Trying to capture time and flowing waters in our fist is an illusion

They slip out of hands by the time we get that thought

Water makes our hands wet before leaving them.

Similarly time leaves a stamp of memories while it leaves.

My story is a journey reaching this shore over the tides of such memories.

No... the story of dad

While America which is seven seas away from here is dictating the world,

my dad used to dictate a few businesses there in a similarly

I too was doing the same till a few days back.

My friends, emotions and attachments... everything was business to me

I was brought up that way by my Dad

One day suddenly, he brought me from that shore to this one.

Then the real story started.

- Yeah Catherine. - Your dad suddenly collapsed in the meeting.

- Sir. - Sir... what happened?

And we had him moved to Langone Medical center in down town.

Well, I am in the middle of something. Buzz me if it gets worse. Okay?

I did not ask what happened to him after that.

I had no time to spend with him too back then.

Good morning Mr. Gopi Krishna.

So, how are you doing? We had gone through your reports.

And you have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, M7 type

I am not going to tell you that it is not curable.

I can empathize with your situation

But all I can tell you is you got to be strong

I am dying.

Is there no any chance of saving myself?

The fear of dying is killing me more than the death itself.

All the money, name and status I earned all these days are a waste.

There are other things needed this moment for me to live.

What are those?

Why have you stopped there? Come, I will play some good music for you.

Hey! Who is that? What are you doing there?

Gopi...

- Shall we play? - Come to the river. I'd be there.

Power of attorney, CEO Mr. Neil.

What is this dad?

Alright thank you guys, thank you so much.

What is this?

Because I am going on a holiday.

Please do, but why is all of this required?

Because someone should take care of it.

- Am I not here for that? - Yeah of course.

But I want to assign a bigger task to you.

What would be a bigger task than this?

You got to join me in this holiday.

- Dad, come on! - Come on.

Dad, how are you going to decide when am I got to go on a vacation?

But as of now, you are coming with me. That is final

And Karthik, I have a small doubt.

You talk about business and have studied so much at prestigious universities.

But how did you forget the basic primary rule of the business?

I mean, according to me an ideal business man

believes there are no free lunches in the world.

- Trust me. - Yeah, so?

Any service you take, you have to pay for it.

- Isn't it? - Yes.

Now case in point...

For giving birth, bringing you up and making you this.

and for doing so much service, what do I get?

Sounds very selfish, but...

What I have decided is

I expect 30 days from your life in return for all that I have done for you

Give me 30 days and that is enough.

You like or not, come with me in this journey and do as I say.

I will be happy. Deal?

Cheers! Give me a five.

Cheers man!

Why did he change so suddenly?

Come on pray son.

Come on take the blessings

What are you looking at respected priest?

Are you thinking how did he suddenly become so devotional?

I don't know whether this is devotion or not

But don't you know how devotional Gauthami was and her fondness for God?

Her soul would definitely be somewhere around here. I am sure.

I could not express my love to her as long as she was alive, priest sir.

I have a small faith that her soul would rest in peace seeing me in this temple.

See you priest sir

Come..

See you sir.

Go.

My life has become useless.

I have a grown up son but he is good for nothing.

I sweep the dirt outside but what do I do with the dirt in my home?

- Are you... - What is it?

Doesn't anyone like my house to be clean? Why are you blocking me?

If you stand this way at the crossroads,

someone would at least garland you thinking you are a statue. Go away.

- I mean, I am... - Oh I see!

Gopi!

Have you come for Ganesh Chaturdhi fund?

Look sir, my life doesn't seem to be running unless this entire village donates someting.

Don't you have any shame to ask me for donation?

Get going! No one here has throw away money and time.

Look how well they dressed up for asking donations!

Your business is lucrative!

Someone would donate something when you roam around all the houses.

Don't just stand like a statue you idiot! See and learn.

Damn! What is this? I don't understand what is he upto.

Let him get back to the hotel. I will decide it.

I felt this journey was tough. I thought of intimating him and leaving.

I waited for long, he did not come.

His phone was not reachable.

So I came back from there not having patience to wait further.

But, brought his bag in a hurry.

Are you attempting a suicide by the river side?

What's the delay then? Do you need any help?

Hey, wait a minute.

Dont expect me to.

I was standing there lost in some thoughts and you just pushed me.

What are you thinking about? Don't tell me if that's personal

But shouldn't you share with someone if you want to lessen the pain?

What if there is no one to?

Impossible uncle. Think that all people are dear to us.

- How can we think so? - We have to.

Consider me your friend. Tell me what your troubles are?

Your would feel lighter at heart. Tell me without delaying it anymore.

I have a son dear

- Oh no - He...

By chance, has he snatched all your property and pushed you out?

Will you let me talk?

Ok...

No. Actually, you promise me to listen to me till I complete.

Thats difficult, but I will try.

I did not bring my son up like a father. I brought him up as a business man.

The poor fellow grew up calculating everything in profit and loss

Affections, relations and bonding have lost their place in our house.

That was the mistake I committed.

I thought he should be like me,

but I never thought there should be someone for him after me.

What he needs now is not the world I introduced all these years

But the family I had abandoned thirty years ago.

I don't understand how to bring him close to my family now. That's it.

It's a complicated issue.

It can be solved.

Come along. I will tell you.

Wait for me dear. I am coming.

- Excuse me. - Yeah.

Is there any good restaurant nearby?

You don't have such facilities here son.

- My cards don't work here. - I do not know all that

They don't take cards here bro. This is a village

- Oh. - Aren't you hungry brother?

- No.

Come along bro, we shall have a meal at my home.

- That's okay. - Why do you hesitate when you are hungry?

- Are you sure? - Please come bro.

- Let's do it some other day. - Please come brother.

- Why do you take the trouble? - That's okay.

- Please let me leave. - You must come bro.

Please get rid of the shoes brother.

Mom, serve food for both of us

Don't you know to inform me before inviting someone for lunch?

- Come and sit son. - Sit beside me bro.

Keep the bag aside.

I will serve whatever is at home. Please don't hesitate to eat.

What are you studying?

At the London school of Economics...

A school?

Even my son stopped at school in his eighth standard.

Are you working somewhere or just wandering around like this fellow?

Actually we own a group of companies and...

What?

How could this village lady understand English? Eat son.

Oh no, what's that? Mix it well.

Look at my son, he just gulps it down.

I'll get that.

Where is the tissue?

What is this?

Where did you get this?

It was in the bag of my dad

What is your dad's name?

Gopi Krishna

Gopi...

Gopi Krishna!

Oh no. Are you Gopi Krishna's son?

Yes.

Gopi!

Her face glew up at once in happiness once I took dad's name.

She started sharing all her childhood memories one by one with me.

I, who don't have any friends

felt surprised seeing dad coming so far in search of his childhood friend.

There must be some reason behind dad's visit as he doesn't do anything without a reason.

I should urgently search and find dad and get to know the reason.

Wow, isn't it just lovely?

Yeah! Are you up for some chocolate?

No thanks.

Is it diabetes?

Then?

Oh, I got it!

Missing your son.

He will be back uncle,

he will get to know what life is and will be back by himself.

What?

He is my only son, I'm away suddenly.

I too am an only daughter. Wouldn't my mom and dad would be missing me too?

Calm down dear, do not worry like that

Your worry would be gone only if you make a call and talk to them.

- Is it so easy? - Yeah.

Then, why are you so worried?

We fell so, but nothing is in our hands uncle. We cannot change anything.

Hence learn to enjoy this moment without having any second thoughts.

Hey! Shall we party?

What say you?

Cheers!

You're a genius uncle!

You brought me here but I don't know where my son is dear.

I don't know what he is thinking about me as I left him.

Poor fellow, no idea where he is and what he is doing.

Let us see.

I'm going on talking and...

Oh... she is asleep.

No signal here too. How do I contact him?

Excuse me, can I make a call?

Have you not seen the board? It's prepaid. Pay me a hundred bucks and call.

It's an urgent call you see.

Then pay me a 150 bucks and do it.

Sir, I and my dad came from the US and missed each other.

He is not to be seen, and there is no signal on my phone nor there is cash in the ATMs.

I don't know where he is.

You can keep my watch or phone with you and be paid later...

- I do not need these watches and phones. - I will pay and

Pay money and then do it.

I will pay you whatever you want later.

Please let me make a call.

Go.

Go.

Thanks.

But there is no phone inside?

- Do you have it? - Yes

Take it out.

Do you have a signal?

No.

Get inside.

Did it come? Yes, it came

Then talk.

Did you talk?

No, I couldn't get through.

Oh, try again.

No problem

Can I borrow your phone once?

Yeah sure.

One minute.

Hello madam.

Hello Ramya, it is me Anjali

Where are you?

Somewhere, but when is the college reopening?

In a week.

Ok, I will be back. Manage something if my family members call you. Okay?

Ok

- Thanks. - It's ok.

I felt like my road ended there.

I did not know where to go

I started following that girl without my knowledge

Hey, stop.

Cool.

Are you following me?

No. I am going to the neighboring village.

Is it! Go ahead then.

You said you were going! So go...

How do I tell her?

Actually...

That's called following.

What is the matter?

You just saw my position earlier. My cards aren't working too.

Actually, I and my dad came from the US.

US?

I left him as I couldn't understand him.

But I do not understand where to go and what to do now at all.

I came to know his value once he isn't with me.

Who is your dad?

Gopi Krishna, a big business man in the US.

Gopi Krishna?

Gopi Krishna...

Wait, just a second let me just show you his picture

Oh, so you are his son?

So have you met him?

If you do not mind, could you take me to that place?

Let's go. Come.

Poor old man,

I thought of accompanying him for sometime as he was tensed so that he would rejoice.

But he keeps talking about you always.

So I was being bored and left him.

This is the place where I left him.

With a passion to fulfill my dreams, I had been keen on winning in my career.

But for the first time, I realized the fact that I have lost in my life.

Having chased my dreams all these days, I'm now starting in search of memories.

I should take Karthik along with me in this journey somehow.

I have to take him to the place where I started losing.

It is only then that he would start winning in life.

With a fear of becoming incompetent, I had been running all my life

My selfishness to see you in my place has made you like this.

Not that you would get out of my reach,

many chances of showing you the value of life slipped out from my hands.

Not everyone gets a chance to look back in life.

I got it.

So, I started this journey to correct all my past mistakes making them lessons to you.

I did marry you but I never expressed my love as long as you were alive Gauthami.

But I should somehow express my love to you and I will.

Don't you know how devotional Gauthami was and her fondness for God?

Her soul would definitely be somewhere around here.

Hundreds of smiles wish me every morning.

But no smile can touch my heart.

Except your smile in the childhood when you saw me.

I feel only that smile will console me in my present situation.

I am coming Lakshmi.

Hey Khaleel Pasha,

all the property I earned today and this GK group is because of you.

All of this is because of the help you did back then.

But I never even thought of you till this second.

I committed a very big mistake my friend.

Would you forgive me?

Khaleel Pasha!

Do you know how long am I waiting from?

To hell with this idiot.

How are you doing Gopi?

He started

What are you looking at? Fix a peg.

Hey not for me, pour for him. I quit.

I don't want it man.

You drink Gopi. I quit dude.

Hey, I promised on his wife and quit drinking.

You have it dude

Hey, I will pour Soda and you enjoy.

Okay, have it now.

I will have just one peg. Cheers.

The story started now.

No idea who that Gopi is and why this fellow drinks.

No one understands his ways.

Oh no, he is boozing too much today.

He is done wih three pegs.

It starts now...

Do you remember me after so many days dude?

You remember my wife and kids now?

My life was ruined for your mistake in the childhood.

My dream of IPS and software career are gone,

All my foreign trips are gone and I am suffering in this remotre place.

My whole life is ruined.

Oh no!

Hey Narsing, tell that fellow.

What does he know sir?

- Do you know idiot? - Curse my fate.

- You come here man. - I do not know anything sir.

Hey, come here you!

Why did this Gopi come into my life in childhood and ruin my life

and has come now again?

He asks how am I, my wife, and kids doing.

Does he need to know? Ask him.

Don't worry. I will spend the money that I have.

but you should return that after you meet your dad.

I don't know whether it's the magic in her words...

...or as it is the first time I met such a girl in life

I started enjoying her company keeping aside my tension about dad

A new journey started.

Let us see what's going to happen.

What happened?

An accident sir.

- An accident? - Accident!

Oh damn!

Hey, why do you keep watching when a human is down injured?

Hello...

Looks like he lost a lot of blood.

- Get him up. - Slowly.

No need to worry. He is fine.

I was so tensed about a starnger for the first time in my life.

Looks like someone is coming.

- Grandpa - Tell me son.

We are new to this place. Is there a hotel here to stay for the night?

There is no such facility in this village son.

You can stay at my home tonight if you are okay with it.

- Oh no, not your house. - No problem, you can stay in my house.

Okay?

- That's okay completely. - No.

Come on, let's go to my house.

- He is requesting us so much. - Come dear.

- Come dear. - Okay.

Hey! Careful!

Mahalakshmi...

Let them sit inside. I will be back in sometime.

I forgot to ask...

I'm here because my dad brought me here, something happened later...

...then I'm roaming around looking for him.

But why are you here?

I am suspending you from the college for 15 days.

Thank you.

- And from the hostel as well. - Thank you very much

Send that girl out urgently

Anjali go!

What happened?

I did not like this college

But why?

I don't like these teachers, lectures, exams and everything here.

Does that mean you break the glass?

I'm feeling bad that I can't strangle the person responsible.

Hey, you stop now. Don't instigate her further.

What do you intend to do now?

Fly...

Can you elaborate!

Where there is no education, restrictions or technology...

...I want to enjoy my life amidst nature where there is just beauty and hapiness.

Road trip.

Here, keep it

- What do we inform at your house? - That's upto you!

I am happily roaming around enjoying the nature since then.

I'm bored of things like Face book and WhatsApp

- We've lost the originality in human life. - Wait a second.

Wait.

Follow me.

Where are you crawling in?

Let go of me sir!

- Take the sack first. - Leave me madam.

Don't hit me, leave me madam

Let go!

What did you rob from them?

a bundle of 100 rupees cash.

Yes, those.

Take them sir.

What did you rob from her?

The plate.

The plate.

You rascal.

Please come sir. What did you lose?

All this gold belongs to me bro!

Oh no.

Careful sir.

That ring is mine too!

How dare you wear it on your finger as if it's your own!

One minute.

Don't you have a lot of gold with you?

Could you leave this small ring to me?

You say that's small?

Take that out.

- Hey! Careful man! - Can you remove it for me?

I know your shop you idiot.

That was great sir.

After working hard day and night, jumping over the walls and robbing houses

and getting bitten by street dogs, when got these risking my life...

Why did you give away simply?

You became a hero hitting on my hard work sir. How can you develop sir?

You are strong enough. Can't you make a living out of hard work?

Go!

- Everyone tries to lecture me. - One blow...

- Hey hero. - Why are you back man?

Wearing pricey branded clothes isn't everything.

There aren't even 5 bucks in your wallet.

- Oh no, my purse! - What are they?

What do I do with these cards?

- Keep it for yourself. It's waste. - When did you get that man!

- See you grandpa. - See you grandpa.

- Farewell son. - Okay son.

Here is the cycle you mortgaged last night.

I got my gold back because of your relatives,

That saved my face in the village.

So, I am giving your cycle back. See you.

I will not forget your help. Thank you.

Have they mortgaged their bicycle for feeding a stranger like me?

Yes baby, I did quit boozing. This is not for me.

Then whom is this for?

This is for Gopi.

Stop there.

Hey!

Is Ashok at home?

Hey Ashok.

Ashok!

Coming.

- Are you in or not? - Coming dude

Come out fast dude.

How are you dude?

I am fine, how are you?

I am fine by the grace of God.

Ashok, did Gopi send you any money through post?

No information from the day he left.

What's with him man?

I requested my dad and gave him money.

What did he do?

He doesn't return my money and doesn't even write a letter to you!

I'm telling you dude...

I may forget my dad but I won't forget Gopi.

What do you intend to do then?

I will chop him into pieces when I get him. He ruined my life.

My dad will catch me if I go home

I don't understand how I'm going to get back my money.

Get up.

Get up!

You meet me after so long dude?

Are you fine?

All is well.

I came here to apologise for the mistake I committed.

No dude, I am happy you came.

Saira.

Meet my elder brother.

He came home after 30 years.

Go and make some egg curry and bring down the pickle pot from the attic.

- As you say dear. - Make it fast baby.

Sit dude

I'm his brother. I'm Khaleel Pasha...

I'm the SI here.

You aged man!

That's because I don't color my hair like you.

Cheers

What are you doing man?

You said sorry. I am very happy bro.

Excuse me, is this the house of Mr. Khaleel Pasha?

Yes it is, but he has gone to the station.

Oh, has his friend by the name Gopi Krishna come here to meet him?

He visited yesterday and left.

Oh! Has he left?

- Who are you? - I am his son

What to do?

Ok, shall we leave then?

See you madam.

What is your name?

You need my name?

- Turn around. - Why?

Come on turn man!

Okay.

Don't turn around till I tell you. We see how lucky you are. Okay?

Hey, look here.

Better luck next time.

Hey mister, what's it?

What happened?

When I am listening to Ilayaraja tunes and enjoying Manirathnam's locations...

Are you enjoying like Ravi Krishna from the movie 7/G?

I sat beside as you are a known girl and a friend? Why do you make a mess about it?

- Everyone is looking at us. - A friend?

Who? Am I your friend? Tell my name.

Why are you silent?

Hello, what is this? What are you doing?

I've been watching, you think there is none to ask?

I have been watching it all.

Hey Satish! Suresh! Everyone come here.

You first get up man. Hey driver, stop the vehicle first.

What are you looking at? Get up first.

- Come on get down. - Don't push me.

Go, better luck next time.

Irritable girl, what does she think about herself? She acts as if I'm a stranger.

Even in so much anger, the memories of my journey with her have been haunting me.

Though I had been sleeping the whole night, a question was awake in me

Would she meet again?

Sorry dude!

Hey, I never said sorry to anybody till now.

You hit a jackpot!

Hey, do you give a damn about the feelings of others?

Oh! So you've got feelings! What feelings?

Tell me.

Why are you so angry?

You should get it when a beautiful girl is making fun of you.

Hello, no girlfriends?

Hey.

That is the matter.

"This is a strange story"

"Where does it start and where it ends?"

"What are these destinations?"

What dude? Looks like you are still angry?

Internet center.

- Excuse me. - Yes.

- Can I have a system please? - Take the first system.

Oh, thank you.

Hey Neil, whats up man? What's happening?

Thank God, at least you came in line after so long.

It is difficult to handle such a great responsibility.

I expected GK sir to guide me. But he is not available even on phone.

I'm unable to understand what would be the result of any particular decision.

What?

Already our company's share value is dropping rapidly in the stock market.

Investors are scared of our company's name.

He was so tensed for a small problem.

He could have fixed it himself.

Ok, let me catch dad first and then solve it myself.

Oh.

Where is she? Earlier..

"So many clouds in a rain drop"

"So many tunes in a bamboo"

"So many clouds in a rain drop"

"So many tunes in a bamboo"

"I walked thousands times in the rain"

"Why did my heart get wet today?

"Who disappeared giving me this song?"

"So many clouds in a rain drop"

"So many distances in a step"

"So many clouds in a rain drop"

"So many distances in a step"

"I walked thousands times in the rain"

Why is this sorrow now?

"I never sang like today"

"What are the singing times?"

"I requested my heart"

"you've made me forget so many things, why don't you make me forget this moment too?"

"I sent a word to the lightning"

"I never sang like today"

"Who disappeared giving me this song?"

- How far are you going sir? - We are going to the city

Will you drop me till city too please?

Let the vehicle start first and then I will.

- Okay get in. - Yeah okay.

Thanks boss.

Thanks boss!

Oh God!

- Dad. - Yes.

How are you now?

Dad.

Why didn't you tell me about this all these days dad?

What would you have done if I told you?

Come on dad.

We'll go back.

We will get the best doctors there. We will do anything.

I want you back dad.

I got to be right here son. There are many memories I left here

There are mistakes I have to correct, I have responsibilities and duties.

So much to do in so little time Karthik.

Dad.

Dad, somehow for the first time I feel it would have been good if mom was there

How come you suddenly remember mom today?

What is the matter?

Nothing. You sleep now. It's time to sleep.

- Are you hiding something? - You sleep now.

You can tell the name of that girl tomorrow.

I'm sleeping. Goodnight.

We all run behind dreams dad, but dreams run behind her.

How much ever I tell about that girl is less dad.

I miss her dad. Really, I miss her.

You didn't reveal her name yet.

She left without telling her name dad.

It's like that with some people.

They enter our thoughts opening the doors of our heart without any intimation.

We should take them into us like breath when they arrive

Else, they'll vanish and poke us here. Right here.

We cannot bear that pain.

Yes

That's why I'm asking you the get that girl.

No dad, I will not go anywhere leaving you in this condition.

After I pass away?

Dad

I mean, after I leave?

Go.

Hey! Go son

- Dad. - Yeah.

"I returned back like a ball thrown"

"I searched for you like a flying bird"

"I am turning the globe into a magnifying glass"

"I am searching your address everywhere"

"I'm coming for her like a kid for a doll"

"I am searching like the eye lid for her dream"

"I am coming as autumn for her painting"

'I'm searching for her yesterday like today."

"All the colors on the way wished me"

"They said they know the field you are in"

"Which star on your house..."

"...is chatting with you?"

"The details are unknown."

"Like the sleepless night,"

"I am searching like the light"

"I'm coming like the Sun for her morning"

"I'm searching like the moon for her lotus"

"I am coming like the Sky for her cloud"

"I am coming running for her shore like a tide"

- Hey! - Yeah.

- Roll them well man. - Okay.

How many times do I tell you to roll them carefully.

Is it done? Ok, go inside.

Hey Veeru!

Who are you sir? I never saw you here.

Actually...

Oh did you come to attend madam's wedding? You must be her friend.

Go inside sir, all friends are inside.

Her wedding?

Hey, make it fast...

Congrats

Have you come to say that?

No... I came for you.

After so long?

I do not know your name and no idea where to find you

It got late by the time I could search and come down.

What do you intend to do now?

I wish to marry now

That is not so easy.

Family members should agree to that.

What's there in that? Introduce me and I will make them agree.

My sister's marriage is in this week.

I'll take you home. Let's see if you can convince them.

Jaya! Pick a match for this saree too.

- Come in! - Hey.

This is our Brindavanam. How is it?

Huh, actually you know, sort of...

Hey, stop overacting and tell me it is good.

Ok, good huh...

You and your sarcasm.

- that's my mom. - Ok.

Mom!

- Hi. - Who is this boy?

Photographer.

- But we already finalized one! - He will not come.

Actually when the guy was troubling saying he was busy,

I put aside all my works, booked a flight and came down.

But there is no airport in my village!

I mean, I got down flight in Rajahmundry and came here by a cab.

Where will you stay then?

Some hotel...

Upstairs...

- Where upstairs? - Store room.

The store room?

It is enough if we give him a cot, blanket and a pillow

Even the payment is very less.

- Hubby - Yes, coming.

What? Come on hubby

She messed up something.

He doesn't look to be bad.

I did not talk about the boy but about your daughter

Daddy!

- I am unable to bear this TV serial love. - Your mom is jealous dear.

I feel I've seen this boy somewhere. No idea where.

- Hello. - Hello sir, nice to meet you

Karthik, my daddy... my best friend

- Show his room dear. - Yeah.

- Carry on. - Sure sir

Come on.

- Aunty! - What dear?

Photographer.

- Photographer? Come soon dear. - What happened?

The photographer is here.

Come on, you wait... Not now... in the marriage.

- Oh! - Is it for the marriage?

Aunty... Karthik! Karthik... Aunty

- Hi. - Hi.

Come on.

I too wish to meet you, but it does not look good if it opens up at home

A bit difficult, but...

Sis!

Wait. I have to call you back.

Hey devil, give it here.

Ok... Hello.

Bye

Ok, call you later...

- Where to? - Come sis. Move on.

Close your eyes. Do not be tensed, come with me.

Where are you taking me?

- Tell me - I will kill if you open eyes before I tell.

- Sister, do not open your eyes till I say. - Okay.

Yes, open the eyes now

Hi dad, how are you?

I am fine son.

I'm sure you are doing good too.

Because, you reached the place where you should be.

Yes dad.

Dad, I am not feeling this place, these people,

and their talk to be new.

I feel like it is so familiar

That is called a relationship.

I know that you would definitely succeed in the work you went for.

Just one thing Karthik, do not waste much time

We do not have so much of time

Ok, all the best. Take care.

- Secretary - Sir

Why is the sky so red, like dabbed in raw alcohol.

Isn't the sun looking like a mutton Kebab?

A human should have a bit of artistic taste.

What's the difference between an animal and a human if we eat and sleep all the time?

- Fix me a peg. - As you say sir.

- Why is the drink so strong? - No sir, I mixed it as usual.

Do you feel I can't make it out?

I would kick you and put you to rest.

Let's go to the marriage.

Why are you so late brother?

Don't be tensed.

Even if I enter a bit late, the entertainment would be unmatchable.

- When did you come uncle? - Just now.

Your marriage is a super success as I came.

I got fed up eating oranges everyday.

Here is a juicy fruit. I will enjoy this now.

She would gulp you up in turn.

Why do you need the details man?

- Listen baby. - What is it?

Hot coffee please.

You don't have a comic sense at all.

Looks like the butterflies came in wrapped in sarees.

Everyone is enjoying a lot.

Everybody settled down with their wives.

It would have been great even if I had a wife.

I should immediately take a selfie and upload it on Face book. Fans are waiting.

- Ask someone if there is a wifi here? - Ok sir.

Wifi cannot be seen, you should ask somebody

Who is this fellow? Looks like a cut and pickled vegetable.

- Hey veggie, come here. - Are you calling me sir?

Yes you.

Yes sir.

- Is Wifi available? - Yes sir

What is the username?

Is it required sir?

Why do you ask is it required when I asked for wifi, idiot?

Is it required sir?

How dare you repeat?

- Hello, user name itself is “Is it required” - Oh!

Look dear, I hit you with love. Don't misunderstand.

What is the password?

- I will not tell that. - Damn you.

- Why don't you tell me the password man? - I will not tell that.

Why won't you tell that idiot?

- Password itself is 'I will not tell that'. - Oh!

Do not feel bad.

I will call you when required. You go now.

- Is it to hit me sir? - No, to kiss you man. Get lost!

- You connect ithat. - Ok sir.

It's a four!

Why do you need the ball instead of Umpiring sir?

Oh! Behave like a servant that you are and bring the ball.

Give it. Alright!

- Hit it! - Hey! Four again!

Aunty, grandma is coming.

- Grandma is coming uncle. - Slowly children.

Sister.

Mom...

Mom.

Do check out the ones beside you at times.

All this happiness is because of you dear.

I am tell you now.

We will get married even if my family members reject you.

No.

I will marry you after convincing them.

We should earn a place in such a good family,

but not let it go.

I like you dear

Dad.

Why don't we have such a family?

I could share everything with him, but somehow I could never share just this one thing.

That I too have a family

I can not send him into a family I wantedly came away from, but...

...it is enough if this family accepts him.

I will die in the happiness that his future would be good.

Sir.

Stop there girl.

Is your dad fine?

Whose dad?

Your dad

It's 10 years since he died.

Is it 10 years since your dad died? Oh no!

Hey! What are you doing man?

What is this? I think she doesn't like to be consoled.

Why are all the stars disappointing us like this?

Where is he?

It is difficult that we can handle them without a drink. Go and mix a peg now.

Sir, someone might get to know.

Even the lid won't know it. You go ahead.

Madam, have some coffee.

You cannot have it once you go to your in-laws' house.

No thanks

Brother looks to be a good photographer, why not take a selfie?

Selfies are not be taken, you got to do it yourself.

So we got to take it ourselves.

Where are you leaving now?

I should prepare the curry, move aside.

How can you cook it there when the fire is here? Come back soon.

The babe is awesome even with anger.

Not babe, but a lady sir.

Aren't you are an energetic man sir? So I said that.

You make sense.

else I would have kicked you out.

Move.

- Where did you see? - Right here.

There is nothing here!

Let me see it.

Did you find them?

Nothing is here. I did see.

Yeah. Here... look at them.

So many letters?

Are these the ones?

Yeah it's them.

Dear brother

How are you?

Who is this brother?

So many letters not posted?

God damn!

Coffee.

"Are you the Lord Rama who turned a stone into a woman?"

"Are you Lord Siva who carries Ganga over his head?"

"Are you the Lord Rama who turned a stone into a woman?"

"Are you Lord Siva who carries Ganga over his head?"

"What do I think you are?"

"What do I think you are?"

"You are neither a stone nor Ganga"

"I am not any Shiva or Rama"

"You are neither a stone nor Ganga"

"I am not any Shiva or Rama"

"Think of me as your own person being a support"

Sir!

Coffee is getting cold sir.

Dirty fellow, won't you let me be even in dreams?

Catch this.

Hi.

Are you clicking a pic?

- Whom are you clicking? - Yeah.. some random pics.

Am I caught?

Hi

Busy?

- Anju. - Yeah.

You gave something here in the night.

How far is this place from there?

Why not give here?

Go.

Please Anju!

Go now!

I couldn't sleep the entire night.

Anju, please.

Someone might see us.

There is none here, please Anju.

Just one kiss please!

Okay.

You get in.

You get inside!

What's this dirty attitute?

There are kids and elders around. Do you have any fear?

What are you thinking about yourself?

Anjali, you go inside

Mom she was...

You stop.

Deepu, ask that boy to stop.

Ok grandma.

- Hey girl. - What?

Are you married?

Why do you look at me idiot? Ask for some fries!

- Get the fries! - Serve some fries here.

Sir, shall I serve sambar?

- Don't you have curries? - It's the curries that are served already.

I can just see he gravy, don't you have any pieces?

They are pieces, have a look.

We shall engage the same cooks for my wedding too.

Okay sir.

They've cooked the meat as soft as drumsticks.

They are drumsticks actually. Let your eyes see what's served first.

- Con't you warn me? - Didn't find the time.

Eat them too.

Okay.

Shall I serve sambar?

- Pour it on his head and finish it off. - Oh god!

Grandma spoke to mom and aunt.

They have agreed.

She said she would talk to father and others once after sister's wedding.

Have you come to say thanks?

It's similar. But...

But?

Grandma

Your thoughts are so great.

You are showing a lot of love on a stranger like me.

Then why did you stay away for so many years?

Sorry grandma. I think I hurt you.

Every woman's life is linked with three men.

Her father, husband and son.

My dad fulfilled his responsibility and left.

And my husband Mr. Parameswara Rao.

He is not just a god for this house but for this entire village.

As per the changing times

when people from village were migrating to city for jobs

industrialization ruining the green fields for establishing companies on another side.

His passion was to save our village and culture from both of them.

What you say is right too.

Our festivals and happiness are all linked with this land.

They say they would lay foundation for the factory at the place of Lord Rama's wedding.

How can we agree for that?

How can we sir?

All the educated kids from our villager are migrating one by one already.

- See Venkaiah. - Tell me sir.

When the land below our feet itself is not ours,

Isn't it our greed to wish our kids to be with us?

Look, our village should be prosperous.

And when we think of our kids to be good and be with us

we shall do something instead of thinking that the guy coming in would do something

Not us, but you should do it.

Yes, only you have that state and wealth.

Your son too is there to take your decision forward efficiently.

It is goodness to think that I should be good and everyone around should be happy.

His philosophy was that everyone should be good and that he should be there for all.

Such a great man had a small weakness.

His son.

He becomes a kid when it comes to his son.

- Hey, calm down. - Mom look what sister did.

What's the haste dear?

Will he just stop at the gate?

You heard him. But see what he does himself.

Check him.

Mom, look there.

Oh!

He did not make his son the heir for his property like all fathers.

He felt he would take his principles forward.

But

Kamakshi!

Parameswaraiah's son who learnt that motherland is sacred than the heaven in childhood

is wishing to leave this mother like land and mother too in search of opportunities.

How did you bear such a great pain silently for so long grandma?

What are you looking at?

I felt I don't need anyone all these days.

But I don't understand why I wanted to say this to you today.

Because, I am your grandson from today.

"All the six seasons flourishing became the door decorations"

"Sun and moon oozing dreams are welcoming"

"The flowers spread astonishing fragrances"

"The honey sprinkled words made hearts happy"

"Worships of affections in the threshholds"

"Marriage is a festival"

"Wedding is a celebration"

"It is for all of us to meet..."

"...and for the celebration to take place"

"Responsibility in the form of the locket on forehead has put the wedding bindi."

"Carrying the girl in basket is your last weight."

"Tears have washed the feet of son in law."

"Eyes are filled with moonlight"

"Festival came with gods coming down"

"They shower the blessings in the form of sacred rice"

"Share your entire life with your love"

"With the event of Jeera and jaggery"

"Together for all reincarnations and all the history"

"We shall become wife and husband with love"

"Marriage is a festival"

"Wedding is a celebration"

"It is for all of us to meet..."

"...and for the celebration to take place"

"Marriage is a festival"

"Wedding is a celebration"

"It is for all of us to meet..."

"...and for the celebration to take place"

Aren't all the rituals done? Move fast, bad time is going to start

Hey, stop man.

What happened brother in law?

Will you just drive away giving some luggage and some gold once the girl is married?

- Come on ask him! - Will you drive away?

Will you drive her away madam?

Looks like they wouldn't

Do not be in such a hurry.

She is girl born here and grew up for 20 years in this house.

And she is the granddaughter of Mr. Parameswara Rao.

She is going to a new place, wouldn't she be tensed?

Shouldn't we send some known maid or servant along?

Aint it?

- I will take care of that. Come along. - Do that then.

What man? How did I knock it out?

Knocked out a lot sir.

Shouldn't you mention that as a knocked out old lady?

You go and be on that job and I will look into the works here.

Brother!

Dad!

You should wish each other when you come face to face

but why are they closing the doors and why are you leaving silently?

Why is grandma who convinced everyone till this level taking them all away like that?

What happened dad?

I am sorry son.

I am really sorry.

I never thought my sin would make you lose like this.

I had a dream to live like this.

I agree everyone has it.

But, I somehow wanted to make that dream true.

In that trial...

In that trial, my real life has completely gone away

My dad said like he has seen all my future.

Kamakshi!

Parameswaraiah's son who learnt that motherland is sacred than the heaven in childhood

is wishing to leave this mother like land and mother too in search of opportunities.

You are the only heir, both for this property and to his principles.

There is no freedom struggle happening now to be a heir to his principles, right mom?

This is similar too son.

His passion is to safeguard our lands, morals and culture.

His selfishness is to see his son leading in that matter.

I agree that he wished that I should.

But has he at least asked me once if I would?

I never expected you to become such a great person that I should ask

It is fine till the matter of safeguarding his lands mom.

But, why do you stop my growth for that mom?

Does growth mean lakhs or crores in your view?

A goal.

The goal to be in first amongst all in this world marching ahead

It is the aim to take up all chances coming in my reach, dad

Why do you need to leave the village for that?

Why do you talk bitterly that I am leaving the village dad?

People are leaving their nations to earn.

But in these times where the world itself is becoming a tiny village...

...it is wrong to stick to native places and develop dad.

Dear Mahalakshmi and Varalakshmi!

Your brother is going to win the world saying it is wrong to develop his native place.

Come and decorate the bindi of bravery to him.

Come on.

I don't understand why do you make such fuss about a small thing dad?

Why do you believe in joint family and living for the village in these days dad?

I am sorry, I don't think like that and I can't help it.

If I feel like seeing mom, I will make time, come and visit her.

If I feel like talking to my sisters, I will make free time and call them

If I reach a stage I wish for, I will help this village too. It is simple.

No son. Don't.

Neither this village needs your valuable earnings...

...nor this family needs your valuable time.

But in the way you go

if you feel something missing and feel like to look back...

...don't look at this house.

Because,

the dear ones you wish to see or the public who need your help will not be here by then.

Go!

Son!

Globalization is coming crossing the cities to gobble up the villages.

With a wish for that not to enter my village crossing the borders...

And that our green lands wet with Godavari waters

should not be vaporised in the greed of currency...

And that our traditions and values safeguarded from ages should not be ruined.

That is my passion.

But today, the rhyme “Johny Johny what papa” he studied

questioned the verse by Gurajada I learnt “Leave aside a bit of own profit and help others”

I thought higher education in the city would help to live better,

but could not expect that they would make him grow so big that he looks low at his own village

Between my principle that “I am with all”

and his thought of “Everyone comes only once I do well”

There is a huge gap that cannot be filled

I gave a word to the villagers without knowing that.

He left rejecting my word.

My word is my life.

My word is my life.

Once that word is broken...

Once that word is broken...

You did a great mistake dad.

But where will you escape now dad?

You need them more than me now dad.

But, a blood relation is not that which can be cut either by you or by them dad.

Let's go dad.

Come.

If not now, it will never happen again dad.

Come dad, let us go

You don't know son.

Come on dad, you come

Karthik...

Get up,

- They are... - Come.

Grandma,

you punished yourself for so many years for a mistake you have never committed.

Ok.

But why are you punishing me for a mistake which I did not commit?

You called me your grandson with so much love!

Now after knowing that I am his son, am I now your grandson anymore?

Mother in law!

You love your brother a lot and felt like sharing everything with him.

You used to write letters right?

Either you feel happy or sorrow, you used to write all matters of the house,

you did not get the address to post them, that's okay.

Now that person is in front of you, why not talk to him?

Aunty, you are always a small girl either then or now.

You just follow them blindly.

What would I ask you now?

Anju,

you taught me what life is.

I would not have come till here if you were not there.

I would not have known that I have such a big family

Why did you who taught me so much...

...haven't taught one thing called forgiveness to them Anjali?

You should have taught them.

What is it now? He rejected you.

He left you all. Ain't it?

But, when were you together?

To be together is not to be in a house mother in law

It is to live in the hearts of each other.

I am not saying you are in his heart.

And me, I do not even know that you exist

He brought me up like that.

Now I know that all of you exist.

I feel, I want all of you

But, you are kicking me out.

Living alone is not new to me.

I lived that way till now.

Look at him. He lived that way too.

But after knowing that you all exist, it's though.

It has to be.

Because, aren't differences more important to us than the relations grandma?

Not just making mistakes

but not forgiving the one who commits a mistake is a bigger mistake.

Aunty.

Dad has again become a member of that family

He lived all his last days happily with his people

Giving me a beautiful life far away from money, status and reputation,

he left remaining as a memory.

Thank you dad.

Your Karthink with love.

Hey!

Anjali Karthik!
