You bloody idiot!

-Get out of here! -Please leave me, sir.

-Dear, please. -Talking to you

was a mistake. Get the hell out!

Please, hear me out, Dad.

Get out of here!

-Dear! -Dad?

-What happened? -Is this enough?

Honestly, who wouldn't get pissed if someone said "bloody fool?"

Of course, I got mad!

I guess…

that's just how it is for every guy!

Love makes you forget everything!

But once her dad gets involved in the love story,

things take a different turn.

So, to love someone,

do we need a job, money, and status?

Can't we just fall in love without all these things?

So, what about us so-called fools? Do we have a shot at love?

Did this demon just wake up, or what?

Oh God!

It's enough.

Who is this for?

For Dad? Let me give it to him.

I was just thinking, why didn't you ask?

Yes, it's just for your dad. Give it to him!

Dad, Your coffee.

Daddy, you're on your phone a lot these days, aren't you?

No, dear.

-Wait, you already had your bath? -Yes!

-Okay, I'll take a bath too and come. -Okay, go on

Sai Ram.

Sai Ram.

I'm stepping into a co-ed college for the first time.

Let all good things come my way, and let me make wonderful friends.

Why are you taking his vehicle when you have your own?

My poor Srinu he worked so hard to make it to college.

I'm the one struggling here, not your son.

He just uses whichever vehicle has the most fuel.

Drains it dry, then tosses it aside, Bloody fool.

Don't scold him like that. He'll be hurt if he hears it.

People call a fool what he is a fool.

It's 9 a.m.

Go on, wake up your precious son!

My dear Srinu, he'll wake up right at 9

No alarm needed!

You look just like that chimpanzee from King Kong, I swear.

Don't listen to him, dear Srinu.

Dad?

Please take down the photo of Suryakantham from my room.

I have to look at her face first thing every morning!

That photo isn't there for you to look at her face.

It's there to admire her jewelry.

That piece was crafted by my father when he was at your age.

I placed it there so maybe, you'd come to your senses!

Mom, what's for breakfast?

Seriously? You want breakfast before brushing your teeth?

Will you eat it like that? Such a fool!

-What's with that stare? -Dear, please be quiet.

He just wanted to know not to eat right away!

Come here, my dear Srinu.

My prince, are you hungry?

Do you want to eat now and brush later?

Yuck!

All that pampering you give him is enough to ruin him.

I'm ready!

-I'm ready too! -Your lunch is ready as well!

-See you, Mom. -Okay, dear.

Okay, we'll leave.

Dear, are you feeling nervous?

Yes, a little.

Sing a nice song, you'll feel better.

[Sings a devotional song]

What happened?

We've reached college, Dad. I'll get going.

-All the best, dear. -Thank you, Dad.

They've put the clock way too high.

We keep staring up at the clock for the exams to start.

Our necks become too sore and we fail to write well!

-That is why we keep failing. -Not us, it's just you.

The bad vasthu isn't just at college. It follows me everywhere.

-Then what should we say? -Hey, just go.

-Excuse me? -Excuse me, huh?

I was talking to you!

Yeah, tell me.

I've been yelling for five minutes,

asking where the second-year PG class?

The second-year PG class?

First floor.

First right.

Second class.

Thanks.

-Excuse me? -Yes?

Your name?

Manaswini.

Thanks.

I like that girl.

Oh, he likes her? That makes her our sister now.

Keep your heads down.

Hey, does anyone else see her in slow motion?

-No. -No.

What if I just go over and tell her I like her?

She'll tell you off!

What if I tell her that I love her?

She'll slap you with her slipper.

You guys can't do it. Anyway, where's Geetha?

Geetha!

-Geetha. -What, Srinu?

I know your friends here are giving you a hard time.

Why are you talking about yourself now?

-Huh? -I mean…

You're the only friend I have here.

Okay, come here.

I'll introduce you to a good friend, Geetha.

-Really, Srinu? -Yes, Geetha.

-Does he look good? -She does look good.

-Is it for me? -Nope, it's for me, Geetha.

-No way, Srinu. -It must happen, Geetha.

-I can't do it, Srinu. -You must, Geetha.

Because after you failed two subjects…

Your grandfather, who believed you'd become a collector,

has passed away.

Your dad, who thought you wouldn't even make it as a ticket collector,

went straight to your brother-in-law, the biggest fool in town.

Together, they went to a priest and arranged your wedding

Where did you go after that?

-I came to you, Srinu. -Exactly.

I went to your dad, then took him to my father.

Got my dad to convince him.

I brought you to our class, right?

That's right, Srinu.

Let it go, Geetha.

If you still say it's impossible, I have another plan.

-What's that, Srinu? -It's…

I'll go back to your father with my dad,

who'll remind him that you'll never pass.

I can turn your life upside down.

Is it possible now?

Do I even have a choice?

Geetha!

She is Manu.

-You befriend her, -I'll get all the details.

From her name to her address. I'll tell you everything, Srinu.

Same place, same time next week. Now, go.

Bloody fool!

♪ Quit drinking, bro or you're going to die ♪

What's up, Baasha? Why is my bike outside? Is it ready?

-It's not fitting inside, sir. -So, it's still not fixed?

My vehicle spends more time in your shop than at my house.

Looks like you can't do it. Hand me the keys.

I'll get Raju to repair it.

Sir, you always ask my dad to do it, right?

That is why i did not touch it.

Once my father is back from the hospital,

yours will be the first vehicle that gets fixed.

What? Basheer's still unwell?

No, sir. He spends more time in the hospital than at the workshop.

I warned Basheer ages ago.

Just because he yawns before bed,

or gets out of breath while walking.

There's no need to panic and rush to the hospital.

Now they'll just hand him a massive bill.

And toss in a new illness as a bonus.

Do you know something?

I don't even know where the pharmacy is in this town.

-Do you know that? -Okay, sir.

Didn't Baasha fix your vehicle?

He'll get it done. Let's head to the bank.

Alright, hop in.

Mom!

I'm getting dark circles under my eyes!

Am I not sleeping enough?

Hey, the Kumbhakarna of this era!

It's not from a lack of sleep. It's from oversleeping!

My dad, back when he was your age,

he made crowns for NTR and SVR.

Before age 25,

my eldest brother,

designed jewelry for Savitri in the movie Maayabazaar.

When my younger brother made jewelry for Jayaprada in Simhasanam,

Superstar Krishna saw them,

and hugged him out of joy!

And what are you doing?

Even after turning 30,

you're standing in front of the mirror,

complaining about scars and other pointless things, you fool!

Everyone else accomplished something. What have you done?

Hey, mythological movies stopped long before you were born.

Now, directors like Rajamouli are bringing them back with "Baahubali."

You won't finish your PG in six years, so why not head to Hyderabad, meet Rajamouli,

and tell him you'll make the hero's sword or the villain's weapon. Get an advance.

Until then, you're just wasting time.

-How many times? -It's okay, Srinu. Let it go.

Look here.

He's brought home every musical instrument from the market,

like he's going to play them all.

Everyone who visits keeps asking if your son's a musical prodigy.

I have no idea what to say.

I can't bring myself to tell them,

he's not a musical genius, just a genius at doing nothing.

What is this, Mom?

Ugh. Instead of going in, I'm heading out.

Why did you join in the second year, Manu?

My dad's a bank employee.

He always gets transferred.

This time, we got lucky and were transferred to our hometown.

He's retiring here, so I'll be staying.

That's good.

Now that you've given me all this info, tell me, what does my Manu like?

Dance, music, movies, pizza, burgers, shopping, long drives?

-What's her thing? -She likes God, prayer and chants.

What about prasadam?

She doesn't let a single piece go to waste.

-Why? -Because, from her point of view, it’s a sin.

Dear, Srinu! It's an auspicious day. Take this aarti.

Bow to God, dear.

Mom, let me tell you the truth.

As long as we believe in ourselves, we don't need God.

Now, move. I'm leaving.

What happened, Srinu?

I didn't expect you to be this helpful so fast, Sir.

With whom?

With the Big Boss.

-You take it too. -No, thanks.

Manu, this is Srinu, our classmate.

-Hi. -Hi.

Let's go.

Your food… that fake smile and that dumb face!

Why are you asking like you know nothing? I did Sai Baba pooja this month,

just like every month.

Baba Pooja?

What was I saying?

That you did Baba pooja.

I did a Baba pooja this month. Just like every other month.

After the pooja, we get prasadam, right? This is that.

Oh really? I refused it without realizing it was prasadam.

-Can I have some now? -Sure, go ahead.

Why are you staring like that? Tell her everything.

Srinu won't step out of the house until he finishes his 4 a.m. prayers.

He won't even drink water before doing his daily prayers.

-Why all this, Geetha? -Let her speak, Geetha. Go on.

Tell her, tell her everything.

Weekly prayers and monthly chants are a must for me.

You do chants, too?

She'll tell you that, too.

Now tell her we even call him "Bhajan Samrat Balu."

Pleasure to meet you, Sir.

Likewise, madam. We'll head out now.

What kind of chants do you do?

Sai Baba chants.

Was it the "Sai Charithra" by Mani Amma,

or the "Baba Charithra" by Narayan Rao?

Or the "Sai Leelamrutham" by Bharadwaj Master?

Which one was it?

I don't even know my own history properly.

If I say yes to any of them,

I can't even pronounce their names.

Does it really matter? It's all for Sai, anyway.

He said, "Everyone's master is one."

No matter what I read or chant, it's all for Sai.

You're a true Baba devotee.

Silly girl!

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

Sure, go ahead.

We're all classmates, right?

Can we drop the "sir" and "madam" and just use names?

Thanks, Srinu.

You're welcome, Manu. Shall we go?

I swear, I'll knock you out.

It's not just about eating, you need to socialize too.

-Shall we? -Yes, let's go! Let's go!

Focus on the next plan, dude.

-Let's figure something out. -You're useless.

You don't know how to talk to girls.

-Geetha, you take over. -I always listen to you.

And now what do you expect me to say?

Fair point.

We've played our part so far.

Somehow, God's been helping us out.

Why not give Him another shot?

-Give God a chance? -You mean let God write the next scenes?

Yes, let Him handle the screenplay.

We'll see how His next scene unfolds.

-Hi, Srinu. -Hi, Manu.

-Hi, Geetha. -Hi, Manu.

-Hello, sir. -Hi, Madam.

Srinu, are you busy today?

-Not at all, tell me. -Not now. Tonight.

What's up, Srinu? Got any plans?

No, no, I'm free, Manu.

Then be with me tonight.

-Where to? -That's a surprise.

Pick me up at the center at 7, okay?

We might get back late, right?

If you're with me, will your parents be okay?

Who said I'll tell them I'm with you?

I'll tell them I'm with Geetha.

Anyway, we'll only be back in the morning.

So, no worries.

You're cool with this, right?

Yes, Manu. Double cool.

-Alright then. See you tonight! Bye! -Okay, Manu. Bye!

-Bye -Bye

Brilliant scene, Master!

Srinu…

I don't know why, but since we started talking,

it feels like I've known you forever.

That's why I asked you to come without hesitating.

Hope that didn't bother you.

Not at all, Manu.

To be honest, I felt the same way.

But I didn't have the guts to say it like you did.

Alright, let's go.

So, where are we headed now, Manu?

I told you, it's a surprise.

Just come along. Don't worry.

You're going to love it.

♪ Whoa, whoa, you nailed it, Srinu! Jackpot Srinu, still pushing through! ♪

♪ Hey, Srinu, what a lucky chance! Even you didn't expect this dance! ♪

♪ You didn't even throw a stone Yet the fruit rolled in your own! ♪

♪ Srinu, you cast no line, no bait Yet destiny filled your crate! ♪

-I'll call you back. -What could have happened?

Geetha, do you know what happened yesterday?

What happened yesterday?

Why are you so eager?

So, what will you gain by finding out?

Come on, they're our friends! Tell them, Srinu.

How's the surprise?

-It's shocking. -Happy now?

Very much.

This is called "Akhanda Bhajana."

They do this all day long.

They started at 6 today and will end at 6 tomorrow.

But why am I explaining? You already know this.

Of course I do. Go ahead and keep praying.

I thought only people held grudges.

I ran my mouth out of arrogance, and now you're playing me like this?

It's all God's screenplay, Srinu.

Not like that, Uncle.

You need to tap it like this. Three times.

Who are you calling Uncle? If you overact I'll eat all the prasadam!

What's going on?

Not like that, dear. You need to tap it three times.

Hey, shoo!

Hey, that's not right.

Kids behave like that, just let it go. You go ahead and pray in peace.

What's this?

Once this song gets over, you must sing.

Come on, sing, Mano.

I sing all the time. You sing this time. I'll sing later.

I mean, I'll sing, Manu

No one knows my songs here. If I sing, there'll be no chorus.

The whole prayer session will be ruined, that's why I'm hesitant.

Yes, that's right.

Why else would I hold back from singing here?

It's okay.

What is this, Manu?

I already told you. If I sing, there won't be a chorus.

That's exactly why you shouldn't sing, Srinu.

Just chant Sai Baba's name. Everyone will follow along, right?

They'll join in. Don't worry.

She'll sing next.

-Ready? -Go ahead.

-Two-four, three-six… -You start, sir.

We'll catch up.

Good luck! Sing your heart out.

Sai Baba, Sai Baba, Sai Baba.

-Sai Baba, Sai Baba, Sai Baba. -Oh, no. Please stop, sir.

That's how loudly he sang and kept everyone wide awake.

Is this how she understood it?

I mean,

if they come to the temple, they should chant, right?

But instead, they were dozing off.

So, I sang my own way to wake them up.

Sai Ram!

Next time, Srinu, sing a proper Sai Baba song.

Oh, is that so? Then do one thing, Manu

Teach me two or three songs in your style. We'll nail it together.

My style? Sure.

Should we bring them next time too?

No, you go. We'll head to another temple.

Let's go.

Manu, this time, sing something in Carnatic or Hindustani.

Or maybe a tune I don't know.

Sing it in a tribal language.

Dad, I need a favour.

How much do you need?

Not money, Dad.

Then what else you want?

Teach me a good Sai Baba song, Dad.

Dear, I'm going to the hospital.

Srinu, what happened? Why is your dad going to the hospital?

Nothing, Mom. He's pretending. I asked for a favor.

He's escaping so he doesn't have to do it.

I figured.

Dear Srinu, how many times have I told you

to ask me if you need anything?

You're my favorite, Mom. Your dearest Srinu needs a tiny favor.

Tell me, dear.

I need a…

-You need a…? -I need a…

Tell me, dear.

Teach me a Sai Baba prayer song.

Dear!

I'm heading to the hospital too.

Mom!

It’s tough. If a handsome guy like me can’t pull it off,

how will this guy even stand a chance?

Dude, was it really necessary to propose this early?

Hey, I’ll have to do it anyway in four months.

Might as well say it now and save some time.

If she says yes, we can party without a worry.

What if she says no?

If she says no,

we’ll drown in sorrow

and party to forget her!

Either way, the party's on, right?

What do you say, Geetha?

You did call her, right?

I did, Srinu. She said she’ll come.

Oh damn!

She might show up any minute now! I’m off. Bye!

-Go! Let me know when to party! -Bye!

-Move! -Damn your party!

Hey! My sweetheart’s here already?

Wonder what mood she's in!

-Hi, Manu. -Hi, Srinu.

This place is beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, it's lovely.

You said you had something important to talk about?

Geetha told me. What's it about?

It’s nothing, Manu. A friend of mine has a problem.

I wanted to talk it over with you.

Your friend’s my friend too! Come on, tell me. Let’s help him out.

Uh…

He’s fallen in love with a girl, Manu.

But he gave up.

Why?

He thought falling in love was wrong, so he backed off.

There's nothing wrong with loving someone, Srinu.

Tell him to love wholeheartedly!

-There’s another issue, Manu. -What is it?

I have another friend who also fell in love with a girl.

He wanted to confess, but backed out at the last moment.

Why?

He thought proposing was wrong, so he didn’t go through with it.

Gosh! Since when did falling in love

and confessing your feelings become a mistake?

If he doesn’t confess, how will she know what’s in his heart?

How will he know what’s in her heart?

Isn't it right, Srinu?

Tell me.

So, should I tell him to confess his feelings?

Just tell him, Srinu.

I love you.

Yes, tell him to confess the same way.

Manu…

I love you.

Srinu?

My father won't agree with this, Srinu.

What? You’re the one who’s supposed to like me!

My dad has to like you, too.

We’ll convince him, then get married.

What if he doesn’t agree?

-We’ll convince him. -And what if he refuses?

-We’ll plead with him. -And what if that doesn't work?

We’ll fight for it.

What if we don't have the patience for that?

-Then we’ll wait, Manu. -What if we run out of time?

What do we do then, Manu?

If I tell my mom, she’ll tell my dad.

Manu…

So, you're okay with it?

You accepted, right?

You accepted, Manu.

Manu, you accepted my love!

Manu, you did!

I love you, Manu…!

Yay!

[background chatter]

Why are you like that, Srinu? What happened?

-Hangover. -What?

Headache, apparently.

Does it hurt?

Yes, Manu.

Srinu…

Did you smoke?

They said smoking would ease my headache, so I tried it, Manu.

Does smoking help with headaches?

Well, buttermilk didn't help with the hangover.

-What? -He meant…

it didn’t help, even after having buttermilk at night.

Oh dear! You shouldn’t have buttermilk after 6 p.m., Srinu.

It'll give you a headache.

Anyway, does smoking really help with a headache?

Sometimes…

when buttermilk at night doesn’t work,

a smoke in the morning does the trick.

Venky told me so.

He kept the whole bottle and gave me only 90 ml!

-Oh, occasionally, huh? -Yes, occasionally.

Anyway…

Isn’t smoking a bad habit, Srinu?

Can’t you quit?

I’m quitting, Manu.

[humming her duet with Srinu]

Got a headache, Dad?

-Yes, dear. -Did you have buttermilk last night?

Yes, I gave it to him. What now?

That's why you've got a headache.

I’ve got a remedy for that.

It’ll ease the pain quickly.

Tell me what it is, dear. I’ll do it right away.

-My head is pounding! -Smoke a cigarette, Dad.

Don’t smoke too much, you’re already coughing.

Smoking is a bad habit.

Is that really our daughter?

Shut up! You and your silly doubts.

Can’t you just use the mixer for the batter?

Srinu only likes the snacks when it’s made in the mortar.

Someone's at the gate. Check it out.

Who would come this early?

What happened?

Who is that, dear?

Why won't you answer me?

Why are you sitting like that?

Who was at the door?

Srinu?

Weren't you sleeping, Srinu? I know you're--

Ouch! Oh no!

He asked me to teach him a Baba song the other day.

He’s never woken up before 9 a.m. in his life.

And now he’s out at 5 a.m.!

What time did he even wake up?!

Please don’t ask me anything.

Ouch!

Srinu, can I ask you something?

Sure, go ahead.

We girls have drawstrings to tie our skirts tight.

But your lungis don't have anything like that.

How do you tie it so tightly, Srinu?

And you even fold it up while walking!

You guys really wear it well.

I wore it well?

What’s so special about it? Only God knows my struggle.

Cover it up, Srinu!

What exactly do you want, darling?

Can you teach me too?

Come on.

Pancha won’t be as comfortable as a lungi, but watch.

When you walk, lift your leg with style,

hold it this way, then turn it around…

And tuck it in here.

-Wow, you did it so well, Srinu! -What do you mean, "so well"?

It’s not as easy as it looks!

You’ve got to practice.

Alright, let’s go. We have to head to college.

We're already late.

To college? I’m not coming.

I need to sleep.

How can you fall asleep again?

I mean, have you ever slept until 9 a.m.?

Poor thing.

You have no idea what you’re missing.

Just try sleeping in until 9 a.m. one day. You’ll know what I mean.

Alright.

Drop me off at home then.

Okay, let's go.

Hey, where--

What's wrong with you?

Why are you staring at that shell like that?

What's in the shell, anyway?

We should take Srinu to the doctor once, dear.

What’s wrong with him?

He went to the temple early this morning.

He gave me this shell calling it prasadam and went back to sleep.

He even told me not to disturb him until tomorrow morning.

Let’s just take him to the doctor.

We’ll take him.

We’ll figure out what’s going on and decide.

Either to a doctor…

Or an exorcist.

[phone ringing]

What's up, dude?

Looks like it’s already dawn for you.

Go out and talk.

-Hold on a second. -Okay, okay.

-What time is it over there? -Midnight for you is dawn for us.

-How come you remembered me so early? -Nothing specific.

Just wanted to talk to you, so I called.

-Hold on a second. -Okay, sure.

-I’ll call you back. -Alright, carry on.

Why are you late, dear?

I had to work late, Dad. That's why I was late.

Oh.

Sing a song, dear.

[singing "Oo Antava" song]

-What happened? -We’ve reached your college.

I didn’t even realize that, Dad.

-Bye, Dad. -Bye.

Take me home.

I never believed girls fall for idiots.

His love is stressing me out now.

My legs are killing me from all this running around.

She’s the bank manager’s daughter.

The bank manager’s daughter?!

Dear, go talk to them about the marriage right away!

What are you even saying?

We just found out about it. How can we talk about it right now?

Oh, come on. Good girls are hard to come by these days.

Our son has changed because of her.

She’s a wonderful girl.

People would search far and wide for a daughter-in-law like this.

That's true, of course…

You're correct--

That’s why having a word with them beforehand would be the right step ahead.

Right. That would be good.

Alright, I’ll go speak with them now.

Okay, but have some milk first.

Our Srinu dear is getting married!

Drink it up!

Easy there, take it slow.

I told Venky ages ago…

that we’d only pass exams if we fixed the vasthu of the college.

No point blaming him. I’m spoiled because of you.

-Hey, don’t say that. -Just go away, man.

Hi, Jaanu.

What’s this, Jaanu?

Don't lovers call each other like that, Jaanu?

-No, I prefer it when you call me Manu. -Okay, Manu.

I woke up at 9 a.m. today.

Hey! You're wonderful! How did it feel?

It was painful.

Be honest.

Have you ever slept till 9 a.m.?

You have no idea what you’re missing.

Sleep till 9 a.m. one day, and you’ll understand.

Hey, Manu, your dad’s already asked for you twice. Get up!

What’s this? Sleeping like a log? Get up!

-I’m telling you, get up! -Ouch!

The milk’s boiling over.

Don’t laugh like that, Srinu.

Do you have any idea how tough it is to sleep that late?

Do you think it’s that easy to sleep in?

Do you know how many people struggle every night just to fall asleep?

Hold on a minute.

It’s my dad.

Yes, Dad. Tell me.

-Actually… -What’s the matter, Dad?

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

They call me Gold Shop Krishna.

I came to have a chat with you.

Of course, women from all over flock to your shop every day.

Who doesn’t know you?

What would you like to discuss?

Actually…

That…

You came here to talk, and now you’re hesitating?

Don’t hold back. Say whatever you need to say.

My son and your daughter are in love.

Yes, I found out recently as well.

I thought it was best not to delay and came to speak with you.

Lately, my son has become the man I always hoped he’d be.

Your daughter is the reason for that change.

Please, send your daughter as our daughter-in-law.

We’ll care for her as our own daughter.

We don’t want any gifts or dowry. Your daughter is the greatest gift.

The person I hoped my daughter would never become…

she’s become exactly that.

And I realized it was because of your son.

I see that now.

If you think it’s right of you

to ask for my daughter’s hand because of your son’s change,

it’s equally right for me to reject because of the changes in my daughter.

Mr. Sai, please reconsider calmly.

I'm thinking calmly. That's why I'm speaking to you this way.

Alright.

Our parents know about us now, Srinu.

What now? What do we do?

-Let’s go. -Where, Srinu?

Let’s just go.

-No, Srinu. Please. -I'll tell you. Come on.

-Srinu, please don’t. -Don’t worry, Manu.

I’ll handle everything. Don’t be afraid.

You!

Get inside. Get out of here, boy!

Prameela!

No, dear, how dare she bring that boy home?

Will you let me talk?

Dear?

Do you really like him?

-What did you see in him to fall in love? -Don't you think I'm good-looking, sir?

Is that all?

Be honest. How many years have you been doing your PG?

I spoke to your college principal.

He said, "We've been putting up with this fool for six years."

And you still chose to love him?

Alright, let that go.

Did you learn anything from your father’s work?

You're not a bright student, right?

Did you at least learn anything about making ornaments?

So, you don’t even know that?

Is this the reason why you fell in love with him?

Speak up! Your father’s talking to you.

I don’t understand why she fell for you.

Even she can’t explain it.

Alright, you tell me.

What quality do you have that makes you worthy of my daughter?

-Actually, Dad-- -Shut it!

Sir! Don’t scold Manu. She’s a good girl.

Exactly!

I’m worried about how such a good girl could make such a foolish choice.

How is falling in love a mistake?

I didn’t say falling in love was a mistake.

I meant to say falling for a loser like you was a mistake.

-Dad… -Didn’t I ask you to stay quiet?

Don’t try to defend him.

I can read people

-just by looking at their faces! -Dear!

-Calmly-- -Fine, I’ll speak calmly.

I'll speak calmly.

There’s a loser like you everywhere.

To embarrass decent people like us.

Do you know how a father nurtures his daughter with love and responsibility?

We want a husband for her who is more responsible and caring.

But then, losers like you come along.

With no seriousness or commitment in life,

all you do is make us parents worry and suffer.

You bloody loser!

Sir, you've been calling me a loser for quite some time now.

What do you even know about me?

Do I need to understand you specifically?

I can see it from the changes in my daughter.

No point blaming you alone.

That elderly man came to me with a box of sweets

without a second thought as if you've achieved something.

He should be blamed.

My father doesn't know anything about this.

-Please don’t drag them into this. -That’s exactly my point.

Neither your parents

nor the girl who truly loves you knows what a loser you really are.

-Srinu… -Hey, stay out of this.

Sir.

I’ve been noticing this for a while. You keep calling me a loser

before and after every sentence.

Have you ever seen me act like a loser?

Or has anyone told you not to marry your daughter to me because I am one?

If loving someone makes you a loser, then the whole world’s full of losers.

That includes you too.

-Hey! -Srinu!

You bloody! Get out!

-Get out! -Sir, please let go.

-Please listen to me, dear! -Dad, please.

Don’t fight, dear.

Please listen to me, Dad.

You loser!

-Dear! -Dad!

-Dear! -Dad!

-What happened, dear? -Dad!

-Dear, please say something. -What happened, Dad?

-Dear, please talk to me. -Say something, Dad!

What’s happening, dear?

-Daddy… -Dear!

Dad!

Sit down, dear.

Sit down, Mom.

Should we get more tests done, sir?

All the reports are normal. So why run more tests?

Do you guys fast?

No, sir.

Well, since Gold Shop Krishna arrived, he hasn't had anything to eat or drink.

That's it!

He fainted from lack of food or water.

You caused a scene for this?

I haven't even caught the common flu since childhood, doctor.

-Worrywarts. -See?

Why did he come here? To see if I'm alive or dead?!

-Please, Mr. Sai, calm down. -Why is he here?!

-This is a hospital. No shouting. -Tell him to get lost! No, Doctor…

-You don't know about him. -I do.

I know everything that happened.

Even though it’s none of my business,

as a father to a girl, may I say something?

Do you want him out of the hospital,

Or out of your daughter’s life, too?

Please do me this favor.

Then you have to listen to me.

I’d do anything to get that loser out of our lives.

Then spend 30 days with him. Then decide if he’s truly a loser.

Why would I need 30 days for that?

I figured it out in three minutes when his father came over.

Just look at your daughter’s face.

Is she upset because her father’s unwell?

Or because she’s afraid her lover might drift away?

I don't get it.

When you ask a girl who her hero is,

she’ll say it’s her father.

But when it comes to love,

she sees her father…

as her very first enemy.

If such a heroic father doesn’t want to become a villain,

it doesn’t matter if you alone think he’s a loser.

The girl should, too.

Mr. Sai…

To secure our daughter’s happiness for life,

can’t we spare just 30 days of our own?

This is an opportunity your father’s giving you.

Since he loves you more than anything in this world,

he agreed to something no father would ever accept.

If after 30 days, he still feels Srinu isn’t right for you…

Will you accept that?

I’m okay with it, Doctor.

I believe in Srinu.

And I believe in myself!

-No, Dad. Listen to me-- -Okay. Okay. Relax.

-Srinu! -Sir?

I’m coming.

Is everything okay?

Why wouldn’t he be okay? He’s perfectly alright.

Phew! I overreacted for no reason, Doctor.

We’ll take care of him. You just focus on yourself and your love.

I'll pass this test, sir.

I’ll clear all my exams and even learn the work from my dad.

It doesn’t matter how or what you do. Are you a good man?

Will you take good care of her? That’s what matters.

Then what should I do now, sir?

Spend these 30 days with him and prove you’re not a loser.

So I’m supposed to prove I’m a good man for the next 30 days?

No need for all that.

In these 30 days, just show me once

that you can really take care of my daughter.

What's this, Doctor?

What is this, a movie?

Where the hero proves himself the moment he gets a chance?

It's life, sir! How could it be possible?

He has no faith in you and says you’ll fail.

But she believes you can do it.

Agree to this, Srinu.

Why are you hesitating? Don’t you believe in yourself?

Why are we even talking about this here?

He’s fine, right? Just discharge him.

-Let’s go home and talk. -Hey! Answer his question first.

We’ll discuss it among ourselves and decide, sir.

-Why is there a third person between us? -You loser!

I'm saying it this time. He really is a loser!

I figured it out in three minutes. And she’ll see it in 30 days.

I’ve never met a loser like you before.

And this time, I’m the one saying it, not him.

You need to prove yourself. There’s no way around it!

-He agreed, sir. -Why are you saying I agreed?

-You did, right? -No.

Don’t you trust yourself?

Don’t you believe in our love, Srinu?

He did agree, sir.

-What are you thinking, Srinu? -What's the matter?

-I believe in you, Srinu. Accept it. -Come on, say yes!

Why are you so worried?

I know how to impress him.

Srinu, your father has a lot of faith in you about this.

Thank you, Dad.

I strongly believe that you won't impress him.

-Are you really my father? -You tell me, honestly.

If any father truly knew you, you think he’d let his daughter marry you?

What if you end up liking him before the 30 days are up?

If an eagle swoops down to snatch a chick,

the hen will fight the eagle to protect her chick.

Likewise, I’m a father.

If some random guy tries to take my daughter away…

Should I just sit by and watch?

No matter what he does, I won’t like him.

I have to accept him, don’t I?

But I won’t.

Do you know how worried I am now that I agreed?

Why, Srinu? Can’t you just pretend to be a good guy for 30 days?

Pretend? Am I not already a good guy?

No, that’s not what I meant, Srinu.

I love you just the way you are.

All I’m asking is that you act a bit differently with my father.

It's only for 30 days, right?

You want me to pretend for 30 whole days?

Wow! Thirty days, she says.

Like I can actually do this for 30 days.

And that doctor! He’s the reason I’m stuck in this mess.

So, what should we do, Srinu?

You don't have to do anything.

Just leave me be and go away.

Jaanu.

Gosh!

Jaanu…?

Go on.

Hey!

What if we try that?

No, no!

Got it.

You two are in love.

-Yuck. -Ugh, yuck.

No, no!

-Can you at least hear me out? -Go ahead, Manu.

Srinu comes along with my dad to the temple,

sees you two holding bags and goes,

“hey, what are you two up to? What’s with the bags?”

Then Venky hesitates, unsure whether to say it or not.

He’ll say, “my parents didn’t approve of our marriage,

so we decided to elope.”

With her?

The moment they hear it, Srinu’s shocked, and so is my dad.

My dad just waits for Srinu’s response.

Then Srinu, sounding wise beyond his years,

says, “parents are living gods, Venky.

If they refuse,

we should convince them and get married with their blessing."

Hearing that, you both say, “Srinu, you’ve opened our eyes."

And you bow down at his feet.

Me? At his feet?

After that little act, my dad will hold Srinu in the highest esteem.

Hello!

You guys don't have to think so much.

I know what my dad likes and the kind of people he respects.

Oh!

So, don’t overthink it. Just stick to my plan.

Okay.

Take that left.

This right here.

Left. Left.

-What happened? -Sir.

Just tell me the destination. I’ll take you there.

We've to go to Lord Shiva’s Temple near the Gandhi Statue.

Watch some reels on YouTube I’ll take you there through a shortcut.

Fine, go ahead.

Are we there already?

Hey, old hag! When did they build this wall?

Before you were even born. "old hag," he says.

You loser!

Sai.

Hello, master. How are you?

Yes! Wait there, I’m coming.

Oh dear!

Why is this old man here?

What are you doing here?

Just had some errands to run, sir.

-But-- -Who’s this boy?

He’s the gold shop owner Krishna’s son.

Oh, Srinu?

Damn, the old man still remembers me.

-Do you know him? -Why wouldn't I?

I kicked him out with a TC right before his tenth-grade exams.

What kind of stunt did he pull to deserve that, sir?

Sir, you were in a hurry, right? Let’s go.

There's nothing more important than knowing more about you.

You tell me, sir.

Just take this TC and leave.

What did he do to deserve this, sir?

You want to know what he did? See for yourself.

Hey, Bujji, what are you doing in the classroom?

-I’m doing my homework, Brother. -Hey…

Do your homework at home,

and play your heart out at school.

-Shall we play a game? -What game?

It’s nothing serious.

I’ll blindfold you and take you somewhere.

You must pee there.

Then I’ll bring you back and remove the blindfold.

You have to figure out where you peed.

-Got it? -Okay.

Hey, Bujji.

When I count to three,

don’t say a word. Just unzip and pee!

-Okay? -Okay, brother.

Start!

Do it, boys!

He’s just a kid. He doesn’t know a thing.

Expelling him for that is a bit extreme.

Are you still on the terrace? Come down to the second floor and take a look.

Yuck! This isn’t rain, Sweety.

I mean, the kids thought it was rain and were playing around.

-Expulsion just for that? -Are you still on the second floor?

Come to the first floor.

I really love the rain.

Oh, I never went home

without getting drenched in the rain, Vijaya ma'am.

-School’s over now. -Really?

I like doing that too!

Let’s go, I say.

Sunitha ma'am, this isn’t rainwater.

Vijaya ma’am, this isn’t water at all.

Kids playing is one thing…

But why are teachers playing?

Even if they do,

can’t they just hold out their hands and play like children?

Why splash it all over their faces?

-What I’m trying to say is-- -Why expel him for such a minor incident?

Am I right?

You’re still on the first floor!

Come to the ground floor!

Do you see that, sir?

It’s sunny outside,

yet it’s still raining.

Rainwater is very healthy.

We should drink it when we have the chance.

Once it touches the ground, it gets polluted.

I’ve been watching you since noon. You’ve been laughing non-stop.

I burst out laughing every time I remember that loser’s antics.

What exactly did he do?!

Hey! It’s not about what he did.

He reminded me of my own childhood, and it makes me laugh.

What did you do, dear?

My friends and I used to stand in a line.

We’d bet on who could pee the farthest and make an eight.

Never mind. Carry on.

If he made you relive your childhood and laugh to yourself

don’t tell me you’re starting to like him.

Ugh! Just because someone makes me laugh doesn’t mean I like them.

Am I supposed to marry off my daughter to anyone who makes me laugh?

Even though she was born from your womb,

she grew up resting on my chest.

He needs to tick quite a few boxes to win her over.

Come on, sir. Let’s go.

Why waste any more time?

I mean, I am in love with Manu, right?

Mine is love.

What you feel is just fondness.

The ones who are just fond get scared.

The ones who truly love, stay cautious.

You're simply fond of my daughter.

That’s why you’re anxious about whether you’ll get her or not.

But what I feel for her is love.

That’s why I’m protecting her from ending up with a loser like you.

Anyway, now that you're here. Let’s go.

Sir…

After you drop your daughter off at college,

you worry about her safety until she’s back home.

But lovers like me drop her home safely before heading back.

So I guess mine is love,

and yours is just fondness, right?

-Here, have some snacks. -No thanks, sir.

-At least some biscuits? -No thanks, sir.

-How about some tea? -No thanks, sir.

Please have some.

Please, sir.

You’re maintaining your physique quite well.

Well…

I must impress my father-in-law today.

Oh no! What’s he doing here?

Hey!

Why did you come? And why are you leaving?

I came for something but I’m leaving for something else.

Hey, I’m right here. Which way are you looking?

Come here!

Yes, sir?

This is Chanti. He was my colleague.

He studied hard and earned a respectable job.

Greetings, sir.

How are you, Srinu?

Gosh!

This dimwit recognized me!

Is that you, brother? I almost didn’t recognize you!

Of course you wouldn't.

How are you, brother?

Do you know this guy?

Earlier, you said I’ve got a good physique, right?

This guy is the reason for it.

How so?

That was the first and last time I drank with Srinu.

Let’s go wild!

One peg for you, one for you, and one for me.

Hey, there are only three of us. Where did the fourth peg come from?

Did you drink it already?

If you drink that fast, it’ll damage your liver.

You need to drink slowly.

He doesn’t even have the habit of saying “cheers.”

Where’s the booze, man?

If you keep drinking so fast...

I’m not pouring anymore.

Please, brother.

Will you drink slowly?

Really?

Let me add water first.

Now, the booze.

It's over already?

He’s chugging it down like a fish!

You said this party was for me, right?

Brother! How about Balayya Babu’s brand?

You good with a full bottle?

He can’t drive.

And I won’t drive drunk.

Why don’t you go get it, brother?

Please.

In ten minutes, it’ll be Saturday.

And since I don’t drink on Saturdays…

Let me finish this off. We’ll eat and hit the bed.

What’s for dinner, bro?

How about some plain white rice?

White rice?

Hot rice and spicy mango pickle.

Have a go.

Rice and pickle party!

Why aren’t you eating, bro?

After you, brother.

[imitates] You need to drink slowly.

What a fool!

-What's happening? -Oh God!

What have you done?

Ouch!

Hey, what did you do, man?

I can't bear this pain anymore!

He was fine until this evening.

What did you eat?

Rice.

I cooked it myself.

Your mom said there was no gas,

and the cooker was under repair.

So, I sent rice and curries in the afternoon.

Then how did you cook for them?

-Is this made of copper? -You rogue!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Hello, sir How is he now?

Nothing serious. He’s got a mild stomach infection.

I cut it out.

That is what happened, sir.

Because of this loser, I can’t eat more than two servings a day.

That’s why I’m scared of breakfast.

When you mention lunch, I say I’m busy.

I can’t dare to eat dinner.

Basically, I can’t stay in his presence too long.

I’ll take my leave.

Take care of your health, sir.

Hey!

Don’t you dare show your face till I call you! Get lost!

What shall we do? We will just while away the time.

-Manu? -Srinu.

Tell me, Manu. I’m going to take a bath.

Oh, you’re going to take a bath? Then, this is the right time.

There's a bumper offer!

Just a minute, Manu.

I’m ready, Manu.

-Then, listen. -Tell me.

Today is Thursday, right?

My father said, “Don’t you dare show your face till I call you!"

Didn't he?

My dad visits the temple every Thursday, without fail.

So, go to the temple and meet him.

Since it’s a temple, he can’t say anything.

You and dad can be on good terms again.

-Is this your so-called bumper offer? -Yes, Srinu.

-What’s wrong? -Nothing.

I’ve got stuff to do. Need to shower and head out.

You hang up now.

There goes my sleep.

Om Sai Ram, Sai Ram, Sai Ram!

You visit the temple too, sir?

What do you mean?

I mean…

Every week, I come to the temple to pray to Sai Baba and seek--

-Why is he here, man? -Exactly!

You sing, too?

-What do you mean? -I mean,

I sing as well!

-Sing! -Why him, sir?

You do it.

-Sing now! -You do it, sir.

Now!

Volume up , please.

Sir, shall I sing a Sai Baba song?

We're about to sing praises to God.

Sing a song about Lord Ganesha.

-Tilak. -Wow!

I'm done for.

Every day you used to laugh so much,

what's got you thinking so much today?

He sang a song at the temple.

He sang really well.

-Do you like him now or what? -Hey!

Turns out our daughter taught him that song.

He told me himself.

So, who deserves the credit, then?

Our daughter, of course.

Well, in that case, it's a good thing.

Oh dear!

Are you guys ready?

We've been ready for ages. You're the one who's delaying!

You dumbass! What would she even know?

Just do what I say. Hang up.

Okay, come here.

We've been waiting here forever with our bags.

He keeps saying he'll come, but he never shows up.

I must impress my father-in-law today and win his approval.

-20, 21, 22… -Where's dad?

-He's not here. -Hey, Jithu!

Brother?

-Is dad not around? -He's gone out, brother.

Alright, before you head out tonight, hand me the keys.

What are you doing every night, Brother?

Every morning, Uncle keeps yelling at me because everything's all over the place!

What are you up to every night, bro?

Why do you need to know?

Just hand me the keys for tonight.

Alright, whatever you say.

Don't tell dad I was at the shop, okay?

Sure.

Good boy.

Whatever.

Sir, why are you always so angry at me?

There's a sensitive child within me, you know.

Can't you see him?

Just shut up and keep driving.

Alright, sir. I'll keep my mouth shut and just--

-Hey, hey! -I'm shutting up.

-Stop, stop! -Oh no!

Why are these idiots here now?

-What's the matter? -What do you mean?

What? Do we have to explain everything ourselves?

-Won't you say something? -You…

Hey, what happened?

What's going on here?

One moment, sir.

You morons.

Who's the new guy with the sticks?

Hey, come here!

Hey Srinu, we share the same name. Try to understand, man.

I'm on a very important errand. We'll talk tomorrow.

Just because we share a name, I'm supposed to understand you?

We stopped to talk to you.

Gosh! Hey!

Don't keep calling me "Hey," it's annoying.

Hey, what's the problem?

No problem at all, sir. I'll be there in a moment.

-You guys-- -Hey, Srinu!

A woman calling my name here? Who could it be?

Look over here!

Hey, you said he's your brother, but he sounds more like your sister.

What? Will you hit me? Hit me! Nobody's coming.

Come on. Hit me!

Hit m-- Hey, hey…

I hate being disrespected, especially with that screechy voice of yours!

Will you call me again?

-Will you… Will you… -Oh no, stop! Stop…

Hey!

-Hey, Srinu! Srinu! I'm talking to you! -Will you call me "Hey"?

-I've been watching you for a while. -What, man? What?

-This really hurts, Srinu! -Tell me!

-Hey, Srinu! Srinu! -Will you speak rudely, man?

You'll be finished, if I twirl my moustache!

-Srinu! -Come on, speak up now!

Sir, look how he's thrashing us.

Srinu, I'm telling you!

You are hitting us hard, man?

Twirl that moustache all you want!

Sir, make him stop! Please, make him stop!

-It really hurts, Srinu! -Make him stop, sir.

Srinu, let them go!

-I'm telling you to stop! -Stop what?

Sir! Sir!

What are you thinking, sir?

They ran away, sir.

Shall we go, Srinu?

I only mind it when outsiders say “hey.” You can call me however you like.

It's alright, Srinu, let's just go.

I'm not moving unless you call me that!

Only then we'll go.

Fine. Let's go, man.

Those guys teased your daughter before, sir.

I couldn't catch them before. So, I gave them a proper beating.

Yeah, great job. Turn around. Let's go home.

-Let's go after I finish my errands. -You can do them after dropping me off.

What would I do without you? Let's head home.

Prameela, get me some tea.

-Manu! -Yes, Mom?

Your dad's back. Bring him some water.

-Oh dear! -Okay.

Sir, mind if I have a cup of tea too?

Get him a cup of tea.

Here's some water, Dad.

Get him some water too. He pulled quite a stunt.

What happened?

Oh, nothing happened to him.

Just some college teasers, right? He took care of them.

It's them who got hurt.

Who teased me?

No one did.

-Those people, Manu. -Who are they, Srinu?

I guess you forgot. She--

I'll just have my tea at home, sir.

My mom makes it just for me, with extra cardamom.

I miss my mom.

I really miss her.

You loser!

No matter what I do, it's just not working out.

If there's a flaw in your creation, it's me.

That's right.

You messed up with this one, God.

You made girls as beautiful as roses.

But you had to give those flowers thorns called fathers-in-law.

You blessed me with a daughter as radiant as the moon.

But why did you create men like Rahu and Kethu?

It would've been so much easier if lovers

like us didn't have to deal with fathers-in-law.

How nice it'd be

if fathers like me didn't have to deal with sons-in-law?

You blessed me with two souls who love me dearly.

But you made them bitter enemies.

Why?

♪ Without a father-in-law The son-in-law would be a saint ♪

♪ Without a son-in-law The father-in-law would stay noble ♪

I can't keep this up anymore.

What's your business in these bushes, man?

Auto!

Sir, you head on home.

-What about you? -I'll figure it out. You go on.

Hey, this is as heavy as a bull.

How will you bring it back alone?

I'll manage somehow. You go ahead, sir.

Rose thorns, huh? Did the thorns pierce you good?

If you give a diamond to someone who doesn't understand its worth,

they'll toss it away like a stone.

But if you give a stone to someone who values it,

they'll carve it into a sculpture and worship it.

I don't know if Srinu knows your worth.

Now it's up to you.

In the 28 days I've spent with him,

not once did I feel like he genuinely loved you.

It's your call now.

Dear Manu, just a moment.

Srinu, Manu's on the phone.

Who told you to pick it up? Hang up!

He must've been under stres--

Where are you taking me?

Just a quick errand in the next town. We'll be back before you know it.

Hold on! Stop.

-What? -Where are you going?

To the next town.

Make a U-turn and go the long way around.

Sir, why argue with them? Let's just take the detour and go.

Hey, hold on!

Why are you making us take the detour?

Instead of taking this shortcut?

What's the issue?

No issue on our end, sir.

If you want, you can go ahead.

But he...

Is not allowed in our town.

What's the deal with this guy?

What's he possibly going to tell you, sir?

-Ask us. We'll explain. -We'll tell you everything.

What's the exam today?

The paper's in English.

Looks like this year's doomed too.

-Bro... -What?

Can we hand in the paper and go?

If that were an option, I'd have left half an hour ago!

Who are you, bro?

-You're way more talented than I am. -What's going on over there?

What?

Nothing. Just wanted to get a good look at you.

Ugh!

Wow!

Extra sheet!

Extra sheet!

Extra sheet!

Hey, can you show me the answer to question seven?

That's me!

This is you.

This is us.

-This is ours. -Hey!

What's going on over there?

What are you doing?

-Are you copying from him? -No, ma'am!

Stop!

Hand over your papers!

It's fine, ma'am!

Oh!

What's this?

Failed in March, now rewriting in September?

-And you have the audacity to draw-- -Ma'am!

Don't judge me without knowing me.

I didn't fail in March like you think I did.

I was absent because my grandfather passed away.

I'm a first-class student.

If you're one,

why are you behaving like this?

-For her. -Huh?

What's the big deal about exams?

Fail in March, write in September. Fail in September, write in March.

But if I fail in life, there's no second chance, ma'am.

I can't imagine life without her, so what's the point of these exams?

I'm sorry.

Phew, I made it out!

If that lady hadn't connected with my story, I'd have been finished.

What a close call.

-Are you still writing exams? -Oh, you're still working as a peon?

My bad for talking to you.

-Get lost! -Ugh, whatever.

Excuse me!

Hey, what are you doing here?

You were right.

I can take the exam in March.

But letting go of someone who cries for me?

I can't fail at life.

-Hey... -I love you.

Can I hug you?

Oh, no!

Where's my other slipper?

Where did it go? And where's Ganga?

Whom are you looking for?

The girl looks nice.

For you.

-For me? -Yes, for you.

It might sound strange...

But it's true.

I've been in love for four years.

I came to confess today and hear your decision.

How did you fall in love with someone who wasn't in town for four years?

I just got back today, after four years.

If it's based on looks, then you can call it attraction.

If it's from the heart, it's love.

-You understand -Yamuna.

Did you notice?

I loved you like a madman, without even knowing your name.

Listen to me…

Go on…

If you fail your March exams, you can retake them in September.

Fail in September? Try again in March.

But if you fail in life once…

There is no retake.

If you get it, then excuse me.

If not, then let me go.

I can't let go of someone who loves me this much.

I love you.

Can I hug you?

You're mistaken he loves me!

No, sister. You're wrong he loves me.

Ganga is the eldest sister.

Listen to me.

We should get Srinu married to Ganga.

Brother, Ganga is the eldest sister.

She'll understand if we explain it to her.

But Yamuna's stubborn.

Trust me, let's marry Yamuna off to Srinu, brother.

Can't you understand what I'm saying?

I'm asking you to understand me!

What am I saying, and what are you even talking about?

-Should we never talk at all? -Stop!

Will you stop shouting?

I can hear you from the end of the street!

Hey, Ganga's the eldest.

She'll understand.

You know how stubborn Yamuna is.

That's why I'm saying let's marry Yamuna to Srinu.

Ganga is the eldest...

She'll understand eventually.

Yamuna may be stubborn, but she'll come around.

If we marry either Ganga or Yamuna off to Srinu...

What about Saraswati's situation?

Hello? Ganga?

My sister's not home. She's out.

That's why I called Yamuna.

Yamuna's out too.

Oh, great! Then who am I speaking to?

I'm their sister, Saraswati.

Wow, even her voice is lovely.

Hey, are you the one who dubs for Samantha in movies?

-That's not me. -Hey, don't lie.

No, I'm not lying.

My friends say that too, but it's not me.

Saraswathy, can we meet?

Why?

Ever since I heard your voice…

It feels like I've known you forever.

I can't explain it over the phone.

Let's meet, Saraswathy.

Oh no, There's no one at home.

I can't come out right now.

Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Damn it…

Hello?

Hey, are you that guy?

You not only sound like Samantha, but you look like her too!

Even my friends say that, too.

But that's not true.

Hey, there's no one home right now.

That's why I came.

Why?

To tell you something.

What is it?

If you fail in March, you can retake it in September.

Fail in September, try again in March.

But if you fail in life...

...there's no retake.

I've missed out too many times before.

This time, I won't fail.

Hey, why are you crying?

I never thought, in my wildest dreams, that someone like you…

With such deep love, would come into my life.

I love you.

May I…

I wonder why they called me.

I hope they don't beat me.

I know, my boy.

You'll marry Ganga.

Don't worry. Just say you'll marry Yamuna bravely.

Just agree, son-in-law. I'll take care of everything.

Son!

Srinu, my boy…

Are you happy now?

You've messed everything up.

-What's this about? -Everyone, stop.

Wait, all of you!

Quiet, everyone!

-He'll marry Ganga. -No, Saraswathy.

Do I have to listen just because you're older?

They were the epitome of brotherhood.

Now, they're the opposite.

Now, they're the opposite example.

Because of Srinu, a good family was torn apart.

We're afraid of what will happen if he comes back.

That's why he's banned from entering the town.

-Not allowed, sir. -Not allowed.

-Srinu? -Yeah?

Let bygones be bygones. Just let it go. Find a way to make him agree.

I'm trying, Mom. He just doesn't see things my way.

He never tries to understand my side.

Sometimes, you just have to leave it to fate. God will sort it out.

If God's handling everything...

What are you doing, Srinu?

What can I do, Manu?

Your father's sworn never to accept me, no matter what I do.

In that case, what can I possibly do?

But did you really try, Srinu?

What do you mean?

I've done everything you asked me to do!

Did you, really? I told you what my father likes...

How he wants people to behave...

And how to win him over.

You didn't do any of it right.

Hey, why are you yelling at me?

I tried everything you asked for!

It just didn't work out!

Why are you making it sound like I messed it up on purpose?

Did you ask me before you took the deal?

I thought I could somehow make your parents agree to the marriage.

You made the decision on your own, and now you're blaming me?

I'm not blaming you, Srinu.

I'm terrified... I don't know what my father's decision will be.

He's going to say no. I'm sure of it.

Don't worry, Manu.

I've got an idea to make him say yes.

-What is it, Srinu? -We'll leave, Manu.

-What? -We'll run away, Manu.

By the time your father finds us, we'll already be married.

He'll have no choice but to accept.

I'll take care of everything. Come on.

Come on.

Do you really love me?

Or was it all just an act?

Quick! Name five gods.

Before I came into your life...

Did you ever wake up at 5 AM?

Tell me.

Did you ever?

Visit a temple with that face of yours?

Who's been acting here?

Is it me, or is it you?

I know everything about you, Srinu.

Do you know why I fell for you like a fool?

You didn't change for your parents, who've loved you for 30 years.

But you changed for me in just two days.

I thought, who finds a...

Guy who loves a girl that deeply?

I fell for you like a fool.

I went against everyone for you.

What am I saying, and what are you talking about?

Yes, I acted.

But for who?

For you, obviously!

I did everything for you.

All for you.

It felt right, Manu.

And now what I'm doing is right, too.

Stop overthinking it.

Let's just go.

Fool!

You' re a fool, Srinu.

Now I finally understand.

I fell in love with a complete fool.

You're a fool, Srinu.

An absolute fool.

Get lost!

♪ What are you, oh love? So hard to understand ♪

♪ Is hurting this deeply your only plan? ♪

♪ Why, oh love won't You ever let me trust you? ♪

♪ And when I do, drowning Me is that your joy too? ♪

♪ You ask me to dream ♪

♪ Then push me to worry ♪

♪ You live in the tears of My eyes, always blurry ♪

♪ You give one answer ♪

♪ Then make it a sacrifice ♪

♪ Leaving only questions Behind, never replies ♪

♪ Love a beautiful illusion A tale of magic and confusion ♪

We're afraid of what will happen if he comes back.

That's why he's banned from entering our town.

-Not allowed, sir. -Not allowed.

[All] Not allowed.

He's not even one percent right for our Manu.

I don't know how she'll react when I tell her.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Why, dear?

He's a fool, Dad.

I don't want him.

I don't want him, Dad.

I caused so much trouble.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Thank you, Dad.

God always helps us.

I'll go light the lamp now.

Thirty days have passed.

Will he let me marry his daughter? The whole town knows he won't.

Get up.

Get up, man.

Do you know why I laughed?

Because I won.

I pulled out the weed named Sreenu that had taken root in my daughter's life.

And I threw it away.

Do you know why I hit you?

I saw your foolishness in everything you did up until yesterday.

I thought every fool had some redeeming qualities.

So, I spent these 30 days with you.

But after what I discovered yesterday…

That you're a man who messes with girls' lives...

I despise myself for being around someone like you.

Hey, even the word "fool" is too small for you.

I would've buried you myself.

Oh, God!

Fool.

hey, Even the word "fool" is too small for you.

I need to find a harsher way to scold you.

I'm not sure what to say.

To the hospital?

Come on, let's go.

I warned you before.

This guy is a complete fool.

I tolerated him for 30 days only because of you.

In hindsight, I'm glad I did.

My daughter realized he's a fool too.

Let it go. Isn't that what we wanted?

What now?

What should we do?

No, say, I'm leaving forever.

I'll take my leave, sir.

Are you happy, Sai sir?

Please put your hands down.

Please, Sai, sir.

I don't know how to say this, sir…

You don't need to say anything. I, too, am a father to a daughter.

I understand your situation.

Just forget everything, and find happiness.

I've been watching you for a while now.

Why are you sweating while you're seated?

Why are you asking?

I traveled with him, right?

That guy made me push the vehicle more than he drove it.

Don't even bring up the walking!

I've never walked this much in my life!

He tortured me so much… Such a fool.

Really?

One injection will ease your pain.

Sorry.

You don't believe in doctors or medicine, right?

Don't say that, sir.

After all this, if I stay the same, I'd truly be the biggest fool.

So, you believe…

That there are good doctors?

Give me 100 painkillers. I'll take them all if you say so.

Why so many?

A small injection will do.

You might feel a little dizzy.

Rest for five minutes, then you leave.

-Thank you, sir. -I'll go on my rounds.

What's all this?

Daddy…

Doctor…

Congratulations, Sai sir.

Your heart surgery was a successful.

-Doctor, what…? -Relax, Sai sir.

I thought it was body pains…

Was it a heart condition?

It was all because of him,wasn't it?

Yes, because of him…

The surgery succeeded not because of the heart, but because of him.

What are you thinking about?

What did I even do, sir?

I'm only speaking to you out of respect for your father.

Otherwise, I would've thrown you out by now.

But what did I do wrong, sir?

Hey, if he had come in five minutes later,

he'd be in a grave, and you'd be in jail.

He had a serious heart attack, man.

Idiot, you're being so careless.

Doctor, put a stent in him.

-What? -Can't you just perform the surgery, sir?

Hey, don't try to play doctor with YouTube videos.

Do you know when a person can have surgery?

When they're physically stable and mentally at peace.

He looks okay on the outside.

But on the inside…

I can't blame him.

Any father with a young daughter...

can never truly be at peace.

He can't handle a surgery right now.

If he has another attack, don't bother bringing him here.

Go do something meaningful.

Sir…

What?

If he becomes physically and mentally well...

How soon can you operate?

Please, sir…

If he's truly happy…

And in good physical condition…

We can operate within a month.

Then let's schedule the surgery for day 31.

But don't tell the family yet.

We'll inform them closer to the date.

Why?

Nothing brings more joy than a victory.

Be it street cricket or a small wager…

We play with friends, but…

When they lose, and we win…

We feel like we've conquered the world.

If winning against friends is this fulfilling...

What happens when we defeat an enemy?

The world would be at our feet!

In the next 30 days, he will be winning…

Against his greatest enemy…

I'll make him a winner.

And for the physical fitness…

I'll handle it.

Just trust me.

Why are you taking on such a tough challenge?

Manu loves her dad, just like I love mine, right?

I love Manu, sir.

But Manu loves her father more than anything.

If I can save him, I can keep my love alive too, right?

This isn't that hard, sir.

It's my duty.

There's one thing you might not know, but everyone else does, sir.

Mr. Sai doesn't believe in doctors or medicine.

So what do we do now?

Please do something.

Let him travel with me for thirty days.

I'll handle everything else.

These kids today!

When we refuse their relationships...

They don't even think about their parents and just elope.

Sometimes, I wonder,

why children don't see that when they elope,

parents, full of hope, feel like living corpses.

But after talking to him…

I realized it's not just about his parents.

He thinks about the parents of the girl he loves, too.

There really are guys like him out there.

For him, "Mom" and "Dad" aren't just mere words, sir.

They mean so much more.

He's a good one.

He lost for love, but in that loss,

he made you win, and brought you back to life, sir.

He's not a fool, sir.

He's a good son any parent would be proud to have.

Your daughter is a gem, sir.

And Srinu is pure gold.

Diamonds go best with gold.

Just think about it, sir.

Srinu is the right choice for Manu.

He's not right for her, Doctor.

I'll be forever grateful to him for saving my life.

But…

I can't give my daughter's hand to someone who hurt three girls in the past.

Vasu, Narri!

These are the ones who told you the story…

They're actually our staff members.

What do you mean?

Mr. Sai, the funny part is…

Most people try to act good in front of everyone, right?

But he acted like a fool…

All for your health.

He even tracked down your former teachers.

And convinced them to put on a show,

staging fights, so you'd see him as a fool.

He made the girl he loves think he was worthless.

So she'd believe he wasn't worthy of her.

He earned respect from your wife, who once saw him as nothing.

Your daughter, who once misunderstood him…

Understands him now.

You don't owe him for life, Mr. Sai.

Just don't see him as a fool anymore.

The rest is up to you.

Srinu, my boy! I told you, didn't I?

You're capable of anything!

You useless fool, you hopeless fool! The girl's coming home now.

Foodie!

What are you even going to do with your life?

He's only good for wandering around aimlessly!

You wandering idiot, go wander somewhere else!

Srinu, my boy!

I'm your fool, Dad.

Sorry, Srinu.

Only you get to call me a fool, Dad.

You always brag about how your father and uncle,

and your brothers make jewelry for heroes, right?

Well, from now on, I'm going to say it too, Dad.

That I made jewelry for my hero, too.

You're my hero, Dad.

Srinu, my boy.

-Srinu! -Don't worry, Mom. Let's go.

Hello, sir.

How's your health, sir? Feeling better now?

Come closer.

Come on, move in closer, man.

No, sir, not necessary.

I'm still recovering from the last hit you gave me.

I'll stay here. You can talk to me from there.

Why couldn't you have been my son?

Sir, these days, parents-in-law prefer

getting things done through sons-in-law, not through their own sons.

Let's leave it for now.

Next time, we'll sort it out, sir.

Hey.

Give it to me.

We'll find an auspicious day for the wedding.

Are you okay?

Everyone, stay for lunch before you go.

What do I even say?

Oh my god.

Sir.

What can I even say?

-Baasha… -Sir?

Take your father to a good doctor.

I'll WhatsApp you the address.

Take him straight to the clinic.

-Hey, Babji, stop the car. -What's going on, buddy?

What's the ruckus?

Well…

Your story inspired me, so I'm taking 30 days to win over my father-in-law, too.

-Go for it! Good luck, man. -Thanks, Uncle!

There are auspicious dates within the next three months.

My family wanted me to tell you.

Shall we set a date?

I'll take care of the dates during those three months.

Exams are coming up in a month, right?

Just pass those. That's enough for me.
