Where are you, Buddy?

Late as usual?

You fool!

Dumb dodo!

Ananya's getting married!

Arranged marriage?

Yes, parents chose him He's from the US

Skype, chat and the match was made

- Mrs Bhavani, how are you? - Who are you?

It's me, Prabhu

I took you to the cinema last week, remember?

I even danced in the hall for you

Who's this?

The gas supplier?

This is Adi, aunty

Ganapathy uncle's friend...

...Chennai Vasudevan's brother

- He's your new paying guest - Are you his wife?

No, aunty

Who'd marry Adi?

- What's your name again? - Aditya Varadarajan

I'm Vasu's brother

Was the train late?

Buddy was late

I have a few conditions

Vasu anna told me

What did he say?

That you are very strict

I must pay the rent on time Keep the room clean

No late parties, loud music or smoking

Buddy filled me in too

Aunty is a famous Carnatic singer

She knows Tamil so I should watch what I say

It keeps connecting to a wrong number

Try again, Bhavani

What else did Buddy say?

Ananya says Mrs Bhavani is the nice one, you're a grouch

Thanks, Adi!

Happy now? He's a bit hyper

Should I throw you out?

I'm doing this for Vasu

He was my protege at the bank

You have a month's grace

You behave you stay

Else, hit the road

Okay, sir

We're in trouble

The boss sounds furious

Play up the Tamil brotherhood card

Mumbai 20

An Indian game for Indian kids

Are you messing with me?

The game starts in a local train

A killer

A victim

And the player in the middle

The victim falls into the player's hands

The victim has a bag

With a gun inside

A mobile phone

And a torn 500-rupee note

There are two Mumbais

One - Upper Mumbai

Filled with colour, glamour, fashion shows, discos, Bollywood

Stock markets, billionaires, fast cars

Big boats, beautiful girls in bikinis

And the other

Lower Mumbai

Money laundering, contract killing, black money

Opium, drugs

The game starts at the Upper Level

But if you slip and fall

Or pick up that phone, get baited by the dirty cop

Or trace that torn note

Or if the killer traps you

You'll face the master villains

The Twins

Making it back to the Upper Level

That's the game

That’s Mumbai 2.0

You have six weeks

I need a working prototype

Only six weeks

I'm nervous

Do you remember me?

Adi

Tara

How did you guess I was Tamil?

By the choice words you hurled at me at the station

What did you call me?

Darling

Darling?

Didn't sound like that

When you're stressed, the words come out all wrong

Is Ananya your friend?

Collegemate

Now, we work together

She looks pretty

And very happy

It'll be fun for a while Hunky-dory

The wedding and the honeymoon

The hugs and kisses

Love

Lust

Definitely lust

But soon enough

Soon enough?

The small spats

Out with friends, he makes fun of the wife

He gets whipped at home

To top it all, a baby

Wailing non-stop

And puking

And pooping all over

And then

the hoopla of school admissions

Torture the poor kid to study harder

And when he grows up

Get him married and repeat the cycle

Of torture, right?

Absolutely

You know the drill too well Married?

No way! It's not for me

- Marriage is for fools - Touche!

- Only girlfriends then? - Yeah, about 15?

- And you? - I'm going to Paris soon

And?

For further studies Architecture

- And you? - I'm going to be super rich

Like Steve Jobs or Zuckerberg

Wasn't I clear? No late night parties or sneaking in at 3 am

It was Ananya's wedding The poor girl is done for

I'm off to the Municipality Office They've sent me wrong bills

- Extra cash should fix the problem - No bribes I'll handle it in person

I wasn't looking for your approval

There's a concert this evening I want you to take Bhavani

- Me? - Yes, you!

- Not too much sugar? - It's just right, dear

How can I be in two places at one time?

Take her

- I have work - You can leave the office by 6

Why are you following me?

To make sure you're ok

I've lived in Bombay for 23 years I'll be fine

It's Mumbai now, not Bombay

That's why I'm coming with you

But I don't want you to

Ok, I won't

When did they change the name to Mumbai?

Greetings, madam

Greetings

Are you fine, dear?

- Looks like you're a big star - Sure I am

Get out!

Me?

You were snoring right through

Uncouth fellow!

I was sleepy

I've been working round the clock

No excuses

Get out! Uncultured boor

You're over-reacting

Go get off the bus!

Go!

I'm not Ganapathy So stop yelling at me

Now go

Are you going or not?

Tone-deaf fellow

No sense of music or culture

How was the concert?

You're a great man

Almost God-like

Need something, Bhavani?

It's late I have to make dinner

But we've finished dinner

Roasted potatoes

- You made them - Oh, when?

They were spicy and yummy

The pan is grimy

Needs scrubbing

Alzheimer's Early stages

Vasu anna mentioned it

She's aware that something's amiss

That's why the occasional hysteria

How do you manage?

She calls me with such affection the next morning

that it makes it all worth it

What is it?

I could never be like you

Let the pan soak overnight

- I've opened a bank account - At which branch?

- Your friend Srikanth helped - Rs 35,000 gross?

No, after tax deduction I plan to save it all

- If you need more - No

Please don't send money

Don't forget to meet Keshav

'What happened?'

I'll go this weekend Vashi

Got it You gave clear directions

I know I did so, don't call me again for the directions

So, Vashi

Third stop, second right Next to the Punjabi shop

Tell me, bro

Can't get coffee there

Only tea

- Make sure you're early - Battery's dying

Can't hear you

Not again!

It's me

Girl friend no 16

I thought it was no 10

Can we talk? Or is it the wrong time?

Not at all I'm glad you called

I wanted to hear my mother tongue

Is that all the Tamil you know?

Of course not I can quote Thevaaram, Thiruvaasagam

Why are you mumbling? Is someone there?

Ghosts, ghouls, banshees

Tamil ghosts?

No

A fat Hindi ghost

Then we can talk in peace

Shall we meet?

Isn't it a mistake, befriending a Tamil boy so quickly?

Sure it is

But can we make the mistake over a cup of coffee?

It's Saturday, after all Phoenix Mall?

Don't hang up

I have

Good bye to all the Hindi ghosts

Guess who you'll be working with!

The architect, Balakrishna Doshi

The boss wants to see you

Hurry

Where are you?

At the office

Thank God

I'm not waiting at the mall

And if you were?

I would have been furious, ready to kill someone

Would have waited and fumed

And finally given up and called you

Are you still there?

Down two coffees already

Be there in fifteen

Will you wait?

- Sure? - Absolutely!

I'm getting into the lift

I am into it

Pressed '0'

And zooming down

Still zooming

Be there in five

- You've been here the whole time? - I could go back and wait

Is this your idea of a joke?

No Let's get coffee

Shall I wheel the bike and walk with you?

What did you tell the office?

That I'm going out for coffee with a fellow Tamilian

Come...come

Why is that hero after us?

You saw him at the station

That guy?

You tried to stop the train for him?

Just made a scene to grab his attention

He didn't bother, you did

He's following us

So, what's his story?

Started as friends

And out of the blue, he proposed marriage

I refused But he wouldn't give up

- So, you gave in? - No

I figured out why he wanted to marry me

Why?

He asked my friend Ratna about me

About my family and our finances in Coimbatore

He didn't want me

Just my balance sheet

- And? - I agreed to marry him

- You did! - But I said I'd leave home penniless

And that he must fend for me He backed out

I threatened to jump under a train That's when you came

"This crazy heart"

"This frenzied youth"

"This torrent of music"

"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"

"This crazy heart"

"This frenzied youth"

"This torrent of music"

"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"

"Yesterday is a thing of the past"

"Who cares what tomorrow brings"

"Here and now, the world is ours"

"For today, we're the king and queen"

"This crazy heart"

"This frenzied youth"

"This torrent of music"

"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"

"Don't taunt me with your eyes"

"Don't leave without a caress"

"Don't shy away at a mere touch"

"Don't leave even if I let you go"

"A big fat wedding"

"In-laws and marital blues"

"Baby girls and baby boys"

"Oh no, not for me!"

"This crazy heart"

"This frenzied youth"

"This torrent of music"

"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"

Meet me tomorrow?

Where?

So, when?

How did you get married to Ganapathy uncle?

How did you get married to Ganapathy uncle?

Ask my Prince Charming here cutting...

- Okra - Ask him

How did you manage to woo aunty?

Don't be shy, Ganapathy

I was from a small town

Missing my Tamil and its culture in Mumbai

One day I went to Bhavani's concert

She was about 20 then

Nineteen

She sang like a dream

Tell them what I looked like

Like a movie star

I didn't miss a single concert

My friend Sounder and I were regulars

Great doctor but tone deaf

He came just to ogle Bhavani

And you listened with your eyes closed?

Sounder wrote Bhavani a letter

Too shy to give it to her

He made me do the honours

But the fool forgot to sign his name

What was I to think?

- That Ganapathy uncle wrote the letter? - Yes

And he was dark and handsome too

They're peeled, dear

And then one day

She took me to her folks, with all the letters

Three months later...

...we were married

Not many second chances in life

You get one, you grab it

What are you doing here?

Where's this train headed?

- Ahmedabad? - But why?

Sight seeing

I should have known

- You do this often? - Sight seeing?

No, stalking girls

Since the day I was born

Really?

- What's the tally? - I don't keep count

I'm sure you haven't been near a girl

May be

How did you manage a ticket?

I didn't

No time

What if you're caught?

Too bad

- Let's go - Don't

Stay here

- They're waiting for me - Why?

- They'll come looking - Let them

Yeah? Fine, let them

What was that old man droning on about?

He's Balakrishna Doshi

Who's that fellow?

My guru

What's your guru saying?

That I shouldn't trust these gamers

My dad used to come here everyday

Does he still come here?

Is he short-fused?

Should I be worried?

He won't come

He's gone

How come?

He decided he was done

And he was gone

Your mom?

In Coimbatore

What happened?

Constant fights

Sometimes violent

Dragged to court

They asked a 7 year-old to choose...

...which parent to live with

I didn't want either

I decided then...

...that I would never marry

Aren't we late for the train?

What do we do now?

How should I know?

The next bus is at 8 a.m

There's a lodge nearby

- For both of us? - Yes

- In the same room? - No

Only one room available

Can you promise to behave?

No way

I'll sleep on the balcony

Do you think I can behave?

Can you?

Sure

That great build up for nothing? What an anti-climax!

- Where's the lodge? - Right here

Adithya Varadarajan?

Don't you know my full name yet?

What's that?

Come here

Come

Say whatever's on your mind

Make it a song

A song?

Yes, sing

Sing Go on

"Fly away with me"

"Fly away with me"

"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"

"My hesitant words"

"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"

"My hesitant words with a pain so sweet"

"An unexplored space"

"A brand new moment My hesitant words..."

"...with a pain so sweet"

"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"

"My hesitant words with a pain so sweet"

"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"

"My hesitant words with a pain so sweet"

"Don't even think of it, go away Don't yearn, go away"

"Fly away with me"

"Don't tease and taunt me so"

"Don't even think of it, go away Don't yearn, go away"

"Let's get drenched without a drop of rain"

"Let's become one, leave our bodies behind"

"Let's float away like drifting clouds"

"Let's meld into the wind and fly away"

"Fly away with me"

"Fly away with me"

"Fly away with me"

"Fly away with me"

"Fly away with me"

Tell me this was your best holiday

This was the best holiday ever

- Did I say it right? - No

Say it like you meant it

You really want me to?

No! Please don't

Ok, darling

I'm your darling?

Yes, darling

Shall I go?

I must go

Say 'Go, darling'

Don't go, darling

Aunty...

This is from our temple

Homemade pickle that your aunt packed for you

Shall we go in?

Where were you?

Project research

Want something to eat from the canteen?

Your friends came back last night

Have you come to spy on me?

Is it wrong to be concerned about my only daughter?

Sounds like an accusation to me

May be

Where did you go?

I was worried

I even called the Commissioner for help

Answer me, Tara

Where were you? With whom?

Do I question you every time you go out?

Do I ask who you are with?

I'll give you one tight slap

Answer me

Where were you?

Where were you?

I went to the ashram

To see the place where dad breathed his last

Enough?

Stop acting like your dad

Come back and take care of the company

Enough with all of your art and architecture!

I'm going to Paris, Ma

On a scholarship

I don't intend coming back

Are you even listening to me?

I'm not interested in the company

How many times do I say it?

Being lenient with you was a big mistake

May be you should just let me be

What?

- What happened in Ahmedabad? - Nothing

Really, nothing

You didn't take the train back with us

You didn't come

As far as I know you didn't come

And you stayed the night there

- So? - Who was it?

Who was it?

Nothing like that

A friend

Don't run away Tell us, Tara

What are you doing here?

Come away with me

Tell them it's a migraine

- Tell them you need the day off - Are you crazy?

I didn't sleep a wink last night

Me neither

Really?

I'm still trembling

- Adi, enough - Enough

Don't come any closer then

I can't help it

No more

If you say so

Is it love?

Why won't you say it then?

What if I say?

I want ice cream

Should I ask my mother to fly in tomorrow?

Why?

To meet you

What for?

So our folks can meet...

...and discuss the engagement

Engagement?

You look scared silly

You had me there for a bit

Marriage and the works

A strict no-no, right?

But you said marriage is for fools

What about Ahmedabad?

And the kiss today?

We pretend it never happened?

What does that mean?

It means of course not!

Right now, we need to leave or I'll be fired

What?

Where are we going?

- To your hostel - Why?

To get you home safely

Why?

I want you safe before I change my mind

And what if you changed your mind?

I'll hold you tight

And?

- Won't let you go - Then?

- I'll kiss you hard - And then?

Might disrobe you

Disrobe me?

Yes

And then?

Go anywhere...

Go to London or Paris

But I'd beg you to stay with me till then

And if you beg me so?

You'd melt with love and...

And?

Drag me in...

And?

Shut the door

And?

I don't know You take it from there

I'll eat you up

Do you really like me?

Loads and loads

But this hostel room is a pain

Do you really like me or just all this?

I like all this...

...but I like you more

Just a wee bit more

A wee bit is good enough

Too much would spell trouble

Listen to me

Isn't all this wrong? This love and lust?

It is a big sin

But we need to keep at it to absolve ourselves

I don't get it

- Can Tara be a paying guest too? - Taravu in Malayalam means "duck"

But where will she stay?

In my room

In your room?

Yes

- So this is Tara? - Yes, Bhavani

What about you?

She'll stay with me

Both of you

In one room?

Yes

Did you get married?

- Oh no! - I don't believe in marriage

Problems in his horoscope?

If we marry, I'll have to go wherever Adi finds work

Why must we always follow the men?

What's she talking about?

I'm going soon

To Paris

And Adi is going to make it big He'll be in the US or UK

Till then?

We want to be together till then

A live-in relationship?

Is it wrong, aunty?

Absolutely!

Ganapathy is too old-fashioned

While driving, even if the indicator is on...

...he still rolls down the window and signals with his hand

Does your brother know?

He'd kill me

This won't work

No way

Can we step out for a minute?

I won't allow it in my house

Please, come out for a minute

Do you sing?

Would you rather we met secretly in shady joints or...

...stay here with your blessings

Blessings to boot?

And what about your brother?

Aunty is unwell

You go and take care here

With Tara here, we could both help

The answer is no I speak for Bhavani too

- You're being difficult like Vasu - Bhavani will never agree

"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"

"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"

"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"

"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"

"What do I ask for..."

"What do I ask for..."

"...so you give in to me?"

"What do I ask for..."

"...so you give in to me?"

"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"

"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"

"I pray for flowers..."

"What do I ask for..."

"...so you give in to me?"

"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"

"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"

- Sister-in-law is calling - Whose?

Mine obviously

Hello, sister-in-law!

I'm fine

What am I doing?

- Tell her the truth - I'm working

How's my brother?

- And my dear Jaya? - Who is Jaya?

What?

Yes, tell me

Tell me, bro

To the taxi driver?

Which address?

You're here? In Mumbai?

Why?

They're in Mumbai

Yes, Teen Bhavan

In Gamdevi

Near the Opera House

Yes, bro

Do come, Vasu anna It's been ages

We're done for

We're so dead

They're coming straight over

Right now?

Yes! Anna has a conference in town

Why give them the right address? You're such a dodo

Wake up

Where will you go now?

Why should I go?

You're kidding, right?

My brother will go crazy He's a control freak

Shall I hide under the bed?

It won't help My anni will sniff you out

You need to go

- I won't - Get up hurry

I won't

What are you saying?

I won't budge from here

When I meet them, I'll say

'I'm Tara, living in sin with Adi'

And go back to sleep

Oh, no! It's anni

You're here already?

Say second floor It'll buy us 5 minutes

Sweetheart... my love... please get up

Be a darling Please

Get up!

Don't be difficult Don't make me beg

They're just visiting

A bit of hide-n-seek will save us a lot of melodrama

Sweet gooseberry, please get up

- Gooseberry? - Fine, blueberry then

Up!

They're here

Maria!

- How are you? - First class

So, Bill Gates? Have you been good?

No, thanks

- We just had coffee - Have another

Three coffees, please

Look who is here

Mrs Bhavani, remember me?

Is Mr Ganapathy out?

Let me guess He's gone for a walk

Four rounds of the park

Then he buys the papers on the way home

Sweets Mr Ganapathy's favourite

Who are they, Adi?

- Saroja, my sister-in-law - I'm Vasu

I had worked with Ganapathy sir

- Which is your room? - My room?

Right here

You met Saroja at our wedding This is Jaya

This way?

Why not have coffee first?

Bachelor's room

- It's very messy - No need to explain

I have a confession to make

- Some major changes... - Keep it for later

I wanted to tell you

Please wait

Vasu, see how tidy Adi's room is He's not messy like you

What's in here?

No cigarettes stashed anywhere

Not bad, Adi

- You've changed - Thanks to your training

- Why so late, Ganapathy? - I walked an extra round

- A conference in town? - Business Plan Review

They have booked a ticket for me to go

We go back tomorrow

Welcome, Saroja

You're staying with us Don't even think of a hotel

Where are you going?

Then?

Is this what he's been up to since he got here?

Since the day he was born

Bad guys alert!

There!

The bad guys are catching up

Behind you!

We're so dead

Vasu, this is Tara

Ganapathy uncle's niece

My niece?

Yes, your niece

But Ganapathy does not have a niece

I'm Vasu

Mr Ganapathy's junior at the bank

Adi's elder brother

I've seen her before

Did I barge into a family reunion?

Aunty, your CD

Why is she going to your room?

My site drawings are in there

What are they doing there?

Uncle was showing them to me Look under the bed

Come and sit here

- We have one life left - Let's play

I must have left them at the office

Aunty, the house keys

Tara, where do you live?

Me?

Right here

Right here

Here?

Where else would she stay?

I told you I've seen her before

She was leaning over and...

I'm late

Help her to an auto

- I'll go - No, it's fine

I’ll come

You never mentioned a niece before

He doesn't have a niece, Vasu

Don't you get it?

A bit slow, are you?

- Just not sharp - He's always been slow

Slow at work too

I’ll go first

Careful

You don't come downstairs

Just take me with you

Tara, a word?

Close the door behind you

Wait

- Adi... - I'm Vasu

- What was I saying? - You were saying goodbye

Teach Jaya some singing or the violin

Sure

And there's more hidden in the bathroom...

What's going on here?

It feels like blackmail

Vasu will bring the house down

- He's a control... - Control freak

You could've talked to Adi

I'm taking the liberty of asking you

Would you consider marrying Tara to Adi?

Would you consider it?

Look

It is not good

If you and Adi marry, I'd be very happy

Or else please leave him alone

Don't get me wrong

But does a marriage document make everything all right?

'It's late! Need 30 minutes to beat the traffic'

'Let's go!'

- A message from Dad - Tell him I'm coming down

Look!

These live-in relationships are disgusting

Completely unacceptable

Careful Mind your head

Goodbye, sir See you, ma'am

Please talk to Tara and her parents and let me know

An email should do

Your sister-in-law knows about us

I'm serious

Really?

How could she know?

She's nosy

I'm sure she doesn't know a thing

She said your brother would go nuts if he knew

You're pulling my leg

She said 'marry Adi or get out of his life'

An ultimatum and a peck on the cheek

And what did you say?

I'm going to Paris and Adi to the US

We don't want to commit to a marriage

You told her that?

Freedom!

Where are we going?

You said you'd follow me to the gates of hell?

- Is that where we're going? - Just follow me

I won't say a word

Is this a gynecology clinic?

Give me a minute, ma'am

What are we doing here?

A test?

For Bhavani aunty?

Go, man

Why does everyone look so bloated?

Hasn't it dawned on my genius as yet?

- Are they all pregnant? - Yes, my love

Our men really are jobless

Is it what I think it is?

How would I know what you're thinking?

The test isn't for Bhavani It's for you

- Are you...? - It's only a test

So, it could be?

May be

Don't look so horrified

- But what if it's that? - What?

What if the test turns out positive?

How should I know?

It feels like the world is collapsing

I thought we had the math all worked out

Tamilian?

Don't try to escape just with this

You should bring her every month

Don't make excuses like my husband

Is the scan done?

I'm waiting on a full bladder

Three more glasses of water Such a pain

But when you see that tiny finger in the scan, it'll all be worth it

Bye, madam

What happened?

See any tiny finger in the scan?

Look for yourself

They're just lines

Looks like a building plan

We're renovating the clinic

That's the blueprint for approval

I was just kidding Were you scared?

What kidding?

I was really scared

Might take 10 days to come out of it

- What is that? - Our game, boss

Who is that?

- The villain - It's you, boss

Do I look like a villain to you guys?

That's the Twins

A good twin and a bald twin

Careful, watch it

Pointing the gun to me?

Will hurl you out of the train

Don’t kill me Save me

Not turned in yet?

No

Too much joy drives sleep away

So does sorrow

I guess it's both for me

My admission to the Paris University is almost through

But it means leaving Adi, right?

It feels like I'm losing something special

Does he know?

What matters more to you? Your career or Adi?

Six months ago, I would've said it's my career

But now I've become greedy

I want both

What's the matter?

Why are you packing?

I'm only packing what's mine

What happened?

I'm leaving

Why?

- You devil! - I'm going out of town

I'll be back in two days

I imagined the worst

The worst?

That maybe you heard about the Dimples and the Sangeethas

Rubbish!

Where are you off to?

To Jaipur with Mr Doshi

I don't like that man

He's 87 years old

Then he should go with an assistant who is 86

Why take my sweetheart?

- This isn't forever, right? - So?

So, no demands on each other

Ok?

But don't go just now

Let me go

I want to snuggle up with my super smart angel

And she wants to run away with a 87 year-old

Let go of me

Get by with your Dimples and Sangeethas till I return

I don't like your Doshi

Or the assistant accompanying him

And I want everyone in Mumbai to know that

"Hey Sinamika"

"See thing Sinamika"

"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"

"Hey Sinamika"

"See thing Sinamika"

"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"In your downcast eyes"

"In the fall of your dress"

"And that mellifluous voice reserved only for me"

"In your downcast eyes"

"In the fall of your dress"

"And that mellifluous voice reserved only for me"

"In every curve and dip of your lips"

"I know it's love you have for me"

"Hey Sinamika"

"See thing Sinamika"

"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"

Honey, I'm home!

Where are you?

Not a single missed call

- Where's Adi? - Didn't he go with you?

No, he didn't

He hasn't come home in two days

He's out of town

Set the table The food is ready

I'll be back soon

Is Adi with you?

Where could he be?

Unable to reach him

I told him not to hang out at seedy places for his game

Has he got mixed up with the underworld?

Buddy, don't say that

Tara, I'll come with you

What's the matter?

He's been gone two days

I know

In a live-in relationship, one is not owed an explanation

We shouldn't tie each other down

Personal space is important

I'm sure he'll be back

But don't nag him like a wife when he returns

Okay?

- Where are you? - Step out, I'll tell you

Hurry I'm waiting

Where are you?

Forget the lift

It's too slow Take the stairs

What happened?

Where are you?

Walk straight ahead, past the glass doors

I'm going to kill you!

You can hang up now and join me

Where were you?

Won't you sit down?

Why choose such an expensive place?

So you won't make a scene

You left without a word

Not even a phone call

Was it too much effort leaving a note?

Buddy thinks you were with some underworld thugs

Your anni is on a tangent

Ganapathy uncle had no clue

Aunty insisted you were right there, eating dosa

Two whole days, I just couldn't function

I even went to the police

What was I to think?

That's vodka

Not another word!

Where did you go?

- You could never guess - Where?

Coimbatore

Why?

Was it my mother?

Who else?

She sent for me

But why did you have to go?

I refused

But she sent a private jet

I'm a middle-class guy who's never been in one

A compact six-seater

The air-hostess was from Assam Pinky, a tribal beauty

- The pick-up car was an Audi 8 - What did she want?

I got to see the factory, the race cars, the mansion etc

She said it all belongs to Tara

What else did she say?

What did Tara see in you?

So what did you see?

Did she threaten you?

Did she use the Commissioner's name and scare you?

She said I always keep an eye on Tara

She knows you were in Jaipur

So, what will you have? Pasta, pizza, antipasti?

We'll be back tomorrow

I am so livid, furious

- Just pretending to smile - Look at me

Tell me I can hear you

Why are we fighting like a married couple?

Very funny

The whole of Mumbai will know we're fighting

Stand close

Closer

Don't grin, fool

Look angry

Our first fight

I'm uploading it for the world to see

For 48 hours, leave me alone Don't try to reach me

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Don't tear us apart"

"Hey Sinamika"

"See thing Sinamika"

"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"

"Don't tear us apart"

Tara, I'm a die-hard atheist!

I'd promised to bring you here if you came back safe

Mr God would object too

Bad joke

Can't he take a joke?

Is he a grouch?

What happened?

Why are you sitting in the rain?

Not gone home?

What happened?

I can't remember the way

The way home?

- I can't remember the route - To our home?

Come, let's go home

"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"

"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"

What did the doctor say?

Listen to your husband and have your meds on time...

...you'll be just fine

Don't lie to me

There's a constant voice screaming in my head

I forget what I start to say

Can't remember places or people

All my music is drifting out the window

How can you say I'll be fine?

He asked you to stay strong

Don't treat me like an idiot

I'm losing my memory...

...not my mind

Alzheimer's

Second stage

Will I end up forgetting you one day?

Greetings to all of you

Greetings

I'm Chandrika, Tara's mother

We've come with a marriage proposal

Hello, bro

How are you?

Log onto 'makemytrip.com' right now

Select Mumbai to Chennai, find the cheapest fare...

...and take the first flight out

What's the matter?

After all I've done to get you where you are...

...you do this!

What's the problem?

A problem called Chandrika

Do you know who that is?

Chandrika Thodi is a raaga

Tara's mother

And who's Tara?

Chandrika's daughter

I'll slap you

Don't try these silly one-liners on me

You told me Tara is Ganapathy's niece

She's like a niece

When you exit the Chennai airport, there's a pharmacy outside

It's owned by a Sikh Buy me BP meds

4 tabs of Concor AM5 and get home

- But Tara is like a niece to Ganapathy... - He is growing old and senile...

...playing the fool along with you

Has Ganapathy become senile?

Vasu, you won't find a better match for your brother

Sorry, sir

I didn't realise you were there

I was just talking

It's the same senile Ganapathy talking to Vasu the fool

Vasu the fool

Go straight to a temple and pray...

...that Tara will marry your brother

That won't be necessary, sir

Her mother is here with the proposal

- Ma! - Stay calm

Why did you talk marriage?

Stay on the line

Hold on

Did I say I wanted to marry?

Why interfere in my life?

Get in

You move in with some guy and should I do nothing?

But you didn't stay out of it

You took him to Coimbatore, bullied and threatened him

Don't bring that up now

I didn't take any one

I did nothing of that sort

I know what you did

I told you, I did no such thing

Didn't you?

That's not the issue now

I had a friend check on Adi when I heard about him

Who's this friend?

The Police Commissioner?

You have your own daughter, you'll know

Was it the Commissioner?

Tara, we've to get down

I just wanted to check on Adi's background

You said you went to Coimbatore? The private jet, the Audi?

I saw it all on Skype

He seems ok

Middle-class family but that's no problem

- Where were you those two days? - How does it matter?

Where were you?

In custody

In a police lock-up?

Did you put Adi in police custody?

- I didn't mean any harm - Answer my question

When I realised you'd chosen well, I met his folks...

...and discussed your marriage That's all

I was picked up on Friday No bail till Monday

I was taken to Arthur Road jail for the weekend

You were in jail?

I had many bigwigs for company

Ma, I'm hanging up now

And on Monday, the Commissioner took me home for breakfast

Yummy aloo paratha with curd and pickle

He became my friend

He promised I'd have no issues with my US visa

Why didn't you tell me my mother did this?

Don't you worry

I got some great inputs in jail for my game

Want to see a demo?

Let's go to my office

No one is here?

No idea

They should be

Come, my boy

The project's been approved by the US firm

I feel awful that you're going away

How will Tara cope?

- My biggest mistake... - What?

Tara

Shall I turn down the US assignment?

Get lost

Can't get myself to leave her

Shall I tell Tara?

Ask him once and he'll be yours for good

Stop the car

- Please stop here - What's wrong?

How much?

70 rupees, sir

Why are you upset?

I'm upset that I can't be like you

You're leaving me in a few days

But you aren't upset at all

You're dancing away happily

Grinding and jiving

Why do I feel like I'm going to a funeral?

Shall I come to the same funeral?

Have you ever thought...

...what if you forget about Paris and stayed right here?

Every minute

I wasn't at all happy that the admission came through

That's why I didn't tell you

Come with me to the US

Can you come with me to Paris?

That's difficult

It's hard for me too

The past six months have been the best in my life yet

Thanks to you

Let's not spoil it

Let's make a pact

What?

- We only have a few days together - Just 10 days

We could cry, fight, argue and be bitter in these 10 days

Or forget the future and live every moment

No fighting for the next 10 days

Whatever it happen

No tears, no sentimental scenes, no melancholy

No one sleeps a wink

We stay awake the whole time

Paint the town red! Do wild things Stay happy

Imagine this is our home

Every room will be a bedroom

A nice big dog

His bark should make you tremble

Children?

Just for a day

We'll adopt a child

We'll call him Obelix

He'll look like a little Sumo wrestler in diapers

And if it's a girl?

The-most-beautiful-one-in-three-worlds

Like you

- What will you do in the US? - I'll go to strip clubs

Rubbish!

- Ask me what I'd be doing - What?

I'd probably be wondering what you're up to...

...and wasting my time

Hear that?

Time is running out

Don't think about it

Only eight days left

Say don't cry Tara

Say it

Don't cry, darling

Ok

I won't

I'm very sleepy

Might blurt something out

Blurt out something nice

No

We've made a pact not to get sentimental

Let's forget that for a moment

Say something, straight from the heart

Ok

Piping hot omelettes would be great now, wouldn't they?

Yummy!

Can you take that chain off?

Remove it quickly

Didn't think you were the gift giving kind

An oversight

Forgive me, darling

You're wiping the slate clean before the final goodbye

Is that it?

Why a gift now, after all these months?

If you don't like it, let's return it

Why fight in front of these pigeons?

A 'goodbye and thank you' message tied neatly in a ribbon

Tara is not angry with me

She won't pick a fight

You're putting an end to the Tara Kalingarayar chapter

She won't snap at me

She'll stay a sweet angel

I'm saying it like it is

You're the one discarding me with a smile

How does it look?

A gift from my man

Isn't it pretty?

I thought we had a pact

I'm not crying

Is that joy streaming down your eyes?

What is it for now?

Look ahead and drive

Don't look at me

Don’t care about my crying

I can still hear you cry

Why are you picking on me? Anything I do bothers you

- That's not what I meant - Sure, you did

Fine, I won't say a word

Ganapathy uncle is making dinner for us

- He asked us to come straight home - Yes, he told me

Don't pick on me at dinner

When did I do that?

I said don't pick on me I didn't say you did

- Why are you picking a fight? - Fine, I won't say a word

I'll checke at downstairs

I'll come with you

Did you see Ganapathy uncle?

Aunty is missing

She must have wandered off

Ganapathyji has gone to look for her

Stop

Slow down

That's not her

- Try calling Ganapathy uncle - His phone was charging at home

We did the mistake

We should've convinced uncle to admit aunty into a hospital

Aunty said no more hospitals

Of course she'd say that

You think uncle would listen to you over aunty's wishes?

She forgets who uncle is at times

How can we take her seriously?

Stay in the car

Handle if police come here

I'll be back

Where has she gone now!

One minute, sir

My wife

Clear the place

It's an emergency

My wife's missing

How can you educated people do like this?

Take the vehicle

Make it fast

Go...go

You need to open it from the inside

- Where did you go? - I was checking the market

- I told you to stay in the car - Can't I look for her too?

What if she was in the market?

Couldn't you wait two minutes?

The cop was yelling at me

You can't handle a cop and you take it out on me

Turn left

- I said left - That's a one way lane

- Then go around - That's what I'm doing, for God's sake!

Why are you snapping at me?

You're leaving anyway

Snap all you want then, but not at me

Thank God for small mercies, I'm leaving

You stupid! Are you blind?

Bring it on!

Just what I need now

Why would you jump out of a moving car?

Someone there looked like Ganapathy uncle

Get in

Shut the door

Don't slam it!

Why are you so mad at me? I am just as worried as you

You jumped out of a moving car recklessly

Do you expect me to cuddle you?

- What if a bus had knocked you over? - But it didn't

What if it had?

Let me get down

- I'll look on my own - And who'll go looking for you?

You're upset I might have got hurt Is that it?

And what happens to your Paris?

If you worry about me, say it

Why shout at me?

Who is shouting?

- Why are you going back home? - To check if she's back

- Is Bhavani aunty back? - Not yet

Stop crying

On bad days, Bhavani aunty forgets who she is

What if she forgets the way home?

Where can we find her?

- Crying won't help us find her - And not crying will?

Leave me alone

But look for her while you're crying

Ok?

Ok

Poor Ganapathy uncle

No one could care for another like he does

That's not true

Do you think he was careless? And that's why aunty is missing?

No

I'm saying there are others like him

Are you speaking for yourself?

Not particularly

Could you be like Ganapathy uncle?

Yes

When I'm old and if I became like Bhavani aunty?

I would care for you

You would?

What are you saying?

I'm saying don't leave me

I'm saying marry me

Go wherever you need to

Paris or London

But marry me and go

Will you?

Look!

- Where is Ganapathy? - He's fine

- Where is Ganapathy? - At home

Come

Ganapathy, where did you go?

I was so worried and scared

I looked everywhere for you

It won't happen again

You said quite a few things in the car

I meant every word

Really?

Truly

You want to marry me?

You don't have to give up your plans

Or Paris

But marry me and go

I'll come to you wherever you are

Are you sure?

Absolutely!

So, marriage it is?

Yes, marriage

Ok, kanmani!
