Wake up

- Good morning - Good morning

Have it

Hi Visu and Ramu Get up

- Good morning, dad - Good morning

Hey Ramu, get up

- Good morning, dad - Good morning

Your coffee

2 dollars

If you win $4 If you lose $2

Okay?

Find out at least today which one of us is Visu

Eenie meenie minie...Visu!

Wrong guess You lost again, Juno

I'm Visu, he's Ramu

Tomorrow I'll win Wait and watch

Why...why?

Even though I'm so intelligent why am I unable to guess right?

Juno, you need 6th sense You have only 5

Tell me then how you are right all the time?

They are my sons, da!

Okay, but we break our heads, right?

At least they can dress differently?

No...no...even in their dress we shouldn't differentiate

Then they will get a complex

That will make them drift apart

Their entire lifetime, my sons should be together always

That's why I'm impartial even in the smallest detail

"Though we are apart you are in my heart..."

"Sweet memories keep haunting me"

"And deep in my soul I know you are mine"

"And my heart belongs to you"

I'm Krishnamurthy from Washington DC

I'm Nachiappan from Karaikudi

Is that so? When did you settle down here?

When my twins were babies I came here as a chef

By God's grace, I now own this restaurant and I'm settled here

Are they your sons? Very smart twins, sir

They're both studying medicine

They give me a hand here in the evenings

Coffee for you, boss

Hello, sir

My American friend Michael Solomon loves your food

He's hosting a party tomorrow

Can you prepare Indian food for 20 people and supply?

Tomorrow...? I'm very sorry, sir

We close for the week end

My sons and I work without a moment's rest all week through

We won't get even 5 minutes to relax together

So weekends we take a break and escape

"Columbus Columbus Vacation for us"

"Please discover, Columbus an island to kick up our heels"

"Hey dude...!"

"Columbus Columbus Time off for us"

"Uncover an island, Columbus where fun overflows"

"Rest, recess, relaxation We want an island for recreation"

"Leave, holiday, vacation We want an island for celebration"

"Columbus Columbus Party time for us"

"Unearth please, Columbus an island for us to carouse"

"Columbus Columbus Fun time for us"

"Hey pardner!"

"Columbus, locate an island for a happy time on hand"

"Rest, recess, recreation We require an island for relaxation"

"Leave, holiday, vacation An island to enjoy in jubilation"

"What do weekends whisper in our ear?"

"Machines as men volunteer"

"Murder with missiles by the army"

"Famine, hunger and politics dirty"

"Columbus, can you give us an island without pollution as an occupant?"

"Columbus"

"5 days in a week sweat and toil, no break"

"Weekend for sure 2 days to enjoy nature"

"Steal flowers disguised as breeze Whitewash your minds please"

"We become kids once more playing with waves ashore"

"Fly high in the sky if you get birds' feathers on rent"

"As birds don't need any passport you can cross continents in comfort"

"We are occupied with only relaxation But we don't tire of this occupation"

"We can swim here like fishes with nirvana as wish list"

"Columbus"

"Hey brother!"

"Take a look at these 2 legged flowers Change quickly into the role of lovers"

"Froth of the waves, can you gather to swathe her in it altogether?"

"Can't you pluck the stars to sew as hooks on her dress new?"

"If your girl nods her head make out in the week end"

"Love for time pass, is it? Make love till you split"

"Weekend of rest Live life to the fullest"

"Columbus"

"Columbus Columbus Vacation for us"

"Columbus, find us alone an island to let our hair down"

"Columbus"

"Rest, recess, recreation We want an island for celebration"

"Columbus"

"Leave, holiday, vacation We need an island for rejuvenation"

"Columbus"

Ramu, I'll give these food packets to the staff

You deliver this to the in flight service

Check properly, da

God! Where did you keep the address?

It was in my pocket

I don't know how it can be missing

What is your problem?

We've lost our American address

Without knowing the exact address of where you are going to stay...

...we will never allow you inside USA

Madhu, is he asking us to go back to India?

Give him contact details of Sivasu uncle

If you just flounder...okay, let me talk to him

She is a patient

For my operation-

That's what he has lost!

Are you Tamilians?

I'm Vishwanathan What's the problem?

Ahaaa! You are from our Tamil Nadu

God has sent-

Grandma...pleeeease Be quiet

I got excited because he spoke Tamil

I'm Madhumitha

This is my brother Madhesh She's my grandma Krishnaveni

She is scheduled for a surgery here

In my head

So we've come from Madras

My brother misplaced uncle Sivasu's address

That's why we are stuck here in Immigration

I'll take care Don't worry

Here's my I.D

Thank God!

Phew?!

Are these edible?

All vegetables

That's shrimp pickle

This is cut mango pickle

This is peanut candy

That's tamarind paste

This...show it to me properly

Shredded mango pickle

Aiyo! Aiyooo! Bro...stop trashing them

What happened?

You came in the nick of time

Please tell him all this is for me to eat

Bro...he'll explain in English to you

Grandma...they won't let you take all this because they contain bacteria

I'll die without pickles, son

I'll give you whatever pickle you want

Visu, make sure we get out of here in 1 piece!

May God bless you

Walk fast Don't keep gawking!

Me...gawking!!

Aiyaiyo! My feet seem to slip

Grandma...watch your step

Climb up fast

As if this is your 1st time in an airport!

My head is splitting

I think he has just vanished into thin air

Go slow, grandma

God! Look at that!! He's on that side now

Don't be so unrefined and yell at the top of your voice

Shut up if you can't speak English like me!

Don't let him disappear again

Grandma...grandMA

- What now? - Gents' toilet

No wonder he was in a tearing hurry

Go and grab hi-

What?!

I meant he'll vanish Go and get him

Hiii!

You just couldn't hold it, no?

Oh! Tamilian?

As if I was speaking Telugu all this while?!

What's your name?

Amnesia, huh?

Madhesh

Magesh?

MAAADESHHHH!

HOW IS THAT?!

Ouch!

There he is

Come fast

We are right behind you

Slow down, son

He has vanished

He's missing again

AiyaiyO! What do we do?

Magesh?

MAdhesh!

I was looking all over for you

We should be saying that to you!

It's okay

Did you get through to Madras?

I couldn't...you try I'll be right back

Where are you off to now?

Relieve myself Over there

- In there again? - In there only

Hello...?

Don't let go of him

Ramu, where are you?

Out gate?

A Tamil family got stuck in Immigration here

3 of them...Madhumitha, her bro Magesh and grandma Krishnaveni

I helped them out

Just check if there's someone called Sivasubramaniam out there

Yes, Tamilian Otherwise book a taxi

We'll somehow find his address and send them

They are waiting in the lounge

Will you come there?

Excuse me...?

OH!

Mr Magesh?

Madhesh MAADHESH...!

That's alright

No, it's NOT alright

Madhesh is a glorified name in our Tamil literature

Just get it right once

Mr Magesh?

Yov! Don't bug me

Excuse me!

Shut up, sir

Confused? We are twins

I'm Vishwanathan He's Ramamurthy

You look ditto same

No wonder you took turns rushing into the bathroom

Usually people get confused

Ramu, could you find Sivasubramaniam?

No...that's why I booked a taxi for them

AiyaiyO! Where will we go?

Madhumitha, I got your Madras number

Get your uncle's address

Wretched fellow! He let us down so badly

God help us

What happened?

Uncle Sivasu is not in town

He has given me his apartment address

Thanks a ton

Never mind

This is my business card You can reach me anytime

Where is your grandma getting operated?

ULA

Oh! We study in that very same campus

We'll meet you often

We came all the way here depending on Sivasubbaiyar

What the hell is wrong with that wretched idiot?

In Madras, he used to follow me like a lamb claiming I'm his sister

Here I am, a patient in need of real good care

I've traveled 20,000 miles

Did it occur to him to be responsible and meet us here?

He didn't even want us staying with him in his own house

As if we are some random strangers he has sent us to this rented place

Will he prosper?

Grandma...your dinner

What is it?

AiyaiyO! I ate this stale bun in the plane for 24 hours

My taste buds are dead

Even if I wish to eat anything spicy...

...those blessed Customs officials trashed all my pickle bottles!

I don't want dinner

Who on earth named this the land of milk and honey?!

I'd be better off dying in my own country

Madhu...?

AiyO! Madhu...! I can't bear this pain

Madhu dear...?

Grandma...!

You go and pay up

Madhu, when is the operation?

Day after tomorrow

Grandma, sign here

Why?

It is just a formality Go on, sign

- Grandma, sign - Okay

Tell me please Why did you ask me to sign?

This is a general procedure

Procedure for what?

Incase something untoward happens they won't take responsiblit-

They think something like that will happen?

- No, grandma - They think I'll die?

I know I'll die

Death is knocking at my door

As soon as the laser touches my brain, I'll be dead and gone

I have only today to live

Last day of my life

Pleaassse, grandma

I know it

Isn't this place as bare as a graveyard?

This antiseptic smell Doctors...beep beep sound

Saline...bandage...cotton I don't want to die this way

Take me out somewhere

Anywhere...take me to any cinema, drama, shopping, beach

I'll live my last day to the fullest and then...

...shut my eyes tight and sleep

Then these doctors can do whatever they want to me

Madhu, it's not enough to live happily

Even death should be pain-free

I don't want to stay here

Take me out, Madhu

They are very strict here

How can we step out?

Somehow Think of something

If you don't, I'll die in disgust before my surgery, my dear

I'll die right now

Grandma, don't cry Let me try and arrange

Take a seat

That's me...tell me What brings you here?

Can I trouble you for a favor?

Will you come with me?

Can I come after class?

Oh! How long will you take?

Seems urgent Go with her

I'll attend the class for you We'll discuss when you get back

Thank you

On the right side of the brain, a small tumor

Is it very serious?

In India...yes

This operation here is as simple as chewing gum

Don't worry

I'm not, my grandma is chewing my brain out!

She's very restless

She hates the hospital atmosphere

She wants me to take her out

But they won't discharge her now

They are very strict

Even if we could get out we don't know where to go

Neither do we know anyone else

That's why I wanted to ask you for a favor

Put on a brave front

There he is!

Bye?!

Ignore...let's escape

Get in quick

You said you'd show me around America? Is this it?

Can anyone fool you, Krishnaveni?!

This is our hotel, grandma

Oho! Welcome to my humble abode

This is my dad, Nachiappan

Grandma's name is Krishnaveni

Madhumitha and Madhesh

Magesh?

No...MAdhesh...maDhesh...MADHESH!

So sad! Is this young man the one getting operated?!

Crow-beaked fellow...NO!

Hey! Don't be rude Watch your tongue?!

- Don't scold him - Forgive him

Not eating good food must have numbed his tongue!

1st eat to your stomach's content Half your sickness will be digested!

Ramu...come

Hi Grandma

Hi Madhesh

Don't be a glutton

Enough

Food seems oily Can my grandma eat all this?

Don't worry

Only after a stomach wash they'll start her surgery

So don't restrain her I'll take care

Hi everybody

All Juno special

Eat heartily

Serve me 'Yojimbo'

Take it 'Somali'

Super feast

For all this food to digest we must get up and dance!

Who is stopping you? Please do!

Oh God...at this age? It was a figure of speech...!

This is a typical Indian woman's attitude!

They'll want to dance but they'll bottle that desire inside

But look at this country

60 year old women here ballet dance gracefully!

Get up and dance

- You are just... - Get up and dance!

- Grandma, get up and dance - No, don't be silly

Oh! Let me go

Making me dance and all

Okay, forget dancing Why don't you sing?

- I don't know how to sing - I know how to make her start

Come...come here

Start...ohhhhooO!

Madhesh

Don't worry We'll pray for you

Don't be scared Nothing will happen

Are you Karishma Nichani?

Very good

It'll be quite a while for the operation to finish

Why should all of you wait here unnecessarily?

You can go back to the restaurant

I'll take care of things here

No...no...nothing of the sort, dear!

You need a person with you in case of an emergency

Let Visu be here with you for moral support

I'll send food for you through Madhesh

- Water...? - Thanks

This brain operation is a complicated one

Even though doctors are skilled and efficient...

...the patient's mental strength is the key factor

Your grandmother is 60 years old

Her strength is only that of a 60 year old

Don't worry She's alive

But she can't talk, nor can she sit up

If you take good care of her, she'll be fine...but in bed

Grandma

I'm Madhu here

Grandma, look at me

I'm your Madhu here Please say something

Call my name, grandma

Can you hear what I'm saying?

Can you hear me?

Why?

Visu, why is grandma lying there like this?

You praised this hospital sky high!

They've left her here like she's some food parcel

Was it wrong to bring her to the USA to be operated?

We could have just stayed in Madras instead

At least she'd have been mobile for however long she had left

Why did this happen, Visu?

Such a stupid thing to do

Coming here was a mistake!

Grandma...?

Look at me, grandma

Look at me

What's wrong, Visu?

Idiots...they have bungled the surgery

They've goofed up...big time

What are you saying?

Didn't she complain of pain on the right side?

They've operated on the left!

Mr Vishwanathan, what are you saying?

You're still a student

He's an experienced doctor

What did you find out that you are blowing your top off?

Instead of the right side...

...you've operated on the left!

That's impossible

That's the mistake

Instead of Krishnaveni's records he has taken another patient's records

Karishma Nichani And blotched it

I asked if she was Karishma Nichani!

And she said 'yes'!

When the patient is in the operation theater...

...how can you even ask the patient her name?!

She wouldn't have understood your American accent

Both names would have meant the same to her

He says he operated after confirmation from a scared, sedated old lady?!

Is this called justice?

How did the case sheet change?

Will grandma walk again because he has apologized?

For the patient and her granddaughter...

...going through this trauma, I plan to sue the hospital

Dad, this is Madhu

Grandma's operation is over

She's completely okay She talks really well now

She'll be up and about soon

Yes, she's embarrassed

That's why I've asked for a wig like her original hairdo

We are all fine

Don't worry about anything

I'll call you later Bye, dad

What is it, Visu?

2 million dollars

- I don't understand - Compensation

The hospital is ready to compensate and apologize...

...instead of going through a law suit

Thank you, Visu

But you've brought grandma back That's what I'm happiest about

$100 million happiness

I'm very happy

Grandma, they are here

Make them sit inside

I'll join you

Ahaaa! Awesome masala smell

Come...welcome

Grandma, started cooking the moment you recovered?

- How are you? - We are fine

- Visu...which one is Visu? - Me, grandma...

- How are you? - I'm fine

- Ramu, how are you? - I'm good, grandma

- Juno, how are you? - I'm very good, grandma!

Not fair, grandma!

Why take so much trouble?

Calling us so many times and inviting us over to eat

It's not fair at all, grandma

Everything is fair and fine

Heart, mind, body All thanks to you

But for you and your sons, I'd be 'dust to dust' by now

Shouldn't I thank you?

We'll be going back to India tomorrow

Once...just once...I want you to eat what I've cooked...

...to your hearts' content Only then will I be happy

Visu, try this mutton ball

- Thanks - Is it good?

Tell me, Ramu, how's the food?

I've never eaten such yummy food, grandma

Do you like Vishwanathan and Ramamurthi's songs?

Very much, I have a huge collection of their songs

- Shall we play 'Antakshari'? - What is that?

Song for a song We take turns

- Who'll sing first? - Me!

But not that ancient fruit song again

No, I won't!

"Tamil flows from her like honey Shining moon and cheerful vine is she"

"From her vintage lips, sweet wine in shyness she offers divine"

"Tamil flows from her like honey Shining moon-"

Krishnaveni ma'am has stopped with 'aa'

Nachiappan sir, you must sing a song beginning with 'aa' now

"Behold that bird! Emulate its life so free Like these rising waves, dance carefree"

"Under one blue sky, reside on our green earth wide"

"Sing in unison our song of freedom"

"Lalalaa...lalaa laa...!"

He has also stopped with 'aa'

"Rakkamma, clap your hands along to this new tune and sing a song"

"Midnight cockerel, my dearest knock at this beloved's chest"

"Hey! Erect a canopy bedecked string a garland of roses red"

"Adorn the roses on your wife's shoulder"

"Make soulful music night long together"

"This love restrained not my rejoinder"

"Who is the beau to make me surrender?"

Finally, it's our friend Juno's turn Please start the song with 'sae' or 'sa'

If I sing, all of you will get up and stand

We stand or run we'll handle that later

First sing

- Start with 'sa', right? - Oh no!

'Sa...'!

"No place in the world can compete With India, our motherland replete"

"We are Her nightingales free and this is our garden of victory"

"No place on earth is as sublime as India, our dear country Divine"

Krishnaveni-ma, we have reached the airport now

I want to say the usual thing

Please send a letter as soon as you land

- Before that, call us - Definitely

Instead of lying in a coffin...

...your boys are responsible for my present good health

How can I forget this?

Buying a gift or cooking for you won't be enough

I feel unexpressed even after thanking you

Instead, I want to take care of you for 2 or 3 months in my own house

Feed you to my heart's content Only then I'll be happy

We'll definitely turn up if that opportunity arises

Don't hesitate

Juno, you should come too

For sure, ma'am Find a bride for me

She needn't be Miss India

If she's average looking like our Madumitha, will do

Madumitha, did you hear what he said?

No...what did he say?

Madhu, have you forgotten us already?

What has happened to you?

I feel like I'm leaving something behind, uncle

No...we counted your luggage properly

Yes...it's okay

Madhu, let's get our boarding pass

Passports, please

I need to talk to you

Go ahead

I didn't realize all along

But now that I'm leaving I need to tell you how I feel

Excuse me...?

You are Vishwanathan, right?

No, I'm Ramamurthy

What is it? Tell me

Nothing

I forgot what I wanted to say

You want to talk to Visu?

Try to remember I'll send him here

Visu, Madhu wants to talk to you She's waiting for you, find out what

Madhu...Madhumitha

I'm Visu

It seems you wanted to talk to me?

That is...

I...

I...

Hi, Madhu!

Why are you staring at me like I'm a villain?

I'm Uncle Sivasubramaniam

Sivasu uncle

It's so great to see you here

Where's my 'sister'?

She's over there

Come...come Let's meet her

Hi, 'sister'

Krishnaveni 'sister' I'm Sivasu!

Yuck...let me go Don't try to pacify me

What's the use of turning up now when the calamity is over?!

To say bye or what?

- No, sister...! - Get lost!

I had to go to Alaska on an urgent assignment

What job was more important than me?

It was an appointment I fixed a year ago

I couldn't change it They'll get me wrong

But you can go back on your word?

Be ungrateful?! That isn't wrong?

Thank God we found Nachiappan's family

They were truly our Rock of Gibraltar

Shall we all take a group photo?

Excuse me, can you click a photo, please?

Come close

Madhesh, let's stand together

Smile

The other way

Okay, don't just stand here Proceed to security check

What happened, Juno?

I feel awful about them leaving though we knew them for a short while

Come quickly It's getting late

Why are you in such a hurry?

Are you waiting for someone?

No

Then, let's go inside

I'll call you, bye

Grandma, give me a minute

Madhu...Madhu...come

"Though we are apart, you are in my heart"

"Sweet memories keep haunting me"

"And deep in my soul, I know you are mine"

"And my heart belongs to you"

- Yeah, it's dead - But it is my life!

Visu, you are here? Where did you disappear?

Everybody has been looking for you

You seem upset

I don't know how to say it

It seemed ordinary when we were together

Now that she has gone...

...my heart seems tattered and shattered

You are such an idiot!

You wasted whole morning

And now weeping over this flower!!

You are made for each other

Don't worry

We'll catch her somehow before she boards the flight

Dear boys, look...your grandma is back like a good penny!

What happened, gran?

My body is to blame

That's why I 'boomeranged' here

What's wrong, grandma?

My head...it's splitting into 2

Oh my God!

AiyaiyO! I can't bear the pain

Gran...grandma!

Doctor said I needed to rest and asked us to cancel our trip

Madhu jumped at the idea and called Nachiappan immediately

I asked them to come here directly

You claim you almost died of head ache at the airport

Yes, I did

How come...here you are, full of life giving us a detailed flash back report?

Joy of reuniting with all of you

Now that you've reminded me...

...I can feel a slight pain at the back of my head

Madhu...let your grandma sleep now, she needs the rest

Did I faint for you to twiddle your thumbs?!

Grandma...?

I went on a dizzy spell That's why I fainted

Just the joy of finding Madhu here I'm so dumbstruck and dazed

You can play your dizzy games later

First, go now and profess your love to her

In the middle of the night?

Yes

With her grandma next to her?!

I'll take care of that

At my age I can only faint

As if I can say 'I love you'?!

Grandma...?

I'm Ramamurthy!

Visu wants to talk to you

Can you meet him at the swimming pool?

Madhu...I...!

I...I lo-

I understand

Me too

"For me Specially?"

"For me Exclusively?"

"Have you been made for me?"

"Madhumitha...!"

"Is this Taj Mahal, world's wonder weighing 50 kg for me I wonder?"

"Orchard that flew in for me Is she mine specifically?"

"Is this silver moon pocket size for me to monopolize?"

"Faxed feminine poetry Is she mine particularly?"

"Can I drape you all over me? Can I lie on your lips lovingly?"

"Satin petalled flower, island small made Grant me a wish to touch your waist"

"Is this Taj Mahal, world's wonder weighing 50kg for me I ponder?"

"Garden that flew in for me Is she mine absolutely?"

"Love, let us go on foot gracefully around America, just you and me"

"Spreading a red carpet over the sea let us sojourn in Europe serenely?"

"To pen the glory of our love soulfully"

"Let's wake up immediately dead poets Byron and Shelley"

"You cross the skies and jump to revitalize"

"When with you what happens to me I rejoice with you in riotous revelry"

"In your fervent love fervor the billowing wind you savor"

"Has the boy's mind gone loony? Wonder what's my destiny?"

"The pleasant breeze is aged Our planet earth is ancient"

"What if aeons pass us by love can never be past its prime"

"Wind that stole the cherry flowers whispered 'I love you' in my ears"

"The bird capering on the cyprus tree tweeted 'I love you' to me chirpily"

"As soon as you professed your love..."

"The wind and the birdie wilted went teary eyed lovelorn jilted"

"Flowers waiting stubborn steadfast to dance in your tresses at long last"

"Garland, with flower can I adorn your hair?"

"Did the raindrop to the soil sweep only to play and tease your cheeks?"

"Shall I also make love to you?"

"Even if the heart stops to beat for a minute or two life doesn't retreat"

"But love, if you suddenly abscond I can't bear it even for a second"

"Is this Taj Mahal, world's wonder weighing 50 kg for me I wonder?"

"Hothouse that flew in for me Is she mine specifically?"

"This silver moon pocket size is for you to monopolize!"

"Faxed feminine poetry is all yours exclusively!"

"Can I drape you all over me? Can I lie on your lips lovingly?"

"Shall we get drenched in a rain of kisses Shall we dry ourselves with my tresses"

"Satin petalled flower, island small made Grant me a wish to touch your waist"

2 dollars

Juno, if you win, $4 If you lose, $2

At least today we hope you can identify us right

Just watch...I'll get it right

Eenie meenie minie moe...Visu

Wrong again

I'm Ramu He's Visu

God...won't You please show mercy on me!?

Doesn't seem like you will get it right in this birth

Looks like you'll bequeath your savings to me totally

Ramu...let me see those coins

Why?

Let me take one last look at what I lost

Get lost, you mixed up duo!

I won't give it back

Ask your dad to reimburse

I felt like talking to you this morning at 5!

I walked into your room to find both of you fast asleep

Visu...?

I thought of waking you up

But I didn't want to wake up the wrong twin!

So I went back to bed

Whom do you think you are talking to now?!

Visu...you are Visu, right?

Wrong, I am Ramu

You just now told Juno you are Visu

That was a lie

Every morning we wager a bet asking him to identify us right

Most often he will be wrong

But sometimes, sheer luck he will hit the jackpot!

We won't agree We'll confuse him further

Beauty is you also got confused!

I'll send my bro here

Hi Madhu

Have you been waiting for long?

I came here just now

I've also got you something

- Fantastic! - You like it?

For Ramu?

Why are they different in color?

I got mixed up this morning when I walked into your room

I got fooled in your dollar bet with Juno

It was so embarrassing

I should be able to identify my Visu without being confused

We've dressed this way for 21 years...we can't change

My dad, bro or I won't be able to digest this new dress code

But what about my predicament?

What if I blabber something to Ramu thinking he is you?!

That's what you don't understand

Ramu is a gem

He'll immediately identify himself to you

Just for a while

Till I am able to recognize you without being told...can't you help me?

To change a lifetime habit just because you are confused...

...on no account is justified, Madhu

As if it's the end of the world?

So what...if Visu didn't accept your gift?

As if we cannot differentiate them

1 blow!

I'll fracture the younger brother's arm with 1 blow

His hand will be in a sling You can easily identify then!

Okay?

Only you can think of some crazy scheme like this...!

Get lost You madcap!

They won't be able to understand you, Madhesh!

Please don't have such a long face, my dear

When you get to know him really well you'll yourself guess right all the time!

I can't, grandma

I'm forever paranoid of mixing them up

I can't even look at Visu's face properly

I can't speak freely to him

When this is such a problem how will I ever get to know him?!

But, my dear-

First, stop calling me silly degrading names

This ball will clean bowl them!

You want to recognize Visu, no?

I've got an idea that will work at least for 6 months

A soooper God-offered brainwave

I'll go and get them!

Left is Visu Right is Ramu

Left sleeps the older brother On the right is the younger bro

Like Lava and Kusa Twin sons of Lord Rama

Offering to the Omnipresent God

Kusa going in for this sanctified ritual

Offering to the Lord of Thirupathy!

Tell me why you wanted to tonsure my son's head?

If you don't tell me...?

Madhu is unable to distinguish between Visu and Ramu

Why should she differentiate?

Because...Masu...Vidhu

Because Midhu and Vasu are-

Stop blabbering and tell me properly

Okay...okay, I will

Visu and my sis love each other

Krishnaveni madam, you came here because you were not well

Now that you've recovered, please go back to India

Don't complicate my life with love, marriage and all that

What's wrong?

My granddaughter loves your son

Your son reciprocates her love, no?

That's why I came here to discuss this proposal

I make the decision here

And I say this marriage won't happen

Why not? What does she lack?

Beauty...education or affluence?

Affluence is not a problem at all

Are you caste conscious?

No...not that

Just because she fell in love do you think she lacks morals?

Your granddaughter is 24 carat pure gold

But she's not the right match

Why are you being so bull headed, Mr Nachiappan?

Are you blindly opposing love like so many parents mindlessly do?

I have my reasons I'm not pig headed

I'm also a twin We were Siamese twins

'Nachiappan-Pechiappan military hotel'

Nachiappan bro 2 dosa (pancake)

Get me some water to drink

4 idlis each, 2 mutton gravy 2 dried fish, 2 fried fish

4 idlis each, 2 dried fish, 2 fried fish...that's all, right?

Pay Rs 8:50

You've calculated 1 rupee short

My sister-in-law must be right, pay Rs 9:50 then

Pechiappa, your elder brother is roasting in the kitchen to earn money

Yes, he does

If you lose money in every bill that's it, your hotel will close down

Kaliappan bro...you finished eating

We haven't taken an extra paisa from you

Then why are you wagging your tongue?

Go home straight

Bro, why do you give them a chance to ridicule you?

After all, simple mathematics

Can't you be more careful?

No, sister-in-law-

What's wrong...just 1 Re short Did he commit some huge crime?!

Even my husband is a partner

How dare you yell at him like he is some hired help?!

When did I yell at him?

Didn't you accuse him of not knowing basic mathematics?!

What will people around think of him?

Why are you getting so worked up?

Even if you wanted to criticize, you should ask your husband to

You shouldn't reprimand him

Shouldn't you respect him?

Sundaram, why make a mountain out of a mole-

She'll blame your addition today Tomorrow it will be subtraction

Damned if you did and darned if you didn't!!

Then she'll take you for granted and ride rough shod over your feelings

This is becoming a routine mud slinging match!

If you pounce at the least excuse, will our hotel business prosper?

Or will our family be united?

Yes, you are the sole person responsible for our prosperity

We are twiddling our thumbs and making a mess here

Your tongue is crossing limits!

Why...will it suit you if I am as dumb as my husband?!

Please don't malign my brother I look upon him like God

To me, my husband is God

Do you expect me to shut up when she rants and raves at you?

My dear lady, I won't utter a single word

Forgive me

If we give an inch, you'll take a yard!

Enough...Sundaram, go inside

You too go and attend to your work

Bro, I am fit for nothing

I can't even add with my fingers

I'm the sole reason for all this fighting

I have no clue what to do

You are my little brother I accept you as you are

But I can't bear to see you cry

Wipe your face and get back to work

'Tuesday holiday'

I'll take leave, my dear

I feel kind of weird, dear

I feel squeamish

I may even deliver before you get back

Aiyaiyo...then I'll stay behind

You'll need help if it happens all of a sudden, no?

I can send Pechiappan with the grocery list instead

Oh! Don't do that He can be easily fooled

They'll dump a goat minus its horn and chicken that's not fresh on him

Instead of 10 items he will get only 8

You'll have to make a wasted 2nd trip

- You go, dear - I'll come back soon

Brother, will you come here for a minute?

- What is it, sister-in-law? - I don't know what it is

From morning I've been feeling breathless

- Will you buy a soda for me? - I'll get you soda in a second

Yov! Listen

You are running like some dog at her wish and command

Where are you off to?

To get a soda for my sister-in-

Oh! You don't know how to buy a goat or a chicken

But you know how to buy a soda, is it?!

Get me water from the well I need to wash my face

Tell her to buy soda herself

Sundaram, how can you say this?

She's saying she is feeling breathless, no?

She's a drama queen

Which female won't like to order her naive brother-in-law like this?

Go and do your work

Why are you adding motives to me helping my brother's pregnant wife?

Yov! Is that why you are helping her?

You are running to her aid because she looks good?

Don't be so suspicious!

Shouldn't you, being a woman, understand her plight?

She has got you under her spell

One man isn't enough for her

A husband to satisfy her taste buds and a brother-in-law to coochey coo!

She has bewitched both of you and you are dying to pamper her

Stop! No one can win any argument with you

I'll buy soda and then you can keep yelling at me all day happily

Yov! If you take another step, our marriage is over

No one has to lose anything I'll go buy my own soda

I can't listen to such nasty words

I'm begging you to stop being so harsh

One soda

Here...hold

What happened?!

She's pregnant and in pain

Oh God!

My dear princess You've left me all alone

My little one...!

Nachiappa...!

Brother...brother I killed her!

I was the one who killed her

I was responsible for her death by listening to my wife!

All she asked me was to get her a soda

And my blessed wife bullied me like a vicious viper with allegations

Your wife didn't die due to child birth

She died unable to bear the insults my wife flung at her

Brother, I have a devil as a wife

She died not wanting to put up with my wife's evil tongue!

Look! I have made these 2 new born babies motherless

Brother...I killed my sister-in-law

Kill me...slice me into pieces, brother!

Not even a blade of grass will grow where I'm buried

Kill me for the sin I've committed, brother

Have you all bathed?

Look to the east and apply sacred ash on your forehead

Both babies are beautiful replicas

How could she have the heart to leave them?

Mariappan is waiting for the clothes

Pay the men who helped erect the canopy

Nachiappa...enough of this torture and anguish

I gave you my daughter Your brother and his wife killed her

Wretched people! You killed my daughter

Let me take these babies I'll raise them myself

How will they be well cared by this woman...

...who denied my daughter a bottle of soda?!

Enough of this torment

Get up! Is it your wife who died?

Why are you sitting as if it is the end of the world for you?

Get up Get up now!

Everyone on the road will call us killers and you expect me to listen?

Whom do you mean as a passerby on the road?

Shut up!

Even if we live or work under a tree, my dignity will be intact

We don't need this roof!

Walk out now

Ask them to split the property Let them give you what is yours

Is this how you talk at a funeral? My brother is devastated already

Oh! Blood is thicker than water!

Are you going to be here for the rest of your life and sing lullabies?

When she was alive, you waited hand and foot on her

Now are you planning to raise her children?

Tomorrow when no one is around, if something happens to the kids...

...they'll blame us again

No need, ask them for your share in the property

I won't leave my brother

I won't take even one step forward and oppose him

Then let go of me

Rather than being the wife of an useless nitwit...

...I'd rather be the mistress of an intelligent man

If that's what you want then go ahead and do it

Wait! What is this?

Who taught you to behave like this?

Always intent on separation

These things shouldn't happen in good families

What do you want?

This house, the shop and our money, that's all?

Keep it Keep all of it

This shameless woman is asking for it and you are indulging her!

You shouldn't even give her a proper funeral!

Let her go to hell, brother

Do we get married to be divorced?

We must stay together and adjust till the end

That's how a family should be

As long as I'm alive, our shop should not split

Neither should your family

Brother...?

Just because that shameless hussy was so inhuman...

...how will he raise these 2 babies by himself?

All of you are watching

Stop him

Brother...don't leave me

Look how a happy family is now getting split with such grief

Oh God! My son is leaving me

Brother, don't go

You are both twins!

If only you had married sisters...

...they'd have lent a hand and stuck together always

You didn't listen to me!

When you should be living in comfort you are going away like an orphan!

Brother...don't leave me

I'm comfortable here with all this affluence

But my brother is struggling there

This happened only because we married into different families

That mistake shouldn't be repeated in my lifetime

That's why I decided to only get my sons married to twins!

There's no way I'll change my mind!

Good Lord!

Mr Nachiappan

I never thought my problem would be so easily solved

What are you saying?

Whatever I had bottled up inside me...

...you said it out loud!

My granddaughter Madhumitha also has a twin

What you say sounds like a film dialog!

Reel life and real life are inter connected!

Sometimes life has more twists and turns than a film!

When her mother had conceived her stomach was really huge

Her father was immersed in horoscope and astrology

Astrologer predicted twins and prophesied...

'If the twins are boys you'll live like royalty...'

'If they turn out to be girls you'll die at 40'

Her dad being a real brute like a monkey stung by a scorpion...

...he kept circling the hospital with a sickle in his hand

Both turned out to be girls just as we feared

Scared that he might even kill the baby...

...I bundled up one baby with some cash and handed her over to our cook

I requested him not to show his face till her dad turned 40

Nachiappan...her name is Vaishnavi

Her younger sister

She is studying in a college in Kodaikanal

How can I believe this story?

Just a moment

I swear on this divine camphor!

Now tell me, will you approve this alliance?

The moment you swore they are twins...

...I made up my mind wholeheartedly

Grandma...!

Juno, what's the twin's name?

Vaishnavi

Vaish...Vaishu

Ramu...Vaishu Beautiful!

I like that very much

Whaaaat?!

Madhumitha is not a twin?

Conspiracy queen!

Shut up, you idiot

Grandma, you aren't making sense at all

I don't have a twin

No, you don't

Haven't our elders said, we can fib 1000 times to fix 1 wedding?

What have you got us into, grandma?

This isn't something to be so casual about

God knows what mess it will land us into?

1 more lie will solve it

1st we can get you and Visu married

Right after the wedding, we can say the twin died of jaundice

Or claim she eloped with someone and close the chapter

But it's really wrong to do something like this

I've sworn on God literally!

Nachiappan will fly with us to India to see the girl who doesn't exist!

Oh God!

Till your wedding, both of you keep your lips tightly zipped

Or else you're dead meat

Hi Madhu

Hi daddy

Madhesh...how are you?

At least in USA did you shower daily?

How are you, ma?

I owe my good health to all of them

Good evening

He is Mr Nachiappan

I am Vellaiappan

I'll tell them

No ma, let me introduce myself

My name is Vellaiappan Everything about me is white

My coat, pants everything on me

My heart is white and so is my bank account

I don't know to lie

Are you Vishwanathan Ramamurthy?

Mr Nachiappan, I'm so glad to see them

If I had twin daughters like your twin sons...

...I'd have got my twins married to yours so as not to be indebted

But what to do? I have just one daughter

You were scared your wife would give birth to twins

Now you're saying, you will get them married to these boys?

What problem? Why was I scared?

- Juno... - Grandma, 1 minute

When this auntie was pregnant...

...didn't this uncle roam around the whole place with a sickle?

Yes, he did

What do you mean 'yes'?

Juno!

Now how are you saying you'll get them married?

Jigsaw doesn't fit!

Why did you threaten everyone with a sickle when I was pregnant?

- When did I do that? - You always forget everything

When she was pregnant...

...weren't you tensed and going around in circles?

Yes

I told them all those stories

That's what he's also asking

But what about that sickle, ma?

Why are you making these people stand outside so disrespectfully?

Go show them their room

You go show Visu and Ramu their rooms

Oh God! Save me

Ma, about the sickle-

Why do you forget everything?

You vowed to offer a sickle to God when your wife was expecting

That's what he is enquiring about

Madhumitha, take your dad inside

Grandma, don't confuse everything

I'll kill you

1st you said he picked up a sickle to kill the child

Now you changed it as God's offering

How? Tell me

Be quiet

What is this, Mr Nachiappan?

My son doesn't even know Vaishnavi is alive

If Juno blabbers something and my son goes and kills Vaishu?

Oh no! Vaishu

Then the wedding will be stopped

And none of us have seen Vaishnavi yet

Uncle doesn't know where Vaishnavi is

So how could he kill her?

Juno, shut up please

Juno, be quiet

Why are you being so rude?

She's already saying Vaishu's life is in danger

If you blabber, we may never get to see Vaishu

Just that we need to know where she is-

Just zip your lips

Sickle in his hand...death at 40 years Astrology mania...Vaishnavi...twins

Kodaikanal

Ma, will I never get food again?

Why...what's wrong with you?

You brought me up saying liars never get fed, ma

If I lie the way you're asking me to...

...let alone snacks I won't even get coffee

Are you having a dig at me?

It comes naturally to you, sequentially like railway carriages

Astrology...twins...Kodaikanal

And then you say Vaishnavi Huhm...I won't even get water

Don't speak like a nitwit

Your daughter fell in love with him

Duty of elders is to get their children married to the people they love

Nothing wrong with lying

Now tell me, how many daughters do you have?

1 daughter

- 2 daughters - Say it properly

If you have 1 daughter, then it is 1 If you have 2, then there will be 2

But only 1 is alive

Hey...!

No, another daughter may have been born

Or maybe not

May have died after being born

Or may have died without being born

Or could have been born without me even knowing

Someone else could have raised her

Over all, I have 1 daughter, my wife has 1 daughter

- Hey...! - Adds up to 2, ma

It's alright if you don't lie properly

But until she gets married keep blabbering like this

I'll somehow manage

- What about you? - I can lie glibly

But I don't lie only on days I follow my vow strictly

When is that?

Mondays is for Lord Shiva Tuesdays is for Lord Muruga

On Thursdays my vow is dedicated to-

- Super star Rajinikanth - No, Raghavendra swami

- Both are one and the same - Fridays for Goddess Durga

Saturdays are reserved for Venkatachalapathy

- Sundays for Mangadu deity - That's necessary

You can lie on Wednesday

I can, but if it falls on a new moon or full moon day...

...it will be tough

- Why do you take so many vows? - For your good health of course

Given a chance she'll walk on fire

But she's scared you'll yell at her

Why is your wife so fond of me?

Shall I buy neem leaves to exorcise the spirit in her?

- Shut up - No need?

Take another vow for all 7 days for your daughter to get married

What vow?

A vow of silence

Aunt...?

I told you to be quiet, right?

Why are you pelting me with stones?

What do you think of yourself?

You're coolly telling everyone Vaishnavi will land up now

Who will come, from where and how?

What kind of question is that? You are Vaishnavi

Me?

Yes...double action

Grandma...are you kidding?

That's cheating...betrayal

I can't do that

Keep collecting your love souvenirs of betel leaf stalks, fused batteries

...coke tins he sipped from!

Your father will get you married to someone else

Think of Visu in your heart...

...and make out with your husband

Isn't that cheating? Or betrayal?

That's disgusting!

Why are you torturing me?

It's not like that, sweetie

They want to see the other twin also

So you'll come as swift as the wind and vanish into thin air!

Madhu, for the sake of your love...

...there's nothing wrong with acting for just 2 days like somebody else

There she is

That's her Vaishnavi

You've grown so much My precious princess

How are you, my dear?

Do you remember me?

I'm your grandmother Krishnaveni

Oh grandma! Bless me

She's ditto Madhu

Do you know him? How will you?

Your dad, Vellaiappan

- Hello, madam - Keep quiet

Vaishnavi, this is your mother, Durga

Why are you just standing there?

This is your 2nd daughter, Vaishnavi

True, if you're born second, you're the 2nd daughter

If you're born first, you're the 1st daughter

If you're born 3rd, you're the 3rd daughter

If you're born 4th...

...all daughters are the same to me

Okay...okay

Dad, because of your astrological belief...

...you kept me away for 20 years unjustly

If Thyagu uncle hadn't been there for me, imagine my plight!

Even you didn't love me, ma?

Wow...vow!

You're not mute You're on a vow of silence

Look here This is Mr Nachiappan

He owns an Indian restaurant in USA

Greetings

- How is my granddaughter? - Like Goddess Lakshmi

This is Juno Head chef

Good day

- Something is amiss - That man missed hitting you

Flowers seem so fresh on your hair

As if you got into this train at the previous station...

...and got down at this one

- Bingo! - What, Juno?

Won't people buy flowers and freshen up before alighting?

She freshened herself to meet you people

This is my elder son, Visu He's a medical student

Good day

I'm marrying your sister

Oh...really?

I'm so happy to hear that, brother-in-law

Brother-in-law?

Sis-

She's meeting her after 20 years, right?

So she has gone to the temple to pray for her

Who is this?

How can you ask me that? I'm your brother, Madhesh!

Me...introduce me-

This is my 2nd son Ramu He is a twin like you

Good day

Super acting

If she's Krishna drama school then you're its tutorial

You even asked me who I was!

You hit a century in just one ball!

- Let me shake your hand - Stuff it...rubbish!

Only I know how my stomach has been somersaulting every minute

Madhu?

Madhu!

Next over is being bowled

The older twin Visu is knocking at your door

Go change your dress fast, dear

- God help me - Why are you standing here?

Go stall him somehow

Madhu? 1 minute

I'm coming

You go inside

- Hi Madhu - Hi Visu

You've been missing all morning

You didn't even come to the station

Sorry

I went to the temple, right? It was very crowded

By the time I came home, you guys got here

You're also speaking in an Iyer accent?

I was talking to my sister, right?

Cha...I mean I was talking to Vaishnavi

So her accent rubbed off on me

Okay, leave that

Did you talk to her about Ramu?

Does she like my brother?

Visu, she's just got here

We haven't even swapped stories about pre-school

We need to talk about school and college...

...and only then start the topic of marriage

For the next 2-3 days please don't disturb me

I'll talk to Vaishnavi

Sister-in-law It's me...Ramu

You? Here?

I came to see Vaishnavi

Vaishnavi is in the shower

1 minute

Vaishnavi?

Ramu wants to talk to you

- Come out fast, dear - It'll take another hour, sis

It's okay I'll wait

I'll call you when she's out

Why trouble yourself? You go...I'll manage

You can go

Get out

Such desperate drooler-brothers!

Hello?

Greetings

- You are? - I'm Ramu

Tell me

When I knew I'd meet you...

...I searched for a whole day in the U.S and I bought you this

Fashion's latest products

Hair dryer...makeup kit

Lipstick, all heroines in Hollywood use it

And perfume

Everything!

Do you like it?

You've gone through a lot of trouble to get all this for me

If you don't feel bad I'd like to say something

I don't use cosmetics

For my face I use green gram flour

And soap nut powder for my hair

Bengal gram flour for my body, that's all

Don't get me wrong But please take all this back

That's why you don't like it

All herbal organic products like flour and soap nut powder

Doctors in America are also suggesting herbal products now

This is the toy Madhu played with as a child, her pacifier

Milk bottle, this is the amulet on her hip as a new born baby

This is her school badge

And anklets she wore when she was 3!

This is the age old sipper she first drank milk in

Hey Visu!

- I felt really humiliated - What happened?

I bought Vaishu a lot of cosmetics from America

And she said she uses herbal products only

You've been foolish Take her somewhere alone

Sit and talk to her Get to know each other

Take her out alone?

I'm nervous

And you told me to be brave, huh!

Now it's your turn and you're shivering in your pants!

That's what love is

Sweet suffering

Sleep

Good day

Vaishu, shall I guess your favorite color?

Green

White

Shall I guess your lucky number?

- 7 - 1

I have to go

Shall I guess your favorite hero?

- Kamal Hassan? - No, Rajinikanth

What do you understand from this?

That you have misunderstood me

Because I don't know anything about you

So...?

So this evening we are going to hotel Park Sheraton

We'll eat, talk and get to know each other

Grandma...!

Grandma!

Who...?

Who is it?

I'm coming!

1 big bang on his head, that's it

And he'll be horizontal and dead as a dodo

You, sonny?

What, Ramu?

Nothing to worry, grandma I called Vaishu out to dinner

She got scared

That's all?

Vaishu, you go inside

Is she an American girl?

To go out with you as soon as you call her?

She's from a traditional Brahmin family

She had some program of going to the temple today

How can she come with you?

- She can't - Oh...temple?

Very much indeed

Grandma?

Tip top in a 'veshti' and dazzling silk shirt

- Where are you off to? - To the temple

Have a good time

- Call Vaishu - Why?

You said she's going to the temple this evening

That's why I thought...

...I'd accompany her and bring her back safely

Good God!

Yes, so please call her, grandma

She can't come

Why?

How can I tell you all this?

But why?

She can't come for 2 or 3 days

- Just understand - Why?

Stop asking me why

Women's stuff Just understand

It's okay, grandma I'll take her after 3 days

Okay?

See you, grandma

What a fix!

I'm coming

- I'm Ramu - What?

Your grandma told me

What?

Oh God! What about it?

I know girls don't like discussing all this

I know all about the cramps a girl goes through at this time

So I've brought the right medicine

Here you go

I know why you're hesitant You don't like English medicine

That's why I've also got you naturopathy

Fenugreek seeds

If you swallow a handful with water...

...in 10 minutes, your cramps will bid you cheerio!

Take this

Oh God!

Grandmaaaaa!

- Mr Vellaiappan, what is this? - Coconut rice

Not that

Your prodigal daughter has returned after 20 years

And you don't even seem delighted about it

Is something wrong?

There may be a problem or there may not be one

Can you laugh when you face a problem?

Or if you laugh will the problem ease?

Can you run away from a problem?

Or when you run away will the problem get solved?

If there is a problem it can only be huge!

You've said problem too many times today

We disqualify you from the game

Let me ask her

What is really the problem?

I'm on a vow of silence I can't talk today

But you just spoke!

Since it's her 1st time she's unaware of the rules

Ignorance is- Please eat, dear

There's a wedding at home Won't the parents be tensed?

That's all

Why don't you be more cheerful?

Hahahahaha Hehehehe-

Mr.White, keep quiet

Stop!

We're all laughing but why is she so stern?

You had better laugh

Okay, okay enough

She's laughing like Gabbar Singh from the movie 'Sholay'

She got too emotional!

Where's Vaishnavi?

She's not feeling well She'll come soon

Oh no...what happened?

Dad, be quiet Women's department

Will you keep quiet?

Here is the gravy that Vaishu made

Will you have some?

Grandma...grandma

- Yes, sonny? - Serve me

Don't be so desperate

I intend serving only you

You're eating from my plate

It's an Indian tradition

The wife eats from her husband's plate

It's to emphasize you and I aren't different

What do you want, Juno?

- Vaishnavi's here - Madhumitha's gone

- Sit next to Ramu, dear - Yes, sit there

Uncle has himself said so

Please sit

Vellaiappa, eat

You'll send words back down my gullet promptly

Eat to your stomach's content

Don't be shy

There's gravy Eat...I'll be back

Here you go...eat

How's your stomach pain?

It's not bad

What are you looking at? It's an Indian tradition

The wife eats from her husband's plate

It's to symbolize you and I aren't different

What happened?

Grandma!

What is this, Madhesh?

Sorry, I spun it too fast

What happened?

The salt spilt all over

That's what happens if you eat in a flustered manner

Don't worry I'll get you a new plate

Madhu, where's Vaishnavi?

She's resting in the room

What is this?

When we see you, we can't see her When we see her, we can't see you

Looks like I won't get to see my 2 daughters-in-law at the same time

That's all?

I'll go and call Vaishnavi

Where are you going, Juno?

She's resting

Why do you want to disturb her?

What, Ramu?

Your father wants to see both his daughters-in-law at the same time

What's wrong?

Nothing at all What's the rush?

Come, this evening, Madhu and Vaishu...

...will both sing for you

Not just sing...dance!

This is what I got from America Real time animation computer

Okay

I've stored Vaishnavi's image here

This wiring will send my movements to the computer

Whatever I do now...

...Vaishnavi in this computer will also do, ditto

Using a projector...

...I'll bring this image as Vaishnavi on the stage

"Chief, whatever sight the eyes see, do not belong to the eyes, you see"

"Don't belong to eyes only"

"You became close to my soul We are 2 parts of a heart that's whole"

"You'll be my soul mate, sole"

"Splish-splash, ah choo, ho ho ho"

"Called onomatopoeia you know"

"Separated, the words are nonsense Together they make sense, in essence"

"Though night and day have their run day is considered as just one"

"Traveling together are two feet Still, journey is just one, isn't it?"

"Though 2 hearts beat separately love can't be alienated, it's 1 and only"

"Boss, whatever the eyes see, do not belong to the eyes, you see"

"Not only to the eyes really"

"Andril birds migrate in pairs lovingly If 1 dies, other will follow ungrudgingly"

"If tears from 1 eye flow, other eye in sympathy will also begin to cry"

"Love, eye will be teary continually"

"When one of us sleeps fitfully dreams are for both, never singly"

"When one inhales oxygen 2 hearts beat as one"

"Only to hug one another we separately search for the other"

"Friend, whatever the eyes see"

"Champ, whatever the eyes see do not belong to the eyes, you see"

"Don't belong to the eyes really"

"You became close to my soul We are 2 parts of a heart that's whole"

"You'll be my soul mate, sole"

Brother Nachiappan?

Brother Nachiappan?

Hey Pechiappa? Come...come

Brother...!

What happened to you?

Why are you in this sorry state?

I feel bad just seeing you like this

Forget that, bro Are you good?

My happiness has come back to me after so long

Hasn't Sundaramma come with you?

No, bro

She hasn't changed

She has only become worse

I'm dying to see my nephews

Call them please, brother

Visu...Ramu

Vishwanathan Ramamurthy

Bless us, uncle

May you live like kings

Nachiappan from Karaikudi and his late wife Meiyatha's eldest son

...Visu alias Vishwanathan

And Vellaiappan from Chennai and his wife Durgadevi's eldest daughter

...Madhumitha

On the same day, bridegroom Ramu the 2nd son of Mr Nachiappan...

...and Vaishnavi the younger daughter of Mrs and Mr Vellaippan

...will become husband and wife

On the 1st auspicious day in mid-January Vishwanathan and Madhumitha will wed

And the following auspicious date Ramu and Vaishnavi will wed

Kindly stop reading

What is this Mrs Krishnaveni? Why different wedding dates?

Let's conduct on the same stage both the weddings simultaneously

No way!

If 2 weddings are performed simultaneously on the same day...

...only 1 wedding will work out as per our traditional belief

I know of 2 instances where it didn't work

One bride never conceived

And in the other case the groom went mad

Fine, grandma

Did twins get married in those 2 cases?

No

Then why be scared?

Only because we got married separately...

...I became a widower

My brother's wife is alive Yet he is unhappy with her

That's why both my sons will be married same time, same date and same stage

What now?

But-

No second thoughts

Priest, please change what you've recorded

(Sacred chant)

I'm so glad

Please accept this

- Engagement all done? - In a splendid way

My wife and I will go on a pilgrimage...

...to cleanse our sins

Sins?

He wants to cleanse the sin of abandoning his daughter for 20 years

Isn't that what you mean, son?

Maybe so and may not be too

If it is so, will God punish us?

If not, will God forsake us?

Be quiet

Instead of you I should have taken the vow of silence

Don't hit me

Please don't

Nachiappan

Is that your name or your father's?

My brother

How much is your entire debt?

Here I am, your brother having earned in millions

Couldn't you have asked me for help?

This can't be solved with cash

My wife hasn't forgotten even a bit of our past

If I even mention your name, she bites my head off

She wasn't able to conceive

So she became a shrew

She is forever fighting with me

When I thought I'd just give it all up and die...

...I got a letter from you

I thought I'd at least see you and my nephews one last time before I die

The joy of seeing them and their betrothed also...

...I stayed behind forgetting my troubles

But the cursed man that I am...

...let alone live I'm not even fit to die!

Pechiappa

I'm ruined I'm ruined, brother

Listen

As long as I'm alive, I won't let you die

Whom can I call as my family other than you and your wife?

Only if you and your wife attend the wedding wholeheartedly...

...my sons will get married

For a few days I'll go to Karaikudi as Pechiappan

I'll din good sense into her and bring her

Until then you hold the fort as Nachiappan here

You're not just my brother

You are God to me

Whatever you do will only be right

Get lost!

You lent money to that man

Don't expect me to pay his debts

Get all his stuff down

Get lost! I'll skin you alive

My mother gave me all these as part of my wedding trousseau

Take what's in his shop

For a man who ran away unable to face his creditors...

...I won't give anything

This won't work

Get everything from inside

She has brought her family to the streets!

Bloody scheming witch!

Just a moment

For what? What's left for me here?

I'm going to my mother's house

If you can earn some money and support me, then let me know

Otherwise come and fall at my mother's feet with no pride

My grandmother feeds 4 dogs Come and lie down as the fifth

Move the bullock cart

Pechiappan, your lottery ticket has won a prize!

Stop...stop

Look here

1st prize is 3 million

Oh yes! It's true

Oh my goodness!

Move...move aside

He has come back shedding sweat and tears

Get him a bench

Get him some soda

She just called him a mongrel

And now she's running to stick to him like Adam's rib

He's my husband, I'll stick to him

And I'll yell at him so he gains self respect

As if your wife doesn't yell at you

Shut up and mind your own business

My tantrum made you lucky!

Give me the ticket I'll go and get the money

If you go, they'll give you only Rs 2,500 and fool you

If the money is with me, I'll run the family well

I'll give you 5 rupees a day for your expenditure

Give it to me

I've written my name here in case someone steals from me

So they'll give it to me only if I go

Put all the stuff back

Good Lord!

I'm your wife Won't they give it to me?

How fair is that!

Appu?

Pechiappa...?

If you face any problems, just open this book...

...and pretend to read

What edition is this encyclopedia?

I came to thank you

People use the lottery to launder black money into white

But you did it to unite your family

Pechiappan has changed the hotel over night after winning the lottery

He has now become business savvy

Come, come in

Meiyappa, go, attend to the customer

Sonny, I'm not too good with accounts

I've given it to you because you've studied it

So take good care

My responsibility to make sure you are comfortable

In this design, do you have an engagement ring?

Sorry, sir It's out of stock

Order it and we'll make it for you

- Your name? - Ramamurthy

Grandma?

What is it, my dear?

I can't stand the way Ramu pesters me

What is he up to now?

He got an engagement ring

He insists I should slide it onto his finger!

I can't be Vaishu for a minute longer

You can't

No need

You don't have to any longer

Tell them you have exams and go back to your town tonight

Go...go

Go, my princess

Vaishu is also 'run out' huh?

What do we do now?

There are only 2 things to do

One, somehow we bring a 2nd girl

Otherwise we must change the heart of that tin headed Nachiappan...

...who's obsessed with twins

How?

I'll book a room in Pondicherry and discuss it deeply with my friends

Nobody should search for me

I'll enter at the right moment and conduct Madhu's wedding

Just wait and watch

Pechiappa, everything has worked in your favor

By God's grace you have done well for yourself

But what's the use?

In your old age, to enjoy your wealth and take care of you...

...God has cursed you with no children

Marry her and she'll give you 4 healthy kids instead of just 1

No one in our family has got married a second time

Even my brother never married after my sister-in-law died

Your brother has 2 sons like lion cubs

You have no one to cremate you

I could even be the reason for that, right?

That's impossible

Your family has fertile genes

It can't be your fault since your brother has been blessed with 2 sons

It must be your wife

She killed your sister-in-law with absolutely no mercy

That is why she is barren

With all the curses of the villagers...

...her uterus has rotted and deteriorated

There's no chance of you getting an heir now

You'll always be flawed on that count, son

Who doesn't have flaws? I know I do

I can't cook I don't know accounts

If she is able to tolerate all this, why shouldn't I tolerate her flaws?

Look here, it doesn't matter if I can never have kids

But I'll never betray my wife

Please leave now

Vaishu, get in It's this compartment

Everything is in here

Here...magazines for you to read

I ensured we'll be alone to talk my heart out to you

But you aren't saying anything

You're so quiet? I like that too

Your silence kills me

When I look at you, I think of my sister-in-law

She stifled her love for my brother in the airport

Unable to tell him she got on a plane and left

But destiny played her hand and united them, hand in hand

If you go away without saying a word...

...I will die here slowly

Do you love me?

Or do you think my brother fell in love with your sister

And so you feel you're forced into marrying me due to the twin factor?

It isn't that, is it? Do you like me?

They say silence is consent but that isn't enough for me

Please

Just spell it out to me

Signal has turned green and the train too is moving

But our love is still stationary

Tell me you love me

Please

Just one word

One word

I can't leave if you don't tell me

Shall I also come to Kodaikanal with you?

Oh no!

Please get down

I'll write everything I feel for you in a letter and send it to you

Please...get off the train

I understand You can't say it

You'll send me a letter

That's enough for me

I'll see you

Oh God!

Vaishu

Write down bright and clear that you love me!

Madhu! I'm here

I feel like dying, grandma

Who is Ramu to me? He's my brother-in-law

He's practically like my son

Poor Ramu

He's building up a love that doesn't exist...

...and wandering around like a lunatic

Tomorrow when he finds out Vaishnavi doesn't exist...

...how can he take it?

If he does something drastic to himself...

...how can I ever face Visu?

I don't want to act any longer

Instead of duping everyone and marrying by inflicting this pain...

...I'll fall at their feet, confess and beg their forgiveness

After that, if our love is still strong, it will unite us

Like breaking the pot when the butter is just churning...

...you want to blurt out the truth at a time like this?

Your Vaishnavi disguise is over

You don't have to fool Ramu anymore

When you get married to Visu, I'll personally apologize to Ramu

And fall at his feet begging his forgiveness

I'll apologize to everyone, my dear

Does an apology heal the wound after you stab someone in the chest?

I can't do this anymore, grandma

Go on your confession spree I'll fall in front of this train and die

Okay, do that promptly

Anyway as if I intend living after telling the truth to everyone

My dear! Wait for me

Madhu?

Juno?

Isn't this Madhesh's room?

What are you doing here?

Visu, this is a super computer

The other day when Vaishnavi and Madhu were dancing...

...Madhesh wired himself and was dancing with this computer

I also wanted to dance but I can't find the switch

Look for it please for my sake

Don't fidget around in this place

Take all this off Put it back and come

Understand?

I'll scout around just one last time

You'll scout and get into a soup

Vaishu

Vaishu has come

Visu, look here

Whatever I do, Vaishu is doing too

You have no other job

Madhu, dance just one more step

- Madhesh, enough - One hand gesture

Vis-

You are justified in being mad at me

I came running here to tell you the truth

Stop it

What truth did you plan on spinning now?!

You'll lie once more to cover up this lie

Am I a fool to swallow all this?

Please listen to me

Stop it!

In what way did I harm you?

I loved you truly and deeply

You snubbed me

Please let me talk, Visu

I'm the world's biggest fool to have loved you

What mistake did my brother do?

What did he do? Tell me

You brought an innocent boy all the way over here

Tempted him with marriage

And made him roam around like a lunatic

Listen, Visu Don't be angry

No-

She's not to be blamed

I lied so that you both could get married

I made Madhu act as Vaishnavi

Yell at me Slipper me

- I'll take it - Stop it

Can't even call you a lady!

The very sight of you repulses me

Lies just gush out of your mouth

We helped you in your time of need and you brought our family here

You completely slapped us in the face, didn't you?

Neither me or my family had any desire to wrong yours

Visu, please believe me-

You're the lady who took an oath on camphor and deceived us!

How do you expect me to believe you?

Please be calm-

Don't open your mouth

Madhu?

Sir?

Mr Nachiappan, Visu is a youngster

He's saying all sorts of things because he is mad at me

You insisted you'd only get your sons married to twins

I didn't want them to break up I didn't know what else to do

That's why I lied in the spur of the moment

Everything I said was untrue

All that I did was wrong

I'll fall at your feet to beg your pardon

Please get them married, Nachiappan

Dad, move aside

She might trip you over when she falls at your feet

Don't trust her

Everything she says is a lie All of this was an act

Totally criminal

Fraud family

Come, dad Let's leave

Son...sonny?

Visu...?

Visu...?

Nachiappan?

Madhu...my dear!

Oh God!

Ramu?

I've seen you since you were a kid

You've never looked so worn out, dear

Please eat

Your grandma will kill me if she knows you're starving

- Eat, dear - No, Joseph

It'll take 2 days for us to come back to shore

Shall I turn the boat around?

No need, Joseph I'm very hurt

I don't want to see anyone

If you don't mind me asking...?

Love failure?

It's always a hassle, if you give your heart to someone

"With your smile, dear you kindled my fire"

"You asked me to douse it with your tears salt and sweet"

"Girl, my land is mere thorn"

"Oh gawd! My breath is sheer poison"

"My soul, don't consume my body"

"My eyes, don't walk past me"

"Don't consume me, my dear life"

"Don't walk past my face, my eyes"

"If truth is a pack of lies, maiden"

"God! What will lies become then?"

"Can love live to be a sham so phony?"

Ramu

(babble of voices)

Don't come here

It's deep Tide is very rough

2 men died yesterday

Listen to me, sonny

Ramu!

Visu, go to the shore I'll handle this

Fast...go fast

Ramu!

You be here I'll take care

Ramu...!

Ramu, you gave me the fright of my life

Why?

Were you scared I'd kill myself?

I've crossed that stage

You're speaking so strangely

You scare me the way you speak

I need to see my old Ramu

Come, let's go to America No need to stay in this country

Why are you lying to me...

...when you're leaving your life behind?

Who?

Don't even mention her name to me

She's a pain Backstabber

As far as I'm concerned, I've buried her alive

Madhumitha doesn't exist in my life any more

Oh? Is that why you picked up...

...the school badge and sipper you threw away?

Fine, I'm a fool

I fell in love with her and so I pay the price for my folly

What wrong did you do?

I can't accept the fact they hurt you so badly

They fooled me for your sake

They put on this act for her to marry you

I got fooled not knowing it was just an act

Now I know

We go to a theater, watch a film, laugh or cry

But when we come out don't we wipe our tears?

Same way I have wiped everything

Why are you hiding your sadness like this...

...and just for my sake talking so philosophically?

Who is she?

She's my sister-in-law

The minute I realized that, I've wiped my slate clean

Now I'm not hurt

Poor girl, she must be hurting more than me

Trying not to let down her position as your fiancee...

...and trying not to hurt me, following her like a pup

Must have been quite a struggle for her

It's not betrayal

It's not trickery

Shows how much she loves you

Her love is real

I take it as my responsibility to get you both married

Dad?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Whenever we come to talk, you pick up a book and sit

I haven't changed my decision as yet

Why are you still so stubborn about getting us married to twins?

If you get my brother married to anyone other than my sister-in-law...

...I swear my bro won't be happy

If he isn't happy, I won't be happy

And if we are both not happy, you can't be either

Are you going to bury all our happiness and stick to your weird principles?

Tell me, dad Talk to me

We'll discuss whatever it is after my brother returns

Dad...?

You need to decide about the marriage of your sons

Why do we need uncle for you to decide?

All this is only because of your brother

If your brother had been smart, none of this would have happened

If your brother's wife was a good woman...

...your family wouldn't have split up like this

For the sake of your brother and his wife's happiness...

...why are you ruining our lives?

Enough

Eno...enough

Visu, I'll get you married to Madhumitha just as you wished

But not on the date we have fixed now

Let's get you married as early as we can

Why, dad?

I want this wedding to take place before I change my mind

Thanks, dad

Madhu...?

Please listen to me

For heaven's sake listen to me

Did you listen to me?

Did you hear me out the other day?

I begged you the same way that day, did you hear me out?

How much I cried!

All my pleas fell on deaf ears

You called me a fraud and a criminal, a backstabber

You let your tongue run wild and now I must hear you out

What I did was wrong, Madhu

I'm in the same situation you were in that day

Won't you understand my plight and accept me?

You know what?

My brother has come from USA

I even went and saw him without your knowledge

Oh my goodness!

Only now you are sharing this good news with me

My nephews are getting married in Madras it seems

In case you throw a tantrum...

...they are hesitant about inviting you in person

I'm yearning for a family of my own

How can you say this?

All these decades of despair has flown with the wind, dear

So why-

Your relative from Madras has come in search of you

Twin number 2

Hello Madhesh

Who is this?

Our nephew's fiancee's brother

'Why is he here now?'

You might have won a lottery and become a millionaire

But your sworn enemy Nachiappan the billionaire

You should also travel to USA

Open a Nehru restaurant opposite his Gandhi eatery

And become a billionaire That's why I'm here

If you listen to me all this will happen

No, sonny, we don't-

Just stop with your '4 idlis, 2 fritters, I tea'

His elder brother The tin head man

Nachiappan

His twin sons should marry only twin girls

Insisted on a stupid conditional clause

That's where the problem started

To tell you the truth my sister isn't a twin

If we are honest...

...Nachiappan won't change his mind

Visu won't agree to get married without his dad's consent either

Only solution to this predicament

Change of identity

If your husband Pechiappan comes as Nachiappan...

...and tells Visu 'tie the sacred thread'

...he'll immediately comply

What about Nachiappan?

1 swift blow and end of that tin head's chapter

We'll lock him up in a room

Let him out after the wedding

You goddamn mongrel!

You dare give ideas to split my brother-in-law's family?

Sundaram...don't

Who is a tin head?

Don't hit him Let him go

I'll take the mickey-

Wait...look, she's angry now

I'll talk it over with her Come, Sundaram

1 tingling slap on his cheek Goddamn sissy fellow

Please...hold your temper

If you yell and push him out...

...he'll create some new chaos over there

We should string him along and let my brother know his plan

My brother knows how to tear him to shreds

How could you disappear, Madhesh?

How irresponsible!

That too on the wedding day

Your folks are searching for you

Wedding?

Whose wedding?

What a question!

Your sister is getting married in Muthaiyah wedding hall

At 10:30 a.m

Who is the groom?

How odd that you ask me all these family details?!

Your eldest nephew

Welcome

Hello, groom's uncle!

We were so worried about your disappearance

Is this your wife? Please come in

Where the hell did you disappear?

You look like a chicken drenched in the rain

Go and get dressed

Please take her in

Where is my brother?

He was somewhere around

Yov! Keep an eye on the stove instead of chatting, might get burnt

Check the provisions

Bro, we need ½ a bag of Bengal gram

Here's the key Take it from the store room

Did you send 10 kilos of cashew to my place?

I did long ago

What's happening here?

Who gave permission for this wedding now?

It was because of me-

Change your dress first

Bride is as beautiful as her mother

Ramu, don't tease me

Bro...don't

Please don't

Visu, get down from the podium

Aiyaiyo!

Get up

Nachiappan, why are you asking Visu to get up?

Did we do something wrong?

Didn't we receive you properly?

Listen, I've been telling you from the beginning

I'll get my twins married only to twin sisters

But your daughter isn't a twin And you're trying to trick me

That won't happen

What's the problem now Mr Nachiappan?

We are back to square one

Isn't this wedding happening with your wholehearted consent?

Who accepted?

Who did?

Dad...?

What happened to you?

Why are you angry all of a sudden?

You told me the other day...

...before you changed your mind you'll get us married

We changed the wedding date only at your request

You heard your own son say you consented to the wedding?

How can you say 'no' now?

I said 'yes' the other day

Yes

But today I'm saying the wedding has to be stopped

What are you saying?

You'll keep changing your mind? Are you trying to act smart with us?

- I'll hit- - Keep quiet

He spoke out of turn

Didn't you lie?

Didn't you cut me down to size?

Didn't you make me and my sons look like utter fools?

Ho much trauma we would have gone through...huh?

You should understand the same pain we felt

You should go through the same anguish I suffered

That's why

That's why I pretended to accept the other day

Bro-

Come right now

Visu, don't get down

You go, Visu This won't work

We are at fault

We have to face the consequences

It's all over

How can you-

Sis-in-law!

Wait

Please don't go

What are you repeatedly blabbering about twins?

You are so stubborn only because you have 2 sons

From today you have only 1 son

I'll commit suicide and die right now

Hey! Why should you die?

Who is he to stop this wedding?

We don't need a father who humiliates a good family...

...in front of everyone like this

He's a stranger to us

Cheat

Fraud

Backstabber

How dare you malign my brother!

For the sake of our family's happiness...

...do you know how deep a fix he is in?

Hey shut up

Pechiappa, don't ruin it by being impulsive

Be calm

No, bro

My brother never consented to this wedding

I don't care if you kill me

You are humiliated only because you wanted my family not to split

Even if my wife and I split it doesn't matter

You and your sons should always be united

Let me share this with all of you now

He didn't consent to this wedding

I was the one who agreed

Don't

Because till yesterday he wasn't in town

I agreed to this wedding pretending to be him

Did you come to Karaikudi pretending to be my husband?

Shame on you! Call yourself a man?!

I'm so repulsed by the very thought of it

Not knowing if it is her husband or some other stranger...

...how can a wife sleep next to a fellow?

All these days I used to be a senseless shrew...

...threatening to fling this sacred thread off my neck

But let me clarify now

Instead of not knowing if I am the wife or not...

...I'd be better off with this wedding chain off my neck

Enough, Sundaramma

Why do you make these empty threats and traumatize us?

In what way did I harm you?

Knowing very well I did only good for you...

...you keep repeating these vile threats

Why are you so stubborn?

Aren't you being stubborn?

You insist only twins should marry your twin sons...what's that?

You can pretend to be your brother to reform your sister-in-law

But can't this girl do the same to marry the man she loves?

For the sole welfare of your brother, you can lie

That grandma shouldn't lie for the sake of her grandchild?

How can you have such double standards?

If what you did was purely for your brother's good...

...same holds good for her

If what you did was right...

...she is right too!

If what she did was wrong...

...then you are also equally in the wrong

If what you did was right...

...then my husband and I will bless the couple

If what you did was wrong...

...I'll take this off and walk away right now

Mr Nachiappan, as long as our kids don't fall in love...

...we can take a decision on their lives

But once they are in love their life is theirs to lead

To burden them with the crosses we carry...

...is not fair at all

What is life? To give in, right?

Look how beautifully they are giving in to each other

To give up our staunch ideals for such wonderful children...

...isn't wrong at all

"This is a sacred thread essential for my long life"

"I tie this around your neck O maiden having many auspicious attributes"

"May you live happily for a 100 years with me"
