All language subtitles for Carmeni Selvam 2026_track4_[eng]

Mom, did Dad call you?

Dad, this will be my last call to you.

After this,
I won't speak to you anymore.

God came in my dream and spoke to me.

If you don't call me
in the next two days...

I won't speak to you ever!

Bye, Dad!

Greetings, sir.

Selvam, here's your 1st month's salary.

I hope you're happy.
Here you go.

You can keep it with you, sir.

Please buy me a flight ticket
and send me back home.

Are you kidding me?

We spent on your visa,
ticket, driving license,

your daily food and stay expenses.

Do you even know how much it all costs?

It'll take a minimum of three months
for the company to gain profit from you.

Selvam, your salary here equals
what you'd earn in six months in India.

Do you even realize it or not?

I'm not able to take it, sir.

Selvam, I agree,
the first month is always hard.

If you could get through one year...

After a year, the company will cover
the cost of your visit home.

You can have a month's vacation back home.

And when you're leaving, your family
will bid you farewell with full hearts.

I hope you understand, Selvam.

One year--
One year will be too hard on me, sir.

Selvam, are you missing your wife?

There are ways to overcome that as well.

Here you go!

Brother, may I borrow your phone?

-Damn! Here you go.
-I'll just send a text.

Shanthi,
I received my first month's salary.

Like I mentioned,
I won't be buying a phone.

Please do not call me at this number.
It will be a trouble for him.

If there's anything,
I'll call you myself.

-Thank you so much.
-Ah! Okay, okay.

Hey! Hey!
You're getting late for school.

I'll skin you!

Wow!

Dad, it feels like it's dragging me.
Will it lift me too?

Nothing to worry about.
You keep flying it.

My son!

How do you think the airplane is flying
without dealing with a string?

I believe there are strings attached to it,
but they're not visible to the naked eye.

Hey!

Don't be a dud!

Who do you think will roll up
the strings after it lands?

I'm sure there'll be people in each corner
sitting down and rolling it up.

Don't think like a fool.

My science teacher has advised...

...to think like a fool
at least once a day.

But we think like fools all day.

Shall I suggest an idea?

Shall we bunk school today
and roam the city?

-Dad!
-Yeah!

You're a genius, Dad.

You're the only one
who has truly understood me.

Greetings, Brother.

-Greetings, Brother.
-Greetings.

Do you remember
what Sir's instructions were?

He mentioned watering the plants
on the other side.

-Please water them.
-I will!

Madam?

No?

Hey, Durga, I saw that.

Dear!

I asked you not to take Selvam's phone.

-Morning, Selvam.
-Greetings, sir.

You made a habit
of giving your phone to her.

-In your absence, she takes our phone.
-Sir, I don't give her, though.

Phones have become
an essential part of children's lives.

-Selvam! 11:30 a.m. airport.
-Sir!

Okay, sir.

Durga! Put the phone down.

Give it back to Selvam.

-Selvam, sir.
-Madam!

We're going to surprise, Mr. Sampath.

Once again, you say.

If you mess it up...

-I won't let you chauffeur him around.
-Oh, no, I'll help you.

You keep surprising him daily.

It'll take two hours.
I'll reach and call you.

Durga, be good!

-Sir, let me help you.
-Thanks, Selvam.

-Devi, bye.
-Please get in.

-Bye, sweetie.
-Send her in.

-You?
-I'll whack you. Bring me in.

-Please wait.
-Who's in the back seat?

-Why are you here?
-Dad, please let me come along.

I'll return with Selvam uncle.
Please let me come.

-Are you sure?
-Yes!

I'll call you.

Madam, didn't you want me
to bring some groceries?

Note it down.

-Selvam, it's getting late.
-Sure, we'll leave.

-Yes, tell me.
-Brinjal 1 Kg.

-Brinjal 1 Kg.
-Erm...

-Ladies finger 1 Kg.
-Ladies finger 1 Kg...

-What else? Potatoes?
-What's happening?

-Snake guard 1/4 Kg.
-Snake guard...

-Shall I note it down on my laptop?
-Sir!

-Sir, no need...
-You're wasting time. I'll miss my flight.

-It's getting late. You leave.
-The pen is not working.

She doesn't want me to go.

Please leave, Selvam.

-You call him and give him the details.
-Yeah, sure!

-It's time for my flight.
-Madam, please come.

You too come along.

We'll buy them
on our way back home.

I'm all set, sir.

What is happening?

We'll buy the groceries
on our way back home.

Fine, please drive.

Don't get down!

Surprise!

We are coming along as well.

Don't worry,
we won't disturb you.

We'll go out in the evenings, though.

How do you like our plan?

Devi, do you think I work only
during the day and not at night?

Please don't yell at me.

Selvam, please take them back home.

Come on! I'm late!

Sir, madam, is yearning to join you.

Also, your daughter wants to come along.

Please take them along.

Selvam, you do go to work daily.

Would you like it
if your wife and son came along?

Yeah, I will be happy.

If they too get inside the car...

...where will you sit?

No! It's not funny at all.

A person's mindset differs
between work and vacation.

This is a work trip.
I won't have time for you guys.

Sir, Madam, has already bought the tickets.

Fine, Selvam,
from tomorrow you will work for Madam.

I will hire another driver for me.

-Sir, you please carry on!
-That's more like it.

-Bye, sir.
-Bye, sweetie!

-We'll return home with groceries.
-See you both soon.

Please, carry on, sir.

One, two, three...

The offering box
for the Tirupati pilgrimage is full now.

We must go on pilgrimage next month.

Hey, I see a new offering box.

That's a new savings box
to help buy a new car.

Oh-oh!
What about buying a house plan?

If the offering box for a car fills up
and we buy a new car...

...soon we will buy a house as well.

You put all the money we make
into the offering box.

Then you complain that my salary
isn't enough for house expenses.

-Rekha called.
-What did she now tempt you with?

Her husband bought a new car.

And he enrolled in a taxi service.

He's making
forty thousand rupees per month.

Later, your granny will call you.

She'll try to tempt you by claiming someone
bought an auto and is earning a lot.

Then you'll add another offering box.

Don't mock me!

Your brother will claim that
he's making millions by owning a boat.

So, another offering box for it.

Don't!

-You're pissing me off!
-I didn't mean to, dear.

If we only focus on saving.

We'll spend more
buying these boxes than saving.

So, please stop with three offering boxes.

Hey, what now?

It doesn't matter
if we buy a house or not.

But please don't mock me.

Hey, look at me.

I don't mind living in a rented house
for the rest of my life.

I was just messing around.
And you're getting upset.

Listen, we'll buy some land
and build a house.

Just like you desired.

-Dad!
-Yes, son.

How do you like this house?

Hey! It looks fabulous, my son.

Look at it.
We'll build a similar house.

-What the hell is this?
-What do you mean?

If we build a house like this...

...we don't need to buy land
or any other materials.

We don't need any of it.
There's a tree outback.

You just break open one of the boxes,
and I'll build a fantastic house.

Why do you even need our savings
to build this house?

-Then how?
-Oh, God!

Any longer,
they'll turn me into a fool like them.

Some woman you are.

You'd know its value
only when I build it.

Madam, I have a small problem.

Shanthi wants to buy a house.

Am I right?

Madam!

When you got married,
what did you promise her?

Did you not promise her to buy a house?

Shortly after our wedding,
Devi asked for a car.

But I protested, we don't need a car.

Later, he did buy a car.

Later, family and business
grew to the next level.

Now he's forgotten about me.

That sentimental car is everything to him.

-You won't believe me, Selvam.
-I will. Please go ahead, sir.

Daily, Madam, scolds me.

I'm not able to believe this.

-But not sure why?
-No one ever does!

Don't be bothered, sir.
She's just scolding.

I hope she's not beating you.

I reckon you get beaten by your wife.

I cannot reveal that, sir.

Shanthi!

Balu's idea worked wonders.

I'm very proud of my son.

But I feel sorry for you.

Why?

You think you're building a house,
but it's a nest.

-Hey, look at me.
-God help me!

In ten years,
with the rising real estate prices...

...no one will be able
even to afford a tree branch.

Then you will realize
the worth of this house.

-Let's see.
-Let's see.

-Dad.
-Yeah.

You're a genius, Dad.

You know it.

But your mother doesn't.

-Both of you come for dinner.
-Yeah, coming.

Too much, she is.

SHANTHI'S HOUSE

-Hello?-Sister-in-law.

-Yes.-I have a good news.

-Tell me.-Raji has hit puberty.

That's great news!

I called my brother,
but he's not answering my call.

He must be driving.

I'll inform him
as soon as he gets home.

-Sure.-When are you holding the event?

-It's tomorrow.
-Tomorrow, you say?

Yes!

-What time?-We have scheduled it in the evening.

But you people come off
in the morning.

Sure, I will.

But please don't skip the event.

How could we not?
We will definitely make it.

-See you tomorrow.-Sure, I'm hanging up.

Hey, did you happen to
move the money I kept here?

Here it is.

The last time she drained me financially
was for her wedding.

It took me ten years to repay that debt.

What are you looking at me for?

It has only 4,500 rupees.

We need some money for travel expenses.

Give that to me.
Let's round off the gift to 5,000 rupees.

I will handle the travel expenses.

My sister decided
to conduct the rituals at her whim.

A gift of 2,000 rupees is enough.

-We're already struggling financially.
-Stop penny pinching.

Your father will soon buy a car.

Then we can travel in luxury.

Hey! Hey!

In a car,
we'll be sitting in different seats.

Come to me.

But now you're sitting on my lap.

That too, next to a window seat.

-Dad.
-Yeah.

You're a genius, Dad.

Make her understand.

You're looking beautiful.
Let's go!

-Come on!
-Brother, step aside.

-What is it?
-Please come this side.

Step aside!

Blocking my way, idiot!

Like I mentioned, my brother is here.

I placed a bet with your sister
that you won't show up.

-How can I not? I'm the maternal uncle.

-Please bless my daughter.
-Come, dear.

Look, your maternal uncle has arrived.

I'm very happy, sister-in-law.

-Go ahead and finish the ritual.
-Give it to me.

Take it.

Look over there.

That's about it.

Sister-in-law,
I'd like to speak with you in private.

What is it?

Sister-in-law

Sister-in-law, you could've
told me if you were struggling.

When you give someone a gift,
it should be generous.

If you're struggling and borrowed to
buy a gift, my family won't see it well.

You could've avoided the formality
of giving a gift.

But penny pinching is humiliating.

You know what.

Everyone is asking me
if my brother is struggling financially.

Here's 50,000 rupees.
Please take it.

There's 50,000 rupees in it.

Use this to buy some jewels
and save my brother's honour.

Please!

-♪ A peppy girl will appear shocked ♪

♪ Will stop now and then
And Take a deep breath ♪

I've told you a million times.
But you never listened to me.

No matter how much we gift her,
people will still talk.

We can't be dancing to their tunes.

Your dignity is more important to me
than this wedding chain.

Only recently I was able to pay off
the loan I took out for her wedding.

I don't want to repeat the mistake.

We did what was in our capacity
and will do more when we can.

She's our niece.
We'll do our best for her.

Give this back to her.

-How can you be so chill?
-That's how I am.

Hey, Balu, give me my phone.

Give it to her.

-Bless you.
-Listen...

it's okay if you didn't gift her anything.

When you pretend to be broke...

Some family, you are.

Hey, did you break
the pilgrimage offering box?

-Huh?
-We'll save up again.

How much did you gift her?

I'm speaking to you.
How much did you gift her?

I gifted her everything we had.

Come here.

Come here, I say.

Did you sell the wedding chain?
Did you sell it?

Why won't you listen to me?

Have you gone mad?

You didn't care for dignity or honour
and were stuffing yourself.

Am I or are you mad?

Did you see me stuffing myself?

Did you see it?

Who cares about dignity or honour?

As it is, we're struggling.

You should've stuck to
whatever we could afford to gift her.

It's an insult to you.

Isn't selling the wedding chain
an insult to me?

Despite showering her with gifts,
did they even respect it?

Or was the honour reclaimed?

I ought to!

No, it wasn't reclaimed.

To live with honour,
you must become something.

We should own a house, a car,
and have a business of our own.

If not, this will be the result.

You'll be reduced to
dancing to others' tunes.

Hey, you're going overboard.

Yes, this is me!
I will be myself until I die.

Until I'm alive,
I'll be Sampath sir's driver.

And I will live in this slum.

I will dance my heart out.
What can you do?

Do as you please.

Dance! Keep dancing with your son.

When Balu grows up, he'll question
you about what you've done for him.

I'll watch what you answer him then.

I'm not sure if he'll question me.

But your questions
make me wanna kill myself.

Get lost!

Damn it!

-Pay your WiFi bill.
-Here you go.

Wake up.

What do you want, sir?

If you pay the bill,
I'll be on my way.

If you don't, then I'll disconnect
the WiFi and the wife, too.

Give it to me.

-Hey, pay up!
-Here you go.

Okay.

Hey, don't you want WiFi?

Are you married?

Do you have children?

Are you a mute?

You seem weird.

Hey, keep an eye on this fellow.

Damn you!

Hey, lower the volume, dude.

My son is about to receive a prize.

Let's give a round of applause
to Master Aryan.

Winner of the Science fair competition.

Dad, someone is here to meet you.

Ask your mother to see who's at the door.

Why me? Isn't your father jobless?

Ask him to check.

It's not as if she's too busy.

Of course, I'm busy.

-Selvam, sir.
-Madam! Sir!

Madam, please welcome.

-Please welcome.
-Welcome, sir.

-Sit down, sir.
-Sir wanted to come unannounced.

If we're visiting relatives,
we must inform them.

To visit Selvam,
there's no need for formalities.

Oh, no, Madam! Sir!

I must be lucky
to have you in my house.

-Come on, Selvam.
-Please sit down.

Hey, make Madam's favorite fish curry.

-Hey, you go and get chairs.
-Here I go.

Please sit down.

Shall we take them out there?

Shall we take them out there?

-Which grade are you in?
-I'm in the 1st grade.

He built this treehouse from scratch.

Here and there, Balu helped him as well.

Molasses juice.

-Molasses?
-Yeah, a specialty in our area.

It's good!

Is Treehouse exclusively for your family?

Sir, I didn't even install a door.

Anyone can visit. It's open for all.

Oh! Brilliant!

Selvam, sir, is rocking.

You're right!
He always thinks out of the box.

Oh!

As of now treehouse has come out well.

Once it's completed, it'll look awesome.

"My wife wishes to build a house."

He keeps saying
that he must soon fulfill your wish.

-Am I right?
-Yes!

Once I told her
I was going to build a treehouse...

she broke one of the offering boxes
and gave me the money.

If we can find a place like this,
why would we even go abroad?

We will also see the same sea
in that country.

That's why your Boss has applied
for a month's leave.

Sir, are you on leave for a month?

You're well aware of my wife.

If I don't listen to her, then her
surprise will take a different turn.

Lovely, right?

Shall we take a picture?

-Let's take one.
-Let's take a selfie.

-Come on.
-Please come.

-Selvam, come closer.
-Yes, sir.

-Selvam!
-Sir.

If someone calls and asks for me,
tell them you don't know anything.

-Okay?
-Sure, sir.

-For your expenses.
-Sir! Sir!

Sir, you already pay me a salary.
Don't spoil me with this habit.

-I don't need it.
-I insist, Selvam.

Selvam, sir, please take it.

-Did Madam tell you something?
-No, she did not.

-Please take it.
-Sir, please keep it with you.

You consider me part of your family.

-If you mean it, don't insist.
-Selvam, we might return late.

It's okay, sir.
Please have a safe journey.

We are together.

Madam, be safe. Go safe.

Yes, tell me.

Balu fell from the top.

He hurt his head and is bleeding.

He's unconscious.

I'm petrified.

I'm taking him to the hospital.

Wherever you are,
please get there soon.

-Don't worry. He'll be fine.
-Balu!

I don't have money on me.

-Sure, I will come with money.-Please come soon.

-Hello, brother. Selvam speaking.-Yes, Selvam.

I'm urgently in need of money.

-Money? I can't hear you.
-Brother!

-Selvam, shall I call you later?
-Brother?

He pretends to give it
and then takes it away with an excuse.

I'm scared.

I made a huge mistake.

I shouldn't have broken open
the pilgrimage offering box.

Here, put the balance of money
back in the offering box.

Will he deduct from your salary next month?

I didn't take money from Sampath, sir.

Did you take a loan, then?

I'm speaking to you.

From whom did you take a loan?

Loan sharks?

Tell me! I'm speaking to you.

Did you borrow from our neighbors?

Or did you sell something?

Hey, for God's sake, answer me.

Two years of hard-earned savings,
you gave it away as a gift.

I borrowed from him.

What?

Although I fulfilled the gift by selling
my wedding chain, he humiliated us.

Why would you borrow from him?

Do you have any shame or honour?

To hell with the shame and honour!

No one else helped.
Only he gave the money.

Damn it!

Look, we must return
this money to him in four days.

Pride has taken precedence.

We'll pay him back!

We'll return his money
after Sampath sir returns.

Sampath, sir...

It will take a month
for Sampath, sir, to return.

Do you think our relatives will keep quiet?

Would you keep quiet?

You want this or that,
or live your life in a particular way

Never-ending wishes.

Right! I'm a greedy person.

I'm always worried
that no one should point fingers at you.

I am to blame!

Let them think
I don't care if they see me as a beggar.

I care a damn!

This is not a loan from him but alms.

Alms that must be returned.

Hey, you should return home
only when you're respected.

So that you don't get humiliated.

Brother,
I'm going to be a father in two months.

If they don't approve my leave,
they'll have to face the consequences.

Listen, no one cares a squat about you.

Brother, that was too harsh.

Within a month of my marriage,
I arrived here.

It's been eight months since.

My wife was devastated when I left.

How would you be useful to her
after she delivers he baby?

Will you bathe, feed the child milk,
or change his diaper?

What will you do?

It's for the moral support, brother.

To hell with moral support.

No one will care about you.

The focus will be only on the child.

And the child will be sleeping
all the time.

If you save up for two years
and then visit them...

You can enjoy your stay,
try for a second child, and return.

My contract ends in two years.

Why would I return?

When will you finish building
the treehouse?

I love this treehouse.

I enrolled in a taxi service.

Taxi service?

What about the car?

Did you inform Sampath, sir, about it?

This car is sentimental for him.

How did you manage to enroll?

There are many ways
to enroll a car in a taxi service.

Only now do I understand everything.

If, sir, comes to know about it?

Once he returns,
we'll explain our situation to him.

I feel we're doing the wrong thing.

Indeed, it's wrong. It's wrong.

They claim I can make 4,000 rupees
in two days.

Don't you feel guilty?

I will consider these four days
to be a nightmare and move on.

Dad, why are you changing
the colour of the license plate?

People claim that with a whiteboard,
I can't make any money.

Who said?

Balu, come over here.

-Go and finish your homework.
-Okay, Mom.

[old Tamil song playing on the radio]

Woohoo! Hey!

Old song! Hey!

OTP, please.

0010. Here you go.

You check in Udhayam and you in Kamala.

Please wear your seat belt.

I won't wear it. Please drive.

Hey, you check in Kamala.

Dude, there are no tickets in Udhayam.

Dude, there are no tickets in INOX, either.

-Shall I book 4 pm show at Kamala?
-No need!

I will reveal to you all when and where
you can find the 60 bucks tickets.

Brother, please go to City Center.

Dude, it's hard to get.
The tickets are already sold out.

Listen, if we book online, we'll have to
pay 25 rupees in convenience charges.

If we buy at the counter,
it's only 60 bucks.

We can shift to premium seats
after the movie starts.

-You can get movie tickets at 60 bucks?
-Yes!

-Oh, my!
-City Center is sold out.

Brother, please take a U-turn.

Keep driving.

So, if I take my family,
180 rupees is enough to watch a movie.

You might think.

After you park your car,
window shop, eat ice cream,

and finally when you arrive
at the theatre...

...you'll be broke.

A water bottle costs 100 bucks.

Oh, no! Why would I take my car?

I'll park the car at home.

I will go by bus, silently watch the movie,
and return silently back home.

Bro, it's not as easy as you think.

There are many hacks involved.

Only experts like us can execute it.

Awesome!

I understood.

You're penny-pinching on movie tickets.

Your cab fare is 250 rupees.
How do you plan to pay me?

Brother, we'll come up with something.

Hey, wait!

How much do you make on a good day?

Approximately, I would make 2,500 rupees.

Do you know we make 250 rupees per minute?

Oh-oh! How?

Shall I? Give me your phone.

Switch on Bluetooth.

Hey, don't reveal everything to him.

Hey, calm down. He's one of us.
Log in to your phone.

Open, Account Pay.

Please don't be scared,
it's your phone.

Until I say stop
you keep switching on and off.

The traffic signal is your time reference.

Okay, are you ready?

Nine, Eight, Seven

-Guys, escape!
-Hey, guys!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Not able to sleep?

You usually sleep once you hit the bed.

What happened?

They say money made through deceit
never stays with you.

Neither do I know how to cheat
nor do I know how to make money.

But I got cheated royally.

Are we making a mistake, Shanthi?

There's no doubt in it.

In case we run into big trouble...

do you think we can come up
with the money to resolve it?

I don't know.

Will Balu grow up and question me
about what I did for him?

If I speak to you anymore,
I'll be petrified.

Please go to sleep.

When I suggest the same,
he yells at me.

I thought you wouldn't be
going back to the taxi service.

If I get cheated today as well,
I will take it as a sign from God and quit.

Ma'am, your next shot is...

Where do you want to go, Madam?

Keep driving. I'll let you know.

Is she planning to take me outskirt...

...beat me up and steal my car.

It's best I go to the Police station.

However, if they see a woman crying,
who would believe me?

I should not open the doors
without getting paid.

Do you have exact change, Madam?

The way I'm going to yell,
she has to reply now.

Please drop me at the same spot
as the pickup point.

Okay, Madam.

Won't it feel wrong
when you're making a mistake?

Madam!

Madam!

Madam!

Madam! Madam!

You see, I know I'm making a mistake.

But I know he'll forgive me. So...

You're right!

At times,
forgiving people for making mistakes...

...is a kind of weakness.

Oh-oh! Madam, cab fare!

Oh, sorry!

That's a good joke, Harini.

[in Kannada] How are you?
I hope everything is well.

Hey, one second.
I'm getting another call.

-Are you at the location?
-Yes, sir.

-Are you sure? I'm already here.
-I have arrived, sir.

Turn around.
I'm always on time.

Harini, the driver,
thinks he arrived first.

It's impossible.

Driver, don't leave right away.

I'm expecting an idiot shortly.

-Okay, sir.
-He will talk nonsense and annoy us.

Shalini, do you remember
the podi idlis we had last time?

They're very delicious!

Yeah, I know that you paid the bill.

Next time...

...you will be paying the bill as well.

I apologize, sir, I was running late.

See, the travel time is only 15 minutes.

Finish your pitch within that time.

I already lost 5 minutes.

Because, I'm always on time.

This insurance policy is suitable
for high-profile executives like you.

I won't waste your time.

What is this?
Oh, this! Okay, okay.

Mr. Vasanth, I gave you an appointment
because my friend Saravana referred you.

To be honest, I won't buy insurance.

Moreover,
I don't consider this as savings at all.

I understand, sir.
A savings scheme is also available.

You will see for yourself.

How old are you, sir?

-Forty-seven... Forty-eight...
-Forty-seven... Forty-eight...

And how old is your wife?

It's okay, you can say it, sir.

-Forty-four.
-Forty-four.

-Do you have children?
-I have two children.

Erm... Mr. Vasanth.

I can provide you with more information
about the insurance.

Please forget about
selling insurance to people like me.

How old are your children?

My eldest daughter is 15.

And my younger son is 12.

Mr. Vasanth, please don't waste my time.

I understand. I'll complete the calculation
and let you know if it meets your needs.

Shall I put down your
monthly income as 1.5 lakhs?

Is 1.5 lakhs correct, sir?

You can put it down as two lakhs.

Two lakhs!

Driver, do you have insurance?

Are you asking me, sir?

Of course, I'm asking you,
not the insurance agent.

I'm speaking to you.

My car is insured, sir.

I'm not talking about the car, but you.

Annoying.

Sir, if the Police pull over,
he'll check if the car is insured.

And they will check
if I have a driving license.

See, Mr. Vasanth, you should be
selling insurance to people like him.

Instead, you're trying to sell it to me.

In two minutes,
I'll complete the calculations.

-Okay. So, driver...
-Sir?

If the car is involved in an accident,

your Boss will claim the insurance
and receive the money.

If something were to happen to you,
what would your family do?

My wife owns a street food cart.

She'll find a way to survive.

Then what's the use of marrying you?

Won't people blame you for abandoning them?

The people are already accusing me of it.

See, Mr. Vasanth, find people like him.

And ensure they understand
the importance of the insurance.

Instead, you're trying to convince me.

-Oh, Lord Ganesha!
-I completed the calculations, sir.

How much is it?

It's coming up to...

Six crores!

Oh, Lord Ganesha!

-Phew!
-Six crores!

Sir!

Rise and fall of the economy for 10 years.
Monthly expenses.

Son's education.

Under Graduation
from a good engineering college in India

and a Post Graduation in the USA.

Regardless of your daughter's education,

her wedding expenses
will be your responsibility.

Wedding expenses
according to the upper middle class.

Then come medical expenses,
emergencies, and family vacations.

Sir, after you...

if you wish for your family
to maintain the same lifestyle

and settle down your children, as well...

At least, you will need six crores...

Sir, is your wife working too?

Then you surely need six crores, sir.

Six... and I...

Take a look.

Why are you showing me these things?

You may have heard about people
dying from coconuts falling on their heads.

This man from Chengalpattu died
when a cow fell from the roof.

-Cow, you say?
-Yes!

Cow?

Bullshit!

This guy was working in an IT company.

Died after falling from the 14th floor

while leaning on unbreakable glass panes
during a demonstration.

-This case is funnier.
-Listen...

How do you find these things funny?

While he was shaving his beard
in his house...

...he coughed and the blade cut the nerve

Why are you showing me these things?

I met these men a week before they died
to convince them to buy insurance.

Fools! None of them agreed.

Sir! You may leave.

I'll pay for the cab.

Lord Ganesha!

Sir, please be careful.

Oh, no!

Watch out, damn it!

Oh, Lord Ganesha!

Sir!

Please step aside.

Coconuts above your head.

Oh, Lord Ganesha!

I might spare him, but you're determined.

Sir, you suggested an excellent idea
for the welfare of his family.

-But he doesn't get it.-Harini.

Podi Idly... We need six crores.

I'm shattered, dear.

Sir, am I eligible to buy insurance?

You won't need one.

What would happen to my family if I die?

Would you like to have tea?

Will having tea bring my family money?

Come on!

How much do you save in a month?

Savings?

Whatever I make isn't enough
to cover my expenses.

First, save some money and call me.

I'll guide you on what to do.

How do I save?

For that,
I have to make more than my expenses.

Even before I receive my salary,
expenses are waiting to drain it.

Who told you that you need to
earn more to save more?

How else do we do it?

Imagine I'm giving you 2,000 rupees.

How will you spend it?

-2,000 rupees?
-Yes.

I'll keep 500 aside
for the pilgrimage offering box.

Then I'll split another 500 each
for the house and car offering box.

The balance 500 I'll use it for expenses.

I asked you how you will spend, not save.

That too in one day.

Spend it!

I would buy new clothes.
But Diwali is not for 6 months.

I'll buy sweets and savouries.

You'll buy sweets and savouries for 2,000?

What does your family desire?
What would make them happy?

I borrowed 10,000 rupees from relatives.

If I repay them,
my wife will be happy.

-My client who just got out of the car.
-Yes.

He has a debt of two crores.

Two crores?

The beach villa, car,
and suits are for the optics.

All the rich are in debt.

You said your wife will survive
with a food cart even if you die.

But if he dies,
his entire family will be on the street.

How can one sleep in peace
with so much debt?

They get used to it.

It's not imperative to earn more
to save more.

-Instead, take out a lot of loans.
-Oh-oh!

Who would even trust
and approve a loan for me?

It won't take more than 200 rupees
to buy sweets and savouries.

But who would give you a loan 2,000 rupees?

Sir, why are you giving me so much money?

When I mentioned the insurance amount,
you applied the brakes.

It's a reward for that.

If you earn 200 rupees,
spend 2,000 rupees.

Then, 2,00,000 rupees will come your way.

Listen, before becoming a rich person...

learn to live like the rich.

Be well, my friend.

Before becoming a rich person...

learn to live like the rich.

-Hey, Shanthi!-Hmm.

-Balu and you be ready.-For what?

-We're going out in the evening.-Going out?

How come out of the blue?

-Hereafter, get used to it.-Wow!

Let's go.

-Hey, come on!
-Where are we going?

Come on!

You sit here. And you sit behind.

-Shall we leave?
-Sure, Dad.

How come you planned suddenly?

Stop with the suspense.

Hey, be quiet.

-Sit down calmly.
-Balu, you ask him.

Are we dining here?

Welcome, Madam!

Let's go.

Hey, don't be afraid.
It's our place.

When did you buy it?
You never told.

Hey, let's go!
Enough with the sarcastic jokes.

Get inside the lift.

Hey, don't lie to me.

Go and sit over there.
You too.

Listen, don't worry about the bill.

It won't be too much.

Today we have the money
and we're going to enjoy it.

There are many hotels in our area.

Not like this one, though.

Why did we even come here?

Doesn't being here make it feel
like our lives have changed?

Don't you feel happy?

You're right, Dad.

-It does feel different.
-Of course!

But I don't know how to express it.

Fine, look at the people eating behind us.

Cheers!

Look at her ears.

Look at her neck.

Now look at her dress.

Why are you asking me to notice it all?

Don't they look happy to you?

I'm scared looking at her.

That's where the problem lies.

To shake off the fear,
you must learn to live luxuriously.

We must buy what we desire
and spend without thinking.

Would doing it all bring us happiness?

Hey, when they look so happy here.

Imagine, how happy they must be
at their house.

Fine, what would you do
if your wife showed up here?

What would you do
if your wife showed up here?

I will ask her
what she would like to have.

Mom, please listen to Dad.

-Let's live happily.
-That's my boy.

Tell me, my dear son.
What would you like to have?

Aren't you happy?

You always want to buy this or that,

or nag me about savings
and control expenses.

How will I be happy?

Good evening, sir.
A la carte or buffet?

Get me one of each.

It's not possible, sir.

You mentioned two items
and said you ran out of one of them.

In à la carte,
you will have to order the food.

In buffet you pick anything as you please.

That sounds good.

-Fine, we'll take the buffet.
-Okay, sir.

Take whatever you like to eat.

I wasn't hungry when we got here.

But looking at the food now,
I'm damn hungry.

Hunger will tag along with the desire.

Shall I serve you?

How come you sound intelligent today?

Mom, only now are you realizing it.

Dad is always a genius.

-You're the best, my son.
-That's enough.

Bill, sir.

How much is it?

How much is it?

I'll tell you. Let's go.

I'm speaking to you.
How much was the bill?

The bill was 4,700 rupees.

Whoa! 4,700 rupees?

Stop yelling. Let's go.

For three people, it cost 4,700 rupees?

Only two people. It's free for Balu.

For two people?

Why didn't you take the change?

-Tips!
-Tips?

Even if we sell ten drums of idlis,
we can't make so much money.

You and your idlis.
Please keep walking.

Here you go.

If we're looking to
repay the debt of 10,000 in 4 days...

How could we if we spend irresponsibly?

You're right!

We must take a loan.

Only if we take out a loan
can we be successful.

Not just four days but a month.

I'll drive a taxi service
until Sir returns.

You're making a mistake.

Just for a month, please listen to me.

I will turn around our lives.

Come on!

Thank you, sir.

Hello?

Brother, please consider
lowering the price.

This is today's land rate.

When I bought a land in '77,
it was only 25,000 rupees.

But now it's worth one crore.

In 40 years, it has increased 400 times.

Bear this in mind.

The land price will always be
beyond our budget.

A person who has the courage
to build a house using a loan...

...can be considered a millionaire.

Trust me on this, sir.

The price is currently at its peak.

It cannot possibly go higher than this.

In the future, if the government builds
multi-lane highways, what would you do?

There's no use in owning land
just on paper.

You can only enjoy it if you sell it
and make a profit.

Ask for your share.
Ask for your share.

He's only capable of buying
a quarter ground.

But calls a hundred times to negotiate.

If you're interested,
just buy it, damn it.

Sir! Sir!

-I have a doubt.
-Ask away.

Is it good to buy or sell land?

-I'm very confused.
-Do you own a piece of land?

No!

-Do you have money to buy one?
-No!

Then why do you have a doubt?

Sir, I am just trying to stay
informed about current affairs.

You should read the newspaper.

-Shall I be frank with you?
-Go ahead!

If you own land, it would be
beneficial if you were to sell it to me.

Oh-oh!

Otherwise, it's best if you buy it from me.

Oh-oh!

How much does a piece of land cost?

Quarter or half ground?

How much would it cost
to buy quarter ground?

It will be 600 sq. ft.

600 sq. ft.

-How big is 600 sq. ft.?
-He's incorrigible.

You can park 10 cars like this one.

-10 cars, you say?
-Yes!

Then parking wouldn't be an issue.

Would the path leading to the house
be convenient?

-Path, you ask?
-Yeah.

You see this wide road...

You can use it. It's entirely free.

I don't have time to chit-chat.

If you make up your mind, call me.

5,430 rupees.

How much is in the account?

In the account...

In the account...

Nine thousand...

...seven hundred and forty rupees.

The grand total
is approximately 15,000 rupees.

Even to put a down payment on a quarter
ground, we are short of 10,000 rupees.

We don't have that kind of money now.

Hey, idli cooker, sit down.

-What is it?
-Sit down.

Here, hold this.

In 15 days,
I managed to make 15,000 rupees.

If I continue this for 10 days,
I can earn another 10,000 rupees.

What if Sampath sir returns earlier?

Fine, let me make it in 8 days.

Why can't you make it in 6 days?

I can absolutely do it.

I leave at 5 am every morning.

Hereafter, I'll leave at 4 am.

Why so late?

Why don't you leave at 3 am?

Oh-oh! This sounds like a good idea.

I'll leave at 3 am.

I usually return at 8 pm.

Hereafter, I'll return at 10 pm.

What would you do
if you were returning so early?

Return at 11 pm.

I'll return home at 11 pm.

I'll sleep and quickly wake up
in the morning and leave for work.

Why are you even returning home?

Park the car on the side of the road
and take a nap.

Then wake up and resume.
You'll save on petrol.

Fantastic!

You're the best, Shanthi!

I'll sleep on the footpath.

Now that you expressed your desire,
I don't mind sleeping anywhere.

But you must listen to what I say.

Not quarter ground,
but we're buying half a ground.

As if this face
is going to buy half a ground.

Exactly this face. Take a good look.

Take it.

The down payment
for half a ground is 50,000 rupees.

Please don't be so cynical
before we plan something.

Have faith!

How do you plan to pay the
15,000 rupees EMI that will follow?

You will pay.

-You're the owner.
-Why would I pay?

You're buying, so you pay.

I'm going to register it under your name.

You're full of it, my dear.

We're buying half a ground of land!

Next week, Balu's school
will be holding its Annual Day event.

He's going to play Lord Ganesha.

We have to buy the costume for him.

Can you return earlier today?

You guys get ready by 6 pm.
I'll come and get you guys.

Oh, damn! How big is this TV?

-How do you like it?
-Sir, how much did it cost?

Who knows! I'll know when
my credit card bill arrives in the mail.

What's a credit card?

We can buy things now...

and pay it later.

-If I fail to repay?
-They'll cancel the card.

What if I repay without defaulting?

If you repay diligently, you'll be
eligible for a higher credit limit.

Would I be eligible for a credit card?

Brother, they'll approve anyone.

However, using a credit card properly
is a challenging task.

Will we encounter any problems, sir?

Just in case you're unable to repay...

...you'll simply be slapped
with a legal notice.

That's it!

Oh-oh!

Hey!

Dad, it looks awesome!

Indeed, it's awesome!

-What made you buy a TV suddenly?-What made you buy a TV suddenly?

Thanks to this plastic card.

This card lends itself to you
without asking any questions.

If we repay
without defaulting on payments...

...it will keep on lending.

So, a loan!

Loan?!

Only if we take a loan
can we be successful.

Where are you going, idli cooker?

If I keep watching TV,
then who's going to make dinner?

No one asked you to make dinner.

There's also a way to get dinner.
Come on, relax.

What do you mean?

What do you like to eat?

-Dad, briyani for me.
-Wait, briyani monger.

I'm going to order something special
and we'll have dinner together.

It'll be here soon.

How much can you borrow
on this card for a month?

Hey, it's not a ration card
for you to buy every month.

It's a credit card.

It's like unlimited meals.
It's up to you to stop using it.

Please quit this job.

Stop behaving like a kid.

Please return to India.

We're finding it hard
to be away from you.

Don't you miss me or our children?

The children are studying in a good school.

We live in a great community.

Aren't I doing everything
the way you wanted?

Everything is going so well.

Let's shift back to our old house.

Let's shift the kids
to a less popular school.

Enough working abroad.

Please!

That's why I didn't want you to
come to the airport.

But you didn't listen.

Sir, may I ask you a doubt?

Please go ahead.
She's melodramatic.

If I visit once a year and leave,
she'll be crying for a month.

If we slog for two years abroad...

People say we can earn enough money

to live comfortably
for the rest of our lives without working.

Is it true, sir?

Without a doubt, it's absolutely true.

Oh-oh!

Sir, in which country are you working?

-I'm working in Sharjah.
-Oh-oh!

Mom, did you tell Dad
that I'm playing Lord Ganesha?

-I told him.
-You wouldn't have told him.

You must've forgotten.

Had you told him,
he would've taken us shopping.

Yesterday, I earned a profit
of 10,000 rupees from share trading.

Use the money to place a bet on Rummy.

Brother, all you have to do
is like the videos sent to you.

They will keep sending you money.

Invest in cryptocurrency.

Hereafter, everything is digital.

What now in thousands
will grow into millions.

Oh-oh!

Oh!

Shanthi!

-Shanthi!
-What is it?

There are many ways to make money.

We've been oblivious to it.

Only now,
I'm learning it one by one.

Yeah, right.

Did you even ask how many ways
there are to lose the money?

Stop being negative, Shanthi.
Think positive.

Imagine I made a lot of money.
Would you refuse it?

Won't you stack up your idli cookers?

Enough chit-chat.

It's already Sunday.

You promised to take us shopping
for Balu's annual day costume.

Do you remember?

Wait for me
at Purasaiwakkam bus stand at 6 pm.

I'll be there sharp to pick you guys up.

Hey, open the boot.

Sir, luggage is not allowed
on the shared trip.

-Why?
-That's the rule!

Do you want a good rating or not?

-I want.
-Then, open the boot.

Madam, are you a new booking?

-What?
-Hey, she's with me.

-Oh-oh.
-Yeah.

Sir, two passengers
can't travel under one booking.

Consider me overweight.

-Do you want a good rating or not?
-I want.

-Let's move, man.
-Yeah, Madam.

Sir, what is it?

Hey, why are you roaming the city?

I got another ride booking.

If you keep roaming and delay it,
you will have to buy me food.

Fine, I'll buy you food,
give you a massage, and sing a song.

Wow! Awesome!

Do you know a sweet lullaby?

My mother used to sing me
a lullaby every day to help me fall asleep.

Please sit back, Madam.

What is this, baby?

I thought no one else would book.

Hey, take away your bag.

-Hey!
-He's squishing me.

-Hello?
-Baby!

-Sorry, baby.
-Sir, what are you doing?

-There's not enough space.
-So?

So, adjust a bit.

-It's not fair. You have more space.
-There's a woman. You must adjust.

-Yeah, right.
-That's me.

Hello?

If you can't make it, let me know.
At least, we'll go back home.

Please wait right there.
I'll be there in half an hour.

It's been 45 minutes since we arrived.

Moreover, only now
have you answered my call.

What happened, Mom?
Is Dad not coming?

He is coming. But he will be late.

He will go past us,
but he can't pick us up.

-Annoying!
-Give me your phone, Mom.

As it is,
he's not answering my call properly.

You don't start now.

I'm not going to call him.
Just give me your phone.

Here you go!

-Why don't you move to the front?
-Oh, no!

Why don't you?

-Hey, she's my baby.
-Hey!

Only if I'm next to her
will she feel comfortable.

I'm also a baby.

Yes!

I got another ride booking.

One of you must get out of the cab.

Sir, stick to your baby with these antics.

Hey, not now, baby.

We booked a shared ride.

-Oh, God, no!
-What is this, baby?

I thought you were going to
take me comfortably in a car.

But I'm finding it hard even to breathe.

Had I known you were going to sit
on my lap, I would've bought a new car.

Shut up!

Is this a cab or a share auto?

Another booking?!

After dropping you all.

Thank God!

-Hey, Shanthi!
-Hello, the cab is not available.

-Cancel it.
-That's it, Madam!

Please understand.

No matter the emergency
the cab is not available.

Click on that.

Extra, as in? Will you pay 10 lakhs?

10 lakhs!

My husband has been driving nonstop
for days and nights without sleep.

Are they both together?

I have to book a ride even to meet him.

Moreover,
there are three idiots in the cab.

Hey, you can't be rude.
I'll lose my 5-star rating.

Let it be! That's what I want.

I want them to fire you.

What a wife!

Sir, sorry.

-No problem.
-Where are you all getting dropped?

If you stop, we'll get off here.

-Yes, we will.
-Yeah, okay.

Oh, God!

I got a call from Sharjah today.

Last week I dropped him off at the airport.

His Boss is coming down tomorrow.

If I chauffeur him around for a day....

...I'll get paid 5,000 rupees.

5,000?

Are you serious?

I'm already going to be
his chauffeur tomorrow.

If he likes my work...

He will speak to him when he returns
to Sharjah and offer me a job there.

If I work in Sharjah for two years...

Two years, you say?

Will you be able to
live without me and Balu?

It will be hard.
But it has to be done.

If I slog for two years...

then we can be happy
for the next 20 years.

"Naradhar,
how do you define a mother and father?"

"How do you define the world?"

Hello.

Did you pick up your client?

Is the fitting right for him?

It's fitting well!

Please don't miss his play.

He keeps asking for you.
Hey!

-Hang up the call.
-Sorry, sir.

-You're not supposed to be on call.
-Sorry, sir.

Show some respect, man.

Balu, where are you going?

Sit tight. You can't step out
after makeup is done.

Mom! Mom! Mom!

Hey, Balu!

-What is it?
-Where is Dad?

He'll be here shortly.

Are you sure he'll make it?

If Dad doesn't make it,
I won't speak my dialogue.

Hey, Balu!

This is the fruit of wisdom.

We must test
if our children are eligible to attain it.

Vinayaga! Velan!

Stand at your mark.

Among the two of you who go
around the world and arrive first...

They will be given the fruit of wisdom.

Fine, I'll venture out.

Balu, say your dialogue.

Speak!

Go around them.

Hey, go around them.

Look, Murugan has returned.

Hey, Murugan has returned.

Balu, you must go around them.
Come on!

Come on, go around them.

Come on!

Fast!

Balu.

Hey!

I made the money to buy some land.

If you're guys are okay,
we can go in the morning to buy the land.

Let's go!

Hereafter,
I won't drive for the taxi service.

This chapter is closed.

Hey, when I arrived abroad,
I came with a debt of 5 lakh rupees.

But now...

He has bought a land,
built a house, and settled in life.

So, are you debt-free now?

Now I have a debt 10 times
what I used to have.

But I have a steady job.

So eventually, it will take another
10-15 years to pay off the debt.

Do you plan to work here for so long?

Why? There's no harm in it.

Here you won't be nagged or troubled.

But back home, you'll be
treated with respect for one month.

After that, if you don't return abroad,
the people will start asking questions.

I'll let you in on another secret.

Even if you earn a lot back home...

They don't seem to respect
your daily presence.

They will find ways to fight with you.

Hey, Selvam, am I right?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Hey!

Dad, aren't you coming?

-Where?
-We're going to buy some land.

Hey, step aside.

Hey, what's happening?

But bear this in mind...

After today, until your Boss returns,
you're not supposed to touch that car.

I won't touch it!

Why would I?

Wait, let me get ready.
Hey, step aside.

How much is a quarter ground?
Will it be of that size?

-12 cars can be parked.
-12 cars? Wow!

-Dad, I want briyani.
-That's quite big.

-Dad, please buy me briyani.
-Hey, wait, son.

I'll buy you on our way back.

-Please, Dad.
-Come on.

-Greetings, Brother.
-Greetings! Please take a seat.

Please, sit, madam.

-Quarter or half a ground?
-Half a ground!

Listen, we agreed on quarter ground.

This is a half-ground of land.

Please take a look and choose one.

Mom!

Mom, make it quick.
They might run out of briyani.

Please wait, dear.

-I only have 25,000 with me.
-This one!

Sir, you'll get only
a quarter ground for 25,000.

We're buying half a ground.
Please give him the money.

-But it's just 25,000--
-Please give him yourself.

Okay, Madam.

Sir, you'll get only
a quarter ground for 25,000.

Patience!

Okay, okay, sir.

Whose money is this?

It's ours!

You're lying!

I'm lying, I did not steal or cheat anyone.

The money belongs to us.

Great! Full payment!

This one!

Hey, Shanthi, where are you going?

-You're hiding something and lying.-Oh, no, this lady is causing trouble.

-I don't like to be here.-Looks like I'm gonna lose the sale.

-Listen, I'm not hiding anything.-Hello!

-I took a loan at 5% interest.-Sir, I'm negotiating with the client.

Sir, one minute,
do you want to buy the land or not?

-I have another client waiting.
-Sir, I paid to buy it.

They've picked the same plot as you did.

I'll get back to you shortly.

-The client already made the payment.
-Hey, Shanthi.

-Shanthi, listen--
-Sir, sir, sir!

-Are you buying or not?
-I want it!

Mom, I want briyani.

Hey, briyani is not important now.

-Let's go!
-Let's register it, sir.

It's a corner plot.
It's hard to get.

Hey, Shanthi!

A silk saree is free
for buying half a ground of land.

They had only one in yellow colour.

As it's your favourite colour,
I fought and got one for you.

Shanthi!

Look at me. Please take it.

What happened?

Hey, why are you crying?
Here's your briyani.

-Dad!
-What is it?

You're a genius, Dad.

Only you consider me as one.

But your mother doesn't appreciate it.

Eat!

Balu, go home and eat the briyani.

They were offering only briyani to
those who bought a quarter ground.

Why does your mother
not like the silk saree?

She must check it out once she's home.

Only then will she understand
your intentions.

My dear, Balu!

Look!

Our nuptial chain is still pawned.
But you're harping on the silk saree.

Why? Isn't it wrong to pawn the
nuptial chain to buy a quarter ground?

Have you lost your mind?

You borrowed money for this month.

Next month, we will need to
pay an EMI of 15,000 with interest.

How are you going to do it?

If we don't repay the interest,
they'll skin us alive.

I will pay the interest.
You don't worry about it.

Please explain how you are going to pay?

I told you I will pay!

Lately, I'm scared
that you'd do anything for money.

What did I do wrong?

You keep talking nonsense.

Did I drag you all to the streets?

The amount of debt you're racking up
means we will eventually be on the streets.

Hey!

-Dad! Dad!
-Pissing me off!

Whatever I do is wrong in your eyes.

Get down.

I got a trip booking.
I have to pick up the client.

You guys take the bus.

Look, please hear me out
without getting angry.

We're taking out loans beyond our capacity.

It's you who desired it.

Then you put your desire in my mind
and turned me into a crazy person.

I'm doing it all for you and Balu.

Didn't you say that our son would
question me about what I did for him?

Now tell him! Tell him that
I bought half a ground of land for him.

Hello!

Like you wanted,
I will stop riding the taxi service.

I'll drive it for one more day, please.

I have lost faith in you
to keep your word anymore.

Do as you please!

Hey!

Dad! Dad!

Hey!

Balu!

I didn't expect you to drop the car
off at Sampath Sir's house so soon.

Please forgive me.

I spoke to you rudely yesterday.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I did not drop off the car
at Sampath sir's house.

Then?

Last night,
I was involved in a minor accident.

What? Accident, you say!

Did you get hurt?

I didn't get hurt. I'm doing fine.

Mom, is Dad going to drive again?

I don't know. And I'm clueless.
Let me check with him.

Tell me, Mom.
Is Dad going to drive again?

I don't know. Please wait.

However,
the front portion of the car is damaged.

I need to get it fixed.

How are you going to afford it?

Of course, another loan.

Another loan? How much?

1.5 Lakhs!

1.5 lakhs!

Oh, no! Who are you
going to take the loan from?

I don't have another option.

I told you a million times.

It started with 10,000,
and now see where it has got us.

Please forgive me, Shanthi.

Brother-in-law, please help me.

You still owe me 10,000 from before.

Now you're asking for 1 lakh rupees.
How do you plan to repay?

I will repay somehow.
Please trust me.

In case I can't repay...

I'll work for you for the rest of my life
and do whatever you ask of me.

Please help me.

-Brother.
-Yes, tell me.

Here's the 1 Lakh for the repairs.

Selvam, why aren't you meeting Sir
before you leave?

Is he home?

Sir!

Hi, Selvam. How are you?

I'm surviving, sir.

Sit down, Selvam.
I'll be back.

Okay, sir.

I arrived two days ago.

I was going to call you anyway.

By the time I fixed their roads,
my life turned upside down.

Sir...

We thought getting a treatment abroad
would save her life.

But it didn't happen.

She didn't make it.

Sir, didn't she say
it was just a headache?

I can't believe it.

It would take some time, Selvam.

Sir, please tell me it's all a lie.

Sir, Devi, Madam...

Selvam, please don't feel pity for us.

Please wait for two minutes.

Durga, dear.

I'm giving everyone a six-month break.

This is your 6 months' salary.

Please have this.
I'll call you if I need you.

No, sir. You can keep it yourself.

Selvam, if you don't take this,
you won't be able to meet me anymore.

Sir, you've done a lot for me.

Please keep it with you, sir.

What did Sampath sir say?

Did he yell at you?

What happened?

Did you tell him the truth?

I know that Madam would've supported you.

Hey! What happened?

Hey!

-Oh, no!
-Oh, God!

What happened?

Oh, no!

Please say something.

Selvam, sir.

Madam.

Brother, do you know anyone
named Selvam in this area?

Do you know any Selvam?

I don't know.

He's taking credit cards lightly.

Let me get a hold of him.

Is Selvam home?

No one by that name lives here.

Is it?

Selvam, you made me come to your house.

Remember you bought a piece of land...

Is everything well?

Hi, Brother-in-law.
Please come.

-What is this?
-Come home.

How is it going to help me?

What happened to the money?
And do you realize you're late?

There's no one here.

Dad, lately, Mom has been lying to people.

Will you pay the principal
or the interest?

Or are you going to
borrow from me again to pay the interest?

-Say something, Selvam.
-I'll repay!

If I believe you'd repay,
why would I come all the way here?

I will repay.

You've never kept your word in life.

I wonder why you even have a family.

Shameless!

I will repay.

Hey!

Say it out loud!

I must get my money back in one month.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Even siblings may not
come through during emergencies.

But a land you buy on the outskirts
will definitely come through.

So, immediately
buy a land on the outskirts.

Hold on, I'm getting a call.

Who is calling?

-Hello?
-Brother, this is Selvam speaking.

A few days ago,
you gave me a great suggestion.

-Did I?
-Yes!

What did I suggest?

If you own land, sell it to me.

If you don't, then buy it from me.

So, how can I help you now?

Right now I have a land, Brother.

Would you please buy it from me?

Fine, in which area?

It's in Kodeeshwaran Nagar,
past Gummidipoondi.

You're trying to sell the same land
you bought from me.

I bought it with the idea
of building a house.

But now I feel it's too out of the way...

Did you just say it's out of the way?

As if it were in the heart of the city
when you bought it.

At present,
you can't sell an outskirt land.

-Hang up.
-Brother! Brother!

Selvam, Brother!

Looks like you're planning to go abroad.

Your passport has arrived in mail.

Is it?

Please sign here.

Okay, bye.

Passport is here.

I'm not sure if I will be able
to drive for Sampath, sir, anymore.

So... Remember the client from Sharjah,
he offered me a job.

If I work as a driver for two years,
we can clear our debts.

Hey, Shanthi.

Listen, for now I'm just going there
to get a license.

I'll return if I fail the test.

Okay?

Hey!

Listen, I'm doing this for our welfare.

Hello, sir.

-Selvam.
-Thanks, sir.

Seems like the Boss is impressed with you.

He asked me to buy you a new phone.

Here you go!

What happened?

I don't want it, sir.

Hey, this is extra, dude.

Consider it as a bonus.

If I take this, I'll get used to it.

♪ Why did you abandon me? ♪

Along with your family?

Dude, you don't get it, do you?

You will realize it when you return home.

You see...

I don't understand.
There's nothing out here for us to return.

We're not returning just to make money.

You may think you have a family.

It's just an illusion.

Am I right, Selvam?

How long have you planned to be here?

No one plans ahead.

Once you make the return trip,
you belong here.

Oh-oh!

What do you mean?

Isn't there anyone who cares about you?

You don't call anyone,
nor does anyone call you.

What if he's a terrorist?

Paari! Hey!

Is this your son?

Let me see.

Hey, your son looks like you.

If he looks like his father,
it's not a problem.

But if he doesn't talk like his father,
then people would think he's a mute.

Give it back!

Brother, give it back.

Selvam!

-Greetings, Brother.
-Here you go.

Brother, one minute.

Yes, sir. I'm nearby.
I will be there shortly.

Here you go.

This is for the food, shelter,
and flight tickets you spent on me.

Please have it.

I made enough money to pay off debts.

I'm going back home.

Why don't you wait for an year?

The company will pay for your
flight tickets and send you home.

It's okay, brother.

Here's the car key.

The Boss likes your work.
Shall I request him to hike your salary?

No need, Brother.
I'm going back home.

Don't be in a hurry, Selvam.
Please hear me out.

Selvam, why are you not with the car?

It's getting late.
I have to go to the airport.

I'm heading to the airport, as well.

What?

What are you saying?
I don't understand.

-Sir! Sir!
-Akash?

-What does he want?
-Sir, I'll drop you. Please come.

Please, I'll drop you.

Have you gone mad?
He's holding your passport.

I don't care. I booked my tickets,
and I have to be at the airport.

-What's happening, guys?
-Sir, give me a moment.

-Make it fast!
-I'll drop you. Please give me a minute.

-What time is your flight?
-02:00 p.m.

Don't go anywhere. Be in your room.
I want to talk to you.

Don't go anywhere.

How long have you been planning?

Booking tickets doesn't mean
you can leave for India easily.

Answer me!

I want to return to India, sir.
I want to go back...

Why are you being stubborn?

I have been adjusting things to benefit you

and making the necessary arrangements.

I did promise to get you home after a year.

But you're rushing back with a case.

If I stay another year,
I will be sent home in a case, sir

What am I supposed to tell the Boss?

Sir, please do something.

First, you people come asking for work.

I'll make all the arrangements.

Later, you'll come crying to go back home.

I don't know what to say.

I had a hunch about this.

Run away from here.

Get out of here.

One second!

Please pass this on to my family.

Bye!

What should I say if your family asks
about your return plans?

They won't ask you.
I've already made the arrangements.

Tell them that in a year,
I'll move back to India.

Sir, will you definitely
move back to India?

Where are you going?

Are you going back home?

Yes!

-I think he's going back home.
-He'll return.

I cannot run a family over the phone
like you people do.

Sir, why didn't you negotiate the cab fare?

It's best not to negotiate
for a few things.

You might ask for
a couple of hundred bucks more.

I'm a driver like you.

I didn't speak for six months.

But now, every second...

Please drive a bit faster.

Here's your tip.

Sir!

What will you do with your tip?

I don't know, sir.

-Shall I suggest an idea?
-Sure, sir.

If you want to become rich,
then learn to live like a rich person.

Spend as you please.

If you're broke,
consider taking a loan and spending.

Awesome, sir!

I've been wanting to buy
a Bluetooth headphone for a while.

Also, my son wanted a PlayStation.

I want to buy that as well.

-Didn't your wife ask for anything?
-Of course, she did too.

They won't shy away from asking.

If someone like me
suggests an idea to you...

whack him and chase him away.

Please think for yourself, Bro.

Sir, could you please explain
in simpler terms?

Buying unnecessary things may cause you
to lose what truly matters in life.

TICKET

SHANTHI & SELVAM

Shanthi!

One minute.

Wait a moment.

Where's Balu?

Hey! Hey, Balu!

Won't you come to me?

Come on!

Dad, you're not a genius!

Hey, Paari, look, this is my city.

How do you like it?

It's great.

She's my wife, Shanthi.

-Greetings, sister.
-Greet him!

How are you?

Hey, you too, get back to India.

Dad!

Sure, brother.

Hey, who gave the gun?

Sampath, sir, bought it for me.

-Sampath sir?
-He was asking for you.

-Sampath, sir?
-Where's he?

Sir is here?

Sir!

How come you're here?

I'm here to surprise you
in Madam's style, Selvam.

-Would you like to have something?
-No!

Madam always surprises everyone.

Durga, dear.

I requested a one-year leave of absence
from Durga's school.

It was Devi's wish
that I travel with Durga.

She made a long list of things to do
and passed away.

-We're leaving.
-Where are you guys going?

-I don't know, Selvam.
-When will you be back?

No concrete plan yet.

It may take a few months
or even years.

-This is such a lovely place, Selvam.
-Sir!

Thanks, sir.

-Could you drop us to the station?
-Sir.

-Sure?
-Sir, of course!

-Let's go, sir.
-Sure!

Sir.

I want to tell you something.

I wanted to tell you earlier.

Please don't mistake me, sir.

Selvam, I know that you were driving
for a taxi service.

Sir?

They cross-checked the number plate,

and I confirmed it's my car and my driver.

Please forgive me, sir.

I think your situation was
holding you back from sharing this.

That's it! It's nothing, Selvam.

Sir, you're being wise and generous.

I made a mistake, sir.

Come on, Selvam.
Don't beat yourself.

Drop us to the station.

I should've taken the money
you offered me at the airport.

My son got hurt and we didn't have money.

And I was not able to reach you.

I was scared.

I, too, went through a tough time, Selvam.

Despite being affluent,
I was unable to save her.

I, too, made a big mistake, Selvam.

On that day at the airport...

Remember, Madam gave me a surprise
to come along with me.

Now I feel
I should've taken her along.

Caught up in the race of life,
we lose sight of its real purpose.

Selvam, life offers us countless
experiences that are truly priceless.

While chasing a livelihood, we often
let precious experiences slip away.

-Am I getting too philosophical?
-No, sir.

From today,
this car belongs to you, Selvam.

Oh, no, sir!

I definitely don't want it, sir.

This is not my wish, Selvam.

But it's Devi's last wish.

Madam!

The location is correct.
Please come forward.

Sir! Sir, let me drop you guys.

-No, no, Selvam. It's okay.
-Sir.

My new journey begins today
with this car.

Sir, I apologize for taking
random people in your car.

Selvam, I repeat,
you did nothing wrong.

It's my mistake
that I let you suffer so far.

That's what I think.

Sir, how can I be without you,
Madam, and Durga?

You'll get used to it, Selvam.

-Let me...
-No problem!

Here!

I don't have any sentiments
attached to this car.

But take care.

Let's go!

When will you come home?

Balu has been eagerly waiting for you.

Get home soon.

Sure!

He'll be home soon!

IF YOU RETURN, YOUR FIRST RIDE
WILL REWARD YOU WITH 5000 RUPEES.
