Dad.

-Dad. -Dad.

Get up, dad.

Come out dad!

Look dad, he is fighting with me.

It was better than my usual dream, but they spoiled it.

Open the door, dad.

Look at him, dad.

He always uses my phone to play cricket games.

Why, man?

Already the phone is in bad shape.

-You snitch! -Watch your tongue.

You must not use such words on your sister.

Dad...

Will you buy me a new phone?

A cricket kit for me, dad.

'A park for children inside your own plot,'

'a CBSE school nearby,'

'It's not easy to build a new house.'

'You need to find the right place for it.'

Dear, come here.

Hurry.

-What is it? -Did you see that?

'New Chennai bus stand on this side. Railway station on this side.'

'Your plot in the center.'

Jumbo offer, it seems. Bus stand on one side, railway station on the other.

And our plot in the center.

We have to pay just 10,000 rupees every month.

In 36 months, the land will be handed over to us.

After that, we can apply for a loan and build a house on it.

We can settle that EMI in 15 years, can't we?

-15 years? -Why are you rattled now?

My relatives keep asking me if I have not bought a own house yet.

They will ask.

I don't care what you do; we must buy our own house this year.

We must!

How do I make her understand?

Anbu,...

Stir that dal well.

Yeah sure.

My point is...

I wish to live in a place where birds build their nests.

But you desire a house the size of a bird's nest.

I have stirred it, dear.

Look, don’t think you can make me a slave in your village farm

I cannot do it.

This is the right place for us, and for the kids education too.

Stop bringing up your village again.

This Sunday, pay the Rs.10,000 and book that plot.

Rs.10,000?

Hey!

That jumbo offer is a limited time deal.

What are you looking at? Get ready for office.

'She behaves more like a promoter than a buyer.'

Hello and welcome to Middle Class!

Bills and bills one after the other.

Our pulse lies in our problems!

Listen to me boss!

We are all Middle Class!

We are friends with the mosquitoes;

and sacrifice our sleep a few days.

To the rhythm of the sound of the fan,

we churn out new tunes!

Still we will say, this is the best life!

We are the kings in our palatial dreams!

We have a heart to smile with whatever we have,

We are a clear chaos!

I've told you not to touch the milk powder, but you keep eating it!

I've bought this for contingencies, but you are eating it now!

Both of you leave!

Our gang races against life everyday!

by overcoming the monotony,

Whether our team sees success or not,

Malar! Here is fish curry, for the both of you!

-There's mutton gravy in our place tomorrow -Okay!

The challenges of the middle class go higher than the sky!

This suits well for your complexion. Monthly 100 rupees only.

Stitch it well.

She started a saree business,

and she couldn't sell anything, so she's wearing all of it herself!

Just like I am enlisting you, you have to enlist just 10 more people.

You will earn 20,000 every month.

This is unlike the other insurance companies.

If you ever die in an accident, they'll pay the money before you are buried.

You should roll it gently in every direction, or else it will stick to the pin

I'm telling you that I don't know!

Why can't you just let me go, instead of torturing me like this?

Mom, your turn is over.

-This is mine. -Why would you say, yours and mine?

When buying you said its ours!

You can save a thousand rupees if you stop buying all these!

What!

This is the only happiness homemakers have, why do you want to ruin that?

As usual, we will pick a chit from the lot.

Whoever's name is on the chit will get all the money.

Alright?

What happened Malar?

No, it didn't get confirmed this time as well!

-Here's your salary for this month! -Sir! Thank you sir!

Okay enjoy!

-New to the job? -Yes, sir.

Anyway, I am Sengutuvan.

I am Marx, have you got your salary?

Do you think I'm going to run away?

You gave me Rs.100 and asked it 100 times.

You made me ask a 100 times; pay me now.

That day you recharged my phone for 100 rupees, remember?

Here is the 100 rupees, I didn't give you.

It's alright, brother.

-Really? You don't want it? -Yes, you can have it.

Have some holy ash from Kuberan temple.

Take it, you will be prosperous.

I gave it to you, and you are putting it on your auto?

This is my God!

Ask that spot for a lower price.

What happened to your shop?

Don't even ask.

He is showing me some good spots,

But it is not coming within my budget!

It is twice my asking rate!

Oh no!

I thought I shall feed these Madras boys who haven't eaten well.

No! We are all eating good food here.

Whom shall I call now?

(Singing old Tamil song)

Tell me, buddy.

-Hello, buddy. -Hello, buddy.

How are you doing?

I am doing fine. How are you?

I must remained a bachelor like you.

Being a family man annoys me.

Do you think I will remain a bachelor forever?

Don't worry buddy, I will get you married soon.

-Alright, why did you call me? -Coming to the point.

How much is an acre selling now?

10 lakhs. Why do you ask?

10 lakhs?

When you first asked me, an acre was selling for 10 thousand.

And now, it is 10 lakhs.

So, think about the number of times you have asked me.

Maara, I still have hope.

I will buy a land in three years.

-Dear. -What is it, uncle?

-Get me some water. -Okay, uncle.

What did you say?

So, I heard that the big moustache man sold his mill.

-I saw it in Facebook. -Yes, they sold it.

So...

How is Punitha?

Punitha is fine, as usual.

Then...

I heard she gave birth to another child.

You must have married Punitha.

You followed her for 10 years without expressing love, only to lose her.

No use regretting now. Seems like fate had other plans.

Man...

you seem to know the happenings of our village more than us.

Oh, yes indeed.

I am part of all the Facebook pages and Whatsapp group of our village.

Those people post the news without any delay.

The fact is, I hop between many places for work,

but my heart is still at our village, Maara.

-There is one important thing. -What is it?

Our village is going to get higher secondary education.

They have built the building too.

The building is going to be named after your father.

'In memory of Sivapuniyam'

Why? Because it was built on a land donated by your father.

Also, the president asked you to come.

Why are you laughing sarcastically?

What else you want me to do?

I am struggling everyday to pay school fees for my kids.

And you people are opening a school in my dad's name.

Many people are leading a good life because of your dad.

You failed to understand your father's worth.

Okay, let's say that did not take my dad's advice...

hold on, Sathya is on the line.

-Okay, I will call you later. -Okay.

Okay.

Sathya, I want to ask you something.

How much is an acre selling now in our village?

-I guess, he is here? -He has come?

-He's come? -Come!

-How are you, sister? -Welcome, how are you?

-How are you sister? -Welcome, brother!

-How are you brother-in-law? -How are you?

I am doing fine, uncle.

Uncle, you must come 10 days before the wedding.

Sister...

do not buy any new clothes.

We can buy dress for your whole family in the hometown itself.

[S.Karl Marx - K.Anburani, Chennai]

Look, they have mentioned it correctly.

You must study well and should not cause any trouble.

What is it?

-Come often, uncle. -Sure.

Uncle, the night before the marriage... party…

Sure, I will be there.

What are you saying?

Has it been lit?

Give that ink filler.

The more water you pour, the more faster it will go.

Saw that?

Dear, what are you thinking about?

-Chitra called. -Okay.

-About my brother's marriage. -So?

Your brother is getting married after all these years.

Instead of being happy, why are you looking sad?

I am happy that he's getting married; what about the wedding gift?

-That worries me. -Oh, about that?

-Steer the boat to... -What will you gift your brother-in-law?

We gifted 10,000 rupees to your uncle's son.

Let's make it a 20,000 and gift it to your brother.

Are you kidding?

Know how much my sister is gifting? 5 Sovereigns of gold.

We must at least do half of that.

-Shall we gift 3 sovereigns? -What?

Son, the boat is speeding fast. It may topple.

I am discussing an important topic with you.

Be quiet for sometime.

I can't go to the wedding with this bare neck.

Retrieve one of the jewel we have pawned.

Let's say that it costs 25,000 rupees.

Let's say the travel and other expenses cost 10,000.

Totally, we might need 2 lakh rupees.

When will you get it?

Look dear, with all my strength, I can manage only 30,000 rupees.

-Don't expect me to dance to your tunes. -Will your dad get the remaining?

His name is Sivapuniyam, but he is no puniyam(blessing) to us.

Why are you taking his name now? Why drag a dead man into this?

I am already mad at that guy.

Alright, when will you get the money I asked for?

Wait up. We have two more months for the marriage.

Be patient and stay calm.

I will do the best that I can do.

Dad, the boat has sank.

It would have not sank if you had steered it patiently.

Things will only topple if you drive like crazy.

Three soverigns....

Hi Swati, did you call me?

Did you see my Whatsapp status?

No, let me check.

Wow, you have reached one lakh subscribers?

Yes, but that is not the thing.

Youtube credited us 50,000 rupees this morning.

What? 50,000?

Oh God.

She has sowed the seed for her next business venture.

-50,000, you said? -Yes, mom.

-Give me that gravy. -Be quiet.

Really? How did they get 50,000?

-Oh no! -Really, mom.

Forget this channel idea, it will cost a lot.

Your mom is doing many businesses already.

Stop pointing at me.

Dad, it won't cost a thing.

-It is absolutely free. -Free?

If so, we can open a channel.

Take out all your old stuffs.

Pick it up dad. You, hold on.

-Wait! -Dad, you pick it!

-Show that to me. -Wait up.

-Show that to me, dad. -Who wrote this brilliant idea?

-'Middle class'. -It was me.

-You? -That's superb.

How did you get the idea?

You used to bemoan that 'we are middle class; we can't buy expensive things'.

I got the name from that.

-Oh, you are my golden boy. -Excellent.

Greetings to all the Middle Class viewers.

Now, we are going to turn this unclean water into drinking water.

It is searching and searching!

Youtube is selling it, so hurry!

Hey you!

We are doing this ritual for the welfare of the husband.

Hold on a second, dear.

-I did not record the video. -You moron, can't you even do it?

I shouldn't have given it to you. Can you do it?

Here you go.

This is fish food.

This is jeera candy.

Have you shared it?

Brother...

Share? Yes, I have done it.

That's my brother.

I am getting many calls.

They praise our videos, and ask 'what's next?'

I too have started a Youtube channel.

Overnight he has become a millionaire!

Paperman and milkman all merrily greet him now!

He labels me boomer if I watch the TV!

Why are the views going down?

We must do something.

We will make an awesome thumbnail.

Likes are coming.!

We are going to hand grind the chicken and make rasam.

We must grind it to paste.

Keep spinning tales to confuse everyone!

Super!

Big or small, take the leap and you won't fail

Try it and let us know.

Hi guys, we are going to perform a magic trick to this aunty.

Do you see a coin at the bottom of the bottle?

"Welcome. So how much does the sky cost? How much for life?"

"Reserve it in our name"

This is called as wall glue!

It will stick on the wall.

-How is it? -Superb, dad.

We have started a Youtube channel. Gives us your valuable predictions.

This channel will not prosper.

We posted more than 20 videos.

We have received only 499 subscribers.

50 of the subscribers are my friends. Be quiet now.

Mom, let us take our time to develop our Youtube channel.

That's too bad.

I thought of making money from this for my brother's marriage.

Marx, it is a tough task for men like us to pray to God.

Was the market crowded?

Yes, it was heavily crowded, go fast.

Enjoying your holiday, is it?

I have bought everything.

Why did you buy all these things now?

It will be crowded in the evening, that is why I bought them now.

-Did I wake you up to buy these things? -Then?

I woke you up early to clean the house

But you do everything except that.

What do you mean?

Thought you woke me up with love, but it was to clean rat droppings?

Go, get the knife and blades from that loft.

Be careful with them.

Yes, I will be careful.

It's been many Ayutha Poojais since we cleaned it, I guess.

Father’s trunk box.

Let me get this out first.

Dear...

What are you doing?

I found my dad's old box and photo in the loft.

Throw this garbage out.

This photo and box are no use to us.

His name is Sivapuniyam, but he is no puniyam(blessing) to us.

Damn, this cold! Do whatever, but get the house cleaned up soon.

She talks like her parents gifted her 500 sovereigns for marriage.

Some letter.

Wow, lot of stuffs.

Kumara, stop fiddling with them and be quiet.

-Wow! There are lot of coins in here. -Respected Mr. Sivapuniyam sir!

Dad, what is this?

-Anbu. -What is it?

Do you know the transport minister, Othanadu Dhanapal?

He has written a letter to my dad long back.

That guy who did that 100 crore scam?

-Throw it out and focus on work. -I'm going to take these coins...

I shouldn't have told her.

Give me that watch. You cannot have it.

Take this money. They are all coins.

-They are all defunct coins. -I want everything.

They won't give you candy for those coins.

In the year 1970 at Chindaripet in Madras ,

I started a small electronics shop in my mom's name.

Make way.

-Sir. -Who is it?

Come in.

Tell me, what do you want?

Sir, my name is Ramlal.

I am from Rajasthan. I am looking for a job for many days.

But I couldn't find one.

And sir, I can speak Tamil well.

I will be thankful if you can help me, sir.

Is it? Okay, Come in.

I took Ramlal as my assistant.

As days passed, we became good friends.

-Aram (Virtue). -Aram.

At that time, I was drawn towards Communist ideologies.

I realized that I cannot be a good employer.

So, I made a decision.

Ramlal.

Tell me, boss.

There are a lot of issues in my village.

But there is none to voice out the issues on behalf of the villagers.

So, I am obliged to go back to my village.

You can have this shop.

Boss, I cannot afford to buy this shop.

I don't have such money.

Did I ask you for money?

But I cannot take it for free.

Ramlal, I don't want to sell years of my hard work for money.

I want to leave it in the hands of a genuine and loyal youngster like you.

I have surplus amount of assets in my hometown.

You can have this.

Boss, I have an idea.

If you agree to it, I will have this shop.

What is it?

-Boss, your pen. -You can have it.

-Anbu, come here. -What is it?

Look.

Someone has given a loan document to my dad in 1970.

-Who is it? -It says Ramlal.

Documents by siblings are not honoured these days.

Do you think this old document signed by someone will be of value?

-Focus on work. -Not everyone is like your siblings.

You have a point too.

When will you get the school fees from Latha mam?

I will do it tomorrow.

-How are you madam? -I am fine.

How is your health?

-Are you taking medications regularly? -I am alright.

-I am seeing the doctor regularly. -Great.

-Garden, is it? -Yes.

So, how are your wife and kids?

Where do I start?

She keeps pestering me for things.

The sand is good.

You cannot blame on her, Marx; the world has changed.

You are right.

You used to call us before, but now, you don't even call us.

I met you in the office only twice.

But I understood your character in those two days.

I am helping you only for your good character.

I don't want you to do these chores in exchange for that.

Oh, I don't take it that way.

Here.

-It has 50,000 rupees. -Okay, mam.

Pay fees for your kids.

Thanks a lot, madam. See you.

-Okay. -Take care of your health.

Wow, a bat.

Kiss your dad.

Here, be careful with it.

Thank you, dad.

Remove the plastic and drop it in the bin.

-Malar. -Yes, brother.

-Where is Selvam? -On the way.

Okay. Dear, come here.

What is it, dad?

-Take a look at it. -I will see it later, dad.

-I will see it later dad! -Just see what I've got for you.

Dad!

Sleeveless t-shirt?

Yes!

-How is it? -It is very good, dad!

I bought it for your birthday, dear!

I will stitch the sleeves,you can wear it on your birthday, now keep it inside.

She has a point too.

Don't get mad, sweetie.

Getting riled up easily; just like her mom.

Seems like you have a lot of money.

Where do I have that much of money?

Madam gave me money and I paid the school fees with it.

I had 4000 rupees remaining,

so, I bought a bat for him, and a shirt for her.

Anyways, she gave the money for them.

She is going to squash him today. Let's get out of here.

Anbu, even adult clothes are cheap,

but children clothes are damn expensive.

Did I ask you to bring the money or pay the fees?

Anyways, we are going to pay the fees,

so, I paid it on the way.

Why waste time going to pay fees again?

So, what are we having for dinner?

You always care about food.

Why are you shouting? I just asked a question.

You spent it hastily, so I don't use it for my brother's marriage, right?

Nothing like that, Anbu. Take that lungi, dear.

Don't make things up.

We have two more months to pay the fees, don't you know?

I know your plan.

You want me to stand penniless and embarrassed before my relatives,

and you want to enjoy that sight, right?

Look, madam gave it for our kids education.

We cannot use the money for our own issues.

Cannot use it?

Who are you? Gandhi or Buddha?

Can't you make use of an opportunity?

Are you even a man? Listen to me carefully.

My elder sister is second to me in everything,

in looks, education, she doesn't even know to cook a basic rasam.

But today, she lives like a queen.

Why? Because she got a good husband.

Listen to me.

Her husband earns one lakh every month,

and she covers herself with jewels from head to toe.

She will come to my brother's wedding, and gift him 5 sovereigns.

But I will go empty handed.

You'll come wherever without any shame.

Why are you taking that now?

Be patient. We will arrange something.

How will you arrange it? Tell me now.

-Close the door, sweetie. -I'll kill you if you touch the door.

Look, I cannot steal money.

I can do things only to my capacity.

You know that you can't steal, right?

Then why have family and kids?

Are you saying that people with lower incomes should not marry and have kids?

They can, they can.

But for that, they must marry a lowly woman.

Why did you marry me?

It is incompetent men like you who push women to seek another man.

-Move. -Dad?

Dad...

What are you doing, dad? Don't leave us.

How dare she speak to me that way?

-Dad, dad... -Let him go.

Let him get mad all he want.

Mom, tell him to stop. Dad.

Am I not sending you 5000 rupees every month?

Then, why are you calling and pestering me?

I thought you will be home, dear; that is why I called.

I am at home, so what?

I am in work from home.

Do not call me during work.

I will call you once I am free. Understood?

-Okay dear. -Hang up.

You saw that, Marx?

You must always keep your wife in control.

She didn't even ask 'how come a security have work from home?'

You lack that skill.

We must keep everything in our control.

If they don't obey us,

we must give them few blows without hesitation.

When did I call this water can guy, and when is he coming?

Why did it take you so long to bring this lousy water?

Didn't I..?

Good grief.

Welcome, come in, come.

We were just speaking about you. Marx, look who has come.

Don't you have any sense?

He has a wife, kids and a home.

That idiot left everything and came here.

Instead of advising him and sending him back,

you gave him space to sleep with you, is it?

-Am I his wife or you? -It's me.

-What? -I mean, I advised him.

-Marx, didn't I tell you? -To hell with your advice.

We were just talking.

-Come, let's go home. -You must obey your wife's words.

I will arrange the money and come.

We can arrange the money from home.

Spend the Sunday with us, come.

Listen. I will come only after arranging the money.

Can't you hear me? If you stay here, you will die of diseases.

Die of diseases?

Yuck! This place looks disgusting.

I told you to come.

Listen, after entering the house, if you start the fight again,

I will go back the way I came.

What?

-Pull that stand. -Thought so.

-Here, Malar. -Okay, sister.

Such drama!

-Jaya. -Mom.

Tell him to eat before going anywhere.

I have made his favourite urundai kulambu.

I am not hungry; I'll eat somewhere out.

Eat outside? Shut the door.

Don't shut the door.

You are doing too much.

-Let me out; I will eat outside. -Go in, I want to talk.

Go in.

Why is she looking that way?

The kids are outside.

Yeah, they are outside.

That’s why I have turned up the TV volume; they won't hear anything.

I am a loudmouth; I have a tendency to talk insolently.

Will you eat outside for that?

Will you eat out for everything?

No, I won't.

I don't get aroused even on normal days.

But when we are in a dispute...

-I get aroused a lot. -Me too.

-Mom, the power is down. -Power cut?

-There will be no T.V sound now. -We can't be worried about that now.

Is it fine? Alright then.

I have started, when will you come?

Give me a second.

Support. For me?

What is it today? Fulfillment.

Dear God.

Luck.

Luck?

Lord Kandha...

You were asked to get food, why are you late?

Go get it quickly.

-Tell me. -Greetings.

What is your shop owner's name?

What do you care?

-Please tell me. -Ramlal.

It is here.

Is he still alive?

The Sait has passed 80 years and is is still going strong.

He owns 10 shops like this one; he employes 300 people.

-Don't mistake me. -Watch what you speak.

Okay, okay. I want to meet him.

You cannot meet him.

Why do these people park their bikes this way?

How many times should I tell them?

Push it, a little more. Enough.

No one one will park it here now.

Alright, what do you want now?

I want to meet your owner.

If you excuse me, I will meet him.

Do one thing.

He will come for rounds at 12 p.m,

and will go home at 1 p.m.

If you can, meet him during that time gap.

Hey, you.

That is him; hurry.

Come, it is him.

Haven't you booked the tickets?

No, sir.

You never do any work.

-Where is Ramesh? -He seems to be angry.

What will I do now?

How much does it cost?

Sir...

Is your owner short tempered?

-Yes, he will shoot you. -Shoot?

Is he that short tempered?

-Did you meet him? -He told me to wait here.

-What did he say? -He said...

They are saying that he is very short tempered.

You go, I will come later.

Err...

-Raju, give me a paan. -Greetings, sir.

-How are you? -Doing good, sir.

Okay.

-Here, take the 10 rupees. -It is 15 rupees.

It is worth only 10 rupees.

He is playing miser for just 5 rupees.

Will he give me my money?

Sir...

5 O’clock flight, is it?

I will be in Bombay by evening.

You are leaving to Bombay?

Sait, sir.

Who are you?

-Are you a thief? -No, sir.

Why are you following me? Shall I call the police?

I am the son of your boss, Puniyasivam.

What did you say?

Sorry, I meant Sivapuniyam's son.

-Are you my boss's son? -Yes, sir.

How is the boss doing?

It's been 15 years since he died.

You will never find a good soul like your dad in this world.

He is a gem of a person. He is the most noblest boss.

-So, how are you doing? -I am doing...

Here, sir.

I preserved it well to give it to you.

-What are you looking at? -Nothing, sir.

What do you do for a living?

I work as an office assistant.

I earn 16,000 a month.

Okay, have it.

Again?

Here, have this too.

-I am going to Bombay. -Okay.

I will be back in 10 days.

Call me after 10 days and come to this same spot.

-This spot? -Yes.

Come to this same spot and I will give you a cheque for 1 crore rupees.

I said, I will give you a cheque for 1 crore rupees.

Call me before coming here. Leave now.

Thanks, sir. 1 crore?

Anbu... 1 crore it is.

-One crore? -Yes.

Really? Is it true?

God! I cannot believe it.

My heart is thumping.

-What do we do now? -What do we do?

My hands started to shiver when I heard it, and it has not stopped yet.

Just 10 more days.

We are crorepathis!

Mom! Our neighbour took 100 rupees loan from you it seems.

-She returned it. -Is it?

Yikes! No, no. Ask her to have it.

-Mom, really? -Girl...

we are millionaires.

What do you mean? Will I get an Iphone?

-We can buy 10 of those. -What about my cricket kit?

Not only a cricket kit,

I will get you a hockey kit, a tennis kit, and whatnot.

Awesome!

Sister has added ghee to the milk kova and prepared it well.

Yes, the aroma is enticing.

Yes.

Selvam, Malar, ghee sweet is it?

Do you eat these sweets everyday?

It is not from our house; it is from your house.

My house?

The ghee smell is coming till here.

Your dad is here.

Dear...

How is it?

Who may you be?

-Are you Anburani's younger sister? -Oh my!

You always make fun of me. Come in.

-Sit down. -Okay.

-Are you sweating, my dear? -Do you see it only now?

-What is this? -Rose milk. I prepared it.

Is it good?

Yes, it is good.

-What happened? -Enough for me.

Have you bought a sweet shop?

Are you surprised? We have bigger surprises for you.

Kumara...

Not there, here.

-Looks like my father. -Yes, it's my father-in-law.

My father-in-law's photo. How is it?

Throw this garbage out. It is eating up the space.

-What are you thinking about? -I can still hear it.

I am not sure if you will get National award or Oscar award for your acting.

Oh, stop kidding. I have also told the kids,

that they must not pray to the Gods before leaving to school.

-They must only pray to father-in-law. -Father-in-law?

Yes. He is our God, isn't he?

I am afraid that this may not end well.

It will surely end well. Here, eat this up.

-We need to talk. -Weren't you talking until now?

What is this?

For my brother's marriage,

I have made a list for it. Let me read it for you.

List?

My sister is gifting 5 sovereigns, but we are going to gift 6 sovereigns.

And then, we must retrieve the jewels that we have pawned.

It will totally cost around 4 lakhs.

I asked car from our doctor friend. He said that it needs repairs worth 15,000.

Adding with the repair cost,

we have the diesel and other expenses, which will cost around 25,000.

-We can cover everything with 4.25 lakhs -4.25 lakhs?

But, these were not part of our old list.

We made that list when we had nothing.

-Now, we are affluent. -We still have few more days left.

Why are you hesitating? Anyways, my brother will gift them back to my kids.

We still have 10 more days to get the money.

Why spend lavishly before that?

You don't have to worry about that.

But, 4.25 lakhs rupees is...

I am not sure to believe it or not, Maara.

Is it?

Do you have any proof of transaction?

Yes.

I have the document he gave to my dad.

I get it now.

The fact of the matter is...

he is afraid that you will take it up legally.

He wants to get the document from you by hook or crook.

If not for that, in these 10 days,

he will create a new document stating that you have been paid.

That's why he asked you to come after 10 days.

Man, do you think someone will give 1 crore just like that?

If so, he would have paid you already.

-Will you give it? -What? What did you say?

Stop thinking about it and do something useful.

Okay, I will call you later.

Will you give it? He did confuse me.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

-Dear God. -Anbu?

Were did you get this money?

I got it for interest this morning.

For interest?

I got it from Vatti(interest) Sekar.

He didn't ask for a signature or even a guarantee.

Just like that, he gave the money I asked for.

Do you mean that heavy interest Sekar?

He is a ruthless loan shark.

None of his clients live peacefully; their lives were ruined.

-He is the only one who pays instantly. -So?

Anyways, we will return it in 10 or 15 days. Stop complaining about everything.

Have some sweet.

Dear, dear...

What is it?

Wake up.

The Sait asked you to call and meet him today, didn't he?

-Yes. -You have to get the cheque.

Wake up.

-Let me sleep for some more time. -I said, get up.

Err... Sait sir?

This is Karl Marx speaking, when shall I come?

Who is it?

Karl Marx, sir.

-Wrong number. Hang up the call. -Sir, sir...

-Oh God. -Wrong number?

-Wrong number? -What does he mean?

Dad, will I not get my cricket kit?

-Oh, come on. -My Iphone?

Oh, give me a break.

Why is he talking like this?

Did he eat too much paan and become cranky?

Let me try again.

"Protect me, the holy spear of Lord Muruga"

"Watch over me". Please attend, sir...

or she will kill me.

-Hello, -Sait sir.

This is Sivapuniyam's son speaking.

-Puniyam. -Oh, the boss's son?

-Yes, sir. -Why didn't you tell that?

-How will I know your name? -Sorry, sir.

So, when should I come to collect the cheque?

-Take this. -Sir?

What are you looking at?

My family will kill me if they know that I eat supari.

That's why I called you here.

The doctor has advised me not to eat supari.

Open it and see.

Are you happy?

For what your dad did for me, I must give you plenty more.

But my son controls all my money now.

He won’t let me give even a paisa.

That is why I am giving it to you in secret.

Sir, you have not mentioned my name.

I still don't get your name, son.

This is the pen your dad gave me.

Write it with this pen.

Sir...

Do not fall at my feet.

This is not my gift; this is your father's money.

Thanks a lot, sir.

Tell me, buddy.

You told about the village president's land that is coming for sale, right?

Finalize it.

Stop fooling around. It is not funny.

Hey!

I am a crorepathi now.

Just do as I said. Finalize it.

My wife is on the second line, you finalize the land.

Okay, I will do it.

Tell me, dear.

-Dear, did the Sait give it? -Yes, I have it.

Thank God! Lord Muruga!

Superb. So, they have introduced an offer near Poonamalle area.

If we book the land today, we can save a lot.

Come, let's go there now.

Look, I just spoke to Maaran to buy a land in our hometown.

Now that you have money, do not change our plans, or I'll kill you.

-First, we buy a plot in Chennai... -Didn't you hear me?

Look, I can't dance to your tunes.

You will dance to your tunes, is it?

Yes. What else do you...

Anbu, I am standing in the middle of the street.

I only have the cheque.

First, let us get the money.

We can decide on buying a plot or a land later.

-Malar, come I'll tell you something. -What is it?

Rajendra...

-Rajendra... -Lift him up.

Lift him up!

Lift him up.

-What happened? -It's an accident.

-Call the doctor. -What happened?

Take him to the emergency. Come.

-You wait here. -You'll be alright.

Sir, Rajendran met with an accident.

I have admitted him in a hospital.

God! How is he now?

Nothing serious, sir.

Is it? Okay.

Marx, I actually sent him to do DTP on an important document.

-Check if he has his bag. -It is with me, sir.

Do one thing. There is a pen drive in that bag,

do a DTP on the content, and bring it to our office as soon as possible.

We have only one hour left.

We must submit the tender before that,

Or else we will lose the order.

Sir...

-The corrected file. -Okay, give it at the reception,

-and ask her to mail it. -The manager gave it.

-It's urgent, mail it immediately. -I will.

I will be back soon.

Oh dear, the time is 5 p.m.

I cannot go now.

What shall I do now? Who is it?

Her?

Dear, have you deposited the cheque?

Oh, that? Yeah, yeah, I have deposited it.

Okay, come home.

Marx, is that you?

-Can you come in for a moment? -Yeah, sure.

-Seems like you had food from the mess. -Yes, I had it.

-What else is the issue? -The T.V is not working properly.

Fix it for me, will you?

Sure. The remote seems to be working fine.

Yeah.

It is working good for now.

-I will bring the mechanic soon. -Okay, bring him.

Dear God!

I must call Maaran as soon as I deposit it.

Oh oh, I forgot to write my name on it.

Where is it?

Where is it?

I kept it here.

What happened, sir?

I had a cheque in here.

Search patiently, sir.

Did I leave it at home? Oh, no.

It must be at home.

How careless of me.

Where is it?

It's not there.

Hello sister!

-Lord Muruga!. -I came to collect debts nearby.

I was not sure, if you said 12 or 13 days

That is why I came here.

-So, will you come to my house?

Can't you give me a call?

What will my neighbours think of me? Alright, get the money tomorrow.

What is it, dear? You didn't go to office?

-What happened? -I left an important file, that's it.

-You are always careless. Go ahead. -Who are they?

-Vatti Sekar's men. -Okay.

When I got the money from you, I said I'll return in after 12 days. Didn't I?

Why did you come before that?

-But boss told to check with you. -I am on a different level now.

You will get your money in two days. Move away from here.

Damn this woman.

She is talking too much, let us inform our boss.

Where is it?

Did you find it?

It was under the basket. That’s why it's getting late

Got it.

-Did you find it? -Yes, I got it.

-See you. -Dear...

It is hot outside, why don't you have a cool rose milk?

Rose milk?

-No, I have to go. -Be careful.

-Sir, I came yesterday. Remember? -Yes.

-Did I leave any cheque leaf? -No, you didn't.

Think carefully, sir. Like a paper!

Did you drop it in the bin?

Did I leave any cover here?

100 customers come here everyday, how can I remember everything?

Did you find something like a cheque leaf here? Did anyone inform you?

We didn't see anything like that.

A person gave me a cheque for a huge amount.

I missed it somewhere, sir. I searched for it everywhere, but to no use.

The thing is that I didn't write my name on it.

How can you be so careless?

You say that it is a huge amount; you have not mentioned your name too.

Some one may fill in their name and take the money.

Don't say such things, sir. What can we do now?

Make a call immediately.

Call the person who gave it to you and ask him to cancel the cheque,

and ask for a new cheque.

New cheque?

-Call without delay. -Doing it, sir.

It is switched off.

For every second you waste, your money is at risk. Go soon.

-Move fast. -Okay, sir.

Why is the shop closed?

yes!

It happened all of a sudden.

Brother, why is the shop closed?

-I want to meet the Sait. -He is in the hospital.

Why? What happened?

-Heart attack. He is serious. -Heart attack?

-Which hospital? -Gem hospital.

Aren't you the guy who asked if the Sait was dead or alive?

Stop, you!

Madam, Ramlal Sait?

-Fourth floor. -Fourth floor? Thank you.

Come down sooner.

You will be fine, Sait. You must be fine.

His family is here.

How will I get in?

Doctor, how is he now?

Apart from the heart attack,

his kidney is bad too.

His pulse is also going down.

We are doing our best.

Please sir, his son will be here from Mumbai.

Ask him to come sooner, we don't have much time left.

-Sister. -Yes.

I am Sait's relative.

-Relative? -Yes.

He is my uncle, I must see him.

He doesn't even look like a Sait, but calls him his relative.

How can I make her believe?

Let me wear the kumkum.

Hey Ram!

Sait, step aside.

(In Hindi) What?

Sait sir, please move.

Sait? (In Hindi) Thank you.

Let me go in and meet him.

Hold on. Who are you?

He is my relative.

He is critical, you cannot go in. We cannot allow you.

-Sir, please understand. -He is my heart.

Oh God!

-I must see him. -Okay, see him before the doctor comes.

Thanks, child.

God, save me from Hindi language.

Sir? It is terrible to watch you in this condition.

Sait, sir.

Sait, sir.

I lost the cheque you gave me.

My life depends on it.

Sir, I am Sivapuniyam's son.

Sir, can you hear me?

Mom...

Do not worry.

Do not worry.

You must recover soon, at least for me. Sait, sir.

Open your eyes, sir. Sir?

I hear nothing.

Yes, I can hear it.

Sait, sir.

I'll get coffee for the doctor.

You go ahead and see him.

Sait, sir. You son is here for you.

Dad.

Dad.

Dear God.

Please wait.

They seem to be in a hurry!

Nothing bad should happen, dear God.

Dear God!

Nothing...

Sorry, we couldn't save him.

Oh God, Sait! You passed away?

[Chandramukhi!]

How can you abandon us like this?

Did the Sait give a cheque to you too?

-Cheque? -No, is it?

You can continue crying.

He was very happy yesterday.

He wanted to eat a lot of Jalebis.

He suddenly had an heart attack and passed away.

-Hello! -Namasthe!

Sait was very fond of our area.

He made sure that his actions did not hurt anyone in anyway.

'My shop will be the main sponsor for our area's temple festival'; he said.

'Collect 5 lakhs from me tomorrow'; he told me.

But I never expected this to happen.

I don't know how I will manage the temple festival now.

Brother...

you will give the money, right?

It is the money your father promised for the temple. It involves God himself.

If my dad has said so,

I am okay with it.

Like father, like son.

Thanks a lot.

Hey!

Be with him, get everything done,

and come back with the money.

Why did you accept to give the money?

It is a scam.

-These people are frauds. -Damn, he ruined it.

Sir, greetings...

-Weren't you at the hospital? -Yes, it was me.

What do you want?

Your father gave me a cheque.

I lost it by mistake.

I thought of getting a new cheque from him.

But he passed away.

So, I thought of talking to you...

And?

Get a new cheque from you.

How much?

One crore, sir.

One crore?

Yes, sir.

-RTGS is also fine. -Just a minute.

Ramesh.

Do you know him?

No, sir.

I have not seen him before.

Did you hear it? He is my dad's P.A.

My dad won't do anything without his knowledge.

Your dad gave it to me without anyone's knowledge.

He died only a few hours ago,

and have you started to cheat in his name?

-No, sir. -Ramesh, today is Saturday.

His account will be active only till Monday evening.

It will deactivate after that.

Complete all the transactions before that.

Do you take all Saits for fools?

No, sir.

I was born and brought up in Madras.

I am a bloody localite.

Sir...

Your father gave this visiting card to me.

My father would have distributed thousand such cards.

-Sir, this is not the same. Believe me. -Don't infuriate me.

-Sir, please sir. -Didn't you hear me?

-Leave. -But sir...

I am saying the truth.

Your dad gave me a cheque.

-I swear... -Words will not work with you.

You see this?

This is a licensed gun,

to shoot thieves like you.

God! I am not such a person, sir.

Can't you hear me?

-Sir.. -Go away.

Come with me.

-Move. -Come.

Get out of here.

Move.

Go.

Damn fraud!

What shall I do now?

How will I manage her?

Chitra!

-Stop being sluggish and dig it fast. -I am doing it, dear.

Him?

Uncle, how are you?

I am fine. How are you?

I am doing great.

Tell me.

Chitra, I need a small favour.

You must do it for me without objecting.

Apart from money, I will do any help for you, uncle.

I don't need your money. Just do as I say.

Call your sister.

Tell her that you feel pain from the hernia surgery they did on you.

Ask her to be with you for two days. Somehow make her to come there.

That is enough.

But I am fine, uncle.

Do you want your uncle to be fine or not?

Didn’t I ask you to help without objection?

Just do me this one favour.

-What you say? -Okay, uncle.

Phew!

Hello, brother.

Stop it. Don’t cause nuisance in the park.

God's blessing? It is a curse on me.

Here she calls.

Yes, Anbu.

Chitra is ill, it seems. She asked me to be with her for two days.

-Shall I go see her? -Why does your sister always fall sick?

She has made it a habit.

But still, she was on your side when you fell sick.

Fine, go see her.

Okay, but call me as soon as you get the money,

-I will be here the next moment. -Sure, I will do it

I have kept 1000 rupees next to the box.

Don't ruin your health eating street foods.

-Eat biriyani from a good restaurant. -Okay, okay.

-Don't waste time. Start now. -One more thing.

What is it?

Love you.

-Okay, dear. Love you... -Bye.

-Bye dear! -Gosh.

This is very important!

I got the cheque in this very hand, Sengu.

I don't know where I missed it.

You should have at least written your name before you lost it.

Today is an auspicious crescent moon day, I thought of writing my name today.

No one can reform you people.

Give me that pain balm.

Can we find the cheque if his name is on it?

No. Now that we won't get the money, no one else will get it too.

Your evil heart belongs in a mortuary.

Shall we give a police complaint?

Would you complain to a cat about a missing fish?

-Bad idea. -What shall we do then?

Wait, I have an idea.

A police kind of person travels in my auto rickshaw often

-He calls himself detet or something. -Detective?

Yeah, I guess so.

He will find lost goods in no time.

We can go and see him. He might be of some help.

Sengu, this sounds like a good idea. Shall we go?

The idea sounds good, but do you want to trust this Madras guy?

-Jerk! Don't underestimate a Madras guy! -First, come. Let's handle my issue.

Move guys. Move.

"Earth, Universe, Necessity"

Get your palm read.

-Palmistry, here. -This is the mansion.

Das, this place looks a bit shady.

Are they repo men?

The place looks dark; there is a red light too.

-I have bad feeling about this place. -Be quiet, Sengu.

-Such a weird place. -Come in.

What is it?

It's an important matter.

We need sir's help.

We are vacating the office.

Sir will not take up any more cases.

It's an urgent case.

He knows me well; he is my regular customer.

Let me see him just once.

-Greetings, sir. -Come in.

Have a seat.

Das! How are you?

-How is your auto business? -It is good, sir.

He is like a brother to me; he lost something important.

You must find it for us. That is why I brought him here.

Das...

This is my last day in this place.

So, I am not taking any new cases.

-Don't mistake me. -Sir...

He is such a poor chap, sir.

Sir, my life started somewhere, it took me to many unexpected places,

and it has led me here.

I don't know if I can correct my mistakes.

But you give me some hope.

Please help me, sir.

You don't have to do it for me.

Do it for my kids. Their future depends on your decision, sir.

I got a treasure and lost it.

Help me, sir.

Yes dear...

-Where are you, dad? -I am in my office.

Dad, are you kidding me?

Your 70th birthday is coming, still you are at work?

You promised you'd come home early.

Why do you do this?

I promise. This is my last case.

Sir?

-Thanks a lot, sir. -Thanks a lot, sir.

Alright.

We cannot settle your issue inside this room.

Wait outside for a few minutes. I'll come.

-Hey, look over there. -Where?

Coming, coming, coming, I'm coming in search!

Go to the DTP center and say 'sir' is here.

-AC sir, so what? -So what, you say?

AC means Assistant Commissioner. Police!

Police?

Go and hide yourself, quick!

I've begun my search!

-Marx. -Tell me, sir.

Whatever happened here,

tell me exactly as they happened.

will never miss my vision!

It's simple. You have to DTP it from Tamil to English.

Please, it's urgent.

They came first, ask them.

One crore in three days.

-I will be it's owner. -One crore?

Where is my bag?

-It was here. -I took it along with the book.

What is this?

So, you heard him talk over the phone.

When he was distracted, you opened his bag and took the cheque.

If we take her to the station, we'll get the cheque.

Sir please sir. Please don't take me to the station.

-I will tell the truth, sir. -Yes, tell.

Do you see the purple colour doll dangling in the bag?

It looked beautiful and cute.

I thought of buying a similar doll for my bag, that is why I took his bag.

Okay, okay. Doll fanatic, I guess.

The girl did not take your cheque.

Hence, you did not lose your cheque here.

I must go in and say 'AC sir is here', right?

-Going. -You fool.

Tell them that Baahubali's director Rajamouli is here.

They won't believe it.

Shall I tell actor Radharavi is here?

What? Rajamouli?

-Rajamouli has come. -Rajamouli?

This will be the opening shot when the heroine enters.

Okay, sir. That will work.

I searched everywhere and lost!

Why did I even have expectations?

I brought her for fever. Without giving proper treatment,

they killed her.

He is the killer.

We must not spare him.

So, you kept the bag down during the ruckus.

I guess that you lost the cheque during this time.

Where is the CCTV room here?

Sir, did you see that?

Zoom in to that.

Find the doctor wearing a black watch on his right hand.

Come, let's go.

Who are you? What do you want?

-Thenu... -Tell the truth.

Oh God!

Sir, I will tell the truth.

I suffer from kleptomania.

I will take anything that attracts me.

He is coming to the point. We'll get it.

-Thenu... -Sir!

Sir, all the things I stole are in this bag.

Coming, coming, coming, I'm coming in search!

The cheque is not here, sir.

Axe brand oil is what he stole.

Those who try to deceive me and make a run for it;

and those who try to mock me, better go and hide!

I heard accidents happen often in this road.

Yes, chief. Someone must have done black magic.

So, who gave the bag?

A beggar?

Really?

He is no normal beggar; he is a crook.

-What are they doing? -You draw well...

you can earn a lot if you do it in the main road.

-What do you want? -What's with the attitude?

Nowadays, no human interacts without a reason.

It keeps on coming.

Look at it, Das.

There is a story behind everyone.

Nothing, sir.

The thing you searched for. Did you get it?

What is it? Looks like nails.

Sir...

It'll be useful for causing accidents again.

Should people die in accident for your greed?

Sorry, Chief. I did it for the money.

But that beggar...

He collects all the nails I drop. I lost my income because of him.

My intention was to just puncture tyres, but they ended up in accident.

-Thenu, I am sending you a video. -Okay, sir.

Give it to the police. They will put some punctures on the puncture man.

Will do it, sir.

Is he the T.V mechanic?

God, no! Just answer his questions.

-Did you see any cheque? -A cheque?

It was in an orange cover.

Orange colour?

-Brother.. -Got it?

-Here it is. -My saviour!

-God Good. -We found it at last.

It's a postal cover. It's an invitation.

-Marx. -Sir.

-Is it a wedding or birthday invite? -Funeral, move out.

What have you done, sir?

-Had your lunch? -The food has come.

But no one to serve me.

Wait.

These women always throw the trash at the entrance.

Irresponsible people.

Let me tell you what comes to my mind.

We didn't miss the cheque at any of the places we went.

Nobody stole it.

Where is the cheque then?

That's what I am thinking too.

It would have happened to all of us.

After losing a receipt or a bill, we would have searched for it everywhere.

We won't get it when we need it the most.

But it will be somewhere near us.

We might get it after three or six months.

Your cheque is also stuck in some small place!

We are struggling unable to locate that small place, now.

There is an idea.

I know a psychologist named Malathy.

You go and meet her.

We will get a clear picture about the problem.

Sir.

I know this is important to you.

This case is important to me too.

Because this is my last case.

I don't wish to lose this.

Monday is the deadline for both of us.

-Hi brother... -Disconnect your phone, will you?

-Please wait. Go on. -Disconnect that, will you?

It might be some important call.

-Brother... -He is getting down.

Hey!

Now? All of a sudden...

Come back in. It's getting late.

Within a week.

Alright, I will try to do something.

Oh no!

We need to go!

-Brother! -What is it?

Sengu!

Quit it, will you? Das, what happened?

Owner called me. He says he is going to sell the auto rickshaw.

Oh... Uh!

This as well, now?

I can't let go of this.

Only God can save me.

Here, take some chocolate.

It's alright.

-Why? Don't you like it? -No, I like it.

-Take some then. -Okay

-Pick one. -I don't like the mango flavour.

I said one. Not all of it.

Tell me Marx. What's bothering you?

Okay, Marx.

Please be seated on the sofa.

-We shall start the session. -Okay madam.

What about them?

They can stay, if you are okay.

-Are you guys comfortable? -We will stay!

They are comfortable, madam.

Thank you, madam.

-Relax yourself. -Okay madam.

-Listen to me, carefully. -Okay madam.

I can't get into your brain and find out where you missed the cheque.

But I can guide you.

You must find the answer through my guidance.

Okay, madam.

Alright, now close your eyes.

Follow my instructions clearly.

Visualize everything in your mind as I say.

Take a deep breath.

And let it out.

Relax yourself.

Focus your attention on the sound from this Newton's cradle.

Now try to remember whatever is buried in your subconscious mind.

Now, you are the happiest person in the world.

There are no problems to bother you.

The innocent smile of a six month old toddler,

is all that you are experiencing.

You are flying high in the sky.

The universe gives you everything that you ask for.

It gives you so much more than you can handle.

Your mind is so clean.

You are flowing like a clear river.

Your life will know no suffering thereafter.

You have got all that you wished for.

Let me ask you something now.

We are headed to Friday, the fourth of November.

-Hello -Sait, sir.

I am Sivapuniyam's son speaking.

When shall I come to receive the cheque?

I called the sait,

and went to get the cheque from him.

So, you got the cheque.

-What did you do then? -Then...

I kept it inside my bag.

What did you do then?

I started my bike and left happily.

-Did you miss the cheque then? -No.

Yes, that is where I missed the cheque.

Yes.

Sorry, madam.

Where did you go from there?

I went to the bank after that.

What happened en-route?

There was an accident en-route.

I helped him.

Do you remember anything else, at this place?

I missed my cheque here too.

Really?

Where did you go from there?

Then I went to the hospital.

Do you see the cheque now?

Madam,

I missed the cheque here too.

-Here too? -Great.

Okay, Marx. Open your eyes.

At times, our mind misguides us.

That is why, you feel you have lost the cheque everywhere.

To be precise,

our mind cheats us at times.

Your mind wants you to relax yourself.

Alright, what do you do when you want to feel happy?

-I... -Go ahead.

-Tell her. -Go on.

Marx, tell me.

Rarely, I drink beer to feel happy.

Then..

I watch movies.

What is your favourite movie?

'Varusham 16'

Do you like Kushbu?

Yes.

-I like Anushka. -Ranjitha, for me.

I have a suggestion.

Drink some beer, heartily.

Watch the movie, 'Varusham 16' after that.

Most importantly, you must not think about the lost cheque.

We shall fix another session tomorrow morning.

Aren't we close friends?

Listen,

I have been adamant about buying your brand...

even if I have to walk through a dozen shops.

Our friendship is that thick.

I dare you.

As doctor said,

I must not remember the lost cheque.

Do you get it?

I shouldn't remember.

That's it.

-Get up, will you? -Not here!

I'll rip you apart. Brother, we must not give up!

Let's take the positive route, not the negative one.

You are great indeed.

-Tell me. -Marx, what happened?

Are you okay now?

Sengu, I feel so fresh.

-Great. -We shall locate the cheque today.

-Great, come over. Let's visit the doctor.

Alright, where are... Please hold on.

-Senu, Chitra's calling me. Let me call you back. -Okay

Yes, dear.

What are you doing, uncle?

How many times do I have to call you? Why don't you pick up?

I was exhausted, so I slept. Tell me.

Things have gone out of hands here.

What happened?

Sister, tell me.

It seems your husband lost a cheque.

He had brought someone to search for it.

Hello.

-She is furious and headed there. -God!

You better escape somehow.

Alright, I shall take care.

She is headed here? Where are my keys?

Where are my keys?

Uh-oh!

Hello, Anbu.

Go on.

Where did you lose the cheque?

I lost....

I don't know where I lost it.

I am looking for it.

Don't you have any sense?

Why don't you get another cheque from Sait?

Why are you quiet? Talk!

The Sait passed away due to heart attack yesterday morning.

And...

-And? -It's nothing.

Tell me what happened?

Tell me.

I didn't write my name on it, yet.

-You shameless fellow. -Anbu!

Why are you even alive?

Are you a kid?

It's a small piece of paper.

-Don't you know how to keep it safe? -Anbu...

Leave, before I do anything to you.

-I don't need you to raise my kids. -Let me...

If you dare come back again...

you will be humiliated.

I shall find it out somehow.

Like hell you will.

Don't you understand me?

Dad...

-I have had enough of you. -Mother...

Mother...

-Don't ever come back. -Listen, Anbu.

Don't come back to me! You, go inside!

Have some mercy on dad.

Don't come to me talking about dad! You guys have no father!

-Get inside. -Mom, don't do it.

-Mom, don't do it. -Get out.

-Don't ever come back. -The children are scared.

-Listen, Anbu. -Out!

I shall get the cheque before this evening. Anbu!

Excuse me!

Who is he? Early morning!

Is it over? Come down.

-So grandpa, is the TV broken? -Yes.

I shall ask my men to get you a new one.

Great.

You know to repair right? Repair it for him.

-I shall do it, boss. -He will take care of it.

Be happy as always.

Hello, Anburani.

I heard some quarrel between the couple.

So, I decided to stay away.

You asked us to be here by 10 AM sharp, didn't you?

We are men who live by our words.

So, I waited for the right time. I am here as promised.

Have you got the money?

Why are you yelling at the ladies? What do you want?

So...

will you pay up?

What is the total amount?

The total comes up to 6 and 3/4th lakh!

Fetch it for me.

You can't, right? Move aside!

Listen...

I don't lend money for a long period.

You got two days time to pay back six and 3/4th lakh!

Otherwise, come with me...

I meant to collect by debts.

I heard you are good with words.

She might abscond overnight.

Ask one of our boys to watch her.

Keep it there and record a video of me.

-Brother -What is it?

Let's tell him.

-Keep quiet, will you? -The whole city has watched it.

Instead of him learning through someone else,

-let's break it to him. -He is so deep in trouble.

-So, keep quiet. -I understand.

It's better if we tell him.

Keep quiet.

What is it?

-Sengu, what happened? -Nothing.

He says, everyone has watched it.

You say it's unwise to let me know. What is it?

-Something else... -Something else?

-It's something else -Hey.

Sengu, I feel crushed.

Please tell me what it is.

-Brother, -Yes...

-Let's break it to him -It's about to rain.

Tell me, goddamn it.

Here.

'Hello'

'I am clueless about what to say'

'I am choking in anger'

'You might know the most intelligent people in the world'

'The list goes on with the inventor of electricity and people who made airplanes'

'But you wouldn't know who is the biggest fool in this world'

'Let me tell you who it is'

'I am posting this video...'

'so that you can show your kids the biggest fool in this world'

'He is the one'

'He is Karl Marx. My husband'

'There is a doofus who hired this fool'

'Aqua-home Water Purifier. He works there'

'He is not competent enough to earn money'

'He begs around for money'

'And that's how I run the family'

'By God's grace, he got a 1 crore rupees cheque'

'He didn't have the sense to write his name on it and keep it safe'

'He lost the cheque'

'The one who gave him the cheque passed away too'

'How do I run a family with him?'

'Not everyone who fathers a child is a man'

'One who knows how to survive is a man'

'That's why I say he is not a man'

'Mom, that is enough. Please, stop it'

Marx...

-Marx, let it go. -Yes.

She did it in a fit of rage.

It's not that...

I understand why my wife scolded me.

'Here comes the new entertainment...'

'an incompetent fellow' 'shameless'...

'poison him'...

There are 2000 such comments.

So...

my sorrow is being celebrated by 2000 people.

They don't matter to us. Why do you worry about them?

It's a wonder how the human heart has changed.

What do they know about me?

What are you talking, man?

Let it go.

Karl Marx...

has become an entertainment for them all.

It's alright if they are happy with this.

-Marx -There is nothing I shall do.

-I feel bad -Forget it.

I didn't even cry when my mother died.

-Come on. -Stop crying like a kid.

-Leave me alone. I plead you guys. -Don't cry brother.

This is why I stopped you earlier.

Marx.

Sir, tell me.

Marx, what's all this?

The management has seen your wife's video.

She has mentioned the company's name too.

They are forcing me to fire you.

Settle your accounts tomorrow.

Sorry Marx...

Thank you, sir.

Jaya's mom.

Where is your mother?

She is inside.

Have some idlies, will you?

-Why are you sad, dear? -It's nothing.

Jaya's mom...

Why are you doing here?

Looks like you haven't washed the utensils yet.

I am nearby, you could have called me, right?

Don't mistake me for telling this.

You could've thought twice before you did it.

Who doesn't have problems?

Look at me.

We have been trying for a kid for past eight years.

Only when people ask us about it during functions,

it'll hurt us as if only conceiving child is the purpose of life.

We can't live only for the sake of others.

Let life go on it's own.

I want to live a happy life until then.

Malar, I understand.

But how do I control my temper.

Come with me, now.

Do you know what these are?

I maintain an RD account at the post office.

On behalf of my children.

It would add up to 5 lakhs in 7 to 8 years.

Why do you think I break my spine doing all the laundry?

To pay up for a jewel account.

I won't get my daughter married without any jewellery.

I ought to save some jewellery for her.

He thinks I do all this to live a luxurious life.

If my kids question me in the future, I will have no answer then.

He would go away, dreaming about buying this or that land

As a mother, I ought to answer to my kids.

That's why I fight for every penny.

Isn’t that why all of us women fight?

Despite our struggles,

couldn’t he keep a piece of paper safe?

Don't I deserve to question him?

Sister, don't cry. Let it go.

Malar.

Can you ask your husband to check on him?

'Chanting Mantras'

-Sir. -Marx.

Marx, I have an idea.

Other than losing the cheque...

-you remember everything else, don't you? -Yes, sir.

-Can you recreate the day? -What sir?

-I don't follow, sir. -How do I explain?

Make a video of what happened that day along with your friends.

It will help us find a clue.

-Sir, I will call you later. -Marx.

-Sir, I will call you later. -Marx.

Please sir.

Is he for real?

He is asking us to recreate the day and send him a video.

Is that even possible?

This isn't cinema.

Until now, we tried everything we could.

Why don't we try this too?

-Brother... -We don't have much time.

-Sengu, tell him. -I don't have the energy.

Whatever happens shall happen.

Dad...

Mangala...

Dear, why do you cry? What happened?

-Dad, I am scared. -Why dear?

I don't know what to do.

The house owner is asking us to vacate the house.

The loan shark is coming around and causing troubles.

Dad, I am scared.

On top,you and mom, both keep fighting.

I don't want to live, dad.

Dear, don’t you ever say that.

-Hold your tongue. -Dad, I am scared.

Stop crying, dear.

I'm there for you. Don't you worry, dear.

-Okay dad. -I will call you back.

What happened?

-Sengu.. -What happened?

Let’s try what the detective suggested.

Didn't you speak against it?

My family depends on me.

As long as I am alive I need to fight for my family.

-Shall we try? -Let's do it.

-Okay brother. -You handle the camera while I direct.

-Okay, bro. -Shall we start?

Ready... Action.

Life looks slimy and slippery!

With each excuse I give, I'm sweating it out!

-Life looks slimy and slippery! -What happened?

Excuses! -He is hurt and you are all just looking?

-Let me take him in my car. -No, he needs an ambulance.

Don't you hear him? I travel only in ambulance. Get lost.

Can't you just tell them to go and carry me?

-What happened? -Sister, an accident.

-You are bringing an accident everyday? -You are also here everyday!

Why is there so much blood on his face?

You will definitely fail the exam, if you write only what you know!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

You all come in. Get up!

-Move aside. -You sit here.

Wait until I ask you?

There were many who were as sly as foxes around

Ask the receptionist to mail it.

Move aside sir..

Who are you? What are you doing here?

-Didn't you get the memo? You are fired. -Who me?

-He is the new manager. -Hi.

Didn't you ask for a comedy scene?

No, I didn't.

No, you asked for a comedy scene.

-I said, I will call the mechanic. -Yes.

That's it.

Sister, I'm lost for words.

It's your family matter and I shouldn't be telling you this.

But you've dragged it to the streets.

As your own younger brother, I just want to tell you one thing.

When I think of the consequences of your issue, it scares me.

That's all I got to say.

Take care.

(Chanting mantras)

-Tell me, Marx. -I've sent the videos to you.

Please have a look at it.

Dear Malathy, check this out.

Auspicious hour is about to get over.

-Wait for couple of minutes! -Okay.

Did you notice his activities?

Yes. Before shooting the video,

I feel that he is keeping things regularly, in his front seat cover.

Yes.

I feel that keep things regularly in the bike front cover has become his habit.

Bike front cover...

I'm a crorepathi now!

Just do as I said. Finalize it.

Yes, sir!

I kept it in that. Thanks, sir.

Wait, sir. I'll check and get back.

-Where is it? -Sengu, I kept it in bike front cover!

-Come on, man! -Go! Check!

-Come on. -Run!

-Where's the cheque? -Check it out.

-Is it there? -Wait a minute!

-What's this? -Is it there?

-God! -Didn't anyone take it?

-You kept it here, right? -Wait. Let me think in peace.

Cut the call!

What now?

Mara,

you told about the village president's land that is coming for sale, right?

Finalize it.

Look, I can't dance to your tunes.

Stresses me out all the time!

-God! -What happened?

I did keep in the bike front cover,

but it was a different bike.

Why... Now how will we search for that bike?

I don't know!

That's it!

Brother, wait. We can still find it.

If we go to that location,

one or the other CCTV around would've recorded that bike's number.

If we get the bike's number, we can get the address for sure!

Stop! Stop!

-Come on. -Check around.

Was it here?

My bike was here and the other bike was there.

Here?

Brother, check that out!

There's CCTV in that hotel.

Marx, there you are.

You put the cheque in that bike's cover.

You are right.

Brother, please zoom in.

You sat on your bike.

Number plate is almost visible. Please zoom in.

There's a cover stuck to it!

Someone's approaching the bike.

He'll turn around now. We'll see the number in front of the bike.

He didn't turn.

-He just left. -Hey, brother!

are there any other cameras?

We've only one camera installed.

-Marx, come on. -Leave it, brother.

Sengu,

God will pretend to be kind to middle class people like us.

But in reality God isn't kind to us.

Instead, God snatches everything away from us.

Looks like God finds pleasure in our suffering.

Leave it, Marx.

Our bad time over takes us every time.

Here, attend it.

-Manager? -Brother, don't cry.

Yes, it's Sengu speaking.

Tell me.

Don't cry, brother.

Really? Okay, sir! Okay!

We'll be there, sir.

Marx!

They found the cheque!

-What? -It's in the office!

-Quick! Let's go! -Get in!

Das, go fast

-Now drive faster! -Wait!

There's heavy traffic.

Move aside!

Go! Go! Fast!

Go!

Sir...

Welcome, Marx. He is here to meet you regarding the cheque.

I am Murugesan. An electrician.

Thanks a lot, sir.

Cheque was indeed in my bike.

But it was my daughter who recognized it belongs to you.

Is it her?

Here's your cheque, brother.

We saw the cheque the day you misplaced it in my dad's bike.

But there was no name in it.

Hence, we didn't know whom it belonged to.

I was not so keen on going to the police station.

That's when our shop's owner,

showed us the video.

"By God's grace, he got a 1 crore rupees cheque"

"He didn't have the sense to write his name on it and keep it safe!"

"And he lost the cheque!"

"There is a doofus who hired this fool"

"Aqua Home Water Purifier"

"He works there"

Based on the details your wife said in that video,

I found out that you lost this cheque and where you worked.

That's how we ended up here, brother.

Dear...

Did it not occur to you that you could write your name and take the money?

This money belongs to you, brother.

I thought many saw my video...

and was entertained by my suffering, I was heart broken

Come on, man.

'But that's not the truth'

'There are people who can empathize with others sufferings...'

'and humanity still exists'

You have given me that hope.

More than this cheque,

the hope that you gave me is my real happiness.

God bless you, dear.

Brother, we are getting late.

-Let's go. -Yes.

See you, dear.

I'll return from the bank and meet you.

-Look how he's driving! -Get lost!

-Stop. Wonder what they will say. -Come on!

Run! Run before they close!

Here we are. Thank God they are open.

Did you sign on it?

-I forgot! -Come on, man!

-Look at the queue. -Uh-oh!

-What do we do now? -They won't move if we tell the truth.

Whose bike is that outside?

A buffalo is squashing it!

-It could be mine! -Mine is a new bike!

-Could it be your bike? -I don't have one.

-How much are you depositing? -5000.

-I'll pay you 5100 rupees. Move! -Sir, here you go.

Sir, it's getting late. What are you looking at for so long?

I am Karl Marx.

-What happened, sir? -Wait.

Sir, I think we must verify this cheque.

Mr. Ramlal?

I'm his son. Tell me.

Will the manager call you in?

Fraud! Did he come there too?

Wait, I'll hand him over to the police!

What are they discussing?

Why are you shouting?

What happened?

A fraud has gone to the bank claiming dad gave him a cheque.

-Let me call the police. -Hold on.

What's his name?

Karl Marx.

Karl Marx?

Wait a minute.

I am so happy today.

All these years I thought I won't be able to repay my debt.

But God gave me a chance to repay it.

I gave his son, Karl Marx, a cheque worth one crore.

I am very happy today!

I will eat lot of Jalebis today.

Go, make it and get it for me.

His dad is the reason why our family is so successful today.

His father was the real owner of our family business.

Dad...

Sir, sorry.

There was a small miscommunication.

That's indeed a cheque given by my dad. No problem.

Also sir, no need to freeze the account.

I am the nominee, right? Add my name to the account.

My dad would've wanted to help someone.

It should not stop after his demise.

Okay, sir. Thank you.

Sir, why are you removing glasses like a doctor giving sad news?

Your cheque has been processed.

Yay!

-Brother! -Awesome!

Congrats!

-Sir, a small help. -Tell me.

Can I get this one crore...

as cash?

There is small process for it.

Follow that and you'll get the cash in three days.

Okay, sir.

Man, you have done it!

We made it!

Please try to understand.

Please give me few more days.

Even the house owner is creating issues.

Don't you worry about that.

I won't let you move from there without repaying my money.

Okay?

Mom...

Let's break this piggy bank and use the money to repay our debts.

Let's bring back dad home and live happily like before.

Brother...

No, thanks.

You got the cheque back, right?

Then why are you so dull? Here.

I was having too many expectations until I got it.

But after getting it, I kind of feel empty.

But there's something that's making my heart heavy.

Your heart will become light when you get the money.

-Now drink. -I'd if I want to. You guys drink.

Leave it.

Does your wife know you got the cheque back?

No.

If she knew it, she'd be already here to take you back.

Just see the royal treatment you get at home hereafter.

Already the treatment I got is enough, Sengu.

Sir, hold on.

Here, the detective is on the call.

Sir, Sengu here.

Thank you so much sir.

Never thought you'd risk it so much to help us find it.

Thanks a lot, sir.

Okay, sir.

I've seen so much cash only in the movies.

-Drive slow. We're in no hurry. -Yes, brother.

All that rash driving to find the cheque has stressed me out.

-Das... -Yes?

Stop at the big park. Let's sit there for a while.

Tell me something.

Why are we sitting here with so much money? Neither does he know nor us!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Rock, paper, scissors!

Catch! Catch!

Come, let's play running and catching.

See that, dear?

Without being selfish,

it is graciously sharing it with others around it.

If humans could've a bit of this compassion,

no one would suffer and die.

Let me tell you one thing.

The best savings you can have in this world,

is your timely help to someone who is struggling.

You may become an engineer or doctor when you grow up. It's your choice.

But if you ever think of doing something for me,

then be like them.

What happened, Marx? Why are you panicking?

What happened brother?

-Sengu! -I don't know.

I now understood why my heart feels heavy.

Why?

My dad had a wish about how I should be when I grow up.

Only if I live up to that wish,

I'd be worthy of using this money.

What my dad would've done with this money,

is what I must do.

Only then I am a worthy son to my dad.

What are you gonna do?

I am going to share a part of this money to my close people, who are suffering.

Are you nuts?

You know how much you had to battle to get this. You want to give it away?

Even millionaires think a thousand times to give even a single rupee.

True, brother.

We are mere middle class people. Why do you want to give away money?

Are only the rich suppose to give money to others?

The middle class you talk about,

will they refuse if people like us give them money?

-No, I mean... -Quiet.

Sengu, hold it.

Hold the bag. I'll tell you.

-People are watching. -Let them.

After all it's our money.

Das,

buy that auto rickshaw.

-Take it. -Brother!

No, thanks. Keep it with you.

-You can do it! -I will tell you if I need.

But for current emergency have it.

Be happy. Have it.

Marx, didn't you want to buy a land in your village?

This is more important than that.

You are a gentle graceful sway

When two clouds come together, there is thunder!

Consider me like your dad.

Please don't refuse this.

Here, take it.

-Okay. -Good.

-Take this money, as do as you wish. -When in deep sleep,

-I spoke to the owner. -a million

Pay this advance and run this shop well. -dreams...

I didn't help you expecting this.

I too am not giving you with that expectation.

Start your business with this money instead of getting emotional.

Now don't cry like a kid. -Dancing on the ground

Start your business with this shop.

all you happy breaths!

Even as we near our end,

Anbu, there's 80 lakhs in this.

do our desires end?

I don't care if you start a business or use it for our kids' education.

It's completely up to you.

I am happy with my current life.

I wish to continue my life like this.

The breeze that makes the flowers sway,

or the words spoke by the lighting,

or the songs that are sung with closed eyes,

or the hives that bees have built

I am not going to do any business.

Just like you wished for,

let's buy two acres of land in our village and a bore set.

So...

Our children's education, right?

Who else can teach them life lessons better than our own village??

Anbu...

Is it really you that is speaking?

Do you really want us to move to our village?

I thought living a reputed life in front of others here is what life is all about.

But that's all bullshit.

Life is to live the way we want to.

I've learnt that...

from you.

Okay, dear.

Well but...

I don't know how to control this temper of mine.

That's your real beauty.

-See you. -Bye.

See you. God bless you.

-See you grandpa!

I am pregnant.

Congratulations Selva!

-Here. -What's this?

Keep this document carefully.

What's this?

In future, either you or you kids come and ask me,

I shall pay up based on the market price then.

Awesome.

Come on, man.

They told your nephew has it.

-Ask him. -Sure.

Dear nephew.

Dear...

Yes, uncle?

Dear, all our seeds got ruined due to rain.

-Okay. -So, I'm here to buy some seeds.

There are eight sacks of seeds inside.

Leave two and you may have six of them.

-How much for it? -Just forget it, uncle.

Like father, like son!

I'll ask your grand daughter's hand in marriage for my son as repayment.

We toil hard and sow the seeds.

And you'll let your cows grace on it?

Will you be quiet if same happened to your field?

They don’t know any better, Anbu.

If your cows graze my farms again, then you will see what I am all about

There she goes again!

Look at this!

What's this?

Dad, remember the recreational video we posted?

We got eight lakh views on it.

-Oh yeah! -We got more subscribers.

Awesome, dear.

What's up, buddy?

What happened to that alliance from Vadoor?

-Didn't work out. -Uh-oh.

Another broker has promised to show a bride from the neighbouring village.

Fine, and then...

KF (beer), right? I'll get you a chilled one.

-Come fast. -Okay.

Unhealed wounds,

unsolved burdens

Everything will change, one fine day!

Without rains;

all that is left are tears;

to set foot on the ground!

My golden field, my full moon!

The branch of the banyan, that the parrot swings on!

The further the distance,

has lessened the burden!

Life is no longer full of sadness!

There is contentment, in living simple

This life is more than enough!

A thousand,

Or even a hundred thousand!

crores will not make it equal.

Food is getting cooked;

all that is needed to satisfy your hunger, is just one cup food!
