Original subtitles

Who am I, really?

Who am I?

Is this my life?

No

What exactly am I?

No, No, No

This is not me

I wanted to be an actor

I am the uncle of deception

The brother of betrayal

Son of Injustice

I am the father of the trust

I was born today

and it has been 10,585 days

which is

29 years

Since childhood,

I've been chasing my dream of becoming an actor

I have been running, running, running...

But, I realized.

I was running in the wrong direction

After several conversations

I realised it

First, my father

Second, my only friend

I don't even know his name

These three perspectives bought my life

from here to here

and from there to here.

During this journey, I cried,

laughed,

got angry,

and I fought.

It's a long journey.

The motive of my story

is not where I went.

But why I went.

Let us look at the conversations

that led me to go on an unexpected journey

I'll give you a scene from the movie I'm about to do.

Do that. Okay sir.

The scene is,

your friend came to your house.

You're not at home.

Your sister is the only one there.

He's drunk.

He raped your lonely sister.

If you face him knowing that

what's your reaction?

One minute, sir.

Sure.

Ready, sir.

You switch on the camera.

Ready?

Hey.

A friend can take a bath together,

but shouldn't cheat like this.

Hey

Man

I'm your friend.

Couldn't you think from that angle?

Hey.

Whatever you did was wrong.

How could you do this to my sister?

That's horrible dude

Shit

Don't talk to me again.

Bye.

It's over sir.

What happened?

I told you right?

He said, he'll call again.

Both he and I know that he is not going to call me.

Hey.

What do I lack?

I am tall.

I'm good looking. I look fair.

I've done good short films too.

What more do they want?

Will tell you something that might trigger you

Tell me.

Whatever I say, it is for your good.

Stop using your father's name.

Everyone will think you're a recommendation candidate.

Are you mad?

If I use his name, they are at least letting me in.

That's it.

I'm telling you that they'll judge you first.

You have to give the audition anyway.

Give it on your own.

Do you need to use your father's name for that?

For how many more days will he continue to recommend you?

Half of them allow you in the office only because of his name.

You know that, right?

I'm telling you, you're 29 already.

And it's high time for you.

You have to be on your own.

Friend.

Tells you in way that you understand.

Mother.

She'll tell without hurting you.

But dad.

Their words hit us hard

He'll tell you the truth

even if your eyes are teary

It's okay. Tell me, dad.

Come and sit.

I need to talk to you.

If your girlfriend wants to talk to you,

she might break up with you.

If your father says the same thing,

it means you're not doing anything in life.

Time for conversation number one.

You went for the audition, right?

What happened?

Dint they tell they would call you back?

Yes, dad.

Look, Sathya.

You don't know acting. Everybody knows that.

Dad, I know acting.

I will do it.

Then where are the opportunities

They will Dad

Might take some time

See

No more acting.

Forget it

Do not waste your time

Take a job.

Earn your own income. Then spend as much as you want.

Understood?

I don't need your money or recommendations, Dad.

Then, what are you doing here? Can't you go away?

And what's the point of me working hard to earn?

We have everything, right?

I have everything.

These are all mine.

I didn't work hard

just to provide for you

I worked hard for my family and

you should work hard for your family.

There is nowhere for him to stand,

but he is arguing with me.

When you go to auditions,

Nobody is even picking up the phone.

I don't know what to say.

Give 2 minutes of your time to your dad.

He will prove that you are useless.

I can't use his recommendations

after my father rejected.

That's why I used my own intelligence.

Conversation number two.

I don't even know his name.

But his words pierced stronger

than my father's words.

The best thing about strangers,

they don't give a fuck about you.

Sit down. Tell me.

I got an audition call.

Come to the frame.

A bit to the right.

A bit to the right.

A bit more.

Enough.

So, the scene is a love failure scene, brother.

So, you are meeting your girlfriend

for the last time in a railway station.

You are trying to convince her.

That's it. Okay?

Okay? Just a minute.

Okay.

Ready, brother.

Ready?

Priya.

How can you live without me?

Cut. Cut.

Okay.

Okay, brother.

I will do it again, if you need.

I will call you again.

Okay?

It's okay, brother.

No. No. No.

Enough. It's good.

I will definitely call you.

Okay?

Faizal.

Brother.

Can you tell me how I did?

You did very well. Really. Very well.

I mean, not like that.

If you could be honest,

It can help my career

That's why I am asking.

Shall I tell you the truth?

I have never seen such a worst performance my life.

So,

I am telling you because you asked.

Stop this acting and do something else.

Really.

Okay.

No matter how many people live in this world.

Till death, you are the only one to stay with yourself.

No matter what defects you have.

You have to move towards what you desire.

There is no one called a friend for this life.

Success won't be yours if you don't fight.

If you get hurt, don't ask for help.

Live in that pain.

Till you find yourself.

Sometimes a father,

he might deny your existence

But friends are not like that.

They are a bit dangerous.

Till you realize the mistake you did, they keep stabbing you.

This is that last conversation.

The eye-opener.

Why are you crying?

Nothing will happen to him. I am here, right?

After all, an assistant director.

He is worthless.

He says I don't know acting!

He says I should look for some other job.

Even my father says the same thing.

How do I look like to these people?

Why are you talking like this?

There is someone who is about to

loose his life because of you.

He is critical condition.

Leaving all that, you are talking...

I don't care.

I will think about my acting and career.

Why will I think about him?

What if he was dead?

Let him be.

I don't give a fuck.

What's so good about these people?

Forget about the whole world

I am telling you.

You are the worst actor I have ever seen.

I have never seen such a worst actor like you in my entire life.

Yes.

Whenever you acted, did you look at your face?

You don't even make a single expression.

Whenever I drink, I will watch your short film and laugh.

Do you know that?

And you are a fucking robot.

Hey!

What?

I am your only friend.

You can't bear if I say a single word.

You have been living on what your father gave you since childhood.

You don't know what is difficulty.

You don't know what is hunger.

You don't know what is pain.

How do you plan to see life?

If you don't know anything about life,

it's very difficult to become an actor.

Let me ask you one thing.

Tell me a name of a good actor who lives happily...

and enjoys himself in his life without any difficulties.

There is no one.

Other than getting angry and talking

proudly, what else do you know?

To be a good actor, you need empathy and compassion.

One, you should have a genuine pain.

Two, at least you should know the pain of others.

If not these two...

your dad must be a big hero in the 90s.

You are on your own.

If you do software job like me, you will know.

Hey, sorry.

Don't feel bad.

I just said something out of anger.

If I had a mom, I would have known everything.

Hey, nothing like that.

Your dad didn't do anything less for you.

But, one thing is true.

If you want to become an actor, stop depending on your dad.

Go out and live your own life.

Only if you live like that, you will know what life is.

Only if you know all the emotions,

you can express it like an artist.

Once you go and live among people,

Nothing will happen.

Don't worry.

Come.

Come.

I understood after hearing so many truths.

What my path is.

But,

I still don't know who I am.

To know what I am,

is this journey.

The attitude is, I will fly.

What is the attitude?

What is the attitude?

I will...

I will...

You have not for eaten 3 days. I will fly.

Now, repeat with me.

Repeat with me all of you, will you?

I will fly.

I am.

I am.

Born with potential.

I am...

born with goodness and trust.

I am born with ideas and dreams.

I am born with greatness.

I am born with confidence.

For the question that time asks

be the answer and go forward.

Knowing what is not yours and what is not for you.

Nothing is forever. Don't forget this truth.

No matter how many possessions you have,

Not one soul will come with you.

Mingle with everyone and be yourself.

Isn't life a song of collected memories?

Heart teaches tears to eyes.

The path that you don't take.

Your silence is your company.

Walk towards your goal.

Don't dream for a soft road.

Believe that a road of thorns is also yours.

You know hunger when you don't have money.

If that day comes to you.

You will be born again.

Don't fight with others. Fight with yourself.

Don't cry out of pain if your heart bleeds.

Don't despair if you get alms.

Rise from the corners of death, take a new life and rise to the sky.

Hold your fists tightly. Strike with your claws so that the boiling blood will rise.

Face. Strengthen. Fight. Stand. Win the success in the world.

Rahul!

Tell me!

You asked me to do things

It is very uncomfortable.

They are looking at me!

I am planning to come back.

I don't know where you are and what you are doing.

But, this is the best decision of your life.

Rahul!

Hello!

Best offer, sir!

Mobile phone for Rs.10,000 only.

Best offer, sir!

Mobile phone for Rs. 10,000 only.

Best offer, sir!

Rs. 10,000 Sir. Best offer, sir!

Mobile phone for Rs.10,000 only. Best offer, sir!

Mobile phone for Rs.10,000 only. Best offer, sir!

Sir, iPhone, sir, best…

Mobile… Phone…

Sir, ten thousand, sir, best offer, sir…

Okay, take it.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

What’s in the bag? Drugs?

You look really strange here

There should be something in the bag,

Check his bag!

Give it to me. Let me check

Where are you escaping to?

Don’t let him leave!

Catch him

We don’t wanna see you in this area again!

If you show up again we will inform the police. Now, Get out!!!

Who are you?

Who are you? Why are you here?

What?

Is it Chinese?

Hahaha

Here… does anyone…

How long will you stare, dude?

I am almost done, wait!

Know, Telugu?

Yeah, I do.

My name is D. Salman

Oh, Salman!

No, D. Salman

Okay. D.Salman. Am Satya.

Satya, what are you doing here?

Did you too come to make a documentary about our village?

No, just casually…

Casually?

Where are you coming from?

Hyderabad

Oh, Hyderabad?

Yes.

That's the city where Saddam Hussein is, right?

It's Hussain Sagar.

Haha.

Both are Hussain anyway!

Okay, what do you do there?

I'm an actor.

Oh, hero?

Not really, I just try my luck…

Oh!

By the way, how do you know Telugu?

Do you have time?

Hmm, yes.

I used to go daily to the bus stop,

wait for a girl,

and smile beautifully.

(Smiles) That girl used to look at me and smile too!

She smiled everyday!

One day…

I didn't understand what was written in it.

She wrote it in Telugu, she was a Telugu girl.

Not knowing what to do.

I left.

Poor girl

she felt bad that a handsome guy like me said nothing!

I wanted to learn Telugu for her.

Films, songs, news… I followed

everything in Telugu since then

I learned Telugu without reading any

book such as "Learn Telugu in 30 Days"

I gifted her things

that no one would have even imagined.

What did you write?

"I know that, and I like you too", I wrote

What did she write?

"Your smile is beautiful. I like you"

And then began our little fights

Tiny arguments,

we parted ways like everyone else too!

That's why, I sit in the bus stop whenever I think of her.

Our names are there too!

But how does she know Telugu?

Her mother is Telugu too.

She used to wait in the bus stop too.

Her dad smiled at her, like me.

She gave him the lunchbox.

He gave her Monica!

Who's Monica?

What did I just say? She's my lover.

Oh, okay!

I will pay you tomorrow

How are you buddy? All good?

I am okay

Get me a packet of milk and beedi

You still smoke beedi?

Yes

What is this?

This is for breakfast

You didn’t go fishing today?

No

I was late

Slept off

Who's he?

He's my Friend from Hyderabad.

Actor.

Actor?

Sir, I'm Interested in acting.

Please give me a chance, only one chance.

What's he saying?

He's interested in acting and asking for a chance.

Yeah! Yeah!

Please!

Do one thing.

Get a six pack.

Let's See

Is this enough?

No

See here,

you tell him.

I will,

I will get it,

No problem.

It's like this here. Everyone has interest in everything!

What's the name of your village?

Kadamakkudy

What?

Kadama..kkudy

Kadamakkudy

Lekha

In a minute

We'll leave after giving this.

Okay!

Salman, This is for you

That's so nice

Thanks.

Now you take this in return

Aren't you getting me this daily?

Salman, Who's this?

He's my friend Satya.

Hi

She is my neighbour, Lekha.

Oh

He is an actor in Hyderabad

Hero?

I'm a small actor, not a hero!

It's all the same.

You don’t know Malayalam?

Telugu. Or English. That's it.

Lekha knows English well.

She reads any wall poster

within five minutes!

Alright. We are leaving.

Just let me know if you need anything. Bye!

Ok. Bye

Keep this shirt in your bag.

You may stay in that room for a couple of days.

Find a place elsewhere later.

Everyone says I have a "bootiful" heart.

Hence the two days.

Others wouldn't help at all.

Thank you, Salman! D. Salman

D. Salman

Ha, that's what, D. Salman!

You bathe, sleep…

There's a restaurant nearby if you wanna eat

I'll go to my office and be back by evening, okay? Okay.

Oh, my…

Satya, had your dinner?

No…

Come, let's eat

I'll go out… I'll eat there.

I've enough for both of us

I've been home all day. I'll go…

Okay

You could have eaten with me, right?

When I noticed the empty pot,

I realised you have been starving.

Just ask if you want anything.

Don't hesitate!

You already gave me a shelter…

Don't worry!

I told you, right?

I have a "bootiful" heart! I'll help as much as I can!

Tell me, what's troubling you so much?

Why are you like this?

Shit.

Worst acting.

You're a fucking robot.

Both pain and trouble hit me at a time in life!

I don't know what to do…

I feel uncomfortable!

So even your dad doesn't know that you're here?

No, no one knows!

Your mother?

Yeah, mom?

I didn't even taste my mother's milk

You city guys…

you only use milk packets!

No… she's no more!

Oh, sad!

It'd have been nice if I had my mom…

We can't live if we keep thinking that way

See, I am an orphan, look at me!

Okay, you told me your story! Now, listen to my story!

Let's see whose "laip" has greater pain!

Okay?

Okay, Okay.

If you must cry listening to story, go ahead and don't hide it!

Okay.

My mom is Razia.

She used to take very good care of me…

Fed me chicken or mutton every day!

But she never answered my questions about my dad

She just says he went to the ground…

My mom is crazy about cricket!

She never watches any other channel.

She watches cricket like it’s a romantic film!

She wanted to see me as a cricketer…

You gotta do it for mom, right?

So, I skipped studies and used to play cricket all the time!

I was the only kid without my dad accompanying, during prize distribution

I felt like crying…

One day, I argued with my mom...

She promised to tell me about my dad if I won the tournament,

For the first time.

I played for my dad instead of my mom!

When I won the match and went home…

Mom was lying on the floor

I cried a lot, but she did not get up…

Mom passed away, No clue about my Dad.

I couldn't stay in that house.

I wanted to come off that place

Tell me now, how big is your pain compared to mine?

If I can be happy with so much pain,

can't you be happy too?

I'll be.

Okay, go sleep.

You may have been disturbed much by my story.

I'll take you to a "bootiful" place tomorrow.

My office.

Okay.

This is how it is,

people play football every evening after work,

for relaxation!

Do you play football?

No.

It's okay. Just play with us for fun

No, I don't even know the basics!

You'll learn as you play, come on!

We can easily win the game against them!

What's up Tommy?

This is Satya. My friend from Hyderabad

This is Roshan, Baby, Antony, Tom

You know me. Right?

We are good to play?

Let's play then Yes. Let's start

Guys, come on. Pass it here! Tom,

move forward! Satya, here you go!

What's he doing with the ball?

What play is that?

I don’t think he knows to play!

Satya, do one thing! Be a goalkeeper

No, I'll play

Listen to me, goalkeeping is the best for you now.

Why can't I?

Why can't I?

Why can't I?

Why does everyone tell I cant do it?

Why can't I?

Salman!

That was really good!

I got some vegetables for you. What is there to eat?

I made fish curry, you can check it out.

Your voice is too good.

Thank you!

Do you like singing?

Only a little!

No big.

Food?

No, no, I'll go home.

Come, eat.

No, it's okay, it's okay!

Tomorrow, dinner, here.

Special, my party. Okay?

Why?

You're my guest.

No, it's okay.

Salman.

You both must have dinner here tomorrow.

Okay

I am gonna cook beef curry

What?

She says we must have dinner here tomorrow.

Lekha cooks beef very well.

Then see you tomorrow

Tomorrow, dinner. Yeah.

Bye, bye.

Satya, do you booze?

What, now?

Yes

Hmm, no

I'm gonna booze anyway

Why drink alone! I'll give you company.

Okay

Okay, but on one condition!

Don't talk about your dad or

your troubles after you booze!

Hey, no! I don't usually talk.

I told that day because you asked.

How can I my dad say? My own dad..

How can he say that I cannot act!

Right, your dad should have supported you!

But why did you want to choose only acting?

"Do you have time? Yes."

It was January 15, 2003.

Where to?

Flash Back

Like in every town, even my town

had a theatre where dubbed films played

Couldn't get tickets for Mahesh Babu's movie.

So I went there.

That movie was

"Sathyame Shivam"

The people of Tamil Nadu call actor Kamal Haasan

"Aandavar"

"Aandavar" means God.

God of acting

I didn't get it back then.

I realised after watching that film.

All heroes make us whistle, and send us back home.

But Aandavar introduced us to the world of cinema

That day he introduced cinema to me.

He took me to a beautiful world and said

Welcome, This is Cinema.

Is it humanly possible to act like that!

That too, with a deformed face!

That's when I decided I'll be an actor!

Are you a fan of Kamal?

Is it not clear after listening to me?

You can't just call yourself a

fan! You need to act like him!

"Like Kamal sir? Yes."

Impossible! Not just me, no one can!

Not at all, it's easy!

Are you kidding? Easy, you say! Try and you'll know!

A lot of aspirants get inspired by him,

but no one can act like him!

I'll act!

What you did is not an ordinary betrayal

Betrayal of the nation

Because you took it for yourself,

those under you got used to taking it too

In the same way,

Municipality,

Panchayat,

Purchase and Sale

Agriculture and Electrical Power

Education, Marriage and Death

They are corrupting everything with bribes,

Preventing the country from progressing

Air Pollution,

Land Pollution,

Water Pollution,

They have gradually brought down

this resource-rich country to ruin

They are trading by mortgaging the country

Small neighboring islands are developing well

How?

Damn it, everyone can act!

Hey, Sathya!

Sathya!

Salman, look!

Dear?

Who are you? Why are you here?

Can you hear me?

Dear?

"Do you think she's Telugu?

Don't know."

Dear

Who'd have left this little girl here!

Why risk it? Let's take her to the police station!

Okay, you carry the girl.

What, me?

Yeah, I have to steer the boat, right!

"Be careful. Yeah, okay."

Salman,

she's trying to tell something!

What happened?

Ask her what happened?

What happened dear?

Don’t be afraid!

Dad…mom

I don’t know what he did

but the pain is unbearable

Sir, he… You know what he did…?

Sir, you don’t know what he did. This filthy son of a bitch! Leave me

Just tell me what happened.

Tell him

She's a little girl

He took her and...

can you... can you tell him in Malayalam?

The girl's mother will come now. Be seated.

They informed her mom. She's coming.

They dressed the girl and took her to the hospital for tests.

They'll be back soon.

Let's wait

Okay.

No, I am not used to it!

Even I wasn't. My friend taught me! It feels free and light.

What if it gets loose?

That's why I'm tying it tight!

If mine gets untied, I'll take your lungi!

I've not even worn an underwear!

"Then tie the lungi lower!"

Here we are.

Yeah. I am coming

Ready, ready

Give it to me.

Hey, hero!

Lungi! Super!

Thank you!

Be seated. Dinner is ready. I'll get it. Yeah!

You...

Oh, boy! Beef is gonna get cold!

One minute, I'll be right back!

A strange mischief…

Reflects in the eyes…

A strange mischief…

Reflects in the eyes…

Whatever mystery this magic is…

Heart has become a baby and is rejoicing...

Whatever mystery this magic is…

Heart has become a baby and is rejoicing...

You, yeah… You're the affection in my heart!

Salman…

D. Salman!

Yeah!

I was feeling nice last night…

There was a cool breeze… something was different!

See,

that's why I suggested you wear a lungi!

By the way, where's Lekha from?

Coimbatore, I guess.

She's been here for the past 7 months

What about her family?

Not sure about the family, but

She has some visitors sometimes

When I asked, she said it’s her brother

Husband then?

He isn't there.

Do you think he left her?

Don't know!

But she doesn't respond

when asked about her husband!

Do you think there's one?

You go ask her!

I guess, it's none of our business, Salman!

D. Salman!

Yeah, D. Salman!

Stop smoking the beedi if you want me to call you so!

Cut.

You don’t even have a dialogue. Can’t you just do as simple as this?

What is happening, Tom?

It's a short film

There is no use standing here. Even I couldn’t get a chance

Don’t you even understand this? How long have I been telling you!

Why don't you try?

Why would they let me!

He's scolding someone that he's not acting right… let's ask!

Hey, Salman, wait! Salman! Hey…

Bro, are you looking for someone to act?

Can he get a chance?

Chance… Okay, ask him to come here. Let me see!

Sure

Just a small character. I told him you know Malayalam

Malayalam.. And me.. I'll go, you go do it.

You aren't a hero! Just ten seconds, come!

No…no!

If you can’t do it, just leave. You move out. You come here

It's a simple scene.

What did he say?

Nothing, it's easy!

The hero comes run all tensed and bumps into you.

You fold your lungi up, twitch your mustache,

and say “Come here!â€

Repeat?

The hero comes run all tensed and bumps into you.

You fold your lungi up, twitch your mustache, and say “Come here!â€

Very easy, come on!

Start..! Camera.. Rolling... Action!

Cut!

One more, one more, sir! ...One more!

I don’t think this scene will happen

Damn it!

Lights

Camera

Rolling

Action!

Come here, dude!

Cut!

Nice! Next!

Well done.

Hey Sathya!

Sathya

HERO

Even if we travel worldwide,

we love our home which is engraved in our heart.

Even if we die,

we love this place which fed us when we starved

Even if many struggles lay ahead of us,

we love our place which always stood by us

Even if people say its just a marshy land, our love for

the land will make us wait till the clay in water settles down

Bro,

One black tea!

Hello!

Hello!

How are you, dude?

I'm Fine.

Dude, I told you to just go around,

not to stay back there!

Yeah, dude! I've got some things to do…

You're idle even here! What work have you got there?

Found some girl or what?

It's my personal work

You only know a little Malayalam, stop!

Jealous that you don’t know Malayalam, eh?

Duh!

Anyway, how's my dad?

He's good.

I told him you're getting trained at Mammootty Acting School in Kerala!

Don't tell whatever comes to you.

My dad will ask a course completion certificate!

What do I do?

Your dad is the only company for drinking

I've to come all the way to Kerala for your company!

When you guys are drunk, your dad and you talk about each other interestingly!

Call your dad up if you can. It's been two months, right!

Yeah, yeah, I'll. …Okay, I'll talk later, gotta do something!

Yeah, bye. Bye!

Bro, a milk packet, please.

Hey…! Hero!

Hi

Oh, milk?

You did this for me?

Yeah!

Thank you!

Have some tea and go.

Hmm, okay.

Hero…!

Do you speak Malayalam now?

No, I'll learn.

When are you going to Hyderabad?

I don't know. …I like here!

I like Hyderabad

Did you visit Hyderabad?

No…! The calendar…!

Saddam Hussein!

No, it's Hussain Sagar. Not Saddam Hussein!

Sorry, it's not me.

Salman told me so.

Yeah, I know.

Your husband… where's he?

Husband... Hmm...

Don't worry, it's okay.

Thanks.

Okay.

You forgot the hat

I wore it as it's sunny!

Sunny?

I feel it sunny

What happened, dude?

Don't I seem okay?

Can I ask you something, Salman?

Ask me whatever, but call me "D. Salman"!

That's what, D. Salman!

You had a lover, right?

Who proposed first?

"Do you have time? No."

"It was a rainy night… Don't.

Just tell me who proposed first."

What question is this! We gotta tell first.

Girls don't say anything.

They just gives us the "looks". We must understand.

What if we don't?

"Don't you know anything? No."

We must tell.

They don't.

Just the looks…

that's why guys like girls' eyes the most.

By the way,

How does one say "I love you" in Malayalam?

"[Tells in Malayalam] What? [D. Salman repeats] [Satya repeats a few times]"

[Repeats a few times]

[Satya keeps repeating "I love you" in Malayalam]

[Tries to recollect the phrase]

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!

It’s an honour to receive an Oscar, in front of my favourite director, Scorsese!

Greetings sir!

Now, if you please excuse me, I'd like to switch to my mother tongue.

My wife Lekha is the reason for my success

and status and for me to win this award!

All this would be impossible without her!

So, I wanna dedicate this award to my wife, Lekha!

This is impossible without her!

Thank you, once again!

"It's okay, it's okay… No, no, no!

You're like my brother!"

Brother!?

Hey, what happened?

Take me out of here before she calls me her father!

Come here. I can take care of this.

You are carrying a baby, You shouldn’t do you do all this?

Go. Go.

Brother! God damn it!

Take back all your gifts!

Don't ever show me your face again!

For just a little mistake?

Little mistake, you say?

You wrote our names in the bus stop!

My dad got to know it!

Do you know how big a fight it was at home?

They plan to get me married!

That's good, right?

Not with you, Salman!

I can't say if you're innocent or foolish!

No one can stay with you forever if you're like this, Salman!

You told earlier that we can always be happy if I'm like this…

Why are you contradicting yourself now?

It was a different situation.

I can't anyway change. I lived as an orphan... I can live without you too.

"Why can't you talk without thinking so..? Just go!"

You forgot the goggles this time!

Damn it!

Can I ask you something?

What's that?

Tea!

Not that. What did you wanna ask?

Why do you have that expression?

Why would I write a board asking if someone knows Telugu, if I could read Malayalam?

I forgot

My lover's marriage… 8 years of love… that's the reason.

What can we do then? Let's get some drinks!

No, I'm not boozing. I quit long back, dude.

Hey, wait, I'll call back!

Why did you get so much?

8 years of love, right? This lot is justified!

Hmm, okay, let's go!

Didn't you get any snacks?

You know I don't booze without snacks, right?

Adjust this one time, Satya! Love failure, right?

You give this reason for everything! Fine, let's go!

It'd be have been better if we had stuff to munch…

How can she marry without even telling me!?

You deserve it, you didn't get stuff to munch, right!

How can she marry?

Better if we had stuff

Love failure, dude, please adjust!

"Stuff. Love failure. Adjust."

"Stuff. Love failure. Stuff. Adjust."

Stuff

"You need stuff, you said, right? Yes, Come with me!"

It's too cold. Can we go by car?

We just have a bicycle, right!

I saw you somewhere…

My heart got cheated for the first time, because of you…

Dreams… lost… all because of you! When did you arrive?

Most of the invited guests have come Isn’t that Salman?

I told you not to show up again? What do you

want? Who are you? I haven’t seen you here before?

Not me. Dude, what's this? Get lost from here

Oh my life, hide the pain in the heart!

You won me with your eyes. I loved like a madman!

The mistake is yours! Can't express my love to you!

Leave him, please

Dad, Leave him. I will talk to him

Salman, you said you'd not create a scene!

Why did you come?

I want chicken.

What?!

I boozed as I was sad. We need stuff too, right?

My friend.

Living Legend!

Why do you laugh like that?

Her husband looks worse than me!

Not much of a difference anyway!

But she has to live with him lifelong, right!

By the way, how did such a beautiful girl fall for you?

Why does everyone ask the same thing?!

Anyone falls for my "bootiful" heart!

Oh, boy!

Where's the bicycle?

Yeah, where's the bicycle?!

Someone stole it just like that! That's why I told we must go by car!

Okay, let's go by car now!

[Song playing on car audio]

Would you stop the car for a minute?

What for?

[Song playing on car audio]

D.Salmon

Hey Salmon!

D Salmon

What's this?

I saw my lover after a long time.

So, old memories came back

What the hell! Get into the car without a word now!

Two minutes…

Salman, come sit in the car first!

Come!

I'll kill you if you touch chicken with that hand!

"You're not my friend at all!

Eh?"

Sathya

Sathya

It's been long since I came to Kerala too…

Even I didn't go anywhere since I arrived…!

So?

If you're so desperate, …let's go!

Where to?

Do I believe that you Keralites don't even understand what I just said?

I didn't get it really!

Hmm…

some Junior Reshma, Maria, someone will be there, right?

Oh, you meant to refer to call girls?

"This is friendship! I'll tell you the address. You go! Okay!"

Why are you eating it now?

"Got to put in some hard work, right? Oh, yeah!"

Is the girl gonna be so good looking?

Kickass!

Really? Oh, yeah!"

Hello!

Thanks, buddy!

Why did you say "thanks"?

It's my birthday today

Oh, Satya, if you told earlier, we could have arranged for cake-cutting!

"It's okay, it's okay… Happy birthday, happy birthday! …Come, let's go!"

Oh, my, I've seen Khushboo on TV only so far!

I'm gonna see her really for the first time!

I am in the queue Bro, what is this?

Between the two of us, we came here first! We just need five minutes

Dude, not just five minutes! It's gonna be an all-nighter!

Bro, please.

I just need two minutes

Hey, no way, it's my birthday today!

Oh, Satya, if you told earlier, we could have arranged for cake-cutting!

Happy birthday, Satya! Happy birthday!

It's your birthday, right! Come, Satya, we'll go first.

Hey, I came first

Bro, give us just one minute

No way

"Dude, why are we talking to him here? Nothing, let's go!"

Do you want me to? No.

Satya, hey, Satya…!

Son of a...!

Sir, Namaste!

You people again?

Come to the station!

We're not used to it, sir.

Come!

Come

Get into the jeep.

I came first sir Then you must get in first

He's a criminal. He murdered eight people, looted 2 kg gold!

He then ran off to Dubai

We got him now because of you both

That's the only reason, I'm leaving you people.

Killed four, looted 2 kg gold and escaped to Dubai..

Is that what he said?

Yes.

Come over!

What is your name?

Kamal Hasan, sir

Then are you Rajinikanth?

No, sir. I am D. Salman

How dare you're kidding with me?

Sir, He is listening! So we can’t reveal our names. I'm scared.

Oh, God! Vincent,

get their details and send them

Hey

Happy birthday!

Dude, how farther should we go!

It's close by. Just 10 more minutes…

My legs are aching!

Hey…! This is our bicycle, right?

This bicycle is ours

I've seen you somewhere

"Hello! Happy birthday!

Thanks, dad!"

"Are you eating on time? Yes!

Take care. Take care of your health!"

"Dad, it's time for my acting class. I'll call later. Okay."

Thanks for what?

Today is my birthday, right!

Oh, Satya, you should have told earlier...

You've been saying it all night!

Oh, did I?

Got to give a break to boozing!

Booze this one day and then give it a break!

Why so?

My birthday can never be without alcohol!

Oh, yeah, right!

Get ready, and I'll take you to a "bootiful" pub!

Sunny came dancing on all fours

He’s drunk with a belly full of liquor, like a drunkard

The drunk Chandi sneaked into the kitchen to meet his lover.

Seeing the grandma, he bumped into her in his drunken state.

In his drunken state, he slipped and fell.

In his drunken state, he slipped and fell.

He staggered and accidentally fell into hot oil.

A big gang at a wedding somewhere in Kovalam.

While having a good drink and fully enjoying themselves.

When they discovered that all the big gifts brought by the guests were just dummies.

As they were running away with the wedding utensils and pots in hand.

The brother-in-law was singing a song while drinking.

Meanwhile, the uncle was still dancing on all fours

He, on the other hand, started drinking buttermilk to sober up

Thomas bro,

Super!

Excellent!

Thank you!

He sung well, right! This is our bar, disco, pub, …everything!

Darling, ask him to sing a song! Kamal Hasan's song, please!

It's his birthday.

He's a Kamal Hasan fan.

So sing a good song of Kamal Hasan

Ulaganayagan ("Universal Hero")?

Sprinkle humanity in the path you walk

…sharing the joy of your companions!

There're others who don't get a little love…

…embrace them like a newborn baby!

You'll be human on the day you wish everyone's good.

Change starts within you only when you realise this truth!

Like your past self crosses your path and asks you who you are…

…Rewrite your story, this minute, heartily!

Poor is really one who lack love...

Never let that lack creep into you!

All questions end with the touch of love!

Once you experience it, you'll be born again!

Oh, Dear!

Look at our girl

Look how cute she looks

My Dear.

Let's go home dear

Hold on

Who are you?

This is our child

You came to our village and claiming this child is yours?

She is our child!

Don’t create a scene. I'll call the police

Who are you to ask all this?

We cannot give you this child. You go and ask the girl who lives here

Who are you to tell us all that? Run!

I lied to all of you, Salman!

I have a family too, a poor one. I have to feed them

I didn’t know what else to do.

I was told, If I deliver a baby for them, I would get some money in return.

I had no choice but to accept it.

Don't cry

Nobody likes such kind of things. The society will never accept all this.

You all will understand only if you stand in my shoes

It's not like have I have done any harm to that kid.

They will really take care of the baby

I couldn’t beg or sleep with someone for money.

But you could have told us

I haven’t even told anyone at my home.

I was told not to inform anyone about it

I don’t care if the people in this village know about it now.

But nobody in my hometown should know about it

That's the reason I shifted to this place temporarily

I will leave after a few days

It's not her child. She did it for money…

I got it.

For the first time, I'm sad I understood Malayalam!

Surrogacy was stylish to listen to, when in Hyderabad… but now…

Little baby.. I am unable to stand it when they took her away from my hands!

…How can she live leaving the baby?!

For money, is it!? Damn!

We don't know her situations, right!

She says she has a family and she didn't know what to do for money!

Right!

For us,

Giving birth for money or sex for money,

both are considered wrong.

She said she'd leave to her hometown in a few days!

Keep the bag,

will get something.

Bye, hero!

I need to tell you something…

I had feelings for...

I know everything.

How long are you gonna be like this?

Everything seems so heavy all at once…!

Lekha.. The little girl… Her life… Leaving us…

I always wanted to stay smiling but… someday, it'd be tough!

Mr. D. Salman, when I came here, …I was exactly like this!

You boosted my spirits then…

But today I realise that I was this pathetic!

You always be, right, like a normal human… continue to be like that!

It's easy to say that but not so easy to do it!

Yours is a bootiful heart, right! You sure can do it easy!

How are you being though?

I thought you'd throw yourself under the train while walking on the tracks!

Is that why you hid the knife in the kitchen?!

Of course, yes! You used to cry for everything!

Oh, boy, Salman!

Do you think I'll forget if I am feeling low? D. Salman!

Yeah, right, D. Salman!

Troubles, pains, insults… keep happening in life! I got it.

Without shame or scare, we need to move on, adapting to the situation.

I was someone who used to be home within ten minutes when it rained

See how I'm enjoying the rain here now!

Every moment of life is a celebration!

What happiness can be found in such times, except trauma!

It doesn’t show itself. We need to find it. Come, come on!

Satya?

Sathya

Bro, did Satya come here?

No

You didn't see him at all?

He wasn't here.

Kannan bro, Did Satya come here?

No.

My friend

No

I went there selfishly, to become a good human so that I can be a good actor

I turned human! I'm not sad that I'm not an actor…

…nor am I happy that I became a writer…

except for the thought that I must move on, doing what I like!

I am still selfish… I've this selfishness to not harm anyone in any way!

Selfishness to love humans, to understand and help...!

My selfishness is good until it does not hurt anyone!

Yeah, I'll see that the project is completed by tomorrow.

Yeah, I've already spoken to the client as well, don't worry!

Okay.

…I'll give you a call back.

When did you even come, dude!

Get this published without changing a single letter in it!

Hey! Dunno when you'll come or go! Where to now?

Who are you?

Telugu here. I don't know Malayalam.

Telugu again! …Are you from Hyderabad too?

No, Tirupati.

"Tirupati? The place famous for laddu, right? Yes!"

Why did you come? To make a documentary on our village?

No, no.. I read good things about your village in a book and came to visit...

"Book? About our village? Yes!"

The reason I wrote this book is "D. Salman"

Everyone gives memories

But D Salman

gave me a new life!

Whenever I saw him,

I felt like a human should live like bird…

"Even if the nest it built has fallen, Even if the branch it sat on broke,"

"In the worst winters, In thunderstorms,

Or in fiery sunny weather,"

…It soars high and flies

Without giving a heed to anything!

How many ever be the troubles…

It trusts its wings so much!

How big the hazard may ever be…

It never loses hope on life!

In my view, bird is a wonder!

If one can live like a bird…

Human can be a wonder too!
