- There are three categories of children in this world.

- Those who are ambitious and study with determination to gain success in life

- and those who study and earn a job as per their parents' wishes.

- There's a third category that's totally different from these two.

- They have no clue why they're studying,

- and their teachers and parents don’t know why they’re being taught either.

- This is a story of such people.

♪ It's smiles that fill the heart, all around ♪

♪ My son, shining with beauty, men abound ♪

[Plantain/Good for Nothing]

- Do you have plantain saplings? - There was one.

But he just bought it.

Oh!

You may take it if you want.

No!

It's alright.

I shall buy one the next time.

It's alright. You may keep it.

- Okay. - Okay.

Radhika!

Radhika!

Hand me that shovel.

- Let me plant this right away. - At this hour?

Oh, please!

Should I wait for an auspicious hour to plant a plantain?

Don't get into the yard in the dark.

Huh?

Take a shower and come.

I have prepared prawn mango curry.

Ah!

It's been ages since I broke a sweat.

I will plant the plantain later.

- Let go of me.

- Come on! - Go take a shower.

- I will shower later!

- Come here.

- Hey, where's the shovel? - For what?

- To plant this. - Should you really plant it at night?

- Can't you do it in the morning? - That won't do.

I should plant it before someone comes searching for it.

No time to waste!

I'm really tired. Let me go to bed.

Okay.

Hey, make sure you water it everyday.

As if there's no better time to plant it!

One banana fritter, please.

Hey, brother-in-law! Sister has given birth.

It's a boy.

Is it?

- How much is it? - Five Rupees.

Here you go.

- I'll collect the balance later. - Okay.

[Importance of breast-milk]

One feeding bottle... One baby soap and a tin of powder.

One Fepanil!

One junior Horlicks.

Is there a specific one like that?

- It's the best choice for kids. - Is it?

Then I will also have that one.

One of these.

One of these.

- Listen here, everyone.

- Do you like the school? - Yeah!

Do y'all like to draw pictures?

- Yeah! - Shall we draw a picture then?

Yeah!

Go and sit in the front.

What is this?

M.

How about we draw a tree using 'M'?

- Yeah! - Let's write 'M' first...

and like this...

- Is it good? - It is good!

Then, everyone draw a tree using an 'M'.

Draw it.

- Best friends are born in this world...

- not when we are at our happiest

- and find someone as happy as we are.

- It is during the hardest times,

- when you find someone who is just as messed up.

Why are you two smiling at each other?

Stand up, both of you.

What are your names?

Vishnu Radhakrishnan.

Aha!

- And you? - Ajo Thomas.

Ajo Thomas?

- Aren't you drawing? - Yes, we will.

- Will you? - Yes!

Then sit down, both of you.

How was Mommy's dear boy's first day in school?

It was awesome, Mom.

I came first for drawing.

- The teacher also gave me five stars. - Good boy!

I also made a friend named Vishnu Radhakrishnan.

Is it?

They're making the kids draw on the very first day.

The teacher said that I'm superb at drawing.

They will say many such things,

because they studied hard and became a teacher, right?

Don't you listen to them, Son.

Son, you should study well and become a great engineer.

You’ll still have lots to draw, even then.

Learn how to draw a house.

I think all they teach at that school is drawing.

I had said it beforehand.

We should have admitted him to a school run by our folks.

They will teach prayers and maths at those schools.

Prayers and maths?

Right.

Kids learn that only when they are frightened, right?

- Hey! - Yes?

His friendship with that boy...

I don't think it will be right for him.

Huh? Who? Ajo Thomas?

Yes.

We've just admitted him to first grade, right?

And you're already nitpicking his bad friendships?

That boy doesn't look like someone who'd study well.

If our boy makes friends with him, he'll just end up at the same level.

He just has to earn at least one mark more than his friend.

That's enough to be happy.

You either need a friend to study hard with.

Or to study with rivalry,

you need an opponent.

- To encounter the opponent Vishnu's father mentioned,

- we had to wait till fourth grade.

- B.C. Vishwam from class 4-B.

Who is this guy?

Dunno!

Did Sania give you toffees for her birthday?

Yes, she did.

Give them to me.

Why?

If you give them, I'll give you tips on how not to be afraid of the teacher.

- We already ate it. - Yes, I ate it too.

- Shall I give it to you?

- A friend in need...

- is a friend in deed.

- Who is this? - That's how he joined us, one fine day.

- Moosa.

Here...

This is a special chocolate my Dad brought from Sharjah.

Bye.

- Ever since Moosa joined us,

- we levelled up big time.

- Until then, we were confined within our classrooms with minor cases.

- But we began getting summoned into the Headmaster’s office regularly after that.

- Not just us.

- Even our fathers also began coming there, with their heads bowed down.

He took his grandfather's constipation tablet

and gave it to my son saying it was a toffee.

What do you have to say, Sir?

If they are like this now, how will they be when they grow up?

My son studies well and always comes first in his class.

Sorry, Sir! The kids made a mistake.

What's the sorry for?

You are the one who's always encouraging them.

- Sir... - These kids!

That boy's diarrhea hasn't stopped yet.

You go to the hospital and do the needful.

And about these three...

Leave that to me.

I know what needs to be done.

- When I try to hold myself back, - Sir!

you keep getting on my nerves.

- We have never given any time for that cane to rest.

Nobody likes us, dude.

So what, dude? We like everyone, right?

Don't say a word! You're the reason we got all that beating.

- Isn't this something of beauty? - Beauty, my foot!

We don't want any friendship with you anymore.

Right.

Hey!

Have you had sip-up?

- What? - Sip-up!

We don't need any. We don't want to get beaten again.

Hey, that was inside the school, right?

Who's gonna beat you over here?

We don't want it anyway.

It costs just 50 paise.

Hey!

- I don't have a penny with me. - Me too.

In that case, I will pay for it today.

Come.

Chetta, three sip-ups.

Do you want the 50 paise one or the ₹2 one?

What is special about the ₹2 one?

It's milk sip-up.

- Milk sip-up! - We just need the 50 paise one.

- That's gone then. - Hey, isn't milk sip-up better?

Hey, fool! Don't we drink milk at home daily?

We will have the 50 paise one. That's the beauty of it.

How is it?

Superb!

True.

Do you know what this is?

What?

This is first-class dirty drainage water!

This is toxic.

Eww!

Drink up. Drink it fully.

See? We are drinking it.

But we don't die.

That's the beauty of it.

I paid for it today. You should pay yourself from tomorrow.

Hey... but we don't have any cash with us.

Hey, ask for ₹2 every week in the name of buying stamps.

Even if we spend ₹1.50, won't we have 50 paise left?

Can't we use it to buy sip-ups every Friday?

That's the beauty of it.

- This is the same thing that this dog kept telling us throughout our lives.

They give us ₹10 to buy milk, right?

But milk costs only ₹8, right?

By saving up those ₹2 for five days,

can't we buy cola on every Friday?

Isn't that the beauty of it?

They give us ₹50 to buy graph papers, right?

But the graph paper costs only ₹40, right?

If we save up the remaining ₹10,

can't we smoke like this on every Friday?

- It causes cancer. - Isn't that the beauty of it?

Why isn't any smoke coming?

Our folks will give us ₹3000 for our college project, right?

But it costs only ₹2500, right?

Can't we buy booze with the rest of the money?

Isn't that the beauty of it?

- But the real beauty of our lives

- was yet to arrive.

- Class 4-B

- had a new admission.

- Daisy.

Stop quarrelling amongst you and ask her whom she likes.

It's me.

Chetta, two Cadbury chocolates. The ₹10 ones.

- So, you don't want sip-ups? - No, today is someone's birthday.

So, we're giving it as a gift.

The ₹10 one doesn't come anymore. We only have the ₹20 one.

- Shall I get you one? - That won't do!

What's wrong?

- We need two, right? - What will we do with one?

Both of you buy one, go together and say 'I love you' together.

- Huh? - Huh!

That won't work.

Then I shall tell her.

Huh?

Won't that be a big burden for you?

- I didn't want it to be a burden for you. - Who said so?

I...

I... I shall keep it.

It will break. Don't smush it.

- Happy Birthday Daisy! - Happy Birthday Daisy!

Thanks...

- Got 'thanks' from her. - Me too.

Moosa had told me he would buy the birthday gift and send it with you guys.

Huh?

Please convey my special thanks to Moosa.

- Shall I go?

We'll be telling him alright.

Oh, no!!

Kill him!

You are a traitor who betrays his friends.

I will kill you!

- Move away! - Stop there, you!

Throw it... Kick him down!

Oh, no!

When you guys propose someone, both of you always end up fighting.

That's why I did it.

Oh, God!

Right now...

you must tell her about us.

- Now? - You should tell her right away.

Can I change clothes before we go?

Get up!

Help me up!

Huh?

Chocolate!

Hey, don't touch!

Hey, you!!!

Two things happened on that day.

Firstly,

we ended up hating Dairy Milk forever.

Secondly,

B.C. Vishwam...

evolved from a regular enemy to an arch enemy for life.

Dude!

You know that girl who hands over the cane to the Headmaster

to beat us every day... Ramya R.?

She has this smile whenever she sees me.

She has it when she sees me as well, dude.

I think we will be better off without girls.

That's the main reason why we get hit and you guys end up fighting.

Not only that. You are also a reason.

- Isn't he the main reason? - You... you... you!

Damn you! Listen to me then.

Count me out of your antics!

I have decided to change my ways.

If I change my ways, you will too, right?

I will study well and pass the upcoming Board exams.

Get lost!

He wrote his own name 'Moosa' as 'Mouse'. And he wants to pass!

There are only two more months.

If we pass the exams somehow,

we can impress all the girls who'd join next year.

No wonder you decided to change your ways all of a sudden.

No, dude. We must pass this time.

For that, shouldn't we study?

I have decided to study anyway.

Then we are also ready.

Hereafter, we won't have girls or fights in our lives.

Nothing can distract us.

- Don't hit me. - Did it hurt?

It did.

Keep it.

Huh? Is this a "Tide" ad?

Hey! Stop the car, you dog!

-Haven't we changed our ways? -When? - Now.

I can't see anything.

Sorry, kid.

It's alright.

It's not alright!

It's alright.

Huh?

Meteor!

- Where did it-- - Where did it come from, dude?

How dare you splash mud on the boys from my school?

- Who is this guy? - Who the hell is he?

No clue!

Don't smile now.

Did you understand why she was smiling now?

She is into stuff like this.

- Pathetic! - Hey...

On top of all the trouble you’re making,

why are you getting other kids into it and spoiling them?

We don't even know this guy, Sir.

Hey, didn't you recognize me?

No, dude! Who are you?

Hey, I am Kalam.

Abdul Kalam from 10-D.

- The perfect name! - I don't know him.

This Vivekanand hit Rajan Sir.

- Vivekanandan? - Who?

Vivek Anand.

-Oh!

Don't insult that great man by saying both those names together.

Why did you hit Rajan Sir?

I didn't hit him, Sir. Rajan Sir is crazy.

Not just him. Everyone here is crazy.

- Didn't you hear him, Sir? - He's the perfect Vivekanandan.

Hey!

I never bring my homework when he asks for it daily.

He beats me every day for it.

If you don't do your homework, should we caress you instead of beating you?

I'd decided to change my ways from today and did my homework.

Then he hit me asking where I stole it from.

Oh! So, will you hit him back if he hits you?

Then hit me as well!

It's not that, Sir. I don't mind if he hits me.

I pushed him away when he called me a thief.

- He called him a thief. - This is it, Sir.

We had also tried to change our ways.

But you are not believing us, Sir.

It's no surprise that spoiled kids never change their ways.

Look at how much encouragement they receive here.

What is it?

Bro!

We have become friends, right?

Get lost!

- We don't your friendship! - Bro, my foot!

- He and his friendship! - Don't worry. You have me, right?

- Although we didn't become friends that day,

- we started meeting at the same place as time went by.

- If people who meet at the same tea shops, buses, bars, or gyms can become friends,

- then we, who are regulars outside the Headmaster's room,

- can become friends too.

- And therefore, we became friends.

Listen.

There is something.

- I've got a CD with me. - Huh?

- Really? - Yes.

But where will we see it from?

- CD. - Sheesh!

I have a player.

- Really? - Yes.

No, Moosa!

We are not too keen about this.

- Right? - This guy!

This is all there's left.

Listen... If we see all that, we may have babies!

Hey, moron! As men, we need to be brave.

Exactly!

Hey, try watching it once.

- Yes. - Yeah!

- What do you say? We'll try? - Try it!

Of course!

[Mysore Malgova]

- Oh, no! - Where did it go?

Get the CD!

Oh, no! I can't get it out!

- Where is it? - Get the CD!

Shall we take this and run away?

All of you may go out. The power won't be back anytime soon.

- What should I do with this? - Hide it inside.

Hey!

- What if that computer turns on? - We'll be caught!

All of us will be caught.

This will turn out to be a big issue.

Our CD!

What will we do now?

They will ask me to bring my Papa!

He will go absolutely crazy, man!

If Dad finds this out...

- What plans for the evening? - What will we do now?

- Karate. - Take it out.

- Huh? - Get me the cover.

For what?

Give it to me. I will tell you.

Here you go.

Do you think this is a peacock feather bookmark?

- Hey, Moosa! - What's he going to do?

I've started thinking about engineering entrance only now.

- What is it? - What?

Ignore them. They are troublemakers.

- Why should we bother about such losers?

Don't we have better things to do?

Why did you keep it in Vishwam's bag?

Huh?

There's no problem. Stay calm.

- Won't it be a problem? - He will rat us all out.

- We will be busted. - What problem?

- See for yourself. - That's all.

What else?

Then...

Give me a minute.

Huh!

We're screwed!

Daisy, here is your book.

I have kept the letter inside.

Do give me a reply.

Why did he give it to her?

- Okay, then. - Vishwa, wait.

He gave it. Oh, God!

Chocolate?

Sweet as you!

Thank you. Shall I leave?

There goes the Malgova!

Malgova is gone!

Good afternoon, Sir!

Didn't I tell you from the start this was a bad idea?

How would I know that it would turn out like this?

You are the only reason why this happened.

- Then I could have-- - How dare you do this, you dog!

Hey, let me explain--

- Why did you keep it in my bag? - Did you see me do it?

- Didn't you give her the book? - Move away guys!

Why the hell did you keep it in my bag?

I won't spare you!

Vishwam, it was a mistake!

How dare you do it?

- Don't make an issue. - Hey!

Didn't I tell you it was a mistake?

Let me go!

Move away... Let me speak.

Don't' create an issue, dude.

Why did you keep the CD in the bag?

Didn't I keep it in your bag?

Get lost!

Let go... Let me go!

- Just stop this, will you?

- Let go of my neck! - Don't worsen the issue.

You better stop this.

Hey, stop it!

Move aside! Hey!

Move away, you son of a gun!

Hey, let go...

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

- What's the problem? - Oh God!

Hey, Kalam!

I work at a location that's quite far away, Sir.

Since I wanted my son to attend a good school,

I've had him stay at a relative's house here for his education.

Do you need my son who studies well for the school...

or these wastrels? You should decide that, Sir.

You heard him, right?

I am enrolling my son in a different school.

Listen... . If you dare speak to him again...

He'll be the one getting smacked.

I will break his leg too. You heard me?

Come!

He will study from home from now on.

If you dare come near our house claiming to be his friends...

you’ll see what happens next!

- Walk! - Dad!

Walk.

- Our fathers made a joint decision that day.

- That they won't let us study together at the same place again.

- Let me see if I can correct him.

Derivative formula...

How to find the first derivative formula?

Yikes!

Will these be part of the exams?

- Well... - Who knows, right?

Leave some pages for your arrear exams.

Yeah, right! He'll sell the books and buy biriyani tomorrow itself!

I could've left some pages.

EXAM OVER

Give me the money.

Go.

Go!

Hey! You should study like me, and become like me.

Got me?

And don't become like him.

Look at him! Going after money chains...

They made him join it and then he made me join it...

And finally what happened?

He applies all that cream on his own face now!

Now, he has started a new business, selling mattresses!

God knows how that's gonna end up!

Chetta, who are you scolding, me or him?

Listen... Unlike other parents,

I won't insist that you study and choose a profession according to our wishes.

Huh?

So, you have two options.

Huh?

You can either become a Doctor or an Engineer.

You can decide.

But what about my choice?

Who asked you about your choice?

Huh?

It's me who's going to study, right?

Study.

But if you're going to choose a third option,

you should step out of this house before doing so.

This is too much!

Move aside!

Hey!

Don't waste my money unnecessarily!

You're not going to pass the entrance exam anyway.

Why bother with this if it’s pointless?

- I want to be an engineer. - For what?

I don't know all that.

But I must become an engineer.

Listen to me. Come to Bahrain with me.

We can run our shop there and live a relaxed life.

Oh! No, Dad. I need to study.

You don't have what it takes to study, Son!

Let me try once, Mom.

It is pointless. You have your Dad's brains.

Shucks!

You can't say that.

I must become an engineer no matter what.

- I need to become an engineer!! - Hey!

This fool is saying so, because the other guys have also chosen engineering.

♪ I flunked ♪

♪ My heart's broken ♪

♪ I flunked ♪

♪ My heart's broken ♪

He has failed the entrance exam!

Hey, you might have failed.

But I am not ready to fail.

I'll turn you into an engineer, even if I have to shell out big bucks.

For that, I'm packing you up and shipping you out...

to a place where those troublemakers can't find you.

I have found the perfect place for that.

You better be prepared.

Heard me?

Radhika!

- Are you doing good? - Yes, I'm doing good.

- How about you? - All good.

Has Vishnu gotten admission anywhere?

Not yet.

He scored low marks, didn't he?

Ajo has also received low scores.

How's that a surprise?

They should've studied when they were supposed to.

They played around instead.

This was bound to happen.

They are happy only when they are together.

I guess that's why they scored low marks.

I will ask Ajo...

to apply to the same place where Vishnu gets admission.

Why did you buy a small one?

It is very costly, Chechi.

Where did you say Vishnu is going to be enrolled?

We haven't decided yet.

- Hmm? - Hmm??

Do I need to spell it out for you to go and tell her?

- Shall I tell her? - Yes.

Really?

Hold this, hold this... Chechi, hold this.

Shucks! Where has she gone?

- Hey, Ajo's Mom!

If his marks are so low, he won't gain admission there.

Right, brother?

Don't get stressed.

The college is run by our Church anyway.

I will recommend him and get it ready.

But you must do something.

Don’t let him run loose like this.

I'm not saying this because Mathew is my son.

I've never had to make any recommendations for him

or hang my head in shame anywhere, till date.

Only you've had that misfortune.

Right, dear?

Keep an eye on him, at least from now on.

If he keeps hanging out with friends like that, his future will be ruined.

Isn't that right?

Those guys will find work to make a living.

You should study diligently and land a good job.

You better not get into friendships like earlier.

You heard me?

- Yes. - Go on.

[Welcome to the Freshers]

Dude, this is the first year classroom.

The library is over there. And on the other side...

That is not an issue--

Well, bro... is ragging a problem here?

What ragging? There are no such problems.

God, why is he here?

What is it?

He is the guy I told you about.

You do this. Go and get even.

Go ahead.

B.C. Vishwam... Hi!

Ouch, my hand!

Ouch, my hand!

- Hey!

Hey, you!

Hey!!!

- Hey, come on! - Hey!

Hey! Move aside!

Move aside!

Move out of our way!

Hey!

Come on!

Move aside!

Come, let's finish this off!

Come on!

Move aside.

Give way, bro.

If anyone dares to touch him again,

I will break his hands.

- Do you hear me, you dogs? - Stop it!

Oh, no! Isn't that Manoharan Sir? Somebody, come and help him up.

- Oh, no! Manoharan Sir!

- Huh? - Oh, God!

Manoharan Sir?

He's a professor.

Professor?

Dude!

Was he a professor?

Shouldn't you be careful who you hit?

He didn't say he was a professor.

Oh, God!

Hey, don't leave.

Ask him not to leave.

Why wouldn't he leave?

These guys will never change in this lifetime.

- Hey...don't leave... - I'm leaving too.

You are here, right?

Hey!

I will be left alone if all of you leave.

Where the hell do you guys come from?

Namaste, Sir. Why was I summoned, Sir?

Who among them are you the guardian of?

They are all my kids, Sir!

And... Moosa here is my son.

Since they are his friends,

I see them as my own children.

- They are nice kids. - Yes, Sir.

Nice kids?

- Them? - Yes.

Where are your parents?

They just left after dropping them here.

Is there any problem, Sir?

The problem?

They started a fight on the very first day!

- That is the problem! - A fight?

- What else?

Don't say that, Sir.

They aren't those kinds of boys.

Because I have known all of them right from their childhood.

Do you know, Sir?

We parents have never had to visit their school except for signing report cards.

That’s the kind of reputation they have, Sir.

So, when you say this about them, what am I supposed to do?

Do you mean to say that I am lying?

Oh no, Sir!

I wasn't saying that you're lying.

In case you feel any of them were involved in a fight,

I apologize right here and now.

Hey, it is not my feeling!

They have beaten up a Professor of this college.

Oh!

- We didn't know that.

What is this?

You beat up a Professor?

Hey, we hadn't even reached our homes after leaving you here!

And you got started even before that?

Listen... If I find out that you've caused anymore trouble here,

I won't spare any one of you.

Sir is letting you off for now at my request.

Nobody else in the world would let you off like this.

That's how innocent he is.

Shall we go? Come on.

- Thank you, Sir. - Hello, hello!

- Huh? - What is it, Sir?

Who let off whom?

- Sir, you... - I haven't let them off.

It just happened.

Just give me a minute, Sir.

Sir...

- He is innocent. - Well...

Look at this.

Our kids' future

- is in your hands, Sir. - Is she a teacher or a student?

Till date, they have only hit students

and never a professor.

Right?

- No! - No, they haven't.

That's how nice they are.

That's how devoted they are to their teachers, Sir.

Sir, if you tell him...

he will agree.

Can you tell him, Sir?

Aren't they just kids, Sir? Please tell him.

Do whatever you want.

He said you may let them off, Sir.

Take them away!

Thank you, Sir.

Come on!

- See you, Sir. - Thank you, Sir.

Unruly fellows!

- Move! - Oh, God!

- What? - Huh?

Sorry.

Why are you buggers sitting on the front bench?

We will beat you in academics from now on.

Oh! I was also waiting for someone who studies really well.

Aha! Then consider yourselves lucky.

It's not like that, dude. I made a mistake when I applied for allotment.

My college is not like this!

You should've been more careful while applying for allotment.

He is hasty about everything.

After all, you share your name with a great person.

Can't you show at least half that maturity?

Who gave you this name?

That was his father being hasty.

Shall we beat his dad up?

Calm down, dude!

Nobody else should look at her. She's my aunt's daughter.

Don't laugh so hard.

No power can stop me from my goal.

Wait and see. We will defeat you.

This is for my friends.

Until then, we will neither have any food

- and nor will we sleep. - nor will we sleep!

Well, well. Seems like they are slacking off more than us now.

They have lost all interest in studying.

Has he gone mad?

It's not so great.

Hey, go home! You never attend classes or college.

You're just fooling your family.

- Who is that guy? - My uncle!

Every family has one such specimen, right?

The hostel food is trash. It's only when I come here...

- Food... - Hey, when did you get back?

Hey, Dad!

I reached in the evening.

How about the final year project?

It is going well, Dad.

What is the topic?

LPG leakage and

weight detection system.

using Arduino.

Using JAVA or Flutter?

Neither of those. I'm using Python-Django.

Alright.

What sensors do you use?

There is a gas leakage sensor

and a flame sensor too.

What is the main part?

NodeMCU microcontroller is the main part.

Is it futuristic enough?

In the future, gas will be delivered here through pipelines.

So, I don't think these will be so relevant then.

You could have chosen a more innovative topic.

Try anyway.

You don't get into fights with them now, right?

No, Dad. There's nothing like that.

You are not like them.

You have a bright future ahead.

Don't get into any fights.

Okay.

When are you returning to the hostel?

I am going only after two days.

Why two days?

Don't you have to study?

Go back tomorrow itself.

Why waste time over here?

- Hello! - Hey, can you help me with something?

- Huh? At this time? - Yes.

What happened?

Well, my dad's motorbike tire got punctured.

- I am stranded on the road.

- Could you come over? - Erm...

Now? Had it been a bit earlier...

I just got home now.

If I leave immediately, they will doubt me.

Doubt?

What doubt?

Well, if I have to leave home again, they'll ask me a hundred questions!

- They are suspicious of me. - Oh.

Then it's okay.

No, no...

I will come.

Where are you now?

- Hello! - Hi!

- Where is Dad? - Dad is at home.

Huh? You came out on this bike unaccompanied?

Yeah, I usually roam around on this at nights.

- By yourself? - Yeah!

Shall we leave it here?

We could take it in the morning.

Don’t your folks get mad at you for wandering alone at night?

Why? Do only boys get questioned when they go out at night?

Well... I didn't mean that...

Give me a second.

- I shall ride it. - No!

My Dad...

loves his ride more than me.

He's a Ride Romeo.

Hold on.

Where were you headed?

I just roam around for an hour every night.

I see...

I don't stop the bike anywhere.

Okay.

But the tire got punctured now, right?

So, I had to stop.

- That's why I stopped. - So, you are scared after all.

Why? Can't I be scared?

Well... I didn't mean that.

Listen,

are you hungry?

Are you hungry?

A little bit.

- Huh? - I said a little bit.

If I get home late,

Mom is not allowed to give me food, as per Dad's order.

However, Mom always keeps two Dosas in my room without anyone noticing.

But I didn't get time to eat it today.

That's when you called.

We can grab a bite somewhere if you want.

I have some cash with me.

Where can we find food now?

You just need to eat, right?

That's all I need.

Government Hospital?

What's in here?

Are you going to buy tablets for appetite?

Just wait.

Chetta, two cups of tea.

- Two cups? - Yes.

Don't you have biscuits?

Sure.

- Okay, Chetta. - Okay.

- Take one. - Huh?

Okay.

Here you go.

Why do you always dress like a boy and keep your hair short?

Because I like it!

Why? Can't I do it?

Yes, you can. I was just asking...

To be honest,

I wish to be like you guys.

But there are no other reasons unlike what people think.

What’s that other reason?

I...

I want to do hard work like men,

and then I want to buy a house.

Hold it.

I want to make money,

buy a car,

take good care of my parents.

And then, I must be able to do anything that a man is capable of doing.

Do all men have such desires?

- Why? Don't you have any? - Nope!

So, what are your future plans?

If we talk about future plans...

We shouldn't let go of

anything in our life.

No matter how deep they sink,

just like this...

we must bring it back up.

This is what I have in mind now.

Isn't that the beauty of it?

Bro, there comes a hot chick!

Where, huh?

Huh! You dog!

- Reetha... Quit it... - An angel!

Get lost.

Vishnu, can you help me with something?

Chechi, two Wills... per.

- Whisper. - Large or small.

- Large. - Sheesh.

Get lost. Small.

- Give me the balance money. - I will. Calm down.

- Thank you, Vishnu. - Welcome.

Chechi, iBoric eye drops, please.

- Thank you, Vishnu. - Welcome.

Hey idiot, leave it and come.

I've got things to do.

Don't rush it, dude. There are only 240 pages left.

- I am fed up. - Has he gone mad?

Hi, Reethu.

I will do it for sure. What a question!

I will go out right away, okay?

Oh, my glasses!

- Vishnu, a nail-polish.

- Vishnu, a Center Fresh gum.

Vishnu!

Okay, okay. No worries. I will bring it.

Bro, shall we go?

Hey, didn't you already go in the morning?

That was for something else. This is something else!

Come, let's go.

Give me the juice. I'll see that it stays cold.

I don't think a tea would be enough to satisfy my hunger.

- Then what? - How about we eat something?

I'm the most intelligent in our team.

I have won some trophies from the Church.

Yikes!

Huh?

What is out here?

Wait there.

Are you here to pray for food?

Sit here. I will be back.

- Chetta! - Yes.

I am really hungry.

Will she buy me camphor or something to eat?

How about some rice flakes and bananas?

Banana flakes?

This... This hasn't expired, has it?

No... Eat it.

Listen,

what is your issue with Vishwam?

Not Vishwam. B. C. Vishwam!

That's how we've been calling him since school.

What is your big issue with him?

He has some issues.

Firstly,

he studies really well.

Then...

he comes first in sports,

first in school...

And all the teachers love him.

Now the Principal does too.

All these are issues, right?

Is that your issue?

To be frank, he hasn't given us any issues.

If this is a movie,

he will be the hero and all of us will be the villains.

But we're not ready to accept that fact.

- Get up! - Sheesh!

Move away.

Hey! Give me a hand.

- This guy is the limit. - Who was it?

I'll tell you after some time.

Tap it with your index finger and throw.

Throw!

Shucks! My college has none of this, dude.

What's the point of having all these?

This guy here has someone to love.

What's the point though?

Why are you talking like that?

Well, does she know that you love her?

- No! - Nice!

But if I say it hastily, and she says 'No',

I will be very sad, bro. That's why I don't tell her.

Yeah! That's exactly why he said you are not brave. Got it?

You will remain as her delivery boy forever.

You don't have to laugh so hard!

He might die due to diabetes, drinking all those cups of tea.

After driving all night without sleep,

just look at his eyes and face now.

Can't differentiate between his face and his butt!

As if your butt is so...

Shucks! But, my college has none of this, dude!

Get lost!

Cut this down and go plant it in your college.

Hey, I will propose to Reetha tomorrow itself and make her say 'Yes'.

- Awesome, bro - Thank you.

Come here.

You will also tell Maya about your sugar.

- Huh? - If I can, you can too. Shake on it, bro.

- I don't have these in my college, bro!

- Tomorrow? - Tomorrow itself.

Do you want sugar?

Why were they rolling her away?

You said you had something serious to say!

I will tell you.

- Huh? - I will tell you.

Can't you tell me at the college?

- We meet here everyday, right? - Yes.

So...

But this is quite unlike nights! Why is it crowded here during the day?

Huh?

Let's move over there. It is very crowded here.

Come.

Okay.

Tell me.

Our lives are extremely

- beautifully--

I think it's an accident.

Oh, no!

Blood!

Ajo!

You are okay, right?

I am okay.

- Are you fainting? - No, no...

Mayavi!

If there are any problems at all, we must hold on--

- Hold me... - Ajo!

- 'Things aren't how you imagine them to be.'

'Even if I have any feelings for you,'

- It won't work. - Correct!

Please don't laugh, dude!

'Looking at you and your friendships, it is very clear...'

'where your carrier is headed.'

It is not read carrier, dude. It is career.

Whatever!

'First, you study well and set a career up.'

'Then we will see how it goes.'

Hey, Ajo! If she doesn't like you, she should say just that.

There is no need to talk about us like that.

She is already like this. Had they been together,

we would have to strike off his name.

But what they have going on isn't love, right?

- He is just a tea master. - That's a point.

The rain that he drank for her

and the tea that he got wet in, were all a waste.

You are also wasted!

I am in deep sorrow.

I am in deep sorrow.

Dude, you at least have a reason to be sad.

I haven’t even had the chance to tell her yet.

So?

I am also sad.

The way they go at it looks like they are going to marry each other.

- Oh, no! - What will I do now?

Hey, Reetha is calling!

- Silence! - Please don't make noise.

- Switch on loud speaker. - Hey, keep quiet.

- Hello! - Hi, Reethu!

- What are you doing, Vishnu? - I am with everyone...

- We’re in a group study session. - Aha!

Can you get me something from a friend of mine?

What a question!

Don't you know how I am?

- Just ask me to bring it. - Like a dog!

- Shut up, you dog! - The book, Three mistakes of my life.

Just get it for me. He will be at the bus stop.

'He'?

- Hello? - 'He'?

- Hello, Vishnu? - Okay, I will bring it.

Thank you, Vishnu.

♪ Heartbreak high ♪

'He'?

- Who is 'He'? - How would I know?

She just told me, right?

Let's do something.

All of us will go and meet him over there,

you will open your heart to him,

then you open your heart to Reetha

and we'll settle everything before we return.

- Okay. - No way.

I need to see my Maya first.

- That is final then. - But... should we go to Maya now...

Listen, should we see Maya in this condition?

- We should. - Can't we see her tomorrow?

- That's alright, come on. - No need to fall on my feet.

Hey, what are you doing? Hello... Dude!

- Put me down! - Shut up.

- I will talk. - You are really heavy.

And you are really stinky.

- Somebody tell him. - Nobody will tell him.

- Are you driving or am I? - Where is this place?

He will kill us! Look at the gate... Hey!

Oh no!

Shush! Shush! Keep quiet!

Keep the bike there.

Hey, should we cause more problems?

- We should. - Are we here to create problems?

Which is her house?

Whose house is this, the astrologer's?

Room?

Had I known this, I would've brought some priests along.

What's up there?

What's there, dude?

Come out, you bloody beach!

- Oh, no! Stay quiet! - Keep quiet, keep quiet!

Oh no! Dad! I mean, dad also had a bike like this.

Huh! Don't make noise, you idiot!

Is it your Aunt's house to ring the bell?

- People will see, come here! - Come here, you moron!

Keep quiet!

- There is no one here. - I know there is nobody here.

Come back here!

Was this his house?

- Dear wastrel, please shut up. - I am clueless. Off I go.

Shouldn't we leave?

I know where she is.

She is a cheater.

The E.C.G is normal.

It is probably due to gas.

They asked you to have this medicine.

You will feel heart burn for a while.

They've asked you to sit here till then.

- Do you want to rest in the ward, Dad? - No, dear.

- You can rest in the ward. - No, I shall sit here.

- Then hold this. I will get some tea. - Okay.

Hospital?

What happened to us?

- Nothing. - What happened to us?

What happened to your Dad?

I think he has gas.

- Stop it, stop it. - I will get some ginger tea for Dad.

She isn't done with her tea-drinking. She and her damn tea!

Hey!

Your friend is here!

What did you say in your message?

My friendships are not good?

Hey, stop it, bro!

- People will hear, bro. - Let the people hear, bro.

So be it!

Hey.

- Do you know who they are? - Yes, she does.

They are my BFFs.

Mwah, dudes!

This is how we are.

This is how we will always be.

Only if you please...

Come with me only if you please!

I can't abandon my friendships for you.

I have never paid heed to my parents,

let alone to you.

Tell her the rest, bro.

You have analysed all my problems correctly, right?

Irresponsibility,

aimlessness...

Surroundings!

Chetta, she says I'm never aware of my surroundings.

Hey, have you ever analysed your own problems?

Hey, cutting your hair, wearing your dad's clothes,

and taking his bike to roam around at night behind his back,

won't make you a man!

So, her dad must be wearing her clothes, right?

Enough! Let's go, bro.

- Haven't you had enough? - No, bro. I need to tell everything.

Do you know her real problem?

Her Daddy...

wanted a son so badly.

- So what, dude?

But what did he get?

He was upset for a long time because of that.

That’s why she's roaming around in this fancy dress.

Not only that.

She wants to earn a good job

and take care of her parents like MEN do.

Hey!

People will do that regardless of their gender.

Changing your looks alone is not going to change anything.

Tell her, Uncle!

Look at her foolishness!

What a fool!

He must have forgotten those wishes long ago.

But you are carrying that...

and calling yourself Daddy's little prince!

Haven't I supported all the foolish ideas you mention?

Haven't I told you that you can continue all that even after marriage?

But have you ever told me that I can live my life the way I want?

- Ajo! - Stop calling me that!

I should forget everything for you, shouldn't I?

I should abandon my friendships, right?

No way in hell I'm doing that.

Go to hell!

There is no point in telling you.

Your Daddy!

He is the one who needs some scolding!

Right, Uncle?

- Dude, stop! - What is that, a wax statue?

- He isn't saying anything. - You have said enough.

- No... - Come, hop on.

Cheater!

- Come, let's go. - Start the bike!

I am leaving. You make it somehow!

- Hey... - Everyone ditched me.

Hey! Hey! Don't go away!

- You are going to suffer! - Come here.

S-U-F-F-E-R!

Dear...

I always believed you were making life choices based on your personal preferences.

I’ve only just discovered that you’re living this way for my sake.

But I've never behaved that way towards you, right?

Alas! I needed that boy...

in order to understand my daughter.

He is a naive fellow, isn't he?

Yes.

But he is a fool.

If you end up loving him,

your life might spiral out of control.

Aren't you happy, bro?

I am happy, bro.

- I am happy with you guys. - That's all.

Now he should go tell her

and then get roasted by her.

Then I will be fulfilled.

Keep your rotten mouth shut.

I will tell her this time for sure. See for yourselves.

But, who might that guy be? The one who's coming at ten o'clock.

- I don't know. - I suspected her right from the start.

Stop it, dude. He might be her friend.

Could it be that guy... Hashir?

No way. It won't be him.

Call him.

- Hello? - Hey!

What are your plans at 10 p.m. tonight?

Feasting was the main plan. That's done now.

That's not it. Reetha has a friend coming over to see her.

A guy!

A third guy other than the two of us?

- Calm down. I only asked if it was you.

- This guy might be her friend.

I just asked to know what the deal is.

I will punch him and put him to sleep tonight.

We should do that, bro.

I will tell you what. Come to the junction.

We will pummel him tonight.

Here I come!

- Come on. - Ask him to come fast.

Hashir, where are you off to at this hour?

I am going nowhere.

I am right here.

Doesn't anyone sleep at night over here?

It is past dawn, you fool.

People are ready to go to their office.

This is why I don't study.

I will have to go to jobs at this hour if I study.

- What's the time? - I think fish-sellers are about to come.

Why the hell did I come out with these guys?

- Is it the guy in glasses? - Must be that bugger wearing glasses.

Vishnu.

You give many books to Reetha, don't you?

- Sometimes. - Does your Dad own a library?

My hand....

You are Reetha's friends, right?

This is Ajo.

Hi!

I am Moosa.

Okay.

What is your name, bro?

- Freddy. - Shoddy?

No, it's Freddy.

F-R-E-D-D-Y.

What a lousy name!

- What's going on with Reetha? - Reetha is my closest friend.

Closest friend means?

She is my best friend.

I have never seen a girl like Reetha in my life.

Even with those gigantic glasses on your face?

Give me the book.

I will give...

Here, keep it.

- Cash? - I will give you.

Sheesh!

I will give you. I will give you a Pong-Pong!

- Leave me or I'll hit you - Hit me if you dare.

I will hit you for sure.

I will smash your glasses.

Huh?

Who is this guest, at dawn?

Who is this boy?

Take off your hands, boy!

Are you messing with the Police?

My hand, my hand...

Let go, let go of my hand!

Are you messing with the Police?

Oops! He's got both hands! Leave me!

Are you playing games?

Take off your hands.

- Are they friends? - I don't know anything.

- Take your hand off! - You take it off first.

Who are you to say that?

The spot you're standing,

those boys and their belongings,

this bus stand and even your trousers are under my control!

- Is it? - Of course.

Sir! None of these are mine!

What are all these?

Come over here.

Sir... Please don't hit me...

Sir, I don't know what these are.

That's not what you said yesterday. Didn't you say these were yours?

Sir, it just came out as a punchline in the heat of the moment!

No, these are not mine.

Whose stuff is this?

What is this? There are cumin seeds,

crystal salt, table salt...

I know these are stamps though.

I don't know anything else, Sir.

What happened yesterday is that I presented myself as a badass character.

But that's gone now.

Then what about them?

Who are all these people? I'm not friends with any of them!

Why have you made me stand amidst them?

Sir, he is my Aunty's son!

Yeah! I know him. He was with me.

Oh!

Sir, he has studied with me since first grade.

Yeah, I think I know him too!

All of us are thick friends, Sir.

Yeah, I kinda know these three...

Ha... Hashir!

I know this gentleman too.

These people are from my home-town, you see.

- Hi! - Come over here.

Please separate it, Sir. This is my stuff.

They don't even know how to smoke a cigarette properly. Morons!

You know what? You should separate these for me.

Or they will ask for a share.

Don't you have an AC here, Sir?

If you keep it out in the open like this, it will get spoilt.

If you use it after that, you won't get the kick!

You dare to mess with me, huh?

You dare to mess with me, huh?

- How dare you? - Sir, please let go!

Sir, their fathers have arrived.

Ah!

Let them come. Is this the way to bring up their kids?

Oh, God!

Huh! How can that be? My Dad is already dead!

Go in.

Dad!

Huh? Oh, God!

My Dad!

This must be their first time creating trouble in a place like this, right?

- Huh? - Yes.

Namaste!

Do you know who these guys are?

They are our children, Sir.

No.

Huh! They aren't?

Errr... They are, Sir.

No!

They are part of a huge drug racket.

- Rocket? - Yes, this guy seems to be one.

Sir, we don't know all of them.

The others seem to be new admissions.

Sir, these five college students are our children.

Those who don't study in college, move to this side.

- Okay. - Don't rush.

- Don't step on my foot. - Why are we going together?

- Okay, Sir. Ready! - Please give me some space.

You morons, I meant those who didn't get into college;

not those who bombed their exams. Move over here!

- I had scored two marks. - Okay, we should stay still.

I think I should be on the other side.

- Aren't these your children? - Sir...

he is my son, Sir.

Yes. That's me, Sir.

Sir, this happened to me.

Huh?

Quit saying mine and his. Say your names.

Vishnu R.

Errr... Me?

Muhammad Al bin Salim Ibrahim.

Ajo Thomas.

Abdul Kalam.

Vivek Anand.

Move aside.

Saw your children's antics, right?

You brought them up as good boys with love and affection,

and look at the messed up things they are up to!

These two started all this trouble in first grade.

Now the station is packed with them, Sir.

You can do whatever you want, Sir.

Let them stay in jail for some days. At least that will reform them.

Then you do this.

Bring me a few guys who've reformed after going to jail.

I should've planted a plantain tree instead of fathering him.

Thomacha, stay calm. Leave him.

Don't make an issue.

Calm down.

Plantain tree.

My father used to be a plantain farmer.

Oh, no Sir! I didn't mean that when I said it.

Yeah, I got it.

My dad always said I'm the worst plantain he ever planted.

Even if the kids become deadbeats,

it’s the parents who get blamed.

- Right. - Sir...

Everyone wants their child to succeed

when they spend their hard-earned money on education

Shouldn't they consider that?

I couldn't become an engineer, Sir.

When I hoped to achieve that through my son,

I ended up feeling like a fool, Sir.

- What is the fool's name? - Thomachan.

Thomachan, up to what grade did you study?

Ninth grade, Sir.

- Why didn't you continue after that? - Err... I wrote the exams.

But I failed.

- Couldn't you write the arrears? - I wrote it three times, Sir.

I failed all three and ended my studies.

Oh! Sir, you are mocking me, aren't you?

- Never. - Yes, you are, Sir.

I failed ninth grade three times,

and he studied better, passed the entrance test, and became an engineer.

Isn't that what you were thinking?

- No, no... - It is, Sir.

Sir, you're someone who struggled for years in poverty,

walked many kilometres to find a street-light, and studied hard under it.

That's what I meant.

Right.

See? Even Sir understands.

Donkey!

Thank you, Sir.

Haven't all fathers been saying this for ages?

Even after studying so hard, you didn't pass, right?

Stupid donkey, who wasted all his father's hard-earned money!

Hey, quit it!

Sir, our children are here.

Are you supporting these losers, Sir?

No one recognizes the pain dads go through, Sir.

Do you know why we work tirelessly without food or sleep?

It’s because we hope they’ll succeed someday!

Sir, it's okay even if they don't study.

I just hope they stop disgracing us like this.

Sir, we are their biggest enemies.

We're just asking them to study. And if they can't even do that...

Sir, nobody here understands what we children go through.

They keep asking us to study all day, every day.

Don't kids who struggle with academics deserve to live here?

We're always blamed for everything.

Nobody goes to college to be a backbencher.

All the pressure you throw at us about our future is why we end up stuck at the back.

So, we think the middle benchers in front of us are better than us.

But only we know their plight.

True. If they slack off a bit, they'll slide to the back.

And even if they study hard, they won't reach the top.

This makes it seem like the front bench nerds are the greatest.

But they are the ones dealing with the most pressure.

Every time they come first, what do their parents think?

That they'll be university toppers? Poor guys are struggling!

This pressure! This is why I've considered running away and dying, multiple times.

Had I done that back then, only my dad and I would have been at a loss.

It is to relieve this damn tension and pressure from you all

that I work so hard, Sir.

He got it!

Good that we failed tenth grade, right, Hashir?

Of course!

You won't come out even if the jail collapses.

I'll handle you separately!

If you guys dare to come back here creating such hassles,

I will put you, your Dad, and your Dad's Dad behind bars.

You heard me?

Those who can study, go and do that!

Those who can raise them, do that!

Getting me stressed up for no reason!

Get lost! All of you, get out from here.

Go, go...

Go, go! I need to sit alone for sometime. Go!

Sir...

- Shall we? - Get out!

Let's get out of here before the case takes a turn.

- You guys speak to the media, okay? - Sir...

Our parents have never shown us the kind of love

you showed us upon meeting us just once.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sir. Muah!

You haven't seen my Dad, have you?

No.

He was much more terrifying!

He is the sole reason

I am doing this job I hate.

Basically, I am not so terrifying.

Go on.

Okay, Sir.

- Shall we go? - Let's go.

Be careful how you speak to people wherever you go.

- Don't repeat this, okay? - Okay.

Put your shirt on!

Hey, come get on the vehicle!

- Where are you coming? - Inside...

Close the door!

Close it!

I don't want any drug dealers stepping foot in my house.

My wife and I live there.

We don't want to go to jail for this, during our old age.

Don't you dare show up anywhere near my house again.

Take your hand off!

Dad!

Can I have the bike keys?

For what?

To get Vishnu.

He's not there, dude.

-He's not there. - Hop on.

He... Hello?

Hashir, it's me.

Hello dude, any news?

No?

Hey, did you find him?

No, we are searching.

Where has this bugger gone?

- Can't get him on the phone either! - How did it go?

He is nowhere around here.

I can't get him on the phone.

He isn't in the Police station either.

- Come, let's look. - Yes, come.

Hey, how about we look there?

- But-- - Near the temple.

- Didn't they search near the temple? - I don't know.

Okay, let's check there.

Hey, get down. Let's talk from here.

Go away.

I will jump.

- I don't want to see any of you. - Why is he up there?

Oh, no!

Hey, don't jump. Come here.

I will jump, dude.

I am a failure.

Nobody wants me.

Hey, we agree with you on the first one.

You are a failure and so are we all.

- Come on! - All of us are with you.

- Come on, dude! - But you abandoned me there earlier.

You guys also come up here. Let's die together.

Hey, bugger! In case you jump down and die,

the police will investigate us.

That Radhakrishnan, your dad?

He will tell everyone we were the ones who killed you.

Our future will be left in ruins. I am telling you for real.

Let it be ruined. All of you should suffer.

Nobody should live happily.

Aren't we all with you? Please come down, dude.

No!

Hey...

If you don't die from your fall

and we take you to the hospital half-dead,

they'll perform scans, X-rays, and surgeries from head to toe.

All of that will cost 1.5... No... At least ₹10 Lakhs will be gone!

Finally, if you don't survive and end up in a coma,

your family will go broke and be stranded on the streets!

In case you're lucky enough to die,

the expense for an ambulance and the funeral arrangements,

along with the expense for those who attend the different rituals to have the food,

will be a huge burden to your family and they will be ruined.

- Come down, dude! - Come on.

At least think of the depression we'll go through after you die.

It will take us at least two or three years to recover from that.

Think about that at least. Come back down, dude.

At most, in around four years, both your family and we will forget you.

Who will be at a loss then?

Just you!

- Right. - Come on.

- Come on. - Come on.

- Come.

So, I am only worth three years of depression to you guys, am I?

- Get the **** down here! What did you say, bro?

- ****... - Dude, we will talk to your family...

and fix everything. Please come down.

Nothing can be fixed over there.

Bro, if you don't understand after everything we said,

- go ahead and jump. - Jump!

- I will jump. Jump.

- I will jump. - Let him jump.

Hey, don't leave.

- I'm also coming. - You're not jumping?

Come on then.

Phew!

Get down.

Phew!

Gosh!

Hey!

Hey! You guys needn't come.

That alone is enough for Dad to make a scene.

We will also come, dude.

No, bro. Whatever I have to say, I'll say it myself.

I haven't done anything wrong, right?

You can say it. Go to your room now.

We're leaving only after you get in.

If you have any plans of hanging on the fan, you better switch it off.

Otherwise it will spin and hit you!

There won't be any problems, right?

Just go!

Okay, then.

Idiot!

Check if there are any cops on his tail.

Dad, I haven't done anything intentionally.

Why have you come here?

Didn't I tell you not to step inside this house?

- Didn't I? - Quiet...

Get out!

Lower your voice. People will hear you.

Come on, Son. I'll get you some porridge.

There is nobody left to know.

Do you know what my new name is?

'Weed' Radhakrishnan.

It's the designation my son has given his father.

I had sent him to become an engineer.

Look how he stands there shamelessly.

Get lost!

Dad, I haven't done anything intentionally.

I didn't know what was inside it.

- Yeah, right! - Honestly, I didn't know.

I believe you!

Your friends might have taught you this.

No, no...

Do you take me for a fool to believe this?

This isn't the place where people like you should be living. You know that?

Get out.

Don't say that. Didn't he say he made a mistake?

It wasn't he who made the mistake. It was you and I.

Do you know that?

All I had left was some peace of mind.

I've lost that too, now.

It's either me or him.

Only one of us will live in this house.

What are you saying? Isn't he our son?

I should be slapping you first!

You're the one who has spoiled him to this extent.

Blame it all on me now!

Since he was little, you've been hitting him and forcing him to study.

That's why he turned out this way.

Have you ever spoken affectionately to him?

Shut up!

I will... I will speak again!

I've had enough!

Oh, no! Why are you slapping Mom, Dad?

Mom!

- If you dare shout at me again... - Why are you slapping Mom?

I haven't done anything, Dad.

I swear, I haven't done anything, Dad.

I swear, I haven't done anything, Dad.

I swear, I haven't done...

Son!

Vishnu, dear!

Son!

Son!

- Chetta! - Do you want to hit me?

Do you want to hit me?

Chetta, don't...

- Move away! - Hit me!

- Move! - Leave me!

Hit me!

- Hit me! - No...

Move!

- Chetta, he did it by mistake. - Hit me!

Sorry!

- Sorry! - Son!

- Hit me... - Sorry!

Sorry...

Let him hit me. You stay aside. Let him do it.

- What is this? - I won't do it again, Dad!

I did it in a moment of impulse.

- Son! - Move!

Huh?

Vishnu!

My son!

How is he now?

The Doctor hasn't said anything yet.

He isn't conscious yet.

He used to study really well.

Ever since he started hanging out with your kids,

he was doomed.

I admitted him to that college thinking he would be better off without them.

But even there...

He has some life left in him.

Ask them to go inside and take that away as well.

Don't be worried.

Nothing bad will happen.

All of us are with you.

Keep calm.

D... Dad... We...

You are spoiled anyway.

Now, you have spoiled the lives of other boys too!

It wasn't me, Dad.

- Son of a gun! - Oh, God!

Thomachan, let him go!

- How dare you mess with a boy's life? - This is a hospital, Thomachan.

- What are you doing? - Get lost... You wretched fellow!

You will never prosper in life!

Stop it! There's no need of this.

- Move away! - Dad...

Please let me see him...

I asked whether you had expected this result or not.

No!

But, we had expected it.

Dear, take his food and feed it to the cow.

Are the results out?

Failed all of them?

Oh, not all of them. Okay.

Chetta, there's no point in scaring him or making these offerings.

He will pass only if he studies. Try to understand it, at least now.

Walk, Chetta.

- Shall I get you some tea? - Yeah.

One of his friends fell off a bike.

Who? Ajo?

That boy who didn't get admission with them? Him.

- Vivek? - Yes.

Ask him to go pay him a visit.

How are you, dude?

It's alright, dude.

- We were doubtful if we should come here initially.

But this place is cheap.

Hey, did you have tea?

Well, I could have some.

Why did you take the bike when you don't even know how to ride a bicycle?

Come on, dude! I have learnt how to ride it.

Since the bike was new, it slipped when I changed gears.

Well, you can't change gears anymore. You broke your leg, right?

That bike is mine now!

Hey! They are stealing it!

Hey.

This has the list of some job vacancies.

I have marked a few of them.

Just give them a try.

What if you get one?

- Okay. - Here.

We can't keep going on like this.

That's because we don't have omelettes.

- That's not what I meant. - Then?

Here he comes.

Hand me the lighter.

There he is.

Can't you come early?

What can I do, dude?

Mom sent me out to get the rice powdered--

Hey!

I have to take it home.

Dude, we are all in the same situation.

Dude, it's not like I'm not trying for a job.

But I should get selected, right?

That's why I said we must do something.

Dude, how long will we live off our parents' money?

We will have to start some business.

- Right. - What should we start?

We should do something.

If we don't start something soon, we will be screwed, dude.

Let's fix another drink.

- Finally when we decided to change our ways,

we weren't the only ones who got better.

Aha! Your engineer-son has arrived.

Ah!

I didn't expect you'd get leave, Sire.

What is this, man?

Dad.

- Dad - Yes?

Have the chicken, Son.

Well...

the land we own, which is next to the riverbank?

If you could let him use it for farming,

Enough.

it would provide him with a livelihood.

If both of you cooperate as well, we could do it at the earliest.

What farming?

Had you worked hard and secured a good job when you were sent to study,

you wouldn't be pleading with me for a loan today.

It's alright.

Let this be a lesson.

He might get this job, right?

Yeah, most probably, he will.

Vishnu is quite skilled, right?

Yes.

Are you his friend or is there something else--

Oh! No, Uncle.

We are just friends.

Alright.

You are here to help him. That's why I asked.

I haven't met any of his female friends.

We should sell this house as soon as possible.

And we should get our daughter married.

He can go to Dubai with the rest of the money.

Isn't she studying? Can't the wedding wait until she's done with it?

When are we supposed to get her married then?

Even the pretty girls aren't getting any grooms.

Brother-in-law!

Did it burn, Uncle?

No, dear!

Brother-in-law!

We might need to hike the dowry up a bit.

Aren't you going to Canada?

No.

- Then? - I told you, right?

U.S.

I switched my job from Canada to Florida.

So, aren't you taking her with you?

But I have my job over there.

Why should I move to Florida then?

This colour suits you.

- Nice selection! - Really?

- It is really good. - Thank you.

Huh?

- Reetha Martin! - Ajo!

- Congrats! - Thanks.

- Do you know each other? - We were in the same college.

Aha! She was in your college?

But she had graduated a long time ago!

How many arrears do you have left?

How would he remember?

Six...

She studied diligently and graduated

when she was sent to study, rather than goofing off.

You keep wandering around like this!

- Brother! - Huh?

Don't spoil such a nice day.

- You may go inside. - Go inside, kids

Everyone, get inside.

This is your problem.

Don’t hold off on saying what you need to.

No matter how many people are around, just say it.

These guys will change only if we subject them to such humiliation.

No point in blaming him.

You’re the one who raised and spoiled him.

Uncle, you should be concerned only with your son.

- Ajo! - Huh?

Are you talking back to me?

I can be respectful only if you show me respect.

Hey!

Say sorry.

Even your father has never talked to him like that.

Say sorry!

Say sorry!!

Sorry...

Plantains?

Yeah.

I thought you were the fool, brother,

but it turns out he's an even bigger one.

Will any youngsters today take up farming jackfruits and plantains?

Well... let him try it out first.

Don’t reject it outright at the beginning.

You should be taking the decision, Dad.

Your decisions never go wrong, Dad.

The biriyani...

has too much ghee in it.

You should understand something.

If an emergency arises,

we shouldn't be so powerless that we need to fall at someone's feet.

Your CIBIL score is low, Sir.

You can't get a loan.

Why? I have a job, right?

A job alone isn't enough, Sir.

You’ve missed your car loan payments, and that’s the issue.

Vishnu!

Tell us something, man!

Huh?

How many back-papers do you have?

Three or four...

Sir, I'll just go out and be back.

- Okay.

Hey!

That fool doesn't know anything.

If you refer guys like these, you'll end up in trouble.

- Bringing in useless friends of hers!

I might not get it.

It was very tough.

It's alright, dude.

We will see.

Well... there was always some issue or another.

Sir, won't there be a way if you try?

If I try...

Do you have a house or any other properties?

No.

So, a loan in your name is off the table.

Let's try for a personal loan in your son's name.

How much do you pay as ITR?

What is that?

He can only pay taxes if he has an income, right?

So, you haven’t found a job after completing your degree, huh?

Degree...

I'm still completing it.

Do you have any gold?

If you do, you can get a loan with a lower interest rate.

We can promptly arrange the cash.

Should we try that?

Okay, Sir.

- Let me think about it. - Okay.

We don’t even know the reason why you are separating.

Please tell us at least that.

We realized we can't live together,

so we’ve decided to separate.

Really?

Can you just decide that on your own?

Who will take care of your son then?

That is where we have a confusion.

We were thinking about letting him

stay here.

I didn't consider your job or anything else,

while getting my daughter married to you.

I thought you would take good care of her.

And now you're saying you’re headed two separate ways.

Aren't you responsible of taking care of your wife and child?

This is our mutual decision.

Don't blame everything on Vishwam alone.

This isn’t a decision for you two to make alone.

We are here for that.

We should also know about it.

How can we take care of a baby at our age?

My hands and legs are really weak,

and your father isn't as healthy as he used to be.

We can't even take care of ourselves.

Then how can we take care of the baby?

Kids these days are like this!

They don't want to take care of their parents.

We should even take care of their children.

Hey!

Here you go.

You can decide whatever you want.

Brother, you should immediately arrange a job for him in the Middle East.

- I will do that. - Hey!

- Where are you going? - To Dubai.

Now?

Listen.

Back in the past, my Dad went to Dubai after selling his house.

He spent nearly thirty years

working tirelessly to raise us,

provide us with education,

and construct our home.

And I went to the Middle East, by selling that house.

I toiled really hard over there to build this house.

Should we sell this house now, to send him there?

Should he go there and struggle to build a new house?

What is this?

Is it only to build houses and conduct weddings that people go to the Middle East?

You don't have to go anywhere.

I will arrange a job for you.

Right here.

Only I know the struggles I faced there for over twenty years,

away from my friends and family.

Then what about the girl?

I will decide on that too, when it is time.

You shouldn't get too involved in this.

How can that be, brother-in-law?

She only spilled the tea on your hand.

Had it been me, I would have thrown the boiling tea on your face.

- The kids these days...

- are smarter than us. - How smart?

Smart enough to grow plantain trees that nobody wants?

You guys have a notion

that plantain trees are good for nothing.

It is just like the coconut tree.

It is also useful from the ground up.

And it is not just some leaves and peels!

Complete business!

If you listen to our kids' business idea,

you will be shocked.

Dad, it's not just the banana bunch,

they even export the banana stem strands.

They have already signed an agreement with two companies

to export the banana stem strands.

See...

Check out the saree she's wearing.

It is made of banana strands.

Much of what you believe is worthless actually holds value.

He might seem like a fool or an idiot to you,

but I know his worth.

You will also realize that soon enough.

There's no point in blaming today's children.

You should beat them to discipline as they grow up.

Otherwise they will end up like this.

See how he's shamelessly sitting there even after getting slapped!

Guys like these aren’t any good for the family.

What do you want, a chicken piece? Here you go!

Here you go. Eat it.

- What do you want? - One piece of chicken.

Hey!

- Brother! - Dad!

Who are you to slap my son?

- Didn't you hear what he said? - What's wrong in what he said?

Can't people mind their own business?

If that’s the case, I’ll have to slap you frequently.

- Huh? - Dad, please!

Let go of me!

What gives you the right to slap my son?

Huh?

We lost our dad too soon because he was frequently stressed about you.

Do you know that?

And I was the one who gave you a shop of his to run!

That's how you make a living now.

And he dares to boast about being worthy to the family.

Hey! What is this?

Why are you doing this while an auspicious function is happening?

Is it?

Don't wait for later to say what you have to say, no matter who is around.

Isn't that what you told me earlier?

So, I had to say this right now.

He ought to be humiliated in front of a crowd like this.

How can you defend this guy who's jobless and behaves like a vagrant?

Huh?

Dad!

Enough.

How old are you?

Tell me your age!

26.

- What did you achieve at his age? - Huh?

You achieved nothing.

As for the humiliation,

when people nabbed you from the coop in the neighbour woman's house at midnight,

the disgrace our father endured

is something I’ve never experienced even a fraction of, because of him.

Before advising someone, consider whether you are truly worthy of doing so.

Only after that should you offer your advice.

My son knows how he should survive.

He doesn’t need anyone’s advice.

Go!

Why aren't you saying anything?

Didn’t they mutually agree to proceed with the divorce?

How can we say that it is wrong?

In the past, regardless of how bad the fights got,

couples would adjust and live together.

It's better to separate than live like that.

Just because it is embarrassing for us,

they don't have to suffer, right?

So, are you also justifying them?

But... can't he at least think about the baby?

Have we looked after him?

Have we ever allowed him to make a decision on his own?

What he should study,

and where he should study. We decided all that.

He obeyed whatever we told him.

When he was in fourth grade,

our jobs forced us to live in separate places.

Throughout those times,

he continued his studies while living at our relatives' houses.

And during college,

he had to stay in a hostel.

During the vacations,

I would have come home or seen him perhaps once or twice.

He got a job in Bangalore.

And now, he lives in Canada.

How's he supposed to feel any attachment to us?

We’ll only get back what we’ve given him, right?

Let them go ahead with their own decisions, at least now.

Let's not stop them.

Then...

what about the baby?

- Don't you worry, Son.

I was much worse at studying than you are.

I've got so many whippings from my dad for that.

That bed-seller dude in our house?

Your Uncle?

He’s been smacked around plenty too.

I got a job in that vacancy when my dad passed away while he was in service.

And it was never due to my own efforts.

Now, if I die while still in service,

you will be able to take my job.

Dad...

Dad!

Don't say that, Dad.

I will try.

I will try very hard and earn a job somehow.

Dad...

When we see the usual plantain trees in the yard,

we don't expect them to be this expensive.

I will try some other way, Dad.

What way?

Son, I’ve worked tirelessly, day and night,

yet my CIBIL score isn’t good enough.

Then how would you?

There was some of your mom's gold stored in a locker here.

I withdrew it.

I safeguarded it in her memory,

no matter what else I lost.

You can pledge this.

Let things go as planned.

Is this necessary, Dad?

It's alright, Son.

I can understand.

So will your Mom.

Just remember that, always.

Don't you worry, Son.

We will take care of the baby.

You'll come back home once in a while, won't you?

Yes.

It is something every parent wishes for:

to have their children by their side during their last days.

But...

when their kids in Canada or the U.S. finally get back,

often,

everything will already be over.

That's what I am worried about.

- Hey, Son...

Grandpa!

How long will it take for a plantain tree to yield fruit?

It will take around 300 days.

Which means?

Nine to ten months.

So, that means the time it takes for a baby to be born, right?

Yes.

Then try planting some.

Let's see if what you're going to plant is the real plantain tree

or if what he planted is the real one,

or if the one I planted is the real deal.

Let's find out.

Dad, are you crying?

♪ My son, no man will show his tears outside ♪

♪ One day, your father will see what's in your heart ♪

♪ My son, that's enough to fill any man's heart ♪

- One does not become a hero

- by marrying the girl he loves

- or by becoming a doctor, engineer, or collector.

- It’s when your father accepts you for who you are.

Catch!

Oh, no! Dad is here.

- Let's go. - Bye, see you later.

Bye!

- Will you come tomorrow? - Only if Dad lets us.

I will also come if he is allowed to come.

Where were you all this while?

I've been honking for so long.

It's nothing, Dad. Those guys were just telling me a story.

What story?

Regardless of what anyone says, we should live according to our wishes.

Otherwise, our life will be a failure.

So, I have decided something.

- What have you decided? - I want to be like Armstrong.

It's good that you aspire to be like Armstrong.

Astronauts are in high demand now.

No, Armstrong is a cycle champion!

I want to be like Schumacher!

Don’t play any cycle or circus games.

You better study well and earn an IPS.

That's not my dream, Dad.

A policeman once told that Chettan that we should fly with our wings wide open.

Hatch out of your shell first.

Think about spreading your wings after that.

If the police have advised them, they must be up to no good.

You should only listen to me.

Make sure you earn the IPS and become a Commissioner.

- Understood? - Yes.

Instead of having these twerps, I should have just...

All of our plans will work out well.

It will, dude. How else could it go?

But there is a minor issue.

Monsoons are coming up, right?

Will the rain turn on us?

Hold that cursed tongue and zip it!

Shall I say something?

There won't be any rain this year.

Who told you?

See for yourselves.

What awaits us is an age of severe drought!

It’s not just that there won’t be a monsoon this year;

you also won't have enough water for your needs.

There will be severe humidity.

The grain crops won’t be receiving any favourable rain this year.

The forests and mountains won’t be getting as much rain as they did last year.

What awaits us is an age of severe drought!

- Are they such idiots to plant plantain trees next to a river?

- They would have done it for better irrigation!

And the plantains finally ended up in the river now.

Poor chaps.

They didn't even get to eat a single fruit from their farm.

They must be wailing loud and hard right now

Don't laugh behind their backs.

How about we call and console them?

You do something. Arrange some buckets.

Let's clear out all the water and bring them some joy.

Hey, accept the situation, dude.

- Let it go. - Okay.

Now...

It's time for our story!

Right.

- Let's show them what we're made of. - Our time is going to start now!

What you said is correct. Chechi, bring us four more banana fritters.

I have a unique idea!

- What? - What?

- We... - We?

- We... - We?

- are going abroad. - For what?

For education, part-time job, sports and games...

This is like some company's ad, man!

- With living-together! - Skipped!

Hey, don't skip it. This is life, Vinayak.

Okay.

- Allen, I am taking your banana fritter. - Time to end the diet.

It will cost some cash to go abroad, by the way.

There is a lot of cash with me, dude.

Superb! Then you should pay for the banana fritters as well.

- But I don't have that much cash. - You don't have that much cash?

Then you should pay it.

- I don't have any money... - Huh?

You don't have any money either?

You don't even have money to pay for these fritters and you want to go abroad?

Don't you need ₹20 to get from here to there?

How will you go abroad then?

Keep the fritters here.

To hell with these fritter fans.

Huh?

Make the owner understand. I will come with the money.

Hey, stop there. I am coming too!
