'Antics Of Time'

'Bharathiyar, Boys Higher Secondary School, Madurai - 2'

'Write down this formula'

It's zero

Not zero, 6

Hey! Don't cheat

Why are you fooling me?

I saw the page number

'Only if you concentrate, you can become a doctor or an engineer'

If you continue like this...

...you can only serve 'chutney' in your mother's eatery!

Don't giggle I mean you too

Understood? Listen carefully

Fine, I accept I'm out Your turn

No need Let's listen to him

Only then we can be well settled in life

Madcap! If this man had really studied well...

...he should be a doctor or engineer, right?

He's himself a dunce, no wonder he ended up as a teacher here

If he can get a job you think we can't?

'True'

Sir...sir?

Good morning, sir

Yes...?

- Which is grade 6-C? - 'This is the classroom'

This is my grandson He has joined school today

Please keep an eye on him

Get inside

As if we don't have enough oafs one more to the lot, huh?

He seems really pathetic Don't rag him, let him be

I'll take leave, sir

'City life, different from life in a village-'

When you rub both together you realize the-

[school bell rings]

You brought 'idli', huh?

What have you got?

Curd rice

I feel like eating some more

If that's so, you have no other go but to steal the teachers' lunch!

Get that Let's eat

Why aren't you eating? I'm asking you

Don't want, huh?

Help yourself to it

[school bell rings]

'I won't join you to play this evening'

'- Why? - Tomorrow is my birthday'

'I have to buy a dress and chocolates'

Jolly! Buy Èclair candies

That's too expensive My father will never buy it for me

He'll buy only cheap candies

- Yuck! - Will you eat only Èclairs?

Not like that

Let me drop you

We'll keep talking and walk to school

Okay, then go in time safe and sound

How does he know you?

He squealed on us, huh? About eating his lunch?

They have moved into the house that was locked next to mine

He is an orphan

My mother wanted us to befriend him

Make him our friend and what do we do?

'Don't grab Take just 1'

Everyone gets 1 candy You can't take more than that

Hey! Mind you Only 1 candy

Take

Take a candy Today is his birthday

He must be a loony case

His parents must have preferred to die than bring him up I think

Let me go You're hurting me

It's paining Don't...let me go

Stop fighting

Get up

[school bell rings]

Sir, are you looking for your grandson?

He left long ago

- He bashed up his classmate - What do you mean?

The teacher punished him

He ran out as soon as the school bell rang

'Go...go home'

Why are you hanging around here?

He's the one

Why did you hit my son?

Can't you hear me? I asked you a question

Why did you hit him?

Answer me

Sir, why are you scolding him?

What did you do, huh?

'What happened in school? Unless you tell how will we know?'

What happened, Hari's amma?

He bashed up my son's face in a brawl in school

He isn't the kind to be violent

So you think! Look at my son's face

We are bringing him back from hospital, that too on his birthday

Is it your birthday, my child?

Today is his birthday too

'He didn't even wear the new shirt I got him'

'Why should we talk to you?'

Call his parents

Why are you? Ask his parents to come here

Call them

Bro, his parents are dead

Why did you hit him?

Hereafter both of you shouldn't fight, alright?

Whatever it is tell this 'amma'

Okay?

Let's go

Kids will sort it out by themselves

See you

'- No one reprimanded you in school? - They made him kneel down'

'Boys, repeat what I say now'

'Okay, sir'

'In the olden days'

'In a village'

2 friends lived next to each other

Tell me

Hari, get your bag

Okay, sir

How can you alone escape?

You listen to this man boring us to death

'Why did you leave me and go, ma?'

Go...go away

Get lost!

[school bell rings]

"Like clouds unfailing in the skies sailing"

"We'll walk hand in hand On our journey in this land"

"What other strife will they face in life?"

"Who has the answer though? 2 little lives yearn to know"

"As shade from sun's scorching rays"

"As an umbrella when it rains"

"Who will come to our aid in this place?"

"To be comforted by a shoulder"

"As a pal and partner forever"

"Only this true kinship A golden gift of friendship"

"No assurances anticipated"

"Not even a tad disappointed"

"God in our journey will determine our destiny"

"Like clouds colliding in gray skies joyriding"

"On this land we'll stride Hand in hand alongside"

"Who befriends whom here based on circumstances peculiar"

"Bonds tighten to adhere"

"Whatever fate unwritten who is to preach unbidden?"

"Is this a shadow or truth's halo?"

"Tears or smiles, in unity Go hand in hand 50-50"

"Wonder who taught this A new decree it is"

"Ties of kinship a million Kindred spirits a zillion"

"All these fade in comparison"

"This friendship is enough Hardship we faced however tough"

[mobile rings]

Hello, anna

I'm very much at home

What is the matter?

'Oh my God! Okay, bro We'll go'

Hema?

- What, pa? - I have to go for a funeral

Ask your 'sleepy joe' brother to drop you in school

I'll pick you up in the evening

If necessary, you take my vehicle

'- Bro...anna? - Pccht!'

- What...? - Please drop me in school

Why? What is he doing?

He has to attend a funeral it seems

So he asked me to go with you

Which fellow kicked the bucket in the morning?

- Get ready, we'll go - I am ready

You get out of bed, bro

Do you let a man sleep peacefully in this house?

My old man is going out somewhere it seems

I must drop Hema at school

Leave the bike outside

I have left home

- Hema...? - 'Coming, bro'

Let's go

Bro, appa asked us to take his vehicle

This old rattletrap?

No one in this world will ride it other than him

You'll be better off walking!

Zip your lips and come

- Had breakfast, bro? - Not yet

Don't go anywhere

I'll come and drop you

- Bye, bro - Take care

Teasing these young girls

Do you have a heart at all?

'Get lost, nosey parker'

Who is that fellow? He is spoiling for a fight

I'm unable to hook his sister

Leave it, as if she can elude us forever

'We'll tackle her then'

'This is Muthu, where are you?'

- Where are you? - 'I've come to the college shop'

You stay there

I'll drop Easwaran, get refreshed and come

Give me a cigarette, bro

Snuff your cigarette Your girl is watching, right?

So what?!

She was staring daggers at you

You continue to smoke!

You are up to all the mischief and then you blame her shamelessly

That's the joy of wooing

Otherwise there's no spice!

Forget that, in another few minutes, your girl will show up promptly

Looks like this girl has bribed the Corporation for a speed breaker!

- Okay, bye - See you

'Friend, how about tea?'

I must go home and eat, see you

Bye, da

Stop...stop...please

I need to talk to you

Go, if someone sees us you'll get into trouble

Please, bro

What...? Make it fast

Er...I want to...say

You love him That's it, right?

Express your love to him

Why squirm in front of me?

I get all jittery the moment I see him

You must help-

Should I love him instead of you?

Okay, go

I'll talk to him tonight

But it is his decision totally

Just like you stopped me today...

...do the same and find out how he feels

If he turns you down you shouldn't pester him, okay?

Get going

Bro...?

Bonus, huh?

Are you a student of this college?

- No - Then what brings you here?

Same work as yours

Get up Sarcasm, huh?

Better clear out

Go without turning back

Come here

If you wish to come here, you must listen to me

Go and get 2 peanut candies and a cigarette for me

1 cigarette, bro

You could've asked for peanut candies and cigarette earlier

Are you showing off?

What the hell...?

You'll get it from me one day

Clear out now

Go

Ragging juniors like this!

Bro, give me a cigarette

I was waiting for you and feeling so bored

Just to kill time I was having some fun

You...were ragging them?

Then what?

They ridiculed you Such a gasbag you are!

I'll be back

Hey! You go home

Did you study well?

Don't talk to me

Hey, for what?

What is it now?

I saw you like a goon in a 'lungi' and cigarette in hand

Only if you wake up, shower and look for a job, you'll find one

You think they'll come home looking for you?

All your classmates are working

Aren't you ashamed?

If that is so, you should feel ashamed too

- What about me? - Your classmates have...

...a baby in their arm and pregnant with another

You're still loitering with a note in hand

If you had listened to me, we could've had 4 babies by now

Even now it isn't too late

Are you ready?

Why did I even start this?

I'll punch your face

Getting angry?

Okay, forget it

- Better come tonight - Where to?

I told you last week

Our temple festival and 1st time I've taken a vow

Do you even remember that?

Don't whine, I'll come

What time should I be there?

8:30...come at 9 It should be fine

Okay, see you

You'll come without delaying?

We'll come You leave now

- Where to? - I believe some festival in her area

Does it mean tonight is cancelled?

It's enough if we go at 9 it seems

- We can handle that - Okay

Tell me

- Would Pandi have left by now? - Yes, 'ka

- Will you call him? - Is he a kid or what?

This won't work I'll tell you what to do

Akka wants to talk to you

Have you left, my dear brother?

- I'm leaving now - Come before it gets dark

- Drive carefully - Don't worry, akka

'Okay, talk to you later'

- Hello, uncle - Come, my dear

- How are you? - I am good

- Hi - Aunt

Kayal sweety pie Gautam darling

How are you?

Where's akka?

'- She's inside - Making coffee, Gayathri'

How are you, my dear?

I am fine, grandpa

Take blessings from grandpa

It's alright, dear

Bless you with love and laughter

- Freshen up and come, child - Okay, grandpa

Where's appa?

In the temple making arrangements

- Listen - Please sit

When does Gayathri finish her studies?

By end of April or May, pa

As soon as she completes, we must get her married to Pandi

Pandi is getting older by the day

Sure, pa

We will do as you please

- Get it fast, okay? - Sure

[whistles]

- When did you come? - Just now

Wait

I asked Muthu to get some booze We'll have a shot and go

- So soon? - Festival in Gayathri's area

She has invited all of us

We'll guzzle it down and go

That's a temple festival

Then why booze now? We can drink tomorrow

Don't be silly

Are we carrying out the vow?

We'll just stand in a corner and watch the show

She won't even come close to us!

Her whole family will be with her

She won't even notice us

So no problem at all

[folk music]

- Where did you buy it? - Anbu's shop

Talking of Anbu's shop, I remember

That councillor's son stands there and teases all the girls who walk past

One day we should break open his skull

Only then he'll fall in line

First open the bottle

You'll get one tight slap from me

You wanted us to have a quick shot

That's why I hurried

'This is our offering to the Almighty'

'After the prayer the ritual commences'

'Pray to Goddess Shakti'

'Praise be to Goddess Shakti'

'Make way for the ladies'

'Menfolk, stop hovering around'

'Move aside'

Okay, what have you decided?

About what?

That girl who stands daily and looks at you soulfully

You must take a decision, right?

What can we do?

She's just having fun Don't take it seriously

She isn't fooling around

She stopped me on the way after I dropped you

What does she want?

You must say 'yes' or 'no', right?

She wanted me to ask you

What do you want me to say?

Don't you like that girl being happy?

If she flips for me, you want her also to die?

What are you trying to say?

Didn't you get it?

If someone cares for me, they have to die

That's the pattern from my childhood

Don't talk like you're a seer

I'm there for you

Does it mean I'll die?

If you don't shut my mouth, will I die?

There is so much more to face

Even if I die...

...you cannot live

If I die, you have to die immediately, no other go

You can't escape, buddy

Tomorrow morning that girl will ask you

If you like her, say yes We can handle it

Pour me a drink

Let's go soon, otherwise she will yell and make me deaf!

Dance to your tune!

Stop it...enough

Don't disperse

One more beat Allow us to dance

'Let the procession begin'

Goddess Shakti Only you must save everyone

Let us leave

Hey, wait

He's asking you to stop

Just walk along with me I'll handle him

Can't you stop when I ask you to?

What is your problem now?

Who are you? What do you want?

Who...huh?

Don't act pricey

After last night, I don't even know your name

- Shut up and leave - What do you mean?

Ask all the flowers in your garden, my dear

Ask every single grill in your window, my girl

Ask your coconut branches right now, sweetheart

They will sing only my name!

Your gift of the gab can't pacify me

- What is she saying? - She's soooper mad at me

Why...?

All because of you

You got me piss drunk

If we danced without even being aware, what can we do?

Did our feet dance?

Don't we have to respect the booze that went in?

Explain this to her properly

If we booze, our body will dance and make merry automatically

She's well educated Doesn't she know even this?

Wonder what they teach in her college!

I'll give you one tight rap

Don't bug me get me a cigarette

Okay, fine

'Bro, 2 cigarettes please'

Don't come

1 minute

What is the time?

5'o clock

5, huh?

You told me, why wait? Then get going

- See you tomorrow - Okay, bye

Hey! Wait

Can't you take 'no' for an answer? Go away

Wait for me

You think you're some big shot

Why did you talk to my professor?

I just asked her the time

That's so important!

You'll let off steam only at me

Moment you saw your madam you get cold feet, you're in a cold sweat

You get scared and start blabbering!

As if I was scared!!

My eyes won't lie

X-ray eyes!

Go home in time

They may be worried their little boy is missing

Fine, you're forgiven

Even I don't have anyone to call as my own

"She blindfolds me into a forest"

"Shall I tease you head to toe? Shall I explore you and show?"

"Shall I ask you a riddle with my eyes? Search in between for the answer wise?"

"Don't kill me with your words, lassie"

"Dazed and dazzled, I spin dizzy"

"Bashful and blushing I go crazy"

Has he come?

Not yet

He is here

Listen to me Tell him clearly

Don't mess it up, okay?

Okay, I'll go now

I need to talk to you

Go, someone might see us together

- Doesn't matter - I'm not the man you think I am

I know what I'm doing

I'm not gullible Neither is this a game

What do you want now?

Don't be harsh

I want to marry you

I want to spend a lifetime with you, that's all

Yes or no Say something

If you don't like me I'll just walk away

I won't disturb you

I like you

Hey! What happened? Why are you crying?

I'm asking you

Why are you upset?

Did he turn you down?

Then why are you crying? What did he actually say?

He said 'yes'

Then why should you cry?

I don't know

Madcap!

Father has come

I'll go inside

What is this, pa?

Some relative of aunt Susee it seems

She's keen he should marry our Revathi

'His photo, dear'

What did you tell them, pa?

I didn't commit, I took it just to respect their request

Why rush her into marriage now?

Yov! I don't understand a word, clear out

Don't get you

You're so fluent in English

Do you know English at least?

What use is it to me?

He thinks you're a duffer of the first order

What? Wait, I say

Wait

Tell me a, aa, in Tamil

Don't you know the Tamil alphabets?

Are you mad or what?

How will he know Tamil alphabets?

What about you?

I'm a hard core Tamilian from Madurai and you ridicule me

Are you a crazy coot in capital letters?

Your rattling tongue is your biggest asset

- Or else even a dog won't respect you - True that

Tell me

Where?

I'll be there

Who was it?

That girl

What does she want?

She wants to talk, she will be waiting for me at the corner shop

Right, have a ball!

Good morning, bro

What?

My father has gone to Trichy for a meeting

- He will be back only at night - So...?

Will you take me out somewhere?

All that won't work out

You could have sat at home than fall for him

For my sake, please

Have I asked you for any favor?

Just once

Okay

I'll take you

I underestimated you!

Try, try until you succeed!

Proverb is true

You drop bro at home I'll wait here for you

No, thanks, dear Your affection will do

I can find my way You have fun

- I'll drop you - I can go, you enjoy

Okay, let's go

Isn't this your bike?

Why is 'Hari' written on it and not your name?

What does it matter if it's my name or his?

It's all the same

I bought this only for his sake

Why would I even need a bike?

Whatever!

I have 2 wishes just like Hari anna

- Will you fulfill them? - Depends on what?

I want to see you clean-shaven instead of this bearded look

Is this even a wish?

Let it be anyway

Okay, it's alright You look good like this too

But this wish of mine you have to fulfill

What?

You must not drink alcohol hereafter

Won't you wish for something do-able?

It can be done You will if you set your mind

You shouldn't drink hereafter

Promise on me

Let's go

Shall we eat something on the way?

I am hungry

Hey! Drink

I don't want

- Why? - Don't force him

Pour another round for me

Don't be a glutton It won't vanish

Take a small swig

- No need - Why?

This girl put her hand on my head and said I shouldn't drink hereafter

Don't show off!

I'm also in love for many years

Not like this

Ignore him

I'll be there to drink with you

Do you have a choice?

Who will fall for your face?

No one will give his daughter either!

Why the hell don't you just die?

Forget that

You don't want Easwaran's share, right?

Troublesome tramp!

What kind of creature are you! Fine, drink it up

[loud belch]

9th wonder! You've brought me out here

Just like that

Those who fell in love yesterday are going overboard!

- We are good for nothing - Whom do you mean?

Easwaran

As far as I know, he has never taken even 1 day off from work

Yesterday that girl pleaded and got her way

He nodded his head and went out with her

They ditched me c/o sidewalk!

I can digest even that

He refused to drink last night

I asked him and he claims she made him promise!

How many times I would have told you not to drink?

Did you ever pay heed to my pleas? Don't talk to me

She was extra smart She made him promise

Your gray cells don't work overtime

You are a dunce

You have to promise now

You shouldn't drink from today And if you do, forget me

I wanted to spend time with you, I deserve this!

Tell me

Is that so?

I've stepped out now

Why don't you walk back? Stick to the sidewalk

Call me if you need help

- Who was that? - Hema

- She wants me to pick her up - Why don't you?

She'll come home After all, our area

Whatever, she's a girl Why leave her like that?

Your parents have left you to manage by yourself?

You don't classify as a girl

You are a rowdy

Don't bug me Come along

Hema is walking back from school alone

'Acting pricey?'

'Hari, where are you?'

'There is a brawl in front of the shop'

'Come soon'

'Your nephew is being beaten up in front of Anbu's shop, bro'

Go home...go

Hey...dai!

Listen to me

- Listen to me - Who are you?

Take your hands off

Which area are you from?

Do you know who he is?

- Yes, akka - Where are you?

- Your son has been bashed - What do you mean?

- Yes, 'ka - Why do you get angry?

They came into our area and hit him

'We should teach them a lesson, here and now'

Election is round the corner

I've got the mayor's seat, pleading and falling at so many feet

I've spent 30 to 40 million

If I resort to unnecessary violence now it will all go down the drain

What are you saying, akka?

Can't let them go scot free

No one will respect us then

'You don't create any ruckus there'

Be patient

Let the election get over

Then we can show them our true colors, clear out from there

Do whatever!

Lady Luck favored you today

As if one day you won't fall into our clutches!

That will be your doomsday!

'Let us go'

'Nephew'

'I'll take care of them Don't worry, come'

Why are you still thinking of that now?

- Forget it - Misbehaving with girls

Scumbags!

Imagine if I hadn't gone there

Can he do anything if his mother is a councillor?

Nothing drastic happened, right?

Don't brood over it, please

Okay, I need to tell you something

- Can I tell you? - What is it?

Tomorrow is my birthday

I've prayed to God I'll visit the temple with you

Will you take me?

Day after tomorrow, we are going to my mother's hometown

I'll be back in 4 days

Anything specific?

Just like that

We went when amma was alive

My father wanted us to visit her hometown

Okay, I'll leave now My father will come back

We will go to the temple in the morning?

We'll go

Shall we go?

I don't have that habit

You don't have to

You do it for me

Go ahead

"My forehead with 'kumkum' for you to adorn"

"What penance I must have done I am blessed now to be born"

"In a month to unite with you In this birth to share a love so true"

"To live with you is my dream To flow in your bloodstream"

"You gave me this love so exclusive You merged within my soul inclusive"

"I will walk as your sole mate by your side"

"In your mind I am the only soul to reside"

"I am your loyal shadow eternally"

"You're the quest in my life unquestionably"

"I am the earth, my only love Yearning for rain from above"

"You drenched me, o' ravishing with the first showers, so refreshing"

"I melted in your love, relishing"

"My heart softened with compassion In my mind's corner with emotion"

"You changed me with your true affection"

"You gave me this love so unique You merged within my soul like magic"

"Your soul mate I'll be For many a century"

"My forehead with 'kumkum' for you to adorn"

"What penance I must have done I am blessed now to be born"

"In a month to unite with you In this birth to share a love so true"

"To live with you is my dream To flow in your bloodstream"

"In the distant mountain shines a light just like your face glowing bright"

"Like a leaf aloft in the waves sailing my mind floats in your love unfailing"

"Like rain soaked baby's chatter"

"My mind weaves its way hither and thither"

"You are my lover, tall and fair who runs his fingers through my hair"

"Thanks only to you my love over-brims, my beau"

"In my solitude you gave yourself to me"

"To bond with me perpetually"

"Time for 2 hearts merge as 1 symphony"

"Love's rhapsody in heavenly harmony"

Stop...stop

What happened?

My father

What's up? Not even changed your shirt?

Hey!

I was talking to you

What's wrong?

Today

On the way back from the temple her father saw us together

She went home with him

I don't know if she is okay

What are you saying?

When did this happen?

Hello, it's me

My father didn't scold me

He didn't ask me anything either

I called to tell you we are leaving in the morning

When I get back, without postponing come with elders and ask for my hand

'I think my father will agree'

Okay, I'll hang up now

Come back safe

Who was that?

Her father didn't ask her anything

They are going out of station tomorrow

She wants me to meet her father when she gets back

Is that so? We can handle it

Who is the elderly person we can take?

We'll take my old man

You know he is allergic to me

Fat hopes!

- What's wrong? - Wait, I'll tell you

Let's discuss this in the morning

If my father disapproves I will tackle it

He went with his girl on his bike in the morning

Her father saw them together

She wants our elders to meet her father and talk

Not going to work today?

1 minute We need to talk to you

What does sir want?

'I don't want anything'

A girl has fallen in love with Easwar

'He likes her too'

'She wants us to bring our elders and talk to her father'

They are out of town now

Come and talk to her father when they get back

Anything else?

That's all You can go to work

You'll get 1 tight slap from me

Why are you keeping quiet? Is it true, whatever he said?

Then shouldn't you have told me first?

Why is he over-enthusiastic?

I wasn't sure if you would come for me?

That's why I was hesitant

Who else will come if not me?

'I look upon you as another son'

'Tell me when We will go'

Why are you so rude to him?

I was shaken up in case he thrashes us

This is how he should be treated

If we had spoken to him showing our apprehension...

...he would have driven us up the wall with mythology, trying to reform us

He agreed to come That is a big deal for us

That's true

Imagine getting him married and watch him squirm feeling shy!

What does he lack?

He is the new groom

When did you finalize? You never told me

Not yet, they are back now We are going tomorrow

Conduct yourself with decorum there

How else to talk?

Talk properly

Don't be your usual loud mouth and blabber

Get lost, darling! I know what to do

Only I know you know nothing

Selling salt to the sea, huh?

You're crossing your limit, get lost!

Bro, make sure he doesn't bungle it

She seems to know me inside out, eh?

- He's missing? - He will come

You look soooper, bro

Only now he looks human

Tell him also

Why this terrible disguise?

Her wish was to see me clean shaven

Looks like you will end up being hen-pecked!

Okay, let us go

'1st go to the temple Let us pray and then go'

'Start the auto, Shanmugam'

She's real pain!

Pccht!

Madcap! Doesn't even pick up the phone!

Gayathri...?

- Why haven't you gone to bed? - Just like that, ma

- Sleep, dear - Okay, ma

'Forget that'

Where are the other 2 musketeers?

He was quiet You created a scene

Don't interrupt

What a disgrace because of you

How are you insulted?

We are the ones suffering

Will you lose your status if he's your son-in-law?

Show respect

- 'You don't talk' - Whaat?

You shut up or I will break your teeth

Who will respect you after what you did?

Hey! Look here Answer me

You asked us to bring our elders over Then what do you take us for?

- Hey! Come - Yes, I asked him to come

Even now this is what I am saying

I don't want this

Please leave

I won't disobey my father

'Why are you making it ugly standing out on the street?'

'I said 'no' Please leave'

'She doesn't want it seems'

'Who asked you to come here?'

'Will you listen to me or not?'

You don't know how to tackle this We shouldn't spare them

'Come away from there'

You go in

Say something

I'm talking to you

Don't bottle it all up

Spill it out

If you keep drinking nothing will be solved

Can you hear me?

Cat got your tongue?

At least cry your heart out

- You'll feel lighter - Not possible

I can't cry

I couldn't cry, when I saw my parents dead

How will I shed tears for her?

If you can't cry, are you a beast?

Yes, I am an animal

That too a cursed animal

'Hey! Take it easy'

Hey! She is here

Where is your phone? How many times to call you?

What's your problem in telling me what's wrong?

Everything is over

That girl ditched him!

When we went to her house...

...she was simpering at another chap

Are you drunk?

Leave that aside

Then...?

You swore on me you won't drink

He is feeling miserable

Why do things always go wrong for him?

So you are fine with whatever happens to me

Nothing will happen to you

Don't even look at me

Let go of me

I don't want you

Walk away from me

Anyhow you would have also ditched me after a while

You're doing it now

All girls think alike

Get lost!

Are we the guinea pigs for your experiments in love?

What?

What did you say?

'In such bad taste'

You dare hit me?

Wait, I say

Hey! Come back

Sit down

If she isn't there for me...

...can't I survive?

'Don't let your heart heave in pain'

'I'll be there for you forever'

'We don't need anyone else'

"My dear water lily awesome Why did you blossom?"

"In my path, by your own wish you sowed love for us to nourish?"

"Without you even daylight seems dark as night"

"Nights without you, my dear cool moon is hot as coal here"

"I wilt in the barren land ahead I wait in the path you tread"

"Down memory lane my life streams like a brook over dissolved dreams"

"Heart too heavy to swim in this reverie"

"Still...my mind drowns daily"

"Even if I try to hide my strife memories continue true to life"

"Even after a break up, love will follow"

"Like a faithful shadow"

"I die though I'm breathing again"

"I smile though I'm writhing in pain"

"Memories follow as keep sake memento"

"Try as I might, I regret her face I forget to forget"

"This is my plight, I confess"

"My mind is an unholy mess"

"Water lily, you touched a chord"

"In my path, of your own accord-"

What...?

When...?

Where is he now?

No damage on our side, right?

- Is he hurt? - Who is it?

Okay, I'll deal with it

We'll leave now

Whom did you ask was hurt?

I believe our Ravi severed someone's arm

What have you done?

Nothing to worry Inspector is known to us

Instead of the station sent him to the hospital

- Where is he now? - Inside

Why buy trouble?

He lacks the guts to do this job properly

He's tarnishing our name to all and sundry

Is this the solution?

What if he had died?

It's alright if we lost money

But what about honor and respect?

I went to sever his head

But settled for his arm

Tell him

Ask him to stay quiet

Speak to our lawyer?

He's asked someone else to surrender tomorrow

It isn't safe for him to be here for a while

This problem will only magnify

I'll take him to Madurai

You handle everything here

- Where is the doctor? - He's inside

College looks so deserted!

That's right

Sir...hello?

Why is the campus deserted?

College is closed today

Why is it a holiday today?

It isn't a Govt holiday either

'We are closed for 10 days Study holidays before the exam'

Whose permission did they take? Won't they announce it?

Let it be Who are you?

We...

...will let you know

Study holidays it seems

'Closed for 10 days apparently'

'Okay, let's go'

'Why is her house locked?'

I am so confused

You think they have gone out?

Call Kumar

- Why...? - Call him

Ask him to call me as soon as they return

Oh! It's Kumar

Are they back?

Thanks, buddy

'I am at akka's place'

That's why I'm being very patient'

If you continue like a broken record...

'...don't know how I'll react if I see you'

'Fine, hang up I'll come and deal with it'

'You made me win with your loyal votes'

You stuck posters all over and created a hype

Yes, sister

I'll help you to the best of my ability

My brother Mari is here

'Inform him'

'- I'll get the news at once - Okay, 'ka'

- I should only hear people praise me - Sure, akka

I don't want my name tarnished

- I'll take care - You are responsible

Akka, finalize the mall in our area please

Mari, look into it Finalize it

I can't take care of it

Get someone else to do this alone

Why are you saying this?

That's how it is

You take leave I'll take care

- Okay 'ka - See you, bro

Okay

What is bothering you?

You said it is election time and to let go of the man who hit your son

I'm unable to show my face in my area

'They are deriding me to my face, for not taking my nephew's assailant to task'

You don't know

What should I do now?

Let me first finish off the thug who bashed him

Then I'll do whatever you say

I've just now become the mayor

If you create any problems now...

'...the higher officials will pull me up'

Just lie low and keep quiet

Hey! Nephew

'Hey! Open the door'

[indistinct conversation]

Tea, buddy

Why are you tense?

We can handle it

'I am fine with whatever bike you buy'

Getting a new bike, huh?

'Yes, uncle, my marriage got fixed'

'- I'm so happy for you - Bride's father spoke'

The bride's family is coming tomorrow

'- You must also come - Sure...for sure'

'- Don't forget, uncle - I'll definitely come'

Can't you lower your tone? Move aside

We are minding our business You're butting in

Will you clear out now?

Don't react, uncle

Bro, this is a different problem

- You carry on - Come, uncle

Why are you picking a quarrel?

It never rains but pours!

I've never been without talking to her for so long

Don't worry We'll deal with it

Whatever I do, she will be mad only for 1 day

Then she will come and patch it up

I am at my wit's end

Be patient Just for today

College reopens tomorrow

You can meet her and talk it over

Don't fret Stay cool

Here's the money

- See you, ma - 'Eat and go, dear'

I am already late I'll take care

Will you go on an empty stomach to write your exam, dear?

I'll ask uncle to drop you

Eat and go, dear

Uncle will drop you in college Just eat a little bit

Please eat, dear

Otherwise your mother will starve till you get back

Eat, I'll drop you

- I told you I'm coming - Eat fast

- She hasn't come - Let's wait and see

Who is he?

Her uncle

Why is he dropping her in college?

Do your exam well I'll pick you up

I'll get back on my own

I am anyway free I'll pick you up in the afternoon

Okay, uncle

'A house raised in Madurai, with the aid of jacks, presided by the mayor'

Wonder how this female won the election

Be alert, buddy

She might create trouble for you for beating up that boy

That was ages ago

Don't say that

She would have kept quiet due to the election

Forewarned is forearmed, right?

- Yes, Pandi? - Father suddenly fell unconscious at home

- What are you saying? - Don't know why

Doctor suspects a heart problem

He told us to go to Madurai

- Where are you now? - Just crossed Andipatti

Godspeed I'll inform akka

And make all the arrangements in the hospital

Akka, father fell down unconscious suddenly

What happened? He was fine

Is Pandi with him?

Nothing to worry

Pandi is with him, I'll go now Come with your husband

Father, how are you now?

I'm much better, dear

- What did the doctor say? - Block in his heart

He must be operated within a month

Nothing to worry though

Why do you want to wait?

Can't you agree for the operation?

No, my dear

Till Gayathri and Pandi get married I don't need any operation

Finish the surgery first and the rest will follow auspiciously

Don't confuse both issues

That won't work out

I want to witness this marriage

After that I'm not bothered whatever happens to me

Why are you saying this, pa?

You are okay, aren't you?

You don't know anything

My dear son-in-law, tomorrow is an auspicious day

Let them get engaged tomorrow

Let us perform the marriage immediately after New Moon

After that I will listen to whatever you say

Why are you hesitating now? This was already decided, right?

That's okay, but how is it possible to arrange everything in 1 day?

What is all the fuss about?

Let's call close family members and perform the engagement at home

I won't agree to any operation unless I witness this marriage

'It's up to you now'

Okay, we'll do as you wish

Let appa stay here

We'll take him home for the auspicious moment

'I will look after all the arrangements'

Okay, pa

Gayathri will be home anytime now

I have the key Let me leave now

- See you, dear - I'll take care

Go home safe, dear

Stop here

Where did you all disappear locking up the house?

How long do I wait outside?

I went to the hospital

Whaaat? Why, ma?

Come inside I'll explain

What happened, ma?

Grandpa has a block in his heart He fell down unconscious

Pandi uncle brought him here

What are you saying? How is grandpa now?

He's okay now, but the doctor said he needs to be operated within a month

So why don't you get him operated?

Only after he sees you married he'll agree to the surgery it seems

He is being very stubborn

He simply refused to be persuaded by any of us

You and my brother Pandi should get engaged tomorrow

He wants to see you married within a month

Why this rush to get me married?

We have to agree for grandpa's sake

I have an exam tomorrow, ma What did my father say?

Everybody has given the go ahead

Write your exam in the morning

This is only in the evening

Okay, come

'Yes, aunt, it was a sudden decision'

'Please inform your husband'

'You must be here early tomorrow'

Sure, I will Okay, see you

It was decided all of a sudden

That's why I could not call you in person

Okay, Kamala

Ma, I have to return this book to Priya

You are getting engaged tomorrow Why exert yourself?

It is her book She needs it for the exam

I'll tell her about the engagement too

Okay, come back soon

Okay, ma

How is father now?

Did he eat anything?

He is feeling better now

Has Gayathri gone to bed?

- She has gone to Priya's house - At this late hour?

She had Priya's book She needs it to study for her exam

She went to return it and invite her for the betrothal

Okay, I'm starving Get me something to eat

Let me serve you

What do I do?

She's torturing me

She knows very well I can't live without her

Still...she is being such a pain

Take a swig

Everything will be okay

This wretched drink is the cause of all my misery

And when in misery also this devil only eases the pain

What's wrong with you?

Show me your hand

Are you out of your mind?

I swore on her

'Hereafter I won't touch it!'

What have you done to yourself?

You could stay away for 10 days without meeting or talking to me?!

Not like that

I was so mad at you I don't know what I'm doing

I don't even understand what's happening around me

Suddenly my mother says I must get engaged to my uncle tomorrow

What do you mean?

Just take me away now

I'll come away with you

Otherwise I'll kill myself

I have no idea what to do

Will you go to college tomorrow?

Yes, I have an exam to write

Go home now We'll think of a plan

Don't worry I'll handle this

What do we do now?

Take him to a doctor and get his hand treated

Forget my hand

Just do as I say

I'll discuss with Murugan and Ramar

Let's attend to your hand first

Find out where Murugan is and go meet him

If anything needs to be bought, do so and come to the temple

Be on your toes

Talk to Kumar also

Ask him not to come but stay right there

Be diplomatic

If there is any problem in her house, ask him to call me

Kumar? I'm Muthu speaking

Park your vehicle to the side please, sir

I am leaving right away

All the best, friend

I am already stressed about it

We are here for you What can happen?

We can deal with it

Go to the office room and change into your wedding finery

You're making my senses reel today!

Tell me your names and stars

Hari, sun sign Gemini

Gayathri, Pisces

[reciting a mantra]

Wear the garlands

"This very moment, my dear our souls will unite here"

"This minute is enough for me Our love will shine eternally"

"You are my soul-link true my heart yearns anew"

"Isn't my world yours too?"

"Every nanosecond of our precious lifetime Shall I be the core of our love sublime?"

"Let us light our life with love You and I will be 'we' now"

"Let us ask for a boon from above for our love to blossom and grow"

Let's go straight to Murugan's house Then we can discuss what to do next

Priya

Where is Gayathri?

She didn't come to college today What happened?

What do you mean?

I was the one who dropped her this morning

- You wouldn't have seen her - She sits in front of me

She didn't write the exam

Sir, come here

Didn't I drop a girl this morning?

Tell her, she claims she didn't come at all

The girl you dropped was picked up by 2 boys

What do you mean?

Did Gayathri come to your house last night?

No, she didn't

Come in, sis-in-law

'Where is anna?'

Please take

How are you?

Pandi, Gayathri is missing

She didn't even write her exam

'The watchman says 2 boys picked her up'

Something is wrong

Wait, I'm on my way back

- What happened? - You attend to the guests

Where the heck are you?

Start immediately

Are you mad or what?

Yes! I am mad

Till I find the rascal and kill him I will act crazy!

- What happened? - Nothing

How can you say it's nothing?

- Nothing it seems - Cool down, come in

Gayathri didn't attend college

She didn't meet Priya last night Watchman says she went with 2 chaps

- And he says it's nothing - Let's go inside

Aiyo! What happened?

Get some water

Why are you worried? It will all be fine

If so, our child's happiness is important

I'll take care of it

Be calm, brother

If I hear you did anything rash I'll turn violent, be warned

Go inside all of you

Until I find Gayathri and bring her no one should step out

'Get up'

Ask that councillor from Ward 30 to meet me

Okay, akka

- Did my son eat? - No, madam

Why haven't you eaten as yet, my dear?

I am asking you

Why haven't you eaten?

Get out of the room I don't want to see you

Shouldn't treat your mother like this

Are you really my mother?

Only your bloody mayor's post and money matter to you

You care two hoots for me

Why this sudden show of concern now?

Don't say that

Do you think I'll spare the chap who hit you?

Mari...Mari?

From today forget about this

I'll tell my brother I'll deal with it

Okay?

Did you call me?

I want you to finish off the chap who hit my son tonight

This will do

I'll take care of him

Uncle, I'll come along

Take rest, nephew I can handle it on my own

He won't live to see the sun rise tomorrow

Put in a word to the inspector

I'll handle him You carry on

Get up

Watch your step

Now why do you have this 'doomsday' look?

I was thinking of my mother and uncle

He calls her 'mother' too

He has never called her 'akka'

My grandpa wanted me to marry my uncle

Such a long story just for a simple query?

Is everything in life a game to you?

My poor mother! Wonder what she's doing

Tomorrow when you tell her you are married, all will be well

Tomorrow isn't very auspicious

- Birthday for both of you - Exactly

That's why I said so

Just because we are born will it be auspicious?

Whatever

I'm feeling sleepy

Hey! Wait a minute

Did I get married so you could sleep here?

It's our wedding night Now clear out

Where will I sleep?

On the street

Okay, see you

We'll go to Ramar's house See you in the morning

Let's go

'Don't overdo it'

'Don't glare...go'

"In the pupil of my eyes I protect you Tailored in my tender heart true"

"Into your breath I'm here to breakthrough"

"Locked in my mind securely Thoughts of you killing me soulfully"

"I'll treasure and will it to you willingly"

"Any man I happen to see looks like a woman to me"

"Wherever I'll be I want you with me"

"In this birth you are mine solely soulfully"

"In my eyes blissfully-"

She's killing me!

"Thoughts of you flocked in my mind safely locked"

Tell me how!

Will you compile it and will it to me?

"You slid my mind easily into your lap effortlessly"

Hey! The chap who bashed my nephew has to be eliminated tonight itself

All of you bring your weapons and come over to Garuda bridge

What do you mean?

When?

Hello?

What do you mean?

Who asked him to go there now?

Gayathri, don't cry

[distressed sobs]

Look! There he is

Follow him

Hurry up Don't lose him

Drive faster

Don't let him escape

Nab him Don't let go

Quick!

Don't lose his trail

Fast...fast...faster

Enclose him

You go straight

Gayathri...?

Hey! Ga-

Aiyo...!

Why could you do this to us?

Amma...!

Hey! Why did you come here?

Why did you come back?

Stop

Let me go

How dare you walk in here after what you did!

I need to see my mother

You can't see her Get lost!

I need to see my mother

I won't allow you

You can't see her

Go away I won't allow you

I want to see my mother

Go away

'Don't stand here'

'Get lost'

Appa...!

Father

I never imagined all this would happen

Appa, ask them to let me see my mother

Father, can't you hear me? I am talking to you

Ask them to let me see her

Please tell them to allow me, pa

Who is your father?

She brought you up with such tender loving care

You uprooted our family's dignity

How can you call me 'father'?

Just let me look at amma Just once, appa, please

I will go and pay my last respects

Get out!

Don't even stand in front of our house

If you see her her soul won't rest in peace

Get out of my life

'Don't stand before me'

I don't want to see you

Get out of my life

"This very moment, my dear"

"Our souls will unite here"

"This minute is enough for me"

"Our love will shine eternally"

"Let us rest in peace together"

"Search for another world far better"

"If we are born again on earth"

"Let's be husband and wife in that birth"
