Living together is bliss...

It's a God given boon to us...

Living together is bliss...

It's a God given boon to us...

It's a forest developed by crows, parrots and birds...

Forest was our home in earlier times...

Fertility of soil will increase with earthworms...

As fertility increases, crops will grow well...

If harvest is good, humans will prosper...

If we forget soil, humanity will die...

Living together is bliss...

It's a God given boon to us...

Weed out well.

Hey!

What are you doing here, boy?

Without attending school.

I'll hit you.

Why are you threatening son to study unnecessarily?

You too are spoiling him, by pampering him, right?

He's herding cows without attending school.

Hey, what great is school study!

Did your grandfather went to school? Did you father go to school?

Say, did you go to school?

Why are you after the boy's life in the name of school?

You carry on son, grandson, you herd cows.

Are you herding cows on his orders?

I'll sell off those cows to butcher, everything will be fine then.

If you sell off cows, what will I use to till land? You?

You want me to stamp you in the land for fertilizer.

Trying to argue with me, go away, son.

Tractors are here to till, fertilizers instead of cow dung.

You're foolish without knowing that, right?

That's why, I want my son to study.

Come, son.

Grandpa...

Come I say, son.

Don't worry, grandson. Come here after he goes out.

Go carefully, son.

You must play the game like this.

Isn't pongal tasty when prepared in temple, sister?

Yes, eat.

One, two, three....

Hubby! - What?

Look there!

Seven, eight, nine...

If my elder brother's son and our daughter marry,

won't they make a perfect couple, hubby?

Yes, perfect couple.

Why? Is she perfect for your son only?

She's perfect for my son too.

They are making up stories as if their son is one of a kind.

You're talking too much.

Just you've a daughter? Don't we've a daughter?

Won't my daughter match him?

Here she comes swaging.

Why are you fighting unnecessarily among yourselves?

Father, we want to know clearly right now.

Come quickly.

We, three daughters have daughter,

tell me, father, whose daughter, will you choose as wife of your grandson?

Look daughter, anyone of your daughters' is okay for my grandson,

but, you three of them decide, who that lucky girl is?

Okay?

Father, I'm your eldest daughter.

I've the first right.

If I say no, second preference will be to middle daughter's daughter.

if she too refuses, then third daughter’s daughter will get the chance.

Yes, father. What sister says is right!

Hey, what's this? They're just kids, why talk about their marriage now?

Are you here to offer prayers or fight? Mind your work, please.

Father, it may create problems in future, so, better to fix the it now.

This is right, if you three quarrel among yourselves like this,

he'll find a bride elsewhere for his son.

Then, you three would be left stranded.

You three decide, whose daughter would be his future wife?

What? What I said is right, okay?

Father, who ever brother decides, we'll honor his decision.

This is right decision. - Hubby, don't...

Wait...

If it is okay to you both, it is okay to me also, father.

For me too, father.

For you? - For us too, father.

Okay for us. - Then, eat without quarreling.

Not acceptable to me.

Oh my God!

What's this new twist?

What's this, brother? You're talking to us like this in temple.

I'm refusing to accept bride from within relations.

Hmmm...

Since my ancestors, everyone has been into farming here only.

Do you want my son also to become a farmer?

I'm going send him to city for education.

I'll spend any amount to get him a government job there,

and find a good city bride for him.

My son's life is important to me.

Moreover, if married within cousins, it seems progeny would be deformed.

I don't want physically challenged grandchildren.

No fault in physically challenged, father.

What to do if we're born with heartless siblings father?

Look, don't talk too much.

You were all married within relations.

All are like frogs in the same well, right?

Your husband is selling goats in the market.

Her husband sells greens.

Look, he husband is jobless and useless.

Are you asking to select a girl from such useless families for my son

Hey, how dare you call us useless families!

How dare you call us like that! You're talking too much.

How dare you raise hand on me!

Are you Keep quiet in some more times

Stop it...stop it I say!

We thought you were our brother and asked,

you insulted us in public.

I'm telling from the bottom of my heart.

Even if we three, don't come for funeral also.

Don't come at all!

Who are you to say that?

Even if I die, none of you three must come to my funeral.

Get lost!

Who are you to say so? We'll never ever come.

Get lost.

We'll consider, we never had a brother.

Father, Soolandi!

My happy days were with you only.

I was really fortunate to be born as your son, father.

A day in 1950 - We, using the name of family deity,

saved our tradition and agriculture.

How we managed to save it!

What are you doing here?

Hey, I'll do anything in my farm.

Why are you creating trouble here?

Farm may be yours but your farm is in our village, brother.

The profession you do and the way of life you live,

if it is against our land and people,

we'll not allow it at any cost.

I own this property.

I've every right to do anything here.

My will and wish, no one has any right to interfere.

Okay?

We're going to build a dye factory here.

What bothers you?

If you build a dye factory here in between farms,

where will you let the effluents flow?

Into the sewage canal.

Hey, he says sewage canal, right What's your objection now?

Where would sewage canal flow? Into the river, right?

Sewage with effluents will poison the river.

Sheep, goats, cattle, plants, farming and people are dependent on it, right?

Just because you want to prosper in life, should everyone else die from pollution?

He makes money building arrack factories,

how would he know the value of land and people?

What you say is right!

But, if I build a factory here,

everyone in this village would get employment.

Look, on day of the month, you'll get good salary on time.

You can use to educate your children.

You needn't have to toil anymore.

You can live happily like me wearing suit and shoes.

Hmm..?

Sir, we consider Mother Earth as Goddess Mother,

these hands which hold tiller to grow food for everyone,

these hands will never beg anything from anyone.

Once you sold off your lands, you're now a stranger to this village.

In our neighboring village Nathapatti,

Subban, an arrack seller,

without consulting anyone in the village,

he sold off his lands to an outsider to build a dye factory there.

So, village council decided to exile him and his family.

Good decision.

So, we must decide in our council not to allow Subban in our village too.

So that, the mistake Subban committed, no one else must commit here.

That's why!

Right decision!

Hey! - What's it, brother?

Add copious quantity of Ammonium Nitrate.

Only then, they'll get intoxicated.

If we add too much of Ammonium Nitrate, people may die, brother.

Don't argue with me, do it.

Do you know elephants attacked us in forest, brother?

Why he went to elephants living place?

Would we keep quiet if elephants enter our village?

Trees are safe because of wild animals like elephants.

Trees are safe, so it's raining and we're prospering.

He entered forest to cut down trees, elephants attacked him.

Look brother! The man, who got you exiled is walking tall in the village.

Though I made money selling forest,

I wanted to live with honor buying arrack shop in auction,

but, Sivanandi forced to go back to brewing spurious liquor.

Would I spare him easily?

I'll make sure Sivanandi and this village to fall at my feet in near future.

As you prayed, Lord Karuppu has answered with a red flower.

Hello brother! How come you're taking a lucky dip of flowers?

Anything special?

Yes, for the sake of my son's marriage.

Is the bride relative or outside?

No brides in my relations,

he's of marriageable age,

just came to check if he would get married at least this year.

Tell me, if there's any proposal on your side.

Okay brother, I'll check.

Brother! - Greetings, brother-in-law.

Greetings.

You come to temple only during festivals and when a goat is sacrificed, right?

How come you're here without any of it?

For a good reason only.

Came to check if I can start looking for groom to my daughter.

He's Mokkasamy of Koyilagulam. - Is it?

He's like brother-in-law to me.

Distant relative.

He's my brother Sivanandi.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Greetings.

He too came for his son's marriage.

No brides in his relations, so trying to find outside.

Oh, happy to hear it.

Dear!

Is your father in home?

Please come in, father has gone to the farm.

I want to meet your father.

You come in and wait here, I'll go and fetch my father.

Okay.

Please come in, sit down. - No problem.

Take this.

I'll help myself, you keep it there.

You eat, I'll come back in a minute.

Okay, dear.

Hey oldie! - Pechi!

I'm here. - Are you here?

Okay, give me betel leaves.

Betel leaves?

Any relative on guest visit?

I'll tell you about that later, give me betel leaves first.

You chew betel leaves and nuts, I'll bring my father.

Father!

What's it, Pechi?

There's someone to meet you.

Who is it, dear?

I don't know, father.

He's wearing a long shirt and has a big mustache.

It's him!

Hey, you too come with me.

Okay, hubby.

My father is here. - Let him come.

Please sit down...sit down.

Had you informed us about arrival, we would've stayed in home.

No...no...I was here on some work.

So, I dropped in to meet you also.

Very pleased.

That's my daughter Pechiyamma.

I had eaten what she served me!

That's my wife. - Greetings, madam.

Greetings.

You're raised your daughter with our culture and traditions.

When are you coming to my home?

Happy to hear it.

We'll visit you soon.

Dig it properly, neither earth nor shovel would get hurt!

I'm here to meet sir.

Please come, sir.

Hubby! - Yes?

He's here to meet you.

Meet me? - Yes.

Come...come...please come.

Please sit down.

Are you fine? - I'm fine, are you fine?

Greetings, please sit down.

Mayandi! - What's it, father?

Come here, son.

She's my wife, her name is Mallika.

Greetings. - Greetings.

I'm thinking about planting sugarcane there by January.

I'm not getting workers to do it.

Good.

Bye.

For you?

You drink...come on, drink.

Hey, change it to that side.

What's it? Come out.

No...when shall we fix the marriage?

Shall we fix it right now?

Dear...Pechi!

You don't worry, dear.

We'll visit you often.

Look, if you feel like meeting us,

you'll come with your husband to meet us any time.

That's why, we fixed a groom from next village, right?

Okay, getting late.

Get up, change bridal sari, wear this sari.

Get up, my dear. - Get up.

Take it.

Umm...

Go, dear.

You...

Anything...

Wait, I'm coming.

Run!

Gone!

Let me see, who would see me!

Grandma! - What's it, dear?

Where are my parents?

Goats and cattle are starving there.

They'll feed them and come back by morning.

You go and sleep, dear.

Am I not here with you?

Dear...Pechiyamma!

Come here, dear.

Take this milk and give him.

Go...what? Careful, dear.

Why are you crying, my dear?

My heart is throbbing rapidly, grandma.

Hey, silly girl! When I was young like you now,

fear and throbbing heart troubled me too,

my grandma then narrated a story to me,

before I could understand the essence of it,

I had five children with your grandpa.

May I tell you the essence of that story?

What is this?

Mortar!

It's not a mortar, but you!

Me? - Yes.

What is this? Who is it? - It's me.

You!

What's this? - Pounder.

You silly girl!

This is not pounder but the man, who married you.

Who is it?

The man, who married me.

Now, into this mortar, applying lime on the betel leaf,

adding betel nut too,

putting everything into it, and by using a pounder,

smashing it with pounder,

picking it and putting into your mouth,

you must chew it very well.

Chew it!

It must turn red, right?

Chew it into a smooth paste.

Don't cry, my dear.

Show me your tongue.

Look, how red it has turned!

You'd have understood the meaning of the story, right?

He went out, you go and sleep in the room.

Go.

Hey...Pechi!

Hey!

Eh?

Aaah!

Oh my God!

Take it.

Take it..

Buddy! Why are you so tired?

Sleepless all night.

Eh? - First night, right?

So, for first night, should one stay awake all night?

Yes.

Buddy...buddy...tell me in detail about first night, buddy.

Because, I'm getting married in 6 months, buddy.

I'll tell you...tell you.

Married men rush to home, right?

I too went.

I opened the door.

Eh?

Incense stick fragrance was enchanting.

Fragrance just hit me.

A lamp that side.

This side, a vessel full of milk, fruits, and sweets.

A big mat in the middle.

Newly pillow.

She was sleeping like a golden statue on it.

Eh?

In the light of the lamp.

When I saw her in full,

she was glittering like a golden statue.

Carry on, buddy.

I went near her and patted to wake her.

She sprung up suddenly and sat.

On your lap?

No, in a corner.

Corner?!

Would I keep quiet?

You're very sensitive man, right?

I sat in another corner.

Then?

She looked at me angrily.

Umm...

I too looked at her angrily.

She looked at me, I looked at her.

How pleasant it was!

Wow!

Then, it means you didn't put off the lamp.

No.

Why?

It dawned by then.

Your first night didn't happen!

The only person, who knows everything about this is, old shepherd.

Come, let's go to meet him.

Come, let's go. - Don't know where he is?

Chiyyan...Chiyyan...

Come, new groom!

How come you've come as a gang?

Chiyyan! Should one put off lamp on first night or not?

Did you put off the lamp or not?

No, grandpa.

Okay...okay...don't worry about it.

Come, let's go.

Chiyyan, you took us all around and brought us to a well.

Do you want to know the meaning or not?

Hey, keep quiet.

You carry on, grandpa.

Okay, what is this?

Well.

Well, right?

What is this? - Stone.

Pick up the stone.

Okay.

Should one carry stones for first night?

ChiyaaI picked it.

Picked it?

Throw stone into the well.

Throw it.

What happened to the stone? - It sank.

What happened to the water? - It came up.

That's the meaning!

Hey, Chiyyan!

I didn't get you, Chiyyan.

Madam! - What Perumayi?

Your daughter-in-law is here.

Pechi, stay there, dear. I'll come up.

Did you have lunch, dear?

Finished all household work.

Tell me, if there any other work, mother-in-law.

I'll finish all there work by 6 Pm,

I'll go to my mother's place and come back by morning,

and do all the work, mother-in-law.

Can I go to my mother's place now, mother-in-law?

Why did you say like that, dear?

Every girl would feel difficult to leave their mother's place.

Farm would be done in 2 or 3 days,

I'll send you both then.

Why discuss about it now? Come.

Come, serve me lunch with your hands.

Enough...enough...enough.

Serve me plenty of mutton!

Tonight, I'll show you my real power.

Serve...serve me copiously.

What?

Hey, already you're very fat!

If I serve you mutton too, you'll become more fat.

That's why, I served you just gravy.

Hereafter you touch me?

Karuppa!

My parents left me here alone.

You too don't leave me.

You won't, will you?

Pechi, whether I think or you, I can't leave you alone.

Because I was given to you as part of your dowry.

Hey, naughty girl

You're taking me instead of your husband.

Your father is going to kill me.

Hey, Mokkasamy!

Eh?

Your daughter, who got married yesterday, she's in your home now.

Hubby! Let's go home.

Hello, lady with a daughter!

She went to In-laws' place but returned in a day.

Don't know what did she do there! - Pechi!

What happened, dear?

Dear...hey...

What happened, Pechi?

Why are you crying?

Got into any fight there?

Tell me, dear.

Mother...

Always I remember both of you

Oh God! I can't live away from you, father.

I'll after spending few days with you, okay?

For this?

Don't cry.

Looks like the way she's rushing, she'll give an earful to to all of them.

Hey Karuppa!

It's all because of you.

Why did she turn heat on me?

Would people think my daughter returned unable to live with her in-laws,

or else would they think, she was thrown out from their home?

Hey, silly woman!

In the name of taking me to task, you may fall into the pit you dug.

You escaped and came here, that's why my daughter followed you, right?

Did I escape? Your daughter tied and dragged me here!

Can these women here know about that?

Oh God! Don't know what strange stories women in this village are narrating!

Women are standing here only, right? Why are you just creating a scene?

I can shut your mouth, can I shut the mouth of this village?

Hey, shut your mouth first! Women will disperse on their own.

Wait...wait...I'll starve you without food for a week!

I'm already starving, right?

Okay, eat whatever you get!

Looking him sit here angrily, I think he'll shout at me.

You're responsible for everything.

I had an earful from your wife, compared to her, you're nothing.

You'll calm down only if I thrash you like hell.

You're talking here instead of talking elsewhere.

You're nasty man, who sacrificed my mother.

Welcome, son-in-law...welcome.

Hey, Vasavi! Son-in-law is here.

Look, how cool he's acting! Indeed you're a great actor.

Come...come in.

How is your parents? - Welcome, son-in-law.

She followed the goat kid to my place.

Please sit down, son-in-law.

You! - Eh?

I'll cut the chicken, prepare to cook food.

They both will leave after having lunch.

Okay.

I've to starve till they off the light

Get lost!

Enough, dear.

Good tender chicken, eat without any hesitation.

Why are you serving so much chicken to me?

Serve it to son-in-law.

He's tired, right?

Serve him copiously.

Let him well.

He must think about our home on thinking about chicken curry.

Eat!

Look, your in-laws' place is your home.

Whatever it is, you must adjust and live with them.

Did you get my point?

Go on...come.

Bye, father-in-law. - Bye, son-in-law.

Bye, mother-in-law.

Visit our family deity’s temple, offer this,

and together offer prayers.

Okay, mother-in-law.

Dear!

Without fail, offer prayers to the third pillar after seeing it fully.

As you say, mother-in-law.

Lord Ganesha!

He mustn't touch me, you must help in protecting me.

Lord Ganesha!

At any cost, I must have her today.

The way I'll hug her, she must give birth to 10 babies.

Make sure the lamp is put off in our bedroom.

Mother-in-law... - Eh?

Asked me to offer prayers at third pillar.

Come, let's go and offer prayers.

Why did mother ask her to offer prayers here?

Third pillar is here.

Okay.

Hey! Seeing her faint in temple!

Looks like Sivanandi's daughter-in-law is possessed by ghost. - What happened?

There's no ghost in this area, I have failed to control.

Are you local ghost or outside ghost?

Tell me.

Sengodan who hang on tamarind tree.

Are you that man?

That man?

Tell me.

No.

It's not a ghost.

I'll make you come out with truth. - Look, she's refusing to tell.

Are you Sarasu, who died?

Are you that woman?

Tell me.

Get lost, man. No.

Are you Muniyandi, who died in the well recently?

I'm sure, that's him. - Not him, someone else.

The way she's staring, it looks like Muniyandi's ghost.

I'll make you tell the truth.

Tell me. - Yes.

I'm Muniyandi!

What? Real ghost?

What do you want, man?

Hey, Soothsayer!

Eh?

She said Muniyandi's name, right?

Enough of thrashing her, come out.

Come, let's hit a nail.

He's thrashing a poor girl.

Hey, when I said Muniyandi, you didn't believe me, right?

Come out!

Muniyan's command...Muniyan's command!

Muniyan's command!

Are you Muniyandi, who died in the well recently?

Dear! Did the ghost leave you not? Tell me.

I'll give the ghost another good thrashing.

SONG

Worship under the bed sheet...

Do we need lights here?

May I lean on you? May I pluck your moustache?

Worship under the bed sheet...?

You're looking at me with piercing eyes...

You're asking cock...

In my forest...you're plowing

You're watering it. .in my root

Heart are leaping to merge..

Worship under the bed sheet...

Love is spreading the charm to unite our bodies...

River is running fast

Your asked on the bed... You enchanted me with your sight...

Is this night enough for our love?

Worship under the bed sheet...

Do we need lights here?

May I lean on you? May I pluck your moustache?

Worship under the bed sheet...

Do we need lights here?

Mother-in-law!

Mother-in-law, give it to me.

Dear, please look at your father-in-law.

Take it, drink at least water.

If Karuppan comes to our home along with our Pechi.

Hey, you crook, who sacrificed my mother.

To unite your daughter with your son-in-law, why are you taking around the streets?

Go inside.

What has happened to her?

Let's go back, come.

How can we go without meeting our daughter?

We've tied the goat here, right?

Job is done, right? Let's go away, come.

How can we go after coming this far...

Try to understand if I say, hubby.

Hey, you silly fellows! What's going on here?

Fruits! Leaving without giving it.

I forgot, let's leave it here.

Watching the door closed, I think they wouldn't have a drop of water too.

Hubby! Goat is here, I think kinsman was here.

Dear Pechi...Pechi!

Dear!

Open the door, dear.

Coming, mother-in-law.

I didn't hear it.

Were you parents here? Goat is tied here.

How would she know? Only if she had opened the door, right?

Why are you confused, dear?

Father and mother...

I'll go out.

Okay...okay....feed and water the goat.

Pechi, you're standing blushing! It means you put off the lamp.

Dear, Pechi!

What happened?

Hmmm!

Hubby! - Yes?

Cow looks new, whose cow it is?

Ours!

We've so many already, why another one?

When my grandson is born, this cow will give birth to calf.

My grandson must grow drinking this cow's milk.

Like our daughter-in-law, look after this cow also very well.

Make cow dung cakes of this cow's dung separately.

Daughter-in-law and grandchild may need them in future.

Pechi! - Mother-in-law!

I've kept ash here, you're pregnant, right? That's why.

Hey Mallika! - Hubby! What's it?

Take it.

Fruits in it, serve it to daughter-in-law now and then.

Only then, mother and child will be strong.

Bye, mother-in-law.

Don't cry, dear.

You must cry at these times.

After child birth, you'll come back here, right?

Don't cry, dear.

My daughter was with me for 20 years.

When I sent her to your home after marriage,

she didn't cry,

just after staying a year with you,

she's crying so much,

it shows how well you looked after her here,

thank you very much, kinsman.

Mallika, you take her, I'll come back in a minute.

Come...

Come here.

I brought this cow exclusively for my grandson, kinsman.

This cow will give birth to calf when my grandson is born.

My daughter-in-law and grandson must drink this cow's milk only.

Hold it.

Sister-in-law., there's ash in it, take it with you.

After grandson is born, spill it around the house for a month.

It'll protect the child from diseases.

Hey, look at your grandpa! Look at grandpa!

Look at grandpa!

Look at grandpa! My dear!

My family's honor,

my family's self-respect,

and agriculture, which is our lifeline,

wishing you would protect all this,

I'm naming my grandson as Karuppan.

Since my ancestors, everyone has been into farming here only.

Do you want my son also to become a farmer?

Even if I die, none of you three must come to my funeral.

Go away!

Karuppa!

Father! Your word was like Veda to me, I followed it in letter and spirit.

But, situation isn't like that any more, father.

Uneducated in those times protected earth...

With little knowledge, man destroyed world and relationships...

Tomorrow's man with knowledge will ruin everything...

Will ruin everything...

If every home raises a cow,

it'll add honor to the place,

and we can save the species too, right?

I'll sell off those cows to butcher, everything will be fine then.

Cow dung, cow's urine, curd, jaggery, neem oil cake,

if we mix all these and grind it,

what we get it is 'Panchakamiyam'.

If we spray it, it'll kill bad insects and keep good insects alive,

and protect our crops.

Home-made herbal fertilizer is enough, we don't want your chemical insecticides.

Please, for God's sake, don't ruin agriculture in the name of business.

Tractors are here to till, fertilizers instead of cow dung.

You're foolish without knowing that, right?

God...

I'm not asking you much!

Protect this earth from devastation.

Rasathi! - Eh?

Did father come?

He did come.

Had lunch and went out for stroll, didn't return yet.

Before going away from here, looking at your grandpa's photo,

the burden I carried till now,

I'm unable to carry it any more, father,

with tears in his eyes, he went out.

Mani Bro! - What's it, brother?

Did you see my father?

No, I didn't see him.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father! Father!

Father! Father!

Father! Father!

Father! Father!

Father!

Father!

Greetings. - Greetings.

Sir, to put an end to spurious liquor business,

Govt. has decided to run this arrack business.

We expected Govt., to waive agricultural loans and help farmers,

you're asking us to drink arrack and die.

Good idea!

3 months ago, 65 people died in this area drinking spurious arrack.

To avoid such incidents in future,

Govt. has come out with this plan.

Hmmm...okay...

Leave it, brother.

Sir is explaining us so much.

What he said may be right!

We've decided not to drink liquor in our village, right?

Let them open the shop here.

Are we going to buy from it?

They'll run the shop if there's sales, right?

We're not going to buy there, right?

They'll shut down the shop after few days.

You can open the shop.

His name is Nagaraju.

He has applied to run a shop in your village.

We can't give place to outsiders.

If so, Subban, son of Ranganathan is there, right?

Let's give the shop to him.

You agree to it, right?

Okay.

Sir, we've local man to run it.

We'll take care of it. - Sir, what you say is right,

You've exiled Ranganathan's son, right?

So, he can't run a shop here.

He applied a shop in the next village and opened it there.

I'm planning to open shop here.

Wait sir, it is not possible, sir.

Sir, can we change the petition? -It's possible

Then, what? Change the petition.

Only then, we can avoid strangers.

Right? - Right decision.

Let's do as you said.

Brother!

The village that exiled you for brewing spurious arrack,

I made the same village to give permission for you to run a liquor shop, right?

You cheated an entire village for a pot of local brew. Drink it.

If there are people like you, I can wipe out my father's bad name.

Go and watch some Malayalam film.

This much money? With this I'll go to Mallika's house.

Keep this, son.

I don't want it. - Hey...

He says he doesn't want to go, right?

Are we dependent on his study and future earnings?

Let him look after farm, cattle and stay with us.

Don't cry, my dear son.

I knew you'd confuse him with sentiments.

That's why, I sending him to hostel.

Come, son. - Mother...mother...

No, I don't want to go, mother. - No, please...- Come, son.

Hubby!

Karuppan without giving respect to his village or relatives,

to fulfill his own ambition,

he sent his son Kannan for higher studies,

and got him a govt. job too in Madras.

Last night, you said you've taken leave today.

Then, how come you suddenly went to office?

New Manager called on phone to tell about important meeting today.

That's why!

I've joined duty today only. - Yes, sir.

When did I tell her about important meeting?

I know, you don't like my sisters visiting me,

cancelled leave and lying about meeting, you went to office.

Yes, I lied.

I took a day to sleep and take rest.

Not to cook for your sisters visiting you.

What's this, Murthy? - This is just trailer.

Come, I'll show you the main picture.

Let officer handle Amala, I'll stay away.

Sir...

Sit down...please sit down.

You don't have a heart to serve relatives.

You cancelled leave.

Moreover lying about a meeting too.

I got bored listening to such advises.

Moreover telling that I had called you for a meeting,

and cutting the call right before me.

When you get married and your wife's relatives will come to your home,

you'll understand my difficulties then.

Let me see. - Is it him?

Murthy... - Sir...sir...

Who is he?

Inquire and send him out. - Our office accountant, sir.

Greetings, sir. - Accountant?

Why are you coming so late?

Sir, thank heavens for coming at least now.

Sir, I mean... - Wait...

Are you drunk?

No, he has taken a bath in spurious arrack.

Get out.

You're new to the office.

You're not yet married too.

I said get out.

I'll go now, marry and see, you'll understand then.

Why do we drink so much?

What is he saying, man?

He's telling truth, sir.

How can he understand, he's still a bachelor, right?

In the happiness of getting a job, 4 years passed for Kannan!

Yes, they're here, one minute, please.

Sir, your son.

Go.

I'll talk to him. - Carry on.

Kanna, I'm your mother speaking.

Mother! How are you?

I'm fine, son. Are you taking good care of your health?

I'm taking care, mother.

Eat well on time, okay?

Don't worry about me.

Okay, good news for you.

Your father will tell you.

I'll give the phone to him, talk to him.

Give phone to him, mother.

Take it.

Son! - Father!

How are you doing, father?

I'm fine, son.

A proposal has come from Namakkal.

Well settled family.

Cars, big bungalow, they've everything.

I told them, we're not that rich.

They said, good job for groom is okay, no need of other things.

So, I wanted to ask your opinion.

What's this, father? Why are you asking me?

Whichever girl you and mother select for me, I'll marry her, father.

When did I say no to you, father?

Okay, may I hang up the phone?

Take care, son.

Okay, father.

Did he say yes? - He said your decision.

No problem, father. - Drink. - Drink, son.

Give me, son.

Son! How is daughter-in-law?

Fine, mother.

Why are you indifferent, son?

What's up?

She's 3 month pregnant now.

What are you saying, son?

Son, this is happy news! Why are you telling it so dull?

Look at him! - Come on, son.

Why are you dull, son?

Any problem? - Tell us, son.

It seems she doesn't like the house we're living now.

It seems she wants to live in own house after child birth.

She said she doesn't like the house we're living now.

That's why, I left her in her mother's place, father.

Hey, my daughter-in-law is right in saying that!

What are you looking at?

Would my grandson take birth in a rented home?

He must take birth in his own home.

daughter-in-law is right, why are you so worried about that?

Want money, right?

Look there, there's land, if we sell 2 acres, we'll get money.

Father, don't sell land.

Look, you'll get money in a week. - Listen to me, father.

Listen to your father.

Buy a new home, my grandson must take birth in own house.

Why do I need property that isn't useful for my grandson?

Your father is right.

Look, I'll make arrangement to sell tomorrow.

I'll sell it and arrange money in a week.

Buy a new home as daughter-in-law wishes.

That will not work out, father.

You keep quiet, you and get ready lunch.

Yes, it's been many days since I cooked my son.

He has come this far for that.

Come.

Selling a part of fertile land,

as his daughter-in-law wished,

Not just one, they can book 10 taxis too.

They'll ask me nasty questions for not receiving them in airport, right?

Isn't it an insult to me?

Do we need to bear that insult?

Hey! what daughter-in-law says is right.

SONG

Educating and finding a job for him...

Selling off 10 acres land to build a bungalow for him...

All left with is miserable life...

Did you see mother and father?

They asked way to bus stand and walking down to there.

Time gave the fruit

Hey Kannukutti! - Brother!

Still tying? -Done

Tie it quickly.

Rope is loose, if you tie like this, cattle will doze off.

There's a man, let's ask him.

Put that smaller one in the back side. okay brother

Come.

Brother, we both have to go to Madurai.

Bus stand is nearby.

No money to travel in bus.

There are 3 or 4 people in the cabin, some are drunk.

There are cattle in the back side.

It'll dirty the place with dung and urine.

How can you travel in that stink, sir.

Cattle, right?

We grew up with cattle.

We'll travel, no problem for us.

Okay, come. - Thank you very much.

SONG

When they were 10 siblings, they were united as one...

When it reduced to 2, cracks appeared in relationships...

When it reduced to one, relationships went down the drain...

When it reduced to one, relationships went down the drain...

Relationships went down the drain...

What's this life? Why this horrible life?

Who is there to see when broken hearts are fixed?

Everything reduced to ashes in a moment...

Everything reduced to ashes in a moment...

Reduced to ashes...

SONG END

Come.

Take a break for coffee or tea. And also take a break to use toilet.

Shall I get you tea?

Father!

Father!

What happened? - Our son is here.

Oh my God! In this condition!

Father!

Mother!

Hey... - Kanna!

Why son?

Father!

Father, forgive me, father.

Mother, come, let's go to home.

Oh no!

Mother, come to home.

Look son!

Hey...hey...hey...aren't you my darling?

Don't cry, son.

You're our family deity.

We saw you educated and getting degree.

We saw you taking up govt., job also.

We saw you living in a big bungalow with car and luxuries.

Father!

Son, don't cry.

Mother! - My son.

We didn't even imagine, our grandson...

...amidst such great people...

...celebrated his birthday...

...we saw it with our eyes.

What else do we need more than this, son?

Mother, I'll drop you home in car.

No...no need.

Come, mother.

I've told everyone in village very great about grandson,

I've boasted about very big celebration of the event.

If we go like this now, people would laugh at us, son.

Father!

Our village is just 15 kilometers from here.

We'll travel in lorry itself.

You go home, son.

Father...please come with me, father.

Son, you carry on son.

Lorry driver may come, if he sees you, he may misunderstand us.

Go, son.

We must be living together but I'm leaving you alone.

Kanna, look at me.

Look at me...son...don't cry.

Get up.

Mother!

Go.

Money!

Hubby! - What?

Take it.

Give him.

Son, take this money.

I don't want, father. - Take it.

For our grandson.

Take it...keep it with you.

You're going very far.

Keep it for expenses.

You treat me like this very bad

Son, get going.

Son!

Hey, careful.

Shall we go, sir?

Yes, let's go.

16 years later...

If a factory comes up here, people would get employment,

we agreed for that.

But, some are still protesting.

Lands have dried up without water, right?

Hey, looks like your grandson has passed class 12th.

Kannan told me.

Shanthi, getting late.

I've to go to office after visiting temple, right?

Yes, I'm ready.

Shall we? - Let's go.

Tell me.

Kanna, your father wants to talk to you.

Give the phone to him.

Take it, talk to him.

Hello...Kanna...

Father!

Are you fine, son?

Is your wife doing well?

Who is it? Your father?

We're fine, how about you?

I'm fine.

It seems grandson has passed class 12th.

Yes, father. - Hubby...

Tell him our son has passed 12th, he would be very happy, right?

Father...just hold on for a minute.

I'll give the phone to your grandson, talk to him yourself.

Abhishek! - Daddy!

Take it. - Who is it?

Grandpa!

Hello, grandpa! How are you?

Talking to grandpa in English.

Grandpa can't understand that.

It seems you passed class 12th.

Who is it? Doesn't seem like our grandpa.

Talk to him.

He's your grandpa, my father.

Talk to him.

Son! - Talk to him.

Yes, I passed class 12th, grandpa.

Say 12th in Tamil. He doesn't know English.

I've passed class 12th, grandpa.

What are you going to study further?

Doctor? Engineer? Or Collector?

No, Nano Chemical Technology.

Your grandpa can't understand all that.

Engineering is best, study that.

Yes? What's it, son?

You talk to your father..

Son...grandson...

It's me, father.

Kanna...why your voice is dull?

Eh...what's it?

No, father...he wants to study Nano Technology.

Let him study that.

It'll cost a lot.

I don't know how to manage it?

That's why....

That can be arranged, son.

Our land on the west, useless... not worth much.

It seems they're building some factory nearby.

They're asking for good price, I'll sell it and send you money.

Send him to college.

Why are you selling land, father?

Don't sell, father.

No son, it's been years since raised any crops.

What am I going to do with that land?

Look here, people fed the world are standing in sun to get rice.

For ration rice.

I'm not accusing anyone, son.

It just happened, I'll sell it and send you money.

Send your son to college.

Okay, father.

May I hang up the phone?

Okay, son.

Shall we go?

How are you, sister? - Come in, brother. - Uncle!

Nephew! - Come in.

How come you dropped in without any intimation, brother?

With good news only.

Hello uncle! How are grandpa and grandma?

They're fine.

Abhishek passed class 12th, right? I'm here to congratulate him.

What's this chain, uncle? - Gift for you.

5 sovereigns.

Thank you. - Nephew! How is the chain?

Isn't it good? - Superb, uncle.

Hey, why all this now?

Is he giving it just like that?

He's giving it from my share. - Thank you, uncle.

Correct, sister.

Mother, very nice.

Okay brother, you come with me. - Coming.

Uncle is really great.

He's here with a plan.

Already she doesn't know the value of money.

You're entering college now.

Ask me whatever you want, nephew. - If not with you, who will I ask, uncle?

Shanthi, getting late, come quickly.

We've to visit temple.

Temple will not run away to any other place.

Let's visit temple today evening.

Go to shop and get chicken and mutton, good tender mutton.

If you get Mackerel, get that fish too.

My brother has grown thin, I must cook and feed my brother.

This thing?

They say love will turn people blind, I know that.

What are you looking at?

How affectionately my brother got our son a gold chain?

He can't withstand hunger, I need to cook quickly for him.

Go quickly, don't just look at me.

When you get married and when your wife's relatives come to your home,

you'll know my difficulty then.

Sir is already here.

I'm coming, man!

You've come very late today, sir is going to shout at you.

Sir would've come at 8.30 AM today, right?

How could you guess it correctly?

You're new to office, right? You don't know about Manager.

He wouldn't have asked about late coming with anyone, right?

I think she got a chance to snap at me.

Look, he's going to call you now.

He'll not call me. - How can be so sure?

Watch now! He'll get a call from his home.

I think it's from home.

He'll look at the caller's name and will reject the call.

How could you guess so perfectly, madam?

He'll the same call again, just watch!

Again? - Yes.

Yes.

He'll accept the call now and tell lie, watch!

Is It? She's telling like an astrologer.

You've understood our situation now?

Hey, tell me.

Where are you?

You need so much time to buy chicken and mutton?

I'm waiting here after grinding masala.

I'm in an office meeting, I'll call you later.

Are you in office meeting?

Hubby...

Hello?

Aah?

If you turn that side, would I leave you?

Good morning, sir.

File, sir.

Keep it there.

I'll not leave you so easily.

Sir, I want to ask you a doubt.

Can I ask?

Go ahead.

Any guest from wife's side arrived today?

Sir, I too felt the same when you advised me earlier.

Okay sir, bye.

Hey, to be married bachelors!

Whatever high position you may be holding in office,

if there are subordinates, who are already married,

listen to them and follow whatever they say!

If not, you'll also face my situation only.

Hey, Ramya, look at him, he's looking at you only.

I know, is he looking at me for a day or two?

He has been following me for a month now.

Then, why are you making him chase you?

Why don't you just say, yes to him?

No way, I don't like him but his classmate Abhishek.

Abhishek? - Yes.

He's using college bus to travel to college.

Why don't you love this boy instead of Abhishek?

Look, he owns a bike.

If you love him, you can go on bike every day.

You silly girl!

Is it enough if he has just a bike?

What else you want?

You know who Abhishek is?

He's lone child of that family.

That too fond child!

He'll get whatever he asks.

Not just bike, if he wants a car...

Not only that, you know why I love him,

While studying class 12th, it seems he was dating 5 girls in the name of love.

Are they talking great about me?

But still you love him?

If we love a boy like that boy, it'll end up in problems.

If we love a boy like Abhishek, who loves girls for passing time,

like those 5 girls, we can leave him for a good man.

He too would find another better girl and leave us easily.

I'll not face any problem in future.

Okay, today I must trap her at any cost.

Hey, did you see that?

Till yesterday, she was coming in college bus.

Today, she trapped a boy with bike and riding with him.

Then, I can trap her if I've a bike.

Welcome sir. - Welcome, sir.

Yes sir. Which bike would you like to see, sir?

Reasonable priced bike that gives good mileage, show me that bike.

I want this bike only.

It's nice.

This bike...what's the mileage?

This will give 30 kilometers, sir. But can ride at 160 kilometers speed.

What could be the price?

Rs.1 lakh, sir.

Hey, you're going to ride bike on city roads for the first time,

after 2 years, I'll buy you this bike.

Buy me this bike or else I don't want bike.

I'm going out.

Hey, wait, son.

Why are you getting so angry?

Son, I don't have money.

Forget it son. He's always like this.

Always sings the same song of misery.

You don't worry, I'll tell your uncle and get you a good big car.

I don't want car, mother. Tell him to buy me this bike.

That's enough.

As if he'll buy it!

Hey, what do you want?

You want this bike, right?

Yes.

I wanted to buy a bike that fits my earning.

But, you didn't listen to me.

No problem, I've done so much.

Won't I do this?

Buy it, son.

Mother, I'm going out.

Son, you forgot books, take it.

Watch out.

Why is he rushing?

Where is he going?

He's going out to give books to a friend.

Shanthi, I'm going out of station for office work.

Pack my dresses.

What's this surprize? You're taking a hen with you.

My son is coming home, that's why.

Is it? Okay.

Father!

Son!

How are you, father?

Kanna!

Give it to me.

How is daughter-in-law?

She's fine. - How's grandson?

Rasathi! - Yes, coming.

Kanna...Kannan is here.

Kanna!

Mother!

What's this, son? You've grown so thin.

Are you eating or not?

I'm eating, mother.

Go, freshen up and come.

Let's eat.

Go, get ready to serve.

I'm feeling sticky, I'll take bath in the pond.

No one in this village takes bath there anymore.

It is contaminated with some chemical.

Take bath in home itself.

Yes son, I've filled two buckets of water.

Take bath and come.

Let's have lunch.

Give a towel to him.

Come.

Did you've lunch, father?

We had, you carry on.

Serve him.

I'll put big pieces.

Eat, son.

Eat, son.

Eat, son.

Hey, what are you looking at?

Eat, son.

What do you think my son? -What's this, son?

It's been many days since I cooked and served you food.

I'll feed you with my hands.

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Is it tasty, son?

Enough, mother.

You didn't eat much.

Mother, I said enough.

Eat some more meat.

How thin you've grown!

Eat one more mouthful!

Enough, mother.

Don't I know how much you eat!

While going to school, you used to eat a vessel full of rice.

Why don't you eat like that anymore?

Eat!

What, son? Call from office?

Yes, father.

One minute. - Carry on.

Won't she allow him to eat peacefully also?

Tell me.

Hubby! Are you done with your meeting?

I'll come today evening.

Tomorrow is our son's birthday.

We have to cut cake, you remember it, right?

Not only that, my brother is also coming.

Plenty of work is there to do, called you just to remind about it.

Okay, I'll come.

Hey, Kanna! When did you come?

Come, Muthu! How are you, buddy?

I'm fine, dude.

Your parents were lamenting about you.

What have you decided?

What should I decide?

I didn't let them lament about me.

They're looking at me as if I'm a swamp.

Swamp?

Why are you looking at me? I meant marriage as swamp.

People like us marry and leave our parents on streets.

Then, come secretly to meet parents without the knowledge of wife.

I don't want that nasty life.

So, I've decided to take care of my parents all their life without marrying.

Life would be happy without marriage and wife.

Hey, Muthu!

Why elderly man is shouting?

What's that unnecessary talk? Go away from here.

I'll not cast an evil on your son, forget it, uncle.

What do you lack, dude? You're very lucky man.

You come to meet your parents at your will and wish, right?

Be happy, buddy.

Bye.

Mother, getting late to college.

He'll not hear it now.

Mother!

Hubby!

What?

He's going to college, give him pocket money.

I know where to hit and how to get my share!

Today is my birthday, I think he'll be little generous.

Where should I search for it?

Bloody crook has hidden his purse here!

There's plenty in the purse.

Take it, spend it judiciously.

He'll never reform in life.

What's this, hubby?

You're giving just Rs.500 on his birthday too.

It's not enough for petrol expenses too.

Give me the purse.

You're pampering him too much.

Have a blast with friends. - Thank you, mummy.

Bye.

How are you, sister?

Come in, brother.

Hey nephew! - Uncle!

Come in, uncle.

Happy birthday! - Thank you...thank you.

Here's your gift!

Wow! Vivo phone!

Keep this you, mom. I'll check today evening.

I'm going out urgently, I'll come back quickly, please stay here only.

Okay? - Carry on, nephew.

Bye, mummy. - Go carefully, son.

Come, brother, please sit down. - Okay.

I'll come back in a minute.

Okay.

Now that he's here, I'll not get food also.

Okay, it's getting late, I'll go now.

Then sister, you need to sign few documents, come.

What's this, brother? Did I ever say no to you, brother?

Sign on each paper.

He always lays only baits, this time he's spreading a net.

Okay, I'll take leave now.

Tell my inquiries to mom and dad, brother.

I'll tell them, bye.

Okay, brother.

Go carefully, brother.

Hey, do you know this matter?

Yesterday your Abhishek got drunk and had no money to pay bill,

he had to sell gold chain to settle it.

Don't know what he would sell in future!

College life is over

I was waiting to ditch him.

This chain matter is enough to ditch him.

Abhi! Come here.

Where's your gold chain?

Lost it.

What? Lost it?

What's this, son? You're telling casually like losing a pen or pencil.

Hey, it was 5 sovereign gold chain, son!

What? What now?

He said he lost it, right?

Why are you shouting on him unnecessarily?

As if you bought that chain with your money.

You don't worry, son.

I'll ask your uncle to get you 10 sovereign gold chain.

Okay?

Ask him to buy another one.

Buying him freely everything, ruin his life yourself.

Ruining his life?

Am I ruining his life?

It isn't just enough if you father a child?

You must give them a comfortable life too.

What are you talking before our son?

If I slap you... - Father!

What's wrong in what mother said now?

Leave him.

Come.

Once you marry, you'll understand then!

Why we're drinking?

TASMAC Wine Shop

Brother! - What?

Give me a bottle of liquor that'll give instant intoxication.

Any liquor here will give you intoxication.

How much? - Rs.150.

Take it.

Tell me, buddy.

Mother slipped and fell down in home.

What?

Where are you now?

I'm in your home only.

Stay on line, I'll give the phone to mother.

Wait, I'll give phone to father, talk to him.

Father, phone.

Who?

Your son, talk to him.

Why did you call him?

Mother is injured, right? Talk to him.

He's on line.

Kanna...

Are you fine?

Father...what happened to mother?

How are daughter-in-law and grandson?

Forget about them, father.

It seems mother slipped and fell down, what happened?

Nothing like that, son.

Muthu said mother slipped and fell down.

That is..

She slipped and fell down.

Just sprain in leg, nothing serious.

She's getting old, right?

Give the phone to mother.

Hey Son wants to talk to you

If you cry, he'll feel sad.

Tall to him.

Hey...

Hey, give the phone to me.

Son, mother is getting up, wait, I'll give phone to her.

Talk to your mother.

Don't cry and create a scene, he'll get worried.

If you cry, I'll kill you.

Mother!

Mother...what happened, mother?

Hey...

Mother...why are you crying, mother?

Talk to me, mother.

Mother...

Mother...

Kanna...

Mother...

Why are you crying, mother?

Mother...what happened, mother?

Son...

Father?

Your mother got hurt, right? Nothing much.

Unable to bear, that's why.

Okay, give the phone to Muthu, father.

Come on, tell me.

I'm coming immediately, look after them till I reach there.

Okay, I'll look after them, you leave immediately.

If there's anything else, I'll inform you

May I hang up now? - Sleep.

Are we dependent on his study and future earnings?

Let him look after farm, cattle and stay with us.

You too are spoiling him, by pampering him, right?

He's herding cows without attending school.

Did your grandfather went to school? Did you father go to school?

Say, did you go to school?

Why are you after the boy's life in the name of school?

Hello, uncle!

How come you called me suddenly, nephew?

I need little money for expenses, uncle.

Problem with my father, no money for petrol too, uncle.

Uncle...

New design...it's very good.

Hello?

I'm a nurse calling from AMN Hospital.

This is your husband's number, right?

Yes, but who are you?

How did you get this phone?

He has met with a small accident.

Accident?

Nothing much to worry.

Come immediately to the hospital.

Tell me, mother.

Where are you, son?

It seems your father has met with an accident.

Tell me, sister.

Brother, your brother-in-law has met with an accident.

Did your husband met with an accident?

He's in hospital now.

I need money urgently, brother.

Is it, sister?

I'm in Bangalore now in an important meeting.

I'll talk to you later.

We gathered wealth for our children but forgot to teach them affection.

Take it.

Number 4 patient is getting discharged, bills to be paid for him.

Excuse me, madam. - Yes.

Mr.Kannan? - He's in ICU ward.

You? - His wife.

Pay the pending bill first.

You can pay balance bills after treatment.

Take it.

You wait here, madam. Nurse will come.

Tell me, dear.

Father...my husband has met with an accident.

I called brother, father.

Brother cut the call saying he's in Bangalore in a meeting, father.

I need money urgently now, father.

Your brother is not in Bangalore, he's here only.

I can't help you with money now.

What are you saying, father?

Yes, I didn't want to tell you this because you'd feel bad,

I've hidden this for long time.

Acting like a good son, he transferred entire property on his name.

He played a drama and usurped your share of property too, dear.

I and your mother are living like dead in our own home.

Unable to share this with anyone, we're dying in that feeling.

Mother!

What's it, mother? What happened to father?

He's in ICU.

Come.

Mother, wait...I'll go out and come back.

Buddy, I'm Muthu here.

Father said he has no money, I gave him what I had,

I'm going out urgently on work, where are you now?

Tell me, Muthu.

I want to talk to Kannan, give the phone to him.

Not that, Muthu.

Won't he talk to me?

Is he asking you to talk?

His mother slipped and fell down.

He hasn't started yet.

Is he really a son?

Is he showing his weight of wealth?

The life you're enjoying in Chennai, who gave you that life?

They raised, educated your husband, they sold land to educate your son,

now, they're standing on streets without anything.

I though Kannan won't be like others, he too has become like all others.

Once married, they take care of wife's relatives only.

They're ditching parents too.

I'm going on talking here, why are you not saying a word?

Muthu, he has met with an accident and he's in hospital now.

What? Accident?

Yes, that's why, he couldn't come there.

Don't tell about his accident with my in-laws.

Take care of my in-laws till we come there.

Once he gets better, I'll come there with him for good.

Okay.

Just see him, don't talk much.

Come...come...

Hey, why are you crying?

You mustn't cry till I'm here.

Sir, receipt for the balance paid.

Okay.

Give it to me.

Abhi....who paid the bill?

I paid the bill, mother.

I sold my bike.

Hey, you loved and bought it, right?

Bike isn't important than you, father.

Kannan, now it's alright.

This was the result of over tension.

Madam, it's in your hands now to keep him safe from over tension.

If this continues, it may turn fatal also.

Be careful.

Doctor! - Yes?

Can I travel now?

No...no...you need to take complete rest for 2 or 3 days.

You can travel after that.

Where are you?

Sir, it's me.

Order...

You're....Abhishek, right?

Yes, how do you know me?

I know you.

The girl Ramya, with whom you were hanging around in the name of love.

Yes.

She was hanging with me in school saying she loves me.

When I was in love with her, I was in 12th and she was in class 10.

I went to college after school.

Everything was fine till she finished class 12th.

After joining college, she started avoiding me.

when I came to college, thinking you're richer than me,

she had ditched me.

Then, I decided to avoid all this non-sense.

I concentrated on studies, got a good job in a good company.

But, how come you're doing this?

My father is not well, so I had to take up this job.

I didn't get this job too easily.

A worker went on leave, so I was given chance to fill his place.

There's a vacancy in Madurai, willing to go there?

Yes, sure.

Tell me, when should I go there?

Take it, son.

Why so much money, father?

You're going out of station alone for the first time.

You may need for emergency.

Keep it with you. - I don't want this much, take it, father.

Keep it, son. - Keep it with you.

This is enough for me.

Abhi, call me after boarding bus.

Call me on reaching.

Okay?

Okay, mom.

Go carefully, son.

I'll go, mom.

I'll go, dad.

Take care.

Hello! Abhishek?

One minute, dad.

Okay, tell me, dad.

Have you reached?

Reached. - Bro, the bus you asked is here.

Get down there, the company is nearby.

Father, bus is here, I'll call you attending interview.

Okay, son.

Little better now. - Brother, please stop for a moment.

I'm waiting here for the bus.

Sir, how to reach Sudha factory?

Go straight...it's on the left side.

Take a turn third street from here.

Oh third street.

Brother, go straight and third left.

The factory is on your land, you're guiding someone to that place.

You sold your property for son and now you're on streets.

Shanthi! Yellow thread on your neck...

When you were in hospital, Muthu called from your village,

he said your mother and father were not well,

moreover he said they don't have any money too,

so, I sold my chain and sent money to them.

What, bro? You wouldn't have got the job, right?

How can you get the job?

There's only one job, more over Minister's recommendation.

A politician's son got the job.

He already joined duty also.

Look, so many like you are coming here and going dejected for that job.

But, when I see young men like you, I'm getting sacred.

I too have son like you.

Very good in studies.

Always stood first in class.

Do you know how much I struggled to educate him?

We were just shepherds and cowherds.

We didn't want our sons to face the same difficulties,

so, we sold off goats and cows,

we put him through college.

The goats and cows I sold to get him a degree,

he didn't get any job,

and I'm not in a position to buy back those goats and cows.

That's why, I joined here as watchman.

I'm now sending money every month to my unemployed son.

When young men like you come here and go,

I don't have confidence my son will find a job,

but, has confidence that someday he'll find a good suitable job for his degree.

TASMAC Wine Shop

What else you want?

Give.

Sir!

Yes?

Tell me, what do you want?

Take this.

You asked the way to factory, right?

Yes, sir.

Get me a quarter bottle.

You look well educated.

Looks like you're from a good family.

Why do you people come to such places?

It is a place to get ruined and ruin entire property too.

Understand that.

Hey, don't talk too much and spoil my business.

He's here to drink, right? Just serve what he asks, you idiot!

Go, man...he's advising him.

Take it. - Hey, empty bottle are lying, clean it.

Ravi, that nasty guy wants us to vacate the roadside shop.

Find a new place quickly.

What do you want to eat?

I don't want anything.

Buy this bike or else I don't want bike at all.

Father!

What's wrong in what mother said!

Sir!

What happened, sir?

Sir!

What happened, sir?

Don't know what happened to him?

Sir...please look at me.

Sir!

Grandma...grandma...

Karuppan grandpa is lying dead in wine shop.

Village people are bringing his body.

I'm going, grandma.

Shanthi!

See, who is calling?

Hello!

I'm Muthu here.

Yes, tell me, Muthu.

Did you give the money I sent to my father-in-law?

The money you sent...

Tell me, Muthu.

Before I could give the money to father...

What happened, Muthu?

To take that money, he's no more.

Died?

We're aghast, Muthu.

Father-in-law!

Shanthi!

Shanthi!

Who called just now?

Muthu!

It seems father-in-law got the money I sent to him.

Shanthi!

If he comes to know you had sent the money.

Do you know how happy he would be?

Shall we go to meet father-in-law and mother-in-law?

The moment you decided to meet my parents,

my energy level has doubled with that.

Let's go right now.

I'll get ready.

SONG

Money blinded hearts...

Played hide and seek game...

After playing high and mighty, understood what life is...

Understood what life is...

Take it, shirts and trousers for our grandson Mayandi.

Hey! Why are you taking them inside?

Tell them to take bath in outside bathroom.

Father-in-law and mother-in-law are another pair of mother and father...

This heart of sin didn't realize it till now...

This heart of sin...

You know Puppy can't bear hunger, right?

Serve first to him and then bother about others.

You've come from outside, right?

If you touch the child, he may get infection...

Didn't offer them food or water...

Never considered them as our own...

Hereafter, don't call my son as Mayandi.

Killed them with harsh words, no compassion in heart...

No compassion in heart...

Uncle It barks on seeing strangers.

You sit in a corner.

Sinful heart didn't allow grandparents to fondle their grandson...

The sin of separating son from parents is still pursuing...

This sin is still pursuing...

Brother, stop near a shop, please.

I want to buy water bottle.

Sins committed is hauling... - Wait, I'll get it.

Now, realizing the mistake after death, I hate myself for it...

One water bottle please.

I hate myself for it...

Where are you now?

We're coming, please don't make phone calls.

Okay.

Who called on phone?

Our son.

I tried but didn't get the line.

I'll sit in the front, will you sit in the back seat?

Muthu! Did you talk to Kannan?

Where are they now?

He'll come, very nearby. - Okay. - He'll come.

What's this?

Why are you crying?

Father-in-law!

Father!

I thought we were live together

You've left me, father.

Father!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother why all the bad things happened only to me?

Mother!

I didn't do anything for you, mother... didn't do anything...

Oh mother, you've left me!

Mother...

Mother...father...

Father...

How come you're here?

Father!

He's your grandfather.

Grandfather?

What are you saying, father?

Mother...mother...you left the world without meeting your grandson.

Look at him, mother.

Mother!

Look at them, son.... your grandfather and grandmother.

I'm the sinner, who didn't let them see you for the last 18 years!

Sir!

Get me a quarter bottle.

I asked you to buy liquor and killed you myself, grandpa!

I let you see me in this condition, grandpa.

Mother...mother...

Father...

Father...

My God!

My prince!

My father!

I'm telling from the bottom of my heart.

Even if we three die, don't come for funeral also.

Don't come even if we die three of us

My king...my God...

Even if I die, none of you three must come to my funeral.

Get lost!

Did you leave us as you had promised?

Do you know who they are? Your paternal aunties.

Your father's sisters.

They had a fight when you were a kid and went away.

Fight was for you only.

Third sister was shocked by brother's death, she's in hospital now.

Your father and mother were the only relatives you had till now.

If you go now, we don't know when will you come back here again.

Even if you come, I don't know if I would be alive then.

Your grandfather gathered property for your father to live happily.

But your father sold everything for your happiness.

The only land left now is, garden with your grandpa's tomb.

Don't know what your grandpa's idea was!

He made a wish to get buried here only.

Your father didn't sell that land bit under any circumstance.

He left the land documents with me.

Take it.

If you sell this last bit of land from your ancestors,

there won't be anything for your son.

in the lands that were already sold, if something else comes up there,

people, who fight to save it,

police, who use force to control them,

and authorities, who had given orders for it,

everyone of them died here only.

We were fighting among ourselves and dying.

There won't be anything left for future.

If people return to their native place.

We can at least save the balance land.

Okay, go to sleep.

Have to offer milk by down.

Bye, son.

I'll make sure Sivanandi and this village to fall at my feet in near future.

Your father's last salary.

Back then, your grandfather exiled my father for brewing illicit liquor.

I didn't go any worse, you didn't get any rich.

Take it, accept the money.

Life is a circle.

Your grandfather didn't know that.

Sir, we consider Mother Earth as Goddess Mother,

these hands which hold tiller to grow food for everyone,

these hands will never beg anything from anyone.

Look there!

Mayandi!

However educated you may be,

don't ever forget your origin roots.

Living together is bliss...

It's a God given boon to us...

Living together is bliss...

It's a God given boon to us...

It's a God given boon to us...

It's a forest developed by crows, parrots and birds...

Forest was our home in earlier times...

Fertility of soil will increase with earthworms...

As fertility increases, crops will grow well...

If harvest is good, humans will prosper...

If we forget soil, humanity will die...

If we forget soil, humanity will die...

Living together is bliss...

It's a God given boon to us...
