Original subtitles

'Our Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi...'

'...keeping village development in mind'

'...has announced procedures for local elections in villages and districts'

'Local body elections as well as municipal elections will be held'

'As informed by the Election Commissioner'

Whatever it is, Panchayat's family will be elected as our village leader

Who will even think of contesting our Rajamanickam?

What's in your mind, dear?

Why are you hesitating?

From our father's time...

...someone from our family is the village head

It seems an election will decide the Panchayat head this time

Yes

My husband wanted me to ask you if this time he can contest instead

Did I speak out of turn, brother?

Not at all, dear

Kayavarnam

Ask my brother-in-law to stand

Even if we were born from the same womb...

...a brother wouldn't have been so magnanimous!

What are you saying, idiot?

Though our mothers are different we share the same father, right?

'You are asking me a favor when you're pregnant'

'How can I refuse you?'

Sir, you know very well about your brother-in-law

The entire village also knows

5 villages are now grouped into 1 Panchayat

If you stand in the election, no one will have the guts to oppose you

But if your sister's husband stands...

...all 5 villages will contest just for the heck of it

Votes will get split

If our neighboring village wins...

...we will be under their mercy if we need to mediate any issue

Think about it

He is also justified

You or your father did not ask for this title as village head

This village conferred it on you

You're the only heir to the Panchayat's family

If you yourself should feel the hands should change...

...I don't think it's right

I told my entire village I am standing in this election

Now you come here and ask me to step down

Is it fair?

I asked you And you agreed

You knew the pros and cons when you nodded your head

It was wrong on my part

I couldn't say no to my sister

If my entire village is against it...

...what can I do?

So more than your sister's life...

...what the villagers feel is important to you?

Brother-in-law?

Don't call me 'machan'

Disgusting to hear it

Actually you are power-mad

And you are pretending you care for your sister

Machan, listen to me

Only this village is under your control

There are 4 more villages

I will prove my clout to you

Machan...?

'Caste your vote to 'spectacles' symbol

(canvassing for votes)

'In the local body elections conducted recently...'

'...candidate Rajamanickam has won against his opponent Murugaiyan'

'...with a margin of 600 votes'

'He made you a widow He left you all alone'

(funeral lament song)

Stop it

STOP IT!

If only you had said 'no' I wouldn't be a widow

You gave your word when I came to your house

And now you've come here to cremate my husband

Aren't you ashamed?

If I had been your real sister would you have done this?

Your wish was fulfilled?

You made me a widow!

All because of your wavering mind I am now alone with a baby to raise

I swear I'll bring you and your family to the streets distraught and demented

Otherwise I'm an illegitimate child!

Go

GO AWAY

I've left, pa

Come, pa

I've come out now

I'll be back

He is really upset we'll drift apart

I won't feel bad it is our last day of college life

I swear!

Get off me, please

I swear I won't

If you feel too much your intestines will hang out

Saravana...your girl

She is here

Get off me

Move...get off my back

Hi Shuba

Look at me

Shuba, what happened?

Tell me what's wrong

Will we meet again?

Or is this goodbye?

I am so tense

Nutcase!

Why do you feel this way?

What's gone wrong?

Sorry, da

Looks like your girl is very upset

Shall we start our treatment?

Get lost!

Okay, enjoy

Don't get perturbed for no reason

First go home and ask your people to come and meet my family formally

Only when my brother gets married...

...I can even broach this topic

When will your brother ever get married?

They will dump me on someone else by then

Then you can end up...

...only as my mistress!

Scumbag! Get lost

Here I am sharing my worry

I have full faith in my brother

"Let's begin with our feet tapping Don't stand aloof, just join in"

"Time will not rise to the bait for you to lock your life and wait"

"Let's start with our hands clapping Don't stand alone, just join in"

"Time will not let you lock or turn back the clock"

"Look at the blue cerulean sky The cottony clouds fleet and fly"

"Clouds can't be tied down or clamped to the ground"

"Life's mooring may you find without wasting your time"

"Time will not rise to the bait for you to lock your life and wait"

Junior

Move aside

- Junior? - Yes, father?

What do you intend doing next?

Chartered accountancy

At least you study and prove a teacher's son is not a nitwit

That will make me feel proud

Otherwise if I call myself a teacher quite a few people will ridicule me

Even if I didn't study I'm also a teacher

He nurtures his students with lessons

I nourish my grains with fertilizers and nurse them

Am I not a teacher too?

Of course

Tell him

I've seen plenty of this kind of play on words

They are all roaming around jobless

He will be a sensitive man, only if you add enough salt when you cook rice

I have enough of it

Dump it on people who are thick-skinned

Listen

Short temper is his forte

Why haven't you eaten?

Vetri, he has walked off in a huff

Not to worry, he'll go upto the porch and back

You go on this 'tit for tat' spree

What do you want me to do?

He wanted me to study

What is the use of just wishing?

Our astrologer Subramani told us long ago

Even if Saraswathy, Goddess of knowledge teaches you better than your father...

...it won't enter your skull

So what do you infer from this?

You never told me this!

Education and I are as far as Pluto from Earth!

Indeed

It isn't as if academics alone can decide a man's intelligence

You know the difference

Senior, you are an entrepreneur

Even you know the difference

But some creatures-

He wants 2 'dosas' it seems

If this man goes to buy vegetables this will only be the outcome

Either stale or shriveled

The vendors know he can be duped as soon as they see him

Ma...?

Where is my brother?

He left early in the morning

So early...where?

To the shop

Even your father takes his own sweet time and goes to school only at 9:00 a.m

But he will leave at the stroke of 6

'Work is worship' for him

He seems to be going overboard on his worship

What can you see in my horoscope?

'I can see everything'

What is in store for me?

Your horoscope shows no hope

No hope at all

Yes, man

Malefic effects of Saturn is sitting in your house and listening to a folk song

Folk song?

Yes

You mean it has entered my life?

Saturn thinks you are living with it already

What's wrong with these 'planets'?

When there are so many houses to enter, why choose only mine?

Only Saturn, huh?

From the 3rd house planet Rahu is peeping in

You were bang on

His name is not Rahu

His name is Raghu!

Don't look at him

He's already looking at us

Look at me

How is my wife?

If you are the driver of a rented car will you say 'no' to any passenger?

He turns them down

He wakes up a driver sleeping next to him

Sends him instead and keeps ogling and drooling

How will he go?

Too many lines make a scowl on his forehead!

It's against destiny, no?

Why not?

Sun is peeping from the 5th house

"Half saree with flowers printed dances delightfully intoxicated"

I didn't know his name is Sun

I don't know him from Adam

I don't even know where he is from

But he wakes up and makes a beeline here

He wears jazzy shirts Each day a new color

And ogles at her with intense ardor

"My princess"

Even Jupiter, that is, Guru in Tamil is looking from the 9th house

You're a hopeless astrologer His full name is Gurumurthy

Look at him

He looks like a piece of firewood swept in a flood, strong and sturdy

Kneading that dough, he is showing off his Cupid-antics

I am being saved by sheer God's grace

You seem to be in a real soup

I miscalculated that a young wife will take good care of me in my old age

I spent all the money I earned and performed a grand wedding

But these jobless jerks not spending a single paisa...

...are dying to have a ball with her

How do I prevent them from achieving their goal?

I have a solution

If Moon, that is, Chandran in Tamil stays in your own house...

...all your problems will be solved

Thank God! When will he come?

He is ready right now

I don't get it

I am Chandran

Jayachandran

The moment you give the green signal...

...I can gladly perform the 'house warming' ceremony

When shall I move in?

Right now?

There are already 3 jerks ogling at my wife

Are you making a foursome!

I just wanted to protect you

Does a country egg need a snake as security guard?!

Good at making up proverbs

When it comes to making out you are really bad!

Othaasai

Did you see Vetri?

Vetri-

Where has he gone?

Must have gone to learn

Learn what?

Even if he is like king Karna in giving whatever anyone asks...

...in learning, he is the disciple of the learned Abdul Kalam

Which seed to plough where?

Which fertilizer for which seedling?

He keeps learning more tips in the job he loves wholeheartedly

Like father, like son!

Let me ask you upfront

What's happening? You look so different from your usual self

You mean my attire?

I went regarding that farmland in Tanjor-

Stop right there

Othaasai already told me a story

You don't come up with a new one and waste my time

Tell me the truth

It's a small accident

Accident?

You are travelling in a bus

Someone stamps your foot in the crowded bus

What will you do?

I'll hit him till his ears ring!

But I couldn't react like that

Why?

Because-

Sorry, I didn't see

What happened?

I stamped his foot

Sorry

Hasn't she apologized to you repeatedly?

Then why are you staring daggers at her?

Am I staring? Blind or what?

I didn't have space

So I accidentally stamped on your foot

It doesn't hurt

I didn't know

I swear on my mother

Stamp my foot again It won't pain

Come on, stamp

Please stamp on my foot again

She stamped on my foot and imprinted love in my heart

Vetri, am I hearing you right?

Poetry

Love, my dear bro

It entered my body, mind and soul

Then...?

Then within an hour I changed myself

I stood before her in a new avatar!

I must give this sand for testing

- Can I go in? - Sure

Don't you remember me?

Bus, foot, sorry

Oh! I already apologized to you

Sand...research

If you go straight and turn left you'll reach a 'counter'

Give it in that department

'Gounder' as in caste...?

Madam...madam

Please stop

Which department are you in?

Hello

Do you want details about the sand or me?

In my town, 100 acres of land has been scorched and destroyed

To salvage it, I was helpless and didn't know whom to meet

I heaved a huge sigh of relief after meeting you

Okay

If you have any doubts ask at the front desk

They will help you

Front desk...?

When I talk, you no middle talk!

I tell HOD

- Hey! Jaggery-head - Vetri anna?

Just a minute

All boys get out of the class

Get out of the class

How is it you are here?

I work as lab attendant here

But what is this new disguise?

Hey...!

As if love at first sight is possible if someone stamps your foot!

I didn't mean that

Life will be happier if you don't fall in love or get married

Look at me

How happy I am

You won't listen to me

But that madam is very well educated

You can't hold a candle to her education

I think you've already made up your mind

She's a research scholar in organic farming

Ecological farming

No one can meet her that easily

Only fertilizer shop owners will meet her regularly and take her advice

I'm sure you started a fertilizer shop the next week

The very next day!

- Show them that too - Okay, I will

Good morning, madam

Madam...madam...madam

- What do you want? - I've started a new fertilizer shop

I knew you won't believe me So I've brought photos of my shop

Please walk a little slower

Rented a shop yesterday, purchased fertilizers yesterday

And opened it yesterday too

Got the license also, madam

Only you and I can save my village soil

That's why I took this sudden decision

Hey Janani, ma'am wants you

Janani...?

"Janani, Janani You are my world, in harmony"

Is it your ringtone now?

Things we do for love!

Othaasai has the keys Open the shop

- What happened then? - What happened, huh?

She made me sit and spoke pages and pages!

Any crop needs 16 types of nutrients

Urea, potassium that you sprinkle

Potassium, how much ever you sprinkle...

...will provide only 3 nutrients

But Vernicompost is completely different from this

Earthworm waste

- Earthworm, I know it very well - That's right, okay

It will provide all 16 nutrients-

Is that all?

Listen, sir

I've shared all that I have learnt

Try to think

Maybe you forgot something

From all that I said, you can do a green revolution in your town!

Enough, please

You exhausted your quota

You would've immediately taken useless Othaasai along, right?

You catch on as quick as camphor!

But do you know how I took him?

Did anyone make you lie on your stomach and iron you?

- You told me to be stiff - Stiff like this?!

How dare you raise your hand?

I don't need your friendship

Leave me out

Please...please...please

Don't go

Can you touch a landlord?

Take your hands off me

Please don't bring the roof down

Step back

I'm here to help you

Not the other way around

Get that into your head?

If you bring someone to assist you...

...you must soft pedal

Don't shout

He's ignoring a landlord!

Sorry

Sir is the most influential zamindar from my village

I explained to him verbatim what you told me

But I believe he didn't get it

If you brief him, it will be awesome

What...?

For sir to cultivate groundnut in 200 acres of land

200...?

Don't get flustered, sir

We'll check later about the 300 acres in the north

300...?

Don't try to stuff it all at the same time

Let's find out how to cultivate peanuts

How can I grow peanuts?

Please explain

If you explain to me, I'll tell him clearly

Meenakshi madam, your blouse is ready

You can collect it this evening along with your sample blouse

Don't spoil my business That lady owes me 40 bucks

Will you go to a different shop?

What...?

This is zamindar speaking

- What's my name? - That's very important now

I'm a very important landlord here

Listen to me

I'm 300 acre landlord here

300+200

- Blown it - 500 acre zamindar speaking!

"Hey girl! I lose myself completely Looking at you continuously"

"Unconditionally"

"This whole 6 feet of me bent backwards totally"

"Your scent besieges my senses daily"

"Like a mad elephant it assaults me"

"Love, your inviting side glance twirls a wheel in my heart at once"

"Hey lass! I liquefy headily Looking at you steadily"

"Beautifully"

"This whole 6 feet of me surrendered to you totally"

Good morning, madam

Good lord!

"With your love, why do you feed me till I choke and cough endlessly?"

"With your eyes expressive you lasso a rope so possessive"

"With your torso addictive you hit on me excessive"

"Not moving even a nano-second you kindle a fire within so constant"

"I see you wherever I go daily Like a spirit, your image haunts me"

"You grabbed me forever Nailed my heart in your favor"

"Hey lass! I yield totally Looking at you untiringly"

Watch out! You might fall

"When I think of you I get bold and brazen too"

"I am like a lamp's wick I turn into dawn double quick"

"Though I can talk 19 to the dozen you make me speechless 24x7"

- Why don't you eat with me? - With pleasure

'Adiboli'

- It's 'adipoli'...fantastic! - Oh! Is that so?

"Inflicted in my mind somehow On the whole like a mother's love"

"You are mine alluringly Why did you disturb me?"

"Hey my love-ly!"

"I relent readily Looking at you steadily"

"In your favor"

"This 6 feet of me forever fell for you hook, line and sinker"

"Your scent besieges my senses daily"

"Like a mad elephant it makes me dizzy"

"Love, your inviting side glance whirls a wheel in my heart at once"

'I am stuck between a rock and a hard place'

'I want to bare my soul to you And then I hesitate!'

'I feel like spending the rest of my life with you'

You could've sent her that message, right?

Missed a golden opportunity, Vetri

You're both getting along fine now Then what's the problem?

Started with soil and fertilizer and went up to chatting in Malayalam

When it comes to revealing what's in my heart-

Stop

Which century are you in?

If you like a girl, all you got to do is propose and keep moving

What's all this?

Okay, I'll profess my love

But what if she denies feeling the same way?

How can you not tell her how you feel?

For how long?

I don't know

I've lived an entire life with her in these few days I've known her

I've built a temple in my heart I don't wish to destroy it

I'll be happy even if I continue like this

Okay, come

- I want to meet her - For what?

She is my sister-in-law

She will be the eldest daughter-in-law of our house

As your brother shouldn't I meet her?

Then what, Vetri?

She isn't expressing her feelings and you aren't planning to either

Give me your phone I'll talk to her myself

It can't be done all of a sudden

It will happen all in good time

Until then I'll continue to love

In your dreams!

To think I had full faith in you

My love is gone

Everything is gone with the wind!

Are you also in love? Congratulations!

Shut up

Do you know how happy I was when you said you are in love?

I thought I'll combine my love with yours as 1 package at home!

You let me down

Is she your classmate?

At least have you expressed your love?

As if I'll be like you!

I did all that a long time ago

She's very strong

Okay, forget that

Where is she from?

Wanting to meet her right now is asking for too much

Why shouldn't I meet her?

Why not?

Why should you?

She is my sister-in-law

She is the daughter-in-law of our house

As your brother shouldn't I meet her?

Hear me out

If you meet her and some problem crops up, the entire town will gang up

Do you know who her father is?

Our President

He's only the village-head

Not president of India, right?

Vetri anna

What, my dear boys?

We are organizing a cricket match

Last year you came before the game started

You've come with a pamphlet this year

Did some sponsor fall into your trap?

How can you say this, bro?

So sure you'll agree, we took the liberty of naming you as our sponsor

In the end you are making me fall into your trap!

Only next month, right? Come and collect it tomorrow

Bye brother

I've opened my shop but no sign of a cup of tea

- Bro, how about a cup of tea? - Not in the mood for it

To sip a glass of tea, do you need to be in the right mood?

I'm not so finicky

I don't believe in that word!

'Even if you do nothing happens!'

Idiot! Blabbers all the time

At least can you buy me tea?

Be quiet, Othaasai I'm not in the mood either

'You too?'

You asked for tea, right?

Shall we drink tea?

He is in the tea-mood now

Vaadamalli, get my shirt, quick

Before his mood changes!

Where are you going?

Murthy will come now He'll open the shop

You keep an eye We'll go drink tea

Vaadamalli, don't bother making tea

I'll go to the nearest tea-stall

- Shall we go? - Sure

Gawd! These lazy louts

When the cat's away these rowdy rats will play!

Please stop

What's wrong with you?

You gave me the shirt

But did you get the key?

Come in...come in

Just because I asked you to buy me tea why are you taking me for a ride?!

Do you see that town over there?

Tea is damn good there it seems

You drink that tea and come back after 2 days

Let me get down

Will you zip your lips?

Past 4 years I've zipped my lips!

What are you saying?

That's why those louts are ogling at her!

Now you got it, drop me back home

- If I drop you? - I'll be the savior!

And then...?

Don't keep asking questions

Will you zip your lips?!

I've never been to this tea stall

Is there a tea shop in this huge bungalow?

How do they manage to pay the rent?

It's too crowded, let's go to some other tea stall

We didn't come here to drink tea

We are 'seeing' a girl

Check out a girl?

My brother has fallen in love with the girl who lives here

So I wanted to know more about her

At least today behave like a big shot

When did I claim that?

Please drop me back home

You'll anyway sit at home with your lips zipped!

'Aiyo! Don't hit me'

'Leave me, sir'

'It hurts'

'I won't do this again'

I hear a lot of raised voices Has someone passed away?

Not yet, might happen soon!

Why is he saying this?

Boys from the next village teased our girls traveling by bus

That's why our President is beating them up black and blue

Where did he go? He won't stay in one place

Oh! He is here

Some stranger ogled at his daughter!

And this man is beating him to a pulp

You are walking into the lion's den to check out his daughter

If he gets to know this you'll be dead meat!

Don't be silly

- Please be scared - I can't

Please fear the unknown

Whom do you want to meet?

President of this village

That's my husband

Please wait He is busy right now

'Bloody scumbags!'

How dare you tease our girls?

- Get up - Forgive us, sir

If you make fun of our girls, I'll bury you alive, beware!

Why invite me for all this?

We celebrate it in a small way usually

But this year we wanted to invite a bigwig as chief guest

All the 32 villages suggested your name

Is that what they said?

'That's what they say'

I'm not a big shot at all

I do my best

Would you like to drink something?

Nothing for me

But he loves drinking tea

Bring 2 cups of tea, dear

'Look where you've brought me for a cup of tea!'

At least I'm getting it here, right?

By the way, who's this elderly gentleman?

Othaasai

I can see he is here to help you

But what's his name?

True to his name he is very helpful

His name is Othaasai

Why is he memorizing my name?

So that he doesn't forget you!

Masala...masala tea

- How is my brother's selection? - Too good

Tea in our house always tastes good

Would you like 1 more glass?

No, thank you, sir

You are stating the obvious while he is oblivious to it!

Zip your lips and drink it up!

Thanks

Tea is fantastic

Okay, then-

We'll take leave, sir

Definitely

Will you definitely come?

For sure, Othaasai

'My name is registered in his head'

'In Manmatha year, 3rd week of May'

'Arul, son of Kayavarnam who resides in Naatuchalai village'

'Latha, daughter of Mr Rangaiyan residing in the same village'

'Marriage is officially fixed by the elders of both families'

'Uncles of the bride and groom, please exchange the trousseau plates'

In spite of the family feud does he give up his bond?

That's why he's respected!

Stop right there

Who invited you with a golden platter?

You lack propriety and you're here as mere protocol

Kayavarnam...! How can you be rude-

I resent him with all my heart

Please don't interfere

You want to get into the good books of the villagers?

Or to ask me to keep your daughter as mistress?

You waited all these years to ask if your daughter can marry my son?

Not only me

No one from a good family will ask for your daughter's hand

There will be men waiting to get married 2nd and 3rd time

Go and ask them

First get out of here

We cut our ties long ago because of her nature

Why did you go there again?

I told him not to go

Don't I know her true colors?

As if she has suddenly turned over a new leaf!

I went there only because his father isn't alive

Because I gave her my word in haste...

...I've been patient till now

She has every right to malign me

But she has no right to deride my daughter

Neither is she qualified

Find a good groom for my daughter

Before her son gets married...

...I must get my daughter married in style

Okay?

- Sumathi? - What?

My sister has delivered a baby

I'm going home this evening

2 people will be coming here from Orathanadu

Give this list to them

A person by name Rajendran will come

Give him this sample bottle

Looks like you will be away for long

I'll be away for 10 days

Is that so?

Got an A4 sheet?

Yes

Have you informed Vetri?

No, I'll tell him after I reach home

One will do

That's better

Otherwise he will follow you

He is crazy

Oho! What about you?

Shut up!

I know what's brewing

Both of you got your feelings bottled up right inside

And laying it on thick?

No build up at all

Shall I tell you something?

Call Vetri today and profess your love to him

Then go home

After you've expressed your love, unable to meet him for 10 days...

...that's a special feeling, you know

Only when the wife goes to visit her parents...

...can the husband eat his favorite food

Are you sure she is at her place?

I went and dropped her

In her mother's place

Her father was there too

What about the 4 'planets' revolving around her?!

'The number you have dialed is busy with another person'

'Please try after some days!'

Othaasai, finish your lunch

They will have a feast before I finish my lunch!

"Janani, Janani You are my world, in harmony"

Yes, madam

Are you free? Can I talk now?

I was just feeding the cattle

Oh! Shall I call later?

The buffalo ran away just now refusing to eat!

I'm all ears Tell me now

I need to talk to you

Go ahead

Can you guess my thoughts?

Is it about the book I bought 'How to learn Malayalam in 30 days'?

That's really tough

Not that

About the new crop of seeds?

Not that either

About the Vermicompost

What else can it be?

Such a block head! Mud between his ears

Yes...yes, about the mud

You asked me to test that mud

I forgot

How do I explain?

You've stopped your soil research?

Can you understand?

I said I wanted to talk to you

That's why I said I am all ears

This isn't something I can share over the phone

I need to talk face to face

If I had known earlier I would have come at once

When and where?

We'll meet at 6:00 p.m

"On tenterhooks I thought When will she open her heart?"

"Yes or no, what will it be? What will she tell me?"

"Losing my mind, I thought When will she open her heart?"

"Drizzles in my mind always Thoughts drenched in rain sprays"

"Mixture of fear and melancholy my heart beats for her only"

"Agitated, I wander aimlessly"

"Heart in my mouth I wait vulnerably"

"Excited, I wander aimlessly"

"Jumpy and jittery I wait helplessly"

"Yes or no, what will it be? What will she tell me?"

"On tenterhooks and distraught When will she open her heart?"

"Yes or no, what will it be? What will she tell me?"

"On tenterhooks I thought When will she open her heart?"

"Drizzles in my mind always Thoughts drenched in rain sprays"

"Mixture of fear and melancholy my heart beats for her only"

"Agitated, I wander aimlessly"

"Heart in my mouth I wait helplessly"

Don't spill

I told you not to spill

You yelled at me In that jerk, it spilt over

I've been watching you for quite sometime

You seem to be in a strange mood?

What is that supposed to mean?

You're talking to yourself and smiling without a reason

You're suddenly feeling shy

Where did all this come from?

Hey! My first born!

You're hiding something from your mother

Out with it

I'll tell you when it is okay

Tell me right now

Aren't you the first person I tell always of my eventful life?

Of course

Go

See you

What happened?

What has upset you now?

Subha called

Some problem it seems

She wanted me to come over at once

What's the problem?

Don't know

I'll just go and see her

What, Vetri?

I left my phone behind

Damned if I pick his call

Darned if I didn't!

Hello?

Can I talk to Vetri sir?

Sir...?!

He just stepped out

Who are you?

I'm speaking from Agri-college

Did he leave just now?

He said it was something urgent

He was in a rush and forgot his phone

Should I give him any message?

No, it's okay

Okay

Is it this street?

That's what she said

This is the house, come in

Does he know who we are?

- Don't know - Saravanan, right?

Come in

He is calling us

Please come in

Who is Saravanan?

- I'm Saravanan - Is that so?

Subha told me

I'm Baghyam's father Please go inside

Hello, Saravana Subha is upstairs

- Why don't you go in too? - Give me your phone

Use my phone

It's okay

'Dear customer'

'Since you don't have sufficient balance...'

'...your service has been temporarily suspended'

I told my parents I don't want to get married now

But no one is taking me seriously

I don't know what to do now

Do something, Saravana

Were you leaving home to meet Janani?

Tell me

So sorry

You know how long I waited

I wanted to inform you

I left my phone behind at home

A sudden emergency cropped up

I thought I'll meet you after that

But it was late I guess you left

Where are you now? I'll be there in a jiffy

I'm in a bus now On my way to Cochin

What are you saying?

When are you back?

10 days or so

I have to talk to you the moment I am back

No excuses, please

Same here

What?

If I should copy your style

'This isn't something I can share over the phone'

'I need to talk face to face'

Is that so?

Exactly

We could have met today!

I swear I don't understand

What did you say?

Never mind

You made me wait, right?

Now your turn to wait for 10 days

Bye

"Silver moon of joy shines blithely in the sky"

"Full moon overflowing with happiness glittering"

"Looking at me-"

'Looking at you...?'

"Looking at me smilingly Speaks a language silently"

"Crescent moon glows contentedly"

"Soft breeze caresses you with liberty"

"Gentle breeze caresses you rightfully"

"Thinking of this-"

'Thinking of this?'

"Thinking of this bliss my heart leaps-"

Your first born wants to tell you something

Does he want to study to become a collector?

He should have passed 10th grade to do so

Tell him that

I told you it is very important

Very important it seems

You shouldn't get startled

Sravanan is in love with his classmate

She is in love with him too

Her parents have started looking for a groom for her

Ask him to discuss this alliance with her father

One rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel

Hasn't he done just that?

It is my brother's wish

If he wished...?

Recommendation, huh?

I won't be bothered if he had fallen in love

I've given him for good long ago

But I never thought he would fall in love!

I thought you'll at least bring honor and pride to our family

You've stooped to this level and made me bow my head in shame

On top of it, this useless boy is endorsing your love

Why are you yelling at him?

I'll clobber you Rushing to his defense?

Can't even shave your bristle-moustache!

What's this rush to fall in love, get married and all this bullshit

Pa...?

But you shouldn't lose your temper like this either

I wanted him to become an auditor

Won't I be angry if he trashes my dream?

Do all our dreams come true?

Your dream was to get an educated wife

But you got me instead!

Aren't we happy as a couple?

What are you hinting at?

Go and meet the girl's father

Do you have any idea what you are saying?

Because I don't have any idea...

...I keep mum except for asking you to eat 3 square meals

If it had been any other boy...

...he would've brought her home

Our sons respect you as their father, right?

What is your opinion?

This is what our son wants

If we hurt our finger it is bound to hurt

Can we just chop it off?

I am stunned Is this you talking?

When have you let me voice my thoughts?

I open my mouth and you hush-

Hey! Don't start your lament

Go to bed, we will discuss this later

- Typical! - Go

Did you tell him like how I taught you?

Verbatim, word to word

But towards the end, he smelt something fishy

I thought as much

When I sent you I thought so

I knew you would over act and make a mess of it

But I covered up well

Really?

I swear Trust me

You've done something constructive only today other than cooking

Go to bed

According to you what do you think our 'teacher' will do now?

Can I ask you something? You shouldn't misunderstand

No, no....go ahead

I think you belong to another caste

She is my only daughter She is my whole world

Because you asked, if I fix this alliance outside my caste...

...tomorrow none of my kith and kin, friends and relatives will step on my porch

Having just 1 daughter I'll be literally an outcast

This holds good for you too

Youngsters now will say it is easy to change with the times

But this caste system is our fulcrum

Any chap from any caste can change his religion

But he can't change his caste!

You and I are living in this social system

I don't have the strength to change our society, master

I hope I didn't speak out of turn

You are being more than accommodative

I was thinking you'll meet me with axe and sickle!

You are being so civil and courteous towards me

If I still don't understand you I'm the world's biggest fool

If I have wounded you in any way...

...please accept my apologies

Not at all

He is such a refined gentleman

He explained the practical difficulties we face in our day to day life so well

Ask your son to forget that girl and carry on with his studies

If he is unable to...

...ask him to open a cycle shop next to the fertilizer shop and fix flat tires

Tell me, Shuba

My father has asked the groom to 'see' me at the village festival

Are you serious?

Sudden plan

That's why I called you

Shall we elope?

No way, Saravana

How can I be happy after humiliating my parents?

Do something, Saravana

Please

Shall we kidnap her?

Best solution!

Kidnap?

She doesn't even want to elope As if she'll agree to be kidnapped

You think we'll inform her?

What if she creates some problem after that?

You are sure she loves you? She wants to be your wife?

Then she won't create any problem for sure

That's decided

How can just the 2 of us do this?

I have the right contacts

Who?

They are just 4

Equal to 400 men!

"Praise be to Lord Shiva"

As long as we are alive love won't die, pal

So, the girl is not willing to come

Right?

Then kidnapping her is our only solution

Pal, get the kidnap kit

We don't pit our wits into rash moves like before, pal

He hurt his leg

He finds it tough even to walk

But he is stubborn enough to be part of every operation of ours

So we changed our route a little bit

If the person concerned is 10' away, we spray

A little closer we use chloroform

If they shout, this knife

Let's not go into the violence route

I know you prefer silence to violence, my dear friend

So we'll fix on chloroform

What if something happe-

Not to worry

Your girl will only faint

Dab just 4 drops and stick this under her nose

She'll be in another world for 4 hours at a stretch

If you keep this under her nose how will she not talk-

Don't fall into the water

Move back...move

Othaasai

Yov! Othaasai

Let's go

- Why are we here? - To kidnap the girl

Why did you bring me along?

- You won't even lend 1 hand? - I won't come even with 5 hands!

They will recognize me!

Saravana, move a little bit

Will the concerned person be there by now, pal?

Will she be there now?

Yes

If you have her photo please give it to me

Vetri broke my phone

Total damage

Okay, I'll come

No, you wait here, pal

As soon as we kidnap her...

...you must leave this place in the blink of an eye

Pal, you don't even know that girl

How will you find her that too in this crowd?

There must be about 5000 people here?

If you assume half are women...

...count is 2500

Out of that 2500, if you negate 1500 married women, balance is 1000

Babies from 1 year old to 10 will be around 500

In the remaining 500, 50 would've gone to college

10 would've studied in the same college as your brother

You told me she is the President's daughter

From his expression I am sure he would've chosen a beautiful girl

Easy to find that 1 girl, pal I'll take care

Why rattle all these calculations?

I know that girl very well

- Okay, you come along - I must go back home

You'll anyway sit at home with your lips zipped!

'Has he told the whole world?'

- Sammandhi'ma, how are you? - I am fine

- Are you doing good? - Everyone is fine

Make sure he sticks to us

Follow us, boss

My memory of her face is faded and light

But her father will know my face close up tight!

When it comes to helping someone our heels should fly, boss

'Your skin can bear the thrashing'

'But I am not thick skinned!'

They have a lot of clout

We should be very careful

Hey Othaasai, is she the girl-

- Where did Othaasai go? - He was with Pandi

Go look for him that side

Look over there

'Bro...bro...bro, for me'

Go and fetch him

Give me some, bro

How long I've been asking?

Pass it through someone

Pandi, come

I'm asking for you too

- Where is Othaasai? - He was right behind me

First look for him

Glutton of the first order!

Try and identify me

You are unable to?

Don't tell anyone

I'm Othaasai

Now I'll show you that girl

Follow me

Do you see that group there?

There are groups all over the temple!

Can you see that gentleman in a white shirt, looking so refined?

Yes

He is the President

Show us the girl

Next to him is a girl clad in a yellow-

Why is he pointing at me?

Half sari...half sari-

Yellow half sari, right? We'll handle her

Get into the car

Start

You-

No time to talk, leave now

Go...go

How will I find them in this darkness?

Why did they turn on the lights?

If they find me, they will squeeze me dry

He flew like a rocket!

Start

Hey! Vagabond At least you take me along

Start...hey Pandi, come

Get in

Othaasai, as long as we are alive, love won't die

I'll die soon!

See you in our next Operation, Othaasai

My 'yellow shirt king'! He won't let me down ever

He stripped me bare down to my underwear!

Yes, Othaasai

How could you strip me and leave me stranded here?

Who left you behind?

Give us updates by the minute!

If you had told me this earlier I wouldn't be stripped to the skin

Zip your lips and do what I say

Okay

Icing on the cake!

Othaasai, all is well?

Till now all is well

You drive carefully

No one saw you, right?

No one can recognize me

I'm well disguised you see

I'll talk to you later

Okay

As if they can find me!

You've got sandalwood paste smeared all over your body?

Is it some vow? Not pierced your cheeks with silver skewers?

'It's all done and dusted'

I'm on my way home

Anyhow you'll sit there with your lips zipped!

- Come with me - Where to?

How can I let you go so easily?

- Sir...? - Come...come

Vetri, she won't scream, right?

No, she won't

- Can we get married right now? - Will you kindly shut up?

Othaasai, my daughter who will become his daughter-in-law

They are attending this festival only to see our daughter

'Famous last words!'

Why are you shivering?

On top of it this paste on your body won't help, wear your shirt

Get Othaasai a hot cup of tea

Why are you looking at me like you're possessed?

Put on your shirt

'You shouldn't beat me to a pulp'

Here's your tea

Go ahead, drink

Which girl did you kidnap? The girl who served us tea is here

Hey! I believe we got the wrong girl

Vetri, how about this?

Shall we leave her back outside the temple?

I'll give you a solid slap

How can we abandon her outside the temple?

What if someone abuses her?

Have you completely lost it?

- Any problem? - Nothing, bro

I thought your car stalled

- No, all fine - Okay, bro

Start the car

Let's go

- Vetri...? - Get in

You kept me captive for a whole night

And now you want to drop me back home?

If someone had done this to your sister will you keep quiet?

What will I tell my parents?

How can I face my people?

I'm getting married in another 3 days

My God!

I didn't think it would go wrong even in my wildest dreams

Listen, I'll fall at anyone's feet

I will tell them you are not to blame

Trust me

Looks like our Latha

Get into the car

Call Arul immediately

Where is your daughter?

Do I look like an imbecile to you?

Kayavarnam, I've sent our boys to look for her

Let them come

Why are you hassling him?

Am I torturing him?

After making the wedding official...

...I've invited my friends, neighbors and relatives

I got to know my daughter-in-law has eloped with some fellow

You think I'll sit quiet twiddling my thumb?

Don't let your tongue run without knowing the facts

I'm fully aware of what has happened

Tell them what you saw

She was getting into the car with 3 men in the outskirts

Muthu just called me

You so-called men of integrity!

You asked me to hold my tongue till you knew the facts

You heard them? Now what do you have to say?

Tell me

My daughter isn't that kind of girl

Even if I kill her, she won't cross the line I draw

Now what happened?

How did she cross now?

Not qualified to raise your daughter properly

Why do you pride yourself in being a man?

Shameless!

You might as well hang yourself to death

- You be in the car - Why...?

Sit inside

Appa...?

He kidnapped one of our girls

Thrash him

Don't let him escape

Beat him to a pulp

What audacity!

(scuffle)

Listen to me

I'll bury you alive

Why are you looking? Pound him senseless

Trample him to death

Smash his face

- Come in, chief - Greetings

Tell me

You listen to me first

Okay, cut the call I'll call you later

Problem has blown out of proportion and gone up to the higher officials

A man has committed suicide and a girl has been kidnapped

Only when she returns, we can interrogate her

And then decide First ask her to come

She's a girl in her early 20s How can I bring her here?

She is old enough to elope?! Ask her to come here

(loud angry voices)

'Ask him to come out first He tarnished our image'

Maintain silence I'm handling it, right?

After the last rites are done, I'll ask them to bring the girl

When she comes she will accuse Vetri

Let me go find a lawyer

Keep this

Latha, we are here Don't worry

- Sakthi, come here - Be brave when you speak up

- Leave me - Shut up

You wait outside

You come in with me

Are you Latha?

Why did you elope with this chap when you're engaged to another?

'He made a bride-to-be come to the police station'

'Should dissect him'

Did you elope or did they kidnap you?

Tell me

Can't you hear me?

Cat got your tongue or what?

I'm asking you and not a word from you

Tell me

Did you run away or did they abduct you?

'No girl from our village will have such low morals'

Clear out now

Why are you hitting us, madam?

'Hit him instead'

Do you intend to speak up or not?

I went of my own free will

'Whaaat? You should be chopped to pieces'

'You disgraced us Come outside'

Chief, she has gone with him willingly

She's above 18

It's her call

'Let us see how you intend showing your face back home'

(loud indignant protests)

Chief, ask all of them to clear out first

If they create a ruckus...

...my actions will turn ugly

'Chief, she shouldn't step into our village again'

If all of you voice an opinion...

...what respect will I get?

Go

Go away

She humiliated us, chief Our village name is at stake-

Clear out

You humiliated all the villagers and spoilt the good reputation they prided on

Your respect for me is unforgettable

I am so glad!!

'Constable'

'Get their signatures and send them away'

'Okay, madam'

I want all of you to clear out

Nobody should stand here, go

Please stop the car

Hello...?

Wait a minute

For my sake you-

I didn't lie to save you

If I had told the truth...

...whoever is responsible for my father's death

...I would have to live with that family

That's why I said I went of my own free will

After my father's demise...

...this whole village has isolated me

You have ruined my life

Please wait

Not even in my dreams have I harmed a single soul

But I am the cause for your present plight

If you trust me, if you have faith in me...

...from this moment I'll be there for you

Forever

'I need to talk to you'

'Same here'

'This isn't something I can share over the phone'

'I need to talk face to face'

'You made me wait, right?'

'Now your turn to wait for 10 days'

Hello, sir

He didn't pay me interest for the past 2 months

That's why I got mad at your son

Don't lend him money hereafter even if he asks

Okay, sir I'll take leave

If I hear he has borrowed money again, you will face the brunt of my anger

He borrowed only for his shop-

So...?

He borrows only from you What is this new habit?

Look at this new concern for his son

Last week the priest in the temple told me

Father and son will bond better as time goes by

It's happening exactly as he predicted

Utter rubbish, you silly female!

If I hear he is in debt-

What happened?

This is my father This is my mother

This is my wife!

Come inside

Just because I fell in love you lost your love!

Trying to do good for me you've got a bad name, Vetri

All because of me you are in this mess

1 minute

I need to talk to you

Ma

Maaa?

Why are you so upset?

Your father might have a temper tantrum fit

But your mother is a poor soul

She's harmless

Your father might keep a long face

Will your mother misunderstand you?

My father would have wanted to hold a grand wedding for his first born

I did this without even telling her

That is my mother's grouse

Their anger is justified

I've disappointed them in all ways possible

Hello! You've got a courier

Is anyone home?

Is Vetrivel there?

Madam, I've been yelling my throat hoarse

Hello!

You've got a courier

Please get up and sign for it

Is this the teacher's house?

Don't know

Vetrivel...?

I don't know

Sorry, must be the next street

Wait

That letter is for us

Please sign

Thank you

Won't a girl who eloped not know her husband's name?

Is your son's name Vetrivel?

What are you saying?!

You don't even know his name?

No, I don't

Then how did this happen?

I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to be here

But in a close knit family...

...I can see I'm the cause of all the problems

Please forgive me

Hey, Saradha-

Where are you going, huh?

A mother is bound to be hurt in such a situation

But we aren't heartless to chase a girl who has come into our fold

My son has tied this sacred thread around your neck

How can you walk out?

You are my daughter-in-law

(traditional lament song)

Hey old lady!

Only a wedding was cancelled

Not a funeral So shut up

Sorry, couldn't come for your wedding

Hope it went off well!

Happy married life dude

I'll be there next week

Hello...hello

Hey! Arul

Where are you going?

Why is he angry?

- Don't know - What's wrong with him?

Aunt...!

What...?

What's your problem? Aren't we here for you?

Spit it out

Puke

Cough...spit it out

All of you step out

Leave the room

You want to die?

Just like your father?

Your father wasn't man enough

So ashamed he lost the election he hung himself to death

I didn't want the villagers to think less of him

I lied to everyone and said he died of a heart attack

You've proved you have your father's genes

Forgot that this mother raised you, right?

Listen to me

If you are truly my son...

...chop the head of the chap who kidnapped your fiancée

And make that girl a widow

Then I'll agree you are a man

Come here

Keep all this inside All this is for you

I don't want so much Give her also some

I'm not a stranger any longer to you

Call me 'aunt'

Why didn't you buy all this a month later?

They will always compete with each other

Come inside

Which girl did you plan on kidnapping?

Without creating a ruckus, I met the father of the girl you loved

Do I deserve this?

It was a case of mistaken identity

What if your plan had succeeded?

'I explained it to you civilly What happened to your brains?'

If the President asked me this how can I face him?

Till this very minute I have led a dignified life

Hereafter don't make me bow my head in shame

What are you saying, Subha?

My family has fixed my engagement date

Please do something, Saravana

Are you trying to be funny?

You won't elope with me

Nor will you stop the marriage

If you keep asking me to do something, what can I do?

Girls would like to play it safe but we boys have to do everything!

Because you were so stubborn...

...my brother lost the girl he loved

If we had agreed to elope we wouldn't be in this mess now

You'll come up with 101 excuses saying your father's prestige is at stake

Please try to understand-

Don't touch me!

Move aside

You'll hug, kiss, ask me to do something and you'll go

Don't cry, Subha

Sorry

Didn't I apologize?

Bro, I've got your fertilizer consignment

Will you come to the shop?

From Ramachandran

Why did you bring it at this time of night?

I have a delivery to make in Pudhukottai

On the way I thought I'll deliver this too

Okay, I'll come

Go, get him

Don't miss

Kill him

Who sent you?

Tell me

Let go of him

I know how hurt you'll be because I married your fiancée

But I didn't come to abduct her

It was another girl from your village whom my brother is in love with

I wanted to explain all this and ask for your forgiveness

But you were in too much of a hurry and sent your men

Hey! Stop sending your men or slicing my neck with a sickle

If you try your tricks again...

...you'll only pick the sickle

I'll be the one to chop your neck

"Scented jasmine, cherished flower My prince gets intoxicated for sure"

Hello, Jaggery-head

- How are you? - Getting along, bro

It's only been 4 months since you got married

And you're fed up with life already

Don't rub salt on to the wound

I'm wondering why I got married!

Is your wife creating problems?

Only if she's with me that question will arise

Where did she go?

The day after we got married...

...she was sent back to her house because it's an inauspicious month!

That's a tradition we follow for generations, part of our culture

My wife Vaadamalli also went

But by mid august she would have come back

My father made me take a celibate vow to go to Sabarimala

Whatever your father does will be only for your good

What about mid September?

After September 15th her father made her take a celibate vow

And packed her off to some other sacred hill!

Looks like both fathers were in cahoots with each other

What about October then?

She delivered a baby by then!

The sun rises in the west!

Only 4 months since he married her

From what he says, he wouldn't have even laid his finger on her

- How is that possible? - Exactly

That's what I asked too

My father-in-law's brother accused me of suspecting my wife and clobbered me

Where are you off to now?

Taking post-natal diet food for my wife

Post-natal care

You bus is here

I'll take leave, bro

If his father-in-law's brother hit him black and blue...

...who could have fathered the baby?

He wasn't cautious like me and now he has lost his wife

- Morning, madam - Good morning

- Which is Vetrivel's shop? - That's the one

See you, madam

Bro...?

Hi

I had made up my mind I would marry only you

But because of my mistake the whole village abandoned her

I didn't have any other choice

But I married her after giving it deep thought

Hereafter my life will be like this

I hope you'll understand

'I just married her, but I will love you for the rest of my life'

It would've been a mistake only if you had said this

I can understand

There was a reason why we both didn't share what we truly felt

We should accept it was for a good cause

And forget

I'll definitely...

...try my best

Coming Wednesday is an auspicious day

You can fix that date

Check if Sunday is good?

- That's a bad day - What's up?

He's looking for a good day to hold a formal reception

For people to spit on my face?

Won't folks spit on your face for what you've already done?

I just can't do all that

Won't we want to see you married formally, with garlands, feast etc?

If that's your wish, go and get a garland

You can see us wear it around our necks

So will he keep the girl he brought in the kitchen all the time?

In future when we take her out...

...people will malign her saying she eloped with you

Sir may not mind it

But we'll feel like committing suicide!

My first born, aren't we blessed to see even this?

Okay, go ahead

'Vetrivel weds Latha'

I didn't know they were your sons

They came to invite me for a Sports day celebration

Look how they have come into our village and done this

It was wrong on their part

Even if he lets me down as a son I shouldn't do the same as a father, right?

That's why I am arranging it

The wedding hall will be filled with our guests

If her friends or family attended I thought she would feel glad

But I don't know any of her relatives

That's why I thought if you attended the function-

Okay, I'll come

Come with your family

That will be insulting the whole village

I will come

As your friend

'Vetrivel weds Latha'

Welcome

Please come

As long as we are alive love won't die

Not again!

She was to be kidnapped for the younger brother

But she is now the elder brother's wife!

- Keep quiet - This is not right

I won't accept

- He'll beat you to a pulp - Okay, fine

If he doesn't thrash you, I will

- You will hit, huh? - You think I won’t?

Why this rage?

Thank God you kidnapped the wrong girl

Close shave!

If you had got the right girl I won't be sitting here like this

- What will you do sitting here? - Don't change the topic

You messed up, right? You call yourself professionals?

You might as well change your profession

- We decided this long ago - Go ahead and do so

But...?

What's but and if?

I've given my word I'll kidnap a girl 1 last time

Which village?

Madhukur

That's my village Who is the girl?

In that village-

From toddlers to old hags I tailor all their dresses

Just tell me her name I'll help you keep up your promise

4 men want me to kidnap 1 girl

I'm confused as to which of the 4 to oblige

Why be confused?

Ask that girl whom she prefers Take her straight to that chap

That's the law!

Will you ask her and let me know?

Tell me her name

Vaadamalli

See you

Good evening

Sorry, pal

Actually the other night-

Hey! Click a photo fast

Give this to him later

Go in, machan

He is here

- Come, welcome - Greetings

I am so glad you made it Please come in

Move a little closer

Is everything going on fine?

Hey Saradha! President of Naatuchalai

My wife

- Greetings - So glad you could come

Hello, sir

You belong to my village Earn a good name in this family

Give him the sacred ash

May you be happy

May you be happy, son

Hey! Get my mat also

Why are you going up?

You should be going in there

It's not even a month since her father passed away

I'm already a sinner for having married her right after his demise

Wedding night is last on my list now

Is she a woman or an inanimate doll?

Your parents are brainless

What happened to your brains?

Poor soul!

"You are the Lord all encompassing You are the auspicious beginning"

"You are the enlightened light The aura that shines always bright"

"I came here to you for shelter My savior, lord and master"

"One who swallowed poison to save mankind from destruction"

"My salvation"

"No one as awesome as you I've ever met, my beau"

"Looking at you tall and dynamic even the spacious sky may shrink"

"No one as handsome as you I've ever met my whole life through"

"Looking at your height, I confess even the endless sky may compress"

"You entered my life like divinity Even before I asked, you blessed me"

"Golden hearted soul that you are I worship you, no holds barred"

"How many ever births, you and me together we will always be"

"No one as humane as you I've ever met, whole life through"

"Looking at you, tall and gentlemanly even the vast sky may diminish gently"

Where did you go?

To do the funeral rites

When we are both alive whom did he do last rites for?

My father-in-law

Shouldn't his son be the one to do that ritual?

Son-in-law can also do it

You're going out of your way

But why are you still keeping her at a distance?

When did I isolate her?

I'm the one maintaining my distance

That's what I am asking you

Did I unite Saravana with the girl he loves?

Then how can we alone be blissfully happy?

She has understood me very well

You're the one unnecessarily complicating this issue

"My heart must have been beating Waiting for you, regularly greeting"

"Unknowing, of its own accord within you it touched a chord"

"When I was standing forlorn my life bleak, no one to belong"

"You were my savior-compatriot Hoisted me into a pearled chariot"

"With just a single word you made me your world"

"4,320,000,000 years and more is our bond It has crossed time, space and beyond"

"No one as awesome as you I've ever met, my love true"

"Looking at you tall and dynamic even the spacious sky may shrink"

"No one as handsome as you I've ever met my whole life through"

"Looking at your height, I confess even the endless sky may compress"

The wedding decoration should be A-1

Okay, chief

There should be enough chairs Guests shouldn't stand

I'll call you when it is all finalized

I need to talk to you

Your nephew wants to talk to you

I know my mother and you don't get along

But I have nothing against you

Even now I heard something

But if I keep quiet and not tell you...

...knowing it concerns you it won't be right on my part

You know Vetrivel kidnapped Latha at the temple festival

He didn't intend kidnapping Latha

He had planned to kidnap your daughter

I wanted to ask you something That's why I sent for you

Please tell me

It seems at the temple festival your sons planned to kidnap my daughter

Are you aware of that?

You knew about it

But you didn't tell me

Am I right?

You came and invited me ever so magnanimously

You could have told me at least then, right?

Hey! Rascal

How many times I've told you to serve tea to the guest first?

If I tell you once, won't it enter your thick skull?

Learn whom you should treat with respect and how

Get lost!

Please drink your tea

Next week my daughter is getting engaged

Very soon she will be married

Don't think I'm sharing this out of respect for you

If my dignity is at stake...

...I won't hesitate resorting to pulling their insides out

Warn your sons

Where is your son?

Why?

What happened?

Tell me

Hey! How dare you-

Let go of my hand I will kill you

Why are you hitting him?

Let go

Why are you hitting him?

For having raised him and made him a man he has honored me with a good name

I'm hitting him with all that joy!

- Rascal! - Stop it

Listen to me

Go in, dear

I just wanted to-

Go inside

At least you listen to me Please go inside

What's wrong with you?

What can get worse than this?

My reputation, dignity vanished into thin air

I teach my students lessons usually

Today someone else is teaching me a lesson

All...all because of him

Next week his daughter is getting engaged

If your sons go and create a ruckus there...

...you won't see me alive

Are you still upset?

Isn't your father justified in being mad at you about this?

Not because he hit me

I love Subha with all my heart

But when I think of how much I have ruined the peace of mind of everyone

...I hate myself

Even I thought in 1 single day my whole life was in shambles

But even if my father had found a groom for me...

...I don't think I could have been luckier than this!

Don't lose heart

You'll also find your peace of mind

Whoever opposes you...

...your brother will be by your side

When my son was born...

...we celebrated with offerings to our family deity in grand style

After 27 years we have come here

...as thanksgiving to the same God for the 1st auspicious event in our family

We have hardly finished thanking

And you come here asking me to cancel the engagement

Is Rajamanickam aware your brother is in love with his daughter?

It's not only the taste that counts

All the guests should be looked after very well

Those who eat our feast should talk about our wedding for a whole week

Okay...?

We will do as per your wish, sir

My groom's father is on the line

I'll fix the wedding date and let you know

You can leave now

I'll be back

Hello 'sammandhi'

Wedding preparations are in full swing

We've got the best wedding hall Spoke to the best cook in town

I'll pay the advance as soon as the date is fixed

What about your side?

I want to ask you something

It seems your daughter is in love with some chap

Tell me

Did you think you could hide everything and conduct this wedding, Rajamanickam?

Can we talk in person please?

Is there anything left to discuss?

I have no problem telling you what really happened, sir

I spoke to that boy's father and cleared everything

You cleared everything with the father

What about your daughter? She also reciprocated his love!

My daughter won't go against my wish the way you think-

Forced marriage won't work This is a different era altogether

Even if you thought so...

...why should my son be the scapegoat?

Look for another alliance suitable to your status!

Hello...hello

Deivanai, they asked me to cancel the wedding

Don't think she is calm and submissive

She is the sole reason for this cancellation

She...she is up to something

I have nothing to do with this calling off

It is happening of its own accord

Don't pull words out of my mouth

Didn't you plan to elope on the temple festival day?

You just assume something and come to your own wrong conclusions

When Saravana's father spoke to you...

...you may have had 100 reasons for rejecting his proposal

But when he asked me to elope I refused based on only 1 reason

Both of you

Though you were preparing for my wedding so eagerly...

...I was cool and collected only because of my intuition

I was sure all this won't materialize

But let me tell you this today When I marry...

...Saravanan will be the groom

That too with your consent

Don't get me wrong Will you take a decision soon?

Or keep your daughter at home and keep protecting her?

Our society is unaware of the news we know

A daughter should be married well within the right time

Why don't you get Subha married to your sister's son Arul?

Wondering if your hot-tempered sister will take good care of your daughter?

Arul is a good fellow

Didn't he forget all the feud and stand by you in your time of need?

This way you can patch up the long drawn family feud too

Your sister's lifeline is shaky

Instead of standing at her funeral as one among the crowd...

...it makes sense to be part of her family through marriage ties

You come over I'll take care of the rest

Come in

Hey Arul, call your uncle in

Hello, uncle Come in, aunt

Welcome, it has been decades since you stepped into our house

Come in, uncle

Please come in

Please be seated

Devanai

Here, sister-in-law

Why are you hesitating?

Talk, clear the air and call it a truce

Take the packet of salt as truce

Grandma, look who is here

Our village president has come to visit us

Have you come to send me off on my final journey?

I am worried I'll die before my grandson finds a good wife

Will you consent to your daughter becoming my grandson's wife...

...and make me die peacefully?

Kayavarnam, they have come all this way to patch up the feud

Why are you hesitating?

What are you thinking about?

At least say 'yes' or 'no'

Didn't she accept the salt handed to her now true to our custom?

Then why this silence?

That is equal to consent

Fix a good date and let them get engaged

Why do we have to fix a good date?

Everyday is a good day when it comes to a joyous event

Periyayi, get the tray with betel leaves to seal the pact

Your wish has come true You're happy now?

How dare you come here!

Bro, don't

Don't lose your cool-

Let go of me

If your anger will dissipate only if you hit me, go ahead

But first please hear me out

This caste issue and false prestige is making you take rash decisions

Whatever it is, think calmly

Just for your self-satisfaction, if you get your daughter married...

...to a man she doesn't like she won't be happy

So why go ahead with this alliance?

Who are you to preach to me?

I know what's good and bad for me

GO

If this is your final decision then please hear mine

Only my brother will marry your daughter

You go ahead and do what you want

You can think twice if it is a stranger's house

Why hesitate to come here?

Anyway she will come here very soon as my daughter-in-law

What's wrong if she comes here a few days earlier?

Hey betel-leaf box! Bring my daughter-in-law here

And ask my brother to attend to the wedding preparations

When I am here let me see what they can do

Have my sons created any problem for you?

Nothing of that sort

You've come here at this late hour

I have come to ask you a favor

Favor...?

I was so selfish, steeped in false notions of caste and prestige

I didn't give a thought to my daughter's happiness

What happened?

Our chief is here

Welcome, sir

Aw! Cow dung

You stamped on it? Let me get you some water

Don't bother

Just tell me where I can get water

Right here

'I thought you might have to give in'

'I didn't think he would visit us and accept this alliance'

'Aunt, it isn't as simple as you think'

I was literally lying on a hot bed of coal for 20 years

Didn't he make me a widow and abandon me?

If I get his daughter married and make her a widow the very next week?

Won't he feel the pain?

I thought she wanted a truce and I agreed to this alliance

But she would stoop so low as to kill her own son...

...I never even dreamt

To think I've given my word and to get my daughter married to Arul...

...is as good as poisoning my own daughter

Even though I thought caste is the only priority...

...you were the one who made me realize people are equally important

Sir, will you accept my daughter as your daughter-in-law?

What is this, sir?

When you stepped in here, trusting us, wanting your daughter to be happy...

...the next minute she became our daughter-in-law

Be brave We are here for you

Is this way blocked?

A tree fell across the road, sir

- I just went by this route - It fell only now

They will remove it only tomorrow morning

I see

- Is there another route? - You can go this way

- This way? - Yes

Okay

Greetings, anna

You got your daughter engaged to my son

And signed a separate pact there

Till date you haven't changed one bit

You continue to be the dunkhead who cannot honor his words!

Hey! Mind your words

Don't I know your intention when you formalized the engagement?

My daughter's life is my only priority

Then when do we settle my account?

Hear me out

Doesn't matter who you seek help from

Not only your daughter

But you can't even grab a handful of sand from my house

It is a major problem

But come what may only you should marry the girl

Just because he came home I wasn't politely consoling him

I've given him my word that you'll do the needful

Hey Vetri, kidnap her now

He is missing? What do you mean?

Did you enquire thoroughly?

Let me try his number and then call you back

Why is the number switched off?

Sister-in-law?

Why do you look dull?

Your brother promised to call me last night

But he didn't

I tried calling him The phone is switched off

Shall I go up to the house and check if everything is alright?

Are you going alone?

Wait

As a safety measure let me file a complaint

...in the police station that he's missing!

In case he calls you call me immediately

Subha will be fine, right?

He came only yesterday

Hey, Kandha

Come here

Escort my sister-in-law to her house

Okay, please come

See you, sister-in-law

Call Subha's friend

Ask her to find out where she is

She may know someone in that village, right?

That's right

Hey Latha

- This is Latha here - Hey Latha, how are you?

I called for something else

Can you do me a favor?

Why do you even ask? Tell me what I should do

Not for me

My husband will talk to you

Listen carefully to what I say

I'll leave immediately

What...?

President hasn't opened his eyes yet

Should we take him to the hospital?

Not in broad daylight!

Not that-

Why have you come instead of your mother?

Mother isn't feeling too good

So she sent me to help you with the wedding preparations

Go inside and attend to your work

Okay, madam

You leave now, I will make the necessary arrangements

Okay, akka

Subha is here

But her parents don't seem to be here

How are things otherwise?

Not what you feared at all, anna

Wedding preparations are going on normally

I'll call you again later

In case you get any information before that, let me know

- Okay, anna - Hey! You

I told you to dry the rice and you are busy fiddling with your phone here

- I already did, madam - Oh! Okay

- Do you know to ride a bike? - Yes, I do

- Look at this photo - When did you take this?

Wait

- Did akka send it? - Yes, bro

Leave it in there

Okay, bro

- Anna, I saw the President - Where did you see him?

Exactly which spot?

- Aunt, your phone is ringing - Bring it here

Smear this with turmeric and bring it to me

Okay

Tell me

That girl informed someone over the phone

I knew she would

She has come here only to spy on us, I was sure

That's why I sent her there

She fell into my trap

A new chap is sure to land up there

Take care of him right there

Understood?

I'll be back in a bit

Deliver the vegetables to the wedding hall

Only because both families will patch up their feud...

...I agreed to this alliance

But my mother plans to send you back as a widow 1 week after the wedding

To take revenge on your father

How can I go with this?

I'm absolutely against it

There's no time to think Ask Saravanan to come

Before my mother returns...

...I'll drop you outside the village limit

From there you can go back with him

At least I want you to be happy!

Talk to him

Hello...?

Subha, where are you?

Let's go in

Why...?

No...Saravana-

It's ringing

Why isn't he here still?

Chapter closed! Let's scoot

It's Saravanan

Where are you, Saravana?

I've come close by but I don't know the way

How do I get there?

He wants to know the way

The route to get here

- Saravanan, where are you? - I'm at the 4 road junction

Should I take right or left?

Take right from there You'll see the temple

My car is parked outside

Come in

Saravanan, please come soon

I will...I will

He should be here soon

He's close by

Where is the key?

- Where is the key? - How will I know?

You had it with you

Where did I misplace it?

I'm here now

Listen to me

Don't cry, Subha

We'll be fine

I'll call you back

Leave...leave

Leave right away Make sure you don't get caught

Ask your brother-

By the way, where is your brother?

I was in such a hurry I forgot to tell him

You've come to take Subha How could you not tell him?

Call him now

His phone is ringing But he isn't picking up

He can pick up only if he's alive!

Subha, run

Saravana...!

You and your Saravana!

What do you think of yourself?

Let go of her

I won't make allowances that you are a lady!

What will you do?

You come over here

She is my daughter-in-law

Who are you to come in between?

Trample him

Don't spare him

Beat him to death

Why are you thrashing me?

Let him go

Beat him to a pulp

Let him go

Where the hell are you rushing?

Let him go

Hey! Stop!

Kill him

Spare us

We'll go away

Don't hurt him Let him go

Shove her aside

Drag her to the spot where her father is lying

Okay, akka Lift her

'Get up'

Who asked you to come here?

Subha is fine

Go...bash him up

Finish him off

Kill him

Don't touch my brother

What will you do?

Don't hit him

Kill him first

Finish him once for all

Leave my son

Leave him

Now try to hit my brother

Go on

Don't...!

'Let go of him'

'Don't hurt him'

Don't kill him

How long will it take for me to finish him off?

First throw away the enmity you harbor in your heart

And learn to forgive people who made mistakes

Sir, look here

Your family members are standing separately

Ask them to stand together

Family members?

When did they become part of my family?

I'll take care of you later

It's either them or me today Won't spare you, bloody rascals!

To spoil a couple from bonding 4 of you have joined together?

Nab that bloody driver

At least catch the astrologe-

What happened?

You want to know why?

These 4 scoundrels always ogle at my beautiful wife, Vaadamalli

Until now you haven't questioned them at all

Not 4 even if 4000 people ogle at your wife...

...you have to trust your wife!

I trust your wife, don't you?

'He used me to preach his message'

Please sit upright

- Are you ready? - Wait a minute

All of you are in pairs

Where is my wife?

You should've called her, right?

Let him call

Latha...?

Come

Come here
