Get lost, dude.

-Mercy! -Where are we meeting?

Hey, Swargam Coffee Shop.

-And the time? -At 11 o'clock.

If you're even one percent uncertain, let me know now.

You sleep. I'll definitely come.

Why is she calling so many times?

-Mercy! -Name of the coffee shop?

At 11 am, I'll be at Swargam Coffee Shop. Alright?

-Is that a promise? -Why do you keep asking?

-Is it confirmed? -I'll be there at 11 a.m. sharp.

Is it a promise, Kumar?

I'm one hundred percent sure.

[in Malyalam] Sir, she booked the whole cafe for two hours.

-Is there an event? -It's none of your business.

Good morning, ma'am.

-Good morning. -May I take your order?

-Someone's coming. -Oh, okay, ma'am.

Ma'am!? What happened, ma'am? What happened?

Ma'am!

Sir! Sir! Sir!

Sir, please come here! Come quickly, sir! Please come!

Ma'am! Ma'am!

-She ruined my business. -Ma'am, ma'am, the door is open.

-I don't need milk. -It's not that.

I said I don't need milk. Can't you understand?

-It's about Kumar. -Even if Kumar says, I don't need milk.

It's about Mercy.

What's the connection between Mercy and our folks?

I'm wearing a Rolex watch, a gold chain and a bracelet,

do I look like a milk vendor to you?

Even they wear these days.

I'm Mercy's uncle. I want to meet Kumar.

-Uncle!? -Yes.

What's this?

The house looks royal from outside, but it's disgusting inside.

-Is he dead or alive? -He's dead drunk, uncle.

Where's my son-in-law in this mess?

I'll show you, uncle.

-Hey, Kumar. -Yeah?

Mercy… Mercy is here.

-Who's Mercy? -Oh, God! Mercy Joy, dude.

Oh, Mercy Joy!

What's this milk vendor doing in the house?

I said the same thing. He beat me up.

He's Mercy's uncle.

Uncle! What brings you here, uncle?

You didn't go to meet Mercy Joy today.

So I came to meet you.

Oh, I'll meet her uncle. Why did you come for that?

-I'll go. -What time did she say?

-By 11 am, uncle. -What's the time now?

-What's the time, dude? -It's 1:30 p.m., dude.

1:30 p.m.

She insisted that we meet at 11.

-It's already late. I'll go, uncle. -Wait!

Do you know where Mercy Joy is?

Where else, uncle? Either at the coffee shop or at home.

No! She's in the ICU!

Why didn't he come? He would've come. Why didn't he?

He would've come! He would've come!

Why didn't he come? Why didn't he?

Damn! Damn!

-Why did she drink phenyl, uncle? -She has an issue.

If something doesn’t go according to her plan, she gets hurt.

You're ten seconds late, idiot.

P.T.S.D.

She's suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Doesn't she know that we can meet in the evening, if morning fails?

-Weren't you aware of her problem? -No, I wasn't.

If someone breaks their promise, she tries to end her life.

She would've stressed one particular thing to you.

Do you remember?

Kumar, if you're even one percent uncertain, please let me know now.

Is it confirmed?

Promise? Promise?

Is it really a promise?

She didn't drink phenyl out of anger.

She attempted suicide because you didn't show up on time.

-She's still alive, right? -If she is, we'll go to the hospital.

If anything happens to her, we'll go to the police station.

-Why the police station, uncle? -Do you realize you can be arrested

for lying and hurting a girl with mental issues?

-Arrest?! -Let's go to the hospital first, uncle.

I'm scared after hearing this.

Poor girl, sir. She drank phenyl because of this guy's carelessness.

He can't behave properly for a second.

She'll die if he misbehaves for even one second!

How is it even possible for them to be in love?

I feel like cursing him.

Let's have some tea and come back.

-You have some too, please. -Please come.

Sir! Sir! Sir! Sir!

What could’ve happened, sir? What happened next?

How would I know? Open it.

Hey, sit down.

Don't shout.

Oh, it's the second half, right?

I can handle two full bottles, but what she did really shook me.

I kept praying to Jesus

-to save Mercy, no matter what. -Hello, excuse me!

What're you guys doing here?

Move aside.

Mother Mary, please save her.

Doctor! How's she doing now?

Now she's fine.

-Oh my god! -What’s your relation to her?

I don't want to be related to her in any way.

Uncle, I’m shook to the core.

What's all this, Uncle?

What happened to the Mercy Joy I once knew?

How did she end up like this?

What happened, Uncle?

Mercy is my brother's daughter.

My brother and his wife were always busy with their business.

Mercy, be ready by evening. We're heading out, okay?

Every day I hear the same thing. Will you really come?

Don’t make a sad face, Mercy. I’ll definitely come.

-Promise? -Promise, my baby.

-Promise. -Bye.

-Bye. -Bye!

It's time. I'm leaving.

What? The game's not over yet.

I told you yesterday, didn't I?

That I'm going to the exhibition.

Are you really going?

Dad promised me.

So he'll take me. Bye.

While her friends’ parents kept their promises,

Mercy’s parents always broke theirs.

That made Mercy feel lonely and suffer in silence.

Mercy…

Mercy…

What happened, Mercy?

-What happened, dear? -You promised…

that you'd take me out.

But you never do.

I get ready on time.

You know how I feel then, Mom? I feel all tensed up.

It hurts here, Mom.

-Mercy, don't cry. -Dear, Mercy…

What's not to understand in this?

You don’t spend time with Mercy at all.

That’s why you have all these problems.

I'll take care of it, brother.

Albert, take care of the business. I'll look after Mercy.

I understood.

Just be at the office tomorrow.

Let's finish the formalities.

-Now it's your turn. -Okay!

-Mercy, Mom’s on the phone. -Hello!

Mercy, we’ll be home in 15 minutes.

The promise I made you today will not be broken.

We'll be there in 15 minutes. Okay?

Okay!

My sister-in-law left the business for good for Mercy's sake.

But they had to break the promise, again.

Mercy was angry at them for breaking their promise.

The reason wasn’t their negligence this time.

It was their death in a car accident.

-I won't come, I won't. -Come and have a look at Mom and Dad.

-Come, dear. -They broke my promise.

-So, I won't come. -Mercy!

Mercy!

From then on, we took responsibility for Mercy

and didn’t want children of our own.

We thought the things Mercy did as a child

were because of our pampering.

-Later, we understood… -Oh no! Don't do that, dear.

Mercy, listen to me. Mercy!

I did promise that I'd bring Strawberry, dear.

But got vanilla instead because it was time to cut the cake.

How can you behave this way over that?

You broke my promise.

-I'll die. -No, dear. Don't.

Why did you cut your hand over such a petty thing, dear?

I don't know, Uncle. I just felt like doing it at that moment.

Take the girl outside.

What happened, doctor?

It's called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

When the work isn’t done on time or doesn’t deliver the expected results…

we’ll be badly hurt.

In this case, Mercy lacks self-control,

so she’s trying to hurt herself.

She can’t tell whether it’s a minor incident or a major one.

She tends to attempt suicide over everything.

If you break any commitment to her,

she quickly feels uncared for,

decides she’s worthless, and attempts suicide.

-Is there any treatment for this, doctor? -She needs counseling.

But I couldn’t quite figure out what stage she’s at.

Do one thing.

Say you’ll take her somewhere.

Then tell her the program’s been cancelled.

If she tries to hurt herself,

tell her you’ll do the same.

Tell me how she reacts to it.

You said we’d go to the exhibition.

Why is everyone standing on the chairs now?

We're not going to the exhibition.

Hey, Mercy! If you try anything reckless,

we'll commit suicide for real.

You broke my promise. You don't love me.

So you all die, and I’ll die too.

Hey, hey! Mercy! Stop it. Hold this.

-Hold it tight. Don't let go. -Let go of me. Leave me.

-Don't let go of my hand. -I'll jump! Leave me!

If she did that despite your blackmail,

Mercy's condition is very severe.

Is there no solution for this, doctor?

Self-control is the only solution.

Until then, don’t break any commitment or promise you've made.

That’s why we used to take care of her every day with the utmost care.

But we’re scared of unexpected phone calls.

There was some call or another from the school almost every day.

Are you teaching them through punishment

instead of helping them understand?

We didn’t hit her, sir.

She slammed herself against the bench

because the teacher started class late.

You punish the kids for being late. Why not the teachers?

What are you saying, sir? It’s normal to be late sometimes.

You’d slam your head like you’re crazy just over this?

Madam, how dare you call her crazy over such a petty thing?

Please don’t use that word.

Kids who behave like that are called "mentally ill."

Though she didn’t look like it, Mercy felt pain inside.

That’s why, until now,

if anyone insulted her by calling her “crazy” or “mentally ill,”

we’ve sued them.

After that incident at school, she lost all her friends.

One day, Mercy introduced Priya as her best friend.

From then on, Priya would tell us everything that happened outside.

Then I used to file lawsuits against them.

After all these years, you came into her life.

What do you mean I entered her life?

Don’t drag me into your family matters.

Listen here, Abbavaram,

Mercy Joy only loved you after you gave her the approval.

I should have filed a case against you by now.

But I held back because she loved you.

Uncle, we’re just college kids.

I liked her and loved her because she was pretty.

I have the choice to step back if I'm not fond of her.

Don’t make this any more complicated.

You don't have a choice. She’ll take phenyl again.

I’d have to drink kerosene every day if she stays in my life.

I’m begging you. Don’t try to scare me with all this.

I’d be better off in Telugu films than Malayalam ones.

Everything was fine till now, dude. Why the thriller effects all of a sudden?

Don’t shake your legs, son. It’s a bad omen.

I’m not doing it, Grandma.

My legs started shaking when I heard her story.

Oh God!

-Why would she die if I get drunk? -Who's Kumar here?

You? She just regained consciousness. She wants to see you.

Go, see her.

She drank phenyl for not going before. Will she drink my blood if I go now?

Should I go?

-Kumar! -Oh my gosh!

What?

Why's she screaming like that, bro?

Hey! You old--

Bloody idiot! Why didn’t you come on time as promised?

Hey! I'm talking to you. Where did you put the phone?!

Where did you put the phone?

Where did you put the phone?

-I lost it. -What?

-It's gone. -How did you lose it?

What am I supposed to tell her now?

Ananya and I went out last night.

We took the wrong route, and got hit by a guy coming the other way.

He got hurt badly, I fell, and my phone went missing.

I panicked seeing his injuries,

took him to the hospital, and informed his family.

Then I went to the police station to sign and went back to the coffee shop for you.

They said you’d had your coffee and left.

So I rushed back to the hospital to check on him and ran into your uncle.

He goes, “Kumar! What a surprise. What are you doing here?”

I asked why he was there, and he told me sadly

he was admitting you to the hospital because you weren’t well.

I felt the weight of that and came here looking for you.

-I'll be dead if you ask me anything more. -Oh!

Kumar, come here.

You want me to come?

She's asking me to come closer. What will she do now?

-Let’s play this one smart. -Come.

Oh, you need my hand?

Here!

-Are you all right? -For now, yeah.

Have a seat.

What’s with all this sudden love?

Or am I just overthinking it?

I’ll try asking her casually.

My dear Mercy Joy, why did you do that?

I have a small problem.

It could've killed her and she calls it "a small problem"?

Joy, rest joyfully. We'll catch up later at college.

Oh man, I’ll die if I hear her story again.

Kumar!

-Kumar! -Oh man, I’m stuck here.

Kumar, I want to tell you something important.

What's she going to tell now?

Both our families have approved of our relationship.

Yet, we never proposed to each other.

I love you, Kumar.

You didn't say it back.

Do it, Kumar.

If I say it, I’m finished. If I don’t, she’ll be crushed.

What do I do now?

You love me too, right?

Yes, I do.

Then say, "I love you too."

Yeah, I do. I do.

Could you please step out for a bit? I need to change the dress.

You know what? You’re not a nurse. You're Mother Mary.

Oh, gosh!

-Hey, Kumar, let's play Ludo, man. -Ludo, my foot!

-She’s messing with me inside, man. -What happened, bro?

Hey, Pandey, I desperately need some courage.

You must’ve lost your mind from Mercy’s shock.

This is a hospital. You get medicine here, not booze.

Hospital…

Booze…

Wow!

Sir, why are you drinking here? Is someone in your family dying?

I’m the one who might die soon. Make sure to collect my body here.

-Please cut it gently, bro. -Huh?

The body is a temple, may it find bliss.

I’m full of energy now.

-Time to show her how crazy I can get. -See that, sir?

He knew there’d be booze with the mortuary workers.

and sniffed it like a hungry dog.

What a general knowledge!

[in Malayalam] Must be useful general knowledge, huh!

See how she reacts the second I say it.

I’m going to show my craziness to your daughter.

♪ The heart… ♪

I’ve known Mercy for 20 years.

Now he’ll see her true self.

Kumar.

Why’re you staring at me like that?

I proposed, and where did you go?

Hey!

Don’t be childish. Act mature, like me!

What happened now, Kumar?

You Gen Z folks will never understand. Ugh!

Listen, my dear Joy! It's true that we both fell in love,

and it’s right to believe that our love should flourish.

None of us has a problem with that.

But do you know what the real issue is?

Love stories that work in other states fail here.

The issue? Fundamentals.

We lack them. That’s why our stories flop!

To be specific,

we hit Malayalam love stories at AMB Cinema Hall.

But we have a problem with Telugu love stories.

Because our movies lack the art and intensity that theirs do.

So, in the end, what I’m saying is…

Even if our love fails, love itself should thrive.

I can’t do more than this.

Kumar, why are you telling me all this?

Hey! Even after all this, you’re still annoying me? Breakup!

She must’ve freaked out seeing my craziness.

Hey! Even after all this, you’re still annoying me? Breakup!

You scoundrel! What do you mean by "breakup?"

-Breakup, huh? -Mercy!

Breakup!

Mercy, I'm sorry. Don't do it.

You don’t love me! Is this some kind of joke to you?

I love you too, three, four… infinity damn it!

It's a joke, huh? Breakup is a joke?

Kumar, I love you!

Oh my gosh!

Did you drink?

Yes, Joy! I’m not a drunkard. I just had a quarter for courage.

Listen, Kumar.

All this happened because you didn’t arrive on time.

You’re crazy for drinking phenyl and telling me not to drink, dumbass.

The reason you're late…

-is because you got drunk. -Yeah, right.

-No more drinking from today. -Hey!

Joy! I can’t live without booze. It’s my weakness.

-You must not drink, Kumar! -Hey!

I beg you! Don't shout again.

I'm not in a position to kiss you either. I’m already freaked out.

Please!

I’ll find a way. Please don’t die. I won’t drink.

Promise?

No need of hand. Promise!

Then what about last night's promise?

Last night's promise?

Did you forget already?

What could I have promised to her?

Promise?

Promise.

Promise!

Hey!

I didn't forget.

I remember.

I made all these promises while drunk?

Hey, Kumar.

Everything’s going to be fine.

Thank God!

Everything seems fine,

but she says I promised her something, bro.

You forgot your promise?

-She has a section, you know? -Shut it, man!

Stop harassing me with your sections. I might die at this rate.

I kept warning you about her.

You said, “it’s Abbavaram. I can handle her.”

You didn’t listen then. Now pay the price.

I even told you a couple of times that she seems really weird.

You didn’t listen. Enjoy.

Where did you come from? You’re the absolute worst.

You fell in love with her despite the warnings.

You must be a child blessed by the devil.

He didn’t even brush his teeth.

Priya, please find out what I promised her.

Worthless!

♪ Good times are coming You’ll rock it, bro! ♪

♪ If the timing’s off It's K-Ramp, bro! ♪

Kumar, I feel like eating ice cream.

Ice cream at this hour? Are you crazy? Go to sleep.

Oh no! She might die from this too.

You told me to sleep. So what’s this?

You go on.

♪ If one peg gets you buzzing You’re all set, bro! ♪

-What's Kumar doing? -Him?

What exactly did I promise her?

Now he's realizing it, bro.

Hey, Kumar. Did you remember the promise you made to her?

♪ If you laugh at yourself It’s K-Ramp, bro… ♪

Why is she here?

-Hey, move. -Hey!

Hey, push her out, right now.

-Hey! Come closer. -Cut it out, man.

-Where is she? -I pushed her out the window.

I wonder where she went. I’m leaving, man.

Hey, Pandey! Did you find out what I promised her?

Sir, your order?

-One cappuccino. -Okay, ma'am.

-How long will it take? -Exactly 15 minutes, ma'am.

You haven't changed at all. Get lost.

-Why did you bring it? -You have it.

Playing carrom so leisurely now, are you?

-Come, have a seat. -Hey!

The man’s in pain, and you’re playing carrom?

-Oh no! -Where's Mercy?

She's upstairs.

Kumar! How's the life?

Oh, really? Enjoy!

Hey!

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you switch off your phone?!

My phone's been switched off.

-Then why are you drinking poison?! -This isn’t poison. It’s cough syrup.

Cough syrup?

How do I get out of this now?

What happened to the promise you made to me?

I'm on it.

Calm down.

-I don't know what would happen to me. -Calm down.

Every time I felt lost, she'd kiss and convince me.

What kind of promise could he have made?

What could he possibly have done?

-If you read this, you'll know. -Yes.

I’m lost in my own fun, forgetting that promise, sir.

[upbeat Malayalam song playing]

Kumar!

Oh no! She saw it.

Mercy.

They said Kerala girls look beautiful--

-Did you forget what you promised me? -How could I forget that?

The exam’s at 11, and you’re out here dancing at 10:40!

Wait, I promised you I’d attend the exam?

Once I pass and go to the second year,

you’ll still be stuck in the first year.

Can you pass the exams for me?

Exams? Kumar will pass all the subjects this time.

-Promise? -Promise!

-Really? -Promise.

-Sure? -Promise!

-Again, I'm asking. -Promise.

Okay, promise.

Promise.

Kumar…

I'll pass!

Damn this life.

If I’d known life would turn out like this,

I’d have ended it long ago.

There's no power in this?

Who's this guy?

-Sir, the exam's at 11, right? -Yes.

Not a single person has time sense, sir. Nobody’s here yet.

You’re the one with no common sense.

This is a core exam, and you’re the only one who failed.

Go and finish it.

I can't understand a thing.

What's my situation if I don't write the exam?

Kumar…

You will pass the exam, right?

No! Let's write something.

If I fail…

Why did she climb up there?

Why is she jumping off? Why is she jumping?

She might as well jump.

I don’t know anything at all. What am I supposed to do now?

Hey! Where are you running off to?

Hey! Don't do it, Mercy! Don't do it!

Don't do it, Mercy! Don't do it! Don't do it!

She's dead! She'll die.

What should I write?

She’ll never understand me.

I’ll write it so the professor won’t dare fail me.

Sir, Kumar is struggling. Please do something and help him pass

-You do it. -I shouldn't.

-Get lost. -Okay.

Go! Everyone's an expert.

-You called me, sir? -Yeah.

Did you read the whole thing, sir?

I hope you get my emotion, sir.

Somehow pass this helpless illiterate. Please sir.

-I did get your emotion. -Thank you, sir.

But as a lecturer, I have certain ethics.

Even though you officially took the exam, you’ve failed.

Unofficially, I'll give you a chance.

-What is it, sir? -You must take the exam before me.

I'll give you five questions.

If you get even one answer right, I’ll pass you.

You read the whole thing, yet you still don’t get me.

I’m so illiterate, I can’t even get one question right.

Sir, I’m begging you. It's a matter of life and death.

Please just pass me somehow.

If needed, I can build a college, sir.

Even if you die, you must answer a question.

This man! Keeps buzzing my phone simply because I was born to him.

-Hello? -Hey…

I’ve arranged a party at the farmhouse for your birthday

so our family and Daniel’s can meet.

Given our situation, is a birthday party really necessary, Dad?

Stop it.

Jenty and Bunty are coming. Pick them up at the airport.

Why are those idiots coming?

Advance happy birthday, Paul.

Why call me Paul? Did you convert to Christianity?

In Canada, we usually address friends as “pal.”

I couldn't pronounce it well, so it became "Paul."

Oh, here to milk us for money, huh?

What’s this, pal? We came all the way from Canada,

and your face shows no excitement!

I’m not the same as before. Love has changed me completely.

How dare you? There’s situationship and breadcrumbing.

-Who falls in love these days, pal? -I had to.

-Ugh! -She loved even after knowing you?

I loved her, even though I didn’t really know her.

Anyways, the past is past. Whatever's happened has happened.

-Let's have a beer, pal. -Alright, come.

-Let’s drink in the room. -Beer tastes like water indoors.

But if we drink by the beach in a bar, even water tastes like beer, pal.

If she finds out I drank, she will kill me.

Drinking outdoors isn't allowed for me, bro.

Hey, we've come all the way from Canada

and you keep saying about a room in Kerala.

-You don't get the situation, dude. -Don't mind him.

We'll go to the bar, pal.

-In the room. -We're going to bar.

-In the room. Room! Room! -Bar! Bar! Bar!

Now tell me,

when you’ve got a bumper offer like a situationship,

why did you fall in love like an outdated person?

That day, I had a strange booze, dude.

I went wild after drinking. Then she showed up.

She keeps saying she'd die. Hundred years to her.

-Hello. -Kumar.

-Tell me. -What are you doing?

I'm outside.

-What do you mean by, "outside?" -It means, "outdoor."

Okay, I'm packing my bag. So, select some colors for me. Okay?

-I’ll video call you. -Video call?

Help me pack.

This one…

these are the colors.

This looks good. Oh my gosh!

Why is he feeling nervous?

I might die from this nervousness.

-Pal seems upset. -Yeah.

-I’m upset. Did you even notice that? -I escaped. Did you notice that?

For a mere video call,

you're managing while doing stunts on a car?

-Any problem? -She's the problem.

Hope there are no familiar ones around.

Wait here. I'll get a beer.

-We'll drink and get lost. -I'm still upset, by the way.

I’m getting bored from being upset all the time.

Pal, sister pal's video call.

Should we pick up the call to get to know her?

-How do I look? -Let's do it. Super!

Hello, sister. How's it going?

Who the hell are you?

She’s like a sister, so it’s fine.

Actually, we came from Canada to celebrate Pal's birthday.

We’re best friends, and we flew here in business class.

-Are you in a bar? -No, we're in a school.

Extra paper teacher! Of course, we're in a bar.

-Are you drinking? -Obviously!

-Is Kumar also drinking? -Huh?

If you see Kumar opening a beer bottle in style,

you’ll be shocked.

-Huh? -I'm saying you'll be shocked.

Yeah.

Of course, I'd be shocked.

Show me.

I love your desperation. I'll show you, huh?

Watch him.

-Kumar! -Yes, it's Kumar!

Are you shocked?

She probably fainted from the shock. The call got disconnected!

Thank you.

-Tell me now, guys. -Too late, huh?

What was I saying?

I had a strange booze, dude.

-After I drink-- -Forget it, man. She’s not your type.

She's too moody.

How do you know about her mood swings?

We just interacted.

-Interacted? -She just video-called.

Vid… what do you mean by “video call”?

I picked up the call to get to know her better.

For friendship’s sake, I wanted to elevate you a bit,

so I let her see you pop the beer open.

She was shocked, and just hung up the call.

-She didn’t even say a proper bye. -You--

Mercy!

Mercy! What the hell are you doing? Mercy! Mercy!

Indian Gen Z couples will never change, bro!

-Mercy! Mercy! Listen to me. -Stupid!

Hello Mercy, from New Jersey!

-What's going on? -Hey! You have no idea about her.

You’re blackmailing my friend and controlling his drinking now?

You bloody, dominating, typical lover!

Don’t assume he’s alone in this.

-[in Hindi] We're his friends from Canada! -Stop it, man.

Grab the tomato ketchup, mix it with the noodles, and dig in!

You drunkard! Does this look like tomato ketchup to you?

-Yes! It is! -Wait! I'll show you!

Did she cut off?

What's the old man up to now?

Pick up the call!

-Pal! Pal! Let's go to Canada. -At this hour…

Pal!

Graphic violence! Explicit images!

Damn this life!

What is she doing? Cutting it like it’s a coconut?

Then why the hell did you show me on the video call?

Seriously? She’d kill herself over this?

That’s the problem. She’d die if we don't do as she says.

It's called Post Traumatic… [talking gibberish]

Don't even try!

She's a danger to society. She should be eliminated!

Kumar!

Go upstairs, uncle. Now!

-How's life? -Argh, same as before!

Listen! Go upstairs right now, or you’ll suffer the same fate as me!

-What happened? -You old--

She cut her hand!

-Why? -I’m begging you, uncle. Please go.

Do you know I could file a Section 66K case against you?

Hey! Press all the charges you want. Now go upstairs!

Hey! Tell me what's going on.

Hey! Do you eat human food or animal food?

What’s with these dumb questions while people are dying?

Go give her first aid, you pal from Paris!

Who the hell are these weirdos?!

Which planet did they come from?

They're from Port Kutch, dude.

They belong in an asylum. What are they doing in Port Kutch?

I wonder the same.

Hey! Your lover is an official terrorist!

It’s best to break up with her as soon as possible.

Why didn't you tell us earlier?

You think this is wedding news? It's death news.

Anyway, I thought you’d have some booze and leave

but you kept screwing me over with this “pal” nonsense.

Book tickets to Canada.

Mercy!

Hey, stay silent. Hey… Kutty!

Why’d you drink when I told you not to?

Listen to me, Kutty.

My best friends showed up after ages. I had to drink!

Are your idiots still there?

-Sorry… -I'm upset.

Alright. Let's go to a pub tonight.

A pub? Why?

With everyone drinking, you need to control yourself.

Have you gone mad? When everyone's drinking--

Psych--

"With everyone drinking, you need to control yourself?"

She’s a total psychopath, like in Korean movies.

How on earth are you handling her, dude?

I can't take it anymore.

Let's do this.

I’ll buy a 75-rupee ticket on the Narayanadri Express

from Nellore to Tirupati and sit by the door.

Shove me out the door! I’ll die!

What's the point of being here when our best friend is no more?

-Book a ticket to Canada. -Okay, pal.

You guys are selfish pals.

What happened Mercy? Why aren't you here yet?

We still have some time.

Can’t believe I got here early. Ugh!

Hey, why don’t you guys come in? I could use some company.

I can't bear with that terrorist.

-Will you? -No.

-Our pal can do it. -He'll slip and fall!

For God’s sake, just go back to Canada.

I always end up making friends with losers.

Let's go back to Canada, pal.

The flight just left. Let’s get on the next one.

-The terrorist is here. -I don't have eyes.

I'm blind.

Yes. I lost my vision in an accident.

She left.

Scary girl!

Guess who?

Mercy!

How did you guess that so perfectly?

I’ve been waiting for you. Who else would show up if not you?

She can't think on her feet but her temper's through the roof!

I have to calm her down somehow.

Your touch is very special to me.

It’s the most special touch I’ve felt since childhood.

-Really? -Yeah! Really!

No else's is special to me.

My heart keeps chanting "Mercy".

Guess who?

Guess, again?

Anitha!

How did you remember me after four years?!

You used to look good. What happened to you?

Where's she going?

Why didn't you just say hi

instead of playing hide and seek with me, stupid.

Mercy! Open the lock. Mercy! Mercy!

I beg you! Please Mercy!

Mercy! What are you doing? I don't know her, Mercy.

-I beg you! Please Mercy! -I know.

Is my touch special?

Please, understand, Mercy. I didn't do anything.

-I don't know her at all. -How do you even know her touch?

-Hello. -Do something. Please.

Save her, man. Please, I beg you.

-What happened? -She's going to jump!

I'll jump. I'll jump.

I'll jump from here!

-I'll do something. -Is this Dookudu film?

We should catch her!

Uncles, hide your bananas!

Where did you guys go locking it?

Ma’am, please listen. We’re the ones who saved you.

It's like catching a wild pig!

-Hold her! Hold her! -Leave me. Let go!

-Let go of me. -Why is she kicking me?

-Jeez! -We'd better go back to Canada.

This is yours, right?

Move aside. Where is she?

-She's here. She's inside. -In the car.

Go on.

-Who is she? Who is she?! -Listen to me, Mercy.

Who's she? You said my touch is special.

-Who's special? -Listen to me!

-I wanna die! I wanna die! -I'm in no way related to her.

-No! I wanna die! -I'll prove it with her.

-Who is she? Who's she? -Listen to me, Mercy!

What's happening inside, pal?

Better have a closer look at this horror show, pal.

-You think it's a horror show? -Can you see anything?

-I'm telling you. -You're a cheat!

-School friend?! -Listen to me! No one else's is special.

How could you feel the touch of another woman?

-She won't listen unless I kiss-- -How could you?

Mercy!

-You really love me? -I only love you.

No one else. Only you.

You have no memory of another person?

I love you, Mercy!

You're really a possessive pookie.

Promise, right?

Please!

The second flight also left.

The flight’s gone?

I don't think it would work if such a situation were ever to come up.

Jenty and Bunty,

please don't go to Canada.

We won't.

And sorry for the trouble.

-It's okay. -See you at the farmhouse.

-Yeah. He'll see you! -Bye, baby!

-I've been waiting for you to say that. -Love you!

Go, just leave!

God! I can't do it anymore.

Seems like you had a full-on romance with kisses.

You cuffing seasonal guy.

Bro, when we kiss, we get feelings down there, right?

They’re trembling out of fear, man.

You better break up with her, pal.

-What do you say? -Yes, pal.

Tomorrow, at the farmhouse itself.

She's a psycho!

-Hi! How are you? -I'm good!

Namaste.

Look there. Hello Papa, how are you?

Ah, this guy's just like my son? Who's this guy?

It's your son, Papa! See, the birthmark's here.

-Ugh! Even that's in such a lousy spot! -My wishes to the source.

-What's this sudden shock now? -I'm already in shock!

You're the shock, man! How can you be shocked?

I met Kumar's girlfriend on the way.

Oh, really? She's such a sweet girl, man.

Greetings!

She's nice, but her head's messed up.

She's a terror too, man!

Go freshen up, go take a bath.

We just came from Canada and even we have that clarity.

He's been watching since they got together, but never had it.

-What did you say? -Papa! Very much a poor guy!

I should have used a condom that one night.

-Use it now. That will do. -Huh?

-Hello! Is that you… -Greetings, sir.

-I'm doing well. Thank you! -Namaste.

Stay away from him till the function's done. That's better.

It's the same touch! The same song!

-That girl is married, bro? -Not a girl, bro, she's an aunty!

-That's what! Is that aunty married? -Yeah, she's married.

-How do you know? -I'm her husband, that's how.

Please go ahead.

-Lawyer sir! -Yes, sir.

Can I get married at this age?

-You can get married so long as it works. -Thanks!

Aren't you married already?

-I still want to marry her. -That lady, huh?

-What about your wife then? -I'll just divorce her.

Paul!

What about her husband then?

Congratulations, a new case has popped up.

-You'll have to handle the divorce. -Paul!

I'll handle the divorce only if there's a fight.

I'm not a lawyer to start fights and then handle divorce.

Papa…

Every time I think you can't stoop lower, you disappoint me again.

But when I'm around, I won't let any injustice happen to my mom.

No chance.

-Hey… -Hi!

-Is this your son? -Yeah, he's my son.

He should've been my son.

But I got you instead!

Even on a Boeing flight, I would've been born, Dad.

Every demon like Hiranyakasipu has a son like Prahalad.

Paul, we can't handle such chaos. Let's go to Canada, Paul.

Seeing all this chaos, why Canada, Paul?

I have to save my mom. First, I'll stop dad, come.

Why are your eyes so red?

You're a Mom after all!

All that care for shampoo, if only it went to your family, we wouldn't be here.

Be careful! I don't want any evil eyes on you.

Show!

Shall we place a bet?

I'll tell you what the bet is.

First round, if I have a show…

-Huh, -Have a show?

You'll have to divorce your wife.

If you have a show, why should I divorce my wife?

-Are you happy with your wife? -We're so happy.

-Is she happy with you? -She likes me tons.

Huh, no point in this game. You guys play by yourselves.

Why’s he upset that my own wife likes me?

I never thought I'd celebrate such a worst birthday--

Hey Kumar, didn't expect you to do this.

Isn't my daughter there? My brother's daughter too.

Aunt's daughter is also there.

We'd have gotten you married somehow.

I'm thinking about the cinema chaos, and he's discussing the lineup.

Oh! Here she is.

-Shh! -Why shh?

You abandoned ethics, basics, and even shame, Dad.

What's this filthy behavior?

I'm your son! I want a damn explanation.

-Explanation, huh? -Yes.

Hey! Come here.

-What's this? -It's ice!

-How is it? -Too cool!

This is her waist. You leave.

-What's this? -It's sambar!

You get it now? This is your Mom's waist.

My sin…

Paul, what are you thinking instead of breaking up?

Looking into Mercy's eyes, it's hard to say I don't like her.

That means you like her.

But I couldn't handle her torture either.

That's what they call trouble.

I couldn't handle all these emotions, bro.

Hey Kumar, if it's troubling you, leave it to your dad.

He's our elder… respect can be lost.

Who else is there?

-My dad burned me! -What happened?

Uncle!

Uncle, even lust has limits.

-He's my dad. Please don't say that. -Then you say it.

Even lust has limits, Papa!

-You wouldn't be if there were. -Father--

Uncle, I need help. Only you can do it.

I'll do it, son.

-Are you sure? -I'm sure.

You're confident, right?

Move.

I've never been this confident in my life.

Yeah, I get it, uncle.

Tell me what I should do.

I'm thinking of breaking up with Mercy, uncle.

She seems like such a nice girl, why do you want to break up?

Even my mom is a good woman, didn't you betray her?

My sin, please shut up! Hey! Say whatever you want.

You can't breakup with that girl--

Uncle, I don't know how to explain her problem to you.

Hey Paul, practicals!

One practical session with that girl and you'll get clarity, uncle.

Let's ignore the break up for now. I like practicals.

We'll think about the break up after practicals, okay?

So simple, uncle.

You said she's taking you shopping, tell her you'll take her instead.

-Alright! -Uncle… uncle…

After you say you'll take her, you must promise, uncle.

Promise is very important.

-Okay! -Super!

Don't say "swear", say "promise"!

You wouldn’t even exist if I had just held back that one day.

Same thought. I don’t want to live this way.

I'll be back.

He should get bashed.

Your dad’s still rocking that swag even at this age, man.

She looks like Seetha from SVSC, man!

How can you even think of breaking up?

Leave all that aside. Did you promise her?

Yeah, a strong promise.

-She would've told you a time. -Yeah, ten minutes.

-Then wait. -For what?

The practical experience! You love these practicals, don't you?

Three minutes!

Five minutes!

Seven minutes!

Michael Jackson!

Nine minutes!

Ten minutes!

-Time's up. -Uncle, uncle…

Now go tell her you're busy, can't take her out.

I'm free now, so why wouldn't I?

Dad, it's all practical!

You shut up!

Dad, have you ever seen a terrorist?

Why would a lover meet a terrorist?

You never know?

-Lover… -Oh, you Korean lover!

Go!

-I wonder what she'd do to him. -He'll survive.

-Hey, dear? -All done, uncle.

No need, dear. We're not going.

-Why not? -I'm just a bit busy.

Didn't you promise me?

I only promised for fun. The program's cancelled now.

Say that again.

It's cancelled, dear. I only promised it for fun.

Repeat that.

I only promised it for fun. The program's cancelled, dear.

-The tear works begin! -Nephew! Why is she like that?

-You said she's Seetha from SVSC? -Not Seetha, she's Soorpankha!

See, uncle? Look at the mess I'm in!

Do I really have to marry her?

She's not right for our family. Break up with her.

What? Break up with her?

Sir.

If you think he should break up with Mercy because of her issue,

since you were checking out my wife,

your wife should leave you too, right?

Your wife has known all along,

but she's been with you these thirty years.

That is love!

You're chasing some magic touch, right? That's not love.

You should be ashamed to talk about love!

Papa…

Don't break up with Mercy because your uncle told you to.

You're her entire life.

I don't want to break up with Mercy either, sir.

It's scary that she risks her life for these tiny things.

That's why I feel like getting rid of her.

I understand all this.

But, I'll tell you one thing…

Mercy's a good girl. Take care of her.

The Doctor is right. Mercy's really good girl.

That's why I loved her, and I still do.

And that's why I can't even break up with her.

But I need to ask myself one thing.

If anyone breaks a promise they made her, she ends up hurting herself.

But will she realize if she breaks her promise to someone else?

Mercy likes me so much.

If she makes me a promise, will she keep it?

-Mercy? -Kumar…

-We'll both be happy, right? -Yeah, we will.

I'll be happy too, right?

Of course you will.

If I fail the exam, will we still be happy?

Relax, don't get tense.

I understand your problem.

Likewise, please understand my problem too, Mercy.

I'm not sure I'll pass the exam, Mercy.

But I'm giving it my best for you.

You'll try for me too, right?

Pass or fail, we'll still be the same.

Please, Mercy.

Okay, I'll try.

Promise?

Promise!

Promise!

What? You look so happy. Are you well-prepared?

-No, sir. I prepared her and came. -What did you prepare?

Even if I fail the exam I'm about to take,

I made Mercy promise me that she won't hurt herself, sir.

Some students pretend they aren't copying when I ask.

We just don't believe them.

Your girlfriend has such a huge problem.

I don't know how you trust her.

She promised me, sir. I trust she'll change.

-I doubt it! -It's not a doubt, it's certain!

Alright, you write.

Will Mercy break her promise, just like the professor said?

I compromised a lot to keep the promise I made to her.

If Mercy breaks the promise she made,

I'll be stuck compromising for the rest of my life.

Mercy…

Why show up like this?

-The exam results are out. -What's happened?

I've failed.

-Be honest! -I really did fail.

-You didn't fail. -No, Mercy, I really did fail!

You didn't fail…

-You broke the promise! -I failed after giving the exam.

You… You broke the promise!

So you failed, huh? You broke your promise!

You failed, huh? You failed?!

I passed the exam.

-Really? -I've passed!

You're lying to me, right?

Hey, why aren't you answering my call?

-Uncle, why are you here? -Drinking again? You promised to quit.

No promises. Give uncle a peg.

-Okay. -Kumar!

-Sir! -Greetings.

-I have some news for Kumar. -Go ahead, sir.

Kumar, I thought Mercy's problem would keep everyone away from her.

But you kept your promise, passed the exam, and proved your love.

Now I believe Mercy will have a happy life with Kumar.

-Thank you sir. -I feel so relieved.

That's nice, uncle.

She'll be happy, you'll feel relieved, and I'll suffer alone. Okay?

Kumar, why are you talking like this, all of a sudden?

I can't tolerate her anymore, uncle.

-Kumar. -Hey, take your hand off me!

Who'd want to live in fear day and night, shaking in sleep?

She won't change, uncle. She's mad!

-Even you're calling Mercy mad? -What else can we call a mad woman?

You're not getting the point.

-Hey, Kumar! -Sir, he's speaking while drunk.

Please, stay calm, sir.

Kumar!

You were the one to pursue her in the name of love.

When she tried to tell you her problem, you got drunk and overslept.

It's all your fault, so why are you hurting her now?

Let her suffer if she wants to, uncle. Who cares?

-Sir, sir. -I love her,

but I can't endure this torture, uncle. No way, I can't take this anymore.

Hey, Kumar!

If Mercy gets hurt, I'll end your life!

Stay calm, Sir.

No need for that. Living with her will kill me anyway!

-You wait, dear! -Sir, let's go a bit to the side.

I'll handle him. You just come.

Why did you talk like that? Hey, let it go man!

Who else can tolerate her anymore?

Sir, He's a bit upset and has been drinking.

Please think generously.

-Sit down, sir. -That's not the point.

My daughter's life is in his hands. How could he talk that way?

Wait a minute, sir. I'll go talk to him. Stay calm.

When he drinks, even he doesn't know what he says or does.

Hey! How could you drunkenly talk to him like that?

Hey! Don't mention him again!

What Uncle?

You don't understand me either?

Mercy saved my life, so I fell in love with her.

I loved her deeply, but now I'm going through hell, uncle.

When people say I've changed, and laugh at me,

I pity myself.

He only talks about his daughter's pain, but I'm the one suffering.

Why won't he think about me, uncle?

Who would tolerate someone this much? Who would, uncle?

-Show me one who has, and I'll agree! -Your dad!

Your dad!

-What did you say, uncle? -Your dad!

Since childhood, I've joked around.

Now, even when I'm serious, you think I'm joking!

That's why I'm talking while drunk.

What kind of love is yours?

What are you even tolerating?

Since your childhood, your father has tolerated all your mistakes.

That's true love!

If the children of the people who work under your father

got first-class marks, but you failed and made him a failure!

Isn't that tolerance?

You shamed him by getting drunk in tenth grade.

Isn't that tolerance?

Why did Krishna’s son get drunk and fall?

Kumar!

For people like you, what kind of boy is this, sir?

Hey, listen!

You were happy in your silly acts,

but he went through hell.

Hey…

You only called him to ask for money.

Did you ever speak to him with love when he called you?

Do you think my brother-in-law sent Ananya to college with you

by paying his fees because he had too much money?

He worried about you living alone.

He can't sleep at night until he calls Ananya

to know of your well-being.

Son, did he eat?

Just now, Uncle.

Son, did he fall asleep?

Just now, Uncle.

No matter what you did, he'd say,

“if his mom were alive, he wouldn't turn out like this.”

But he never replaced her!

Isn't that tolerance?

You say you've been through hell for Mercy.

It's nothing compared to your father's pain!

It's just like this bottle we drink from and throw away!

You and I shouldn't talk about tolerance or love.

We don't have the right!

We don't have the right!

Please change, son.

Son, I came to see you excited that you passed.

Why aren't you answering my call?

-Dad… -Son…

What happened, son? Your voice sounds strange.

Nothing, Dad.

Dad.

Even if Mom were alive…

She wouldn't have tolerated me like you.

Hey!

Why are you saying this, all of a sudden?

Please come home right now.

Kumar…

Kumar, are you crying?

Are you blind? They're tears.

It's okay.

He's sitting alone. Why don't you talk to him?

Sorry, uncle. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way.

You are right.

I fell in love when she saved me.

It's not right to leave her now just because she's in pain.

I'm afraid something might happen to Mercy because of you.

Nothing will happen to Mercy, uncle. I'll take care of her.

How will you take care of her?

Uncle, I promised Mercy I'd stay with her, no matter what.

A promise is always a promise.

Nothing will happen to Mercy, I will change her.

You'll change her?

For 20 years, the doctors and I couldn't do it. What can you do?

Only I can, uncle.

Only I can change Mercy.

How?

This is a new game. I'll tell you how to play. Come on!

You should've said earlier that you knew it well, right?

-Hey, Ananya! Come here. -Why did you come to college, uncle?

-Where's Kumar? -How would I know, uncle?

He won't go anywhere without your knowledge, right?

-Find out where he is. -Okay.

I'll tell him, oh!

-Wait, I'll call you later. -Did you find out?

-Yes, uncle! -What is it?

He went somewhere without even telling me.

-I'll kick you, I told you so. -Yes.

What can I do to change him?

If his mom were alive, he wouldn't be like this. Isn't it, uncle?

Go!

He pays the fees, and he's beating like I'm a doormat. I will leave.

-I just arrived. -Hey, Priya.

Hey, uncle, will you listen to me?

Priya, what's wrong? You seem tense.

-Kumar has gone somewhere. -Oh, when will he be back?

He went without telling anyone.

I thought when he said, “I'll change,” I meant he'd change Mercy.

-But he changed his location? -Exactly!

He is truly a devil-gifted child!

How could Mercy love someone like him?

Did you tell this to Mercy?

Why are you looking at me like that?

-Danny… -Wait!

Listen carefully. Did Kumar promise you anything?

-No. What happened? -Nothing.

Did he promise to get your permission before going

and inform you before turning off his phone?

-What happened? Tell me. -You stay here.

-Did he say he wanted to break up? -Why would he break up with me?

He left without telling anyone and switched off his phone.

We don't know when he'll return or if he'll return at all.

-He'll be at home. -Hey!

-Mercy, wait! Mercy! -Baby! Baby! Wait!

-You don't know either? -[in Tamil] Where did he go?

-Kumar… Kumar… -Dear!

-Kumar… -Dear!

-Where is Kumar? -No clue, dear. No one seems to know.

-Did he really leave? -Yes, dear.

Dear--

He really left!

-Oh no! -Look, dear.

He never broke any of his promises to you. He'll definitely come back.

Till then, don't harm yourself, and please be strong, baby.

Mercy…

-Dear Mercy, wait! -Mercy, wait!

Hi guys! I'm here at the tomato festival!

I gave it two tomatoes last year. Let's see this year's rating!

Yay!

-Kumar! -Hey, Mercy! How are you?

Where did you go without informing me?

I'm here, right?

What Mercy?

Come. Come on, I'll tell you.

Tell me. What is it?

How can you talk so casually?

Where did you go without informing me, Kumar?

-I went through hell. -Is it pretty?

If you see hell knowing that I'll return,

how much hell would we all endure

knowing you'd never return after committing suicide?

To put it simply, you and I are in the same compartment, Mercy.

My father gave me everything, just so I wouldn't cry.

Your family went all out, fearing for your future.

But we took them for granted.

What did we give them in return? Hell!

You never went to say goodbye to the departed as a child.

You were a kid back then. It's okay. What about now?

In five minutes, my uncle taught me how my father has been tolerating me.

Even a fellow like me understood the love behind his tolerance.

My father-in-law understood my mother-in-law's love

after a two-minute conversation with the doctor.

So, I realized it's not difficult to transform you

as I know how much you love me.

Someone with suicidal ideation can get out of that situation,

if they only paused for two seconds to think.

I thought I was worth those two seconds in your life.

That's why I went away from you these past few days.

He's gone somewhere without telling anyone and turned off his phone.

I still didn't trust you as I was scared you'd hurt yourself.

I was always in contact with your uncle.

As you said, Mercy can control herself now.

It's time for me to meet Mercy. Bring her to the location I share.

Okay. Okay.

We are mad about you!

Where do we go if you die due to your madness?

For the first time, I realized you mean more to me than my promise.

We were really worried about our son's future because of his silly antics.

We feared our daughter would never change.

-Do you think they've changed? -If my wife were alive…

she would have felt happy!

-Oh Lord Venkataramana! Save me! -Save Jesus!

Let's have a drink! Will she harm herself?

-I'll drink alcohol whenever I want! -Go ahead!

I won't study anymore.

Let's buy a degree!

-I might lie once in a while. -I'll understand.

-What if you're angry? -I'll control it.

-What if I'm late? -I'll wait for you.

No matter what happens, be it your parents or mine,

I won't upset them.

Come…

Kids may succeed or fail when they grow up.

But parents will never fail in their upbringing.

Mercy, if we had babies,

let’s name them Mansion House and Blue label.

Hey! Come!

One minute. He's not the romantic type.

You changed the girl by helping her

realize the importance of being missed and the meaning of love.

Good! But I know you're not that smart!

Be honest. Who told you? Who gave you this idea? Your dad?

He's a good person.

-Naresh uncle, right? -He'll not get such ideas!

Correct! What about Bunty and Jenty?

They went back to Canada.

-Daniel uncle, right? -No way!

Tell me! Who gave you this idea?

-ChatGPT. -Huh?

My lover's been struggling with suicidal thoughts since childhood.

She's torturing everyone, including me. Regardless, I love her.

Give me a suggestion to change her, dude.

Go somewhere without telling anyone.
