-THORAIPAKKAM-

-Ma'am? -Yes, tell me.

He said he would come and talk to my mother after finishing work, didn't he?

Yes.

But he never showed up.

He hasn't even picked up my calls for a week.

I'm very scared.

This is my life, ma'am.

He’s avoiding you even after everything I’ve said?

Don’t you worry.

I'm there for you.

Just watch what I do to him.

Hmm.

[siren goes off]

[song plays on speaker]

[knocks on door]

[door opens]

[song plays on speaker]

Harshitha ma'am...

[throws baton] You pathetic drunkard!

That’s not Harshitha, man, that’s Harichandra!

[pulls chair]

Give it to him already!

Were you in love with a girl named Avantika for four years?

I did.

Did you take her everywhere, parks, beaches, movies, malls, restaurants?

Yes, I did.

Hmm.

Did you take her to Ooty and book a room?

Yes, I did.

Did you tell her you'll talk to her mother about the marriage?

Yes, I did.

Then why the hell, instead of going to her mother's house in Thoraipakkam,

do you have a ticket booked for Dubai?

Sir!

-Lekha- -Women's Association Head-

Sir, he lured a girl into love, betrayed her,

and is now trying to flee from the country.

I thought you’d have him stripped down to his underwear and thrashed by now,

but here you are, royally questioning him in a chair.

Oh!

And a soda for his hangover, too?

Is this how you conduct an investigation, sir?

Why don't you sit down and interrogate him yourself then?

Don't talk without realizing the seriousness of this, sir!

Watching that girl cry in agony... even we couldn't bear to see it.

If that girl takes a fatal, wrong step tomorrow,

who is going to be responsible, sir?

She's asking you... give her an answer, damn it!

Hey!

Don't let him go! Ladies, surround him and lock him in right there!

Look, he’s running! He’s running! Catch him! Grab him!

No matter which country you flee to, I won’t let you go!

I swear I won't let you go today!

You owe that girl an answer.

Yeah, right. Let's finish this today!

Oh no! Save me, sir!

Please, sir. Just look at his audacity!

Where do you think you are? What do you think you’re doing?

Thank you, sir.

One hit, that’s all it’ll take to finish you.

Sir, don't file a case saying I cheated a girl.

If you want, file a case saying I beat these nuisances to death right here!

There are a thousand real issues to fight for in this country for women.

Let me go!

In Porur, a man raped and killed a seven-year-old child.

The court let him walk free.

Why didn't these people stand in front of the court

or the police station and ask why that dog was released?

Their only job is to poke their noses into useless matters

and stand in the way to cause trouble!

You have so much to say...

then tell us, what on earth was the problem with your love?

There was no problem in the love, sir...

'Love' itself was the problem!

Devotional song is playing..

Oh Lord...

[interview runs on TV]

"We've been doing this every year for years now."

"These days, I don’t see many Tamil families doing this anymore.

"Back in the day, during the temple festivals,

they used to sell these coin boxes in Mylapore."

"It will be made of sand."

"It will be a good feeling to see money fall out when breaking it."

"No one makes those coin boxes today."

Bless you, my child.

Oh, please! Keep your 'blessings' to yourself!

"If you're receiving a salary in any form, it's best to save at least 30% of it."

-Here is your lunch bag. -Okay, Dad.

So, listen... out of the money you handed over,

once I cleared the rent, the light bill, and the provisions...

-what’s left is... -Why are you explaining all these to me?

No, son... after all those expenses, there’s about 2000 and change left.

I just thought you might need it for yourself.

No, Dad. Kavitha mentioned she needed to buy some books.

Just give it to her.

Hey Raghu, Pushpa Grandma from D-block passed away.

Can you stop by and pay your respects on your way out?

I’ve got some work to finish up.

Oh, great!

Just what I need, to go look at a dead body on my way to the office.

That'll really make my day!

I have a very important meeting today,

I’m leaving now.

-Hey, eat and go... -Hey!

-Finish your food. -No, Dad. I'll eat at work.

-Here, at least take this with you. -Okay.

-Bye, Dad. -Take care.

-Bye, Mom! -Okay.

[interview continues on TV]

[door opens]

Where is the D-block?

Sir...

Sir!

Sir, when you see the girl you love for the very first time...

this is exactly how the background music should kick in, right?

Yeah, true.

But do you know how it actually sounded for me, sir?

How did it sound?

[death beat]

[clock strikes]

[death beat continues]

The music was telling me even back then, sir...

I was just too blind to understand it.

The very same funeral I told my mother I wouldn’t attend...

she’s standing right at my doorstep, asking for that same address.

The one decorated with flowers at the funeral

was that old lady who passed away, sir.

But the one who looked truly beautiful...

it was her.

Hey... Raghu?

You said you had an urgent meeting at the office,

what on earth are you doing here?

Dad... Grandma passed away.

That is exactly what your mother told you this morning.

She’s a poor soul, Dad.

Aside from us, who else does Grandma really have?

To her, we’re just 'someone else' as well.

Brother, can I have a word with you?

-Sit down. -You’re also just someone else to me.

Thank God!

Look at him... said he wouldn't go, and now look where he's sitting.

I don’t know why, sir... but it didn’t even feel like a funeral to me.

It felt more like all my relatives had gathered there

just to pick out a bride for me.

Hey, why are you just standing there?

Go serve the guests some coffee.

-She looks good, doesn't she? -Hope you're doing good, dear.

-Mom! -Huh?

I like this girl very much.

Hey!

What are you saying?

Oh we're still at the funeral?

Nothing seems normal.

Relax, I was just joking.

-Dear. -Yes?

Something’s wrong with him. Let's just get out of here.

Do you have a fever?

No... you seem fine.

Fine. I guess he won't be leaving for that 'meeting' until the burial is over.

Everyone’s here now. Let's get the procession started.

Oh God!

Wait... if they take the body now, she's going to leave too.

I'll keep dancing! I'll just keep dancing!

Nobody goes near the body until I’m done dancing!

You all hear me?

-Hey, look! It's Michael Jackson. -Hey!

Aren't you supposed to be at the office? What are you doing here?

I can't just leave her and go.

Hey, Gopal! Wake up!

Everyone’s gone!

Look at him, still searching for her.

Huh? Where is everyone?

Let's get out of here!

You idiots!

-So, what happened to Grandma in the end? -What else could we do, sir?

After the mess we made, everyone just left.

But we couldn't just leave Grandma there, right?

We spent our own cash and made sure everything was done right.

I swear, sir, every cent came out of our own pockets!

I didn't know who she was, where she came from, or even her name, sir.

But somehow, I tracked her down and actually got her to fall for me.

Our very first date.

I went to the spot she picked and just stood there, waiting for her.

Wait, hold on!

First time you saw her, the funeral horns were literally blowing.

Then she served you coffee.

How are you already talking about dating?

When did you even propose?

How did you actually get her to fall for you?

Sir, the story isn't about how I made her fall in love with me.

The story is about the problems that followed.

Man, can't you just tell the story in order?

You're jumping all over the place!

Look, this isn't some bedtime story for kids,

and I’m definitely no Rajamouli to give you a perfectly directed screenplay.

Honestly, I’m just a chaotic mess, sir.

Just listen to it in my order.

Hi.

Hi.

-Shall we go? -Where?

Starbucks?

-Hmm, let's go. -Hmm.

Auto!

Why are you calling for an auto now?

Oh, is it nearby? Let's walk then!

Isn't this your bike?

No... this isn't my bike.

Then where is your bike?

I don't actually have a bike.

Then how do you get to work?

The office cab picks me up.

If I need to go somewhere nearby, I usually take my Dad’s moped.

But I couldn't exactly pick you up on a moped, right?

That’s why I called an auto.

Me? In an auto? Not happening. Get lost!

Okay, fine, no auto! I’ll book a cab right away. Just don't be mad.

It’s our first time out together,

and you didn't even think about how we were going to travel?

Wait! One second, just hear me out! Hey! Don't go!

Fine, no cab! How about the Metro?

Why stop there?

Why don't you just put her on an elephant and take her for a royal ride?

Forget her, I wouldn't even come.

What made you think she’d be okay with an auto?

First things first, go buy a bike!

[tattoo needle buzzing]

So, a bike is okay for you?

No. I prefer cars!

Huh?! Why don't you just ask for an airplane while you're at it?

Look, wanting to buy a bike isn't a mistake.

But... thinking you can just buy it on EMI?

That feels like a mistake.

Just a second.

[interview on TV]

Hey, Raghu.

-What is it, Mom? -Here.

-Take this. -What is this?

It’s alright, I heard it all. Keep the money.

I think your Dad went inside just to get some money for you.

If he gives it, don't say no. Take it!

Kavitha dear... add a little sugar to the sambar, will you?

[interview continues on TV]

Did your Mom give you any money?

No, Dad.

I know! Come on, just show it to me!

Here. This is my share.

Look, it's fine to save up money to buy something.

But you should never buy something only to end up drowning in debt.

And... I’ve told you this since you were a kid...

people like us need to find big happiness in small things.

What can we do?

We’re middle class, after all.

-Go ahead... buy the bike you like. -Okay, Dad.

But make sure you pick a colour that everyone will actually like!

Sir, this bike comes in three colours.

Red, black and blue.

The blue one is priced at...

Dude! If you ride into the area on this thing,

the whole neighbourhood is going to go nuts!

This isn't the one I came for, man.

The one I’m buying... is right over here.

Hey?! That’s a bike for girls to ride!

This is the bike for taking girls on a ride.

Listen to me, buy this one!

Hey, she just told me to get a bike.

If I buy it in her favourite colour, problem solved!

Just do whatever, man!

This guy is trying to hype me up without even knowing my budget.

Hello.

Yes, what's up?

Hey, I’m at the showroom to buy a bike.

Tell me what colour you like.

That's great news!

But wait, which bike are you getting?

Just tell me the colour you like.

First, tell me which bike!

Yamaha Ray.

Come again.

Yamaha Ray.

They say it gives really good mileage.

What? You mean that bike family guys use to carry water cans? That one?

Hey, what’s wrong with this bike?

If you're going to buy that bike,

I’d rather just take a cab to the office for the rest of my life.

Buy a sports bike or just forget about the whole thing!

Hey! Hey!

What? Did she call it a water-can bike?

Hey... how did you know?!

I know everything, man.

Sir!

He has 1 lakh in hand and earns 40,000 rupees a month.

Can we work out a deal for the bike with that down payment?

I went there to pay in full,

but she made me to use that money as a down payment

and locked me into a 6,800 rupee EMI!

And the real tragedy is...

The 1-lakh bike gives 50km mileage,

but this 3-lakh beast barely hits 30!

It feels like a manufacturing defect, sir.

I spend my whole day picking her up,

dropping her off at her workplace,

racing to my workplace and finish my work on time,

and race back to her place

and by the time I pick her up and drop again,

the fuel cost and maintenance cost sky rockets.

Honestly,

even a Swiggy or Zomato rider

wouldn't have clocked this many kilometres to support a family!

I’ve driven more for her than they do for a living.

Tell me, sir... why did I even buy this bike?

Oh my, oh my, oh my...

you say you clocked all those kilometres, but was it just for the ride?

Think about, how many potholes, how many bumps,

and how many speed breakers did you hit?

How many red lights did you 'conveniently' stop at?

And tell me the truth, how many sharp turns did you take

just to make her hold on tighter? Huh?

Oh, please! How many sudden brakes did you hit

just to bring her from the back seat to the front?

You're acting like you suffered so much!

Hmm... she's right.

Do you guys ever actually ride straight?

You’re always at an angle!

Sir, do you have any idea how she actually sits behind me on that bike?

Why did I even buy this bike for someone who leaves so much gap between us?

I’ve been picking her up and dropping her off for three months,

and sometimes I even doubt

if she’s actually sitting on my bike

or if she’s hitched a ride with someone else behind me!

Nobody understood my pain, sir...

except for one dog.

Huh?!

No...

Well, whatever happened, you got what you wanted in the end.

Maybe... but something I didn't expect happened too, sir.

Huh?!

[movie running in theatre]

Everyone was watching the movie,

but I was just staring at her.

I don't know why, sir...

but someone else was staring at me.

[phone rings]

-Tell me, dude. -What's up, dude?

First time going to a movie with her... I bet the sparks are flying, huh?

Nothing happened, man.

She's just locked into the movie.

That’s how girls are!

It’s up to us to do something and make the 'move' to win them over.

That's all fine, dude.

But the guy in the next seat... he wouldn't take his eyes off me.

Why would he even look at you when you aren't doing anything?

Don't worry, man.

He’ll get annoyed and turn away in a bit.

Dude, dude! I think he finally got annoyed.

He turned away!

Make your move!

[lights come on]

Hey!

Come, let's go to the canteen.

Brother... you can't see?

Were you sitting turned like that just to hear the dialogue?

What an idiot I've been!

Man, I wasted the whole first half being terrified for no reason!

Is he actually going to eat all of that, or is he planning to sell it inside?

-Hey, Raghu, pay the bill and come. -Okay.

My girl's easy. Just one coffee, that's it.

So, what’s the damage? How much for the coffee?

-3,600 rupees. -3,600 rupees?!

3,600 rupees for a cold coffee?!

No, sir... she ordered everything straight to her seat!

Enjoy your cinema, sir.

Hmm...

[payment notification]

You enjoy.

They manage to make a whole movie on a planned budget, sir.

But we can't even watch the movie within our planned budget!

Sir!

Did you see that, sir?

Sir, he didn't go to that theatre with that girl to watch a movie at all.

As if she came to the theatre to watch the movie!

Hey, if you're blowing 4,000 rupees on a single movie outing,

how did you get by on a 40,000 salary?

Look at you, buddy, getting credit cards.

-Didn't you say you'd never take a loan? -What can I do?

Commitments have piled up.

Is Avantika making you empty your pockets?

When do girls ever let a guy keep money in his pocket?

Oh boy!

You people make our wallets weak before the weekend even ends.

Hey, why are you whining for just this?

My guy has already maxed out four cards!

I can't afford that kind of luxury.

You're not just spending money, man... it's all an investment!

After marriage, you're going to collect it all back from your father-in-law anyway.

As if you guys are going to generously hand it over.

Give me the card.

Hmm, as if you guys would ever let us skip paying.

Look how sharp he is already!

Raghu...

Why did both come at once?

Well, look who's here! What brings you to my office, Avantika?

The servers are down at my office. Come on, let's go out!

Hey! The manufacturing unit at my office is actually up and running.

Oh come on... just apply for permission and come out!

Where are we going?

Window shopping!

-Raghu, how does it look? -Huh.

Well then, come pay the bill.

I guess the window shopping was only for me.

56,000 rupees?!

Why is it so expensive, sir?

Sir, all are new collections and imported items.

What? Since when is this scrap metal considered 'imported'?

Please... everyone's watching us.

Just pay for it and come.

Dude, buy me some momos.

-This momo? -This looks good, right?

-Yes. -Can I get this for 100 rupees?

-When it's for her, you spend money. -No way.

-But when it's me, you just make me spend! -It's 150 rupees final.

-Are you trying to cheat me? -It's good, man.

-It'll be good for you. -I'll give you only 100 rupees.

-I won't give anything more. -Wait, wait, wait.

Is he going to ask something else?

I've heard this voice somewhere.

I'm not buying you any 'voice'.

-Look at the board. -You can only use it once.

-Listen madam, the sign says 150 rupees. -Make it 100 rupees, brother.

Brother, 100 rupees final.

-150, fixed price. Read the board. -Oh no! 150 for this?

-150 rupees? -Yes, madam.

-Take 100 rupees, or keep it yourself! -100 rupees? No way.

Move along. Put it back and move along.

He's blatantly trying to rip me off for 50 rupees!

-Flat 150 rupees for any item! -Hey!

Even if it's 50,000 rupees of my money, she just throws it away?

But if it's 50 rupees of her money, she talks this much?

Dude, if it's the guys' money, it's high-end shopping at City Centre.

But if it's the girls' money, it's bargaining in the centre of the city!

Let's go see what's happening.

150 rupees! Pick anything at just 150 rupees!

-Tell me, boss! -Brother...

What's the problem, brother?

She's just a cheap chick, boss.

Wearing jeans and acting elite,

but haggling over 50 rupees for half an hour!

Spend 1,000 rupees, and you can easily score her, boss.

Why the hell did you slap me?!

What do you mean 'why'?!

Do you have any idea how many lakhs he spent just to win her over?

And you casually say 1,000 rupees is enough?

Take that!

Guys, he hit me! Smash him!

He might be your enemy, but who attacks someone there?!

-Sorry, brother! Sorry, brother! -Let me down!

Hey! Why are you playing piggyback on me?!

They're playing piggyback on me.

Hey, spin him, spin him! He's gonna black out!

Hey, put me down! I’m diabetic!

He's completely knocked out, throw him away!

I'm feeling a little dizzy too.

Dude, he thinks we're just some 'Soup Boys'

let's show him we're the actual 'Manjummel Boys'!

-Dude, loosen the rope a little! -Done!

Hey! What are you doing?

He was picking nits!

She only asked for a 50-rupee discount, but this guy totally wiped the shop clean!

Seriously, sir, you tell me...

who did we just fight for, and why?!

I have no idea.

Are you hitting him because you spent so much

and still couldn't make things work with her?

Or are you hitting him because that shopkeeper talked trash about her?

Even I'm totally confused.

Sir, I only beat him up because he talked trash about my girl.

But sir, do you know what she told me after all that chaos?

-What did she say? -Hey, don't you have any sense?

Hanging out with trash and fighting just like them!

Man, that's brutal! She's calling someone trash.

Hey, she's talking about you!

Hey! Who you calling trash?

You, you idiot! Trash! Trash! Trash!

Look, his face might look like trash, but he's actually a really good guy.

-Man, she was actually nicer! -Avantika! Hey... honey?

I'm just heading to my office. Come over there and collect the cash.

Okay, sir. I'll see another client and head straight to your office.

Please keep the cash ready.

-Dad! -Huh?

Why are you cleaning the bike, Dad?

So what? It's our bike anyway.

Okay, Dad, I'm off to work now.

-I'm running late. -And...

you asked me to remind you about Kavitha's semester fees.

Oh no! I completely forgot!

I don't have any cash right now.

I only have enough money to pay off my credit card.

Raghu?

You have a credit card?

No... no, Dad!

A friend told me he was short on his credit card bill, so...

Huh.

You give this to Kavitha, Dad. I'll manage somehow.

-Bye, Dad! -Alright.

Son, tell your friend this...

He borrowed from you today to pay his credit card bill.

Tomorrow, he’ll borrow from someone else just to pay you back.

Debt is like cancer.

It only keeps growing, it won't disappear that easily.

-Tell him that. -Huh... okay, Dad.

-Don't forget. -I will surely tell him, Dad.

Alright, get going.

Ride safely.

Sir, a bank collection agent is here to see you.

-Please tell him I'm on leave! -Okay, sir.

[phone rings]

-Hello. -Why is your phone switched off?

Hey, I'm already facing a heavy "raid" at work!

Office raid? Or are you out on an ECR "ride" with someone?

Hey! Who calls an office landline to ask questions like this?!

You have no idea the kind of pressure I'm dealing with here right now!

Why? Do you think we don't deal with stress at my workplace?

What, do you think we're just sitting here swinging our legs and enjoying ourselves?

You practically begged for my number back then.

-Now that you have it... -Raghu!

...you just cut my calls?

Sir, I'm just on the line with a client.

Then who exactly is this?

Because your line was busy, the client called me directly!

Sir, just two minutes. I will call you back.

Do you have any intention of working or not?

Why did I even hire someone like you...

Hey, I'll call from my mobile. Hang up now!

Hey, tell me.

You promised to take me out this evening, right?

Look, give me a second. Let me call you right back.

Why is your phone switched off, sir?

No, sir... there was a meeting inside, that's why...

Then why are you sitting right here and lying that you're not in?

[phone rings]

What is it now?

Hey, you still haven't told me where you're taking me.

I'll take you wherever you want to go! Just hang up now!

Sir! Just take out the money first!

Honestly sir, I had it all set aside for you.

It's just that on the way...

Oh, let me guess... on your way here,

you saw some orphans and generously gave it all away?

Sir, you are crossing the line.

Me, crossing the line?

Look at you spinning tales!

Didn't you think of this when you were swiping that card left and right?

Why do people like you even take out loans, sir?

[phone rings]

When are you coming to pick me up?

The things I want to do to her right now...

Hey! When are you finally going to start working?

Sir, when are you finally going to pay me?

When are you coming to pick me up?

Hey! When are you finally going to start working?

When are you coming to pick me up?

Sir, when are you finally going to pay me?

When are you coming to pick me up?

Hey! When are you finally going to start working?

When are you coming to pick me up?

It's always like this, sir.

Without even understanding the situation I'm in,

she'll just keep nagging and driving me crazy.

Look sir, for everything that went wrong so far, it was either my fault or hers.

But everything that went down after that?

-That's entirely on Ranbir Kapoor. -Huh?!

What on earth did Ranbir Kapoor do in your story?

Not in my story, sir.

In his story.

She and I had gone to watch the movie Animal.

Look at this guy... using brand new techniques!

Hey, brother!

Why are you kissing the phone?

Look, it’s far better to do this than to just sit idle next to a beautiful girl.

Just shut up and watch the movie!

Who was that?

He’s just some random guy who actually came to watch the movie, dear.

When everyone else is having biryani, won't I crave it too, sir?

Hmm... I suppose so.

I saw my biryani right in front of me.

Sir, just as I was about to taste my biryani...

-Hey... -I knew it!

I got suspicious the moment you booked an entire row online.

But when you started grinning during a serious scene,

I knew you were up to something.

-Avantika, it's nothing like that! -Shut up! Don't talk to me.

Seriously, who tries for a first kiss in public?

Don't you need the right time and place?

-Get lost! He must be his fan, for sure! -Hey...

[phone rings]

Hello.

I had biryani today, dude.

Like I said sir, the whole town was eating biryani.

Turns out, Tattoo had also eaten biryani that day!

-What? -Hmm.

Seriously, did you really eat biryani, or are you just messing with me?

I swear on this beer, man! I had biryani.

Here, have a drink!

Super, dude. At least you were lucky enough to get some biryani.

[notification sound]

Finally! My personal loan got approved, dude.

Only the office verification is left.

Once this amount hits my account, all my problems will be solved!

I’ll clear this credit card bill, the bike loan,

all those petty office debts, and finally be free!

Hey, you aren't saying a word about the money I got you for interest!

-I'm including that amount too, man! -Oh, perfect then!

-Cheers, dude! -Cheers!

[phone rings]

No matter how happiness comes my way, she just can't stand it, dude.

Give me a minute. She can sniff things out right over the phone!

Do me a favour and just go.

[phone ring continues]

-Tell me. -Raghu...

My mom's not home.

She's gone to Bangalore.

I’m all alone... Do you want to come over?

"Seriously, who tries for a first kiss in public?"

"Don't you need the right time and place?"

I'm on my way right now!

-Hey, hey, hey! -Huh?

On your way... maybe pick up some...

-something for safety... -Huh!

I will get it.

You didn't misunderstand me, did you... asking you over when my mom's away?

No, no. What’s wrong with that?

-This is my first time. -For me too... it's my first time.

-What is it? Are you hungry? -Huh...

Don't be hasty. That's exactly why I'm going.

-Oh, is it really for that? -Exactly for that.

Raghuvara...

I went there to eat biryani.

Instead, the aroma of rasam hit me. Confused, I got up to check it out...

-Hey! -Huh?

What are you doing?

I’m making rasam.

Why on earth are you making rasam right now?!

But you said you were hungry.

Hey, I meant a different kind of hunger. Not this!

I came all this way for biryani. And you...

You don't do that to the girl you love.

Listen to me.

-I won't listen. -Don't come near me.

I will come.

-Don't come any closer... -Too late. I'm already here.

Hey, hey, hey!

What on earth are you doing in the dark?

If you stay here any longer,

I can't guarantee my modesty. You need to leave right now.

-Please, Avi. -No, no. Get away!

Why on earth did you buy this?

Didn't you tell me to buy some safety stuff?

I told you to buy snacks for safety!

But you brought this so you could eat me like a snack!

-Gross! -Who are you calling gross?!

You're the one who told me to come over when your mom wasn't home!

You're the one who randomly put on a saree and looked stunning!

You're the one who told me it was your first time!

You're the one who whispered in a husky voice, "That's exactly why I'm going"!

And then you call me gross?

Yes, you are! You are gross, gross, gross!

Why? Does wearing a saree mean I'm only doing it to look hot?

The fault is in your eyes, so stop blaming me!

Fine, then why did you invite me over when nobody was home?

We fought at the theatre,

so I wanted to invite you over, talk it out, and make up.

But you totally misjudged me, didn't you?

Do you know how memorable a first kiss is supposed to be?

It's such a special feeling.

It’s supposed to happen naturally... unplanned.

But you... you went ahead and planned the whole thing out, didn't you?

Do you have any idea how much that hurts me?

Hey, I'm really sorry. I just wasn't thinking straight.

Just go! You don't understand me at all.

-I'm not that kind of girl, Raghu. -Oh god... I'm the one who messed up.

I’m standing here crying my eyes out, and you're still thinking about that?

-Get out! -Hey...

Hey... what are you doing here?

When you ditched our beer plans to go eat biryani,

I knew right then you wouldn't even score a plate of plain rice!

Seriously? You didn't eat at all?

The whole apartment has gone to sleep after the function.

Forget about it, dude. Let's have some beer!

-Come on guys! Pack up, fast! -Hey!

How the hell can we drink out here in the open?

Dude, the catering boys are our boys.

Just drink up! Hmm!

Why did you ask me to come over so urgently?

I don't care what you have to do, we need to get married right now!

Hey?!

Wait, why are you in such a hurry for our wedding all of a sudden?

Hey, why are you shoving this into my hand?

Everyone is watching us!

I don't care about them watching!

My mom already saw it!

She found it in the house and handed it to me.

You're the one who left it behind!

Now my mom knows you came over!

But nothing happened!

You and I both know that.

But does she?

She jumped straight to conclusions and completely humiliated me!

She needs to realize her perspective is entirely wrong.

And for that to happen... our marriage has to happen!

Wait, what?! Are you out of your mind?

Look, I have a sister who needs to get married first.

I can't just drop everything and get married on a whim!

How on earth do I make her understand?

Come with me for a minute.

Sit down.

Please try to understand what I'm saying.

Even if I run away and get married,

my parents will still get to enjoy watching my sister's wedding.

But you're an only child to your mom.

Wouldn't she dream of seeing your wedding happen beautifully?

Fine... but all of that mattered before she saw this trash.

My mom has already judged my character.

So I have to prove to her that this is love, not lust!

Now, are you going to marry me...

or should I just drink this poison?

Hey!

-Let go! No... let me... -Hey, stop it! Hey!

You tell me, sir!

If the girl you love stands right in the middle of a busy office,

in front of everyone,

holding poison and screaming, "Marry me right now or I'll kill myself!"

What is a guy even supposed to do, sir?

What did you do?

Sir.

Look, if you want to marry a girl...

you either take her to a temple,

or you take her to the marriage registrar's office.

Why did this guy take her all the way to Ooty?

Exactly! Who asked you to take her all the way to Ooty?

Ask him, sir!

That’s exactly what I asked her too, sir!

Everyone in my family got married at our family deity's temple.

My mom always dreamed that my wedding would happen there, too.

For that, you're supposed to go to the family temple!

Why on earth did you bring me to Chennai Silks?!

Well, yeah! Are we supposed to just get married like this?

Don't we need to buy the bridal saree, the sacred thread, and the accessories?

Come on, let's go shopping!

Sir, I swear to you,

even if this wedding was happening with the full consent of both our families,

I don't know if they would have shopped this much.

She’s literally running away with me,

why the hell is she picking out a 'Samudhrika' silk saree for 1 lakhs?

-Huh?! -Unbelievable!

Raghu, I like this one.

How much is this saree?

Hello.

Dude, send me 1 lakh urgently.

Okay.

-Bro. -Hmm?

That 2-lakh finance amount the boss just approved...

transfer 1 lakh of it to the number I give you.

Okay.

Okay.

Tell me, dude.

Dude... please send 60,000 rupees.

Alright.

Dude, she just walked into the parlour!

Bro, out of that remaining 40,000, just send 20,000 over.

Done.

-Dude, can I tell you something? -Go ahead.

Look, a pilot should always fly the plane,

the plane shouldn't control the pilot.

Otherwise, you'll miss the landing. Be careful.

There’s drama at her home, her mom's not agreeing,

and asked me to marry her without breaking up...

So she’s the pilot of my flight, dude.

My flight will never crash-land.

-Can I tell you something? -What?

Cut the crap advice and just GPay me the money right now!

Get lost!

Sir, by the time we bought the saree, the sacred thread, and all the accessories

and finally made it to the temple...

they had already shut the gates and closed it down!

With literally zero options left...

we just took a room at a cottage for the night, sir.

Do you know why I brought you all the way to Ooty?

Yeah... to get married at your family temple.

There is no family temple in Ooty.

You've got to be kidding me!

Then why the hell did we come all the way to Ooty?!

No, when me and my friends all hit puberty,

we signed an "Angel Agreement."

Wait, I don't get it.

In life, first kiss, first romance should happen

in a hill station and on a full moon day.

But you had to go and ruin it...

by rushing into our first kiss back at the house itself.

Which is why we're in Ooty!

So our first romance can happen exactly the way I dreamed.

Hmm... your planning is great and all.

But if we’d just gotten married instead of shopping right away,

we’d be having our first night by now.

We could always just get married after the first night!

It's so easy to figure out what guys are thinking, no matter what.

But women? You can never tell what’s going on in their heads or when!

We'll figure it all out later.

For now... can we just cuddle?

Huh! Absolutely.

[phone vibrating]

[phone vibrating continues]

Brother, where are you?!

The police came to the house.

They said all sorts of things and took Mom and Dad to the station.

I'm very scared!

Ma'am, on what grounds are you detaining my parents at the station like this?!

A girl has gone missing, and her parents have filed a complaint.

What else do you expect me to do?

If the complaint is against me, take action against me!

Why are you dragging my parents to the station and humiliating them?!

You should have thought about all this before kidnapping the girl!

Nobody kidnapped me, ma'am!

We left on our own to get married.

[slaps]

If you really wanted to marry her,

you should have come to me first and asked me to get you two married!

At least, you should have come with your family to formally ask for her hand!

What exactly did you head to Ooty and book a room for, huh?!

Madam, please... I just need to speak to my daughter alone for ten minutes.

Ma'am, I don't want to talk to her.

Hey! She gave birth to you, raised you, educated you, and sent you to work...

and you just run off with some guy you like.

She's only asking for ten minutes of your time.

Is it really that hard for you to talk to her?!

Go. Just go talk to her, go!

Come on.

One minute.

Instead of you two talking in private to tear them apart,

why don't the two of us talk and unite them?

Please! Who would ever marry their daughter off to a guy like your son?

What’s wrong with my son?!

He’s good-looking, he studied engineering,

and he works at a good company making 40,000 rupees a month!

He'll take good care of her.

Yeah, right!

Your son can't even pay off his debts, he's just running around hiding!

Who are you calling a debtor?!

My son doesn't owe a single dime to anyone!

Oh yeah? Let's hear your son say that to my face.

Your son borrows money from everyone in town and just blows it all!

Did your whole family sit down and plan this?

To find a rich girl, make him fall in love, and live off her money?!

Look here, don't talk without knowing the truth!

Oh, what truth? What is there to know?!

You wanted the truth? Here it is!

I've made sure to inquire about everything before coming here.

You think your son is living on a 40,000-rupee salary?

He rides a three-lakh bike,

eats lavish lunches at five-star hotels,

and only shops at the mall!

Why do all that?

Just to fake being rich and trick my daughter into loving him!

Why are you talking like this?

Shut up for a minute, will you?

Would you give your daughter to someone who runs around wasting money like this?

Maybe you would give, but I never will.

Come!

Listen!

Whatever that girl decides when she comes out,

that’s final.

I don't want anyone screaming and shouting in my station.

Talk.

I made a mistake, ma'am. I'm going back home with my mother.

You can take her home, madam.

Come, let's go.

Get ready! The temple will close soon.

Dad...

Mom...

I'm off to work.

-Disgusting! -Mom?

-Mom! -Hey!

Stop! Pull over! Hey, auto, stop!

-Here, brother. -Careful!

-Get moving, I'll follow. -Hurry please!

Hey! Are you blind?!

Why the hell are you blocking the road?

Hey! Get your hands off my keys!

You piece of...

Dad... Dad?!

Dad!

Hey... hey, son!

Stop it! Just listen to me!

Hey!

Hey! Let him go! Hey...

Hey, get lost!

Hey!

Hey!

-Why are you taking our bike?! -Take your hands off me!

You haven't paid the bike EMI in six months!

What do you expect us to do?

Look, your son hasn't paid the EMI in six months.

Give me three months' payment now, and I'll leave the vehicle with you.

I don't have that much money.

You can't even afford that? Then why do you people even need a bike?

You two can just walk.

The bike's secured! Come on, let's move.

Just get lost...

Hey, where is mom?

Mom and dad are in the second ward.

They said it was just a dizzy spell.

The doctor said it's nothing to worry about. It’s nothing serious.

Aren't you getting late for office?

Didn't you say you had a project to submit today?

Pick up the phone!

Did he answer?

He's not picking up!

You go ahead and submit it. I’ll handle things here.

Keep this.

Hmm.

-Take care of mom. -Okay, brother.

-Hello. -Hey, where are you?

I'm on my way.

The clients are already here waiting. Just grab the files and get over here!

-Raghu... -Let go of me!

I understand your anger.

If I hadn't gone with my mother yesterday, do you know what could have happened?

I don't care what happens! I don't give a damn!

I'm late for work, let me through!

She said, "If you don't come with me right now, I'll hang myself."

I had no choice but to go with her.

Huh! What a noble, dignified family! You'll hang yourselves? My foot!

If she cared so much about honour,

she should've hanged herself the day you ran away!

Or better yet, when she found condoms in the house...

she should've done it then.

Instead, she will file a kidnapping complaint

and drag our names through the mud before she dies?

Raghu, please, just hear me out before you lose your temper.

My mom's anger has subsided a little now.

If you come and talk to her now, she’ll agree.

The moment you rejected me at the police station,

I threw you and your love away.

I don't have time to argue with you.

I have a ton of work at the office, so please get out of my way!

So your office and your work are more important to you than me?

Yes!

My work is far more important to me than you are.

-But you are important to me! -Hey! Hands off! Just let me go!

Just come to my house and talk!

-She'll accept us if you talk to her! -Why should I talk with your mom?

Hey!

Come talk to my mom right now,

or I swear I'll kill myself!

In today's society, there is simply no protection left for women.

-Why bother killing yourself? -Violence against women,

-I’ll kill you myself. -should not be accepted.

We are witnessing a devastating rise in violence against women.

Leave me, Raghu.

Huh?! Hey!

In broad daylight, in the middle of the street...

has patriarchy really given you unlimited power that you can just kill a girl?!?

Ma 'am, you don't know anything.

You won't understand even if I tell you.

Please don't interfere in this.

Listen, young man.

I am the head of this Women’s Association

precisely to step in whenever a girl is in trouble!

What is the problem?

Who is he?

My lover, ma'am.

Hey!

If you even say the word 'lover', I will kill you!

Hey!

Ma’am, I have an important meeting at the office.

I don’t have time to argue with you or her right now. I’m leaving.

Hey!

I'm late for work, ma'am.

Go to the office, or go all the way to America for all I care,

but give this girl an answer before you leave!

-Ma'am, he doesn't need to answer me. -Then what?

Tell him to come and talk to my mother. That is enough.

Did you hear what she said?

Go meet that girl's mother in person, speak with her,

and only then can you go to your office. Understood?

Ma'am, please!

Please try to understand my situation.

I have an important meeting at the office.

I'll go and speak with her mother this evening right after it's over.

Is that enough?

I swear I'll go and talk, ma'am.

If you haven't gone and spoken to that girl's mother by this evening...

Even I don't know what I will do to you. I warn you!

Do you understand?

-Tell them to let me through. -Hmm, hmm... go!

If he doesn't show up, call me.

Okay, ma'am.

-You cannot go inside. -Why?

Because you've been fired.

They've ordered us to bar your entry if you turn up.

Hey!

I have slaved away for this company for five whole years!

The least you could have done was call me inside to fire me!

Are you really going to humiliate me at the gates and throw me out?!

I've been ordered to collect your laptop bag before you leave.

Take this.

Sir, you have someone waiting for you.

-Are you Raghuvaran? -Hmm... yes.

Sir, I'm here from the bank for your personal loan verification.

What's happening here?

Dad told us to pack up and head back to our hometown, brother.

You have to talk to him.

-Did you load everything? -Almost done, sir.

Dad, why are we all moving back to our hometown right now?

Not 'we.' It's just the three of us, we are going.

Yesterday, you humiliated us inside the police station.

And today... you publicly disgraced us right in the middle of the street!

In the past, whenever someone looked at me and smiled,

it felt like genuine respect.

But now, if someone laughs at me...

When you see someone in your town smiling at you,

and all you feel is fear or overwhelming shame...

then you must know you don't belong in that place anymore.

Which is why we are leaving.

Mom, at least you tell Dad...

Tell him what?

We have a girl old enough to get married at home,

and you took on debt to spend money on someone else?

That was the day I lost all faith in you.

If the people who cornered you on the street today

when both of you are not at home,

storm into our home tomorrow to question me and your sister,

I will die of shame right then and there!

Get away from me!

Here, take this. Keep it.

Dad...

What is this?

It’s the property deed to our house in the village.

Sell all of this, clear your debts,

-and go live the life you want. -Dad, please...

-The car is here. Let's go. -Dad, please...

Dad... I swear I will fix everything.

You might fix what is yet to come.

But what about everything you've already destroyed?

Mom, at least you tell Dad...

[phone rings]

Hello.

You promised you'd come and meet my mom...

When are you coming?

To hell with you...

Why are you standing there like you've seen a ghost?

Give it to me.

Hey!

The moment a girl sheds a single tear,

you automatically decide the guy is guilty.

He didn't do a single thing wrong,

yet you've dragged him and put him on trial here!

Sir, that girl didn't tell a straight forward story like this boy claims.

Who? This guy?

He gave you a straight forward story, and you heard it?

Where is that girl?

Look, here she comes.

How do you know?!

It's coming!

The smell's coming!

The smell of the 8,000 rupees perfume I bought her is coming, sir!

What have you done, ma'am?

I did what you asked for.

What did I say?

I told you to stop him from leaving the country!

Why the hell have you brought him here?

Sir, I’m the victim here and I haven't even filed a complaint yet.

How can you take action based on what they filed?

I will complain against you, sir.

Good grief!

How did you survive a four-year relationship with her?

She’s been inside for exactly four seconds and she already made me an accused!

You put him through hell in the name of love,

then you ran to them and complained as if he cheated you,

and they're acting like they’re saving all of womankind by dragging him here!

Withdraw your complaint and just get out! Screw this!

Even if she drops the charges, sir, I am not going anywhere.

What do you mean you're not going?!

-Sir, please tell her to give me L3. -What the hell is L3?

Love Leaving Letter, sir.

Sir, tell her to give it in writing that she has nothing to do with me anymore.

It's literally a 'love divorce,' sir!

Tell her to put it all down in a letter and sign it.

And you and Madam can sign it as witnesses.

Look, I can't give you any such letter.

The law doesn't recognize that.

Then you give me a letter, sir!

Saying what?!

Write a letter like this, sir. 'Following the complaint

filed by Avantika and her family against Raghuvaran...

A thorough investigation has revealed that Raghuvaran is completely innocent.

Therefore, in the future,

if Avantika or her associates,

file a case in any police station across Tamil Nadu,

the police department guarantees that it will not be accepted.

Just write that and give it to me, sir.

-I’ll leave right this second! -Hey, what's wrong with you?

One minute you're asking her for a letter, the next you're asking me?

Look here, it won't take me a second to lose my temper and show you my other side.

I'm warning you!

Sir! What else do you expect me to do?

Even with a job, it's impossible for me to handle the problems I have.

With no work to be found here,

I literally begged and cried to my friend in Dubai,

and managed to secure a job that included four months of training.

But they went and threw dirt on that, too!

Sir, I know all about that company.

Why does he need to go now for a job that only starts in four months?

For his position,

that exact company provides customized training right here in Chennai!

Just to escape from me...

he is deliberately using training as an excuse to run off to Dubai!

Did you see that, sir? She filed this case knowing absolutely everything!

She will never let me go to Dubai, sir.

You must get her to sign that L3 for me!

I'm not signing any L3!

And why won't you?!

Sir, did I force him to fall in love with me?

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

How did he make you love him? At least you tell me.

Is that what's important right now, sir?

Ugh... fine, you won't tell me either.

Okay, at least you spit out whatever you came to say and get it over with!

Sir, after doing everything I liked

and acting exactly how I wanted for four whole years...

how can he suddenly just say he doesn't want me anymore, sir?

If he just comes and talks to my mom, we can convince her.

Sir, tell him to come and talk to my mother directly!

Did you see that, sir? Even now, she only thinks about herself and her mother...

but does she ever think about me, sir?

She genuinely believes the entire world revolves around her, sir!

I did everything for her, sir.

Sir, doesn't everyone do this for each other when they're in love?

Which 'everyone'? And who exactly is doing what for whom?

You mean what every single guy out there blindly does for a girl!

Because I loved her,

my time is gone, my career is gone,

the trust my family had in me is gone,

and my dignity is completely shattered!

If I marry her, my whole life is over!

Sir, I absolutely do not want her!

I truly thought he did all of this because he wanted to, sir.

I never realized he was suffering this much to do it.

But sir... in the end, I'm the only one standing here losing everything, aren't I?

So, what do you want her to do about it now?

Sir, it’s easy to be Avantika in a relationship.

But it’s incredibly hard to be Raghuvaran.

If she can, just let her try being in my shoes for a four months.

Let's see if she can handle it.

-I don't understand! -Sir...

Everything I did for her during these four years of love...

tell her to do the exact same things for me for just four months, sir!

Whether she has a bike or not, she must pick and drop me off every single day.

Whether she likes it or not, she must only do what I want!

Whether she has time or not, she must be available for me 24/7 like a genie!

With a mere 40,000 salary,

she must run around carrying a one-lakh rupee financial burden for her!

Tell her to do all of this back for me, sir.

Then I will gladly go and talk to her mother!

But if she can't do it...

tell her to sign the L3 and get out of my life, sir!

-That's the end of it. -Okay, sir.

Sir, I'm ready to become Raghuvaran.

You'll change?! Hey, are you out of your mind?

Sir, just give me two minutes... I'll talk to her alone and come back, sir.

Hmm, hmm.

Ma'am?!

Look at you!

Don't talk in haste!

He's just trying to drag you into a massive trap and trap you!

We can never actually do the things that guys do when they're in love.

Just shut up, sign that L3, and make your escape!

What are you saying, ma'am?

He isn't just my first love...

He is the sum of all my love!

When I asked him to marry me,

even I didn’t think about my own mother.

But he did.

Even at the police station the last time,

when my mother came and spoke so terribly to him...

he never pointed fingers at me or said I was the one spending his money, ma'am.

Anyone can find a guy who loves them.

But she will never find a man who willingly takes the blame just to protect her.

I want him, ma'am.

Go to hell! Come, let's get back in there.

Sir... whatever he said, I will do it all, sir!

She said she'll do it, right? Now get lost!

-Be gone, evil Satan! -Huh?!

Give me your hand.

Welcome to the Men's World!

I can't even begin to imagine what's going to happen over the next four months...

[a movie scene on TV]"Let the butterfly you love fly away."

"If it returns, it was always yours."

"And if it doesn't, let it go. That's your words!"

"Did I really say that?"

[movie scene continues on TV] [phone rings]

Hello, tell me Kishore.

Avantika, there is a client meeting at 9.30 tomorrow. Please join.

Okay, I will take care of it.

The moment I pick up my phone, they start pestering the life out of me!

"...I gave it deep thought and made a decision, too."

"I’ve taken a bulldozer to the temple I built in my own heart."

[whispers] Hello.

-Where are you? -At home.

Be wherever you want,

but I've got a training class first thing tomorrow morning.

I will be at Tattoo's room. Come and pick me up.

Oh no! I can't do it.

There is a client meeting at 9.30 tomorrow.

It is your job to pick me up and drop me.

You said you will do what boys do in love, right?

Come and do it.

I can't do it. You better get a cab.

I’ll see how you manage to go to that client meeting.

Hey, Google!

Call, Harichandran sir.

[phone rings]

Tell me, sir.

You don’t need to go to the office tomorrow.

Apparently, he isn’t going to his training class either.

And he told me not to go anywhere, too.

Both of you just come down to the station and hand over that L3 form he asked for.

You do your job. He will do his job.

And I will do my job.

Sir, sir...

Don't do all that, sir.

I've got to pick him up, right? I will do it, sir.

We can just head over to Mayajaal, catch a movie, and then head back home.

We can have lunch on the way.

We can buy your favourite ice cream as well.

-You’re in love? -We are, sir.

Bloody hell! Just get out of here!

First you roam around glued to each other,

and then you split up and bring your messy drama to me!

If you drive this slowly, I won't reach my class until tomorrow!

This is as fast as I can drive. If you're in such a hurry, you drive!

Fine, get on.

Hey, whenever you ride on my bike, is this how you sit?

Fine.

Hey...

What?

Further back.

Even further!

Even further!

Any further back and I'd have to ride on the vehicle behind us!

Okay, come safely. I'm already late for class!

Oh...

Bye.

[punches the punching bag] Hi, Raghu!

[punches with more force]

[punches again]

Oh no!

Was he punching my photo all this time?!

Being together is one thing, sticking photos together is another.

This isn't just fake, it wouldn't even happen in my dreams.

Why are you talking so negatively?

Shall we go straight to your village

plead on our knees and convince your parents

and bring them back? Huh?

Don't you have any conscience at all?

That day, when your mother humiliated my parents at the police station,

you didn't even feel like apologizing.

My sister, she's younger than you,

do you have any idea how terrified she was?

You didn't even try to console her.

Today, because you need something from them,

are you actually ready to fall at their feet?

Listen!

Even if they ask me to marry you,

I’m not interested.

Leave me alone! Here, take your phone.

I need to deal this with the person behind her ideas.

Oh no! He's leaving.

Hey, Raghu! Stop, stop!

Sorry for venting and messing up the vibe.

Let's talk about this later.

How can I make you feel better right now?

Will you get me some booze?

Me?!

Hey, why is the wine shop marked as closed?

But so many people are standing here?

Just to buy alcohol in black.

Oh.

-Then what about you? -In black, of course!

Go get it quickly.

What's wrong?

Hmm...

Alright, I'll go myself.

I told you I'd handle it myself.

I'll do it myself.

This holiday should not exist in the next generation!

-Sorry, bro. -Keep the sorry aside.

What are you doing here?

I came here to buy some booze in black.

In black?

You scoundrels!

Isn't drinking until midnight at the pub enough,

that you've come to buy in the black market at noon?

-Don't talk like a fool, bro. -Like a fool?

Brother, how do you buy liquor in black?

Did you think this was as simple as buying syrup at a pharmacy?

That's what all these wine shop warriors are waiting for.

Once the shutter opens, they'll dive in immediately.

See how they’re running to ruin their livers?

Who the hell is stepping on my foot while running?

Oh no! With so many people going, how are we going to buy it, brother?

Earning the reputation of a good husband from a wife

and diving in to buy beer in black isn't that easy, dear.

Practice is key.

Oh no! It's getting late.

Why?

Do your hands and legs shake at 12 o'clock just like mine?

Oh, the booze isn't for me, it's for my boyfriend.

For your boyfriend?

I've seen girlfriends make their boyfriends thirsty,

but this is the first time I'm seeing a girlfriend

making her boyfriend happy by getting him booze!

Bro!

You are very lucky!

He's been making me pay for it since he has already given it to me.

Tell him to do whatever else he wants.

But tell him not to go and dance saying 'My love life failed...' after he's drunk.

-I'll let him know. -I'm going in.

Hey, make way!

Oh man! I can't handle the pressure from the wife, please, for the love of god.

Where is she? Move aside!

Oh my, are you trying to sacrifice me for the sake of your love?

You sent me inside without giving me any money!

They're stomping all over my neck! Give me the money!

-Oh no! Sorry, brother. -Sorry? They're going to shut the shutters!

Move aside, you guys! You won't progress, and you won't let me progress either!

Oh no, my sister's husband isn't well!

The doctor said he'd die if he doesn't drink up soon.

Oh man, brother, just hold on for five minutes! I'm coming right back.

Hey, make way, idiot!

This one's for me, this one's for you.

Oh my...

Raghu, success!

Hey, that's not my brand. Mine is 280 rupees.

It's not his brand it seems. Give it here!

Hey bro, why did you drink that?

Only those who drink occasionally look at the brand.

But for me, the very thing I drink is the brand!

Brother, stop being annoying and just go get the brand he asked for.

Sorry, girl.

My sister's husband doesn't like that brand. Let me in!

Oh no! They got me.

Oh, girl! They blocked me right at the entrance and pushed me out.

I couldn't get in.

You can't even get a drink in black, you call yourself a man?

Oh! So that's how you talk?

That's exactly why he's walking all over you.

Don't blame me, you go take a round yourself, go!

Hey, hey, hey!

Oh no! Oh my... I can't breathe!

-Save me, brother! Save me, please... -The great Titanic heroine...

she's raising her hands and screaming in the ocean waves.

-I can't do this, brother! -Are you speaking ill of men?

Just wait and watch, they are going to make an omelet out of you and cast you out.

Brother, save me.

Please save me. brother! Brother... brother, please...

Now you understand the pain men face, don't you?

Save me!

-Save me, brother! -Welcome back.

-Will you talk like that again? -Never, brother! I will never talk.

Please brother, go and get it.

I can't do it for you. I will get it for that boy.

Let me in! Did you come to buy or stand in the way?

We won!

-I am the winner! -Raghu... success!

Huh?!

-Why did you snatch it again? -Where did I snatch it?

It was the Inspector.

Good morning, sir! Hey, run! It's the police!

-Hey run! It's the police! -Give it to me, sir!

-Here, take it! Move! -Who is stepping on my foot again?

Hold this, come on, hold it! Move!

-Run! Run! -I'm already late!

-Bye, dude! Thank you! -Hey, drop me and go.

No, I have a meeting now.

What? I'm asking you to drop me and go.

-Bye! Be safe! -Hey! Hey!

Hey, who is it? Why are you going inside?

The housekeeping time is over, why are you coming now?

Hey! Who are you calling housekeeping?

-I'm Avantika. -Which Avantika?

Hey, you're always ogling, aren't you?

Always smirking and fawning with a "Good morning,"

that Avantika!

Madam, whenever you come there, a scent hits me here,

why have you come like this?

Why? What happened?

Is this her original look?

I thought you would look after me in all sorts of ways,

but I never imagined you would make me look after you like this.

Bloody Raghu!

Massage a little more here...

-right on my shoulder. -She looks worn out.

Here, massage my hand as well.

What happened?

Oh my... why do you even ask?

I’ve been travelling with him since this morning...

I hit a speed breaker, and boy, it gave a sharp jolt.

My back is aching so badly.

If it’s already this much after just one week,

wait until the four weeks are over.

Oh no, Merlin, please don't start! Don't just go around supporting him.

Okay... where is Mamtha?

She just went to meet Kishore.

I think she has gone to discuss about the on-site project.

-Is she going for the on-site project?! -Hmm.

Actually, I wanted to go.

-Kishore, this project's report... -Hey, Mamtha!

-One second. -Okay.

Bro, I need a favour from you.

-I definitely cannot give you a leave. -No, bro. Not that.

You are discussing about the on-site project, right?

Yes.

This year, let me go.

Hey Avi, you’ve never really had much interest in on-site work, have you?

What's new now?

Even if that were the case, your mom wouldn't let you go alone, would she?

I will manage that. You please...

She is irritating me.

Bro, please count me in.

I have a lot of commitments.

If I get that project, it will be very helpful.

So please, let me go this year.

Kishore, you have nothing to worry about.

I'm not worried about that.

You don't do the work properly here.

You don't respond to my calls at all.

You’re coming and going as you please...

Bro, but I told you I wanted permission, didn't I?

Permission isn't about telling, it's about asking!

When have you ever asked me for permission?

Oh no, bro. I will 'ask' permission from now.

So you'll ask for permission, but you still won't commit to working properly?

Bro, I didn't mean it like that.

I'll take care of the work, I promise.

-Please, just add my name. -Hmm.

Thanks, bro!

I will add you.

Hey, Mamtha!

Thanks for letting it go.

-No, I don't get it. Did I let it go? -Yes!

Yeah, yeah.

Ms. Avantika, the Inspector's here to meet you.

Hey?!

-Inspector?! -He's waiting downstairs.

Oh, no! Why did he come?

Why are you making me stand out here in this scorching heat?

There are much bigger criminals in town for you to catch, sir.

Why are you focusing only on me?

I was chasing the accused.

He ended up chasing me and made me wait here.

He said you left halfway through, and insisted that I drop him off.

Was I given this jeep just to drive him around?

Sir, he didn’t even care that I’m a woman,

he told me to buy him booze in black.

I even bought it for him before I came here.

Hey, this is too much.

Sir...

Just a minute, sir.

"Raghu, I'm hungry."

-"Hey, it's 2 o'clock in the night." -"Why?"

"We shouldn't be hungry at 2 o'clock in the night?"

"Just go grab some of that midnight biryani."

There's one more, sir.

Oh no... not that one.

"Raghu, my friends and I have planned to see the IPL."

"Arrange 5 tickets."

"Hey, are you kidding me?"

"There will be 5,000 people in the queue. I'll have to stand there all night long."

"Stand! You claim to be in love, you can't even do this?"

-Give that to me! -"What better work do you have?"

Sir, do you know why she snatched my phone in such a hurry?

She then went on to curse me with the filthiest language.

What can I do? He’s got all the evidence against you.

Just give that L3 and go.

I have to be the one running errands for your love.

Sir, let me take permission and come back.

I'll drop him off myself.

Take it.

The TL is going to give me a real earful.

Sir, it looks like she'll take some time.

Can you keep me company for about 10 minutes?

Not only did you stop me from doing my duty,

but you actually want me to keep you company?

-Hey, come here! -Sir?

Hmm, tell me, sir.

Here! He says he wants 10 minutes of company. Go keep him company!

You'll go crazy in a little while.

-Thank you, sir! -I think I should get L3 from him first.

My fate!

Bro, shall I tell you my story?

Bye, sir!

Get lost!

Hey, there's a tea shop! Stop, stop, stop!

Finally, it crossed your mind to buy me a tea.

My head is throbbing, go buy me a cup of tea.

You won't even do that?

I'm the one who's supposed to buy it for you, right?

Why should I buy it for you?

He’s already having tea here.

-Hi, Chetta! -Is he going to add this to my tab too?

Hi, Tattoo brother!

-Chetta! -Yes?

-One tea... -Huh...

-Can I get an apology as well? -Yes, you can.

Chetta, never sign security for anything.

The people who owe money are out having the time of their lives.

And here I am, having to hide under a blanket.

Both of you stay in the same room. Why don't you talk to each other?

Look who’s talking! The mighty peacemaker himself.

Oh, so we're letting white pigeons fly, are we?

Just make the tea!

Go play peacemaker with your wife who went away first.

Why is Tattoo brother leaving angrily?

You went to Ooty and blew money on a wedding that never even happened,

that was the money he got us using himself as collateral.

Give back that wedding necklace and the silk saree,

and he might just make peace.

What? Will you return it?

Oh no!

That was the first purchase for our wedding.

Those are memories. I won’t give them back.

-Your tea's ready! -As if you will give back if you could.

-Thanks, Chetta. -Huh.

Fine... you can go now.

Pick me up tomorrow morning.

Eh... Raghu.

Can I give you something?

You're giving me the L3 today? Thank you so much!

This is not L3, it's L2.

Love Letter?

Wasn't it enough that I loved you once?

-Must I love you again and again? -L2 means Leave Letter.

Oh... L2 means Leave Letter?

Mmm hmm.

Dear Raghuvaran...

It's my 'Office Day' tomorrow, so I can't come over to pick you up.

Honestly, after spending the whole week hanging out with you,

even my office security doesn't recognize me anymore.

I need tomorrow off just to freshen up and put on some makeup for work.

So, I’m requesting a one-day leave.

Your's faithfully, Avantika.

Full of spelling mistakes!

And you call yourself a Communication Engineer.

Just one day, right? Take it.

-Thanks, Raghu! -Hmm.

-Greetings, madam. -Hi!

I haven't seen you people here before.

-Which branch are you? -I'm from the Adyar branch.

Oh!

-Which branch are you? -I'm from the Anna Nagar branch!

Greetings.

Wait, my company doesn't even have a branch there.

And we aren't from your office!

Then who asked you to come?

Look! He’s the one!

Why’d you stop? Dance!

Who are these people?

These people? They came to see me.

I brought them to see you.

Why should they see me?

Six months of missed EMIs. They came and asked me.

You're the one who promised to handle it for the next four months.

Answer them now.

Why did you have to bring them here in front of everyone?

They cornered me on the street just like this.

One guy even snatched my bike right in the middle of the road.

And this guy here...

he asked me to pay up right in the middle of the office, in front of everyone!

Another one rejected my loan and just vanished.

Humiliation doesn’t come with a warning.

Look...

it just shows up on your doorstep, out of nowhere, just like this.

Hmm...

Can't pay?

If you can't, just sign the L3. I'll take care of all these people myself.

You can walk away free.

Okay... I’ll settle this.

Just tell me how much he owes to whom.

-How much do we owe you? -94,000 rupees, madam.

Huh?!

What did you do for 94,000 rupees?

What did I do?

You’re the one who did this to me!

hat useless necklace you bought? This is the result of that.

It was only 50,000 and change, wasn't it?

Why do we have to pay 94,000 rupees?

It would’ve been 56,000 rupees if you’d paid within the 45-day billing cycle.

But you didn't pay anything at all!

Why didn't you pay?

I had the money ready to pay that off.

But then you called me and said,

'Raghu, my birthday is next week, surprise me with an iPhone!'

And you know what the highlight is?

The fact that you asked for your own 'surprise'...

that’s the highlight!

Okay...

but how would you get an iPhone for just 56,000 rupees?

Logical! Good question.

I didn't have enough for it, so I borrowed from him.

He took a loan of 1 lakh from me.

Ask him yourself, did he repay it in 45 days?

Why are you looking at me?

You didn't just spend every 45 days...

you were spending every 45 minutes!

You don't see me as a lover.

You see me as Aladdin’s genie, don't you?

You're swiping me down to nothing.

Every single time you call, I'm forced to get a new card.

Because I couldn't pay the two lakhs,

I took one more from a third party, and it turned into three.

And since I couldn't handle those three lakhs,

I borrowed another from a fourth person... and it became four.

Four became five.

Five became six.

Six became seven.

Finally, it ended up at 7.5 lakhs in debt.

In the middle of all this chaos, I was paying house rent,

my sister’s college fees,

and the EMI for the bike I used to take you around every day,

plus, I had to pay for the petrol too!

I've had it!

But just to prove your character,

you made us run away to Ooty to get married...

and you ruined everything!

The job and family a man needs to live a good life are gone.

All I have left are the loans and the love that destroyed me.

And as proof,

I have a 15 lakhs debt,

and you, standing right there!

Now tell me. Will you sign on the L3,

or will you give the guarantee that you’ll take responsibility for all these loans?

For the next four months, no one is to call and disturb me.

If you need anything, ask her.

Okay?

I will pay off all your dues. You can leave now.

Thank you very much, sir.

Hello, brother!

I was the one who said I'd settle the loans.

Why are you thanking him?

Madam, usually, we’re the ones who have to go collect the money from borrowers.

But look at him, he borrowed the money himself,

and now he’s even doing our job of collecting it!

Isn't he just great?

-Sir, thanks. -Thank you, sir.

All the credits goes to...

If I mess up his Dubai plans now, he’ll kill me before he leaves.

You have money to buy makeup, but you can't pay your EMI?

Will you pay the EMI now or not?

-You were able to sign the surety. -I'll come back again!

-You can't pay back as promised? -If I don't get the money...

How much is this, sir?

Ma'am, this is 65,000 rupees.

It's okay.

The price is higher now than when I first bought it.

Ma'am, this is an imported item.

You won't get it that easily.

A customer ordered one yesterday.

Luckily, you got it today.

Sir, I bought this very piece from you not long ago.

Same design, same piece.

I haven't even used it much.

If you take it back, could you give me 40,000 rupees for it?

I’m in an emergency right now. I’ll buy it back later.

Sorry, ma'am. Once a sale is final, we do not accept returns.

Sir, didn't you just say this was a high-demand, imported item?

That’s just sales talk.

It’s up to you to be careful what you buy.

We never forced you to take it, did we?

Are you kidding me?

I paid 56,000 for this because I trusted your word!

How can you say you won't take it back now?

We don’t accept returns.

But since you’re insisting, I’ll take it back for 2,000 as an exchange.

And buy anything else you like.

Do I look like a fool to you?

You’re going to take my 56,000 rupees item for 2,000,

and then turn around and sell it for 65,000 again?

And you expect me to just walk away with that?

Hey! Quiet.

Everyone is looking at us.

Let them look at us.

There should be a value for money, right?

Waste fellows!

I would've cleared 3 EMIs. I can't even clear one now.

What can we do if she can't clear her EMIs?

What are you looking at?

-How much are you planning to spend? -30,000 rupees.

If you have 30,000 to spend, go to Lalitha jewellery and buy some gold.

It will be useful in the future.

Look, if you want something like this, just head to Pondy Bazaar.

You’ll find them selling it for 300 rupees.

Buy it, use it, and throw it in the trash when you're done.

Oh no! Without realizing this, I've already committed to four people.

-What are you doing here? -Oh no, him?

-I came to see the new collections. -Did you see it?

I saw it.

I saw what you saw.

That's nothing...

They’ve got all these old collections sitting there.

I went over and threatened them, told them they’d better buy the new ones.

Oh!

-Shall we go? -Keep threatening.

Keep rolling your lies as well.

Bro, I need 20,000 urgently.

Please, I’ll return it as soon as my bonus arrives next month.

Why the 'please'? You just need 20,000, right?

Here.

Thanks, bro.

Avantika, tomorrow is your birthday, right?

Yeah, bro.

In ECR, my friend's guest house is free.

Shall we party there?

Just the two of us.

All these years, I’ve been calling you 'brother', haven't I?

Yuck!

But I never called you as sister.

Hey, Avantika!

If 20,000 doesn't cut it, let's sit down and cut a deal.

Even Raghu, who borrowed lakhs for me,

never once crossed the line with me like this.

For just 20,000 rupees,

without a second thought,

he’s asking a woman who called him 'brother' to come sleep with him.

[car unlocked]

[car unlocking]

-Who is that? -Hey, get down from my car!

Hey, can't you hear me? Get off!

What does 'bro' mean?

She's cried for help already?

I'm talking to you!

What does 'bro' mean?

Hey, get down!

Tell me! What does 'bro' mean?

Bro! Bro! Sorry, bro! Sorry, bro!

I'm really sorry, bro!

So, is 'brother' only a title you use for men?

Just because you sit in a position of power,

does that mean you stop seeing women as sisters?

Bro! Bro! I will see, bro.

I swear I will see, bro. Look at me now!

I'm extremely sorry sisters!

He called us sisters?

From now on, I will call all of them as sister, bro!

-Who told him? -I did.

[dances in joy]

-Hey, baby! Happy birthday! -Thank you, Mom!

Be happy always!

Everyone else is wishing me,

but this guy... he wants a treat but not wishing me.

I just want to...

Here.

Pay for the party.

You just told me you were broke, so how exactly are you affording a party this big?

It's an app.

Huh?

Loan app.

I'll finalize it for you today then.

-Hi! -Hi, guys!

How long are we supposed to wait?

We haven't eaten a thing, just waiting for you.

Sorry!

Let's have food.

-Has everyone ordered? -Hmm, yeah!

Excuse me. How much do you weigh?

What?!

What are you doing?

I'm just asking. Tell me.

Fifty five.

At 55kg, your body BMI can’t handle more than 500g of food.

You’ve gone ahead and ordered three kilos of food for yourself.

Will you do this if it were your money?

Excuse me.

Tell me, how much does it cost you to buy groceries for your own home for a week?

It's 1500 to 2000 rupees per week.

1500 to 2000 rupees.

A whole family eats for a week on 1,500 to 2,000 rupees.

And here you are, ordering more than that for a single meal?

Just because it's not your money, right?

What is this, Avantika?

Did you invite me here just to humiliate me?

Raghu, apologize to her now!

Sorry. Sorry, guys.

Sorry. Please eat.

Whatever you've ordered, eat without leaving any leftovers.

I will pay your bill myself.

If you leave any leftovers, pay your own bills.

Hey! What's up?

Do you think I can't afford to pay for the food I've eaten?

Pay! If you can afford it, then pay!

Who is stopping you?

I will pay for the food you actually taste.

I will not pay for the food you waste.

Hey! Keep quiet.

What's this, Avantika?

He keeps talking, and you’re just watching?

How would she even ask, buddy?

After all, her love is the greatest love in the world!

Let her celebrate her birthday with the greatest lover in the world.

Let’s go!

Hey! Why are you making an issue now?

Who? Are we making an issue?

Or is it him?

You can stay and eat with them. We'll go.

Hey, come on, let's go.

Hey!

You claimed you could afford all this, but now you're leaving without paying?

If anyone even thinks about forcing a "party treat" on me again,

I’ll tear your face off, mark my words!

Come on, let's go! Let's head to a different party.

What is your problem?

Why are you behaving like this?

It's my birthday today!

You didn't even wish me,

and you ended up humiliating the friends who came to wish me?

Are you happy now?

Who are you calling friends?

How many people did you ask for money to pay off your loan two days ago?

Did anyone help you?

The moment you invited them to a treat

if they had asked, "You're already struggling without money,

why spend it on this now?",

they would be true friends.

Look. You can accept anything,

but wasting food is the worst thing in the world.

Why? Is food not being wasted right now?

Wait a minute.

If anyone drinks for the next one hour,

I will kill you!

-Bro! -Yes, sir?

Whatever loss incurs in your business in the next one hour,

put it on her tab.

-Okay? -Okay, sir.

Happy birthday, sister!

Thank you!

All this... for me?

For the children.

It fell on the table, leave it aside.

I'll give you another piece.

No need, sister.

I've had stale food itself, sister.

It just fell on the table, I will clean it and eat it.

My parents left me in an orphanage because

they didn't even have the money to provide this food.

I know how much you must have spent to buy me this food,

and I understand how hard you had to work to earn that money, sister.

Hmm... this is so tasty.

Hi.

Why didn't you eat?

What did I do wrong, Merlin?

If friends are more important to you, you should have sent Raghu away that day.

But you insulted your friends

and still stayed with Raghu, the very person who insulted you.

Raghuvaran has become more important to you than us, hasn't he?

He is important, Merlin.

Every birthday, I go to the temple to seek God’s blessings.

But for this birthday...

he brought God to come and wish me.

He is important to me, Merlin.

Then why are you worried about them?

Won't it be difficult if my friends suddenly stop talking to me?

You feel bad that your friends have left you,

but have you ever felt that it was because of you that everyone who loved him left him?

That's why, Merlin...

Like he asked, I pick him up and drop him off daily,

and I handle his debts too.

Avi, do you think the loans are his biggest issues?

His problem is something else entirely.

Shall I ask you something simple?

What's his favourite food?

-I don't know. -Fine. What's his favourite shirt brand?

I don't know.

At least, what is his favourite place in Chennai?

I don't know, Merlin.

How many restaurants have you visited with him?

How much shopping would you have done with him?

Where all have you travelled together?

But you don't know what he likes.

Not only you,

but no girl has ever entered a man's world.

You only think about how much you want him,

but you never stop to think about what he actually wants.

Education and career are a girl's rights,

but for boys, they are responsibilities.

Rights are something we demand and take.

Responsibilities are what are forced upon them without them even asking.

Until you enter his world and seek out what he actually needs,

you will never be able to understand him.

Do you know why I'm telling you all of this?

I am someone who can see both a man's world and a woman's world equally.

Think about what I said, Avi.

Madam has applied for a credit card, and I am here for the verification.

My daughter? Applied for a credit card?!

Ma'am has applied for a personal loan.

Please cancel the verification, she doesn't need any credit card anymore.

We don't need any loan, sir. Go!

♪ Who am I? Really, who am I? ♪

Hello, brother.

Huh?

Dad and I are coming to Chennai to pay the exam fees tomorrow.

I want to see you.

If possible, can you please come to the bus stand tomorrow?

Okay.

♪ In your world, Who am I? ♪

Bro, my salary will be credited only at 12 o'clock.

What can I do if you come so early?

What should I do, Madam? It's the same story every month. But you never pay.

I've made up my mind, Madam. This time I won't leave until I get it.

Yes, madam. We will get it and leave.

Calculate the EMI for 2 months. I will come and pay it.

Thank you very much, madam.

Why?

Our Vice President came from Mumbai,

and the first thing she asked for was you.

We think your on-site project has been approved!

Congrats!

Thank you!

Hey, where is the treat?

For what? For him to come and insult us?

Sit down, man.

Yeah, I'll sit down.

Thank you, guys!

-I will go and meet her first. Hmm? -Hmm.

What next? Her chair's ours!

What is this, Ma'am? Why have you fired me?

Do you know what you have done?

We told you to send a quotation with lower rates

to a new client without the regular client's knowledge,

but you had sent it to them itself.

And now they are accusing us of cheating

and threatening to stop doing business with us.

No he is asking for the balance to be settled.

Do you have any idea how much the settlement amount is?

72 crores!

How do we settle them now?

Just be happy that we stopped at just firing you.

In fairness, I should be taking legal action against you.

It's better that you start looking for openings elsewhere.

We have freezed your accounts.

It won't be cleared until this problem is solved.

There’s no chance of that happening anyway.

She promised to pay two months' EMI together.

She just came and told us.

She said she will pay once her salary is credited, sir.

How is it possible?

Oh no, the way he’s coming toward us, he’s definitely going to make a scene.

So, Avantika, I heard that you said you'd pay double EMI?

Have you been promoted or something?

Oh, so they did.

Sonamutha! Did you lose your job?

But look at the appointment order I got.

That too, in Dubai.

My placement has been confirmed!

-Take it. -Thank you, sir.

-Take it. -What's he doing?

-Thank you, sir. -Take it.

I'm very happy.

What's up, sir? You're giving out chocolates because you got a new job?

I'm not giving them out because I got a job.

I'm doing it because she lost hers.

Why, sir?

She didn't pay the EMI even when she had a job.

Now that she's lost it, how is she supposed to pay?

She will give L3.

Raghu!

She is already feeling terrible about losing her job,

it’s really wrong to talk like that right now.

I lost my job because of her.

Did anyone advise her like this?

You said you can be Raghuvaran for four months?

Well, you can never be Raghuvaran.

Come tomorrow and hand over the L3.

You’re asking for 15 lakhs for a property worth 2 crores?

I’ve gotten myself into trouble with credit card bills and various app loans.

I have to clear it all.

I will take the document back once I get the settlement from my office.

Alright, I'll verify everything and get back to you in a couple of days.

-Thank God, he forgot me. -Hey, Tattoo!

I sent someone to bring you, and now you brought someone?

-When are you planning to settle? -Settu!

My 2 lakhs are also part of that 15 lakhs.

They have brought me here by compromising that they will give it to me.

Verify it soon.

Perhaps he was my wife in a past life, the very sight of him terrifies me.

Here, ask the auditor to verify this.

Okay, sir.

-Ma'am! -Hmm?

Sir wants you to verify this document.

Okay.

What kind of mess did she get into that she had to mortgage the house papers?

-Hello! -Tell me, ma'am.

Kishore! Is everything okay with Avantika?

Ma'am, don't you know anything?

Your daughter has been in love with a guy named Raghu.

Here, take this.

Why did you ask me to come alone to give this?

Dad is right there, come and talk to him.

-No, I am not coming. -Why?

I’m the one in debt.

Dad left me because he thought I wouldn't be able to get you married, right?

Well, I have a job now.

Once I've paid off all my debts and gotten you married off, then I'll talk.

Okay.

So, what have you decided regarding Avantika?

[bus honking] Hey, Kavitha!

It's time for the bus, you should leave.

-Couldn't you at least talk to him? -Get on the bus.

[lady slaps]

Why should my daughter have to pay off your debt?

Don't speak without knowing the facts.

I know exactly what's going on, that's why I'm talking.

If you took the loan, pay it off with your own assets.

Why are you asking her to use my property and get my daughter to pay it off, huh?

Oh no, brother...

Why are you staring over there? Look at my face and speak to me.

You’ve been paying your EMIs with my daughter’s salary for the past 3 months.

You've been eating off her money.

You’ve made a grown-up girl run around day and night without any regard.

In the name of love, you've ruined my daughter's life.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

My daughter... would think twice even before telling me a lie.

You’ve turned her into a debtor like yourself

and made her steal my property deeds.

My daughter doesn't have anyone other than me.

-Dad, go and stop her. -No, you get on the bus.

Do you have any idea how much effort I put into raising her as a single parent?

[bus moves]

To hell with your raising!

Who really ruined whose life?

It was your daughter who ruined mine.

And thanks to you, my family left me.

You said I borrowed 15 lakhs and lived like a bum?

It’s because your daughter spent money like a spendthrift

that I’m standing here with a 15-lakh debt!

She wouldn't even drink a 20-rupee coffee at a street stall,

she only drinks 280-rupee cappuccinos at Starbucks.

Your daughter doesn't know the value of money.

And you? You don't know the value of people.

Go away from here! Don't make me do something I might regret.

How dare you speak to your elders with such disrespect?

Oh!

Is respect just for elders?

Why? Are we not entitled to that?

My father just died and has boarded the bus with a heavy heart.

How will I ever face him tomorrow?

Why are you just jumping to conclusions?

I knew the moment she foolishly accepted this challenge

that she would eventually get into trouble.

That’s why I have kept the property deeds

and jewellery my father gave me to settle my debts safe.

I will use those to clear your daughter’s debt,

but I will never ask you to sell your property to pay off my loans.

My parents raised me by teaching me how to keep a girl safe,

but they never taught me how to use a girl to ensure one's own safety.

No creditor will come looking for your daughter ever again.

Don't tell your daughter to come looking for me as well.

Hi, Tattoo brother!

What are you doing here?

Go and ask your mom.

-What happened? -Get away!

Why is Raghu's house document here?

Why is our house document not here?

Mom, you...

you are making a big mistake.

My dad should have been here.

He should have asked you why you are doing this.

I am like this because of your dad.

Your dad isn't some big hero like you were raised to believe.

He borrowed money from everyone and,

unable to pay it back, died by suicide,

he is a murderer who destroyed my life.

I carried both you and the debt that man created, and wandered the streets.

No relative came to save us.

Only the education I received saved me.

So that you would never have to endure the suffering I went through,

I made sure to take care of every little thing for you.

That day at the police station, when I saw you with that boy...

I died inside!

It felt exactly like looking at your father and me.

I didn't want you to end up in my situation.

That's why I told you to stay away from him.

But it was only after speaking to him today that I realized.

He is not like your dad,

it's you who have grown up to be just like your dad!

You've been in love with this guy for four years,

don't you even know how much he earns,

or how much you're making him spend?

I raised you well, but...

I didn't teach you what's right or wrong.

But, he has taught you well.

Now I'm saying it.

He's the right guy for you.

I have defamed his family.

Even if I have to beg them, it's my responsibility to convince them.

It's your responsibility to convince him.

But he just wouldn't accept, mom.

You made a man who kept saying 'no' spend money, didn't you?

Now, make the man who says he won't love you, fall in love with you.

Okay.

Thanks, mom.

He left his phone here and...

hmm, he must have gone out to eat.

So, you wanted a side dish?

Well, here’s your side dish.

-Hey, hey, hey... -She's running!

Hey, catch her!

Hey!

Raghu!

Come, come, let's go!

What are you doing?

Four men are chasing me.

There's no one there.

Please Raghu... stay. I'm scared.

Oh! Have you started your next drama?

How does everything just seem to happen so naturally for you?

You will mortgage your house documents to pay off my debt.

And you’ll even give it to the same financier your mother works as an auditor.

All of this will happen without you even knowing about it, right?

And today, you come and hug me right when I’m walking through my area,

claiming that four thugs are chasing you.

When I looked behind you, no one was there.

What have you planned now?

-Raghu, what are you... -Wait.

You should never be trusted.

Hey... what's all this?

-I really don't know, Raghu. -Hey! Stop acting!

No, Raghu, I swear!

Four guys were chasing me.

I asked what's all this?

I really don't know.

Don't look at me like that.

How else should I look at you?

I asked you to stand in a man's shoes for four months and face his struggles,

but you didn't have the guts for that.

Is this how you cheat in such a shameful way?

I swear I didn't cheat you.

Who? You?

Usually, you sit with a good gap between us on the scooter,

but that day, I noticed you were sitting pressed right up against me.

Today, you're trying to record yourself hugging me on the road.

Once we're married tomorrow, if we get into an argument,

are you going to install a camera in our bedroom too?

Until now, I thought you were just irresponsible.

It only hit me today that we’re just not a good match.

Are there no other men...

Does 'no means no' only apply to women?

Doesn't it apply to men too?

I don't need you in my life anymore.

[phone rings]

If you see a girl walking alone at night, do you go after her?

Please don't hit us! Sir, please...

-Sir, did you ask for me? -Oh, you're here?

Here is the L3 you asked for, take it and leave!

-We'll never do it again, Sir! -Please let us go, Sir!

-Sorry, Sir! Sorry, Sir! -Sorry, Sir!

-Please let us go, Sir! -Let us go, Sir!

-Sir, Sir, camera... -Sir, our camera?

From now on, if you hide a camera anywhere under the guise of a 'prank,'

I’m going to break it.

Take it and get lost!

-Get lost! -Here, take it.

-Thanks, Sir. -Thank you, Sir.

Come, let's go.

Hey! Why are you still here?

We can beat and punish people like them.

We can't do anything to you guys, right?

Hey, what happened that made you want to end it all?

What else do you want me to do?

You know it, right?

Jashwanth married me only after knowing

that I loved Goutham and had a breakup, right?

Everyone in our office knows this.

Then what?

Yesterday, everyone was sitting in the hall having a casual chat.

Suddenly, there was a small non-sync between him and me.

That turned into a heated argument.

He didn't even realize where he was or what he was saying,

and in front of everyone,

he just blurted out that I’m the kind of girl who goes off with other men.

You were whining about how one girl ruined your life,

but do you have any idea how many women's lives have been ruined because of men?

I'm watching it happen every single day.

If women stopped putting up with everything,

there wouldn't be a single family left in this country.

We left everything for you, trusting you completely.

Why are you men like this?

[slaps Jashwanth]

You know why I agreed to this stupid L3, four-month agreement?

So that in these four months, you’d understand her love,

and she would understand your struggles.

She has understood. But you...

Love isn’t about keeping score of what I did for you

or asking you to pay me back for what I’ve done.

True love is saying, 'No matter what happens, I will never leave you.'

Hey!

If I see anyone letting him into the station again, you're done!

"If you see a girl walking alone at night, do you go after her?"

"Four men are chasing me."

"Have you started your next drama?"

When you had everything, she didn't ask for you.

She only wanted you when you had nothing left.

Can’t you see from that how much she loves you?

"He’s the sum of all my love!"

"Will you get me booze?"

"Raghu, success!"

You pushed that girl to give an L3.

"That was my first purchase for marriage."

"It's all memories."

♪ Really, who am I? ♪

Raghu, you need to leave for Dubai in just a few days.

All the best!

-Happy journey. -Thank you, Sir.

Thank you.

Why don't you answer my calls?

Why should I answer your calls?

I made a mistake by not understanding you.

You didn’t do anything wrong, Raghu.

I’m the one who made a mistake.

The day you said you didn’t want me in front of everyone at the police station…

I should’ve left you that very day.

I was the fool who kept chasing after you because I wanted only you.

I’m the one who made the mistake.

It’s true that I always wanted to ride on a sports bike.

If fulfilling that wish was all I wanted,

I could’ve gone with someone who owned one.

But do you know why I came with you?

People usually say girls are their dad’s little princesses.

But I don’t have a father…

so I never knew what that feeling was like.

But when I travelled with my Raghu on the bike I loved,

that’s when I truly felt like a princess.

This is something I could only expect from the one I love… from you alone, Raghu.

You kept saying I was making you spend money…

but for a girl, receiving gifts means more than giving them.

Because it gives her the feeling that there’s someone

who truly cares enough to do all this for her.

You broke it, didn't you?

Just when I started understanding you and trying to become someone worthy of you…

you destroyed me!

You could’ve scolded me out of anger…

fought with me…

or even hit me if you wanted.

But instead, you humiliated me.

Why are you talking like this?

I thought you were angry with me…

but I never imagined that you hated me.

If a girl talks freely, you call her cheap.

If she keeps her distance, you say she has an attitude.

God, I’ve had enough!

I’ll never come back into your life again.

Please… don’t come looking for me either.

Hey!

I used to think girls could never do the things boys do in love…

but now I realize men and women are equal after all.

When a man says 'men and women are equal',

even that comes from male dominance.

[flight takes off]

Sir, I need to see the Inspector.

He is inside, please go.

Sir!

Hey! You again?

Sir! You again?

What is the problem now?

Oh no, Sir… it’s been nothing but problems after marriage.

My wife and I just don’t get along, Sir.

If I suggest one name for the baby, she chooses another.

If I pick a school, she enrols the child somewhere else.

I want our kid to become an athlete, but she wants them to be a dancer.

I can’t take this anymore, Sir.

You tell me… who’s responsible for the child’s future?

The mother or the father?

Hey, wait… you got married?

Who did you marry?

Who else would I marry, Sir? I married Avantika.

Hey, your father and her mother never got along in the first place.

All that got sorted out, and we got married with their blessings.

Oh!

She already spoke for half an hour

and left saying she didn’t want you anymore, didn't she?

How did you convince her?

How did you make things right?

Sir, there’s many long stories about how two people who fought and broke apart

found their way back together.

But I didn’t come here to tell that story, Sir.

My story is about the problems that started after marriage.

Please listen to my story in the order I’m telling it, Sir.

Hey!

Will you never tell a story in the right order till the very end?

I won’t!
