'Art is a nectar every human should savor' - M.R.Radha

"No place on earth can be as good as our own country"

'Is this a new dog?'

You haven't even removed its price tag?

That's the security tag from the airport

But I don't see any tags around your necks?

They promised us 4G connection I can't even get 1G!

- 'Started, huh?' - How backward is this place!

Stuck in a time warp, I swear!

Just 3 more days left Why don't you adjust a little bit?

Whatever!

Daddy, play some English song

Want English song? Here you go

"Why this murderous mutiny, dear? Why this killer instinct so severe?"

Oh! Shit

- Hello, son - Ramasami 'anna'

You scared the wits out of me

It's been years since you visited us

We are here now

I cleaned up this place spic and span when I knew you were coming, son

Thanks to this house you still remember us

How can I forget you?

Glad to hear that, son

Daddy, I'm hungry

Are you hungry, my dear?

You can't get your favorite food like pizzas and burgers here

You'll get only 'dosa' and a watery 'sambar'

Shall I go and get it for you?

- I'll buy 'dosa' - 1 minute

No need, son

Can't I buy you dinner?

I have money I'll go and buy it

Watch your step

'I am fine'

Scooby, go get the ball

Rahul, be careful

Yeah, dad

- Hi, da - 'Hey!'

'I told you to call me as soon as you reached'

Prem, we reached just now

'It is raining cats and dogs That's why I couldn't come'

- It's okay - 'Driver was there on time?'

- He came - 'No problem during the drive?'

No problem at all

When are you joining us?

Tell me that first

'Hello?'

'Hello?'

Hey Pooja! You've tanned so much

Why haven't you called us at all?

This place is so polluted

Also poor network connection

'Is your wife thrilled to bits?'

'Does she like the house?'

Kidding me?

She doesn't like India one bit

I'm planning to sell this house

'Are you serious?'

Let the buyer decorate it or demolish it, his wish!

Scooby?

Scooby?

'Shall I send some boy over to run errands for you?'

Why do I need anyone else? Ramasami 'anna' is here

He can use the money I pay him when we leave

- Yeah? - Hello?

- 'Can you hear me?' - Yeah, tell me

I forgot to tell you

'It has been 5 or 6 months since Ramasami 'anna' died'

Son, 'dosa'

Forget all that I'll see you soon, okay?

Hey Pooja! Who is that behind you?

DADDY!

Rahul

Shan

Pooja

Son, 'dosa'

Scooby!!

'Sangili Bungili Open The Door'

- Hello, Kumar? - 'Yes, sir'

No sight of the broker you referred, I say

'Sir, he will surely come'

You're a local agent here and you can't sell this

What will an out-of-towner do?

'Sir, you don't know about him'

'He's a sooooper agent'

'Somehow he will sell it for you'

You seem to have immense faith in him

Give me his address

I'll go and look him up once

'Don't go to all that trouble, sir'

'He's a good boy He'll land up for sure'

Yov! Be crystal clear

Super or Good?!

Trust me 'Super Good'!

"Super good deals dish out many a hit"

"He will reduce rates to the last bit"

"Wads of notes overflow Rupees that make you glow"

"He's a full time land broker He will favor you with fervor"

- Sir? - Hahn!

Nandakumar?

Yes

Vasu

Kumar praised you sky high

Here's your 10% advance

Thank you, sir

Let's take a look at the house

(loud sneeze)

Sir...?

Is there any other problem in this house?

Nothing of that sort, bro

The buyer took back his advance and fled before the house was registered

4 more followed suit hearing the rumors

Won't the villagers gossip?

True to 'Making hay while the sun shines'

...one man said the windows slam of their own accord

Another said a bulb lit up by itself

One man said he heard the laughter of girls

Someone else said he heard anklets tinkling

Each of them made up-

Why did you stop here?

Nothing, sir

This house is filled with bandicoots!

This is how an old house will be

(clears throat)

Aiyo!

Why are you tapping the door?

That's country timber

Country item, huh?

- Appearances are deceptive! - Sir, please don't

I'll take a snap

Sure, click

Don't take any snap, sir

Your items are all over the place

My grandfather brought all these from Burma

Pure teak

Will be smooth as satin!

'Don't you trust me?'

'Just touch and see You'll know I'm right'

Sir, shall I click a photo?

'Go ahead'

'How else can you tell your client about all the items here?'

Sir, if you keep shaking I am unable to focus

The door is not transparent!

Okay, sir

You can shut it now

You haven't seen the back portion as yet

Front is more than good enough for me, sir

Give me the key

After you sell this house you'll reach great heights, sir

You can leave now, sir

Come...come out I am waiting

"Come out, my fair lady petite"

"You boozed in the room, my parakeet"

What is in that hand?

Cutting

Fraud!

Don't go overboard on your act

After all you're just a broker

She is the house owner's daughter

Nandakumar's daughter

Is Nandakumar aware of this?

Won't Nandakumar know his own daughter!

I didn't mean that, sweety pie

Is he aware his daughter gulps down a quarter?!

- Let me go, sir - Shall I tell him?

Do you have his number?

- Why do you compete with him? - Can't find the damn #

Is drinking a crime?

What kind of question is that!

Pumping drinking water is not wrong, dear

Only drinking alcohol is wrong

That too, drinking it raw is unpardonable

Your father has earned such a good name in this town

If he knows what you are up to won't he be 'down in the dumps' Kumar?

You're laughing, huh?

- Please don't call my dad - Isn't this his number?

"Last night, oh wow!"

"I lost my sleep, wrapped in your love"

"Come, my sweet-"

A while ago you were on a high horse

After I called you are on your bended knees!

Loafer ladies!

Sir...sir?

We'll listen to whatever you say, sir

Why did you say that?

We will do anything you say, sir

Why is this 'Latha Pandi clone' so quiet?

- Say it loud and clear - Tell him

We will do anything you say, sir

Stuffed your mouth with cotton candy? Speak up

We will do anything you say, sir

Has 'Googleji' gone?

He is missing

Mani, give me the keys Lock the door

Why are you taking your own sweet time?

He vanished into thin air

When will Swamiji return?

It will take another 2000 years

Good lord!

We are blessed to have him visiting our small town

When his feet touched this place he sanctified it as a holy spot

Whom will you sell this sacred place to?

Should give it to some devotee

God knows who that lucky person is!

Mani, see if the vehicle is ready

All of you leave now

Sooranam, load that board into the van

How sad he vanished when we wanted his blessings so badly

Do you know what happened?

Wonder who will get Swamiji's 'ashram'?

-'Yes, sir, no, sir, 3 bags full, sir' - He looks so familiar

Is he Pushpa's husband!?

- Escape ji - Where did he go?

'I'll give this place sanctified by Googleji only to a true Tamilian'

Sait, please come

- Silence! - Tell me, Sait

- I'm an ardent devotee of Swamiji - So what?

Instead of giving it to someone else, you can sell this house to me

That won't work

No...no...no

- Tell him how Swamiji helped us - Silence! No...no

I owe everything to Googleji

Don't worry about the amount

Sky is my limit!

'Sky is your limit?!'

You can sell it to me

(lamb bleating!)

'Sait fell for the bait!'

Vasu, you sold the house just as you promised

- What? - Vasu...?

There isn't any Vasu here

Someone else has bought this house, leave now

'He didn't tell me-'

'He came to sell this house He got a good deal, he left'

In this short time, you built castles in the air, huh?

Let's go

'Living in a match box size house...'

...the hassle I go through daily I think I'll spend my whole life searching

Nothing will be in its place in this house

Vasu, what are you rummaging?

Ma, my key-

Which key?

My bike keys

We have to buy a bigger house and vacate this dump

Good idea to buy a house

Don't say 'us' as in just you and me

Say 'we should all go'

When did you become so selfish?

It isn't right You are really mean

By mistake I said our house is like a match box

Why make such a fus-

Why should you shift?

If you want, bring down that wall and extend this room for your use

You are the one who spoils him, 'anna'

Just because he said this don't demolish the house

This house belongs to them

Ma, why will I-

Parvathy, how can you be so formal and differentiate us?

This will always belong to my son-in-law to-be

See you, uncle

Come home for lunch

Fine, uncle

Dad, I'm off to college

Have a nice day

If I say 'bye', it means you should give me money for the auto

- Here - Why should you take an auto?

You have a lion cub of a groom He can drop you on the way

- Sit - Uncle!

I'm going the other way-

It isn't on the way for him

He won't mind dropping her

- Keep quiet - Why pester him?

Shall I go and drop her?

Catch you moving an inch!

You sit, dear Go, go fast

Don't keep talking

See you

Hold on to him real tight

Hey!

Whatever you may think, your daughter isn't half as bright as you

As long as you realize that, fine

Hey Bluff Missy! We left the house long ago

Take your hand off!

You look as innocent as hell and sly as a tortoise in its shell!

One day both of you will be caught red-handed

Get down

- Mani - Yes, bro?

I asked you to change the tube-light

- Electrician didn't turn up - What the hell!

- Where is Sooranam? - He has gone out

Where has he gone?

Gone to check out some land

Make a Xerox copy of these 2 documents

What are you up to, Sooranam?

Don't yell

He is such a traitor

Hurry up

Why are you loitering with this helmet?

Your brood will track me even if I'm in a helicopter

Bhai in the meat stall saw me with her yesterday

Flower vendor saw me when I went to pick her up

Then why the hell don't you tell her parents?

I will tell when the time is right

Come, Sandhya

Looks like she and I will have a baby sitting on your lap instead!

Let's see whose baby sits on whose lap!

You know me, right?

Blaze of fire, I am!

Hey! Sooranam

He doesn't even know if you are riding pillion with him

Trusting him you even fell in love with him!

David

Just what I had in mind

I like it very much

Let them quote their rate

We'll buy if we can afford it

- Let me check the neighborhood - Okay

Is it so? I'll call you later

Bro, where's the watchman of that house?

Which house?

The house with the yellow paint

That has been locked for many years

- Many years? - Of course

Why...?

You don't know the flashback?

What?

A few years ago, a family came from abroad and stayed here for a few days

They sent an old servant from that house...

...to buy 'idli' for them

Only after he left did they know...

...the old man had passed away many years ago!

If I think back on what happened after that...

...it sends a shiver down my spine

We shouldn't buy this place

- Why...? - Let's go

Get me 1 more glass of juice

With double ice and double sugar

Make it with American apple

Hello, my dear politician!

- How's life treating you? - Top of the world

I thought you would come with your family

You are here with just 1 baby

1-track mind indeed!

But don't do the job assigned to you

"Cash, dough, $, rupee, money"

Same client I told you earlier

Good omen

Wonderful!

Hello, room # 103

Come to the 1st floor

Okay

Was your phone on silent mode?

I've been calling to ask the room #

Bro, he's the client

You gave such a buildup for him?

If you had said 'Singapore party' I wouldn't have come

Leave it Let him go

What should a broker do?

Bring the buyer and seller, show the house

Sell and take his brokerage

Instead of that he'll buy the property

And that too how? Paying half the price!

How does it matter who buys it?

Once you've decided, sell the house

Not without a reason

I'm making this offer only after knowing all about that house!

'He knows, huh?'

Vasu, quote your offer

- Tell him I'll close the deal at 4 million - Then what?

3 years ago...

...you quoted 6 million

Now you've reduced it to 4 million

Come after 2 or 3 years

You can take it for free

Do you know the value of that place?

I know that place inside out, sir

You have no idea about the market value of that house

I asked you to get me a sound party

He is #1 fraud

Ask him to mind his tongue, see you

Vasu, please wait

Vasu, wait

Wait, I say

Just like my wife you get hyper at the drop of a hat

I came to buy the house Not sell my self-worth!

How can we clinch the deal if you're so sensitive?

Look at me

You're being funny

If I finish this deal for you...

...how will you thank me?

I'll give you a hefty compensation

- Come in, Vasu - Bro...bro?

Listen, I won't pay a single rupee more than 4 million

If you misquote me I'll bang your bald head

A wedding is a good omen

But they are getting married on the sly!

Brokerage makes him blabber!

Come, don't keep chatting over there

Checking the document

- Come on - Come soon

Signatories, come this side

Come over to this side

Get it...hold

The documents are flying all over the place

- Please turn off the fan - Switch it off, sir

'What's the matter?'

'How come the pen doesn't write on the document?'

'But it works fine here'

Vasu, somehow I don't have a good feeling about this deal

Keep quiet, mister

The pen has no ink

That's why you shouldn't come with kiddos!'

- Foolish to link pen and omen - Shall I come 20 years later?

Power cut, I swear This deal won't be sealed now

I believe the same thing happened when Ilaiyaraja started his 1st recording

And look what heights he reached

Then what about the other Raja?

- Don't be vulgar - You misunderstood me

- Shut up! - If I shut up how can I talk?

[voices overlapping]

What will you discover?

[voices overlapping]

So many repeated obstacles What was the tearing hurry?

You just turned a deaf ear to whatever I hinted

Why is that house so important to you?

Vasu, you must study well Make it big in life

And have plenty of people working under you

I should see it with a glow in my heart

- My eyes are stinging - Wait

- My eyes hurt - I'll wipe the lather, wait

Wait, dear I'll get water

- House owner...? - I informed the whole colony

After 8:00 a.m you won't get a drop of water

Your son will bathe at 8:30

Should I scrub his back? Fat hopes!

He overslept

He is late for school Please open the valve

How does it matter whether your son begs, borrows or studies?

How dare you hit my husband?

May you rot in hell May maggots maim your hand!

'What audacity when she's just a tenant'

'Imagine if she owned a house...!'

'Good lord! She will show off to high Heaven'

'Just wait and watch'

'The way you pamper your son...'

'...he'll become a jobless jerk'

'- Come and catch me - Wait for me'

What is this?

Why didn't you call me?

Nothing serious, ma

Show me your face

What happened to your eye?

- Come and see your son's face - Don't make a fuss, ma

Who hit you?

Our landlord's son hit me

If he beats, will you just take it lying low?

If you get scared and run you'll keep running, Vasu

His father owns this house, pa

So what? Who cares?

Hereafter don't tell us some boy hit you

Proudly say you retaliated

They should reprimand their son

'- Imagine telling him to hit back - Don't keep yelling'

'Look how he has hit our son'

'If you have such temerity being a mere tenant...'

'...imagine if you have your own house'

'What if his eye had been injured?'

'You'll never find a house'

'Roam around from road to road!'

Maaa?

The landlord wants us to remove dad immediately

Let him be here for some more time

Let my brother come

She has been saying this from yesterday

Our daughter is coming for the 1st time

after her marriage, isn't this a bad omen?

Did you get any information?

When will you remove the body?

Sir, my uncle hasn't come as yet

Can we wait just 1 more day-

You sound like a broken record giving me silly excuses

Don't get me wrong

To cremate at your own sweet will, you should live in your own house

Everyone has to die one day

Then they will also face tough times like this

I'll clobber you!

Are you cursing me?

If I die, we own 10 houses

I'm not living as a tenant like your father did

- Remove the body now - How dare you be so heartless!

I told you to remove the body

- Vasu, don't argue - He started it, ma

We'll take him away now

Listen, your son has the gall to grab my shirt?

Along with the dead body you also vacate this house

How can we vacate now?

I don't know all that

Vacate immediately

APPA...!

Ma, I would've punched that man on his face

You stopped me

How many people will you thrash?

Even though it's terrible listening to him...

...nothing wrong in what he asked

In a way, living in a rented house is like being cooped up in jail

With your father's salary...

...half the money was spent on the rent

I somehow managed with the balance

I have a secret wish

You should buy your own house

And live there happily with your kids

I should live to enjoy that sight

The difficulty middle class people face at

the mercy of landlords should end with me

Ma, why are you crying?

Is it that difficult to own a house?

Wait

This house...? Won't do

- This house is small - 'Sit down'

'Please sit down'

Ma, this will be our home

Sit down

I'll buy this place

I'll make you stand like a queen in that balcony

I'll ensure you wave 'tata' when I go to work daily!

- You'll bid me 'bye' happily, ma - Please sit down

'Behaving like a kid Sit down'

Super, mister

- My dear nephew! - Uncle

What is it, Parvathy?

He told me he bought a house

But I never dreamt he would keep his word

Ma, I struggled only for this day to dawn

No more issues with the house owner

This is our own home, ma

Look how smart my son-in-law is!

Aunt is referring to me

Let's go in and talk leisurely

Before the auspicious time lapses we should step inside, come

- You step in first, ma - I'm so glad, hope I don't jinx it

Parvathy, 1 minute

Looks like she'll cast an evil eye!

Give me the coconut, camphor and the match box

Got a match?

- My mother is here - Okay...okay

I don't have either

He isn't a smoker like you

Get it from the corner bunk shop

Stay here, uncle I'll get it

I'll go Hold this coconut

I'll buy you a bigger bungalow than this

Give me a match box

Match box

- I can see stuff being unloaded - We bought the house

- You made a mistake, sir - Why...?

What is it, uncle?

I told you 'Don't fly too high'

'You'll have a nasty fall' Did you listen to me?

What are you implying?

All kinds of things My head is spinning

Instead of going in circles tell me what's up?

I'm steady, you've thrust your foot into the crocodile's jaw

It seems this house is haunted

There's a ghost...?

Who told you, uncle?

- Ask him - Listen

Tell my nephew about this place

Tell him about the couple from abroad who stayed here

A few years ago a family came from abroad and stayed here

Tell him about that old man who went to buy 'parotta' for them

They sent the old man working there to get them 'parotta'

What did I tell yo-

Wait, uncle

What story did I ask you to tell and what are you saying?

- Come here - Why hit him?

Be patient, uncle

- Go ahead - I told him what you asked me to

What did I tell you?

You're changing the menu every time you narrate this

You told my uncle he went to get 'parotta'

I knew when I saw the poster in your shop

Hey, movie maniac!

Will you change the menu for the story I cooked up meticulously?

What if someone had figured it out? I would've lost this house!

Thank God, I bought this house

You bought this house? Soooper, bro!

He and his storytelling ability!

Don't tell this story to anyone else

- Okay, bro - Go

My Math is not too good!

Thank you

What are you looking at, uncle?

Let's go

Zip your lips!

Isn't it wrong to spread rumors that the house is haunted?

People conduct a wedding by lying a 1000 times

I repeated the same lie 1000 times and bought this house

Uncle, when can we ever buy a house like this!

You shouldn't breathe a word to anyone about this

For our bedroom!

'Unload the heavy objects first'

Check inside

Don't keep talking Unload everything

Give me that bag I mean the one over there

'Grandma, where did you disappear?'

'Okay, come in'

'Please smile, pa'

'Ma, you too Smile please'

W...who are you?

His mouth got stuck in a traffic jam?

Poor chap, he stammers

Who are you, sonny?

I'm the owner of this house

So am I!

Are you the owner...?

How can 2 people own 1 house?

'I know'

- Hey catch! - Catch

Try catching me

'Vasu, don't worry, you bought this house with your hard earned money'

No bloody mongrel can cheat you

How can anyone with a key become the owner?

How are you connected to this house?

This Goddess here who cannot speak

- She is my only mother - Okay

She had only 1 husband

That's why he is my only father

But for my only father...

...she is NOT the only wife

'She is my father's 2nd wife'

You mean she is a 'kept' woman!

Keep quiet...idiot!

- Shut up your silly mouth - What audacity!

Let me tell you a story

- 'Story...?' - In a palm tree

...a crow built its nest

And was nesting there for a long time

One day that crow...

...flew out with great difficulty

Became pregnant

And laid 2 eggs inside the nest

The 1st fledgling that came out of the egg...

...sold that palm tree to a colony of bats

2 days later when the 2nd chick emerged out of the 2nd egg...

...all the bats in that palm tree ganged up and beat the fledgling black and blue

Big-crow-bro, won't the chick be hurt?

Why are you all silent?

Tell me if the chick will be hurt or not?

Won't it be in pain?

- It will be hurt - Correct

Not having heard this story before...

...someone has taken you for a royal ride

Who cheated you?

- 'Is your mouth also in a traffic jam?' - Singapore Singaram

Bravo! Well done

Even though it's October now...

...Singapore Singaram has made an 'April Fool' out of you!

'Pack up all your stuff, leave right away Don't forget your slippers'

Listen, keep quiet

I've been a silent spectator

If you keep talking, why am I here?

Vasu has bought this house with great difficulty

Don't think you can swindle it from him

We are here to stay

Pack your bags and leave

- Order an apple juice for bro - 'Okay, bro'

'- Continue - Wait and watch'

I have the law in my fingertips

In this case under section 420...

...add a few more 20s

...I'll peel your skin

- Add extra sugar in the juice - 'Sure, bro'

'Continue'

Has the cat got your tongue?

Narrate some other story and chuck them out

Councilor sir

I don't want world war III

- Vanaroja, let's go - Leave and do what?

We'll file a case in Supreme court

If you do that we'll go to High court

Supreme court has more clout than High court!

Mister, what do you mean?

Listen, whoever aided and abetted you in buying this house...

...we'll haul you into Tihar jail and make you count the bars there!

Under the non-bailable section

- Let's go - Sir, please wait

- 'He wants us to wait' - Will you just leave?

- Sir, huh?! - Tell me

Jambu sir has a valid point we should consider

- Cancel that juice - 'Okay, bro'

Yov! I'm addressing you as bro with respect till this very moment

Don't make me call you 'da'

No problem I'll take care

Vasu seems to talk sense as well

Leave this place, we'll decide after Singapore Singaram comes

Why should I go?

You paid and got cheated

- I got cheated? - Get lost!

- How dare you! - You get lost

(overlap of angry voices)

Why should we walk out?

You vacate if you want

Please be calm

We must go and fetch his brother it seems

(raised voices)

Silence...!

Why are you all screaming like this?

The moment Singapore Singaram is reachable, I'll bring him here

This house is big enough

Just occupy different portions

What kind of solution is this!

I bought the whole house Why should we stay in 1 corner?

- Can't stay here - If you can't, then leave

- Let's stay here - Really...?

- Let us also stay here, mister - Is it a hotel or what?

'For each of us to occupy a room'

'If we dash out rashly...'

'...he'll usurp the whole place'

- Mister, my mother - Is she sleeping?

She'll be awake

That's right

Mister...?

As soon as we go in...

...won't we smell of brandy that's settled inside our belly?

That's why we guzzled a beer to mask the smell of brandy

- Mister, soooper - Thank you

- Mister...? - Yes

What if we smell of beer?

That's why I've bought a quarter whiskey and tucked it in my waist

Hey, lovely

I can manage

Just body language

Until you are with me, I'll be very steady!

Likewise until you're with me, I will be steady on my feet

'Why is the bulb flickering like a tube light?'

Kamal look-alike in 'Kalathur Kannamma'

Why silent sitting?

Good morning!

Wonder how many kids Jambu has!

(song from 'Kaasaedhaan Kadavulada')

'What are you staring at? Look at me'

Will your father Jambu keep jumping whenever he can?

Kiddo

'This bulb doesn't sit well'

Why are you sitting alone holding this ball?

Is your father quite jobless?

We went for a small ride

By which time he has delivered you!

Is your father adding to his brood to get extra sugar in the Govt ration shop?

'Who is there?'

'Tell me, boy'

'Has your father warned you not to talk to us?'

If your father was here now...

...I would've sliced his head into two!

Slice...slice...!

He is talking to himself now!

'You thought it was Slice mango juice?'

'Like slicing banana fritters into a wok of piping hot oil'

Where's your daddy?

Shall we play?

Ammaaaaaa!

Let go of my hand

'Vasu...?'

What...?

- Shweta...? - What's he doing here?

What is she doing here?

'What's that sound?'

Vasu

Hey, Sridivya, let go of his hand

Pa...?

- Come this side - This isn't Sridivya!

Bravo! You've proved 'Like tiger like cub'

Cubs and kittens should live in the forest

Why pester us by staying with us?

- Vanaroja - Yes, dear

Did you see my daughter?

- She's my daughter too! - That's right

Mister, Shweta is his daughter?

Hey Shweta...?

- Don't you remember me? - No, I don't

We found a buyer for your friend's house

- Dad - 'Tell me, dear'

You were right over the phone

They seem to be big-time frauds

You came just now and you're maligning my son!

'Why is his stooge quiet?'

Why are you dumbstruck? They are rattling away

- 'Stooge has spoken!' - Uncle, be quiet

Shweta

Don't you remember me?

I don't know him, pa

- Jambu...? - Damn you!

- If I get angry - If you do

...you won't know the result

'Broke the bottle!'

'Boozing bozo!'

This will be the result

'Look at their guilty faces!'

'Let's go, dear'

Let's all get back

- Spilt the booze! - My bag

'Come now, what are you gazing at?'

'Come soon'

'At this time of night...'

'...who is banging with such a thud?'

Hey! Jambu's son

Is this the time to play with your ball?

Hey! I'm talking to you

'Go and sleep'

Uncle, catch

Go sleep

'Where did he vanish?'

'Uncle...!'

I'm here

'Don't run, wait for me'

'I'll catch you taking a short cut'

'Uncle...?'

I'm here

'I'll come down now'

'Did they give birth to him or download him from the internet?'

'Size of a flash drive and he's driving me up the wall'

'Junior Jambu'

Where are you?

Now I shall dedicate a rhyme for you

I am sure you will love it

(song from 'Vedalam')

"Do you know, darling he's a wolf in sheep's clothing?"

"That hustler of a hooker said 'eff off' to her customer"

Junior Jambu?

Hey...!

'Where are you?'

Jambu's son

If you listen to me...

...I'll buy you candies

Then I'll play ball with you everyday

Okay...?

'Now uncle will start counting'

Before I finish counting 3...

...you should come and snatch away the ball from me

Okay...?

One

Two

'Rajini uncle'

'I am here'

'Here...here'

'Has he turned into a statue?'

'Why is he praying in the middle of the house?'

Coffee

I'll get you coffee

Shall we wash clothes in the washing machine?

For 3 days the machine won't work

- Where's your son? - He has gone to school

- Feed me, dear - Thank God!

- When he comes home - Take your hands off

When did we have a son?

We don't have a son

'What is this man saying?!'

'Then who was that boy who played with me?'

Vasu...?

'Ma, coffee'

'How long will you take?'

Vasu...?

How do you remember my name now?

Last night your performance was very different

You are a fine one to talk!

You left without a word to me

What do you want me to do?

You want me to hug you the moment I see you?

Or should I say I know you very well and give my dad a heart attack?

Vasu, here's your coffee

Thanks, ma

Hold

Ask them to open the bathroom They've locked it

Bathroo-

Don't you think this is too much?

Will anyone lock the loo? Is he a whacko or what?

1st ask your dad to open the bathroom

Why talk to the rabbit when the lion is here?

Come here, dear

Why are you talking to him?

He's willing to apologize for all his misdeeds

- Apologize? - Go ahead

You should only apologize to us for barging in here like an owl!

Who is the owl you're referring to?

Just because my husband looks like a son of a jackfruit...

...will you call him owl, buffalo, etc?

He might even call you a wild boar! Ask him

'What joy calling your husband all the beastly names possible!'

Sir, you first unlock that bathroom

You'll come to my house and order me, the owner?

What...? Your house?

Uncle, if I let him stay here out of pity, this owl has the gall-

You let me stay out of pity!

Vanaroja, this won't work

I'll divide this house till we solve the ownership issue

- Hold this 'soba' - Who is Shoba?

Come, they are dividing the house

They are partitioning the house

None of you should cross this

Have you gone that far?

Shweta, get me a chalk

I'll draw a line This is a challenge

'Someone from above will watch all your misdeeds'

Shweta, you know he is blabbering-

Let go of me

'If I pounce on you I'll weigh 3 tonnes!'

Old lady, warn your son not to badger us

'Chalk is with the old hag'

'Oops! I meant my mother-in-law'

'Catch!'

'- Let go - Move your feet'

'What happened?'

'My husband already has a weak heart'

'Jambu sir, what happened?'

Mister

Shweta's mother

...hit me

What do you mean?

What did you do?

"In a dusky twilight venue"

"Let the sweet memories continue"

(song from 'Idhaya Veenai')

'What is he up to?'

Vanaroja, too many dirty clothes

Let's load the washing machine

'Claiming dirty clothes have piled up he is crumpling the ironed shirts!'

We can wash all that tonight

It will be too noisy if we wash the clothes at night, come now

'He and his washing 1-track mind!'

Come now

You go I'll follow

People wash their clothes once a week

Only here it's a daily ritual!

You tell me

If you wash...

...clothes get a fresh look, right?

But Jambu comes out fresh and refreshed!

"Whatever this king's deed"

"It can never go wrong indeed"

"If I tease and appease the car does a good job with ease"

"Size doesn't matter Comfort is what I am after"

Don't rub your stubby feet on mine, take your feet off

You're just a sidekick

If your legs are tired put them to rest on the floor

Who is the sidekick? You need to be kicked

You wash ironed clothes all over again

I'll repeat it as often as I want

We have a teenage daughter and he's so-

Again and again, as many turns as I can

'- Where did he go? - No point talking to him'

Madam, if he's brainless washing clean clothes repeatedly

- Have you also lost it? - What?

If I wish I'll buy new clothes and wash them repeatedly

Because the washing machine is mine

If the washing machine is yours, electricity bill is mine

Then shall I put my dirty clothes in your washing machine?!

Bloody wretch of a fellow!

'I could tell you were frustrated'

This is what I asked

And she hit me

She hit you?

We shouldn't let this go, mister

'Shouldn't spare that Jambu jumbo head!'

(humming)

Tight hug and deep kiss

Let go of me Someone will see us

I am unable to see!

I could at least flirt with you earlier

After coming to this house there's no 'give & take' between us

Lock my lips and kiss me, sweetie

I am so angry, I feel like demolishing this house-

Who is it?

Hey!

I've whitewashed even darkness

Don't mess with me

Who is it?

Aiyo! Sooranam

Sandhya, it's dragging me Don't let go of me

Save me

Someone please help me

Call someone

Help!

Maaaa, someone please come

Mister, she called her mother

- Let go, stop...stop - Okay...okay, mister

Gawd!

How was that?

If we can scare her then Jambu is a piece of cake!

I almost had a heart attack

You got scared, huh? Look at your face

"Horoscope of this sinner is no means a winner"

"The time is ripe for him to be thrown out of this galaxy"

"Can anyone cross this line sneakily and come over this side so easily?"

"Time to exit through the gate And flee for his life in haste"

"Scared stiff to stand before us bravely"

"In a tizzy, thrown off balance is he"

"Horoscope of this loser is no means a winner"

"The time is right for him today to be thrown out of the Milky Way"

"It seems spirits visit only at midnight in high spirit"

"Don't miss this full-fledged white miss"

"She'll attack even Arnold Schwarzenegger"

"This is the right season for her"

"Throwing mud into your eyes craftily"

"Make you pee in your pants hastily"

"On cue, using tactics of that zombie you brew a very strong coffee"

"For the whole family to flee without telling anybody"

"Kattadurai's horoscope Just a horror-scope with no hope"

"Time for him to be thrown out Of that there's no doubt"

Every time you scare him not just 500 bucks

I'll pay you Rs 1000

I've never seen a 1000 rupee note in my life

Don't worry, somehow I will scare him and make him pee in his pants

Tell me when and where I'll be there

Every time the light is switched on in that room...

...you should scare him decked up as a ghost

How was it?

I'm shit scared

You're acting for 5000 bucks!

"Horoscope of this whiner is no means a winner"

"The time is ripe for him to be thrown out of this galaxy"

"Can anyone cross this line sneakily and come over this side so easily?"

"Time to exit through the gate And flee for their lives in haste"

"Scared shit to face us fearlessly"

"In a tizzy, thrown off balance is he"

Stop it, man

I liked it too

But I bought this because you liked it

You'll look good in that color

Where did you gallivant?

I went out with my cousin, ma

Did you and Vasu go out together?

Or are you his 'hustler'?

- Tell me - Sister-in-law!

What happened?

Aunty, don't blame Sandh-

Shut up! Neck-deep in mischief and being righteous

- Aunt - Come here

Don't be a drama queen

Why are you so furious?

Aunty, don't blame Sandhya

Shut up! You grabbed my daughter's groom by using her

As if I don't know about you

What are you blabbering?

If I speak the truth I'm blabbering, huh?

Aunty, I know Vasu even before I met all of you

Oh! Because your father couldn't get this house...

...do you plan to occupy it by luring Vasu?

You're better off doing some other job!

How can we decide who gets attracted to whom?

Let her marry the boy of her choice

Then what about my daughter?

'Her life can be ruined, huh?'

'You mean to say I don't care about my daughter?'

Shweta, what happen-?

'I didn't even imagine you'll ruin my dream like this'

'- Nothing of that sort - Do you really think this is fair?'

Parvathy, even you've changed with your new found affluence

Aunt, have you lost it? Talking to my mother like this?

I am mad to let my tongue run

For thinking you'll be my son-in-law, I'm a madcap

Wasn't my husband generous even if your mother didn't ask him?

We are mad indeed

When you needed money I gave without even counting

I am a nutcase

Whatever you gave I'll return with interest

If she is being stupid and spitting out rubbish...

...why are you adding fuel to the fire?

He has been treating us only as a money lender

If we still stay here we will be degrading ourselves

Let us leave this place right now

- What? - Don't be a fool

He spoke out of turn, sister-in-law

Why do you overreact?

The house owner has spoken We are leaving now

If we overstay our welcome we'll lose what little self-respect is left, let's go

Shut up and come with me

Serves me right for coming here thinking blood is thicker than water!

Why do I ask to be humiliated?

What is this, sister-in-law?

Listen to me

- No need - Please wait

Vasu, apologize to your aunt

Fall at her feet and apologize

Parvathy, what crime did he commit you want him to apologize to her?

Let him apologize

Go on

Maaa?!

Apologize

Ma, she humiliated us

Even if we didn't have a house of our own all these years...

...how much they have helped us lead a decent life?

Just because we are well off now how can we forget our past?

Or doesn't she have a right to speak her mind?

First go and apologize to her

Can you or won't you?

Tell me

Don't you realize she is humiliating us?

Anna, let us leave this house

Why are you being impulsive too?

I can't live with a son like this

Ma, what's wrong with you?

Listen to me patiently

A home is where your kith and kin live in harmony

If you want to live like Robinson Crusoe...

...that isn't called a home

Cemetery! Let go of my hand

Why are you defending- Ma, please hear me out

Let go of me

Such a pain!

Obsessed with this phone

Go now

I've told you not to fiddle with the phone on charge

'I have enough headache as it is with this house'

'I have to cook all by myself'

'Someone can come and help me, right?'

'Divya, come down and get me the turmeric powder bottle'

'Divya, can you hear me?'

She's such a nag!

'Bloody pain you are! Come down right now'

'Divya, will you come down or shall I come up now?'

Don't make a sound

I heard the same voice too

Don't go out

'Divya, can't you hear your mother calling you?'

'Can't you?'

Do you know how scared I was hearing my own voice?

You got scared of your own voice?

Then imagine my plight for the past 20 years!

Not funny at all

I hate staying here I'm so scared

Right time, Vanaroja

Shall I tell you a remedy for your fear?

Shall we both...

...go near the washing machine

Wash our clothes and spend quality time there?

Your fear will vanish

My dear Miss World! My chocolate chip muffin!!

You don't get access to any machine

Then?

Hand-wash all your clothes!

'Even after marriage I am treated like an office boy'

'Mister, where are you?'

Ouch!

You almost split my skull open

My family walked out in a huff

- So what? - Is this plan needed now?

You know how to bring back the ones who walked out

I know how to make the ones here run out

Just watch my performance

Whom do you intend scaring now?

Shweta's grandma

She should reach Heaven with my scary act

Already she is past her expiry date Such an expert at dodging Lord Yama!

Thinks she is heroine Nayantara with her hair let loose

Quiet, mister

Start your act

"Stiff and shaky scaredy-cat Chicken hearted rotten rat"

'Mister, look how I take this wicket in just 1 over'

Mister, start music...start

Look at her!

Spice up

'We will haunt you to kingdom come'

'Jazz up, mister'

'Add more spirit'

'Look how I pep up the scary spirit part'

'Her reaction is changing'

'She is scared now, mister'

- Did you notice? - Yes, mister

Spirit up Pump it up

Watch me now

'Some more...encore!'

'Her head is tilted to one side'

'End of her life-cycle!'

Mister, we should plan individually for everyone

- Consider it done - Do a complete wash-out, Vasu

'Why is she sitting here, mister?'

Hey! Shweta

Why are you crying now?

Because of what my aunt said?

I don't even mind the way she spoke about you and me

But she maligned my dad

He is going out of his way only for my sake

He wants to gift that house to his son-in-law

In your dreams!

You'll gift my house to some random groom, huh?

Looks like you have even fixed the groom

Madcap! I meant you

You said 'son-in-law' Then you say you meant me

How many people will you gift the same house to?!

Don't you get what I'm saying?

Or do you want me to spell it out to you?

Tube light!

How dare you say I'm slow on the uptake!

Mister, she whizzed away in a tizzy?

Did you hit her?

Er...I didn't hit her She was the one who hit on me

Why didn't you give her back good?

She made the 1st move Then I responded!

That's the spirit My dear lion cub!

Mister, same way you should respond to...

- ...her mother too - Kiss Shweta's mother!

Also her father

Yuck!

With gay abandon I should see that sight!

Shut up

You make your move, mister

I'm so happy with what you did

Okay, okay

Mister, if you can, do it to that old lady too

I can't do all that!

Wasn't that Shweta's mother?

Yes, mister Let's go and find out

We shouldn't stay here for another minute

Sir...sir?

- Packed her tablets? - What happened, sir?

Got all her old prescriptions?

- Hold this - Sir, we saw an ambulance

Do you want our entire family to perish?

If I'm forced to send my mother in an ambulance...

...if I continue to live here, I have no dignity whatsoever, move aside

- Whatever it is we'll see - See what?

I've seen through all your act!

You think I don't know the pranks you were up to?

Sticking that paper on the mirror to scare me

Making a girl run in front of me dressed up as a ghost

Flicking the TV channels

Mimicking my wife's voice

Scaring my wife and child out of their wits

Now you've almost sent my mother to her grave

I know whatever drama you enacted so far

Sir, simply don't blame us for everything

What is your proof we did all this?

Show it to him

'Our scary act today must send the old lady to Heaven'

What are you staring at?

If we stay a moment longer here they will ruin our lives totally

Let's go

We don't want this damn house

Hey! Shweta I didn't, er-

What did I tell you?

What have you done?

How can you do this to my grandma?

Shweta?

Shweta, listen to me

All because of him

Whatever the reason we shouldn't have done this

Forget it, mister

The one who asked us to vacate has walked out!

But I feel sad, mister

Thinking of the grandma?

To think my drama has sent an old lady into coma

What else do you expect?

It was your idea to scare that old lady

You scared that wig-head flicking the TV channels

You scared that same wig-head by making him sit in that chair

You stuck that sticker on the mirror

You drew that scary face on the egg

Egg-

You mimicked Shweta's mother's voice!

I imitated Shweta's mother's voice?

When did I imitate her?

Neither did I

'You didn't?'

Who else can it be?

Mister, I told you long ago there's some spirit in this house

- That small boy - Don't be silly

You'll tell some ghastly ghost story

'What is he looking at?'

If you're right about this house then it should show through-

It has...shown with full effect!

Why is the electricity so eccentric?!

Hey! Sit...sit

Mister, this is an old building

Old wiring Loose connection

That's why

This house will end up making us loonies

'Why is he looking at me now?'

If really a spirit exists...

...it will show its true colors

'It has shown us its pitch black color!'

'Mister'

'No one at home'

'Come back in the morning'

Who is it?

Vasu...?

Vasu

Don't play the fool now, mister

Vasu

Where are you?

Vasu

(sound of anklets)

Va...Va...Vasu

Mister, can't you say 'I am here'?

I-am-here!

Why that drawl?

Have you decided I won't be here?

Got scared?

Who said so?

Ye...yes

Thank God you lit a candle

My grandma told me

Ghosts are scared of slippers and fire

Are ghosts scared of slippers and fire?

YES!

Right...turn right

'Mister, why did we come here?'

'To meet E.B.Rajeswari'

'She's an excellent exorcist'

She is well versed in the supernatural

She can even differentiate a fan's breeze and a ghost's breath!

Are you serious?

Such a long queue

'Mister, just butt in here'

'So many people are waiting'

- Where are you going? - On a pilgrimage!

Waiting to meet madam

So are we Go behind and stand

Stand behind him, mister

He told me to stand here

Go back

Sister-

Don't push me

Go back

If we go any further back we'll end up behind this building!

You didn't believe me, right?

Saw the crowd?

Do all of them have problems?

With ghosts being a perennial problem in our country...

...I won't be surprised if Lawrence is here wanting to be freed from 'Kaanchana'!

Madam is so famous

Ask him what his problem is

Call him

Hey! Blockhead

- How dare you call me a blockhead? - Keep quiet, mister

Don't get offended He looks so smart

Sir, what is your problem?

My life is a problem

Last date, if I don't pay up he'll cut the electricity

I'm standing here on 'loss of pay'

Last date or else your power will be cut?

Why are you standing here?

To pay the electricity bill

We came to drive away a ghost

Ghost...that's the spirit

Why are they butting in like this?

'Tit for tat!'

"When eyes see you transfixed they blossom anew"

"The vision which I awaited Visible now stimulated"

"My body melts, soul softens O' pool with honey glistens"

"Let wisdom dawn and enlighten all along the path of life unbidden"

(song from 'Guna')

Mister, who is this-

E.B.Rajeswari

'Give me'

'Glad to meet you, madam'

I asked for the electricity card You hold my hand instead

Madam, don't you know us?

Kumar spoke to you about us

Sooranam and Vasu

- Oh! You are that duo? - Yes, madam

- Wait - Come, mister

Why do you look so dazed?

You're so beautifully eye catching!

Wish we had met when you were 18 and I was 20?

What to do?

When I was young I was paired with older men

Only now I have a chance to talk to youngsters!

'Even now, look at my plight'

Even now, though you are dark you spoke to me

And your friend who is fair is standing so quiet

'Talk to her'

Hello, nice to meet you

Please come

'I was just making her feel comfy'

Tell me how I can help you

I think this is the work of some spirit

What crap! I thought a ghost was the cause

Sit down

I shouldn't have spoken to you in English

Spirit also means ghost

Maybe it is an English ghost

What does it need?

It may want to get a job done through you

We can't even handle the job at hand Imagine working for that too!

Anyhow if you are doubtful whether your house is haunted or not...

'...sprinkle turmeric powder all over the floor'

'Fix a mirror at a normal person's height'

Prepare a banana leaf feast

Okay, madam

I was eagerly looking forward to a gourmet meal on a banana leaf

But you made us stand wrapped in this leaf like barbarians

You get the dinner leaf and I get the breakfast leaf, huh?

Leaf is proportionate to the size, mister

You could have given me a betel leaf instead

It isn't too late, mister

Why this leaf-litmus tes-

'Has he gone?'

'I am right here'

I'll do anything to retain this house

Come, the street is empty Let's circumambulate the temple

- You go then - Come along, mister

'Run with your feet placed normally'

'I feel itchy on my butt, mister'

'If I scratch, the leaf will split apart'

Come

'What is he looking at?'

'I'll poke your eyes!'

What is he barking at?

I'll show you

'Get lost!'

Why did you hit that dog?

That dog barked at me thinking I was hiding some bone here

Did you refer to it as 'dog'?

As if I can call a dog as 'ghost'

Mister, in a public place...

...you've insulted an animal that can't express its thoughts

Our animal activist madam won't spare you

Why?

Because dogs have a registered union

If our heroine knew, she will make mincemeat out of you

You're painting a ghastly picture

Dog-sir, I don't know your name

- He ran away - Doesn't matter

Even then I am very sorry, dog-sir

'What's the use of apologizing now?'

You were so right He has brought his clan

Let's escape, mister

But I didn't do anything

Then stay right there, mister

Aiyo! I'm coming too

'Looks like I'll download looking at this dog-marathon!'

'Let's hide'

'Have the dogs gone?'

Mister, leaf...leaf

I know it's a leaf

Is this leaf-litmus test needed?

Leaf, mister

I know what a mini-skirt I was forced to drape!

Not that, mister

Leaf...!

Leaf?

God 'cover' me!

Holy cow!

Instead of auctioning the word 'leaf' thrice...

...you could have told me the cow believed in 'go green'!

Before your ex-girlfriend comes let us scoot from here!

Don't abandon me

What a naked-truth moment!

Hurry up, mister

I feel some nut fell down!

'Quick'

'Don't look back'

'I warned you not to'

Cover yourself! I'm getting cockeyed

'Just 1 glance won't do You must rehearse a few times!'

No problem, your mother has regained consciousness

Is she out of coma?!

She is fine it seems

We can shift her to the normal ward

She will be fine if she takes rest for a few days

Is this passion fruit or poison?

Don't you like my mother being alive?

Be possessive of that possessed house, get lost!

Is this the time to raise this topic, pa?

Sorry, aunty

Let's go

How can you be so rude to someone who has come here?

How can I talk to someone who hasn't come here?!

How is your grandma?

She's much better now, aunty

She can be shifted to the normal ward

Thank God!

I was praying throughout the way

Don't take anything to heart

Not at all, aunty

Your father and Vasu are 2 opposite squares in a horoscope

I am worried the gap will widen further

And this will cause a major rift in your bonding

Try and talk to him about this

Aunty, how can I-?

Isn't there a difference if I tell him as a mother and you persuading him?

See you

Mister

I think Shweta has come

Don't talk to me about that shorty

I feel like creepy-crawlies are crawling all over me

I thought I could patch up-

Pack me off to the cemetery and then patch up with her

Rather than lose my dignity and live for 100 years...

...I want to live for 100 seconds without being insulted

Fine, then I'll give in to the wishes of my aunt and marry Sandhya

As far as I know you will never find a better gem than Shweta!

You are right to patch it up

'Shameless'

Mister, in your Operation Patch-up

...you should hustle up a baby for me in 10 months

You sound like a hustler already!

Thank you

- Mister? - Pchht!

Any help?

Don't show off!

You are cute indeed

Hey! Shwe-

Patching up on the bed, huh?

Shweta, you look hot

I think you're really boiling mad at me

Why are you so quiet?

Sorry, Shweta

My plan misfired

Sooranam is the main culprit

If you are angry with me in such a mesmerizing way

...what will I do?

- Vasu - What?

There's something under the cot, Vasu

Shweta, I may not have-

There's something under the cot

'What now?'

Okay, I'll check

Don't be scared

Vasu, someone is on my bed

On your bed-

Someone is on my cot

Shweta?

Shweta...?

Aiyaiyo!

Vasu

'Trying to escape?'

A hand is grabbing me

Shweta!

Bloody witch! Let go of my hand

'This is my house'

Gawd! Ghost!!

Ghost

Vasu...?

Ghost!

- Vasu, what is it? - What the hell!

Get up

What?

Shweta...turn

Hey! Vasu

Your feet touch the floor

Tell me, 'I saw a ghost inside, Shweta'

I swear, you are the ghost in there

Oh! So I am the ghost now?

Then?

It has written on the floor 'This is my house'

With turmeric powder, right?

Yes, Shweta

- Okay, come - Where?

Let's go in and check

I'm not coming inside

Let us go in and meet the ghost

I swear a ghost is in there

1st stop spinning yarns

Thanks to you, my grandma is in a hospital My father is in a murderous rage

I wanted to forget all that happened And take you to patch up everything

You're acting even in front of me!

Act-

It isn't an act

I am stating a fact!

How can you be so cheap?

I swear on my mother There is a ghost in this-

Let me go

Don't kill your mother by swearing on her

My father is right

You've really gone mad

Shweta, hear me out

Get married to this house!

Hey Shweta!

Madam...?

I don't want ice in my juice

Don't get mad at me I have a bad cold

Maybe you can add ice in Vasu's lime juice

Instead of being funny to a feverish pitch...

...listen to what I have to say silently and patiently

I will now dip this lemon in this glass of water

If this lemon floats...

...this house isn't haunted

In case...

...it sinks to the bottom

...this house is definitely haunted

My 'spirit' test starts

Not haunted

There isn't any ghost in this house

Not haunted it seems, mister

I was right, right?

No gh-ost...!

Good lord!

It's going all the way down

There's a spirit here...it's here!

I believe this place is haunted

Ghost?!

She claimed it is haunted and went into dream world!

She is going overboard

This house which is giving you the shivers...

...was once upon a time

...filled with love and laughter in every room and corner

Family was sole paradise

...to Sangili Andavar

Good morning, sir

Rasu, my dear son

My sister

And brothers have come, son

If only my son was alive today...

...he would've played with your children

He wasn't blessed to do so

- Brother-in-law - What can we do now?

This well provided water for the village

Isn't it fate, if your son fell in accidentally while retrieving his ball?

How can you break down, 'anna'?

Wherever you are, I'll be happy if you are all united

That's priority

Whatever the situation you should not forget our roots

Only we can help our village folks, right?

All that service is fine, I agree

But we should save too

Charity begins at home!

My dear bro-in-law, you'll never save

A generous heart is all we need

Besides the giving heart you need assets too

Won't you keep quiet instead of starting an argument?

Everybody is minding their own business

Go on, enjoy the spread

From the time we stepped in here...

...you've been taking care of everyone

Take care of your health, bro

I have this joy of family bonding once in a blue moon

On all other days, I'm all alone in solitude

When we are here for you why should you live alone?

Why don't you stay with us and be happy?

This isn't just a house, dear

It's the foundation of our family

This is the house our Rasu lived

How can I leave this place with all its lovely memories?

I thought after his son died he would be bedridden

He looks ready to marry 10 times!

I thought he might broach the topic of dividing our assets

But his lips are zipped tight

You saw how he stared at my brother-in-law?

Of course, I did

He wants to do social service it seems

If he also donates this house with the same intention, that's it

We have 2 daughters

He has no children

His only son fell into the well

You stay here believing he will give you a share

I'll leave with my kids

'Why are you raising your voice?'

'So what if I scream? I want everyone to hear'

'You don't have the guts to face your brother, you'll target only me'

I'll talk to him Be quiet for a minute

'Will you talk or-'

Wait, let me talk to him

Please be calm

Give me a minute I'll talk to him

What were you arguing about?

We are leaving tomorrow

You've just now arrived

We've been here for 10 days

Kids can't miss school, that's why

What do I know about school?

- Uncle - Come, my dear

Had Rasu been alive, I would have known

I'm a lone man

Okay, you want to leave tomorrow

Can the kids sleep in my room tonight?

Can't parents have some sense?

Instead of getting along amicably picking on the silliest excuse

Uncle, who are you scolding?

Your parents

You are the reason for my parents fighting, uncle

Huh...me? What did I do?

Why aren't you dead as yet?

Why should I die?

I just want to know why you aren't dead as yet!

Why should I die, dear?

Only after you die my parents will get this house

My dear children

Go back to your parents and sleep in their room

Uncle...?

I hope you'll die soon?

Why are you whining like most women?

Be bold

Are you asking me to be brave and snatch the property?

Why not?

If he doesn't give no other go but to grab

Will you get his property now?

Or wait for him to donate everything to this village on his death bed?

What do you want us to do?

As if we can strangle him?

Don't put words into my mouth

I can't do it

If you can't, forget it

I'll do the honors

Won't I do at least this for my bro-in-law?

I think he is right

Then what? Should we come once a year?

To eat the lamb he slaughters and wear new clothes he gets us?

- When can we lead a cushy life? - Who is bothered about him?

Only we will as his kith and kin

Let's finish it behind closed doors

Why do you think it's wrong?

He's always mooning over his dead son Rasu

That's why I'm saying we'll ensure he joins his son in Heaven!

Are you sure?

Yes, 100% sure

Let's kill him, bro

Hey! Why do you raise your voice?

Maha might hear

Stay right here

- Appa? - Rasu, my son

If you had died of your own accord...

...I would have been a humane being

Will you leave this world only if we send you?

What are your brothers and sister doing, pa?

They aren't even aware I am dead and gone

They're killing me to grab my wealth

Rasu, this is called killing with excess love

Let them be united at least in this

Come, dear

- Let's go - Okay, pa

'Let's measure this first'

'Get that chain to measure'

Hold it straight

Loosen it a little bit

Check if it is okay

- Hold it right there - Lift the basin

Who are you? Why are you measuring?

Landlady has asked us to knock down these pillars and build a room

- Who is the landlady? - Sister-in-law...?

Watch your words

We'll break or build

Who are you to intrude into our property issues?

What...? Your house?

Do you have a will to affirm that?

'According to law, daughters cannot be legal heirs'

Are you aware or not?

That's right

You stood near the door twiddling your thumbs!

I smothered him with the pillow

If you take that into account I own this house

By the same token, I gripped his arm too

- Then what's my share? - Don't yell

Because you gripped his arm...

...we compensated you with lands magnanimously

- Then what...? - How...?

You'll give us barren land

And usurp this whole house, huh?

The front portion of the house is for me

Will we lick our wounds with the back portion?

Hey! Whaaaat?!

If you help yourself to the house...

...will we be left with our undies?!

Why are you raising your voice?

If I can kill Sangili you think I can't kill you?

We know to close your chapter too

I took my own life just to ensure you'll live happily in harmony

But after grabbing my property...

...you've drifted apart

'The problem arises only if this house exists'

Let's raze it down and partition it

Take your damn shovel To hell with roots or fruits!

This house is the problem

Anna?

Are you alright?

What's happening?

Let go of his hand

'It will drag you too'

What is that?

We shouldn't stay here a minute longer, come

- Let's rush out - Madam

Hurry...let's get out

Let go of my hand

Forget this house

What do you mean?

Sangili Andavar is in the peak of his anger

We learnt what we shouldn't

Madam, I need this house

Don't share their sins

You'll end up being destroyed

Forget this house and focus on your work

Let's go, Vasu

There's a limit to spinning stories I need this house

Don't go back, Vasu

Come back, Vasu You're not listening to me

Hurry Come with me

Your age is such you won't listen to the voice of experience

I was stupid to have tagged along with you

Why did E.B. Rajeswari scare us like this?

That house meant the world to me

- Now everything is gone - You spilt my booze!

We lost this too, mister!

How many houses we sold spinning some yarn or the other?

- Result of all those sins piling up - What sins?

We helped people who couldn't sell their houses

How can that be a sin?

Whatever it is, we bought that house with our hard earned money

"Lord Govinda Avatar of Krishna"

"God Omnipotent Lord Omnipresent"

"Avatar of the Creator Govinda, the Arbitrator"

"Lord Krishna, the mastermind Savior of entire mankind"

"Bashes me on my left side, mister On my right too, bruise and blister"

"This life chases me to a hell hole spiritedly"

"It twirls me tight, I tumble It swirls me sharp, I stumble"

"My dreams dissolve in thin air Stripping my hip of my trouser"

"I escalate 1/2" and 1" forward"

"Next second I am 6" back where I started"

"To buy a bait I begged and borrowed"

"Trying to fish in a mirage, oh! I'm drowning myself in sorrow"

"What a wallop, I'm still reeling"

"Earthquake in my heart, wobbly feeling"

Go for it!

"Break barriers, against all strife"

"Like the phoenix I'll make a new life"

"God Omnipotent Lord Omnipresent"

"Govinda, my friend Govinda, my Godsend"

'How can you lie saying this house is haunted?'

'Isn't that wrong?'

'I will do anything to retain this house'

'I can't live with a son like this'

'Get married to this house!'

'Forget this house'

'You paid and got cheated'

You will scale 'great heights'

'If you get scared and run you'll keep running, Vasu'

Sangili Andavaa!

Sangili Andavaa

Sangili Andavaa

Yov! Where are you?

I fabricated stories to this entire town

Are you selling salt to the sea?!

If you are here show yourself to me

You've seen people who were scared of you until now

But have you met a man who can scare you?

Come out, I say

Sangili Andavaa

Show your face

Till now you've only seen one side of me

I have a Hyde side

If you see that-

Only because I promised my mother...

...I was bent on buying this place

...I lied to everyone this place is haunted

How should you have responded?

1 quarter

No, you should've accepted booze and 'biriyani' as offering and vanished

Instead of that you're scaring people daily

Be true to your conscience

I struggled like hell to buy this house

I'm on the streets

You, as a gho-

Why do ghosts need a house?

If you have the guts, show up

Come out, man

Hey Sangili, come out

My God, I'm so scared!

I feel like puking blood

Is this some ghost-prank of yours?

If I wish I can die like you

But if you wish, can you live like me?

Who is superior? You or me?

Huh...? Tell me

Answer!

Yov! Sangili

I bought this house with my blood, sweat and tears

Listen to me now

Tomorrow when I come here, you should have left

Go to a more comfortable ghost bungalow

Or else-

I spent half a million and bought this house!

You already know

Calculate

The figures will tally!

We work only once in a while Have you come to ruin even that?

I already told you to forget that house

By the way

You didn't go to that house I hope?

- I did, madam - Bloody fellow!

Didn't step into the house, right?

1 minute

I forgot and left this bag in that house the other day

That means you went in

Hope you didn't let that ghost loose?

- Of course not, madam - Thank God

But I've challenged Sangili I'll throw him out of the house

I'm not part of this game

- Forget it - Madam

You disobeyed my instructions royally

And now you 'madam' me!

Please listen to me

Why come here after challenging Sangili?

To get me into trouble?

Looks like you'll invite that ghost to my house!

The words you just said

'My house'

That's the reason, madam

Everyone has a dream close to their heart

That house is my dream

When I thought my dream came true...?

That's my house, madam

I want it back somehow

To get my home back...

...show me the right way

'Sri Ganesha: Remover of obstacles'

If fate shuts a door...

...faith will open another door, Vasu

Sangili who was in a murderous rage seeing his siblings split...

...can be appeased seeing a close knit family!

We were living together in that house anyway

You were together but were you united and happy?

Whoever occupied that house earlier...

...bring all of them under one roof to live in unity

Seeing your unity Sangili might leave the house

I am not too sure

It's worth a try

Vasu...?

Be alert

It may even be fatal

For whom?

Anyone who steps into that house

Why didn't you call me to serve yo-?

Amma

Wait, ma

Ma, listen to me

You realize I exist only now?

All these days that house was more important to you

Vasu, what's wrong?

Why are you crying?

1st I lost my dad

Then all my relatives

Now I've lost all our wealth

What do you mean?

That house

It is no longer ours, ma

I called an exorcist over

A spirit called Sangili haunts that place

Which century are you in?

No, ma

I am scared

People who are alive are worse than dead souls

I'm concerned only about your happiness

I am here for you Don't be scared

She said it may be life threatening or fatal

Get up

Acho! Wipe your eyes

We've seen the worst of landlords

As if this can be more scary!

We'll take this as a challenge

How can someone stay in our house That too without paying rent?!

Come along

Bro, someone is here to see you

Who?

This boy, huh?

Will you let any stranger walk in because he asks for me?

Won't you find out who he is?

Go back to work

We've come away giving up our rights

Torturing me even here

I'm already feeling miserable

I never thought my prank would become so serious

Unknowingly if I have troubled you please don't hold it against me

Sorry

Who wants your apology?

Why did you come here now?

I got a lady by name E.B.Rajeswari to inspect our house

- In our house - What?

There is a spirit called Sangili Andavan

He is responsible for all the hassles we went through

And...?

If we go in there as a family...

...the spirit can be driven away Rajeswari madam told me so

Divya, didn't I tell you?

I know an uncle who spins funny tales often to me

Today it is a ghost story

Listen to him and give him your feedback

This is not fiction

- It's a fact - Let it be true

Will I spend my money and cast an evil spell on my family?

Why are you differentiating your family and mine?

Even after all this...

...I am struggling to keep the promise I made to my mother

I don't want any help from you

I'll go in there all by myself-

'He's creating a sympathy wave and influencing everyone'

Uncle, I'll also come

My sister will also come

Let's go

Aren't you going?

I'll just wash my hands and join them

'He has brainwashed my entire family'

You mentioned a ghost or some God's name?

- Sangili Andavar - That's the name

Let us assume you are right

I'll spend the night with my family there

If no spirit appears what will you do?

- Dad - Shweta

What should I do, sir?

If nothing happens before dawn you should leave the house

Is this the time for all these conditions?

Why are you butting in?

Not just the house, my dear boy

Leave everything behind and scoot

Okay, sir

If there isn't any spirit...

...I'll give up everything

Now you are talking

You go, I'll follow with my family

Hey...all of you are here

- Uncle isn't here - Vasu, come

1 minute

Listen to every word of mine

You should be careful only now

This is an amulet of God Karuppusamy

If you tie this at the entrance...

...no spirit, specter, ghost, ghoul, black magic can harm you

All evil spirits will evacuate

Yov! You are like his father Why don't you lend a hand?

He isn't even a human!

It's okay, madam I'll go alone and tie it

Take care, son

'Appa?'

'Go ahead, Vasu I'll hold you'

'Good'

Why is the amulet taking an U-turn?

How did he land here?

My dear nephew Tie the amulet

Did you think I'll abandon you?

You are like my first born

Tie the amulet

We'll face whatever the force

Tie it, Vasu

"Be brave, break all obstacles, I say"

"Cross every hurdle come what may"

"In every step you take, hereafter Batter all evil, smash and shatter"

"Let us climb the highest peak ever Victory march, hand-in-hand together"

Sir, why did you throw the key outside?

What if one of us here gets scared and escapes?

He just won't reform

What to do with this Sad-sack?

"Every wave in the sea droplets of water you see"

"Each and every spark of fire aglow will erupt as a volcano tomorrow"

"In a journey every path that unfolds reaches the destination of course"

"A zillion ghosts may cross your way They will flee in fear if you are brave"

This is a room

Where is the washing machine?

Everyone is holding on to their dear lives

You are still obsessed with that washing machine

Disgusting!

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

"Sangili-Bungili, encore"

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

'Tell him we are here'

'That we are back!'

"Beyond happiness in life there should also be some strife"

'You were together But were you united?'

"On the way only if we fall and rise rivers of joy will materialize"

"When we were in 2 directions different Time made us bond, it's so apparent"

What are you doing?

"If you and I unite as 'we' we can achieve our goal surely"

"Sangili-Bungili"

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

"Sangili-Bungili"

If you dial 100 the police will land here

(playing Dumb Charades)

'Hands up!'

- Superstar - Baashha

Correct

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

Can't understand anything

'Thala...Ajith Vedalam!'

'Vedalam' for sure

Correct!

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

Mansur Ali Khan

Show your actions as brilliantly as I do

'MGR's film Anbe Vaa'

"Sangili-Bungili Open the door"

Enact it properly

Don't blunder

Stone Loves Camphor?

Vasu, we haven't seen any ghost so far

Are you feeling sad you have to vacate this place tomorrow?

Not just this house

Because I have to leave you too

Even I believed your story you know

Shweta!

You thought I cooked it up?

It's true

To prevent this house from being partitioned...

...a man called Sangili Andavan has really sacrificed his life

His brother-in-law wanted to demolish this very same house

He came as a ghost-

And then what? What are you blabbering?

Spirit in high spirits, huh?

Pa, why do-

Shut up

If you listen to his tales, he'll send you

from college straight into kindergarten

Hear me out, sir

Anyway you'll be leaving in the morning

I didn't buy your nonsense about ghosts and ghouls

You're trying to brainwash my daughter and occupy this house

- Nothing of that sort, sir - What then?

Trust me, sir

Listen to m-

- Just watch what I do - Sir, don't do anything

Your father is a real pain

You think Jambu is a dumbo jumbo?

I'll get the spirit out now

'Appa, come and help us guess amma's film'

'Where are you going, pa?'

What nonsense he's coming up with

Ghost in this 21st century, huh?

Don't invite trouble, man

Listen to me

- Dad - Tell him

If I demolish this house will a spirit show up?

Don't challenge the spirit, sir

- Let me see how it will happen - Dad, don't

'Don't mess with the supernatural'

Gawd!

We warned you You never listened

DAI!

'This is my house'

Try breaking it

Vasu

Is this Sangili?

What is happening here?

How dare you call me a ghost!

I can see the light

That's the signal I'll get 1000 bucks

Sangili!

Uncle...uncle

Who is-

'This boy?'

Come, uncle Let's play

Looks like he will make me join his ghost clan

Get lost!

Size of a brinjal and-

Pa, this uncle is hitting me

Is 'he' your father?!

Good lord!

Is he that Sangili's Bungili?

God help me!

Sooranam, let's go this side

Sooranam, where are you going?

- Vasu! - Vasu?

Vasu, save me

- Don't run, save me - I am here, Vasu

- I am Sooranam - Mister, help me

He's lying

Don't believe them

How come they all know our trade-mark gesture?

When did we start our business?

- 25th - Morning

- 10:30 a.m - Thursday

- August - 2010

They know all the details to a T

Check this out

- Sooranam? - Yes, mister

What will you order in a hotel?

- 'Biriyani' - 'Idli'

- String hoppers - 'Vadacurry'

- 'Ravadosa' - Onion pancake

'Parotta!'

Mister!!

'Only my nickname saved me again!'

'Bang on, huh?'

'Great escape!'

Catch me if you can

Divya...Divya

'Give me the ball'

Ma, stop them

She's following Divya

She isn't Divya

Come here

Divya is with me

- Hey Divya - Rasu, wait

Listen to me

Don't go up

That isn't Divya Trust me

I saw her just now

Divya is with Vasu

What are you saying?

- Amma - Divya!

If Divya is here...

...who is that then?

A ghost will take the form of people we know to confuse us

It will even ask us 'Do you think I'm a ghost?'

We should not get confused but be on our guard

Okay

- Don't wander alone - Okay

What are you looking at?

Mother of a cranky kiddo!

Am I a ghost or what?

'Do I look like a ghost?'

'It will even ask us, Do you think I'm a ghost?'

'We should not get confused but be on our guard'

What are you looking for?

Why are you hitting your husband like this?

You think I can't differentiate my husband from a ghost?

You are a ghost

Save me from her

I won't spare you

Wait, he is Jambu sir

His legs are on the floor

I am fully aware of that

But if I let go of this offer, I won't get such a golden chance in this birth

Let me have the pleasure of hitting him, he might escape

Don't spare him Chase the spirit out

Get out of Jambu sir's body

Go...go

Trying to run away, huh?

Come here, all of you

Aiyo! I steer clear of that ball!

'It' is following me

It's really tough

Pigging on those field beans was a bad idea

'This chap?'

Is there no limit to your sense of duty?

'To top it all your black disguise'

'Where on earth did he get that costume?'

Wonder who will save you

- Who are you? - Bunk shop

What timing!

Stand up I meant 'sit down'

Yov! What are you doing here?

- You are really mean - What?

You promised me 1000 bucks to threaten 1 man

That man is threatening 8 people He gets 8000 bucks

Whatever it is he and I should take 50-50

I have spent a lot

- I have an idea - What?

Scare 1 person

I'll pay you 10,000 bucks

Give me your hand You've made my night!

You've made me happy He is dead today

Hey! He is already dead, man

'You are my target, huh?'

'You seem a little blurred'

'A little taller than me'

I'll scare you out of your wits

He has spent a lot on his disguise

He is beyond any fear!

'What are you seeing, man?'

'Do you recognize me?'

'A familiar voice!'

'Anyone hearing your father's voice will be terrified!'

I'll hold you by your neck and strangl-

That was one hell of a devilish slap!

God help me

Aiyo!

This is a real ghost

'He is creeping up to the spirit'

Sshhhh, huh?

'Where is that hiss from?'

She's another crazy koot

Continuing Dumb Charades now of all times

What?

'Kumar Fell on his Tummy'

I haven't heard of a film like that!

She's now into classical dance poses

Is this the time to ask me to wash clothes with you?

Loose!

The film with Loose Mohan as hero?

I got it

Is it Jiiva's 'Mugamoodi'?

I can't stay here

You could have told me-

She's gone

- Vasu - Ma?

Stay here Don't budge

- Careful - I'll be fine

How could you do this?

Uncle

Shweta!

You are the root cause, Vasu

'She said it may be life threatening or fatal'

'I am here for you Don't be scared'

Amma

Ma...?

Amma!

Hurry up, ma

Amma and akka are inside

We'll save them later

Take care of your grandma

What is dad up to?

- You are here - Where did you disappear?

You should have followed me

Mom

Vasu?

What happened?

What's wrong?

Where did you go?

Let's leave this place

- Appa - Hurry up

Just shut up and come

- Come fast - Dad, don't

Sir, don't shut the door

My family has got rid of you and the ghost, 2 in 1 escape

Vasu

Open the door, sir

You were obsessed about this house Enjoy rotting in there

Please open the door At least let my mother out, sir

Why should I add to my sins by separating mother and son?

Premature baby alias immature idiot! What's wrong with you?

After being united for so long, why lock them up?

- Open the door, move aside - You can't open, I say

Try to save yourself if you can

I'm shouting my throat hoarse to save you, sir

I know to take care of myself

Have fun inside

You are the one inside

Move...open

Vanaroja, ask everyone to get into the car

How did I come in here when I was standing outside?

In every family that is united...

...there is bound to be a black sheep to ruin the unity

In this family you are the black sheep

Save me

Aiyo!

Gh...ghost, aiyo!

Where will I hide?

The wretched ghost is dragging him away

I found the key

'Save me'

I can't open the door

'Open the door'

Vasu, save my husband

Watch your step

Hold on to him tight

Shweta, don't let go

Hold tight

'Be careful'

'Don't let go, son'

They are falling

Hold me tight, sir

Shweta, don't let go

Hold tight

Pull...pull harder

- Don't let go - No, I won't, sir

Hold really tight Don't loosen your grip

All of you pull at the same time

Don't let go

Pull with all your might

Pull...pull...some more

I don't want any of you

I want only him Give him to me

I will leave this house for good

You live together as a happy family

Don't let go of him please

Don't dare use our feud against me

I'll come back as a ghost to take revenge on you

I'll wipe out your entire family

Hold on to my hand, sir

I won't let you go, sir

I've led a selfish life thinking only of my wife and kids

But you've been thinking of my family as yours

The atrocious way I treated you...

...I hate myself for my behavior

May you be happy, son

Let go of my hand

What's wrong with you, sir?

How will we be happy sacrificing you?

You save yourself

If both our families should be happy at least one of us should be alive

Let go of me

I won't, sir Listen to me

If I let go of you now...

...the meaning of a happy family will be totally lost, sir

Whatever happens I won't let you die, sir

This fight is between Sangili Andavan and me

Let me see who wins He or me?

Appa, they are not like our family

Let go, pa

They are united now

'Hold tight, dear'

'Don't let go of him, son'

Who is holding you back now?

This ghost-

Vasu

'Oh! My dear'

'Vasu, are you okay?'

'Vasu, because of our unity Sangili decided to leave us in peace'

'I'll buy this house'

'I'll make you stand like a queen in that balcony'

'I'll see you waving bye-bye when I am off to work daily!'

'Subtitled by rekhs assisted by harini'
