"No animals were harmed
in the making of this film."

I don't think we can trust
America anymore!

Why? What happened?

They don't have a
consistent stand.

Look what happened
in Afghanistan?

They orphaned and left
them suddenly, right?

Many people lost their financial
stability because of that.

In fact, look at my plight.

I lost a lot of my share value
in the stock exchange.

Are they kidding me?
-That's why I said,...

...leave aside these share
and focus on gold.

Gold is risky.
-Have some guts.

I have guts but I'm unable to
recover from an occasional blip.

Just turn around then.

What happened?

Why did you ask me
to turn around now?

I was asking you to shift
from gold to digital.

Goodness! I got scared.

Didn't you see that
police jeep pass by?

Can't you be clear?
-So, what I was saying is...

...everything is digital now.
It's work from home these days.

Work from home
is risky for us.

Everyone is awake during midnight
and they are always online.

They then sleep during the day.
It's useless for us.

That's true.
-That's why I pick...

...vacant homes to rob.
-But it's thrilling...

...to rob a habited house.
-Yes, you are an adventurous guy.

There's no adventure here.
Just a mother and her school girl.

Her husband is working in
the gulf and hence no risk.

You're going that side, right?
-Yes.

I'm going this side.
An American has gone on vacation.

There's no dog in that house.
So, it's safe.

See you tomorrow after work then.
-All right. Do well.

All the best.

Haven't I told you
not to call me during duty time?

Listen, it's our uncle's
daughter's birthday today.

Did you wish her?
-Won't tomorrow morning do?

No, it's significant to
wish at midnight itself.

At least leave a
WhatsApp voice message.

Okay.
-Our property deed is with him.

Don't forget that.
-Okay, please cut the call.

Uncle, birthday wishes to your
girl from me and Sarasama.

Kisses for your daughter,
give it to her when you get time.

Mom.

Mom.

I heard some noise.
-Keep quiet and sleep.

We should have returned our
gold to the bank locker.

It's at a safer place here,
than the locker.

Which is the safer place?

There's a container of rice in the
store room near our kitchen, right?

I have hidden everything inside it.

Nobody in the world can
possibly discover that.

Mom, you're so smart.
-Okay, go to sleep then.

Yes, dear.

What?

I see.
I'm on a ride to the airport.

I shall drop them and
reach there soon.

You just inform Benny too.
-I have informed Uncle Benny.

He will reach soon.
Okay, sure.

Why do you need to
gather people around?

I made a mistake and I'm sorry.
Oh my God, this burns.

If you release me,
I will leave instantly.

I won't be in this
area after that.

Sister, can't you forgive me?
You can.

I will forgive you.
Let everyone reach here first.

Let them come.
I'm in no rush.

I shall wait here.

Looks like you're still
using a hand grinder.

It's good because it gives
the food a special flavour.

Hand grinders are
available in Amazon now.

There are plenty of offers too.
I wanted to order one for my wife.

But she needed a blender instead
and I somehow got one last week.

You get all these things
without spending anything.

Sister, I'm a family man after all.

But both of you
bluffed me so smooth.

Sister, please don't create
a scene, I'm an innocent guy.

Where?
-In the store room.

Didn't you inform the police?
-I thought of informing them...

...after you reach.
-No need of police, sir.

We can sort this out
like gentlemen.

You're right.
Police isn't necessary.

I'm enough for you.

You will rob the house where
there are no men, is it?

Stop screaming!
-Sister, please call the police.

Police is better than this.

I will beat the
bones out of you.

Hand me the sanitizer.

Move aside dear.

Benny, you reached earlier?
-Yes.

So, he's the guy?
-Yes.

Where are you from?
-From there.

He's a Tamil.
-I see.

Where are you from?
-Melur.

Where in Melur?
-Behind the factory.

Behind which factory?
Where is it?

Chidambaram.
-Chidambaram?

Chidambaram Street?
-Anthony of Chidambaram Street?

I'm his son.
-What's your name?

Solomon,
my church name is Shalomon.

Nice name you have.
-Do you know him?

I know his father.
He was working in the harbour.

How did that innocent man
possess such a wicked son?

So pathetic!
-It's my social situation uncle.

What?
-Social situations.

I'm going to kill you today.
-Let's call the police

Social situations it seems!
-No one got hurt, right?

I will take care of him.
-Don't take the risk.

He's going to be a headache.
-Let me try. Walk.

Get going.
-Uncle, I didn't take my tool kit.

What?
-My toolkit.

Sir, can you pass that bag?
-Useless fellow.

God bless you sister,
you are bold. You too.

Get moving. Compliments it seems!

Please drop me at
the nearby bus stop.

You're not going anywhere.

If I ask you to come and stay
at my house, you won't listen.

An adventurous mother and
her daughter, both of you are.

Please don't mention
about this to my mother.

If I tell her this, she won't
let you stay here alone.

Shall I make tea for you?
-Now? No need.

Appu, you have the mock test for
the entrance exam next week.

Have you studied?
-Yes, somewhat.

The exams in our coaching centre
are not like school tests.

It's going to be so
precise and definite.

I prepared the questions myself.
-Uncle, why don't you give me...

...the question paper then?
Let me just flaunt.

If you come unprepared, I will
teach you a lesson, understood?

I shall leave then.
Lock the doors properly.

Don't call me at midnight again.

Appu.

Wake up.

Wake up Appu.
-Yes.

Aunty Bindu is here.
-What about it?

She has brought a gift for you.
-What gift?

Go and see!

Wow, so cute.
-Do you like it?

When the next thief comes,
he will warn you.

Thank you, aunty.

What's it's name?
-Why don't you name him?

Cookie.
-Nice name.

I'm leaving then.
I have got a meeting.

Had your breakfast?
-I don't have time, dear. I'm busy.

Just wait for ten minutes.
-No, I'm running out of time.

I'm envious of you
sitting peacefully at home.

Let's go.

Is this what I taught you?

Ma'am, we have modified it a bit
according to the situation.

I didn't choreograph this dance
for you to change it as your wish.

Who made the changes?

Who did this?

Aparna suggested these changes
saying you will like it.

Are you more
experienced than me?

The principal has assigned me
to design all the programs...

...for the youth festival
including this. So, do as I say.

Start the music.

Saw that? You have
to do as I did.

Your eyes and face should
possess expressions, understood?

Sorry ma'am, my face won't
possess such expressions.

Aparna, what's this?
-Appu, wait.

Why are you early today?

Hello, cool down, dear.

Your period dates for this
month is early, isn't it?

Yes.
-That explain the rage.

If you didn't like teacher's
choreography, don't follow it.

But when you overreacted and walked
out, your friends paid the price.

Why don't you understand that?
You should have some tolerance.

Sorry, mom.
-It's okay. Patch it up tomorrow.

That's how it is usually, right?
-Yes.

Take your bath and let's go for
a drive to the grandma's place.

Is bathing necessary?

I won't let you enter
my car without bathing.

Quick.

I'll take that.

We are lucky that
the thief was a fool.

Otherwise, it would have been
an adventure like 'Home Alone'.

Haven't I asked you to come and
stay here in the night at least?

Don't you know that
he doesn't like it?

If I wish to come and stay there,
Benny doesn't like it.

So, the problem is solved.
Nobody needs to shift anywhere.

If it were a flat,
it would have been safer.

People still love landed
properties, don't they?

We're safe enough there.
-That's not what I meant.

Either your husband should
come and stay with you here,...

...or he should take his family
to Dubai and settle there.

Your 'workshop mechanic' husband
however can't possibly afford it.

Benny!
-I just expressed my concern.

She's facing a hard time here
being all alone.

I'm not having a hard time. The
workshop mechanic is struggling...

...in Dubai so we don't have
to struggle. We're very happy.

The brother-sister fighting
has begun, has it?

Brothers express their love
by irritating their sisters.

You also reiterate the same way.
-Correct.

Julie, I need to go. I just
got a call from the hospital.

Two of my patients were directed
to the labour room, before I came.

Get them delivered
fast and come back.

Will you be late today?
-I will keep you updated.

It's a good thing that
you brought the bag.

People still get furious if
we don't pack it in plastic bags.

Yes, dear?
Just give me a minute.

Please take this, brother.

Hello.

I can't hear you.

Can you call me after
five minutes?

What happened?
-My daughter was here.

Thanks, madam.

Appu!

What are you doing?

I moved the car a bit for
the auto to pass through.

Move aside!

You'll get your license in a year
and you can drive then, okay?

Hello? Yes?
I was in the market.

I couldn't hear anything.

Is it?

Okay.
Will you call tonight?

Okay.

What's the matter, mom?

Your dad is coming.

Cookie.

Why aren't you happy
about dad's arrival?

Why not? I'm happy.

Dad lost his job.
He won't go back again.

Goodness gracious!
-Why are you worried?

Nothing.
-We need to...

...a check on our expenses.
You should be more careful, Appu.

Will my pocket money
be scrapped too?

Sometimes.

A few of my friends' fathers
are like 'Hitler'.

Will my dad be the same?
-I have no clue.

You better be nice to him.
-It's going to be challenging...

...mollycoddle one more person.
-Is it?

Will dad be a 'thorn'
in our freedom?

Close the door.

What will be the
mass of an electron? Aparna?

9.1 times 10 to the power
of minus 31 kilograms.

9.1 times 10 to the power of minus?
-31 kilograms.

It will come around.....
-Good morning, Sir.

The rules and manners here
aren't applicable to you, is it?

Why did you not ask permission
before entering the class?

When I came,
you were a little busy.

Pardon?
-When I came, you were busy.

So, I thought it's better
not to disturb you.

It's been half an hour
since the class has begun.

Actually, I was ready for
the class much earlier...

...but my bike could not start.
So, my Dad offered me to drop me...

...on his way to the court
but my Dad was late...

...so naturally, I'm also late.

These excuses won't be valid when
your entrance results come out.

Also, this is your third attempt.
Don't forget that.

Now 5.46 times
10 meters per second.

Got it?
-Yes, sir.

All of you?
-Yes, sir.

Okay. So, we will
go for the next.

Oops!

Clean the board then.
-Me?

Don't you know how to clean it?
-Okay I will.

Sir, I have cleaned it.
-Okay.

Where are you going?
Stay right here.

Attend the class from here so
you will be more focused, okay?

Now, let's solve
another problem.

To find out the kinetic energy
of an ejected electron, okay?

Got it?

Then, what does 'h' stand for?

What does 'h' stand for?

Is it 'height'?
-Height?

Go and sit there.
-No, it's okay.

I can focus better from here.
-That's enough. Go and sit.

Once your dad comes back,
your adventures will end.

How was he in his childhood?
Was he innocent?

Innocent? I used to
beat the daylights out of him.

Was he that naughty?
-He wasn't naughty, he was adamant.

If he wanted something,
he wanted it immediately...

...so I thought he would do well
in studies but he was very lazy.

He had the consideration of being
a teacher's kid in the school...

...and he would exploit that. He
was lucky to pass tenth standard.

That's why we directed him
to a vehicle workshop.

But he was smart enough to
win my mom's heart over.

His humour sense is incredible.
That's how your mom fell for him.

Eat it up fast and give
this to your grandfather.

If we wait for his
consultation to end,...

...he may not have
this coffee at all.

Extend your tongue.

Lift your hand.

Come on. Lift a little higher.
-It's a little difficult, doctor.

You should control your diet.
-Yes.

Listen to the wise.

You may eat everything
that you desire for...

...but that doesn't mean,
you may eat the whole of it.

Doctor, I control my diet now.
-Then, why are you ill?

Have your medicines on time, okay?
-Okay.

You'll have to watch your food
intake from now on. Here you go.

Should I button it for you?
-No, doctor. I can do it.

Welcome, dear.
-Looks like you got busier...

...after your retirement.
-A few of my familiar patients...

...visit me for consultation
It's not possible to reject them.

Were there entrance, NEET
exams during your time too?

No, the admissions those
days were purely based on merit.

Even though I had the marks to
join MBBS, I took up Ayurveda.

I'm fed up with these
classes and coaching.

Honestly, I don't want to become
either a doctor nor a collector.

But Uncle Benny is so
persuasive in forcing me...

...to achieve degrees that
my mother couldn't possibly get.

Doctor, vanakkam.
-Look who's here.

Why are you alone?
-To visit you,...

...I don't nee
anyone to accompany me anymore.

That stage is long gone.
All thanks to you.

Who's this?
-She is my grandchild.

Did you know, your
grandfather is a genius.

My children took me to many
prestigious hospitals and doctors.

Not one of them could
cure my illness but he cured it.

He's such a legend.
-You're able to sleep well now?

Of course,
I have no issues now.

I can manage all
the home chores too.

That means, I'm
completely fine now.

I wanted to thank you in person.
That's why I came here.

See, this is the best compliment
a doctor can ever get.

I'm not wasting your time anymore.

For being kind to patients like us,
may God bless you abundantly.

Thank you.
-Also, if you can make calls...

...to my home occasionally an
ask about me, I will be happy.

You can call me too.
-I can,...

...but you might be busy, right?
I don't want to disturb you.

If it's inconvenient for
you, then it's fine.

There's no inconvenience.
-Please note down my number.

Dear, please note down the number.

0091.
-The country code as well?

0091.
-98470.

98470.
-32321.

32321.
-4545.

4545.
-222 222.

What did you just say?

222 222.
You write it down.

222 222, 4591.

111 00 00.

4540 4715.

151515.

Mom is here.
-Come.

Mom, please come with us.
-I don't want to come.

Sorry doctor, we have been
searching for her for a long time.

Mom, please stay silent
and get into the car.

Let me finish saying the number.

Genius.
-Shut up.

Is dad going to sleep
in this room?

Not him, you.
-Me? Why should I sleep here?

Why can't we all sleep
together in a single room?

Just ask your friends, if they're
still sleeping with their parents?

You're so naive.

Are you asleep Mom?
-Yes, I'm asleep.

Why's dad coming now?
-What's your problem?

I just need my mom.

The problem is that her friends
are with her all the time.

If I propose her now,
will they tease me, right?

For sure, they will tease you.

He's extremely
dedicated to woo you.

The guy standing next
to him looks good, right?

Yes, he has nice hair.

Are they still looking at me?
-Yes.

Are you sure?
-Yes.

Every one loves me.
-He looks like a fool, doesn't he?

That's right.

Yes, mom?
Dad reached? When?

Yes, I'm coming.
Okay, I'm going, bye.

Please pay mine too. Bye.
-Bye.

Didn't I tell you?
She can't resist when she sees me.

Please move away.
-What?

We need some privacy. Please.

Listen, I don't know how to begin.

Aparna, don't leave.
I haven't begun yet.

Hey, what happened?

She said that we'll meet
in the evening and left.

What's this, Appu?
-I was expecting dad...

...to open the door.
-Why are you late?

Dad was waiting for you for long
to give you a surprise from school.

I called you because it was late.
-Where's he then?

He just left. He might be
at Uncle Loren's house.

Break it into smaller logs
to use it as firewood.

Okay, uncle.

Hi, honey.
-Hi, darling.

Haven't you finished this yet?
You must clean the water tank...

...after this.
-Can I do that now?

I'm bored of this.
-Even if you're bored...

...finish this first.
Let him finish this first.

He can clean the tank later.
-It's up to you.

You need to pluck a few coconuts
from the coconut tree.

Before you do that,
clean my car as well.

Finish this first.

You haven't let him go yet?

He is my "genie" now.
He does all the work.

Else, he's going to the jail.
-Gas cylinders are expensive now.

Did my Dad come here?
-He came here but we couldn't...

...talk much. Madhavan
came and took him along.

He will be there.
-All right.

You have got better at this.
-Damn.

Dad.

Appu.

Oh goodness.

Have you come from Dubai
to repair this vehicle?

Madhavan was a regular
client in my old workshop.

It seems, this vehicle has been
out of order for a few months now.

Have you come
in search of your dad?

Have this.

Would you like a glass too?
-No, thank you.

She will have this.
-No, you have it.

Have it.
-No, thank you.

Sir, please start the vehicle.
-Okay.

Hold this.

Is it okay now?

I knew you could
easily repair this.

An outside mechanic will prove
to be expensive, won't it?

I'll make a move then.
Come on, dear.

You didn't bathe today, right?

Goodness gracious, looks like
the whole of Tamil Nadu...

...dishes is on the table.
-Today is the first day...

...so, the special treatment.
Don't expect this every day.

What's the matter?
-Nothing,...

...I just go
reminded of my 'Khuboos'.

If you are so sad about Khuboos,
you'll find it at the supermarket.

Tomorrow onwards, we can make
Khuboos and curd to be our dinner.

I fondly remember
the delicacy of your cooking...

...and force myself
to eat that Khuboos there.

You should not drink water
when you're eating as it...

...would affect your digestion.
Drink water one hour before,...

...or one hour after your meal.
That's the right way to do it.

There should be discipline
in everything we do.

Anyway, dad,
just out of curiosity...

...how about those having soup
or porridge? Does this rule apply?

Soup and porridge is not
equal to rice, it's different.

Do you understand now?
-Yes, I understand.

Do you understand, mom?
-Yes, I understand too.

How could you waste food, Appu?

It's said that every grain
has the name of the person...

...eating it engraved on it
You should respect the food.

Sorry, dad, I will be more
careful from hereon.

P. G. Nandakumar, this grain
has your name engraved on it.

Brilliant!

Don't you have tissues, Julie?
-Forget tissues and Khuboos hereon.

There's a little one
roaming around here.

Let her comprehend the love
her dad has for her mother.

There are a lot of
mosquitoes here.

There aren't any
mosquitoes in Dubai.

All the mosquitoes in Dubai
have landed here, right?

It's very peaceful to sit here.

Sit peacefully and have some
sweet too, I made payasam.

Appu has a great sense of humour.
It shows a healthy mind.

A healthy mind is questionable.

Having to tolerate her tantrums,
makes me just want to slap her.

It's difficult to handle
a teenager alone.

To manage her, you need
to be her best friend.

If you behave like a headmaster
instead, kids will turn rebels.

You managed it well till now.
I wasn't lucky enough to witness...

...her mischief o
any other happy moments.

She will provide ample chances.
There's a lot of time for that.

Since you have decided to settle
down here, what's the plan?

What are you planning to do?
-Don't you worry about that.

We have lived honourably
so far, haven't you?

It will remain the same
in the future as well.

The practical experience
and the professionalism...

...I have gained from abroad,
will be put into use precisely.

I have made plans even
before boarding the flight.

We will think about that later.
For the last 10 to 15 years,...

...there's a life tha
we were unable to have.

We're going to start that now.

Are you scared to sleep alone?
-Yes.

Come.

Here's your bright
and brilliant girl.

Sleep.

We can start the life tomorrow.

Do you have pain here?
-A little.

How about here?
Sit straight then.

Does he eat well?
-He doesn't eat much, doctor.

Leave it alone.
It's almost 7 to 8 years old.

Your dad has decided
to buy a new one.

Only expats has the habit
of disposing damaged goods.

If you give it for repair,
it will cost more than a new one.

The mechanic is here now.
Let me try.

I have changed your medicines.
Have them on time.

Follow your passion and
keep your spirits high.

Okay, doctor.

You got it repaired?
-Yes.

So, it will live for
a few more years just like me.

You're in top condition, dad.
You have patients and an income.

I have enough money for both
of us to go on a world tour.

I see, you've such plans
in your old age, is it?

Yes, there are such plans.
There are also parents who...

...force their kids to take car
of them in their old age.

We don't impose such obligations.
We need neither your money,...

...nor your protection.
You carry on with your life.

We will take care of ourselves.
-How's that possible?

It's a father's duty to
take care of his children.

Just because you have turned old,
don't forget your responsibilities.

Since you've decided
not to take rest, I can, right?

No problem, do as you wish.
Are you free today?

From now on, I'm fully free.
-I got a call from Madhavan...

...informing that he's not well.
Let's go there.

Anyway, what's your plan hereon?

I would like to
start a business.

A workshop like before?
-No, that's not ideal anymore.

I would like to start a unit of
organic curry powder. Let's see.

I have been considering
a few places for my world tour.

I have some cash too.
-You're my strength, dad.

I don't need money, dad. You
just need to be with me always.

You don't need tobacco, right?
-How do I eat without tobacco?

To have the full effect
of chewing betel leaves,...

...tobacco is essential.
-Okay.

Please take this inside.

If the doctor sees this,
then we will be in trouble.

Go inside.
Make it fast.

You said that you aren't well.
You seem to be fine.

Only if I say I'm sick,
you will come here.

You seem to have not lost
the art of bluffing people.

I wanted to see you and
I have a few inconveniences too.

Weren't you in Dubai?
-I came back.

From now on, I will be here.
-That's good.

You can be with your dad too.
-What's your problem now?

I have indigestion issues which
resulted in bad constipation.

My urine is slightly yellowish too.
-Let me see.

Nanda, in the northern
part of the compound,...

...you'll find some
gale of the wind.

Pluck some punarnava too.
-Is punarnava necessary?

Why not?
-That's not the problem now.

Then what's the problem?
-My grandkids came down...

...from Calcutta. When they were
playing cricket, I played along.

On my third attempt, I experienced
a muscle cramp in my back.

The pain is excruciating,
and I'm unable to even move it.

There's no shortage of
mischief although you're old.

Please get up.
Careful.

Isn't this a mechanical injury?
This mechanic is good enough.

Nanda, please check.
-Can he do it?

He's been with me for long.
-Okay.

You said the pain is here, right?
-Yes.

Just a minute, stay put.
-Okay.

Goodness gracious!
-How's it now?

I'm fine now.
-Really?

Yes, such an awesome mechanic.

Our business was thriving but
the competition was formidable...

...and we couldn't stay
competitive. So, I had to give up.

The machines are still in
working condition, right?

Sure, when the demand was high,
the machines were running 24 hours.

There is absolutely no issues and
we offer a full guarantee on that.

I don't frequent this place.
Raman oversaw the entire unit.

He also owns two sawmills,
where he dedicates all his focus.

That's why we had to shut down,
and I had face the brunt for it.

I had been working
here for 30 years.

I can't sleep without the smell of
coriander powder and chili powder.

Raman is also in
great working condition.

If you are buying the mill
take him along for free. Come.

The packing machines
are on the other side.

I will show you.

It has been only 5 years since
we had installed these equipment.

We maintain it well too.

Did you come from Dubai
to run this powder mill?

My Uber is better than this.

It may appear ordinary now,
but once we embark on it,...

...things will transform
and become more vibrant.

In my mind, the machines here
are up and running already.

Go inside.
-Please.

"Happy Birthday to you!"

Carefully handle
tomorrow's responsibilities.

Yes, sir.
-Ensure that the entire team...

...is assembled on time.
-Yes, sir.

If there's anything else,
I should be informed.

Yes, sir.
-Can you come soon?

We need to pass the gift to mother.
-You carry on.

A gift to mother from us,
an Italian massage chair.

Wow, great.
-You can quit exercising.

Just sit on this chair
for fifteen minutes...

...as it gives a full body massage
and your knee pain will vanish.

This is our gift.

Isn't it time to
change your specs?

From now onwards, use this.

When I was studying in Maharaja's
college, I had a friend there.

Every Sunday, he used to wake up
early, take bath and get ready...

...and go to auditoriums
where grand weddings were held.

He would have a sumptuous meal,
blesses the couple,...

...and even hands them a gift
before leaving the hall.

Only when they open the gift at
night, they'll realize the truth.

It might be some
frivolous stuffs.

When I gave my gift,
you had to remember this story.

I remember him whenever I see
someone gifting something.

I think he's in Canada,
USA or somewhere else.

Let's have dinner then.
-Yes, for sure. Come, Nandan.

Come, mother.
Mother, sit here.

Aren't you having dinner?
-Yes, one second.

You also sit.
-Yes, I will sit.

Give me a plate.
-Hello?

The phone was in silent mode.
I didn't realize it.

When?

Goodness gracious.
We will be there soon.

What happened?

Lorens's wife suffered
a burn in the kitchen.

Goodness gracious.
-Come, let's go.

They will manage it.
Have your dinner and leave.

We will eat later. Come, Appu.

Please continue with dinner.
I'm sorry.

Poor soul, she burnt
Lorens's wife for nothing.

He remembered his old 'fraud'
friend when he saw my gift.

If I had stayed any longer, I would
have to hear more of his boasting.

It's not like we were
desperate for the food there.

Your mother is so sensitive.
Benny may be boastful,...

...but he takes nothing to heart.
Your mother's way to escape...

...cost me
a good non-vegetarian meal.

This is fresher,
and it also tastes wonderful.

Heard that?
-As usual,...

...mother-daughter
is one team now and I'm out.

Excuse me, where can I find
Pravasi masala powder?

Sir, the masala powders
are in that section.

There? I need that specific brand.
Pravasi masala powders.

It's simply delicious.

Let me check then.
-Okay.

The listed stock should
be lined up in front.

Excuse me, where can I find
the Pravasi masala powder?

Pravasi?
-It's new to the market.

I have used it and it tasted
very authentic so I prefer that.

Sir, here it is.
-Yes. This is it.

This? This is the first time I'm
hearing good things about this.

Sir, you should buy this
and use it in your home...

...and you'll not
settle for anything else.

Okay.

Where's the manager?
-He's there.

Sorry, I didn't see you.
-You should be careful then.

Okay, sorry.
-Bloody stranger.

Good morning.
-Good morning.

I had kept some of my
products here last month.

I would like to receive
the payment for the same.

Which are your product?
-Don't you recognise me?

I'm Nandan,
Pravasi curry powder's owner.

I see, okay.

In the last one month,
only one piece got sold.

That's not possible.
We are receiving great feedbacks.

People should begin using it and
you should promote it effectively.

The competition is very strong.
-Aren't other products adulterated?

Sawdust in coriander powder and
brick powder in chili powder.

My product is entirely organic.
-We did not promise...

...our customers that
we only sell organic products.

You may add sawdust, brick powder
or any adulterant you wish...

...but people should buy it.
We can't make the payment...

...without selling them.
-I see.

Here you go.
My marketing proof for the day.

I also present it nicely to
the passengers boarding my car.

How's that?
-I start a chat with them.

Gradually, I'll chat
about Pravasi curry powder.

Lorens, it's a humongous market.

Your small techniques
won't be enough there.

Don't discourage me.
Let me do my bit.

Without an different plan,
the outcome won't be significant.

Please have it.

It's not fair that Nandan
is having just orange juice.

Especially when we
sit for a drink.

There is some exquisite wine.
Shall I take it?

No, this will do.
-Okay.

The supermarket manager suggested
more effective advertising.

If someone whom the
public trusts well.

If someone the public trusts
explains about our product,...

...I believe it'll be effective.
-Exactly,...

...like celebrities or film actors.
-I don't have the budget to...

...do publicity with celebrities
-Film actor, Sreenivasan...

...is a supporter of organic food.
-Right, why don't we try that?

That's a possibility.
Besides, when he came...

...for Pravasi Associatio
program in Ajman previously,...

...I welcomed him. He might
not have forgotten that.

Good morning, sir.
-Good morning.

I'm Nandan. Nandakumar.
I was working in Dubai.

Do you recognize me?
About 10 years ago...

...when you attended a function
in Ajman, I welcomed you.

Do you remember me now?
-How can I forget...

...a person who welcomed me
in some function 10 years ago?

I was thinking about you
today morning at 9.30 AM.

I mean, I left Dubai and now
I have started a business...

...on organic curry powder.
Aren't you an supporter of that?

I don't endorse anything.
I just wish that people...

...get to eat unadulterated food.
-That's my intention too.

Take a look at this,
it's 100 percent organic.

If you have any doubts,
you can take this to...

...the laboratory in NASA
and get it tested.

Where?
-The NASA laboratory in America.

Nandan, I have an idea.
Take these powders to the NASA,...

...get them tested
and bring back the results.

Sir, I mean, it's very authentic.
-Pravasi,...

...an apt name for masala powder
-Isn't it better than...

...the Dakshayani biscui
in the film Midhunam, sir?

I was very active in
the Pravasi association.

Hence, many people address
me 'Pravasi Nandan' too.

That's a reason behind the name.
-Awesome.

I'm keeping all these here. Please
request your wife to use them...

...and give me feedback
when I come again.

I don't need so much.
-Let it be there.

I don't wish to waste your time.
You may resume the writing.

Did you click this picture?
-Yes, I did.

From what you've said,
this smile is special.

Yes, it's special, right?
Even I thought so.

But considering the exaggeration
you normally possess,...

...this is a normal smile.
Girls are naturally candid.

No, with the help of my spies,
I spied on her group.

And?
-They think I'm funny.

Really?
-Yes.

Despite that, if she removed me
from Instagram, it says a lot.

It just means one thing,
"not interested".

Give it to me. Enough.

I don't need a sister's
support in this. We will elope.

Elope it seems. You will be
kicked out of this house thereon.

Everything will be okay
after our first child.

May your dad also know the joke?
-Has the legal age for marriage...

...been reduced now, dad?
-For whom? You or him?

Sister has found someone, dad.
She plans to elope with him.

The restlessness to answer
quickly is evident enough.

You're the culprit.
-That's right.

Clear your entrance exam first.

If she gives me the green light,
I will latch on to it.

She knows it well and
that's why she's avoiding you.

Come on! Pass! Pass!

What I said happened
exactly as I said it that day.

You should have seen his reaction
thereafter. It was so funny.

Hi, can you come
a little forward?

I'm not as crazy
as you think I am.

I'm not as crazy
as you think I am.

My dad is a famous advocate
in the high court.

Even though mom is a homemaker,
she has completed BA.

I have an elder sister who
will be a doctor in two years.

Why are you explaining it to me?

I wanted to brief you
about my family.

Since I'm from such a family,
even if I try,...

...I can never be a crazy.
I swear, it's a fact.

Sister, can you please
move a little?

Sister, you too.
Aparna, please don't move.

Since your uncle teaches
at the coaching centre,...

...I can't talk to you there
Since I completed my plus-2...

...three years back
the school isn't safe either.

I can get caught anytime, besides
they may think I'm a stalker.

However hard I try,
I can never be that.

Hey! Are you studying
in this school?

I told you, didn't I?
They caught me.

No, sir, I was around,
so I came in to meet them.

Get going then.
Girls, come down.

Girls, go fast. Speed up.
Aparna,...

...can you add me on Instagram?
-I will think about it.

Okay, that will do.

Get out.
-Yes, I'm leaving.

Just remove the grass.
Don't pull out the plant.

Good morning, sir. Started
gardening early in the morning?

I was planning to call you.
You don't need to test your...

...powder in NASA labs. The
turmeric powder and chili powder...

...was fantastic.
It had a homemade taste.

Even my wife, Vimala,
liked it so much.

It's God's blessing to receive
such a feedback from you.

Don't credit God for that.
It's the result of your sincerity.

Completely unadulterated
masala powder. That's how I felt.

Sir, can you repeat this
on the phone camera?

My wife and factory workers
will be so delighted.

Is that necessary?
-Please, sir.

We have been eating poison,
instead of food for many years.

A point to note is that,
poisonous ingredients...

...are imported and fed to us.

The significance of Nandan's
Pravasi Masala powder lies there.

I'm saying this only
after using it myself.

My best wishes to
the team of Pravasi.

Great, this is
the advertisement we need...

...but there's no point if you
keep that video on your phone.

People should watch it. When
someone of Sreenivasan's stature...

...speaks with such sincerity,
people will surely believe him.

They will come in search
of Pravasi curry powder.

That's right. If we do that,
there will be an uplift.

What should I do now?
-Leave it to me.

This video will be
released on social media.

Digital marketing is the trend now.

We need to edit this video and make
it viral. I will take care of it.

It's an enquiry from a
supermarket group in Dubai.

They have around 30 outlets.

The purchase manager is
an old friend of mine.

If an outlet can
sell 5 packets a day,...

...it will total to
150 packets a daily.

If people start recognizing
the quality of our product,...

...the narrative will change.
-May the narrative change.

Let Pravasi Nandan become
a big shot industrialist.

The guava is good.
Did you give it to Appu?

I will give it to her.
-Come then.

Cookie.
Cookie.

Don't bite me. Don't bite.

Appu, have some of these.

What are you doing?
Why are you playing with...

...the puppy on the dining table?
We eat from here, don't we?

I will remove it by then.
-It's biting the banana.

Take it away. Haven't I told you
not to bring it inside the house?

Dad, isn't the puppy
a living being like us?

Like us? It's a puppy.
We built a cage for it outside.

Yesterday, it lied on the sofa
and its fur was all over the place.

Such nauseating smell.

Dear, please take it
to the cage outside...

...and wash your hands
and body with soap.

Go, make it fast.
Yes, take it and go.

Good girl.
She is very obedient.

Hey! Hey! Hey!
Why are you going upstairs?

I will take it to my
room and play with it.

Appu, when I tell you something,
why are you so stubborn?

Take it to the cage.
-Appu, take it to the cage.

Listen to what your Dad says.
-Go.

Is the script in place?
-Yes, it is.

You can check on it.
-Hello?

Sethu? How do you do?

What? Advertisement?

I haven't acted in
any advertisement.

No, that was not meant
for an advertisement.

Let the video go viral.
That's not an issue for me.

Ani, do me a favour and forward
the video to my WhatsApp number.

After Sreenivasan's video,
there is a definite upsurge.

Let there be further upsurge.
We should increase our production.

Goodness, it's Mr. Sreenivasan.
Sir, I was just talking about you.

Today evening?

Oh yes, I'm totally free today.

Okay, sure.

He just called to see you.
He is not offering you...

...a role in a film, is he?
-You never know.

He invited me to his
home in the evening.

Anyway, he has genuinely felt
some attachment to me.

You know, grand tales of great
friendship begin like this.

Sreenivasan
is the only celebrity...

...from the film industry
whom I wanted to meet in person.

Why don't you follow me too?

Not just you, Appu can come too.

He might not like it.
You should go and meet him.

Sreenivasan is a completely
different person to what...

...we see on screen. He is
extremely friendly. Get ready.

Why are you taking
all these plants?

Those who are interested in
organic farming, love plants.

You drive the car.
-No way, you drive.

See, that's your dad's ego.
The false pride is due to...

...the fact that my family
gifted this car to me.

Not at all, my Indian
driving license is expired.

Besides, if you want to transfer
Dubai license to Indian license,...

...there are a lot of formalities
at the road transport department.

I'm just waiting to get
some free time to do that.

I don't have any ego otherwise.
-Just wait and see, Appu.

Until he buys his own car,
he won't renew his license.

Just drive.

Vanakkam, sir.
-Yes.

You may receive a
legal notice soon.

I called you
to inform you about it.

Goodness, why, sir?

Who gave you permission to
misuse my personal statement...

...and use it as an advertisement
for your masala powder?

Sir, I didn't advertise it.

I just shared it among my
family and friends' groups.

You can explain that in the court.

I'm going to file a
cheating case against you.

As per IPC 420, you may receive
imprisonment for 3 to 7 years.

Adding cyber crimes along with it,
you may get another two years.

Thereafter, you can process your
masala powder inside the jail.

Sorry, sir, I will
delete it immediately.

I was not aware of all these.
Sorry.

Sir, they are my wife and daughter.

Both of them wanted to meet you
so I brought them along.

I will ask them to delete it now.

We were friends in
Ajman many years ago.

Hence, I was just
pulling his leg.

Goodness, I got really scared.
-Hello? Hello? Hello, Lorens?

The line got disconnected.
When I get him over the phone,...

...I will delete it
within five minutes.

There's no need to
delete it anymore.

Everyone has seen it already but
never compromise on the quality.

That will never happen, sir.

Pravasi won't produce a
single adulterated product.

That's enough.
-Okay.

Sir, can we have a selfie?
-Sure.

Let's take a selfie and have
some coffee too before you leave.

These are a few saplings of pepper.

Is Nandan not a part
of this family?

That's all.
It will be over soon.

It's done. Good.

Don't worry.
You can take it.

Thank you, doctor.
-Okay, welcome.

Get in here.
-Come, dear.

Lost your job in Dubai?
-I didn't lose it, I left it.

I see.

Did you get Cookie vaccinated?
-Your dad took him to the clinic.

Didn't he take the car?
-He won't take that car, you know.

Where is Cookie?
-Here it is.

Where did it go?

Did you throw it away?
-No! It was right here.

Where did it go then?

I stopped at the junction
to give directions to a car.

It might have jumped out then.
I will bring it back right away.

Don't stare at me.
I will bring it back for sure.

Get changed. Dad will find it.

Auto? Auto?

Auto? Auto?
Please stop!

Hello, police station?

Appu, eat something.

It's not like starving
yourself will bring Cookie home.

I was a little careless.
I'm sorry.

It's just a puppy, right?
We can buy a better puppy.

If you lose me, will you buy
another daughter just like me?

Are you like a puppy to us?

Cookie is as important
to me as I'm to you.

You don't get it.
-Sheesh.

It was an innocent
mistake, darling.

I'm sure that
he intentionally did it.

He always says that he would
throw it away, didn't he?

When he got a chance, he did it.

Why did I bother take
the puppy for vaccination?

Julie, I swear, I just stopped for
two minutes to give directions.

Who would expect it
to jump out by then?

Why did you take the scooter?
Wasn't there a car here?

You won't take it. You have ego.
It's mom's property, isn't it?

Stop it.
Don't have a run at your mouth.

I have been running around,
trying to make ends meet...

...and all you care
is about your puppy.

I don't like it.
It's such a miserable being.

I threw it away.
-Yes, just admit it.

Yes, I agree.
-Please stop this.

I was about to share
a happy news.

I wanted to make it a surprise,
in everyone's presence.

That's when both of you are
fighting with each other.

I'm not saying it now.

What's the matter, Julie?

If something makes you happy,
it should delight me too, right?

I received a job offer
memorandum from the TNPC today.

They instructed me to join work.

You should have mentioned this
earlier. Where is the job posting?

Dindigul, at the Collectorate
but I'm not going.

Why not?
-If you both are fighting...

...even in my presence, how can I
possibly go leaving you two here?

That's just a.....
-I have decided that I'm not going.

It was my biggest dream
to get a government job.

A proud moment to
prove to my family...

...that my life choices was right.
Probably, I'm not destined for it.

Julie.

Is my silly fight with Appu a
reason for you to give up your job?

You have faced a great
deal of humiliation...

...just because
I'm just a workshop mechanic.

This appointment is your final
chance on the TNPC rank list,...

...akin to winning a lottery.
It's a proud moment for you.

It's not just that. How long have
we lived together after marriage?

If not now, when are
we going to do it?

More than the job, I value
our new life and our small world.

That's enough for me.
-That's true.

Let's not see this job
as an extra income...

...but as a result
of your hard work.

It's your pride.
The only concern is that...

...the job posting is
somewhat distant, isn't it?

If you get transferred here,
the problem will be solved.

Come what may, I won't allow
you to let this job slip away.

I'm rich enough to hire a taxi.
It's still not late.

Why do you need a taxi when there
is only one person travelling?

Besides, this is safer.
-It's a long journey.

Appu has exams, right?
As and when I reach there,...

...Uncle Xavier and aunt
will be there at the bus station.

Don't worry about me.

If your dad fights with you,
just pick up your phone...

...and leave a voice note to me
Even if I'm far, I'm still...

...capable of handling your dad.

In the name of the father,
the son and holy spirit.

Amen.
-Let's pray.

Dear God, the most
powerful and benevolent.

Bless us with a bountiful life.

Dear God, by dissolving
the holy spirit within you...

...through Jesus, the son
of God and our lord,...

...please accept our prayers
that we present before you.

Amen.

Our father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.

May your kingdom come.

May your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins, as we forgive
those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptation.

Mom, I called you
many times today.

Appu, forget picking up the phone
I hardly have time to breathe here.

There's no work hours around here.
At times I work till dusk.

Didn't you say that
Dindigul is a beautiful place?

Yes, beautiful it seems.
I can't even see the sky here.

Time ticks like the clock that's
attached to the time-bomb.

We can't relax one bit here.
-Enjoy your dream, mom.

Yes. Who will drop you
home after the prayer?

Dad said that he will
come and pick me up.

Dad won't eat there.
-Madam.

Although he loves the food.
Ask Grandma to pack some food...

...for your Dad too.
-Grandma already did it.

Will you call me at night?
-Yes, I will call you.

Juliet.
-Yes, sir.

Every one of us here
has a mobile phone...

...but we don't use it
during the office hours.

Sorry, sir.

Hey, you can send messages.

He only notices you
talking over the phone.

Hi! Don't they recognise me?

With these prayers and
other Christian rituals,...

...looks like your mom's
family is influencing you?

You have decided to let me decide
once I reach 18 years, right?

So let me decide then, whether
to be a Hindu or a Christian?

That's correct.

Nevertheless, from my
observation so far,...

...Christian rituals
are classy and elegant.

Goodness, our rituals
are much more beautiful.

Once you take bath,
apply thiruneer, light the lamp...

...and stand in front of God,
the peace and happiness obtained...

...is indescribable. Oh Lord.
-What an act of canvassing.

You don't even bathe, what
would you know about spirituality?

Please make a special tea now.
Let me test your skills.

It won't be special when someone
who doesn't bath makes tea.

So, make it yourself.
-Lazy bum.

I have a lot to
study and write.

When will I complete them?
Oh my Jesus!

I'm sorry, dad.
-It's okay, dear.

Dairy milk.
-Okay.

Have you changed the phone pattern?
-Why?

I want to call a friend. She
unknowingly blocked my number.

Make the call through WhatsApp.
-I'm blocked there too.

Instagram?
-That too.

Understood. The same girl?
-Yes.

Shameless fellow! Why try to
woo her when she has blocked you?

There's no enmity here.
When we were chatting,...

...I unknowingly said,
"I love you".

Unknowingly? I love you?
-Yes.

-Tell me the number.
-9895133776.

Can you repeat it slowly?
-9895133776.

Have this. Come.

Come, here you go.

Eat it.

Hello?
-Hi, Aparna.

I'm Sangeetha,
your fanboy Rohit's sister.

Please don't disconnect the call.
I will pass the phone to him.

I promise that he won't go
overboard. Maintain decorum.

Hello?
-Getting your family involved?

When you blocked me,
I felt so helpless.

So, I had to solve the problem.
-Don't waste your time, Rohit.

I'm a little old school.
-Old School?

Yes, this is a waste of time.
When it's the right time,...

...my parents will give me options
based on my like and dislikes.

Then I'll pick the best from them.
Pretty simple, right?

What if I'm better than the best?
-My parents should feel the same.

All right. Hereon, my efforts
to impress them have commenced.

If you want to impress my mom,
you might have to go Dindigul.

My dad is here. Superficially,
he may appear as a soft person...

...but he is a tough person.
-We can soften him.

I'll be that special son-in-law
every father-in-law dreams of.

Okay, son-in-law, carry on.
I'm a little busy here.

Please don't cut the call. I may
not get hold of my sister's phone.

She's a little short tempered.
So please, can you unblock me?

Let me think about it.

Yes, it's better now.

I didn't expect such a fast
growth in such a short time.

People have an eye
on good products, sir.

We just have to be
a little patient. That's all.

Do you have Pravasi
coriander powder?

I had communicated to Arun.
Once I find the time,...

...I will come and visit you.
-All right Nandan, see you.

Where can you find
Pravasi chili powder?

Yes, Brother Ramu. They left?

Why can't they
wait till I reach there?

Never mind, let them go.

Shift Murali from dispatch
to the packing section.

Ungrateful fellows.
-What happened, sir?

Without any prior notice, a worker
in the factory suddenly vanished.

I employed the locals to
give them a job opportunity...

...but nobody is sincere enough.
-We mostly employ outsiders here.

That's the best choice.
If any Bengalis or Biharis...

...come here in search of a job,
please direct them to my place.

Sir, here's the pravasi
product you asked for.

Pravasi? Which Pravasi?
I didn't ask for it. Keep it back.

Akshaya Supermarket?
-Irumbupalam.

Irumbupalam?
-Valparai.

Where are Rajiv and Suraj?
-Both are on leave today.

Apparently, it's their friend's
sister's wedding today.

So, the load to Valparai
won't go today.

Why can't we employ people who
don't have friends and family?

I was going to talk about the same.
A Bengali is waiting outside,...

...in search of a job
-How's he?

He looks like a good guy.
-Okay, how is your Hindi?

My Hindi is poor.
-Even my Hindi is poor.

Anyway, call him.
-There's a guy standing outside.

Call him inside.

He's the owner of this company.
-Greetings, sir.

Please give me your blessings.
-No need of that.

What's your name?

My name? Rabindra.
Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

There's a lot of work here.
-Yes, sir, not a problem.

Actually,.....
How do you say it?

I know a little bit of Tamil, sir.
So, please don't worry.

That's nice.
-You don't look like a labourer.

Actually, I'm a student.
My ambition is to become a doctor.

I'm repeating
the medical entrance exams.

My father works as a security in
a shop. He has very little money.

In order to pay my fees
I badly need a job, sir.

Good. Very good.
-I have big dreams, sir.

What are they?
-After completing my MBBS,...

...I would like
to join civil service.

Your dreams are ambitious.
-Yes, I have bigger dreams, sir.

What are those 'bigger' dreams?

I will reveal that to you
once I complete MBBS and IAS.

Yes, apart from MBBS and IAS,
If you are dishonest around here...

...you will regain consciousness
only after reaching Bengal.

Understand?
-Understood, sir.

What was your name again?
-Rabindra. Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

Please show the work here
to Mr. Chadopadhyaya.

Come with me boy.
For anyone who doesn't...

...know Tamil, we jus
need to communicate in any way.

Come with me.
-Wait a minute.

Now you may leave.
-First you must pack all these.

Okay, sir.

Are you studying and
sleeping together?

I fell asleep involuntarily.
-Have the juice.

You will feel better.

We should go for on a tour
around India next year.

Where to?
-Not to any tourist destination...

...but to understand how
students from different places...

...are toiling hard to earn
their living and education.

Today, a Bengali boy joined
for work in the factory.

Not just to earn a
living for his family,...

...his ambition is
to become a doctor.

He works hard and earns
the expenses for his studies.

If you give me pocket money,
I will also work after my class.

This is funny for you...

...but my eyes welled up
when I heard his stories.

He wants to join the civil
service after completing MBBS.

He studies in the middle of
turmeric powder and chili powder...

...in the limited time
he gets between work.

Desires are the biggest
ambitions of human beings.

Doesn't he have
the face of success?

What's his name?
-Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

He hails from Tagore's after all.
Might have been named after him.

He's a handsome guy.
Have your drink and then study.

Why are you coughing and
sneezing out of the blue?

I don't know.

It might be the stress of
the entrance exams.

Yes. After your steam inhalation,
have this dried ginger coffee.

Sure, I will.
-Go to bed early tonight.

Hello?
-(Bengali) How are you?

What?
-(Bengali) How are you?

Doesn't Mr. Chadopadhyaya
understand Bengali?

Yes, I understood.
I have been sneezing since noon.

At least learn enough
Bengali to scream out loud...

...when you get beaten up

My father-in-law seems so kind.

I have powdered tons
of love for him today.

So, do you intend to live
as a Bengali from here on?

For a while, there will be
a moment when he wishes...

...that I'm a Tamil and
I will reveal the truth then.

Most probably, that will
be your last moment too.

Don't try to scare me.
Chadopadhyaya won't falter.

Sorry. I just sneezed.

Anyway, if you remain alive,
see you again. Good night.

Brother Ramu, please
check the packing section.

I will handle this.
-Please tighten the nuts.

Sir, have some water.
-Give it to me.

May I come in, sir?
-Yes.

You're late today too.

(Hindi) I had a lot of work.

What?
-I had chores to do, sir.

Okay, let's continue.

Given, the mass of the planet is
three times the mass of the earth.

Then, the diameter.....

Hey, silence.

If you come in, I shall make
a special Dubai-tea for you.

Have the Dubai-tea yourself.
I have a cab booking.

See you at night.
-Can't you have a break on Sundays?

I took the entire
week off last week.

Don't just blabber.
I don't believe you.

Guys, this is my Dad.

Hi. Hi uncle.
-Hi.

These are my friends.
Maansi, my best friend...

...but that doesn't mean that rest
of them aren't my best friends.

All of them are my best friends.

If you had mentioned earlier,
I would have ordered some food.

That's okay uncle, we ordered
the food and have eaten.

It was a small house party.
-We were having group study.

We have an exam next week.
We were preparing for that.

Okay, you guys carry on.
Let me just.....

We are leaving uncle. It's late.
-Is it?

Bye.
-Bye. See you.

Please take my bag. Bye uncle.
-Bye.

I'm taking this uncle.
-Yes, okay.

Okay. Bye.
-Let me know when you reach home.

Yes, sure.
-Bye, uncle.

These days, it's common to have
group studies and meet ups.

Why are you panicking for
such menial issues, dear?

I'm not panicking.
I don't think it's necessary...

...to have such intimacy with boys.

Kids these days are much
more progressive than us.

They behave with so much freedom
because they aren't fake about it.

That's true.
-You really scared me with...

...the continuous missed calls.
I was held up in packing.

I left Uncle Xavier place.
-Oh, I see.

By the time I reach
back from office,...

...aunty would have made dinner
and cleaned the kitchen.

I was unable to help
her even one bit.

I was more like a guest there.

Fathima's roommate shifted out
of the room at the right time.

So, I packed my bags
immediately and came here.

I was planning to call
you once I get settled here.

To be honest, I'm fed up
with this busy schedule, dear.

I miss you and our home.

But parents should keep an
eye on their kids' affairs.

Why are you installing
the CCTV here all of a sudden?

It's for our security, Appu.

If there was CCTV on the day
the robber broke into...

...our house, I could have
seen it on my mobile from Dubai.

Big deal! Were you going
to watch the CCTV all the time?

Even if you had seen it,
you would have just panicked...

...but not do anything else.
-But now, I'm here.

Whatever happens here, I will
be watching from my factory.

Brother Ram, these bills
are computerized, right?

Yes, they have been digitised.

Come with me.

What?
-(Hindi) Is that your daughter?

Yes.
-She's very pretty.

What did you say?

(Hindi) If the dad is handsome,
the daughter will also be pretty.

Carry on with your work.

Go on. www.1TamilMV.phd

When you reach a turning, you
should put the indicator, okay?

Just like that.
Make the turn and drive smooth.

Okay.

Is this the reason you
took her out for ice-cream?

Are you in your senses, dad?

If you let under-aged kids drive,
their parents will be penalized.

But she drives well.
-I'm sure she does.

Didn't mom tell you not to drive
until you get your license?

Why are you so stubborn
and disobedient?

Come in, dear. I have
prepared your favourite food.

All of you have pampered her
so much and have spoilt her.

Can you cut it out?
What's the issue here?

Didn't she drive with an aged
person like you alongside her?

If she had crashed somewhere,
who would take the responsibility?

Hey! Wait up. Appu!

Dear, here's your ice-cream.
-Go and bring her back.

Hop on.
-I can walk.

I said, hop in now.

Please do it slowly, Appu.

Teenage is the time when
your character gets molded.

If you don't control your
anger and disobedience now,...

...then you may never change.

I had no issues
before you came here.

I see. So, it's my problem?
-Yes, may be.

You have not been reprimanded
for the past 14 years,...

...and I think I have
do it all together now.

I'm not having dinner tonight.
Good night.

Appu.

Appu, you haven't
taken your lunch box.

Appu.

Here you go.

Yes?
-I'm thinking of going...

...home this weekend. Perhaps,
you can grant me leave on Monday?

Not just Monday,
no one's going to get leave...

...even on Saturday and Sunday.

All of you are assigned
duty in the relief camp.

I haven't been separated from
my daughter for this long.

That's why I'm asking, sir.

Why couldn't you stay home
and look after your child?

Did anyone of us mandate
you to work here?

This office is also
an emergency centre.

Please keep that in mind.
Please come inside.

Have you got Tahsildar's signature?
-Yes, sir.

Don't go back to
the company now.

Take the vehicle home
and bring it tomorrow.

I shall inform Brother Ramu.
-Okay, sir.

Why are the lights not turned on?
Appu!

Appu!

"The number you have dialled
is currently switched off."

I received a few guests today.

Moreover, you didn't inform me
that you would be late today.

So, I didn't go there.
-I can't get her on the phone too.

She might be there at
some friend's place.

Yes, obviously. Please inform
Lorens when he comes home.

When your mom walked out of this
house, leaving us in dismay...

...there were many who
suggested us to react strongly.

The commissioner and the MLA
were our father's friends.

We could have just informed them.

But do you know what our
father told us that day?

We shouldn't do anything
that might hurt her.

That's the culture
of this family.

Culture and legacy of a family
aren't born in thin air.

Fundamentally, one needs to be
well educated to achieve that.

As you know, we are the children
of Professor Vincent.

Aunty Bindu got a job as soon
as she completed her MTech.

Now, she's the executive
engineer in the water authority.

Look at me, I'm a double
post-graduate and possess a PhD.

You mother was also
brilliant in her studies...

...but she's just a graduate.

Who's responsible for it?
Your father.

When I speak about your father,
I can't help saying this.

He just completed
his tenth standard.

Then he arranged a certificate
from ITI or something,...

...and then fled
to Dubai just as a mechanic.

The culture difference
will be evident in his...

...character and parenting.

Nandan is here.

But you should
understand one thing.

Your father has the heart
of gold, filled with love.

He is scolding you and advising
you, only for your good.

You're lucky to have
such a father, right?

You have a long life.

I was telling them about
how a father should be.

I'm sure you did, I heard you.

If you were coming here, why didn't
you just call and inform me Appu?

Did she come here
without informing you?

Dear, that's really bad.

Come on, Appu. Let's go.
-Let her stay here tonight.

I will drop her home
in the morning.

No, that's not necessary.
It's not that late too.

Pick up the bag. Come.
-Dear, go with him.

Your father is calling you.
Go with him.

Appu.

Appu.

You're worrying for no reason.
I was with her till now, right?

I know her.

She has none of those problems
that you are worried about.

At times I feel, I shouldn't
have come back home.

Please don't say that.

Teenage brings about such changes.

Some will have such
mood swings every month.

At that time, they will
get angry for no reason.

They have a run at their mouth
but that will change soon.

If you handle her softly, Appu is
such an innocent girl, isn't she?

She just needs to know that you
love her and you care for her.

She's a nice girl.
She's our daughter.

You just calm down.

You should go to bed.

I miss you, mom.

I want to see you.

I just need you.

Don't cry, Appu.
I will come very soon.

Be a good girl and don't cry.
Please.

What happened?
-Vehicles can't go through.

Landslide ahead.

Today's Sunday, right? Please
stay ten minutes more, Fathima.

Shall we go and have
a cup of Horlicks then?

This is a hostel. The rest
of them are already teasing me.

Anyway, when you come
the next surprise visit,...

...come with a Horlicks bottle.
Please leave now.

How was your husband's
surprise visit?

He is one of those who adds
'sugar into the sugarcane juice'.

What's do you mean?

Those who are deeply in love.

He calls me
a dozen times every day.

We only get an off day on Sunday
and our time is limited.

That's when he comes
all the way on his bike.

My entire day is wasted.

Were you not in love
before you got married?

I was so naive and
I thought love is all we need.

Now I feel, I should have
delayed my marriage.

I'm kind of getting
bored of him.

Your case is entirely
different, right?

I was just 19 years old,
when I walked out of my home...

...to be with Nandan.
We haven't even confessed...

...our love for each other.
-Then?

Then came a moment when we couldn't
live without seeing each other.

We were not brave enough to
disclose it to our family.

I was so confused.
That was when Nandan told me,...

...we won't be
able to convince them...

...and that we can only live
happily and prove it to them.

The very next day, I left home.
-Well, I can't blame you.

Anyone will fall for that dialogue.

Initially we couldn't even
take our eyes off each other.

Then our daughter was born and she
became the centre of attention.

Nandan was everything to her.
He took care of her like a mother.

He would only hand her to me,
for breastfeeding.

That very person, told me
to take good care of her,...

...and went to Dubai for 15 years.

Everyone sees an expat's wife
in a condescending notion.

But only those who experience the
feeling, understand the real pain.

We dreamt of a life together,
but started living it much later.

That's when I had to come here.

So, just inform your "sugar cane
juice" to add less sugar.

After a point, you will be
missing his impromptu bike trips.

He just sent me a picture
of the Horlicks bottle.

I should give him a call.
He might not have gone far.

Boy, do one thing.
-Yes, sir?

Boss will be reaching soon.

Go and clean the computer table.
Do it fast.

I have a little work outside.
-Okay, sir.

When I look at you, I can't
see anything else around me.

Never mind, a little chili powder
had gone into my eyes. That's why.

Just kidding.
I will go to any extend for you.

My dad will be
waiting for you there.

He will kill you
in one knockout blow.

I don't care.
Your dad isn't a concern at all.

Chadopadhyaya.
-Your garden is very beautiful.

I was looking at the flower.

I'm sorry, sir.

I mean, I'm sorry, uncle.

I'm not a Bengali,
I'm a Tamil too.

My father is an advocate,
mother is a housewife.

My sister is an MBBS student.

I have been repeating entrance
exams for the last three years.

Apart from this, I don't
have anything else to say.

Aparna and I study at
the same coaching centre...

...but I'm three years elder to
her. By the way, I love her a lot.

I would like to marry her
but she said that...

...she won't consider me
unless her dad likes me.

That's when I thought of
this idea. Please don't kill me.

Carry on with your work.

You don't leave.
Sit here. Sit.

Dad, don't complaint about me not
getting into the kitchen hereafter.

I have prepared a superb
vegetable biriyani through YouTube.

What's the matter?
Not in a great mood?

Come and sit here.

Today, I fired Rabindra
Chadopadhyaya from the factory.

He's not like what I thought.
He is very cunning.

Didn't you say that
he was very smart?

He's smart
but he's a little too smart.

Just like you. Both of you
made a fool out of me.

Don't blame me for that.

It was his sole idea to impress
you by working there.

Is spite of knowing that,
why didn't you mention it to me?

I thought it was just a
funny attempt by a friend.

How can I betray him then?

What's so funny about making
a fool out of your father?

Why are you taking it
so seriously, dad?

He's not a bad guy.

Appu, you have the freedom to
express anything to us, don't you?

If this guy was stalking you or
the fact that he was fooling me...

...you could have told me, right?
I could have taken it lightly too.

But this was a total mockery on me.

Dad, you're talking as
if you completely don't trust me.

How do I trust you, Appu?

Didn't I directly introduce
him to you at the factory?

Both of you acted well
in front of me then.

How can I take it lightly?

Didn't you guys chat today?

Show me your phone.

Let me check who your friends are
and what you're chatting with them.

Nobody has the right to infringe
into someone else's privacy.

This isn't anyone else,
I'm your father.

Let go of the phone.
Appu, listen to me.

Leave it to me.

Appu.

Hey, Appu.

Where are you going?
-I can't live with someone...

...who doesn't trust me.
-Appu, don't take the car.

I don't need your permission
to take this car.

My mom's family
bought her this car.

Appu!
Appu, stop!

Appu? Appu?
You're not hurt, are you?

No, but.....
-But?

There was someone
in front of the car.

I saw him fall off
after the crash.

Appu.

Appu, please hold this.

Appu, get into the car.
-Dad, where are we going?

First, let's take
him to a hospital. Come.

Won't it be against the law.
I don't have a license.

You were not driving, I was.
That's what we will say. Come.

But you don't have a license too.

It's Nandan.

Hello?

What?

What happened?

Don't panic.

You go directly to
Doctor Simon's hospital.

Yes. If they can't recognize you,
just introduce yourself.

I will call and talk to them.

No. Don't worry.
I'm coming there.

I will take care of it.
-What happened?

Bring my shirt.

There are no internal bleeding
or any such complications.

Luckily.
-There's a ligament injury...

...in the hand an
I have bandaged the same.

We shall observe him for
some time before letting him go.

Uncle, you are also a doctor.
Just take care of him.

Doesn't your dad come here?

Yes. He has OP in the morning
and leaves after that.

After that I manage it here.
-Okay. Thank you doctor.

He's happy.

Please forgive us.

We have no idea who you're
and where you're from.

It was a mistake.
Please forgive us.

We shall do anything for you.

Kokila?

Doctor, he's conscious now...

...but he's blabbering and
I have no idea what he's saying.

Don't worry about it.
His scans are all normal.

This is a post-concussion symptom.
There will be a slight memory loss.

It will be fine anytime soon.
Wait for another two days.

If it's still a problem,
contact me then.

Okay?
-Okay.

Dad.

He's singing, dad.

You were injured yesterday.
How's the pain?

He's saying he doesn't
remember how this happened.

How did you understand that?
-Google translator.

Okay.
-Kokila, my dear.

Please go make
two cups of tea for them.

Come and sit.
-No, I will come.

Come and sit.
-Yes, I will come later.

She will make the tea.
-Just a minute.

When did he wake up?
-He woke up a long time ago.

I checked on him when I repeatedly
heard him calling "Kokila".

He asked for a tea and
he has been blabbering ever since.

He's saying that,
I'm his daughter, Kokila.

Kokila.

Go.

What do we do now?
-Nanda.

I have a suggestion.
-What?

Forget it.
-Dad, he needs another shirt.

A shirt of this size?
Give one of my shirts.

Dad.

Come here.

Is he crazy?
-Let's not take the risk.

It's better to inform the police.
We have done the needed, right?

We might get into a fix.
If a report is lodged,...

...we will be in trouble,
including Appu,

If this is a memory loss like
the doctor said, we shall wait.

Once the memory returns,
we can handle him somehow.

Dad, I got this
from his shirt's pocket.

It's a bill from a wine shop.

Meghna Wines.

Arthanahalli.

Sir, vanakkam.

Greetings, do you want a banana?
-No thanks. You may have it.

Karnataka?
-Hail Karnataka.

Yes, hail Karnataka.

A place in Karnataka.
Arthanahalli?

Arthanahalli?
-Yes, Arthanahalli.

He's remembering.

In Arthanahalli,
how about wines?

You mean drinks?
I'm always ready.

I shall buy some drinks.
-Were you expecting company?

I wasn't talking about
having liquor now.

I was asking about
Meghna Wines in Arthanahalli.

What are you saying?
I don't understand anything.

How will I make him understand?

Meghna Wines in Arthanahalli?
-Tell me the rest of it.

Stop laughing and bring my phone.
-Hey.

Do not raise your voice at her.
She's my daughter.

Please give me my phone.

Can I click a picture?

You want a picture?
-Yes.

Selfie?
-Yes.

Dad?
-Yes, my dad.

Give it to me.

Come, dad. Very nice.

Arthanahalli?
-Yes.

Do you know him?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Wait. I just want to know
whether he's from this place?

I don't know.
-Brother. Wait.

What's going on?

Sir, please come.
Do you want tea or coffee?

Do you know him?

Sir, we are poor people.
Please don't bother us. Go away.

Actually, I just want to know
whether he's from this place.

Sir, please leave us alone.
I have no idea who he is, sir.

Please leave us, sir.
I'm getting scared.

He's not a good guy.
Please go sir.

Please don't trouble us, sir.
Please, sir.

I beg you. Please leave.
-Okay.

Brother, can you please
tell me who this is?

Look man, don't spoil my
mood in the morning. Please go.

Thank God. He's a Tamil.

What do you want to know?
-I want to know about a person.

No one is helping me out.
-Are you a police officer?

No, I'm not.
Do you know who this is?

This is Garuda Naik, the most
notorious gangster in Arthanahalli.

Goodness gracious.
-Even the Police is scared of him.

Do you want to see the fight
which happened last week?

Come. I will show you.

The police installed
the camera here.

Can I have a soda?
-Yes.

He previously held a high-paying
position at a company in Bangalore.

Then he lost his way.

Now, his primary job is accepting
contracts for assassinations.

He receives such contracts
from both Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

He carries out all
these tasks single-handedly.

It's been a while since
we have heard about him.

God knows where he is.

After Julie left, nobody waters
the plants nor cleans the area.

Both father and
daughter are useless.

Where's he?
-He has been playing with...

...Appu since morning.
He's her new father, right?

He is tying a swing for
her behind the house.

You left my daughter alone with him
and are watering the plants here?

How responsible of you!
Please hold this.

Appu, go inside.

How many times have I told
you not to yell at my daughter?

My hand hurts. My hand.
-It's okay.

You come with me.

Why are you so scared?
He's an innocent guy.

No, dad. He's equal to a bomb.

An atom bomb that can
explode anytime. Come.

How did it go?
-I gave him sleeping pills.

There won't be any
issues till morning.

Why did he come to our place?
-He's a gangster,...

...maybe he is involved in some
gang-related activities here.

That's not the issue now.

We should somehow get rid of him.
Think of a way to do it.

He can regain his
memory anytime.

If his memory returns,
then there's nothing to worry.

How's that?
-He won't spare any of us.

Come on. Don't be so scared.

It's not like we're going to
silently allow him to bully us.

After listening to the anecdotes
about him by the people there,...

...my hands haven't
stopped shivering yet.

Where is he from?
-Arthanahalli.

Just talk to him nicely and
make him get into the car...

...and dump him somewhere there.
Then don't look back and come home.

Just like how we dump
cats at some places. Do the same.

Are you ready?
-I'm always ready. Let's see.

Okay. Let's do that then.

Where are we going?
-We have to go to the hospital.

Why?
-We must change the bandage.

This isn't a problem.

Doctor will cut and
remove this bandage.

Remove it?
-Yes.

That's good. It itches.
-Yes, itching itching.

Let's go.

Dad, I will go to
the hospital and come back.

Who's this?
-My friend.

Be careful with your legs.

I didn't expect the problem
to be solved so easily.

Arthanahalli is near to Mysore.
-Yes.

It's not possible to go there
and come back in a day.

Since Appu is alone, ask
mother to come and accompany her.

Just take your time
but be careful.

Don't halt the car,
until you cross the border.

I won't hit the brakes
until we reach his hometown.

Kokila. Come.
-Kokila will stay here.

If Kokila doesn't come,
then I also won't come.

Once we remove the bandage
we can come back soon.

Call Kokila.
-Why don't you go first?

Kokila and I will come in
another car behind you.

I will come in that car.
-She won't go to the hospital.

If I punch you,
you will be stuck on the wall.

Dad, I will come with you.

Appu, Arthanahalli is
very far from here.

That's okay, let's not cancel
the journey because of this.

Appu, get into the car.
Get in fast.

I'm here for you dear.
Don't worry.

You've been on your phone since
the time we got back from office.

What happened?
-Both father and daughter...

...are not picking up the phone.

I haven't talked to them
properly for the last 2 to 3 days.

When I called yesterday, Appu was
fully engrossed in her studies,...

...and Nanda was busy in meetings.
-Perhaps, they might be held up.

I understand, but I get tensed
if they don't pick up calls.

The superintendent isn't
giving me leave either.

Once they are free, they will
call back. Go and take your bath.

Are you hungry dear?
-What?

Shall we eat something?
-No.

Stop the car
in front of that dhaba.

Let her eat something.
-Okay.

Kokila.
-Yes.

Dear, don't hesitate to eat
whatever you want, okay?

Buddy, Garuda is here.

Yes.

Do you want this dear?
-No.

Dad.
-Appu, get out of here.

Lorens. You know karate?

I have not been
practicing it for a while.

Now it's fine.

Appa.

Mom?
-I'm coming dear.

Kokila!

Come on.

Come on.

Where are you going?
-What about him?

Didn't we come to dump him?

Come. Let's go.
-Appu. Come.

Quick, let's go.

Appu.

You're not my Kokila.

But you've the same eyes...

...the same smile,...

...and the same heart.

Everything is the same.

Where's Kokila?

Here.

Kokila was a good daughter...

...but I wasn't a good father.

You're a good daughter.

Your Dad is a doting father.

Be happy my dear.
Bless you.

Appu, please don't
blow a hornets nest.

I will handle your dad.
I will surely come today.

Please be patient till then.
Pass the phone to your dad.

How many times have I
told you to leave her alone?

Why are you still
fighting with her?

Isn't she a child?

If she says something wrong,
we should forgive her, right?

Please listen to me.

I will reach there tonight,
whether I get leave or not.

If it's for the leave.....
-It's not for my leave.

This is my resignation.

I don't need leaves
nor do I need this job.

Wait, listen, don't resign.
-I will sanction your leave.

That's up to you, sir.

Hello!

Where are you running so fast?

Why are you staring at us, madam?

I'm confused whether
this is a dream or not.

Don't be confused,
you're dreaming.

Sometimes, we have to
wait for dreams to come true.

Come on, mom. There are a lot of
stories I need to update you with.

Come.

Dad.

Rabindra Chadopadhyaya.

Who's that?
-That's one of the stories.
