Here.

Have it soon, I have work to do.

Ma...

What, dear?

I am in love, ma

Tell me the truth.

Did your mom throw you out of the house?

Who's the guy?

I am scared, ma.

Why, dear?

What if you don't agree?

Stupid girl.

I'll be okay with whomever you choose.

Is that all you know your mother?

Come on now.

I feel nervous, ma.

I too felt the same way.

When your dad proposed me,

I did not sleep for a week.

For a whole month...

I avoided him.

And that fool thought that I didn't like him.

Hey, come on...

Just tell me how your mom reacted! introduce your guy to me?

So, when are going to introduce your guy to me?

Are you free this Sunday?

Nothing is more important than this. Yes, I am free!

Shall we all meet somewhere outside this Sunday?

Why outside, when we have our house?

Bring him here.

No, let us meet somewhere outside.

Bring him to our house. Bring him for lunch.

What is his name?

How long have you been in this relationship?

Alright, you don't have to answer.

I will ask him myself.

- Wait. - No, no.

- I'll tell. - Don't say a thing.

I will find out everything on Sunday.

Ma...

- Wait. - Nope.

- Let me tell you. - No, don't.

I'll find it out on Sunday. Don't tell me if even I ask!

- Please ma, let me tell you. - No!

'Kaadhal Enbadhu Podhuudamai'

'Love is like the sea sand'

'Love is like the sea sand'

'Hold on to it delicately and it will stay'

'Hold it tight and it will slip away'

'Love is nothing but trust'

'Have trust on your love'

'Your very own - Lakshmi'

Where is she?

- Let's go. - Don't touch the kid.

- Come. - I said, don't touch the kid.

I work hard to provide you food and clothing! I treated you like a queen.

- And you get me beaten up by cops? - Yeah, so?

What is it? Why are you grabbing her hand?

She is my wife! You stay out of this!

I'll finish you off! Everything is over between you two. Get away from us.

- I can take care of my daughter. - Are you going to pimp her out?

I curse you! Get out of here.

- Shall I call them? - Call the police.

Get lost before I call the cops.

You will beg on the streets with your mom. You bitch!

Where is the driver?

Where the hell is he?

You fool. Do you want more police beatings?

Move out before I hit you. Don't you have any sense? Leave!

You will beg on the streets.

Where is the stupid driver?

Sam, open the door.

Come in. It is not locked.

Mary is not picking the call!

If she ever comes, send her back. I don't want to see her again.

I am going for grocery shopping.

Does she think that I'm helpless without her?

I will do the cooking today.

Why bother yourself? We can order something.

Or we will go to a restaurant. That would be a better option.

Why? You don't trust my cooking skills?

I have not completely forgotten to cook.

Forget it, ma.

I know what to do. Why are you whining like I asked you to cook?

Actually...

you should be cooking today.

It will be so romantic.

It will be cute, Sam.

So, what do you want?

Chocolate ice cream.

Does he have curly hair?

Ma!

Sorry. I told you that I wouldn't ask, didn't I?

Hello, Ravindra. Can you come a bit early?

My mom is a bit gloomy today.

I don't want to leave her alone in this state.

What?

Sam...

I don't think that this will work out.

Honestly, I am scared.

You promised me that you will come today.

What? I did not make any promise.

Listen. This might get serious.

Do not over think about it.

Things will go smooth and end peacefully.

I will be glad if that happens. But can't you keep me out of it?

If you don't come with Nandini, you will not see me again, I swear.

What is it?

Are you saying that you will kill yourself? You will not do it.

I will not kill myself, but I will gouge your eyes out.

Forget me, you'll not be able to see anyone again.

Listen to me, Sam... Hello?

- Where is your mom? - She has went out.

Good God!

Jesus!

I'll take them.

- I'll take them. - Leave it.

I will carry them, ma'am.

- Give it to me. - Let go of me.

I'll carry them, please.

I carried them till here. I'll do it myself!

You may leave.

I will not pay you for today.

- Please hear me out. - Don't make me yell at you!

If you leave it half way...

who will do the rest of the dishes?

I told you repeatedly.

That the groom is coming today and so come early.

How many times did I call you?

Can't you answer it for once?

I gave you excessive liberty.

It was my fault.

Your tears will not work on me.

I was in the police station when you called.

Why? What happened?

He will never change, ma'am.

He thrashed my daughter even this morning.

I could not endure it, so I went to the police station.

The S.I ma'am found out that I work here and came forward to help me.

She beat him black and blue.

Good.

He'll reform only if he knows pain.

We don't need him anymore.

I can take care of my daughter.

Make sure that he doesn't harm your daughter again.

I will put in a word to the S.I.

Name, native, caste and religion? Don't you know anything about him?

They love each other. Why bother about the rest?

You should have at least asked his name.

I did...

But she was too shy to tell it.

I also told her...

that I will not ask for anything until Sunday.

I am enjoying this surprise.

You are truly a magnanimous woman.

It is rare to find a woman like you.

Take my case.

I forced my daughter to marry that rogue and ruined her life.

If we truly love someone,

we must let them be and not squeeze them.

If you don't mind, shall I ask you something?

What if you hate the groom when you see him?

What will you do then?

Sam...

- Give me a minute, mom. - Open the door.

I am getting dressed up.

Open the door!

What is it?

I hope your boyfriend is not that DJ Dinesh.

Lakshmi on call.

Put it on speaker.

- Hello. - Yes, Lakshmi.

Sam is seeing someone.

Who is it?

I don't know.

She is bringing him home for lunch today.

It'd be nice if you can come.

Was it planned today?

No...

Sam informed it to me last week.

I thought of informing you, but...

You should have informed me earlier, Lakshmi.

I am busy today. I cannot come.

Anyway, convey my best wishes to Sam.

Okay?

Hang up.

What happened, ma'am?

- What is it? - You must go there.

Abhi...

She wasn't inviting me but just informing.

She doesn't want me there.

Do not over think it. Go and meet the guy.

Do it for Sam. She is a good girl.

Mary, it is awesome.

Thank God, mom didn't cook.

Your mom might hear.

What is his name?

Get on with your work.

Your mom will not forget anything.

Thanks, mom.

Sam... come here for a second.

What is it?

It's a small gift.

Hope your boyfriend likes it.

A small gift from mother-in-law to the thief who stole my daughter's heart.

This is too much.

You haven't met yet, but...

So what?

Alright, I will give it to him.

Here.

- Wear this. - Ma...

I...

will drape this.

We'll wear matching clothes.

What is it?

Come, sit over here.

Don't say no. Do it for me.

I want to see you dressed up like a girl.

No, mom. This is not some matchmaking event.

Let's not get into these formalities. Please.

Alright, I will not force you.

You always dress up in modern attire.

I wanted to see you in traditional attire today.

It's okay.

Here.

At least wear this.

- Ma... - Sam...

- My darling, please. - Alright.

- Sam. - Ma?

- It's dad. - No, mom.

- Talk to him. - Please.

Talk.

Hello.

I am so happy for you, Sam.

Lakshmi told me about it only this morning.

Or else I would have made it.

It's okay.

I am curious to meet the boy.

Anyway...

Is Chinese food still your favourite?

Yeah.

Okay, I will take you two out for dinner sometimes.

You fix the date and time.

Is it fine with you? Hello?

- I'll give the phone to mom. - Hello.

I am so happy that you called.

Thanks.

Come on, ma!

He is your father.

They are here.

Please come.

Ma'am...

Hello.

Mom, that's Nandini and Ravindra.

Hi aunty.

Hello, come in.

Have a seat.

Aunty.

Thank you.

Give me a moment.

You sit here, dear

You sit next to her.

Ma'am?

Have it.

He looks handsome.

Have the sweet.

So, what do you do?

I own a pizza shop.

That explains why Sam fell for you.

Triple Tango is her favourite.

- It is Spicy Triple Tango. - Yeah, right.

Where is it located at?

At Anna Nagar, on the behind Saravana Bhavan.

- Behind Saravana Bhavan? - Behind, on the the left.

Oh okay.

What's the name?

- Ravindra. - I mean the shop's name.

Superstar Pizza.

- You mean... - Let him eat, mom.

Sorry. Please have it.

I am very fond of traditional attire like yours.

- It looks good. - Thanks, aunty.

Give me a minute, I'll be back.

A gift for you.

- Aunty, please. - Take it.

Open it only after you get back home.

Okay.

Where is the restroom?

- Inside that room. - Okay.

Nandini, come I'll show you my room.

Hello.

Lakshmi, is he there?

Yes.

Do you like him?

Yeah.

How does he look?

I won't tell. You could have made it.

Lakshmi...

If you don't mind, can you send his photo to me through Whatsapp?

I do mind. I cannot send his photo.

Didn't I tell you? Sam has a good taste.

Ma'am...

Doesn’t he look fair, like actor Ajith Kumar?

- He seems like a nice guy. - Of course.

I can see it in his face.

Mary, come here.

- Where are you put up? - At Anna Nagar.

Close to my Pizza shop.

Wait.

- Own house? - Yes.

Your parents?

My dad served in the military.

He died in an accident last year.

I am sorry.

It's okay. My mom is staying with me.

You should have come alone.

Why did you bring that girl?

Girls...

Ravindra is waiting alone; what are you two doing there?

- Come down. - In a minute.

Your house is very beautiful, aunty.

- The interior is awesome. - Thank you.

Lunch is ready. Please come.

Come.

Come.

Sit.

You sit there, Sam. You sit here, dear.

You please sit.

- Serve the food. - Okay.

Akka (Sister)...

- Salt? - It's over there.

- Fine. - Sure?

Serve him.

Sorry.

Enough.

Feel free. Consider it as your home and eat to your heart's content.

I eat less even at home.

It's alright, eat well here.

Have a papad.

Thank you, aunty.

Serve her some potatoes.

Sure.

I have never tasted such delicious sambar before. It's superb.

Mary!

He praised your cooking.

- Jesus! - Pass it.

Did you take the drumstick, Sam?

It's your favourite and I made it specially for you.

I took it. I've enough.

- Enough. - No, have more.

It's enough.

Mary...

It's indeed very special today.

Come on, ma'am.

- Shall I serve you some veggies? - I am fine.

Enough? Okay.

Mary...

She has not told me anything about you until now.

She didn't even tell me your name.

So, how did it happen?

Come on, tell me.

Who proposed first?

Sam, you tell me.

Ravindra, you tell me.

Why are you both quiet? Lovers fight?

I proposed her...

but Sam rejected it.

That's my girl.

You shouldn't accept it immediately.

Now that's girl's pride.

Anything that comes easy has no value.

Mary...

Turn off that mixer!

Just a minute. It's for for the evening vada. Almost done.

So...

how did you convince her?

I never accepted his proposal.

Are you two pulling a prank on me?

No, ma.

Here.

Nandini.

I...

love Nandini

Nandini...

- please leave at once. - Ma...

Nandini... sit.

Please sit.

Ma...

You said you will be okay with whomever I choose.

Please, ma.

- Get up. Get out. - Please ma.

My daughter...

is not like you.

She is a normal girl.

Please get out of here.

Leave her alone.

Please, ma.

She should not be here when I'm back.

Nandu...

Sorry.

Nandu, please.

- Ravindra. Nandu... Please wait. - Leave me, Sam.

Didn't I tell you that this wouldn't work?

Please be quiet!

What's wrong with what Ravindra said?

I know my mom very well, Nandu.

Did you forget what my mom did?

But my mom is not the same.

Your mom treated me so badly, and yet you are supporting her.

Sam, do you even love me?

- Yes, Nandu. - Then come with me.

Nandu, please.

If I wanted to come with you, I would have come long ago.

I want my mom's consent. That is why I waited for so long.

Please understand me.

If your mom is so important to you, you better stay back.

If you really love me...

Come with me now. Let's go, Ravindra.

- I cannot come just like that, Nandu. - You don't love me, Sam.

- Don't say that. - You don't love me.

- Please, Nandu. - You don't love me, Sam.

Everything is over between us.

It's over. We are done.

Thanks for the lunch. This is the best lunch ever.

- Don't go, Nandu. - Let me go, Sam.

Don't go, Nandu. Please.

Tell her, Ravindra.

Nandu...

Hello.

Can I talk to him?

Give me a moment, I will put him on line.

I just saw the photo you sent.

The boy looks handsome. He will be a perfect match for Sam.

I want to talk to him.

One moment.

He is in the bathroom.

Tell him that I want to talk right now.

- What is it? - Lakshmi on call.

She wants to speak with you right now.

But right now is not a good time.

He cannot talk right now. What is the matter?

Tell him that his daughter has gone insane.

What happened to Sam?

You will not understand it. Give the phone to him.

It's okay, you can talk to me.

Only a mother can understand it.

You should have given birth to understand it.

Sam!

Sam!

Why are you getting drenched in the rain?

Come, let's go in. Come on.

No, I won't! You first apologize!

For what?

For behaving so cheap!

You invited Ravindra and played it well!

I felt like a joker! You're the one who acted cheap!

I was more a friend to you than a mother.

Why couldn't you tell me directly?

In your YouTube speeches as well as when you have discussions with me,

we have never come across such topics, ma.

I tried many times to tell you...

but I couldn't.

I was scared, ma.

Fine. First, let's go inside.

- Please, come inside. - No, I won't. You leave!

Just come. We'll discuss this inside. Now, come.

Girls like Nandini...

are abnormal.

You won't understand it.

Leave this to me. I got you.

If she is abnormal...

then I am abnormal too.

Definitely not.

Dear...

Right from your childhood,

only I know all your likes and dislikes; from food to dresses to movies!

You are definitely not like her.

Nothing will happen to you.

I won't let anything happen to you.

I'm completely fine. Try to understand that, ma.

You know all my likes and dislikes,

yet you failed to understand my real feelings.

You didn't eat properly. Come, I'll serve you food.

Ma...

I am born like this.

Nandini and I have the same relationship as you and father had.

Our relationship is as right as yours.

It's not abnormal.

We are just like you people.

I'm not hungry.

Devaraj!

Come if you can or else hang up!

Dear... Sam...

Come in.

I shall leave now.

[Nuptial chants]

Shall I drop you at your hostel?

Or else come with me to my shop.

Where do you want to go?

It's okay.

You get out!

- Aunty... - Get out!

- I said, get out! - No, she won't!

This is my house and I make the decisions here!

- You get out! - To hell with you and your house!

I'm going with her.

Step out of the gate and I'll break your legs.

You don't want to see my real face!

I saw it already today!

Aunty, please listen to me. Leave her!

Aunty, people are watching. Please!

- First, come in. - You both go in first.

You heard me. Get inside. Sam, get inside.

- Akka please get some water. - Sure.

Aunty, please come in. Let me explain.

- Why did you bring her back? - Please calm down.

Please, come.

Aunty, if you ask Nandini to leave,

Sam will walk out with her.

Then that will be the last time you'll see Sam.

Will Sam walk out on me?

I'll lock her up inside the house.

Aunty, be practical.

Do you think she's a toddler, to ground her?

What else do you want me to do? Pamper her?

No, I'm not asking you to do that.

All I'm saying is have patience and hear them out.

Or at least pretend to hear them out.

I'm so confused right now.

Aunty...

if you show any kind of hatred towards Nandini...

then Sam will hate you even more.

You don't want that, right?

If my words made your uncomfortable, then I am sorry.

No.

Yeah.

I need some time.

- Okay, take your time. - You go and be with them.

I'll join you guys.

Fine. Okay.

Having fun during the storm?

Relishing some chocolate ice cream?

Fine, forget this.

What did aunty say?

She asked if the ice cream was any good. What do I tell her?

Do you want some?

Just eat!

[singing the Chennai Corporation song] "It's our beautiful Chennai"

"Look around, look at it's tidiness"

"It is our Chennai"

"Our city, our happiness"

"Look around, it is our Chennai"

Mary..

It was a shocking revelation to me and I got enraged.

I hope you understand.

It's okay, aunty.

I have been in far worse situations.

I never wanted to return here.

But I couldn't stop myself from coming.

Aunty, I love Sam.

God!

You both are in love?

Do you know something?

Sam had many boyfriends in college.

She will share everything with me.

There was this college senior guy. What was his name?

You're talking about Robert, right?

Yeah...

Robert.

Aunty, Sam lied to you.

Yes, ma.

I felt shy when I was around girls.

But I felt comfortable with the boys.

And you mistook them for my boyfriends.

But you said that Robert was your crush.

I lied.

I was scared that you would find out about me.

Sorry, ma.

Sorry.

Hello everyone.

Hi man.

Hi sir.

What happened here?

Sam, what happened?

Hey...

What is it? Why are you crying, Sam?

Go on, tell him.

Did you make my daughter cry?

What's happening, Lakshmi?

Sam, what the hell happened?

Don't shut the door!

- Mary. - Ma'am?

- Go and mop Sam's room. - Going now.

What's happening here, Lakshmi?

Sir, please come with me. I will explain.

Please come. Please, sir.

Everybody would have come across it at some point in time.

Unfortunately, Sam is caught in this situation.

It is our responsibility to bring her out of it.

Sorry sir, it is impossible.

Why?

Nothing is impossible in this world.

Believe in yourself, and everything will become possible.

Sir...

We are attracted to the opposite sex.

Similarly, they are attracted to the same sex.

But we fail to understand it.

We live in a different world and expect them to adapt to it. How is it possible?

Are you gay?

Eww! No. Why do you ask?

Then why are you showing so much support to them?

The truth is... I fell in love with Sam.

I learned about Sam and Nandini's relationship only after that.

Initially, I was also shocked. I reacted the same way as you did.

But gradually I understood its seriousness.

I started to feel the genuineness in their relationship.

That is why I am her best friend.

So you did a selfless act like the romantic heroes in Tamil movies.

How can you be just a friend with a girl you fell in love with?

You are pretending to be her best friend.

No, sir.

In a normal situation, your statement may be right.

But in Sam's case...

I can only be her best friend.

You know right?

Let's go buy some cigarettes.

So, what is your date of birth?

April 19, 1994.

- April 19 is Tamil month Chittirai 3rd. - Why do you ask?

You birth sign is Rishabam and Sam's is Mesham.

You both are a good match.

Sam is four years younger than you.

But that is okay.

They say that there should be at least a two years difference.

Are you making fun of us?

No, why would I make fun of you?

There are two women in my locality named Selvi and Saras.

They are together at all the time.

Both their husbands warned them and even beat them up.

But nothing worked.

The jobless men in my area gossip about them all day.

But those two were not bothered about anything.

In fact, why should they be bothered?

Men marry women, give a child...

and then they will thrash their woman.

Only a woman can understand another woman.

I am on your side.

To hell with men! Waste fellows.

They don't know crap.

Akka, bring us two coffees.

Sure. I will top it with extra sugar.

Shut the door and go.

Hi sir. It's been long since I saw you. Are you back home?

No, I am not back. Give me a pack of cigarette.

Lights, is it?

What is it?

Sam, stop it. Sam, no.

How long does it take to make coffee? Mary akka?

I'll go check.

Mary akka.

Mary akka.

How long does it take to make coffee?

It's getting ready. Just give me five minutes.

Alright, bring it to the terrace.

Let's say that Sam finds a dog...

and develops a romantic relationship with it. Should we accept it too?

You don't have an answer?

Because your question is wrong.

We are taking about people. It's about human feelings.

Okay, I will ask the right question.

When I asked you if you were gay...

you instantly said 'Eww! No'

Why did you say that?

I just... I want to...

That's what is in your subconscious.

Because you don't agree to them with all your heart.

You feel disgusted about it.

As a third person...

you can pretend to be a progressive and free minded person for friends.

But as a father...

I cannot be like that.

- I have something to ask you both. - Sure, ask.

- You must not get mad at me. - We won't.

In case if you get married.

Who will tie the nuptial thread to whom?

I just want to know...

Who will be the husband and who will be the wife?

She has a good doubt.

- I'll tell you. - Wait, I'll tell her.

The word 'husband' has no place here.

I am her wife and she is my wife.

Men have absolutely no place in our world.

But...

How would you two...

- Oh forget it. - Akka, hold on.

What is so funny?

I will not let you go until you answer me.

Tell me.

Speak up.

You shouldn't get mad at me.

- We will not. - It's okay, ask.

How would you two make love on the first night of your marriage?

Akka is on another level.

Do you wish to see it?

Oh stop it, you two! I have work to do.

Akka, hold on.

Take these cups.

Give that. Jesus Christ!

So cute.

Same sex love is mentioned in Kamasutra.

It has been here for a long time.

Is it?

You say that it has been here for a long time.

If it has been here for a long time,

where are those same sex couples now?

Till this day, I have not seen or heard about such couple in my surroundings.

Have you seen?

I have not seen too.

Maybe they are afraid of the society and live a private life.

If it was a genuine relationship,

why should they hide?

Why fear the society?

Because their relationship is fake.

Sir, hold on.

Transparency does not define truth.

The truth is not always transparent.

Sam is my daughter, that is the only truth.

Just get that into your head.

Ravindra, I will prove to you that I can change my daughter's mind.

It's not gonna happen, sir.

What if I make it happen?

It is impossible.

If I make it happen, will you do whatever I say?

Okay, I will do whatever you say.

You must marry Sam.

Cut this crap. She won't change, and I won't marry her. Just forget...

Hold on... hold on...

Don't give me these lame answers. Just say yes or no.

Come on, be a man.

You still love her. I can see it in your eyes.

I will get her married to you.

Sir, listen to me. Hear me out.

- Sir, sir, please hear me out. - Be seated.

- Sir, please. - Relax man, just sit down.

Mary...

- Where is your ma'am? - She is in her room.

Bring me a glass.

Sir, here you go.

Sir...

Don't be harsh on Sam.

She is a good girl. Praise the Lord!

Sir...

Lakshmi?

Come in

Where is the bottle?

On the below rack.

In the name of progressive thinking, feminism and stuff...

you raised her poorly and ruined her life.

You don't have any rights to blame me.

If you had not gone behind that teacher, none of this would have happened.

We can play this blame game all we want but there is no point.

You started it!

Why are you getting agitated now?

Don't get emotional. Just relax.

Lakshmi, this is a delicate situation and we must balance it very carefully.

Please try to understand that.

Lakshmi, look at me.

I have a plan.

Dad. Your dad is inside.

Here?

- He is talking to your mom. - About what?

Is everything fine?

I am not sure.

- I will wait upstairs. - Okay, go.

I feel really sorry for you.

Ravindra, come with me.

- No, sir.. I... - Just come with me.

Wait. Hold on.

May we come in?

Please come.

Sit.

Here.

Interesting!

Sam...

you have starting doing live shows?

Well, nobody informs me.

Anyway...

Hello, Nandini.

Hello, uncle.

What do your parents do?

They are back home in our native.

- So you live alone? - Yes, uncle.

Do they know about you?

Yes, they do.

Which is why I left home and came here.

But we can't give up Sam so easily.

Nandini...

can I ask you something?

How did you come to know that Sam is oriented like you?

Ma!

It was I, who found out that Nandini was like me.

But how?

My instincts told me so.

Instincts.

Feelings - that's something a guy has for a girl and vice versa.

That's natural.

But how can a girl have feelings for another girl?

It's absurd. It's unnatural.

Why do you think so, pa?

Why is it natural for you and unnatural for us?

Nature isn't all about black and white, pa.

There are many colours in between.

And those colours are what we are.

But you guys ignore and refuse to accept us.

There are many girls out there...

yet why did you have feelings only for Nandini?

You'd have come across many women in your life, but...

you only fell in love with mom and proposed her.

Same is the case with Nandini and I.

Look here, mine and your mom's case is different.

I just don't understand. I can't just digest this.

Love is something you feel and not understand, pa.

Uncle, can you hear me out for few minutes?

Few minutes?

You are meddling with my daughter's life.

Take all the time you want, dear.

Go ahead. Don't hold yourself back.

Uncle...

I was married.

When my marriage was fixed, I immediately opened up to my mom.

She scolded and hit me real bad.

Dad and my uncles started bad mouthing me.

They said marriage would change me and make things right.

They said I had some condition...

and I too believed them.

Then I got married.

On the night of the wedding...

- For the first time, a man touched me. - Just one time.

He kissed me.

Mom, help me!

Oh God!

I felt disgusted and nauseated.

I begged and screamed; to let go of me.

He wouldn't listen to me.

Mom! Mom! Please, somebody open the door!

Dad!

-Don't be stubborn. Just come to me. -Leave me! Let go of me!

- Please! Mom! - Easy. Nothing to worry.

Mom! Dad! Open the door!

Mom!

Let go of me! Please!

- Come on. - Please, let go of me!

Mom! No! Please, let go of me.

I lost the count of how many times he raped me that night.

Uncle, we'll cure her. Don't you worry.

Time will heal her.

That's when I understood...

that the door was locked from outside...

by my parents.

"The fragrant breeze called the Youth"

"It sang a melody"

Very good.

You gave him a punishment he deserved.

In fact, he must be behind the bars!

Not just him,

she shouldn't have spared her parents either.

Marriage was the right solution,

but whatever happened post that was wrong.

If that guy was a bit understanding...

Nandini would've lead a happy life.

- Sam, you'd also have been fine... - Pa, please stop!

If you were forced to marry a man and if that man was understanding,

can you lead a happy life with him?

No way!

Because that's against nature.

See, the whole purpose of life is creation.

If people start turning like you guys, then where are we headed to?

The whole evolution of life will get stuck and come to a stop!

Which is why I'm telling you that,

your relationship has no meaning at all.

In fact,

this is just pure perversion!

We are also born to a man and wife, isn't it?

Yet the nature has bestowed us with same feelings like everyone else.

We are not like this by choice.

If your relationship is not a perversion, then so isn't ours.

More than a man, a woman understands a woman better.

In which case, our relationship is even more meaningful,

than a relationship between man and woman.

Just a second. Excuse me.

Fine, I understand your feelings.

Can I ask you something?

Please don't take it personally.

Can you father a child?

Can you both bring a life in to this world on your own?

Impossible, right?

That's why I call your lives a meaningless one.

Sir...

Sorry for interrupting you.

Going by your statement, there are many leaders and saints here...

who achieved great things without fathering a child or without marriage.

So, do you think their lives are also meaningless?

Pa...

sorry to ask you but,

you and your wife don't have a child.

So, is that relationship meaningless?

If only giving birth to a child makes life meaningful,

then you must be leading a life with mom, right? Why did you leave her?

Stop it, Sam!

Is this how you talk to your dad?

You have raised her well, Lakshmi!

Look at her reasoning.

Go ahead, dear.

Reason as much as you want.

I've an answer to all your questions.

I'm done.

Wait... wait...

Me and my wife, who don't have children...

do exist and they have had a successful marriage.

But till date I haven't heard of same sex couples who have lived into their old age.

Have you ever heard of any such couple? Ravindra, what about you?

We shall prove it to you.

If having a kid in our relationship is your issue,

then we shall adopt.

So you guys will adopt a child?

Who's the father?

Whom among you both, will the kid address as the father?

So, you will raise a child without a father?

Didn't I grow up without a father?

But you goddamit have me; a father to point at!

Sam...

only those who cannot have a child will adopt.

But you're perfectly capable, Sam.

You are our only daughter. Try to understand that.

Ma, being your only daughter is not my fault. Is it?

It's neither your fault nor mine!

- Your mom... - Devaraj...

- Will you tell her or should I? - No Devaraj. Come with me.

- No, don't tell her. Come here. - I said, leave me!

Sam...

- when you were 11... - Devaraj, please.

she got pregnant.

- No, Devaraj! Don't tell her. - Just leave me!

Don't tell her, Devaraj!

Do you know, how happy I was when I knew it?

- I said, don't tell her! - But...

But without even telling me, you mother aborted it!

She murdered my child!

Ever since that, I tried my best...

but I couldn't love your mother anymore.

I couldn't forgive her for what she did.

You thought I just left your mother for your dance teacher?

But this is the reason why I left your mom.

Sam...

when I delivered you...

I couldn't take that pain.

I thought I would die.

That is why when I got pregnant,

I decided to abort it.

You men will never understand this pain!

But...

I shouldn't have aborted that child.

That is why now God is punishing me through Sam.

I shouldn't have aborted that child.

God is punishing me too.

This is not any kind of punishment, pa.

What is it?

I'm done with the chores. I'm leaving, madam.

The vada batter...

Fine, I'll keep it in the refrigerator.

Madam...

can I get an advance of 500 rupees from salary?

I have to take Rosie to the hospital.

Okay, go. I'll come.

I'll see off Mary and be back.

Here, Mary. There is 1000 rupees in here.

Not cutting this from your salary. You may have it.

Thanks a lot, madam. See you.

Mary...

please don't tell anybody about what happened here.

Madam, Sam is like a daughter to me.

When I went upstairs to serve coffee,

they were so happy together.

Please let them be.

Don't mistake me.

- It's okay, keep it Mary. - No thanks, madam.

I just need 500 rupees.

Cut it while paying me the salary.

See you.

We shall agree to your relationship...

but on one condition.

For one year,

you both shouldn't meet or talk to each other.

No calls, no messages...

no contact.. nothing at all.

I will never agree to this, pa.

Sam, let him complete. Hear him out.

If you both still have feelings for each other even after a year...

then we shall agree to it.

This is foolishness, pa.

Why so? Are you afraid that you'll change?

Listen to me. Sam...

don't you trust our love?

Then what's the problem?

Not just a year, Sam. We can wait for years!

We shall prove it to them. Be strong and agree to it!

Come on, Nandini. This is so cinematic!

- You want to agree to this? - Sam...

I cannot be apart from you even for a minute.

I'm not done yet.

In this one year,

you, Lakshmi and I...

we three will attend counselling.

During that counselling,

either we might change...

or you might change.

Come on.

Let's give it a chance.

If you don't change even after counselling...

then we shall agree to your relationship.

But if otherwise,

you must marry Ravindra.

- Sir! - Ravindra?

- What's all this? - No, Sam.

Sir, stop blabbing.

Didn't you agree a while ago?

Sam, I didn't. Sir, I did not! You are lying.

It's true that I fell in love with Sam.

Sam, I never agreed to that. He's lying.

Sam! I am ready to do this.

It's just a year. Don't you believe in our love?

Look, she's ready. Now agree to this.

Sam...

- please... please... - Come on.

Pa...

It's a matter of just one year, Sam.

Remember the Barbie doll you gifted me?

I had it with me until my 10th grade exams.

I shared all my feelings with it.

Because I couldn't share it with anyone else, pa.

That Barbie doll is my first love.

Out of the blue, one day that doll went missing.

Since then, I felt like a crab choking up my throat.

It was only after I met Nandini I got relieved from it's claws.

Nandini...

Pa...

Ma...

I'm sorry but I am left with no other choice to make you understand us.

Sam! Sam!

Aunty, no! Don't beat her.

- Come this side. Stop beating her. - Look what she did!

- Let go of me. I'll kill her. - Lakshmi, control yourself.

- Let go! You're ruined my daughter! - Ravindra, take them away.

Aunty, no. Please.

Sir, please take her away.

- Lakshmi, stop it! - Aunty, please.

I will kill you!

- Lakshmi, come here. - I'll kill you!

- What are you saying? - Leave me! I'll kill them both!

Let go of me. You better go and die, Sam!

- Go and die! - Ravindra, let go of me.

Nandini, let go of me.

This society thinks we are disgusting...

but I didn't realized that deep inside you too think the same.

I cannot live with anybody who thinks we are disgusting!

- I'm leaving. - You think you can leave?

- I'll kill you! - Aunty. Please, sir...

Please take her away, sir. Please aunty.

Ravindra, let's go.

Sam...

Well actually,

I must be blessing you...

but I'm unable to.

Because...

I just cannot accept this.

Forgive me. I'm leaving.

Lakshmi...

Sam...

no matter what it is...

daddy will always love you.

No, pa.

You don't understand me...

and you don't love me.

One can only feel a dad's love...

but never understand it.

Take care.

Ravindra, shall we leave?

Sam...

just stay with me for today.

Sam, just a minute.

Aunty...

not just today,

let Sam stay with you however long you want.

Send her only when you're convinced.

See you.

Wait.

Are you staying back? Come on Nandini, let's leave.

Come, let's go.

Thanks, Ravindra.

See you.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Ma...

Ma?

Ma...

Ma!

Ma!

What happened, ma?

Sam...

Your barbie doll.
