Original subtitles

It's not some 40-year-old man reciting "Neeti Chandrika"

- or teaching adult education. - Yes.

The greatness of the Telugu language

and the importance of learning it should be known.

At a time when there is little awareness of why one should learn Telugu,

we must place in their hands a book

that reveals the glory and richness of the language.

It was given to both you and me

- when we were children. - Yes.

- They gave us "Bala Siksha." - Yes.

O human, greater even than the gods!

This truth is meant to be felt and known with love in your heart.

This can't be understood at age three or four,

- but it can be understood by ten. - Yes.

- One may understand it at 40… - Correct.

but truly follow it by 50.

Hello?

Aditya! Your short film has got 12K views!

Really?

Yes, you're the greatest in our district. No one has gotten this far.

- What are you saying? - It's true, dude!

You'll definitely get a call from the producer.

Dude…

- we got to have a party today. - Definitely, dude!

Let's go to the bakery.

You start and I too am coming.

- We are already here. - Okay!

- I'll be waiting. - Bye, dude!

12K views?

Oh my!

Ah…

Why is Mom reading the news paper?

Where's Dad?

He is cooking!?

What's happening here?

Oh no! It wouldn't look good to see him while cooking.

Hey! Madduleti is here, go out.

- Is he any DEO? - Oh no, it isn't good.

- Take this out first. Go, go out. - Hey…

- What? - Oh no!

- Namaste, sir! What are you doing? - Hmm!

I am getting the food cooked.

- Sit! I'll bring the money. - Oh.

- Rani… Rani… - Hmm.

- Namaste, madam! - Namaste, sir!

What?

Give me the money from safe.

You wear the shirt first.

Key is right here and why don't you give it?

She feels it is work to give money. Huh?

Here, give it.

- Count… - Started again…

Counted it ten times last night and you also kept it with a rubber band.

Will it breed 500 more by morning?

- Give that first. - Hmm.

- Please count it. - No need, sir.

You are the Government maths teacher. The count never misses.

Hmm.

Looks like your younger one is home?

Hey! That's enough combing your hair. Come out.

Oh my…

Namaste uncle!

- Wait! - Hmm?

Hmm!

Look, he is asking.

What are you doing, son?

- I'm combing, uncle. - What?

He isn't asking whether you are combing hair or going to the bathroom!

You're going around like the Municipality bull after completing degree.

He is asking what you are doing in life.

What do you wish to become in future, dear?

- Uncle, Director! - Ah…

Oh Director! Good! Very good!

Even my co-brother's son left to Hyderabad four years ago, wanting to be a director.

What is he doing now?

He is selling idli at the high point of Indira Nagar.

Think of your son.

My son makes good poori.

Make sure to use less oil.

Super!

- I think he's hurt. - Where to?

- Hey… - Huh.

- Rani! Prepare tea. - Yes!

Dude, don't immediately accept if Allu Arvinds calls.

But, tell story settings must be in Shimla.

Even Suresh Babu grabs new directors quickly.

If Suresh Babu calls, give me the phone saying your manager Sinjith will speak.

I'll take care.

Dude, for your talent, any producer will be happy to work with you.

Which hero do you wish to work with?

- Ah… - Dude, Varun Tej?

Tsk. Too Handsome!

Akhil!

I don't have such a commercial story.

Ah… Nitin!

No dates, man.

He's busy with two films.

Oh no… Tsk.

Let's give a chance to new heroes. Huh?

Ah…

Someone like Vijay Deverakonda.

He has a very good talent.

Let's give life…

Come on, dude…

Hmm, hum!

I got your plan, dude. Vijay Deverakonda will give you a hit film…

And the Producer will gift you a car, right?

Dude, which car do you want?

Er…

Dude, Range Rover!

Red interior and black exterior will be so great.

Woo-Hoo!

Tell about Range Rover first to your dad.

Shut up!

Range Rover?

You've been a vagabond from three years.

They may think you've gone mad now hearing this.

Sit!

Sit!

I'm telling for your good.

I've taken a decision.

- Take it! - No!

Even my brother in law's son was just like your son. A vagabond, sir!

I mean… he was jobless, sir…

He met the consultancy people once and shifted to UK, sir.

He's earning in lakhs after going there.

He bought lands and is lending a Million rupees on interest, sir.

If you send your son also to UK,

he'll pay the monthly fees and clear it all once he bags a job.

How do we pay, man?

Elder one hasn't got a job.

Daughter is doing her 3rd year MBBS.

And this idiot is roaming around like a vagabond from three years.

I must work alone and take care of the family.

How can I afford that?

You go for a loan. You are a Government teacher.

Even bank people are giving loan to a Government teacher, blindly sir.

Believe me, it'll all be done if you think about it.

You somehow make my son go to London and study.

- I can't do US and UK jobs, daddy. - Then what?

I'll be right here and become a Director.

I want to say "Action!" and "Cut!".

Those are the very actions I'm asking you to cut.

You must know about literature to make a film.

You must have grip over the language.

- Did you see how Trivikram speaks? - Yes, I saw, daddy.

- He speaks so well. Right? - Yes, daddy. Yes!

We can take multiple meanings from each word.

Yes!

- What about your words? - Hmm?

There will be no meaning at all.

No daddy, I too know very well.

- Oh! Rani… - Hmm.

He too knows very well, it seems.

Ok! Give me two synonyms for spontaneity, immediately!

- Spontaneity… I'll tell you, daddy. - Fast, immediately… Yes, fast!

- Almost got it, daddy. - Almost got it?

- Spontan… Spontan… - What are you typing in the air?

- tell me! two synonyms. - I will… Spontan…

- Spontaneity… - Tell me.

Spontaneity… Spontaneity…

I want to pass, daddy.

You failed.

You failed, son.

- Give another one, daddy. I'll tell. - Ok!

Surprise!

- Surprise… - Two, fast…

- Surprise… fast, come on say. - Dad, I will…

- Come on… - To hell with this, damn!

To hell with this, damn!

What's this?

I never came across.

You'll be fit for nothing.

Synonyms are "ruined" and "damned", daddy.

I didn't ask synonyms for it.

I'm saying you'll be ruined, idiot.

I can't handle this anymore.

I've decided. You are going abroad.

- Dad… - Son,

You'll get more dowries. Go, son.

- Dowry… - Hey, if you don't listen to me…

You will be good for nothing, You will be ruined.

Why are you so tense, man?

Take Director Sekhar Kammula he's a U.S. returnee

Arjun Reddy, I mean our Sandeep Reddy, he's an Australia returnee.

You also go to UK and return. You too will have a demand like them.

This is the new trend!

Dude!

If I go to UK, I'll end up making reviews on a Youtube channel instead of movies.

- That's it and no better. - I got it.

Regardless of anything, you will become a director…

You will make a movie and buy a Range Rover… and we'll roam in it.

This is fixed!

Bye!

- Hey, Aditya, come here. - Hmm!

Come!

Listen, don't be disappointed That I'm saying this.

- It's ok if we have regular jobs. - Hmm!

But, society doesn't always accept jobs in the creative field like yours.

Hey, hey! Just now… you said Range Rover.

I'm saying there's nothing wrong to have a Plan B.

Think about it!

Hey, I'm saying this as a Sales Executive at Vijay Sales.

Sales Executive of the year! So trust me when I say this, I'm right.

One minute!

- Hello! Yeah, tell me. - Bring coriander on the way.

- Bring coriander? - Yes, tomatoes too.

Sure, I'll bring coriander and tomatoes…

- Hmm? I should bring it all. - Who else would bring?

Understand what I said, if not you'll also be in the same situation as me.

- What are you murmering? Tell me clearly. - Ok? Go now.

Not you, I'm talking to Aditya.

Ok, bring them fast.

Plan B!

In the life of every middle class boy crossing the age of 21 years…

PlanB is the most heard word after love, sex, cricket and cinema.

My name is Anand. Sorry, Aditya!

There is a magic in cinema.

I wish to do a good film, our film and about us.

I wish to become a Director.

Thus like all middle class boys, I chose to compromise.

Sorry… sorry…

I chose plan B.

I decided to go to UK.

- Hey, come! Faster. - Not to study and do a job.

Just because I don't wish to hurt my parents.

I'll finish the course in one year, return to India and become a director.

- Hey, come fast. - Coming!

- Aditya, care of London… - Miss you too, dude!

Hey Aditya, how did you get a UK Visa?

Hello…

I setup a good client for you.

It is a close family to me.

You must look for a seat in a good college for their kid.

No, they can't do all these GRE and GMAT.

No, I'd be surprised if he even gets five points in IELTS.

Huh!

You got to increase my commission this time.

Hmm. Ok.

- Sir! Congratulations, sir. - Ah… Thank you…

Keep that man in mind, we shall bash him up in the evening.

- This is all because of you! - I did nothing, sir.

I wish to give you a very good idea, sir.

- Your son is going to UK. - Hmm.

- Girls are very fair there. - Ah!

If he finds someone in UK to link up with…

- Him? - Yes!

He took six months just to link his Aadhar and PAN cards.

Him and link up with a girl? That can never happen.

- Dude! - Hmm.

Though your dad looks serious like Mohan Babu.

He is very emotional like Babu Mohan.

See, he has tears in his eyes.

- What Happened? - Something went into my eyes.

Go man, go and hug your dad.

- Hug? - Go! Hmm.

- Sure? - Yes, go!

- Is it necessary, dude? - Yes, hug him tight.

- Is it there? - I said yes. It is there.

- Is it really there? - It is there.

- Dad… - it is there for sure.

- Are you sure? - It is there.

- Daddy… - See…

Daddy, what's wrong?

Where is it?

Where is your waist thread? Huh?

- Er… Waist thread… . - Waist thread?

I thought it would ugly.

Don't over act…

I brought an extra one for safety.

- Give it to me! - Hmm.

- Please, Dad. - This is Lord Hanuman's.

Trust me.

- Daddy… - Dude, what's this waist thread drama?

- Come here. - Oh my!

Mother's love is great, dude.

There is one more important thing, son.

I packed pickles in three tupper ware boxes.

Make sure you bring those back carefully, son. Ok? Hmm.

- What are you talking. - Great!

- Mummy. - Yeah?

Whether I come back or not, I'll make sure your boxes come back to you safely.

- Ah! We're getting late, move. - Ok.

Call once you reach, huh!

For parents, sending children abroad for studies…

Has the same sentiment as sending a daughter to her in-law's

Even though we might have fears and worries about going to a foreign place,

we courageously bid good bye to keep our parents happy.

Showing that fake confidence made me understand…

that we took first steps at becoming responsible adults.

Having never boarded a domestic flight,

I am now directly flying International to go to UK

New place, new people, I hardly know anything at all.

I have an unknown fear within.

But when we have nothing, all we can have is a small hope…

that everything will be alright. A small hope.

Would he have reached?

Flight must go, right?

Tsk. No idea what he'll eat or how he'll sustain…

- He's so innocent. - Hmm.

He can't even wash his own clothes.

He doesn't even wash his underwear.

Is he going to some war?

What is this?

- Once the elder one somehow gets a job… - Hmm…

and our girl somehow completes her MBBS…

And Aditya too somehow gets settled…

And we both somehow pass away…

What's this nuisance? Go to sleep.

Damn! No love, nothing!

- Hello! - Hi Mummy!

- Did you land? - Yes, I landed.

Listen, he landed it seems.

- What? - Yeah!

- Did he land? - Yes!

Ok!

Is it cold, son?

It is a bit cold here, mummy.

Wear your jacket, son.

Yes, I wore the jacket.

Will you talk to him, husband?

- No need. Listen… - What?

Inform him…

to complete homework regularly.

Home work?

Did you hear that?

Ok, take care. You make sure to eat on time.

Fine, I'll eat mummy. I'll take care of everything.

Ok, take care.

- Ok, I'll call later. Bye! - Bye!

Aditya!

Come, come!

Bro, I came to London for the first time. I'll sit in front seat, bro.

- Bro, this is nine pounds. - Why, bro?

Are you my brother in law to bring you without pay from airport?

I thought this a car, bro. Is this a cab?

I'll add in Splitwise. Settle it.

Go, freshen up!

Aditya!

- Goutham, it's me. - Nice to meet you!

Bro, are you the Goutham I spoke on Facebook?

Yes bro, I'm that Goutham who spoke on Facebook.

Bro, flat looks good.

Where is my room?

What? What do you mean "your" room?

It's not like that here. We all have to share.

My friends are upstairs. Come, let's meet them.

Hey fools batch,

- this is our new Splitwise partner Aditya… - Hi!

He's feeling bad that he didn't get a private room.

You feel bad for not having a private room?

You know what's more important than the room?

You should first set up a part time job.

And then find a consultancy which will help you land

a job by the time your course ends.

Oh no, I need no job as such, bro.

I'll go back to India after MS.

India? Why, have any family business?

I wish to go back to India and become a film director.

- Ah? - Film director…

Bro, everyone here has some passion.

He's crazy about acting.

He wants to go back to India, play cricket,

do some small job and start farming.

And some others wish to go back to India and start a business.

But bro, we are middle class guys.

We have to stay here whether we like it or not. Got it?

If you got inspired by someone that went back

and was successful, and you too want to try…

You'll be ruined.

Will I truly become a coward that doesn't take

risks to fulfil his dreams like they said?

Will I become insecure?

No…

I won't allow that. I'll quickly finish my script…

Go back to India and become a Director.

These doubts and torture… I can't bear this.

How much will you torture me just for liking your friend Swetha's pic?

You were also loudly protesting about my shoulder touching

my Team Lead's in a recent pic!

Hey! This is the last call between us.

No hard feelings, okay?

- I'll never call you again in my life. - Good!

You too! Be happy wherever and with whoever you are.

Please go ahead and breakup, I'll wait.

- Telugu? - Yes bro!

What do you need?

Bro, do you have milk?

- Is this your job, bro? - No bro,

I stayed back here for six years by doing courses one after another.

Anyway, where are you from?

- I'm from Wanaparthy. - Wanaparthy?!

Even my Prashanti is from Wanaparthy. Just hold for a minute!

- Hello Prashanti! - What?

There's a baby chick in town, he came just today!

- He's from your place! Talk to him. - Is it? Give him the phone.

- Hi! - Hi!

- Are you from Wanaparthy? - Yes!

- When did you pass Tenth? - 2009 batch!

I'm of 2011 batch, bro!

How is UK, brother?

I don't like it so much. I just came as my father forced me.

- Is it? - Yes!

- Give the phone to Manoj, brother. - Ok!

Manoj, he is my brother, from my place.

You must take good care of him, and make sure he doesn't face any difficulties, ok?

Who's making this request?

My Prashanthi! I'll look after him like my own brother-in-law.

- Call me once you finish your shift. - Ok!

- Bye! - Bye!

Shall we go, brother in law?

So, where are you staying?

I'm staying in the adjacent lane, bro.

- In Goutham idiot's flat? - Yes!

That too was setup by me. He is my man.

Is it all ok for you there?

- I didn't like it at all, bro. - Why?

The state of the place looks like it is a farmhouse

booked for partying purposes on weekends.

Fine, you don't get tensed.

- I have one room nearby in a flat. - Ok!

I'm anyways shifting to another flat.

You take that room.

How do you plan to pay the rent?

I'll have to setup some part time job, bro.

- Hmm. Take my job. - Brother…

- I got a job elsewhere and am shifting. - Ok!

So, you can take over my job!

- Brother, you are my God. - Come on, cool it.

- You smoke? - Yes, brother!

Cigarettes are very expensive here.

Get habituated to roll this and smoke.

Thanks, brother!

Brother, need a small help!

Tell me, brother-in-law!

Please don't breakup with sister as long as I'm here.

- That won't happen, - Thanks bro!

even if I want it to happen.

Fine, did you bring pickles from India?

Yeah, I brought, brother.

Mom's blessings and her pickles keep us alive here.

Come, we reached.

- Brother! - This is the one.

- Welcome, brother-in-law! - Thank you, brother.

Hi Leni.

Hi…

- This is our hall. - Hi.

- There's a TV too. - Hi.

You can watch anything any time.

- Hi, hi! - Hi!

Washroom!

Do you use paper?

Yes bro, I read Eenadu.

- Not to read… to wipe. - Wipe?

This is our dining, kitchen & garden.

How is it?

It is very good, bro.

Hi Benz!

- Hi Manoj, how are you doing? - Good, good!

He is from Nigeria.

One Italian couple.

One Mexican girl!

We have an entire world map here.

- World map… - Hey, hi! Hi!

- Hi Manoj, cheers. - Hi.

Hi.

- Hi! - Hi.

Don't be shocked. This is how it is here. They bathe together. Come!

Welcome!

This is my room.

It is your room too from now.

The view is amazing.

How about rent, bro?

Whose reference are you?

My Prashanti's reference!

Pay the same you were paying there.

If you wish to bring a girl anytime, Feel free.

There'll be no problem here.

Entire room is sound proof.

Bro, I'm not like that at all.

Cinema is my wife, lover, girlfriend, everything!

Cinema people usually have a very bad public reputation.

But, looking at you, I feel like that may not be true.

Bro, thank you! Thank you!

If you are this innocent, it is tough to live here.

You have to smartly socialise everywhere you go.

Only then, your life will be happy here. What do you say?

I have night shift tomorrow at the gas station.

I'll come day after and take all the luggage.

- Ok? Bye! - Ok bro! Bye!

Thank you, brother!

Rani!

Tea is done, wait I'm serving.

- Not the tea… - Then what?

He was scoring just 1 and 2 marks in school as a kid.

We sent him so far, Do you think he'll study?

He'll study great, for sure.

He'll get good dowry only if he studies abroad.

- Hmm! For him? - Hmm!

Hello, what's your major?

Yes, I'm a major. Above 18 years!

Sorry, what's your Major?

Yes, I'm major.

Ah… four wheeler vehicle license,

I have voter ID, aadhar card and everything.

She isn't asking if you are a minor or major.

She is asking about which course are you doing.

Who knows?

Consultancy guy of Dilsukh Nagar Suggested a course name

which is accepted easily for Visas.

I put the same name and it was done.

- Ah… can I get those? - Hmm!

International Bussiness Management!

Hey… I only applied for one course!

That is a single course…

Just one!

- International Bussiness Management and… - Ok.

Hmm. Ok.

Here are the clubs.

Just let me know the clubs you are going to join, ok?

Skipping class and joining clubs right on the first day…

may not be good.

Clubs are not where we drink. We have communities here.

I'm from community.

Kadali, do you want to join woman empowerment? I lead that community.

I'll take mental health and LGBTQ.

Ok, great! Tell me fast, Aditya.

- Aditya! - Aditya!

Say fast, we're getting late for class.

Ah…

Write the same.

- Hmm. Which one? - Which one?

Huh?

I mean that…

It's not womaniser or sanitizer. It is woman empowerment.

Whatever, we won't get marks right?

Some Starbucks coupons, especially for you.

- Hmm! - Is this the mess ticket?

No man, coffee coupons!

Hmm, what else? Oh no!

Hi, I'm Kadali. A Wanderlust!

Myself Aditya, I'm a short film director!

Oh! Then why are you doing Global management here?

My father feared I may become a wedding photographer if I stayed there.

He took a loan and sent me here.

Where do you stay here?

Is it a University accommodation?

I can't afford those.

Er… Stafford street Had a single room available.

- I stay there. - Oh, nice!

- Where are you staying? - Right here, close by!

Hmm!

Fine, tell me something more about yourself.

Hmm!

There isn't much to say about myself.

Ok, it's time for class. I'll leave.

Sure!

Oh…

Ah… all Indian students are going for a day trip together.

They'll be back by evening. Shall we go, if you are ok?

Dude, what did you last night? You went to pub or club?

I wrote my script.

Come on man, it's hardly two days since you arrived, just settle down first.

I have nothing, but cinema.

You're a lucky guy, dude.

- You have a good news. - What?

A guy came to our showroom recently to buy a TV.

When asked to play something, I played your short film.

That guy was impressed watching your short film.

He didn't buy the TV, but he wants to make the film with you.

Really!?

Yes, idiot! His name is Naga Vamsi.

He's insisting on making the film with you.

Hey, shall I come back to India then?

Yes, of course, come down! Your father will surely both of us together

He's making the film 'Babu Bangaram' now.

He said he'd do your film once that is done.

For sure, dude?

Confirmed, he's a real gentleman.

Dude, I'll finish the script fast.

Be on it and also do not forget to send me the girls photos…

Fine, I'll call later. I have a class.

"This journey feels so beautiful…"

“Every moment is filled with joy…”

“This journey… feels so good!”

“Leaving hometown, boarded the flight…”

“Leaving back harsh people and getting into sweet people…”

“Heart believed in Lord Venkateshwara,”

“And on this journey I found a beautiful love…”

"This journey feels so beautiful…"

“Every moment is filled with joy…”

"This journey feels so beautiful…"

“Buses follow buses, London feels so alive…”

“And beside me is a beautiful babe…”

“Tower after tower, The city feels surprising…”

"This journey…

Tell me about your family.

Mom, Dad, my elder brother, my elder sister, and me.

Who do you like the most out of all of them?

I like Mom a lot.

But she often calls and keeps pestering me.

She always asks if I've eaten, slept well, and things like that.

I get frustrated.

- It's Mom. - Mom? Answer it!

- Hello! - Yes, Mom.

What are you doing? Have you eaten?

I ate, Mom.

- What did you eat? - Rice and dal.

- Is it? Did you cook? - Yes, Mom.

Don't turn your underwear inside out and wear it. Wash it and then wear it.

You've got soap, right?

Since you have strong body odor, you need to bathe every day.

Okay, Mom. I'll do that.

Gosh! Don't laugh.

This is a serious matter.

Is it?

- Where? - Take the bag. Let's go.

The Kohinoor fort is here

The Queen stands beside me

She's clicking a photo every hour

My heart is overflowing with happiness

My tummy feels full of butterflies

And senses, feels out of senses…

First love, first tender words

Feels cold by the ocean shore

This journey…

"A city like no other, A street like no other"

“A village like no other, a country like no other London feels like a new kingdom…”

"With the grace of a parrot, And the mischief of a little mice"

"Who knows where this journey will finally take?"

“This journey…”

“Thought of something, But life had other plans…”

“Leading life is so difficult…”

“Leading life is so difficult…”

“This journey…”

- Will go here. - Okay.

Hey, welcome to Lahore. Table for two?

- Yes, two of us! - Please have a seat here.

Thank you!

- Hey, one minute! - Hmm?

We are Indians, right?

Can we come to a Pakistani restaurant like this?

This is a Pakistani restaurant, not Pakistan.

Food here is tasty and cheap too.

- Hmm? - Ok!

- Thank you! - Yeah. Sure.

We'll split the bill, okay?

What does that mean?

I said we'll pay the bill in equal halves.

- Ok? - Ok!

Our school Principal always said. Speak in English.

When he told to learn a new word every day, I never cared to learn.

Now, I know nothing.

I'm struggling.

- Shall we go? - Hmm!

It's getting late…

Should I ask or not…

Let me ask…

Cigarette… Shall we?

- Cigarette? - Yeah!

I smoked once. Long back…

- Will you come to my room? - Hmm?

I'll roll the cigarette.

With a stranger, in a strange country… that too, alone at midnight?

No way! I'm afraid and I'll not come.

You don't trust me?

No way, you said you're a womaniser this morning.

Oh no…

Fine, leave it.

Hmm…

Fine, let's walk up to the room.

I'll decide whether to come in or not after reaching there.

- Let's go! - Ok.

This way.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No!

Had a breakup?

I never even had friends that are girls until now.

So, you've been single since childhood?

Does your iPhone respond if you say, 'Hey Siri' in your iPhone?

Yes!

But mine responds if I say ‘Hey Srinivas'.

I don't have any Siri in my phone.

Whenever customer care people call, it will always be men.

I see.

- If I ever go to a hotel… - Hmm!

I see only guys at reception.

- Oh… - I'm that single.

Actually this is the first time.

Spending so much time with a girl from morning to night.

What happened?

Nothing, let's go.

- Where are you going? - Hmm?

This is my flat.

Oh!

Come!

Welcome.

- My room is upstairs. - Oh!

Come.

This is my room.

Ah…?

- Is your dad a locksmith? - What?

Sorry!

Come!

Oh no, underwear!

- Kadali! - Hmm!

Cigarette and tea, a deadly combination!

Ok!

Ok, done!

Thank you!

- One minute! - What?

Cigarette, tea and music, a deadly combination!

- One minute! - What?

Yeah, one second!

Though you don't look the type, you are very romantic.

I'll play a song.

Hmm.

Will you please stop that song?

I'm losing my impression over that song.

SPB song and super hit, it is great.

I know, but I'm saying that isn't our situation.

Hmm?

No need of any song.

You are a director, right?

Hmm.

Imagine a background music yourself.

I'll imagine mine.

Sorry! Sorry, I'll stop.

- What are you? - What?

What caste are you?

We are.

That means there's no scope for any marriage type stuff between us.

And there is no chance of emotional connection at all.

Only kiss, ok?

At this point, anything is ok with me.

Ok!

Start music.

Hello!

Hmm?

I have goosebumps.

Hmm?

Have you dipped your lips in sugar?

I have seen bits.

But, theory is in no way related to the practical.

It is a different level. I'm going mad.

My hormones are going up and down.

I don't understand at all.

Ok!

It's not good for me to stay any longer.

Ok?

Bye!

Yeah, ok!

The waist thread really has magical powers! Thank you daddy…

Don't you have any heart?

We were together from morning.

We went around and ate together.

We even kissed.

You'll just let me leave when I say I'll leave?

You won't even ask me to stay a little longer?

Oh no!

We must let girls leave when they say they want to leave, right?

We shouldn't stop, right?

Fine!

I'll ask myself.

Can I stay here?

You can stay happily.

But, do you have clothes For college tomorrow morning?

Are you actually innocent or acting like one?

Am I not saying the right thing?

- That's not what I am saying. - Then?

I'm asking if I can stay with you until the course ends.

I know I'm handsome…

But, I didn't know my looks were capable of Flattering a girl to this extent.

Hmm?

Don't flatter yourself.

It's been one week since I came to UK.

It was boring every day.

Today because of you, I wasn't bored at all.

I don't even know how time flew with you.

Forty pounds were spent daily for me.

But today, I spent only 25 pounds.

We can even share rent, if we share the room.

Yes, we can even kiss often like this.

Hmm.

- Hmm. - Tell me.

Who are you?

And me?

- Love? - No!

- Emotional connection? - No!

Good!

Let me know if it's ok for you. I'll shift.

Are you sure?

You're with a strange man in a strange nation…

That too at midnight… Aren't you scared of being alone?

I'd be scared if I was making a mistake. Why should I be scared to do what I like?

Are you scared?

I am confused… A bit.

What do you fear the most?

I have so many fears.

I was afraid as a kid to show marks sheet to my father.

I was afraid even to say I don't like doing a job.

Same with heights, speed and I fear even seeing blood.

You… What do you fear the most?

No idea,

I can't say unless that situation arises.

Situation…?

- Cockroach! - No!

- Blood? - Ptch!

Anyone would fear seeing blood.

I was frightened for the first two months, after that, I became habituated.

- What do you mean first two months? - Huh!

Good night!

- Hi, good morning brother-in-law! - Good morning, brother!

- Why so late to open the door? - Nothing, brother!

My luggage is here, right? I came to take it, come.

Your luggage is safe, brother.

Dude, I'm getting late. Let me in, I'll take my luggage.

- No, brother. I will bring. - It's ok! Let's go.

Why aren't you letting me take my own luggage bro!

Oh no!

Brother…

How, dude?

You came just yesterday, right?

Yes, brother.

Are you feeling shy now?

Say something, man.

Brother…

- That girl came over. - Ok!

- She said, she'll stay. - Ok!

I said ok, brother.

Did you?

- Brother! Brother… - Is it done?

- Means? - It's not done, brother.

- Is it all done? - Brother! Nothing happened, brother.

- There's more? Not over? - Brother! Nothing happened.

I casually asked to mingle up.

Are you directly cooking up biryani?

Don't say that, brother.

One day…

Go, man.

Go and get the luggage.

- I'll bring, brother. - Go!

That's why they say not to trust film people.

- Enough! Enough of what you did. - Brother! Careful!

“In a foreign land, Playing the hero…”

“We fly like kites, you and I…”

“In colour, features and language, so many differences between us…”

“But our fears are all the same… for you and me…”

“This is the life we wished for…”

“A place where none belongs to anyone…”

“Miles and miles away… from our people, and hometowns…”

“There are no boundaries…

don't put a mask on your mind anymore…”

Drop now!

“Everyone here is a foreigner,

but we bring the beat, Full-on desi!”

“You may be a youngster, you're not any kid, hey foreigner!”

“Let's live out loud, why be shy?”

That looks great, right?

Buy it.

Did you see the rate? It is 300 pounds.

You are anyways doing part time. Even your birthday is approaching.

My expenses of one month will last with that. No need.

Come. Let us go to Manoj.

Come on…

Remember one thing…

It's six pounds an hour.

- They pay you cash in hand. - Ok.

This is all very illegal. British club.

Spoons on the left, forks on the right side.

- Okay? - Hmm.

Working two jobs is the only way to clear out your loans in India.

But remember one thing…

don't tell anyone here that you're working there, okay? Got it?

You can come here whenever required, work by the hour,

and they'll pay you cash in hand.

"We work part-time jobs, we shop branded clothes…"

"We say friendships, just for needs…"

"We battle assignments"

"Our rooms are never clean…"

"But on Instagram and Facebook, We're the kings!"

“We walk down memory lane,

and get tired…”

“Deep inside, there's a silence our own lonely battle…"

“There is no way, move on…”

"Everyone here is a foreigner,

but we bring the beat, Full-on desi!"

"You may be a youngster, you're not any kid, hey foreigner!"

"Let's live out loud, why be shy?"

- Cheers! Happy birthday, brother-in-law! - Thanks.

Wow!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Hmm. Ok.

It's past twelve, what are we waiting for?

Two minutes, please.

- I'll go to sleep now. - Hey, wait.

I'm sleepy.

Huh.

I expected my mom to call.

Hey! Mummy, right? Put it on speaker.

Brother…

- Put it on speaker. - Ok, brother!

Hello.

- Hi mummy! - Happy birthday, son!

Thanks, mummy!

Wait, hold on for a minute!

- Hey, wish him. - Come on, let it be.

Come on, wish him. He will feel bad.

- Happy birthday! - Yeah, thanks!

Hello! Son, what are you doing?

Listen, don't get into drinking and going around at nights.

No mummy, I'm not drinking.

Hmm. One more thing.

- Be very careful with the girls. Ok? - Hmm.

- Ok mummy! - Ok, fine! Sleep now.

- Ok mummy! - Ok Bye!

Ok! Let's go.

"In a foreign land Playing the hero…"

“We fly like kites you and I…”

"In colour, features and language, so many differences between us…"

"But our fears are all the same… for you and me…"

- Did you like the gift? - Yeah! I liked it.

Did you like it very much?

I liked it, but…

- But you didn't like it? - No…

I thought you'd give some other gift.

What gift?

I mean, I expected you to give that watch as gift.

Ah, what?

- What? - Watch!

You…

That costs 300 pounds, idiot.

In our currency, that is twenty five grand.

It's my one month expenses. How did you expect me to spend on you?

Cute Birthday boy, sleep now.

Dude…happy birthday, how are you celebrating your birthday?

- I got to say something. - Tell me.

I'm in a live-in relationship.

Hmm, with Harish who you met on Facebook, right?

Damn, no!

Then, with who?

- With a girl! - Girl?

Hey, it is not even a month since you went there.

Live in with a girl already…

Fine, where is she from?

um…

Don't you know? Fine!

Her parents' names?

You are in live-in, right? Don't you know even that?

I never insisted…

She also never said anything whenever I asked.

Scammer! YES!

She definitely must be a scammer or cheater.

She's been staying with you since a week and avoiding mentioning family details…

She'll definitely loot money from you.

Dude, come close.

Hmm.

Shall we talk some facts, dude.

If anything, one look into my account balance will Incline

her to donate a 100 pounds and go.

What do I have for her to loot?

Hmm.

That too is true.

Hey, now you come close.

You think you look like Mahesh Babu, for her to fall for you instantly?!

- That's correct. - I understand now.

Some girls are like that.

They'll commit to any fool, they come across when they get this freedom.

Hey, what are you saying man?

No, not you. I'm saying in general context.

Hmm.

Ok, tell me…

- Have you done it? - Done what, dude?

I mean, you are living together from one week, right…

Have you done it?

Done what, dude?

Hey, I know you understood. Have you done it?

Well…

- It is done on the top level. - What top level?

Say properly

Just… we kissed.

Is it just kiss?

We are good friends.

Friends?

Yes, Friends…

After the course, we'll have our own lives.

They say something like… no strings… attachment…

Dude, do you think it is a joke for you to be with a girl 24/7…

and separate after 10 months?

It is all going well and why are you trying to frighten me?

I'm not frightening you. I'm saying be cautious.

Hmm. Dude, a small suggestion for you.

For your relationship to continue the same way…

Don't do it.

- What? - Sex!

Once you have sex, Girls tend to cry.

Once they cry, we get emotionally connected to them.

Once we're emotionally connected, Possessiveness develops

Once Possessiveness develops, Domination starts

And once domination starts, mind becomes a mess and life gets screwed.

And as soon as that happens, the chemistry between you two will turn into history.

Do one thing.

Who is that girl, where did she come from and why is she with you?

You must find all these details. Got it?

Bye.

What is your problem, mom?

I told you not to keep disturbing and torturing me like this, right?

I've told you I'll come back, right?

Don't get angry, listen to me first.

Don't you have common sense?

Don't you know to knock the door and enter?

Sorry!

Huh. It's ok.

Don't repeat next time.

- Hmm? - Ok.

What? You seem to be tensed.

No… Nothing!

Why are you suddenly drinking wine?

Just felt like it.

Can I ask you something?

I know what you wish to ask.

Ok, then tell me.

A boy has been living together with a girl For a month in the same room…

- but nothing's happened between them yet… - Nothing happened…

- I can understand how he feels… - No… not that!

Then what?

I wish to know about you.

Who are you, where are you from and who are your parents?

Why are you actually living with me?

There are so many guys more handsome and richer than me and you…

Could have been with them…

That's what I don't understand.

- You wish to know about me? - Yes!

Once you have sex, we get emotionally connected to them

Once we're emotionally connected, girls tend to cry.

Oh my…

Hey, why are you calling me in this state?

Are you caught in any online scam?

If you are this silent, I'm guessing something very violent happened.

Hey, I told you just this evening not to do anything, right?

Is everything done?

Hmm.

Did she cry by any chance?

- No dude! - Thank God!

Then you're half saved.

- She didn't cry, but… - Hmm, but what?

I cried, dude.

Why did you cry?

No idea, dude.

Tears rolled down from my eyes.

It felt so special.

Her touch is a divine feeling.

That isn't any wine or whisky, Aditya.

Dude, you don't have the talent to handle these relationships.

You worry for every small detail.

Yes, dude.

I'm scared that I might get emotionally connected to her.

Hey, don't worry. I'm here, right?

- Let's manage. - Hmm.

Hmm. What is she doing now?

She is asleep.

Hmm. What?

She's happily asleep.

- She's asleep? - Yes!

Did she have any drinks?

- Yes, dude. - That's it!

I wondered how this happened so suddenly, when nothing happened all month.

All of this took place in the trance of drinks.

So…

After waking up in the morning, you should behave as if nothing had happened.

You won't feel emotionally connected then.

You have to behave… As if nothing happened, dude.

Tell me, how will you behave?

As if nothing happened, dude.

You go now and sleep. We shall wake up in the morning tomorrow and plan.

- About how to divide you both… - Ok!

Bye, dude!

- Dude! - Yes!

How will you behave?

As if nothing happened, dude.

- How? - As if nothing happened.

Super!

As if nothing happened.

As if nothing happened.

- Then, he must've been to casino… - Hmm, Kada…

Bro, where?

Bro…

Is everything ok?

Yeah!

Hmm! Ok!

- Can I tell you something? - Hmm?

To tell you frankly, I feel he is a bit weird.

No no, he's a nice guy.

Hmm.

But, yea he's definitely a bit weird.

After having sex…

a guy is feeling shy.

If anyone finds out that I cried,

will society accept me?

Why are you late?

I had extra classes.

Are you studying at Chaitanya or Narayana?

I study at the same college too, right?

Correct.

Why are you acting so differently?

I don't know.

I made dinner. Come, let's eat.

Okay.

What did you do all day?

I went to class in the morning, finished my assignments in the library,

spoke to Sinjith, took the bus, and came home.

Part-time?

I didn't feel like going today.

How do you plan to repay your loan?

You said you'd return to India after your Master's

and didn't even want a job.

You spent a lot of money on parties and clothes.

How do you plan to manage money?

After having sex, girls tend to cry.

And once they do, we get emotionally attached to them.

Once we become emotionally attached, possessiveness develops.

And once that happens, domination begins.

No matter how much you try, you can't dominate me.

Such a creep!

Are you a human or an animal?

Don't you have any pity or mercy?

You won't even ask why I'm leaving?

Won't even bother to ask me to stay?

Were you not leaving to do laundry?

Tell me the truth, dude.

Are you really this innocent, or are you acting like you are?

You need this cigarette so urgently when I'm trying to talk to you?

Tell me the truth,

You find me boring now that we've done it last night, right?

- What, no! - Then what?

Um…

Tell me what it is!

You're behaving differently since this morning.

Please don't be silent. That irritates me even more.

I…

- What? - I…

- I feel shy. - What?

I feel shy.

What?

Are you feeling shy, dear?

Yes!

Why shy, dear?

- Remembering what we did last night… - Ok!

I feel very much shy.

- Can I tell you something? - Tell me!

I cried last night.

Why did you cry?

No idea, but I cried.

- You know how awkward you behaved? - Oh no!

I felt awkward thinking I may make you feel awkward

and was behaving awkwardly, but…

I really didn't behave awkward to make you feel really awkward.

That's all. Yes.

Aditya, look here.

Look here.

I will give you a most valuable gift.

- The Watch? - Will you never come out of that?

You will continue hanging to the watch?

Sorry!

You are the most beautiful soul. Do you know that?

Though I'm staying with you from one month,

I felt I still had my privacy.

I didn't feel obligated to change my opinions Or interests for you.

Tell me, where can we find a better companionship than this?

It's ok not to attempt to do good things for a person like you,

but I will never do any harm.

Your mental health should never get disturbed because of me.

If I ever feel like your peace of mind is disturbed because of me…

I'll leave the same day.

Just ten months.

After that your life is yours and my life is mine.

You and I will be nothing to each other.

Just be with me the same way you'd be with your male best friend.

Just the sex is extra in between us.

That is nature, necessity and it is so natural.

Don't be so obsessed and overthink about it.

Hmm. Ok!

Ok, think about it.

Only if you too are able to stay without getting emotionally connected to me…

I'll stay,

If not, tell me right away and I'll leave.

Ok? No hard feelings,

I understand. Think about it!

- Kadali! - Hmm!

Fine, stay back.

Sure?

Yes!

What are you?

And me?

- Marriage? - It will not set.

- Love? - Won't happen!

- Emotional connection? - Won't come!

Kiss?

Yes!

Oh! I see!

- You want the kiss? - No need.

You are so cute, dear. You are my cutie pie.

You know when a relationship turns epic?

When your partner says two things to you…

One- after sex, when your partner tells you

I'm satisfied.

Second is…

I'll tell you after the interval!

20 refrigerators…

8 washing machines…

Hello!

Dude, how are you?

- Dude… - Come to the point, man.

Shh…

- Sorry… - Hey! Why are you being formal with me.

Listen, I'm busy right now. Get to the point.

I'm living the best moments of my life right now, dude.

I didn't realize life would be this beautiful when a girl enters your life!

Yes, yes, it's that way only in the beginning. New fun!

You're jealous.

- Jealousy!? - Me and jealous…

Hey…

She warned me

- not to talk to idiots like you. - She did?

Mark my words, you'll call me one day and weep badly.

- If not, I'll change my name. - Ok, change it then.

I have a house party, I have to go.

Hey, hello! Hello…

Let's go home.

Wait, I'll come.

Come, let's leave right away.

You leave. I'll stay for a while and come.

Prashanti, I cant handle it anymore! Breakup!

- Ok. - Breakup!

Just a while ago, you said you'd marry her…

It won't work out, brother-in-law. It'll not work out.

You'll call her in the morning again. I'm sure of it.

I'm not stepping down this time.

You ate capsicum, right?

Huh!

You generally are stable, right? What happened today?

- You're the reason. - Me?

What have I done?

You got bored of me after having sex, right?

We only did it like three times…

Four times?

Four and half times!

What do you mean four and half times!

You are the one that said not to have expectations, right?

Move!

Why don't you at least change your dress?

I don't understand these assignments and dissertations…

- Are you feeling nauseous again? - No.

I'm fine.

- Sure? - Yeah!

- Did you eat anything? - No!

- Shall I get something for you? - No need.

- At least drink some milk. - No!

- Please! - I said no, right?

You first freshen up. You smell so bad.

Hmm.

Drink.

No, dear!

You shouldn't sleep with an empty stomach. Drink…

I said no, right?

Will you drink it, or not?

Don't you get it? I said no, right?

Did someone do black magic on you?

Hey! Don't come close. I'll call the Police.

So now, it's a problem for me to even come close to you?

Who exactly are you?

Why are you behaving like this?

Are you a psycho killer?

- Me? - Hey…

- Psycho?! - Hey…

I look psycho to you?!

First you used me, and now you're playing innocent!

I used you?!

Yes! You totally used me.

You used me and now after fulfilling your lust, you want to leave me.

That's why you're saying things like I'm psycho and I smell bad!

Oh my… Me?

Who else, then? It's you!

I feel disgusted with myself for being with you all these days.

Kadali, please Kadali…I'm scared.

Don't widen your eyes like that and stare at me.

Look, I'm sweating too.

- Damn! - I beg you, Kadali.

Kadali, look at my legs. They are shivering.

I've decided now.

I'm not staying in this house now for even a second. I'm leaving!

Move.

Kadali… Please…don't go!

- Please, Kadali! - Don't touch me!

I feel so gross that I had sex with someone like you!

Now listen!

If you try to follow me or try to talk to me, I'll bite your neck. Got it?!

Your neck… I'll bite it!

Hey Aditya, why did you call me at this time?

Dude, this girl is very odd.

She's doing crazy things! I'm so scared.

- I'm very scared, man. - Cool dude.

Cool!

Let's analyze the situation.

Why did you and she get into a fight?

Because I didn't drink the milk.

- What? - Yes, dude!

She caused chaos because I didn't drink the milk.

- Which milk? - Buffalo milk, dude.

What do you mean buffalo milk, you idiot!

I should not be trusting a guy like you…

You must have done something intentionally!

I swear dude! All I did was refuse to drink the milk she offered.

She did everything after that.

Please say something, dude. I've no clue what to do.

Fine, you said fight was about milk, right?

Go drink that milk in front of her silently.

She's not here.

Not there? Where did she go?

She fought with me and left.

Then what are you still doing in the room?

She said she'd bite my neck if I followed her.

- Bite your neck? - Yes, dude.

I don't know what to do.

Say something dude, please.

- Fine, is any milk left? - Yes, dude!

Put some curd in it,

- and eat in the morning. - Ok, dude!

What do you mean OK you idiot?!

If something happens to her, you'll have a Police case on you!

Go find her quickly!

- Ok… I'm going. - Fine, fine go!

- Hey, Aditya… - Hmm?

You said I was jealous… how about now?

This is not the right time.

Don't worry about anything, we will find that girl. Follow her.

Dude, I don't see her.

- Ok fine, come back. - Ok, dude.

Rascal, keep searching! Follow her!

- I see her! I see her! - Follow her! Follow!

- Dude… - Tell me.

- She went into the house. - You too go in.

- Dude… - Huh!

This crazy girl fell asleep.

That's it!

She ate, got drunk, screamed, walked, vomited, got tired and slept.

Don't mess with her anymore.

Go silently and sleep next to her. We'll deal with this in the morning.

This curly haired siren offered to stay with me and I excitedly obliged,

it's all my fault.

No, No, it's actually my dad's fault.

He forced me to come to UK!

Why is she coming close again?

I'm sorry.

Oh Come on, no need for sorry and thanks between us…

Stop…Please don't say anything for some time.

I must tell you some things about me.

I'm from Vizag.

My father is crazy about the caste system.

My mother is a very nice woman.

She never does anything against my father's will.

At home, I'm provided everything without having to ask for it.

But, they never ask me about what I actually want.

Even in this generation, some girls have to marry according

to their parents' expectations.

I too am one of those girls Going either to UK or US to escape marriage.

I fought a lot to come here.

Ten months… One month is already done.

That's it. After that, I'll have to go home.

They will give half of

our property as dowry just to marry me off to a richer guy.

If I wear a nice saree and update my status pictures daily…

My parents will be happy.

Can you roll a cigarette for me?

- What happened? - Don't want it

My parents already arranged a few suitable matches for me.

They'll get me married within two to three months after I'm back in India.

But I… wish to be a Professor.

I wish to do Masters in Philosophy.

All this seems like a very small problem to you, right?

You feel like telling me to just let go and do as my heart says, right?

Hmm.

The thing is…

If someone harasses you in an Office, To whom would you complain?

- HR… Right? - Hmm.

To whom would you complain when someone harasses you on the roads?

- The Police… Right? - Hmm.

But when your parents are torturing you at home to get married…

To whom should I complain? Even if I tell someone,

they'll say that's how parents show their love.

I… feel like screaming aloud in my house.

I want to tell them that I wish to live as I please!

I can't change them, But I also can't let go of them.

Not just that…

I have PCOD.

I get very irregular periods.

I get heavy bleeding and mood swings.

I get very cranky.

That's why…

I behaved so weirdly today.

My mom keeps calling and irritating me everyday to talk to one boy or another

I just couldn't handle it anymore.

I didn't know what to do.

I tried really hard to control myself. But…

- Aditya, I'm sorry dear. - Kadali…

Kadali…

I'm so sorry, Aditya.

I screamed at you a lot.

You had nothing to do with any of it. I'm really sorry.

The way you talk, the way you sin…

Everything seems so genuine to me, Aditya.

Aditya, can I ask you something?

Hmm.

I'll leave for India in nine months.

I beg you, please.

Don't leave me for what happened today, I wasn't acting like myself. Aditya, please!

Kadali… It's ok. Calm down.

Come, lie down here.

It's ok.

That was the day I realized…

not every smiling girl is actually happy.

She'd laugh, then she'd suddenly go silent

She'd get socially awkward, then suddenly become super social.

She'd drink, cry, eat like crazy.

She'd buy random stuff when stressed…

Suddenly, she looks at me and gets totally romantic.

I don't know what this thing between us is called… love, anger, or just a need.

But, from this moment…

I decided to take good care of her until she goes to India.

“The sun has never known such a new light”

“The moon has never seen such a glow”

“Like a fragrance the earth has never known”

"What is this… what is this…?"

“A brand-new poem, no poet has ever written”

“A new meditation, no sage has ever known”

“A divine world, even the gods have never seen”

"What is this… what is this…?"

“You changed my life, hey cute peacock”

“You showed me the heavens, my flowery Kadali”

“I turned a kid, with your touch”

“I can't live without you”

"Sweet heart…"

"Sweet heart…"

"I have no wings,

Yet I'm flying and floating in the stars…"

"No clouds in sight, Yet some breeze and rain…"

"You showered beautifully in me

Is this true

or am I dreaming…"

“I pinched myself and tested…”

"Sweet heart…"

"Millions of sitars played inside my heart at once…"

"It feels the same now in me… What's this… What's this…"

My eyes feel like millions of stars Have suddenly burst into light…

“Like a grand festival come alive before me… What's this… What's this…”

“I'm now in some other world”

“My heart started beating with increased speed”

“You tied me up with your beauty…”

“There has never been so much happiness before”

“Sweet heart…”

“Oh my love, did this nation hide you for me”

“What could it be thinking? Sweet heart…

"Whatever, your companionship feels like… An unexpected spring for me"

“This wonder feels great”

“Sweet heart…”

"Sweet heart…"

Hey Aditya, how are you?

We are celebrating the elders today. You too pray to them.

Ok, mom!

Look! Grandpa, grandma!

We don't have great grandfather's photo. So we put a mirror.

We offered toddy and mutton as grandpa likes them.

Can you see properly, hmm?

Hey, where are your clothes?

Why are you sweating?

I was… exercising, daddy.

From when?

From the day I arrived, daddy.

- Oh, did you build muscles then? - Yes, daddy.

Whatever! Come take a look.

Get their blessings.

Don't pay attention to him, you keep exercising.

Ok? Do it well.

- Ok, bye! - Bye!

Ticket 55 pounds…

Expenses 1,000 pounds, that is 85,000…

Room expenses 85,000…

Some jacket was there. Rani…

Why are you doing this now?

That egg puff jacket that day…

It's a Puffer jacket.

Yea…

- 100 Pounds… That is 8,500… - Hmm.

Fine, what's wrong now?

I mean, we spent so much to send him there.

Do you think he will actually study?

All he's doing are his exercises.

Do you think he'll actually study?

Listen, he'll study.

He'll get a good dowry only if we spend all this money on his studies.

Drink your tea.

What logic is this?

Hey, getup!

Aren't you getting late for college?

I need to go for the part time work.

Didn't you get your period yet?

It's delayed by two days. I've irregular periods, right?

It'll come.

It's never been delayed this long before.

- Hello! - Tell me.

Are you missing me?

Not missing you, missing it.

- Hello! Excuse me, how long? - Tsk. What are you saying?

What's missing?

- Your Period! - What?

Wasting time.

- Did you get it? - No!

And I won't get it either.

You have absolutely zero romantic sense. Bye.

Nothing to worry about…

- Everything's looking very good! - One second, sir!

Did you get it?

Is it an Amazon order to get When you order it?

What's wrong with you? Why do you keep pestering me?

Can you not let me live in peace?

- Sorry, sorry! - Cut the call!

Dude, how could you be so irresponsible?

I don't understand, brother. We took all precautions.

But, one time…

- I think while watching ‘Arjun Reddy'… - Oh god!

Stop it. No more details.

I'll text you details about a pregnancy kit.

- Get it from the store. Get the test done. - Ok, brother!

Even if it's positive, don't worry about it.

There'll be a minimum one to two weeks of time.

- Ok? - Ok, brother.

We have a known Doctor here… he'll take care of it all.

A Doctor?

We'd have get it operated?

I'm scared of blood, brother.

You are scared of blood? Bloody fool!

If you had thought about this then, you wouldn't need to over think now.

Don't worry. One tablet will fix everything.

Don't over think too much.

- We'll meet in the evening. - Hmm.

Why didn't Manoj come yet, Aditya?

He'll be coming soon.

How can the birthday boy come late?

Come inside.

Play, it's your turn next.

Your turn.

Come! It's ok.

What?

Everyone is around, why now?

I need to give you some thing.

You already gave me a birthday gift, why again now?

This isn't a gift.

Then? Hmm?

For your tension relief…

Tada…

Take this test.

If it's positive, there is a tablet.

That tablet will take care of everything.

Just because I'm sleeping with you,

It doesn't mean that you can take me for granted!

- Hmm! - That's it, right?

Tell me if there's something new.

Oh god, why is she here?

Nothing to worry, it's ok.

You are a moron.

Muffin?

No muffin or coffin! You are a moron.

Kadali… I'm sorry!

Leave it.

I too am tensed.

I didn't want to tell you because I knew it would make you even more tensed.

Results are known to be accurate if we do the test early in the morning.

I'll do the test tomorrow.

If the result shows positive…

I'll marry you, Kadali.

What?

Yes!

I'll marry you.

We'll finish MS, take up some type of a job and stay right here

I'll take good care of you, Kadali.

- Your Cinema, Direction… - All those are secondary…

You, me and our child…

Let's be here for four to five years…

and go back when our families calm down.

Remember this, Aditya.

Love should be the only reason for marriage, not pregnancy.

But, all this is because of me right?

It didn't happen because of you, Aditya!

It happened because I allowed it.

I can take care of myself.

And please don't me mentally too.

Aditya!

Ok. Relax!

Relax! It's ok.

Everything is ok. It's ok.

Earlier…

I suggested we should get married…

But if the pregnancy actually gets confirmed…

I'm scared to imagine our lives.

It's ok. It's ok.

I know.

You'll handle everything without involving me.

But…

Just because you can handle it

Doesn't mean I have no mistake in this, right?

All this will haunt me my entire life.

Hey, look here. Huh!

Let me tell you one thing, remember it.

My body talks to me the same way

you're talking to me right now.

It communicates with me.

My body is telling me that I am not pregnant.

Hmm?

Please, please don't overthink and mess up your head.

Everything will be alright by tomorrow.

Ok?

Please!

Nothing will happen, nothing!

You are alright.

Alright!

Ok.

Huh, ok?

Come, come.

I'm feeling guilty.

I'm guilty.

I'm guilty.

Hello, Kadali!

Yeah, tell me.

Kadali, where are you?

Did you check?

Congratulations!

You are not a father.

Thanks, Kadali.

Where are you?

At the restaurant.

No one came to work today. Only one person did.

I was called in urgently to help out.

But…

I have really bad back pain.

Even my legs hurt. I'm not able to do this.

I wish to see you.

I want to be with you.

Can you please come to the restaurant?

Let me relax for some time.

I also have work and college.

We'll meet tonight. Get on with your work.

But…

Please understand, bye.

“In thought, in word…”

You know what, Kadali?

After my past relationships, I've given up on love.

But seeing you and Aditya,

I feel like there's hope.

I'm very jealous of you.

Do you know, for what I feel more jealous?

Imagining the daughter he'd have…

She's going to have the best father.

Hmm.

Are you blushing?

This is exactly why one shouldn't trust people from the film industry.

Don't say that, bro!

Alright, then.

The course wraps up in another 2 months, right?

Hmm.

Propose to her.

We're just good friends, man!

Everyone in the world understands that you are in love except you.

Propose to her.

Even so, if I were to propose, she wouldn't accept…

she has good clarity.

Yea mom…

Kadali, what are you doing?

I'm so happy today.

I am also very happy!

There is good alliance from US.

your father wants to get you married in three months.

You can return now.

Mom, there are still two months left…

Oh, I knew you'd talk like that.

After all, I'm the one who fought with Dad to send you there.

Mom, please.

I am unable to manage your father anymore.

It's up to you now.

What happened Kadali…

Why are you looking so dull?

I'm leaving to India next month.

Has it already been eight months?

Yes

It has.

I'm leaving.

Right. You must go.

I think you're also getting pressured at home right?

Do you drink milkshake?

Certain realities and people enter our lives…

To teach us a few lessons, Aditya.

And for them, we become willing to change ourselves.

I'm staying with you from eight months.

How can I… live without you, Aditya?

For the first time,

I feel like I'll be OK without my parents.

There's no person more important than you in my life, Aditya.

I'm telling you now.

I don't really care… Whether you are…

Caste, religion, money… I don't care about anything.

I just want to marry you.

Will you marry me?

See!

I'm leaving in one month.

I don't wish to make things awkward at all before leaving.

I'll count to five.

If you accept, remove your hoodie and give it to me.

If not, just forget that this discussion happened.

I'll never bring this topic up again.

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

Kadali!

Weather is so cold…

If I removed my hoodie, I'd freeze, that's why I didn't give it.

Remove it, take the hoodie off first!

Sir, we trusted you to pay back the loan money. How can you do this?

Hmm…

I…

I, too, did not expect Madhuleyti to file an IP (insolvency petition) like this.

I'll do something soon, ok?

- Ok, Sir! I'll see you later. - Hmm.

Oil packet 500, chilli packet…

- Here, brother! - Napkin…

Bro, I already paid right?

No bro, this is the latest.

- Isn't it from last month? - No!

Fine, write it on my account.

How many more should I write? Account is at two grand, bro.

Do you have any problem if it's paid in pounds?

No bro, do you have it now to pay?

- Oh right away? - Yes!

One minute!

My friend lives in UK.

I'll just be back.

- Why don't you stay? - One minute!

I'll be back.

- Hi, dude! - Hey Aditya!

- Urgently two… - Hey, I was thinking to call you.

No problem, you go first.

My issue is only worth two grand.

Kadali and I are in a serious relationship.

We decided to get married.

We plan to come back to India and get married in two months.

Congrats, dude! You finally made a decision.

Hmm! You are about to start a family, that too in Madhapur. 2 BHK and all, super.

Thanks, dude.

Do you know gas cylinder prices right now?

Dude?

Idiot, you know how much tea costs?

Idiot, you know the rate of this Gold Drop oil packet?

You write it on my account!

You rascal, you were sent to UK to study, what the hell are you doing?

Hey, we both are in love.

Idiot, you'd develop these same feelings for any girl you spend six months with!

You stay away from her for six months and then say the same.

I'll accept it then.

She herself proposed to marry.

First, she said we'll stay together for ten months…

and then go our separate ways and you agreed.

Now she's saying she's seriously in love and wants to get

married and you agreed to that too!

Can you not make your own decisions, Aditya?

Fine, forget all that.

I'll ask you a question, give me an honest answer.

When was the last time you worked on your script?

Shall I answer?

The day you landed in London is when you mentioned working on your script.

- Did you go to a club or pub? - I worked on my script.

Script?

'Crazy man, you landed just yesterday, right? Settle down first…'

'What else do I have other than cinema?'

What did you say then… ”What else do I have other than cinema?”

And now all you talk about is your girl And your marriage

Do you understand what you are doing?

Aditya?

Come.

- Two minutes! - Ok!

Hey Aditya! You often ask me right…

“What is this ‘Vijay Sales…

Manager' thing? Don't you have any dreams of your own?”

Just like you, I also wanted to be an entrepreneur and start a company.

After all that fighting, I ended up marrying for love.

And now, I'm into Dussehra sale and Christmas sale at the store

Twenty TVs and Forty washing machines!

Aditya, ours are middle class lives, We don't get everything we want.

Just get that into head.

You aren't a kid now.

That phone call served as a reality check.

I want to marry Kadali.

But the pressure her parents are putting on her regarding the marriage…

and the pressure that consequently falls on me…

can we handle it?

Yes mummy

Hello, did you eat?

Yes, mummy

Er… Son, the thing is…

How come you haven't sent your loan repayment money recently?

Mummy, I had some expenses. I'll send it soon.

Son, it's getting a bit challenging for your dad here.

There will be a bit more interest to pay, that's it right?

No big deal, we'll pay it.

What's wrong with you, why are you talking like that?

Whatever, I said I'll take care of it.

Anyhow…

Why couldn't he call me himself and ask for the money?

Why did he make you call me?

Hey!

Your dad never asked me to call you. I called you myself.

So you think your dad needs to call and beg To repay your own loan money?

You've become too arrogant now.

You think you're a big shot?

No need to pay, we'll manage somehow. Hang up now.

Hello?

Yeah! Tell me, Kadali!

Can you come to the beach?

The Beach?

I insist. Please? I want to give you something.

Guys, our results are out.

- See mine too. - Check yours.

I'll check my results and come.

- Fine, come fast. - Hmm. Ok!

- I passed. - Super.

I cleared as well.

- And you? - I cleared it too.

Good!

I will be heading to London.

My brother-in-law promised to get me an internship in his company.

What happened dude?

I failed one due to a late submission…

That's ok, don't worry.

- You can retake it in six months. - Hmm!

Get approx ten ready and it'll be done.

Aditya, did you check Kadali's results?

She passed all of them.

Kadali passed, and you failed?

I booked my tickets.

I'm leaving next week.

Aditya! Being together is just as important as

succeeding in our professions.

It's just for six months, right?

You come back after finishing your course.

We'll get married once you are back. Hmm!

I love you!

Will you wear the same outfit You wore on the first day we met?

Why?

“This journey feels so beautiful…”

“Every moment is filled with joy…”

“This journey feels so beautiful…”

"This journey…”

Aditya!

Tea and a smoke… Deadly combination!

Hmm.

Hello!

Did you eat, son?

Yes, I ate, daddy.

The thing is…

Tell me, daddy.

I am in… need of some money, son.

Can you send some money?

Yes, I'll send daddy.

It's a bit tight, son.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked.

I mean…

I'll keep an account of whatever you send, son.

I'll show you a detailed account of everything.

I was the one who sent you there…

So I should be paying the fees.

I will pay it son.

It's my responsibility.

I'll repay it back to you again, son.

I'll definitely repay.

Ok?

Daddy…

Ok, daddy.

from some months…

I am the one not making payments.

I'll start doing part time again, daddy.

I'll clear it all in six months.

Don't worry about it.

Hmm. Fine, son.

Listen…

Don't tell your mom that I called.

Ok, daddy!

She'll feel bad.

Ok, talk to you later, then.

Ok, daddy!

- Take care. - Hmm.

Aditya! I got you something.

Oh no, you are crying!

Listen!

You'll anyways return to India after six months.

Er… My parents won't agree for our marriage.

I'll leave my home and move to Hyderabad. We can get married then.

You'll become a big director and I will be a Professor.

You'll bag a big award, 'Best Debut Director'.

You'll accept the award and say, ‘I want to dedicate this award to Kadali'.

Hmm? You'll say that, right?

I can't marry you, Kadali.

Aditya…

I want to build a stable life first, Kadali.

I too want the same, Aditya.

What has that to do with this?

It has everything to do with this.

When a girl turns 24, she's asked about when she plans to get married.

But, when a boy turns 24, he's asked about his job whereabouts

Expectations when you're 24 and I'm 24 are not the same!

Society doesn't look at a boy and a girl the same way, Kadali.

Why are you thinking about society, Aditya?

Let's get married.

To be in love, a small room in UK, away from India was enough for us.

But, a wedding requires a large function hall…

And hundreds of guests.

Our parents should feel happy watching us getting married.

That won't work for us Kadali.

I'm saying this after thinking it through, Kadali.

I have a lot of pressure and countless responsibilities.

I haven't made any life decisions on my own until now.

My parents told me to go to the UK. So I'm here.

This room and my job… Manoj got them for me and I accepted.

You came into my life suddenly.

You said you wanted to stay with me, I accepted.

You said no relationship Because you were and I was.

I accepted.

It was you again proposing a marriage… and I accepted.

It was Sinjith who told me how to behave

in this relationship and, I just followed it.

But you gave me your word that we'd get married Aditya…

Yes, I gave you my word.

I like you, Kadali.

But… the sacrifices and complications That come within a marriage…

I don't have the mental strength to handle all that.

If it's hard for a middle class father

to keep his daughter at home without marrying her off…

It's just as hard for an unsettled middle class Son to marry her and bring her home.

That's why I had us recreate our last day as our first day.

Same people, same places… And same clothes too.

There was an excitement on that first day.

We had smiles on our faces.

But now, I'm only worried about what tomorrow holds.

Forgiveness can be requested a hundred times, Aditya.

But, we can only request to get married once.

I made the request…

And you said no.

From now, we mean nothing to each other.

Delete all my memories.

We never met, Aditya.

And we will never meet again.

This is not a joke.

You are overthinking and getting stressed.

Not only are you stressed, You're stressing others out too!

You will never be able to handle the stress of love.

You are a coward. You are not capable to do anything.

Just leave me. But, please…

Please do me a favor.

Never ever try to text me after this.

Don't even try calling me.

I'll cry for two months… and then just like everyone else

I will find someone's ex-boyfriend, marry him, and move on with my life.

But, I can't move on if you try to stay in touch with me. Please!

Do me just this one favor.

Please.

Kadali…

Does a breakup have to end with us fighting like this?

Blaming and hurting each other…

How else should this end then?

Huh?

Can't we just hug?

kiss each other on the forehead…

and say "Take care"?

I love you.

I will miss you and I hate you.

This breakup is for our own good.

Please, understand!

If I ask Kadali to wait,

she'll go against her family and wait for me.

But I don't like it.

Because…

sometimes waiting is more painful than a goodbye.

Doesn't that look great?

Buy it.

"Hey Kadali, leaving me alone…"

"Hey Kadali, remaining just as a dream…"

"Without you, who am I anymore?"

"I've become a shadow with no truth"

"My life has come to a standstill"

"Hey Kadali, leaving me alone…"

Here.

"Hey Kadali, remaining just as a dream…"

“Oh…”

Aditya!

“Oh…”

“Oh…”

She misses you a lot, man.

Take care!

Dude, you always ask me

why I keep breaking up with Prashanti and getting back together.

It's all a loop, that's it.

I don't know why you broke up, but…

listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.

Call Kadali only if you're 100% sure you want to marry her,

if you can't live without her,

and if you're ready to face the consequences.

Otherwise, don't call her, even if you're dying to.

If you call her because you can't control yourself,

your life will end up just like mine.

You can't stay with her, yet you can't let her go.

You'll be trapped in that loop forever.

Every corner of this room Carries your memory

And it's giving me illusions

Don't flow through my heart And don't make tears rain

I let you slip away by myself

You aren't by my side to comfort me

Though you're far beyond my reach

Your thoughts still won't leave me

Please cross my path again

Let's travel back to our little nest

Hey, Kadali, you're leaving me alone

Hey, Kadali

You remain a distant dream

Ever since Kadali left, no one I've met

has asked me, "How are you, Aditya?"

They ask, "Where's Kadali?"

I understood then…

Kadali wasn't just my girlfriend. She was my identity.

And I lost my identity.

I miss you, Kadali.

Thank you, sir.

Please count it.

No need, sir.

Hey…

tell me the truth.

You called him and asked him for money, right?

Come on! Why would I ask? Doesn't he know?

We don't talk to each other. Don't imagine such things.

Check the phone. He's calling. Pick it up and talk to him.

- Hello? - Yeah, I got the money, son.

I just repaid the money, and they left.

Dad…

I…

I'm coming to India.

India?

Come, son!

Once you get a job, you won't be able to visit, right?

It's not like that, Dad.

I want to become a director.

I wanted to share this with you.

You've given this some thought, right?

Yes.

Then come back, son.

Okay, Dad.

I'm going to India.

It's difficult to balance love, marriage, and your passion at just 24.

Children of the '90s know all about this.

Under that pressure, I chose passion over love.

I don't know whether that is right or not.

I will become a director.

That's the hope I have.

When you have nothing in your hands, all you have is a little hope.
