Original subtitles

A tall man with a scalp full of hair Gotti Surya Narayana.

That handsome a man is GSN.

Not sure if happiness is the elixir of life or not.

But he believes beauty brings happiness.

Chance's in films and loans from bank would be given only to the handsome guys.

Only handsome hunks would reach the final round in Reality shows.

Truth be told, future of the world is in the hands of the most handsome.

This is GSN's belief beyond a doubt.

Come, sir.

Er... you go.

You came first. You go, sir.

It's okay. Please go.

-Sure? -Yes.

-Thank you, sir. -Come, sir.

Hair cut to GSN is a very private matter.

He won't enter any barber's shop without a proper search & research.

That too, he would never frequent the same saloon twice.

He won't tip too much to be remembered or tip too less to be forgotten!

Shall I trim it real short, sir?

Trim the sides and back. That will do.

1 minute, sir.

Look at him? Does he want me to cut his hair or count it?

[chuckles]

GSN was worried that he will go bald.

Before it could even be confirmed he was bald, the inevitable happened.

[hair dryer whooshing]

One cannot hide anything from a doctor, lawyer or barber.

But next minute after his hair cut the concealment process will commence.

Only one genius recognizes another.

Similarly unless a man with a wig recognizes him, which is rare.

Never been an incident of normal people realizing GSN was wearing a wig.

That's why other than the genius clan.

GSN is Mr.Handsome to all.

NOOTOKKA JILLALA ANDAGADU (The most handsome man in 101 districts.)

[engine starts]

"In the center of Kotagummam, Mr Koti is very handsome."

"In Kathipoodi junction Sattibabu is the handsome man."

"In Tadepalligudem Thathababu is most handsome."

"In the surrounding areas of Rajolu the best looking man is Ramaraju."

"One who beats these men hollow The most handsome man, guess who?"

"Surya Narayana... Surya Narayana."

"Gotti Surya Narayana."

"The most handsome man in 101 districts."

"The most handsome man in 101 districts."

"Gangaraju is a good looker with his curly mop of hair."

"Proud of his beefy muscles Peddi Reddy is Mr Hercules"

"Sporting a mustache for a beginner Nanibabu is quite the charmer"

"6 feet tall Adhisesh too is a smart and savvy dude"

"But his charm would kick aside any other guy. "

" And that's Surya Narayana...Surya Narayana"

"Gotti Surya Narayana"

"The most handsome man in 101 districts."

"The most handsome man in 101 districts."

"The most handsome man in 101 districts."

"The most handsome man in 101 districts."

Right from his childhood GSN loved rainy days.

Bhaskar, Sattipandu and he would make paper boats and play in the canal.

Knowing it was the onset of the south west monsoons in Kerala...

...a train would chug in his heart.

Hey Suri! -Hi dude.

Come on, man.

Bro, why don't you get an umbrella?

'Instead of shielding your head with a file?'

This is my 'rain file'. No important information in it.

Why is a comb stuck in your hair?

It got entangled when I was brushing my hair.

I couldn't take it out. So I just let it be.

Born in the same city. Inhaling the same air.

Eating same food, comma, drinking same water, comma.

The reason behind such difference is, genes.

In Telugu, it is called kharma (ill fate).

I got a call today enquiring about you.

Enquiry?

How much do you earn? What is your character like?

They called after seeing your profile in some matrimony website.

Which matrimony website?

I complimented you, head to toe! Like how you don't splurge.

How respectfully you keep the fair sex at arm's length.

But when they broached the topic of your health.

What's wrong with my health?

That 6 letter word Health... health.

In case your family has had a history of diabetes, blood pressure or heart problem.

I am perfectly healthy.

-Fine! -100% true.

What did I say now? I said they asked me, that's all.

They asked about baldness too.

Hey! Stop the car.

-Sorry, dude. -Stop, I'll take an auto.

All I said was they asked. Why get so mad at me?

-Mom! -[gasps]

I almost died of shock.

And I died of humiliation.

What is this?

I can't see that far.

Want lengthy girl, no beauty necessary.

What is this description?

That's the English I know.

Haven't I told you not to upload my profile in any website, mom?

How will you get any matches then?

They won't...

Unless I create a website Bald Groom Matrimony.com

And upload my profile there I won't get any matches.

If these four letters are present, that is an impediment to marriage.

Bald head.

Hey! Why do you wear that cap even when you're at home?

I've told you a million times, mom, you just don't understand my problem.

If you bring this up once more, I'll move out and live by myself.

Mom, if you had a daughter would you consent to a bald groom?

Didn't I marry your father?

You'll also find someone for you.

You are being too greedy, mom!

When he was in love with Bhargavi, 'love' to him was.

GSN used to think that looks doesn't matter.

From the day GSN considered his hair loss as a big minus.

Not even the love factor...

He had no emotion other than being obsessed that his wig would fall off his head.

[devotional music plays in background]

My dear devotee.

-God! -What is your wish?

Will you grant whatever I ask for?

If you are that doubtful why did you even pray to me?

God... forgive me.

Listen, once I'm committed to something.

I won't even pay heed to my own words!

My dear God!

I want hair, God. Gorgeous thick hair.

The kind that will scare the comb's teeth of breaking while brushing the hair.

The kind of hair, bodybuilders flaunt on YouTube dragging pick-up trucks.

The kind that is strong enough to move mountains.

Grant me such strong, thick, beautiful hair.

Please bail me from this bankruptcy of hair!

Save me from drowning in this sea of baldness, my Lord.

Lord?

Now, tell me, what shall we do?

-God. -Yes, right!

You, too?

Listen, son.

Once you go bald it won't grow back.

My Lord?

You have granted me a boon, right?

I granted you a boon.

Now I grant you a wig!

Put this on and roam around as the most handsome man on earth.

But do not day dream about a head full of hair, GSN.

Lord?

You have come back to bless me with hair, right?

No, I came to take back my chair.

Lord!

Whether you like me or not, it's not my concern.

I'm here to do business.

Not to get awards & rewards from you as 'man with a golden heart'.

Think about it and let me know.

-Hey! Fatso! -Sir?

Get my bag.

-Morning, sir. -Good morning, sir.

Hey! One coffee please.

-Madam, sugar? -One sachet.

Madam!

-Give me two coffee's. -Okay, sir.

-I asked for 2 cups of coffee. -[Hindi] That's what I gave, sir.

-[Hindi] But only 1 sachet sugar? -[Hindi] We are out of sugar, sir.

[Hindi] You expect me to drink it without sugar?

Excuse me, you can have mine.

[Hindi] Look, now madam is forced to drink her coffee without sugar.

[Hindi] I don't take sugar.

[Hindi] I don't drink sugar either.

I just have it with my coffee!

I like my coffee bitter, you can have it.

Thank you!

Sir, bill is 40 rupees.

[Hindi] Hi, my name is Bhaski.

-May I know yours? -Anjali.

Nice name.

-Where are you from? -I am from... Uttar Pradesh.

What brings you to Hyderabad?

I got a job here. I mean, it's not confirmed yet, but almost.

In this company?

My best friend works here as Customer Relationship Manager.

'There he comes.'

-Hey Suri. -Huh?

She's Anjali.

[Telugu] New employee in your office.

What do you think?

How are you?

Ain't she hot is what I meant!

What are you talking?

-He meant 'how are you?' in Telugu. -Oh...

I'm good

[clears throat]

"I spoke to this lady only for you, dear buddy."

-"She's a real cutie this new employee." -Stop it, Bhaski!

"Will you try your luck, Suri?"

-"Worst case scenario she'll fall for you!" -Stop it, man!

"Don't be tense, we can manage, she doesn't know our language."

-"She is born in the north, my friend." -Oh!

If you play in Hindi, I'll also join.

But if you play in Telugu...

-I don't know Telugu. -'Sorry'.

We only play in Telugu.

You can watch us and have fun.

Yeah.

"She looks too good to be frank."

"She seems good heated too."

"Won't a beautiful girl like her already have a boyfriend for sure?"

Isn't this song in a Hindi film too?

-How does it go? -"With the flush of first love besotted."

"Won't a beautiful girl like her already have a boyfriend for sure?"

"So what if she has a guy?"

"One kick and he will fly."

"Will I make her the love of my life?"

"Will she agree to be my wife?"

"Office romance, is it feasible?"

"Is that mission possible?"

"Will she be my soul mate and love?"

"Will she agree to be my wife somehow?"

"No barriers actually."

"Without doubts irrationally why can't you chat her casually."

-Anjali madam. -Huh?

-Boss wants to see you. -What?

-Sir, wants to see you. -Oh!

Thanks for translating.

Welcome!

Come, madam.

-"It won't come off, It won't fall down.." -Hey, leave it!

Careful, my wig will come off!

"No, it won't fall, don't worry at all."

Don't overact.

-She has gone. -Isn't she pretty?

-Yeah. -Hm.

[distant phone rings] [indistinct chatter]

Hi Anjali!

Welcome to 'Bhumi Infra'.

-Thank you, sir. -Sit down...

-Hey, call GSN. -Okay, sir.

Don't call me, 'sir'.

You were my junior in college.

Have you forgotten?

Yeah, how will I forget?

Did you ever think you'll work for me?

Er... I didn't--

Sit down. Anjali! This is GSN.

-Hello. -Our Customer Relationship Manager.

-Your immediate boss. -Hmm.

Just visit the site,

you can start from Monday.

-You can show her our model flat. -Okay, sir.

[Hindi] Come.

[Telugu] I'll take a look at the model flat and go home.

I'll start from Monday, then?

Sure.

Shall we go?

[music]

[indistinct voices]

[elevator beeps]

[elevator stops]

Don't panic.

Power outages, lifts stopping midway all that's pretty common here.

Hmm... I know.

Even I used to live in a High Rise apartment.

-Which floor? -7th floor.

You are the top most woman I know.

-What does that mean? -I live on the 6th floor.

Divya lives on the ground floor.

Bhargavi lives on the 3rd floor.

Girija lives on the 2nd floor.

Among all the girls I know...

...you are top most.

You're funny.

I'm not saying this just because you're my boss.

But you're really funny.

Actually I don't like this boss-subordinate hierarchy.

-We are just colleagues. Huh? -Hm.

[elevator starts] [elevator beeps]

East facing goes for 6900 per sq. ft.

-If West facing we quote 6700. -Um-hm.

Everybody comes here with a reference so we finalize for 6300 per sq. ft.

This is the kitchen.

South-East corner.

For East facing flats they've given a balcony in the South-West corner.

They have given the study in the North-East corner.

Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?

When you said 'they have given' describing each room.

Wondering who 'has given' it sounded funny to me.

West facing is also same plan.

They have given the balcony--

It has a balcony in the North-East corner.

Sorry.

Why didn't it occur to me a person can speak two languages?

[Hindi] Anjali, please come.

-Hi. -[Hindi] Please come. It's okay.

-[Hindi] Come, 'I can give you a ride.' -[groans]

[Hindi] Get in take the rear seat.

-Hi...! -Hi.

-This is my sister Divya. -Hi Anjali.

My sister Divya this is Anjali.

'Hello.'

Where is your phone?

You know I don't use my phone while I am driving, right?

That girl knows Telugu.

Which girl?

Anjali, I was telling them that,

I don't use phone while driving.

'Oh'!

While using the phone our concentration..

I offered her a ride for your sake, talk to her, man.

[phone rings]

-Shyamu. -Which woman knows Telugu?

The lady in the car knows Telugu, will you call your husband and tell him?

-Where is he? -Right next to me.

Then why don't you tell him?

Can you please tell him? I'll explain the issue later.

Okay, fine.

[mobile ringing] Hey!

Call for you, phone is ringing.

[Hindi] My wife is calling me. But I won't answer.

[message tone] Divya, where is your phone?

'Which girl? The girl in the car'

Um... How long has it been since you moved to Hyderabad?

She doesn't know Telugu.

'See?'

"If a boyfriend were in the scene now he would have come to claim his love."

"No harm in giving it a shot."

Dude, make your move.

"Only if she doesn't know your health issue love's door will open wide for you."

She knows Telugu, man.

Really?

You shouldn't have given the game away.

I was enjoying myself thoroughly. [laughs]

Why did she speak in Hindi in the canteen then?

How else would I have known you guys were such bad singers?

"When your breath caressed me all over."

"When love gave me goosebumps to savor."

"You as flute surging in unison I was the 'veena' merging as fusion."

"Dance of divine love in ecstasy."

Tulip.

Orchid.

Marigold.

Daffodil.

Hibiscus and Jasmine.

-Tulip. -Hm.

Tulip, Orchid.

-Daffodil, Marigold. -Oh.

Tulip, Orchid.

-Marigold. -Hibiscus.

Hibiscus, Jasmine.

Tulip, Marigold.

You, young man! Why all flower names?

-Why not any other names? -Like what, sir?

Er... like 'Millet's'.

Of late millet's are a rage, right?

-Do we have that many varieties, sir? -Why not?

For example, look at that.

That's fox tail millet.

Little millet.

Kodo millet.

Barnyard millet.

What about that?

Brown top millet.

-How about that? -Okay.

Where is the club house?

Opposite to Barnyard millet. Er... I mean Hibiscus, sir

That was sweet!

I say...

Actually..

Anjali, can you go and get the brochure please?

I have it already.

Oh! Bring the electrical plan.

-Why do you need the electrical plan? -Just in case.

-Please get it. -Just in case.

-Sir, I'm begging you. -Where are you dragging me?

Don't discuss this around her. You know it's a wig, I know you know!

It is so natural--

Let it be, sir.

That isn't the point.

Look at my wig, isn't it a bit unnatural?

Your wig sits so perfectly well.

-Where did you get it done? -Sattar Bhai in Old city.

I'll even get you a discount, but please don't discuss it here.

-Sir, shall we go? -Yes.

[both laughs]

[laughs]

-Huh? -Huh?

Why were you smiling?

I remembered something that happened in the office.

I wonder what was so funny that you smile just by recollecting it?

All his antics amuse me.

Ravi Prakash?

GSN.

Ah... Gotti Surya Narayana.

-Your colleague? -Hm.

How is your boss?

Do you remember our college days?

Yeah, of course.

How will anyone forget their college days?

And the dates we went on?

-Dates? -Yeah, two.

I thought it was a group get-together...

But when I came there only you showed up.

I didn't want you to feel bad if I left, so I stayed.

That's okay but didn't we go out again?

Ravi, please 3 years have passed.

Okay... okay.

Can I go now?

Can I go?

Are you done?

-Why did you choose this paint? -Customer specified this color.

It will spoil the appearance, right? You can't use this paint.

-Go back to the old one. -Okay, sir.

Are you okay?

-Does it show on my face? -What happened?

What's wrong with this floor plan, tell me?

Where?

Think.

-I don't know. -Think again.

Think like an artist.

Think like a singer.

Like a singer?

-Are the acoustics bad? -No.

Bathroom is in the south-west corner.

Ventilator opens into the corridor.

So...?

People can hear you sing.

So what?

-You sing in the..? -[chuckles] Hm.

Whose songs?

Naturally SPB sir.

"The moon bent slightly with partiality"

"to the side of the star with affinity"

"Petite jasmine too moved excitedly towards"

"the evergreen mango tree"

"Priya... Priya, looking at my face"

"The entire garden was in a daze captured by love's magic haze"

"Every night is spring ever so dazzling"

[humming]

'Madam, it's ready.'

How could you be so careless?

Just a few droplets can't be that bad.

I might catch a cold.

Huh? For only a few droplets?

Then how do you shower daily?

I'll hold an umbrella.

[chuckles]

It was nice talking to you.

I was having a bad day.

But picturing you under the shower. It got much better!

"My name is 'Pauper' I am a desert wanderer"

"My journey is what my heart likes I leave the place if it dislikes"

"I am just a tramp, a wanderer"

[song from the film 'Sri Rajeswari Vilas Coffee Club']

"My name is Pauper"

Well, if it brightens your day you can think of me in the shower anytime.

-Sounds yucky. -Yeah?

GSN sir, what if someone actually hears you sing?

You don't sing that badly?

I don't like sharing my voice free of charge!

I can make millions if I sing in a concert, okay?

Wow! What confidence!

I must warn you about something.

Very easily I make friends with people who make me laugh.

-Keep this in mind. -I must warn you about something too.

What is that?

I make my friends laugh a lot more.

Do you only make your friends laugh?

Everyone is a friend to me.

It's been 4 years since I spoke to someone like this.

Whom did you talk to 4 years ago?

I had a friend called Bhargavi.

Girlfriend, huh?

Way back then..

What happened?

We wanted to get married.

-And she did! -Bhargavi...

...must be a very unlucky girl.

Going to Toli Chowki or somewhere else?

Why do you ask?

I'm going to Toli Chowki, so, wanted to check if you needed a lift?

"Did a koel nestle in my heat's alcove?"

"Did she sing many a song on love?"

"In my heart so true did she kindle desires a new?"

"Lovely girlfriend"

"Did that butterfly flit?"

"Taking a liking immensely did the butterfly sit on me?"

"Did she paint my pupils black?"

"Crazy girlfriend"

"Has my room small and confined extended like the sky redefined?"

"Did the wind blow with force to sink me in the sandalwood scent?"

"Did the entire sea fit in just a half spoon?"

"My girlfriend"

"My girlfriend"

"My girlfriend"

"My girlfriend"

"Like a bottle of scent with its lid opened"

"Like the festival of lights dispelling darkness of nights"

"Like our flag on August 15th waving"

"Girl, I rapture"

"Did the picket fence all around us bend and break in our laughing bliss?"

"Did the slender jasmine creeper walk along with me now and forever?"

"Did peace of mind of the purest kind waft into my life to give all that I pined?"

"My girlfriend"

"My girlfriend"

"My girlfriend"

"My girlfriend"

-'How much is this, sir? -Rs 1,00,000, sir.'

-'This one? -Rs 1,35,000.'

-'What about this one? -That is... 1,75,000.'

Typically how many grafts would a patient need?

It depends on the extent of hair loss.

I mean... if almost...

What if he is totally bald?

I have to see the patient to give you an estimate.

I am the patient, doctor.

You have a head full of hair.

-Not possible. -Doctor?

You are not a suitable candidate for hair transplantation.

Why so?

-Your donor area is very thin. -What does that mean?

Hair has to be plucked from back to transplant in front, right?

-Go ahead. -Nothing there to pluck!

Then can you pluck it from anywhere else in the body?

Hair from your root chakra?

Won't look good on your crown chakra.

In that case...

Can we get a donor?

If that was only possible, no rich man in this world will ever be bald!

No poor man would have hair.

Everyone has their own hair.

Then what should I do, doctor?

This wig looks pretty good.

Continue with it.

I'm not interested.

The material you used is not what was promised.

What does it matter if I get this damn flat or not?

-Sir, listen to me. -What insolence!

Thanks to all these clients I've lost all my hair!

If you were to go bald it would have happened by now.

You don't think I will ever go bald?

No chance. You groom your hair so well.

Same hair style everyday.

And you never have a bad hair day.

Did your father also have such thick hair?

-He was completely bald. -Really?

Listen...

-When do you intend to tell her? -Tell her what?

How do I tell her, mom?

-Wonder what she'll say. -Think it over.

When the moment is right, may be.

'It may be too late.'

When the question pops up 'why didn't you confess earlier?'

...you won't have an easy answer.

It is a tough call to justify why GSN did not confess earlier.

But GSN found it even more tough to find an answer for how to confess.

In 2 months how close Anjali has moved towards him.

Even though on one side the urge to confide in Anjali was very strong.

He thought the better option was to hide it from her.

If no gap in the relationship is priority, must confess.

If truth not told should maintain the distance.

What's up, GSN? You look upset.

-Work is a little stressful.-Such is city life!

And Sattipandu calls to say he's fed up of Kakinada.

Sattipandu called you?

Ages since we spoke, how is he doing?

He wanted to check with me if I can find him a job in Hyderabad.

I said it isn't that easy.

He says 'you'll do it for Suri won't you find one for me?'

Whatever! I spoke to Mr Murthy.

He said he would tell your boss. If your boss asks, put in a good word.

-For Sattipandu? -Hm.

-In my office? -Yes.

I'll take care of it.

Sattipandu has an overdose of humor.

His jokes will make your mind wince in pain.

Like a thorn pricking your heart, like a slap on your face.

Like a swift blow deafening your ear.

If he joins GSN's office..?

Sattipandu! Switch off the fan.

Is it messing up your hair?

You can comb it back in place.

If you find it a hassle give it to me.

I'll brush it for you and bring it back.

-GSN, coming for lunch? -You go ahead.

Aren't you hungry?

He refused not because he wasn't hungry...

But because he has no hair!

Come. [laughs]

How sad! Ants may feast on you. [people laughing]

Go home and shower. Scrub it away with detergent.

[laughing]

[message tone rings]

[phone chimps]

[clock ticking]

[phone chimps]

[cuckoo bird coos]

[footsteps approaching]

Good morning.

Morning.

Do you have any work in Toli Chowki today?

[clicks tongue]

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Sir...

-Ravi Prakash sir wants to see you.-I'm coming.

Someone by name Satyanarayana.

He's good with Tally software too.

Looks like a good candidate for our accountant's position.

He has given your reference.

What do you say?

'Hello?'

-No, sir. -What do you mean 'no'?

-I don't think he will fit in here, sir. -Okay.

What happened?

I'm not happy here.

Trouble with the boss?

You act weird too.

You don't even tell me what's wrong.

Sorry.

-Please accept my apology. -It's okay.

I have some work in Toli Chowki this evening, what shall we do?

I have some work in Kondapur, then?

-I'll come with you. -But you have work in Toli Chowki?

My work is wherever you are.

What work?

Can I buy you dinner?

-I'm not coming. -Come on, you're the top most girl I know.

Also the busiest!

Please...

Not possible today.

How about Sunday dinner at my place?

-Your place? -Yes.

We have a family get-together.

All my cousins will be there.

All of you will speak Hindi and I'll feel left out.

My dad's side is Telugu.

-He chose a North Indian girl? -Huh?

Are you choosing a North Indian meal for me?

Whatever you want.

You'll come only when you have an event to attend?

What is the occasion now?

Dinner.

Maintenance is important, sir.

You should maintain your wig just like your natural hair.

I'm main... maintaining.

How do you say that, sir?

Last I saw you was when the film 'Dabangg' was released.

[Hindi] Clips have become loose, don't worry, I'll fix it.

[Hindi] Wait here for 15 minutes.

Fifteen?

-Fits perfectly! -Won't come off, right?

Has it ever come off?

Once Sattar Bhai does his job you can forget about it.

-Thank you, Sattar Bhai. -Welcome, boss.

Don't you say a prayer before every meal?

My mom is a decent cook!

[Hindi] Son, don't you speak Hindi at all?

Hindi... I do.

[Hindi] I Varanasi gone...

I Bodhgaya... gone.

I bargained in Hindi too.

Now my amma, Varanasi...

going.

My mother's older sister.

-Had. -Has?

Accompanied her.

In a week they will,

will reverse!

-They will return back. -It is return.

-Eat everything, dear. -Hello, Sattar Bhai.

-Left your clip behind. -What is left with you?

The clip to be fixed at the back of the wig.

By mistake they are with me.

[Hindi] You forgot... what?

What... where?

The clips which are to be fixed at the back of your wig are with me!

-With you there? -Let me talk.

Let me talk. Tell me, sir.

The clips which are to be fixed at the back of your wig are here mistakenly.

-Okay, fine. -Do you get it?

Some clip at the back it seems,

it has been left behind with him.

Okay.

[gasps]

-Who was that on the phone? -[chuckles]

A little while ago, my bike wasn't giving enough mileage.

I asked the mechanic to overhaul, check and change the oil.

He left the clip behind.

Why is your hair looking funny today?

I rode my bike real fast, right?

The wind blew so strong,

messed up my hair.

But, uncle.

You are coming this way...

Wind is blowing this way.

Then hair in front should be messed up, right?

-'Why at the back?' -True, eh?

Actually I forgot the way,

so I had to take an U-turn and come back all the way.

That's why hair at the back of my head got messed up.

Even if you take an U-turn...

'...your bike moves only forward, right?'

Actually it should move forward.

But because clips weren't put back in place,

these mechanics are a real pain!

-Real pain in the neck. -Okay... okay.

Topic closed, okay?

How is my 'baingan bharta'(eggplant curry)?

'Bharta' tasty, 'Parata' softy.

I have to rush to the bathroom.

-Are you okay? -I'm okay.

Why half way through dinner?

Some things don't stop for anyone.

Which 'something' is bothering you now?

The 'thing' is... bathroom!

'I mean... actually.'

'Bathroom' is a funny usage.

When we feel sleepy, we don't say 'I need to use the bedroom.'

If hungry, we can't say 'I need to use the kitchen.'

When I need to relieve myself I can say 'I need to use the bathroom.'

Only the word 'bathroom' has that flexibility

Please tell me the way to your bathroom.

That way.

Have you watched 'moon walk'?

You mean Michael Jackson's dance step.

Big deal! He is not that good.

-I'll show you how it is done, watch me. -Ah.

I can't come now, Sattar Bhai.

Then come tomorrow.

But the wig has come off now.

What is the use of coming tomorrow?

Listen to me carefully, the clip is with me.

I will fix it for you whenever you come here.

Or tell me where to send it.

Send it to my grave.

Send me the GPS location of your grave!

GSN?

-Are you okay? -Yes... yes, okay.

What are you doing?

What will I do in a bathroom? 'Bathroom!'

I'm using the loo.

GSN...

'Will you open the door please?'

I won't.

How much longer?

We had an eclipse the other day.

I didn't wash my hair.

I need to do it now I'll be out in a while.

Why should you shower now?

That's how it is give me 2 minutes.

I showered, I had better get going now.

-Go where? -Won't you eat with us?

No, I... I have to go.

-Why? -That's how it is.

I usually fast after an eclipse.

I'll take leave, sir.

Huh?

[doorbell rings]

[doorbell rings continuously]

[door latch rattles open]

-Hi-- -Hi!

Can I come in?

-Mom, isn't home. -It's okay.

I said my mother isn't home.

What's wrong with you? Why are you acting so weird?

I just wanted you to meet my parents casually.

Why get so stressed out for no reason?

Of course I'll be stressed out!

I'm sorry...

It's okay.

Why are you wearing a cap at home?

[chuckles] Look how that question popped up, you found out, huh?

What does that mean?

It is a social experiment.

What happened to you?

'Why are you using perfume?'

'Why are you wearing a pant or shirt?' Did you ask me these questions?

But you specifically asked about my cap.

[chuckles] That's the funny part.

Naturally, I've never seen you with a cap.

Now you are wearing one won't I be curious?

[chuckles in confusion]

People will be curious if a man wears a cap suddenly.

So used to seeing him with a cap and one day he is cap less...

They will ask him where is your cap today?

People caw-caw like crows I am from Kakinada!

Sorry...

I shouldn't have invited you so soon to come home for dinner.

I didn't think you would have such a bad nervous breakdown.

-Come. -[grunts]

-Come on! -Hey!

-What's your problem? -I might lose it.

-Lose what? -My job.

I'll lose my job.

'Inappropriate friendship in workplace can cost one his job,'

R. Venkatram Subbarao has said so.

-Who is he? -Look?

He lost his job, so no one knows him.

If he had been still working he would've become world famous.

It's a stupid job anyway.

-What's with this cap? -[gasps] Don't bring it up.

'Don't harp on my cap.'

Our freedom fighters, like Nehru or Subash Chandra Bose...

Other than Mahatma Gandhi everyone wore caps, you know?

It is my firm belief wearing a cap is a part of our Indian culture and tradition.

Coming to sports...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni Or Virat.

They wear helmets for fast bowling but wear caps when spinners take over..

Now take our Gods for example.

They can cast a spell and create gold, that's why they wear crowns.

Otherwise even Gods prefer caps.

I don't understand your social experiments.

Listen... I feel like having an ice cream.

-Shall we go now? -You go...

Call me and I will see you in 20 minutes.

-Just come! -Anjali.

-Don't make a fuss. -Anjali!!

[music]

This breeze reminds me of a song.

Which one?

"If this breeze lifts me high how wonderful will it be to fly?"

[singing a song from the film Vedam]

[laughs] Oh no!

Isn't it a lovely song?

What was sung within four walls of a studio.

You shouldn't sing here in public. Let's go home please.

Enjoy this cool breeze. Why do you want to be stuck at home?

[sharp inhale]

Lets enjoy the scent of our soil before it rains.

I don't enjoy wind and rain at all.

How unromantic!

What do you enjoy then?

Huh?

Sunlight!

'I enjoy sunlight.'

Why are you taking off on a tangent not paying attention to what I'm saying?

Let me tell you something.

First let me tell you.

-I want to tell you first. -I've already told you.

I invited you home for dinner,

I went out with you for an ice cream.

What does it mean?

-You don't have.. -An Ice cream at home!

Thanks to your poor jokes matters have escalated to this point.

To what point?

GSN, I don't know how to din it into your head.

I love you!

Didn't you realize even after I introduced to my parents?

"I see your image in my eyes, my dear"

"Rhythm of your music in my eyelids I hear"

"I'll wink and then hold you tight I don't care for time, day or night"

[song from 'Abhilasha']

"I'll drink your curves sensuous"

"Eureka! Found you, my precious"

"Scented bouquet of jasmine"

"I like that girlfriend of mine"

-Tell me why you are hitting me? -What do you want me to say?

Yow! Sattar!

Do you have any clue what damage you've caused?

I've bought a flat on the 18th floor.

Let me ask you this out of blissful ignorance...

What good are you, if your wig can't stand a little breeze?

Did you fix clips to my wig or wings instead?

18th floor, huh? You said ground floor.

You should have been precise.

1st floor to 5th floor something like 'Swapna Lok' towers.

I fix 2 clips to the wig,

6 to 10.

Burugula Ramakrishna Bhavan,

Telecom building.

I fix 3 clips.

11th floor to 15th floor, Babukhan towers.

Then I fasten the wig with 3 big clips and 2 small clips.

For 15th and above floors,

I fix 4 big clips and 2 small clips.

You don't need any clips at the basement.

But to be on the safe side I still use 2 clips.

If you had a customer who wants to visit the Burj Khalifa,

how many clips will you fix on that wig?

No hair at all,

-I'll just make the wig with clips alone. -Hey!

Are you pulling a fast one on me?

You, for selling a wig to me,

that man, for selling me a flat on the 18th floor.

I'll drag you both to Consumer court,

I'll sure squeeze you both into the biggest pile of bagasse!.

-Sattar Bhai... -What do you want?

Came off, huh? Naturally it will.

A wig is bound to come off.

You can't keep God-given hair on your head for 25 years.

-How will you keep a man made wig? -Sattar Bhai,

-relax... -You want me to relax?

Look how ruthlessly he hit me.

Oh no! He hit you on both sides, huh?

He hit on one side,

the other side is the 'Kashmiri paan' I am chewing which spilled over!

He wants me to make a wig for him.

Instead of clip I'll fix spring in his wig.

Not just the balcony,

even in his bathroom he should have a hair-raising experience!

Sattar Bhai, don't talk like that.

I have come here with a lot of hopes.

My shop is closed now.

Let me go, it has been a very bad day for me.

Sattar Bhai... Sattar Bhai.

Look! I am warning you.

Sattar Bhai, God-given hair fell from our scalp.

And you are a godsend.

If not for you in our life,

...bald men like me have nowhere else to go.

We are artists,

Work is worship.

We arrange each strand so carefully so no one should guess it's a wig.

We have emotions too.

Is this the way to treat us?

Sattar Bhai...

I have come this close, Sattar Bhai.

-Girlfriend matter? -Um.

[Hindi] Fine, collect it after 2 hours.

[Telugu] Two hours?

Are you okay if it comes off again?

No, make it sturdy.

Then go.

Thank you.

Sattar Bhai, thank you.

See you.

GSN felt he had been wrong not to share his secret with Anjali.

Early next morning, he texted his secret in WhatsApp to her.

Not only that...

'A picture is worth 1000 words,'

he even sent her a picture without his wig.

After the 2 messages were delivered,

he no longer felt guilty.

So immediately he deleted both his messages.

Because Anjali woke up late,

he continued his love track with his usual daily greeting to her.

-Hi. -Is GSN home, uncle?

Come in, dear I'll call him.

[music]

Are you angry?

You said he makes you laugh?

I can't stand him anymore.

Serves him right if I yank the wig off his head.

Anjali...

He hurt me a lot, dad.

You are hurt because of your expectations from him.

If love is unconditional there should be no expectations.

What is it now?

You don't find me attractive now, is that it?

I don't find liars attractive at all.

I did not lie.

May be I hid the truth!

This topic never came up between us, right?

Okay, fine,

but we spoke a lot.

And it never occurred to you whatever you were doing was unfair?

I don't understand why.

Because I was blinded by hope, Anjali.

Does it mean you can deceive me?

-Deception? -Then what?

You wore a wig to be friends with me.

That isn't true at all.

I started wearing a wig much before I knew you.

Difference is you befriended someone who wore a wig!

Whenever you go to the market or get in a local bus...

...how do you feel when riff-raffs lech at you?

I feel like hitting them with my sandal.

See?

We feel the same way too.

While talking, not one person looks us in the eye.

They look at our scalp.

Cover up all you want, GSN.

I can't look at such a liar's face ever again in my life.

Even if I had told you the truth you wouldn't have looked at my face.

[door opens]

You got delayed?

Bhaskar and Shyamala had come over.

'Do you hear me?'

Killer, you'll break hearts!

Good morning.

[phone rings]

[keyboard clicks]

Anjali, good morning.

I won't be coming to work for 2 days.

Why bother telling me?

Just wanted to let you know.

You can do whatever you want.

"Moon light beyond my fantasy thanks only to you I was able to see"

"I hugged tight to the wings of love I flew with delight in the skies above"

"You shattered my dreams suddenly You abandoned me completely"

"Without an iota of bliss Why behave like this?"

What are you tense about?

About the mortgage, sir.

Why are you tense?

-For this girl, sir. -Oh!

"You gave me a taste of serenity Then you discarded me"

"Are you taking all the light with you?"

"All I have is the dark path I am used to"

"Without happiness why behave like this?"

"Every word you spoke to me I believed it to be true truly"

"Sweetheart, you tricked me so cleverly"

"After seeing with my own eyes you expect me to swallow your lies?"

"You opened my eyes to reality, made me wise"

"To swirl around, you brought darkness"

"Oh night! Don't ask for moon's brightness"

"If you push yourself into quicksand by poking your eyes with your hand"

"Can you blame me now? How is it fair... how?"

You told me only four of them will come.

How would I know, mom? I thought 'family' is usually four.

I did not think they would be four uncles and four aunts!

Is that your father on that wall?

No, sir.

My father's photo! [all laughing]

You have a head full of hair even though your father is bald.

Thanks, sir.

Our dad was bald as a billiard ball.

All of us lost our hair by the time we were 30 years old.

Bald genes are usually inherited from the father.

Be careful, son.

That isn't true, sir.

Turned out true in our case.

Maybe it did in your case but doesn't hold good for everyone.

A little bit of maintenance...

...is all that is needed.

I mean there are a few tricks.

Why don't you share those tricks with us?

We won't compete with you!

[chuckles]

Just maintenance, that's all.

'What sort of maintenance? Can't you elaborate?'

Hey GSN, tell them.

Once...

I had been to Kasi,

I met a seer there.

His hair touched his knees!

If he had the time he would plait his hair,

otherwise just tie it up in a knot.

I went up to him and asked, what is the secret of your crowning glory?

He laughed like this once.

After that he said...

GSN, somehow I like you very much.

And he shared his beauty secrets with me.

I am following it to the T.

-Sounds good. -You're a lucky man.

Want to talk in private with your bride-to-be?

What's there to talk now?

Then we can shake hands to formalize this alliance.

Bro...

If you don't mind will you share that secret with me too?

Why Niranjan? You aren't going bald.

Bro, I am having terrible hair loss.

-May be another time. -Please, bro.

I'm becoming like my dad and uncles.

-Look at them. -'That's right.'

From this angle don't their heads look like boiled eggs on a stove?

-Bald is beautiful too! -Rubbish!

Typical words from a man with naturally thick hair!

I tried all kinds of remedies, bro.

From Bhringraj herbal oil to Dr Khadar Vali's millet diet.

Nothing works.

My hair loss is so bad it blocks the drain after I shower.

My hair keeps falling, look!

Here.

-What do I do? -Okay... relax.

-You must somehow help me, bro. -Calm down...

Come with me I will tell you.

-You know this betel leaf, right? -Yeah!

Betel leaf from Ponnur is okay But Kolkata is even better.

-True, Bengalis don't go bald at all. -Yes.

Take half a dozen betel leaves in the palm of your hand.

-Okay. -Then take camphor,

-mix sesame oil. -Okay.

Then take the soot from kerosene lamps and mix it.

And then?

What a silly question! Make a paste and apply it.

-On my head? -Wherever you have hair loss!

-What dosage? -More generous better the growth.

You have nothing to worry about hereafter, okay?

Thank you so much, bro.

-Welcome. -I will do this...

Thank you so much. See you.

"It was truth under wraps, however did I want to hide it forever?"

"Fear of rejection made me wear this wig surreptitiously"

"Every time I set eyes on you was the first time so new"

"That very minute I swear truth vanished into thin air"

"If the eyelid wants to quarrel with its own eye's pupil"

"Nothing can be more unjust than that very thought."

We must close the sales of 30 apartments.

By end of next month if we sell all the apartments..

and hand them over by the year end.

We'll be the most trusted builder in this town.

"My mind, independent so fiercely won't you please listen to me?"

"Won't you listen to the feeling embedded in my heart and reeling?"

"O' mind, won't you listen to me?"

"Listen to what my heart says truly"

What do you say, CRM?

Can be done, sir.

Let us send out a message that 'we are sold out'.

If anyone calls to enquire just say apartments are all sold.

It will make potential buyers more interested for sure.

That's a bit risky, sir.

"Won't you please listen to me?"

"Won't you listen, dear?"

"Won't you lend me your ear?"

You will sell anything by lying glibly, huh?

Anjali, don't look at my hair please.

Hair?

Oh! Yeah... yeah.

It wasn't deliberate.

I was wondering how all these days I couldn't tell it is just a wig.

Anjali, let's not discuss this topic here, please.

Oh! It has to be kept a secret, right?

Careful, your cover will be blown I might have been oblivious!

But if you look closely it is quite obvious.

TV: Hey Rohit, what is your opinion on GSN's hair style?

-That's a wig -Really?

Why didn't you tell me all these days?

Looks so unnatural,

I thought you knew.

If you are still doubtful ask the 3rd empire.

Why was GSN's wig kept a secret all this while?

Come on, brother-in-law,Wig or gig, it is our internal issue.

-Why should it affect you? -True... very true.

You are too much.

GSN made a mental list of guests identifying his wig in Divya's wedding.

Guests from Gopisetty and Inturi won't know.

Invitees from Challapalli won't come Not invited the people in Ainavarapu.

GSN had only this thought in his mind that night.

Is there anyone else?

Sattipandu!

We haven't invited Sattipandu.

How can we forget him?

You think an invitation in WhatsApp will do?

Shall we do this?

Let's make a list of our invitees.

Then we can call them all at once, huh?

But first will you get me a bottle of water?

-Are you thirsty, huh? -I need a shower!

Fine, I will be back.

-Give me your phone before you go. -What for?

-To click a snap of wedding invitation. -Okay, here it is.

[music]

[phone keypad tone]

[humming]

Whom are you calling?

Sattipandu.

How will a WhatsApp invitation be enough?

[phone vibrates]

Hey, what's up?

Why do you sound so listless?

I'm at work.

What work?

Whatever work Sattipandu usually does.

-Divya is getting married. -Really?

Congratulations, dude.

-You must attend without fail. -Don't think I can,

I have a lot going on here.

What is going on?

Whatever Sattipandu usually has going on.

Hey! I'm inviting you for my sister's wedding.

You are acting pricey and being so rude.

You have to come.

-I'm saying he can't come! -Hey!

Who is he?

I meant... I can't come.

Hold on.

'Talk to GSN.'

You tell him.

Ah... hello.

Oh no!

Ah? [clicks tongue]

Really?

Oh no!

He has too many deadlines it seems.

My foot!

What are these deadlines you can only share with GSN and not me?

How many times should I repeat the same to how many people?

A single dose won't do, you need a double dose.

Wait, I'll add GSN in a conference call.

-Talk... talk. -Hm.

Do you think I will be scared?

I'll add him in a con-call.

Now tell me, are you attending the wedding or not?

Hey! Tell me now why you won't come?

I told you just now.

I'm also listening tell both of us.

How can you not attend Divya's wedding?

You send me a virtual invitation My presence will be virtual too.

I'll punch you on your face.

Wait, Bhaski. Let me handle this.

Sattipandu, try your level best.

I understand if you really can't make it despite your best efforts.

But try your best to come, okay?

Are you on my team or his?

You have to come, he isn't buying your excuses.

-Even if you've work give this priority. -Hey! Hey!

-Let me do it myself. -Hey!

You take his side instead of supporting me.

Get lost!

Hello, I grabbed the phone from him, speak now.

How can I when you have grabbed my phone?

Are you coming or not?

Yes, but on 1 condition.

He is convinced now.

-Is it? -What is it?

What is the condition?

Hello?

Come on, tell me!

You shouldn't call and hassle me again.

All we wanted to do was invite you and you're making such a fuss.

I said I will come, right?

Okay, see you.

Bye.

I nailed him.

He agreed, has no choice!

Congratulations.

-Ramulu! -Yes, madam?

Have you finished the work in the hall?

-Anjali! -Yes, madam. Now I am handling this.

-Hi! -Hi!

What brings you here?

[Hindi] My sister is getting married.

Er... you know Telugu, right?

[Telugu] Divya asked me to invite you repeatedly.

Invite repeatedly?

She repeatedly asked me to invite you.

That's all. Will you please attend?

Where is GSN?

[wedding percussion's]

-Hello, how are you? -Yes.

-Attend to those guests. -My mother is taking care.

-Namaste! -Greetings.

-Welcome. -Hello!

-Namaste! -How are you, son?

-Hey! Uncle. -Hey, it's uncle,

-Our uncle from Attili. -Was your trip comfortable?

Hey

Hey!

Suri!...

-Hi-- -Hi, don't leave without having dinner.

Nice arrangements, sir.

-Hey, Suri! -[gasps]

-Satti-- -Sir?

-See you, sir. -Yes, fine.

Why aren't you in touch with me these days?

-Did you check out the dinner spread? -Forget about that.

-Guess who I ran into earlier? -Who?

Bhargavi... remember her?

Of course you will remember her.

Bhargavi, come.

'Sattipandu, I'm coming.'

Don't hit on her now, she is married.

Suryam...

How are you?

-I'm good, how about you? -Umm.

I thought you would attend my wedding.

This is my husband.

-Haven't I told you about Surya? -Who?

-Suryam! -Oh! Hi Suryam.

-How are you? -Hello, sir.

What else?

Bhaskar is inside the function hall. Did you meet him yet?

We just got here. What's the hurry?

Right.

-Will you be here? -Yes, I'll be here.

I'll go wish the couple and come back then.

We can eat together.

-See you -Coming?

-You go ahead. -Wait for me here.

-Be here, I'll be back. -Hm.

He had thick curly hair when they got married.

Now he's gone completely bald. [laughs]

But listen,

your hair was thinning when I last saw you.

-Now it has become-- -Hey!

He has gone bald. My hair line has receded.

And you have a pot belly. Why get into all that now?

Oho! You've become very short tempered these days.

-Hi, sir. -Who?

-Hi, sir. How are you? -How are you? Hi!

-Hi. -'Hello, Prakash Rao.'

-'Come, sir.' -Coming.

Hi.

-Juice. -No, thanks.

Thanks for gracing this occasion.

Good evening.

Er... this is my friend Sattipandu.

Hi.

Oh my goodness! That's your secret.

I thought you'll still be missing Bhargavi!

Now I know why you don't.

-It isn't what you think. -Stop kidding me.

-You! -Don't curse me.

I'm your childhood friend.

-Fine. Go, meet Bhaskar first. -So you can vanish into thin air again?

I need a shower, right? I have a room upstairs.

-What is the room number? -Bhaskar's room is 412.

-Not his, tell me yours. -Mine is 5... 205.

-Two hundred and five? -I don't know numbers in Telugu.

I know numbers even in Hindi! [Hindi] 205.

Come back soon.

-We have to eat together. -Okay, go.

[wedding percussion's] [camera captures]

[camera captures]

[mobile keypad tone]

[phone rings]

Pain in the neck!

-Hello? -Hey! Where are you?

Someone else opened the door in 205, dude.

You went to 205?

I think you heard it wrong, I didn't told you 205 is my number.

I'm starving, I'm in the dining area.

-Come down soon. -I'll be there in 5 minutes.

Hello! It's okay, come.

All of us are GSN's friends.

Please join us.

Eat with us please.

GSN promised to join us.

Bloody fellow! Lied to me about his room number.

Hey! Does GSN ever lie?

You would have heard it wrong.

Don't support him too much.

He is king Harischandra who never lies and you are..

She and GSN are childhood friends.

She won't let anyone deride him.

He never lies, huh?

Do you remember when GSN's dad passed away.

If he had got above 60% in his under graduation.

He would have got his father's job, remember?

True, he fell short by 11 marks.

Remember you got him a forged certificate too.

How can I forget that?

I spent Rs 4000 to get it. Though he repaid me.

But he didn't have the guts to go through with it.

Otherwise he would be having a cushy Govt. job now.

It isn't a question of guts,

he didn't want to lie.

'That's true.'

'My glasses! I can't see without them.'

And I can't see with them on. Am I complaining?

I went to room number 502 also, I looked in that entire floor.

I searched the 4th floor too.

How can he not be around when the marriage function is going on?

Shouldn't he be here?

Hi, sir.

-Hi. -My wife and I.

We are the bride's brother's friends.

I remember, I was introduced to you both on the stage.

-And you? -I'm not here for the wedding.

-Did you eat? -Yes.

They mistook my husband for the groom's family and treated us royally.

-Okay. -You know...

-Even outsiders can be bald! -Yes.

-It isn't the copyright of your family. -Um.

You don't have to go bald

Take 4 betel leaves from Calcutta.

Press it firmly in the palm of your hand.

Add powdered camphor to it.

Apply it to your head, magic remedy, no worries.

'Hair will grow back?'

Are you blind?

Oh gawd! Surya?

Suri...?

Surya!

I caught you.

How long will we search like this?

It must be here, mom.

Ask him.

Excuse me.

-Excuse me. -Yes, what can I do for you?

We are here to attend Divya and Niranjan's wedding.

-Do you know where dinner is served? -Straight and turn left.

Your 'straight' is my back.

Your left is my right.

Should we go your straight and turn left?

Or go back and turn right?

Sir, the earth is round any which way is fine.

I'm confused, sir.

Can you look at my face and tell me?

You need directions, right? Why should I look at your face for that?

Crazy man!

-Thank you, -Let's go, mom.

-Have a nice day, sir. -Excuse me.

-Yes, sir? -I was locked inside the room.

-Key is outside. -You aren't in your room.

You're locked outside, sir. The key is inside.

Whatever!

Tell me your room number, sir.

-It's 502. -Your name?

GSN... Gotti Surya Narayana.

ID card please.

-What? -ID card, sir.

It must be inside the room.

If I have to give you a spare key, ID card is a must, sir.

I'm locked out of my room. I'm standing in a bath robe, where will I pull an ID card?

-One minute, sir. -What is the problem?

He got locked out of his room...

He must have given his ID proof when he checked in, right?

-Cross check and give him the key. -Okay, sir.

-Sorry for the inconvenience, sir. -No problem.

Sorry, sir, this isn't your ID.

That is my ID.

No, sir, this man looks very different.

It is the same man!

The man in this photo looks very different, sir.

That man is me for God's sake.

-He is somewhat -Somewhat what?

His hair is somewhat... thicker, sir.

I had hair when the photo was taken and then I lost it later.

We would have noticed when you checked in, sir.

-No, sir. -[whistles]

No, sir.

Come closer. [music mutes chat]

-What about your glasses? -Those are mine.

How dare you!

Why did you steal my glasses?

I would not under ordinary circumstances, sir.

But in extra ordinary circumstances sometimes I behave abnormally.

What are you talking?

Sorry, sir, I cannot give the keys.

I'm so sorry, sir.

There is some misunderstanding please.

This is Bhaskar's room key.

Why don't you go in I'll get your key card.

Go.

[wedding percussion's]

I got it.

[laughs]

That's the reason.

Reason for?

Never mind.

Anjali...

Can I drop you?

-No, it's okay. -It's not a problem at all.

Actually I'm going with GSN.

[music]

Bye.

Do you want to come in?

Thank you.

It isn't really that big a problem, GSN.

So many bald people out there are absolutely happy with themselves.

Why is it that only you have a problem?

They seem very happy.

Laughing their heads off!

Cracking jokes.

It is always better to joke about ourselves before somebody else does.

To compensate for the way they look.

People develop a sense of humor.

Painting or singing.

What all people do for acceptance!

Why do you care about other's acceptance?

Why don't you accept yourself first?

How do you propose I accept myself?

Take that wig off.

This is like a piece of clothing for me.

Just like a shirt or pair of trousers.

This covers a part of my body

and protects my dignity.

-I can't take it off. -I must tell you this, believe me or not.

You really look handsome without a wig.

I don't believe you!

It's the truth. With or without a wig...

I don't care. I want you to be happy, that's all I care about.

Only if you take it off, I think you'll be truly happy.

Tough.

Can you please try?

No one else is here.

Try it once.

-You will laugh at me. -No, I won't. Promise.

I don't have the guts to do it.

I love you.

Yeah, I love you.

I love you too.

Look into my eyes.

Hey...!

Look into my eyes.

You are so adorable you know?

Will you marry me?

Will you marry me?

100%.

Our ritual of 'jeelakarra bellam' may slide off my head!

Doesn't matter.

[music]

[laughing]

[doorbell rings]

Hey GSN, wait.

Hey! GSN, hold on.

GSN, wait.

GSN, hold on.

[Hindi] Who are you?

GSN!

GSN.

GSN!

[slaps] [gasps]

GSN...

GSN!

GSN, wait!

GSN, sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You want me to accept this too?

What you did is unacceptable, mom.

I hate his guts!

Not guts, mom. It's fear.

You know how he struggled to muster enough courage to take his wig off?

His trust hardly lasted 10 minutes.

He'll never be bold enough to try it again in his life.

Listen, he is a liar.

What would you have done if I became bald after we got married?

It's different after marriage.

Earlier you told me you like him a lot.

That was earlier. But not now.

I love him now.

What are you saying? You want to marry that bald chap?

Yes, he is the only man I will get married to.

[phone rings]

Won't you talk to me?

What's there to talk?

Don't you have nothing?

If you have something to say, go ahead.

Only about work.

After you left yesterday my mother and I fought.

Did she slap you too?

She wouldn't have.

You look pretty good.

I'm sorry.

Hear me out, please.

My mother is very fond of you.

It was 5 star hospitality with a wig. Now I am as unwanted as a pig!

Hmph!

Sir wants to see you.

Good morning, Anjali.

-Good morning. -Sit down.

My mother liked you very much, Anjali.

-Shall we get married? -What?

It's a simple question.

Ravi, this is... harassment.

How can you mistake true love for harassment?

I can't take this anymore.

Anjali.

I'm quitting.

Anjali.

[keyboard clicks]

GSN...

Bye.

[desk bell rings]

Sir?

Haven't I told you to come as soon as I ring the bell?

I was a little far away, sir.

Not far, you are fat!

If you got trouble with all that extra flab why don't you join a gym and lose weight?

Lazy fellow! I want everyone assembled in the conference room in 10 minutes.

Tell them it is a sales meeting.

What the hell?

What, CRM?

Sir?

You spoke of some new strategy. No updates on it as yet.

We intended to meet again and discuss the idea, sir.

But we never met again.

Implying it is my fault?

Sir.

Tell me, GSN, how many deals have you closed in the last 6 weeks?

Very few, sir.

Let me tell all of you right now.

Next week on our anniversary day we should have sold all the apartments.

Sure, sir.

Hey, Sattipandu called.

'He is going back tonight. He said he'll drop by to meet you.'

Oh God! Couldn't you have told him it is a bad time?

Listen...

Relax and chit chat with him.

Or he will do the talking and you just listen.

Easy for him to do the talking, ma? He sells insurance for a living.

His wife has a secure job. He inherited a bungalow from his father.

Life isn't that easy for me, mom.

If I don't get 1 month's salary, I won't know how we'll make ends meet.

Is work too stressful, dear?

Blame it all on work.

How is it any better here?

Do we own a house? At least an empty plot of land?

Dad couldn't even send me to a decent college.

He left us nothing.

I would have quit that job long ago.

As if he wanted me to remember him by something...

He left me this.

You think you can do better?

Let's see if you can leave your children cute curly locks.

You can only pass on what was passed on to you.

Whatever was passed on to us we passed on to you.

If you have nothing but bald genes to pass on, why have children, mom?

I've failed as a mother.

No matter what life served us we faced it cheerfully.

Our parents taught us that courage.

We couldn't teach you the same spirit.

That breaks my heart.

[sobs]

[doorbell rings]

[door latch rattles open]

What's up?

I'm taking the midnight bus back.

I wanted to say hello to your mother before I leave.

Hey Satti, my boy. Did you had dinner?

It's okay, I just wanted to say hello.

Don't be ridiculous. Freshen up I will serve you dinner

Oh no! I don't need dinner, just a glass of buttermilk will do.

How is your wife doing?

Of late her health hasn't been good.

[both] What's wrong with her?

She had a cyst in her ovaries.

-Oh no! -We were both really scared.

I wanted to get a job in Hyderabad and bring her here.

Health care is much better here.

Suryam and Bhaskar are here to help me, right?

You should have brought her here. Why do you need a job for that?

'Aren't we all here to take care of you both?'

She is trying out homeopathy...

If she doesn't improve we'll see what to do next.

[vehicles honking]

-Hey... -Hm.

We can work things out.

I know so many people here in Hyderabad.

I can set you up some where.

That's alright dude.

I swear.

-I know a lot of people here. -Hm.

[vehicle arriving] 'Kakinada! Kakinada!'

'Passenger to Kakinada, get in.'

-'Let me check your seat number?' -Hey!

Won't you forgive me?

We were such close friends.

You think if you lose your hair, we will stop being friends?

-Love you, dude. -Love you too.

-Come to Kakinada. -Get in, sir.

It will be dawn here by the time you get in.

If we are delayed, you will yell at us.

Bro, wheels on the move!

"O' wanderer, exhausted"

"Which direction are you headed?"

"Kindly stop for a second"

"This legacy of my life"

"Stirring chaos and strife"

"With apprehension stepping in your direction"

"Stealing your dreams in essence"

"Pushing even friendship into a furnace"

"In your memories lurking"

"Emptying the light within"

"Enveloped by darkness's she-demon"

"Disregarding you."

"One who is upset and disappointed"

"Enveloped by darkness's she-demon"

"Disregarding you."

-Hi, sir. I am calling from Bhumi Infra. -It is too far,

-so I don't want. -It's a 3 bedroom flat, sir.

Hey! Why were you late today?

I was... at the site.

Shall we go out for lunch?

I ate, you go ahead.

"Giving up his normal existence daily"

"He fooled himself, pretended duly in a confused mind, like this at sea"

"Steering towards shyness always wearing a mask to conceal his face"

"He walked without any conviction randomly in no specific direction"

"His buddies parted from him"

Sorry, sir, some other client wants to buy that flat.

Er... I can't hold it, sir.

Client will be here by 11 o'clock.

I'll be there sharp 10'o clock.

"O' traveler, crossing this boundary"

"Won't you know this path in your life mirrors..."

"...your mistakes causing you strife?"

"Don't you know 'O' wanderer, exhausted"

"Which direction are you headed?"

"Kindly stop for a second"

"Don't you know 'O' wanderer, exhausted"

"Which direction are you headed?"

"Please stop for a second"

[camera captures] [cheering]

-Hey, hi! -Congratulations!

Thank you.

-Got your head tonsured in Tirupati? -I finally got the courage, bro.

-What do you mean? -[chuckles]

Shall I tell them?

If I tonsured my head now...

I was worried my hair won't grow back.

I am no longer scared

Thanks to my beautiful wife.

What magic did she do?

You tell him.

I'm dark skinned I got it from my mother.

If I don't feel beautiful with my own skin...

...isn't it as good as thinking my mother is ugly?

Will anyone seek beauty in one's own mother? Tell me.

That's all I had to say. [chuckles]

"Late in the evening as I was walking"

"A weird combination took over me of exhaustion and victory"

"It is a kind of fun daily to destroy this feeling in me"

"If the unexpected happens, be clear stand tall without any fear"

"You must walk steadily put your best foot forward readily"

-Congratulations! -"Peep into your heart"

"You will see your shortcoming"

"With waves of destiny highs & lows in this journey"

"Cross to reach your shore of safety"

My mother wasn't expecting to see you.

In that moment of shock she didn't know how to react.

"Please stop for a second"

I've got a good job offer in Gurgaon.

I am wondering whether I should accept it or not. [song plays in background]

"Kindly stop for a second"

[Hindi] Give me a straight answer.

Otherwise you'll get a tight slap from me

Speak up!

What will you do going to Gurgoan?

I'll work, that's all.

When are you getting married?

Can't I be married and have a decent job?

It doesn't work out that way.

It worked out for dad.

[notification tone rings]

[notification tone rings]

Sir.

I got a call from the firm in Gurgaon about Anjali's new job.

They are doing a background check.

'They wanted to speak to the CRM of our firm.'

I'll connect the call.

Give them a negative feedback.

Hello, Mr Duggal.

Talk to our Customer Relationship Manager.

Mr Duggal, this is GSN.

Anjali...er!

[Hindi] She is a wonderful person.

She is always very cheerful and extremely patient.

She is our lucky charm.

She is so Large hearted.

Magnanimous.

She is a very diligent worker.

Whoever hires her is very lucky.

Whoever doesn't is very unlucky.

You are very lucky.

This is my honest feedback.

Thank you.

Sorry, sir. Somehow I didn't feel like lying today.

Anyway he wouldn't have understood whatever you spoke now!

I'm dark complexioned I got it from my mother.

Whatever hardship we had to face we were always cheerful.

My parents infused that courage in me.

We failed to give you that courage I think.

You think if you lose your hair we will stop being friends?

Will you marry me?

A big thank you to all of you here.

Especially to the staff of Bhumi Infra.

I feel a bit awkward doing this.

First I should thank my mother.

Mom.

My parents raised me facing a lot of hardship.

Sent me to college and worked hard to give me the best life they could.

But I always felt they haven't done enough.

My dad in particular.

More than thanking my parents

I think I should..

Mom?

I'm sorry.

Dad...

I'm sorry.

[crowd] GSN sir is bald, huh?

He somehow managed to hide it brilliantly.

This is my... real face.

And to show this face to you all...

...was somehow very embarrassing.

I would have been okay with running naked on the streets.

But without this...

I won't step out of my house. Not even for 5 minutes.

Actually I wanted to be considered good looking by others so badly.

Not once did I felt I was good looking within myself.

I always felt something was missing.

When I was a kid, many people complimented me all the time...

Their words 'So cute' still ring in my ears.

I preferred the clean shaven look because I took the hair on my head for granted.

After losing my hair I realize its value,

I starting sporting this mustache and beard.

Basically I wasn't satisfied unless until I had facial hair to feel good.

I don't know why.

'If we are short, we are compared to an eggplant.'

'If tall, then a snake gourd.'

If fat compared to a pumpkin.

If dark they will emphasize on 'really dark.'

I could have easily blamed the societal standards for beauty.

But I realized...

Problem isn't with the society.

Problem is within me.

I kept telling myself...

Whenever I looked into the mirror that I wasn't good looking.

If someone complimented me on my looks.

I would immediately distance myself from them.

I couldn't digest the fact they believed what I did not believe about myself...

I couldn't accept it whole heartedly.

I have many people in my life who love me for what I am, the real me

They are fine with me being fat.

With me being skinny. With me being bald.

And even with me wearing a wig they accepted me 100%.

If I still think I need a wig.

I am being disrespectful to these people.

Why look for validation from others, about out beauty?

Being fat, thin, fair,

all these are facts.

Looking good is an opinion.

Just a point of view, that's all.

I am bald is a fact.

Whether I look good or not...

...is an opinion.

Let me say this once and for all.

I look good the way I am.

I look cute' even now.

[humming a song from 'Sagara Sangamam']

Today GSN's head felt lighter by 100 kilos.

His heartfelt strengthened with the might of 1000 elephants.

He misconstrued the words Beauty is happiness personified.

Beauty lies in being happy,

realized the lyricist actually meant.

Whatever it is, from today GSN is the most handsome man.

And the happiest person!

"The most handsome man in 101 districts"

Anjali!

Anjali!

-"The most handsome man in 101 districts" -Anjali!

Anjali!

Anjali!

Anjali!

It didn't come off. I took it off myself.

I thought so.

Going away to Gurgoan, huh?

You were the one who asked me to go.

-Is the pay good? -Hm.

-Do they deduct tax at source? -Hmm...

GST?

Is there a GSN over there?

[both laughs]

-Do you want me to come with you? -Huh?

[chuckles] Hmm...

"Burden on my head somehow seems to have reduced now"

"For the first time in my life my mind is free without strife"

"Only now it dawned on me beauty lies in being happy"

"That's why today may be my glasses gleamed with clarity"

"If you can jump over the picket fence you erect in ignorance or self defense"

"Whoever he is he will come across"

"Most handsome man he is in all the 101 districts "

"Most handsome man he is in all the 101 districts"

"My eyes blurred and misty now crystal clear can see"

"My heart celebrated joyously the festival of colors, Holi"

"Why should an outsider notice the beauty embedded within us?"

"If we laugh out loud without hesitation beauty will be stunned by our validation"

"If we shrug away the shroud covering our heart and mind"

"Whoever he is he will be lauded as"

"Most handsome man he is in all the 101 districts"

"Most handsome man he is in all the 101 districts"

"The most handsome man in 101 districts"

"Most handsome man he is in all the 101 districts"

"Most handsome man he is in all the 101 districts"
