Balu said,

"People abroad live with all kinds of comforts.

People abroad are born in America or Europe,

so they live that way.

That's their good fortune.

But you were born here,

so this is how you will live.

That's your fate."

Please come down!

Someone, get him!

Oh God!

Are you coming down or not?

Get down!

Why is everyone standing in front of my house?

Don't you people have any work?

You people would gather even if someone just farted loudly!

Benny, dear! Please come down!

Don't burn anything! Just come down!

I'll come down only after I burn this whole house. Go away!

This isn't our house! It's your uncle's house!

Come down right now!

He tricked us and took over this house, didn't he?

I'm burning everything down!

- Including my uncle! - Listen to how he talks.

He didn't take it, son!

Your drunk father sold everything.

Listen to me. Come down first!

Benny, listen to your uncle.

Come down. We'll go to the hospital.

Who's that? Uncle Antony?

When my own mother was dying last month,

you didn't take her to the hospital!

And now you're here for me?

One spit on my palm, one solid punch,

and you'll fly straight into that pond.

Get lost!

Such a burden to the world!

- Go die! - He's burning it down!

Someone stop him!

Make way. Make way. Move aside, everyone.

Look at that uncle climbing up!

Hey, Benny!

Hey, Jeeva! When did you come?

Nothing much, man.

Just passing by.

Thought I'd check on you.

Put out the fire, man.

Your mom's scared. She's alone.

Alone?

She has already gathered half the village.

If I burn the whole house, the entire village will show up!

Yeah! Great plan!

But let's not do that.

Listen, man.

If you come down now,

everyone will say you're a good guy.

Otherwise, they'll call you crazy.

Got it?

Do you want to be called a good guy or a crazy guy?

Please be careful.

I don't care what they call me.

What do you think?

Am I good

or crazy?

Jeeva, why waste time with that crackpot?

Ask him if he's opening the door!

Wait! The house is burning. Don't add fuel to it!

- I'm talking to him! - See.

The whole village calls me crazy.

No, man!

Now tell me.

Am I crazy or a good guy?

Am I crazy or a good guy?

I know. You are never wrong.

I will vote for you. Tell me!

You're a very nice guy.

No. Say it to my face.

Good guy or crazy guy?

No! We are the ones who are crazy!

Give me a straight answer!

Crazy or good?

My hand! My hand!

Let go of my hand!

Hey, lunatic!

Hey! Catch me!

Oh my God!

- Don't strip me! Leave me alone! - Come with us!

Let go of my clothes!

I said let go of my clothes!

Thank God! I thought you were going to miss me!

Don't be scared!

- What's wrong with you? - Hey, Benny!

- Hold him tight! Don't let him get away! - Benny, come here!

- Where do you think you are running? - Where are you going?

I'll give you a proper scolding. Stop!

Hey, Benny!

Stop, man!

- Hey, Arumugam! Catch him! - Hey, Benny!

- Hey! Hey! - Benny, stop!

Where are you going with that sickle?

Stop, Benny!

Don't even try to catch me!

Hey, Benny!

I'm the lunatic?

You guys are the real lunatics!

Lunatics!

Lunatics!

- Benny… - Idiot Mani!

- Thyagu! - Stop!

Hey! Stop!

Stop, man!

Hey! Hey! Stop!

Hey! Listen to me, man!

Hey!

Jeeva…

Caught me again?

Every plant I cut

feels like chopping off a villager's head.

You saw that, right? I'll be back.

I'll settle the score!

- Okay. Calm down. - Chill, man.

Come, come, come!

Come with grace!

Come, come, come!

He's TTT!

A grand celebration Led by the young leader!

He's TTT, with a white and white warranty!

All politicians are fans of our brother!

It's out of reach of hands Out of reach of counting

Even a leap cannot catch it!

How about we march to their party office

and stage a big protest against…

THAVIDU (A) MOORTHY OPPOSITION CANDIDATE

cutting down all the banana plants, ripe and unripe?!

- Let's do it, brother. - Brilliant idea.

But for justice for those plantains that lunatic butchered,

is the hospital not the right place to protest?

Then they will call us…

They will think we are crazy, too.

Yes. True.

- We're always late, man! - Yeah, brother.

No more wasting chances from now on!

No matter who we have to sacrifice,

we must win this election.

- Say something, man! - Yes!

- We'll win, brother! - Yes, brother!

We will!

We will!

He crossed the line He's entering our territory

Our town is full of sarcasm!

What's up, Kumar sir?

Looks like you just woke up!

Here's the party's election rice kit for you.

Hold on. I'll be right back.

Where did he go?

For every lane and every street…

Feels like we're the ones receiving it!

- Photo… - Look at the camera.

- Take a photo! - Please smile!

Aren't you going to Ilavarasu's house for the wedding?

Remember, it's a wedding. Not just a few votes!

Whether you remind me or not,

I have to attend that wedding.

Sowmya is like family to me.

Tell her to vote for you

- before she leaves after the wedding. - Brother.

Once the nuptial vermilion is applied tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.,

on polling day,

it'll be ink on the finger! She'll vote for us.

Come with grace!

Come, come, come!

He's TTT!

FROM MARTHANDAM BRIDEGROOM'S FAMILY

Driver, can you stop the bus?

Hey! What's going on here?

They're cheating, brother! Ask them!

Who cheated, man?

You're blaming us because you were losing!

Hey! Did I not tell you no betting on matches?

Just leave, all of you.

Why bring money into sports? Get in now!

- We'll deal with you later! - Get lost, man!

- Let me come too. - Get in.

There's a wedding at your place, and you're out here playing kabaddi?

Who's handling the work at home?

All right.

Is everything set for the evening function?

- Everything's ready. - Okay.

But Thyagu

and his gang have already reached the house.

Has your father lost his mind?

Why bring such people home?

The moment they see string lights, they'll barge in and start drinking.

Why invite them?

- No idea. - Forget it.

Will your friends come to the wedding?

What about you?

Are you out of your mind?

- I cannot go to his house. - Okay.

His father will shoot me if I even step inside.

If my father shoots, your father will slash me.

They are both the same.

Stop here. I'll get down.

Why?

If we're seen together, it will be trouble.

- You go ahead. - Okay.

- I'll call you, okay? - Yeah. Call me when you're ready.

What's this, man? You're still not here?!

I'm standing right in front of your house.

- Hand me the generator. - Hey, man!

- Everything okay? - All good, brother.

- No need, bro. - It's fine! I'll carry it!

What's this, brother?

- So tell me. - How's the setup?

Superb, man!

Two rows of string lights there,

brand new colored bulbs on this side,

and multicolored tube lights all over there.

- Multicolored? - It's going to be full of color.

Forget all that, man.

Run the lights all the way to the road.

Guests should be able to walk safely. No snakes or insects.

- Okay, brother. - Hold this.

I'll take it.

- We'll line the lights along the lane. - Okay. Do it.

By the time you come back, it'll look like a full light show.

What's up, kids?

Let me join too.

One, two, three!

Run! Run! You are free!

Run! Run!

- Give him some tea! - Finish it quickly.

- Guests are arriving. - Bro…

- What's this? - Welcome, Jeeva.

- You're still wearing those clothes? - I need to change.

ILAVARASU

You just want to be comfortable, right?

Yeah. It actually feels better.

Listen, man.

Ask Water Tank Murali to give us extra water today.

- A lot of guests are coming. - Bro, the booze is here.

Sure. I'll take care of it.

- Go check on him. - Where do I keep this?

Pour it on my head!

Go put it in the back and get back to work.

Wow! Look at this!

The whole house is buzzing for the wedding,

and you're all sitting here chatting?

Whose gossip is popular today? Tell me too.

Nothing serious. We're also looking for a groom for my daughter.

It would be nice if he were from the same village as Sowmya's groom.

Welcome!

Why are you wearing formal whites for a family wedding?

You could have worn a colored shirt.

The wedding is at 10:30 a.m., right?

Just wait. I'll show up in silk and steal the spotlight.

Alright. How is your mom?

She is doing well. Where's Sowmi?

She's getting ready.

- Still cutting meat? What is happening? - Welcome, Jeeva.

What is going on? Will it be ready on time?

We'll start serving right at 7:00 p.m.

I've been cooking local dishes forever. I'm bored with them,

and you would be too.

So this time, it's international food.

- Tom yum soup, - Yeah?

atho, bejo,

potato kung fu!

No need for all that.

Just marinate the chicken with pepper and roast it. Our people love that.

Right when I am trying to upgrade our village.…

Even his local dishes are not that great, and now he wants to try foreign food.

Big-shot chef!

- Hello! You guys already started? - Hello.

- Welcome. - Welcome, bro.

It's Ilavarasu's daughter's wedding. How could we miss it?

Exactly. Good habits. Carry on.

You're just roaming around. Why not have a drink or two?

Oh, no! I'll have it later!

- There's chilled beer. Want one? - Chilled…

No thanks. Just give me the snack mix.

- Give it to him. - Here.

Enjoy, guys!

Wow! Murali's the only one who actually works in this village!

- How are you? Good to see you. - All good.

- Brother, I have a request. - Go ahead.

You know about Ilavarasu's daughter's wedding, right?

Yes!

It would be great if you could give them extra water.

Extra water?

- That will turn into a big problem. - Why?

Mani will complain to the office. I'll lose my job!

He's just waiting for a chance.

Don't worry. I will handle Mani.

Would a couple of liquor bottles make you feel better?

Look at that smile! Come on, shake on it.

Take a few bottles

and release the water, okay?

- Here's something to eat with it. - Thank you!

Thyagu, give him a few liquor bottles.

Okay.

MANI

Hey!

Do all the washing and cleaning within this boundary.

Don't cross this hibiscus plant!

If you do, he'll not let me sleep.

See that?

It's his daughter's wedding tomorrow morning.

If my daughter were alive, I'd have married her off happily, too.

This is all fate left for me.

Drink it.

CHELLAPPAN

BRIDE SOWMYA

Hello?

Hello.

Hello, wifey.

Just 200 kilometers left before I crash into your life.

I'll be there in a jiffy.

You've already come this far?

- How's the journey? All good? - Yeah.

The trip's fine. How's everything there?

- All good here. - Alright.

What juice do you want?

Wait a second.

Sowmi, which color do you like?

Pink, right?

Why?

Just tell me. What color do you like?

Parrot green.

Bro, give me a juice in parrot green color.

Parrot green?!

Mom,

if he keeps stopping the bus and calling her,

how will we ever reach the venue?

I sent you a photo on WhatsApp. Did you see it?

No. I just got back from a bath.

Nothing much. I just applied a Multani clay face pack.

I looked good afterward,

so I sent you a selfie.

Can you send me your selfie too?

You're always on the phone!

Mom, watch your step. Can you slow down a bit?

Who are you talking to?

Always on the damn phone!

I'm talking to my lover.

Planning to elope with him!

- Wait, I'll tell your groom about this! - Elope! Yes!

Crazy! He's losing his mind over the girl.

The wedding is tomorrow. Can he not wait?

Get him back on the bus.

Hold this. He's standing in the middle of the road and going on and on.

Stop arguing. Go to Maya and get your makeup done.

Guests have started arriving.

- Don't go alone. Take someone with you. - Okay!

Who was that? Your mom?

Yes.

You called me your lover, right?

Yes.

Anyway, you'll have to elope with me.

Alright, I'll call once I reach your village.

Send me the venue location, okay?

Okay.

What's this, bro?

I was on the phone and just got here…

I see. Are you not coming?

Yes. I'll just grab some juice and…

Juice?

Your wedding is tomorrow.

- Get back on the bus. - Okay, okay!

My wedding… Check if the road's clear.

Driver, start the vehicle.

What's this? You were so happy going out,

and now you look annoyed coming back.

Nothing like that, man.

We're heading for something auspicious. Should we not be on time?

Did you just switch personalities?

Dear Mom, please stop it!

No more stops, driver! Go straight to the hotel.

My wedding is tomorrow. Play a peppy song.

Everyone, stay cheerful. Stay cheerful.

Uncle, stay cheerful!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Sowmi…

I saw you from a distance and knew it was you.

I confirmed it when I saw your hair.

Full makeup, looking glamorous.

I'll not get to see you after you get married.

Has the groom started from his place?

It's really far, you know?

I hope he doesn't run into any accidents.

Don't worry, okay?

Hey, you! Do you not get it?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I'll hit you if you follow me again.

He'll never change.

ONE-SIDED LOVER, PAALRASU

- Your dad invited me. - Does it hurt?

I'll see you tonight.

Hey, tilt it a bit.

WEDDING KANNIYAPPAN - SOWMYA

Wow! Nail polish!

Sowmya!

Look at the bride!

All set to leave our village?

Welcome, Mr. Jeeva Rathinam.

You could've come yesterday!

We have four voters at home. Don't forget.

That's why I came! I'll be here from now on.

Looks like the groom called you.

Your face is glowing!

Yes, he did. He asked me to share the location.

I've sent him the location.

No need to worry until your groom steps onto the stage.

I'll make sure everything goes smoothly. Okay?

Alright, show me your hand.

This is for you.

A gift from me, your brother. I didn't check the weight.

- What's this? - I just bought something for you.

Go to the goldsmith later and exchange it for whatever you like.

Hey, enough with the emotions.

The Muthu Dance Troupe from Melur is here.

Songs, dance, full blast mode!

Smile like a blooming flower That blushes at a touch

Apply the sandalwood So the fragrance spreads

Whoa! Whoa! Look at her blushing!

Lock away your longing tonight Tomorrow will be chaos

Joyfully

Cheerfully

Royally

You must bid adieu

Hey. Where are you going?

Going out with a friend.

I know exactly where you're going.

If your dad finds out…

They came together as one

We'll see.

We must see your face Adorned with sandalwood paste

Oh, sweet lump of jaggery, when I see you

My heart rises with joy

Take this for now. I'll bring another bottle later.

I'll start slow. Bring some appetizers.

- Okay, okay. - Come back quickly, okay?

Okay.

Rush for the first seat at the feast

Give the gifts, let traditions flow

Meet the relatives you know

The whole town comes, a united show

Oh, pearl-like beauty, gem so rare

A living work of art beyond compare

With power and energy, loud and bright

Beat the wedding drums until morning

Sing with all our might

Joyfully

Cheerfully

Royally

You must bid adieu

Smile like a blooming flower That blushes at a touch

Apply the sandalwood So the fragrance spreads

Whoa! Whoa! Look at her blushing!

Joyfully

Cheerfully

Royally

You must bid adieu

Joyfully

Cheerfully

Royally

You must bid adieu

He's gone.

Hey, shake the coconut and check if there's water inside.

Okay. This one?

That's tender coconut. Don't put it inside.

All of them look small.

Brother, please come here.

Jeeva, look what the coconut seller did.

He put the big coconuts out and hid the small ones inside.

- Call him and scold him! - Forget the coconuts. Please come here.

- What's the matter? - Please come.

Well…

The thing is…

I'm at a wedding venue,

and when I hear about a death,

I don't know how to handle it.

We elected you as the Panchayat president to handle situations like this.

As president, you must attend all kinds of functions.

Go there and come back quickly.

- Okay. - Without you, it'll be a mess here.

Who died, and where?

- Here. Nearby. - Nearby?

Oh, my dear father, you left us!

Oh, Father!

Oh, no! Father…

Why did you turn off the song? Play it.

Uncle Chellappa…

passed away.

Oh, you naughty boy, come to my door

Hey, no!

Step inside Feel my scent and more!

Seriously? That's the song you picked?

How can we dance without music?

I'll beat the hell out of you! Scram!

Did the oldie kick the bucket?

He had to die on the eve of my daughter's wedding?

Could he not have picked another day?

Brother, death isn't in our control.

You don't know anything.

He probably let his father die by not giving him his medication.

What are you even saying?

Please don't say such things.

- What a mess! - Brother, please come here.

You want Sowmi's wedding to go smoothly, right?

Everything will be fine. I'll talk to Mani.

- Please be calm. - Come on. Let's shout.

We want music! We want music!

Hey!

Shut up!

Look at what's happening.

The loser died just to ruin my peace!

Hey! Do you know what happened?

Our Chellappa passed away.

Poor guy! Died so young.

Okay.

Uncle, why are you following me? Please go!

- Go. - I didn't say anything wrong.

He's not answering the phone.

Mani's father passed away. Kindly maintain calm.

- Tell me, brother. - Hey!

I called you urgently, but you didn't answer!

Where the hell were you?

The music was too loud, brother. I didn't hear the call.

What happened?

Okay, where's Akhil?

He's drinking here.

Bring him home right now.

Brother, only two drinks to go.

We'll finish up quickly and come.

Hey! Get here immediately!

Cut the nonsense! Are you coming, or do I have to drag you here?

What happened? Is there a problem?

His grandfather passed away.

Oh, poor guy!

Akhil's grandfather died?!

Brother…

How can you just sit there?

We need to handle the arrangements.

I'll get a car.

Take him to the hospital and

get confirmation from the doctor.

Then we can plan the funeral.

What confirmation do you need?

He was strong, built like a tank.

Look at him. He's gone.

See.

My father has passed away.

Alright. I'll inform everyone.

Should we do the funeral procession tomorrow evening?

My father's procession will begin at 10:30 a.m.

No.

It'll be my Lord's chariot procession.

It should be grand, like a festival.

Jeeva, you're family.

You must lead it.

But the wedding next door is also at 10:30 a.m.,

and it is at their house.

What are you even saying, Jeeva?

What's a wedding compared to this?

According to ritual, the groom ties the first knot.

The people behind the bride tie two more.

Then comes the garland exchange.

But it is different here.

The whole village gathers,

and garlands are placed at my father's feet.

Listen. My father has not died.

He has attained samadhi and become a deity.

But Sowmi's marriage--

Listen.

Don't say another word.

I need to grieve and remember my father.

Please don't disturb me. Go.

Please leave.

If you have any compassion, ask them to reschedule the wedding.

Hey.

Go ask Swarna Aunty what needs to be done next.

Death… wedding.

Wedding… death.

Thyagu bro!

Oh, God!

Bro…

Bro… Chellappa…

- What happened? - Chellappa…

Did you get into some trouble?

You keep drinking here

while there's a huge commotion going on over there.

What happened?

You know the retired oracle, Chellappa?

Yes.

He passed away.

- What are you saying? - When?

Just now. But that's not the main issue.

Mani says he wants to hold the funeral procession

at the exact time of the wedding, 10:30 a.m.

- Oh, no. - Hey.

So one side goes wham, the other goes bam,

creating total chaos.

Exactly.

I don't know what to do.

- Please don't step on my sandals. - Sorry, brother

You may be the king at the wedding house,

but I'm the king at the mourning house.

May the departed soul merge gently with the wind.

May the body return to the eternal embrace of the five elements.

May the soul rest at the feet of the divine.

As the Lord wills.

As the Lord wills.

As the Lord wills.

Why is the body lying like this?

Sister, go get a lamp.

Bring some betel leaves.

- Get a cloth as well. - What? Okay!

- And you… - From where?

Oh, I see! Got it! From there!

Why are you sitting idle, oldie?

Start crying!

- Oh no! He left us! - That's the perfect mourning house vibe.

- He left us! - Brother,

how are the rest of the arrangements?

Thavidu.

Everything must be done properly tomorrow morning.

Fine. As you say.

- Hold him tightly. - Careful.

- Careful! - Watch out.

- Careful. - Align the head to the north!

- Watch out. - Toward the north, brother.

He looked light like a doll, but he's actually very heavy.

He's not a doll! He's my father!

- Sorry! - Like that. Move.

Hold him. Go!

My hand hurts!

You asked us to prepare country chicken soup for you,

and you left us.

You left without even drinking it.

If you had held the sickle and appeared as the oracle one last time,

how nice that would have been.

Look. People have already started coming.

Should we also go to Mani's place?

How can we go dressed like this?

Let's go home, change, and then come back.

We're already running late.

Wait a second.

Should we leave now?

Smarty!

They didn't add cashews to the dessert, right?

I thought I missed them.

- Same for you? - Uncle!

Uncle!

My dear uncle!

I see a hotel.

Left! Left! Stop on the left.

Left! Left! Left!

Hit the brakes!

Hey! Why stop at this hotel?

Half the people with us have diabetes or high blood pressure.

Shouldn't we feed them on time?

I'm hungry too.

My father-in-law is preparing

all kinds of Chinese food for us. Tom yum soup, Szechuan rice.

Ever heard of potato kung fu?

- Potato-- - Ever seen it?

- Potato kung fu? - Yes!

Start the bus, brother.

Make do with the biscuits for now.

Kung fu later.

Wake up, Akhil!

Is this called drinking in moderation?

- Get up, man. - Please wake up! My hand hurts!

We need to go home now.

Akhil…

Even Jeeva bro is calling.

I want to drink more!

We have to leave now. Get up.

If you don't, there will be a problem.

A problem?

What problem?

Akhil…

Please understand. There's some trouble at your house.

That trouble will spill over into my house too.

Come on, man.

A procession?

What did he do to deserve a procession?

He was a rowdy for 35 years.

He spent ten years in jail as well.

Later, he picked up a sickle and called himself an oracle.

And now he wants a chariot procession for him?

Great logic!

If he had died a couple of days earlier,

Mani would have dumped him in the graveyard.

- But he dies today, - He's smart.

and suddenly Mani wants a chariot procession.

- Thyagu, please come. - Yeah.

- I need to discuss something. - Go.

- Go. - Come here.

The thing is…

The fan isn't working, and it's very hot.

Hey, boy!

Listen. Who could have expected this?

Then you handle it.

Ask them to store the body in a freezer.

I arranged this wedding with the entire village involved.

The groom is already on his way from Marthandam.

And now he wants a chariot procession in the middle of all this?

My daughter is getting married tomorrow at exactly 10:30 a.m.,

even if I have to kill someone.

One person is already dead.

No need to add another.

If you want, I can try talking to him once again.

And one more thing.

Whatever it is, just tell me.

Don't blab to those random folks snooping at your window!

- He's talking about us. - I'll go talk to him.

Oh, light of our village! You've left us!

Oh, no! Aunty, wrong house!

Go there! It's that house!

Come on, he'll notice.

Keep crying and go that way.

Please drop him home somehow.

I'm off.

Hey! Hey! Take him gently.

He tricked us!

Hey! Check if I stink.

Listen.

You'll stink if you drink.

Go.

Your relatives are here. Go take a seat.

I feel like the floor is moving!

Then move along and go!

Come on, let's go.

Savithri, your son's here.

Where had you been all this time?

Did it rain? You look drenched.

Look at your grandson! Your dear grandson!

Look at his innocent face!

Grandpa…

Brother.

A wedding party booked rooms, right? It's us.

- You? - Yes.

But the bride's family left just now. Didn't the groom come?

Groom…

Don't I look like a groom to you?

Sowmya weds Kanniyappan.

I am the groom.

Three rooms booked, and only two of you…

How are we gonna fit all these people in here?

Forget that.

Where's the food?

Food? What food?

Nobody gave any food here.

"What food?"

They were supposed to bring it from the bride's house.

Didn't they bring it yet?

No food, he says!

Nobody informed me.

Nobody told you?

Kanni… they didn't bring food, he says.

Tell me the truth.

Did they say they'd bring food?

Hey, food will come.

Food will come for all of us.

The celebration is happening there, you know?

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

This must be eight feet.

Do one thing.

Get Grandpa's photo from Mani's wife,

and go straight to Roja Flex Shop. Tell him I sent you.

Ten by ten-- No. Twelve by ten feet.

Put Grandpa's photo in the center,

pictures of eyes on each side,

add tears flowing from the eyes.

- Print that flex. - Okay.

Dig a hole next to this

and set the flex in full style.

In full style! Okay, bro.

Send the car for the frame, okay?

Brother, who is he? Big shot leader, it seems!

He goes there, says he'll handle it. He comes here, says he'll handle it.

Handle what, though?

He can't handle anything.

This will work only if we talk to them the right way.

I'll talk to him and get this done right away.

Brother, what he said makes sense.

Let Thyagu talk to him.

We'll go with him too.

What do you say?

A temple festival took place at Pidari Amman Temple every year.

With anklets on his feet, holding a sickle,

my father would sway to the beats.

Pressing his toes on the soil, he'd jump high!

His head would hit the skies.

I know. I've heard that sound too.

Your father was a great man.

I've seen him since childhood too.

Even the Lord's chariot starts only after his sermons.

I see him as a deity.

Not just me.

The whole village sees him as a deity.

Brother, as you said,

we must take him around the village on a chariot.

That's the respect he deserves.

It's our duty.

So I'll do one thing.

Karagattam set, chariot decor, Tharai Thappattai, fireworks,

I'll arrange all of it.

Don't worry about the cost, I'll take care of it.

Set up a ceremonial tent in front of the temple.

No, never mind.

Let's do it in front of your house.

We must inform the whole village.

They would want your father's final blessings, right?

Can we do it at 12:30 p.m.?

I know Mani very well.

He's planning something using his father.

Right? Let's plan ahead.

Let's take the old man's body and place it on the water tank.

We'll return it after the marriage. How's that?

I'll smack you! Enough of your stupid ideas!

The tank would be risky.

Take him into the woods.

Correct, bro.

What are you saying?

Devotees should come to the deity.

Should we make the deity wait for devotees?

Anyone who comes before 10:30 a.m. is enough for me.

The Lord's chariot procession will not wait for anyone.

It's just an hour.

Listen.

I recall memories with my father since I was five.

I'm nine now.

Father took me to Pazhani on Thypooyam for head shaving.

I'm estranged from him. He's looking for me now.

Where did you go, leaving your child behind? Oh no!

Easy. The poor kid's looking for his dad.

I'm tolerating all this for my daughter's wedding.

Let him deny Jeeva's request.

I know what to do then.

Okay. Keep looking for your father. Let me know if you find him.

MOURNING THE PASSING OF T.M. CHELLAPPAN

They could've at least Photoshopped a shirt onto his photo!

We saw a hotel, but didn't get any food!

He brought all these people, and left them starving!

My mom has diabetes and blood pressure issues.

I don't know what's going on in his mind!

Didn't I tell you back then? To get food from that place?

You brought all these people here and left them starving!

Tom yum soup, atho, bejo, Szechuan rice…

- Potato kung fu! - Ask him!

Stop it!

You've been going on forever!

I'm here too, right?

As if I ditched you all and went for a feast!

Wait. I'll call her.

Okay. Call her!

- Mom, food's coming. - He can't do a damn thing!

Hello. Have you reached?

Yes. Did you have food?

Not yet. I have to. Did you eat?

We haven't had anything either.

Okay, go eat then. Bye.

Hello! Hello!

There's nothing here to eat. Your dad said he'd send us food.

Everyone's starving here.

Please send it fast!

Oh. Alright. Let me talk to dad.

Food's coming, right?

Please come inside.

Listen carefully.

Don't invite unnecessary trouble and ruin my daughter's wedding.

Your daughter? She's my daughter too.

You talk like I killed that old man!

Hey!

Will the food come or not?

Food, right? It will come. Go take a bath.

Everyone, go now.

Will it come or not?

This is my house. My daughter's wedding will happen here.

Go to the kitchen and don't worry about this.

I know how it goes.

Remember what happened last time?

Do you want to fight again and die?

Good Lord! I'll leave, you carry on with your nonsense.

Just go! Let me be at peace for once!

Both of you, out. Let me breathe in peace!

Hey.

You get married tomorrow, say goodbye, and leave.

I'll be the one dealing with these people.

Just focus on your wedding.

I won't do anything to tarnish my status.

Then to uphold your status, send food for the groom's family.

Food--

You lecture me without sending food? Move!

Sanjay! Sanjay!

The men in this house are demons, they just don't have horns!

WEDDING CEREMONY KANNIYAPPAN SOWMYA

MOURNING THE PASSING OF T.M. CHELLAPPAN

- Turn the lights on! - How's it? Superb?

What superb? Look at that house. See how lit it is.

That place is full of colorful lights.

But only white lights here. Why?

My God!

Killing your own father to trouble your neighbor?!

- Brother… - Never heard anything like this!

Oh my!

I don't know what to do!

What is he saying?

Will he do the final rites now or put him at the morgue?

Brother, 7:30 a.m. is another auspicious slot.

But if you insist on 10:30 a.m., we can have the wedding at the temple.

I'll arrange everything.

- I'll talk to the groom's family too. - Oh!

So, now you're on his side!

How did he change your mind? We're all one, remember that.

Why talk about his side and your side?

I'm not taking sides. I want both to happen peacefully.

- Can you do it? - Hey!

Why should we change the timing? Didn't I tell you earlier, brother?

He's all talk, no action.

Hey, I've been watching, you poke your nose into everything.

Just go and do your job.

- Go! - Hey! Panchayat president!

- What? - Hey! Stop it!

Come with me.

What else? Mani's at home, saying he's in Pazhani searching for his father.

Then he's in Tirupati buying laddoos!

And you insist the wedding happens here, right on schedule.

I'm torn between you two, totally clueless what to do.

You know, all my family events, good or bad,

happen right here at my house.

You know how many grooms I rejected for wanting an auditorium wedding?

Just because that oldie died, you want me to change the venue too?

I get it, brother.

If this wedding doesn't happen, I will commit suicide.

I don't want to be embarrassed in public.

I'd rather end my life.

What is this, brother?

One moment you want to kill him, and the next you want to end your own life.

Can't you think straight and talk calmly?

Jeeva… I'm alive today just to see this day.

Once my daughter's wedding is done, I can die in peace.

That man's dead, ashes by tomorrow morning.

But this is a wedding. A new life is about to begin.

Please support me in this.

Don't plead in front of me.

Pushpa akka! Pushpa akka!

Please come here.

Brother…

Please call Kalyani akka.

Hey, Kamachi.

Call Kalyani.

Call Kalyani.

Kalyani, he's calling you.

Please come here.

Pushpa akka, Kalyani akka.

Your husbands are going after each other.

I've been running between houses trying to calm them down.

I'm exhausted.

Please suggest a way out.

Kalyani, the groom's family is already here.

Sowmya's like a daughter to you too, right?

So what if the men fight? We're one family, right?

- I'll fall on your feet-- - Oh, no!

What are you doing?

You think I don't want to see Sowmya get married?

I don't know if he'll listen to me or not.

I'll talk to him for your sake.

- Okay? - Yes.

Enough, akka. Enough.

Both events will go fine if we stick together.

Uncle, what do you say?

You're right about everything.

I wanted to ask you something.

Which family are you from?

I see you at both the houses.

Go away now!

Brother, we need to decide on this.

Didn't I already tell you my decision?

It's about a girl's life!

What about my father then?

Brother, all I asked was to postpone the ceremony by two hours.

Your feud is ruining that girl's life.

I, too, had a daughter, you know?

Had Poorni been here, she would've taken charge of this entire wedding.

Ease up a bit now, and your father will be happy.

Otherwise, it'll reflect badly on you.

Listen to him, man. Those who make sacrifices never suffer.

Everyone's waiting for your permission.

Kalyani akka says the same. Right?

Listen. He makes a fair point.

Sowmi's like a daughter to us, just like Poorni.

Why are you being so stubborn, Dad? Everyone is requesting you.

Him and his newfound love for his father!

It seems like everyone has discussed it and decided.

What's left for me to say? Do as you wish.

It's not like that.

I'll make sure your father's funeral goes smoothly.

You just nod and say yes.

You did a noble thing.

Thank you.

Instead of enjoying the drama,

why not go inside and at least blow the conch?

Don't step on my sandals, man!

His sandals!

Okay.

Are we blowing the conch now?

Will he dare say no?

He knows who I am.

- Hey, Thyagu. Tell everyone to eat. - Okay.

Go eat, guys.

- Where's Sowmi? - She's inside.

- Tell everyone to eat. - I'll bring them all.

Please eat.

- Please eat. - Come, set the table.

Everyone, go eat.

Go wash your face now.

Come, Sowmi.

What's this, Mom?

Is this really resolved, or are they pretending?

My dear father, you've left us!

Oh God!

Father…

Our Lord…

Father…

Oh Lord!

Mom, what is he doing?

Who knows!

Please forgive me, Father!

Father…

Father…

Hey, catch him!

- Come, Mom. - Go, follow him!

Hey, serve the gravy.

Brother…

Chellappa's spirit has possessed Mani. He's in a trance.

Come and see what's happening.

At 10:30 a.m.!

Has the chaotic carnage begun?

Is the dark fate closing in?

Did the Beast of Death cast a glare?

Has the panic exploded out there?

Even if the Earth splits This hate won't end

The apocalypse is coming Just wait till then

WEDDING CEREMONY KANNIYAPPAN SOWMYA

NANJI AND ACCOMPLICES

What's this?

10:30 a.m.

I must leave at 10:30 a.m.

Will you take my chariot at the right time?

We'll do as you say, Lord!

All kinds of trees!

All kinds of mountains!

I circled every sacred tree, every holy mountain, every god, every temple.

After all my penance, I bore my precious son.

Where is my son? Where is my son?

- My son! - He's right here!

- Dad… - You call me your dad?!

You fool! I asked you where your father is!

- Where's your father? - It's you, Dad.

What?! I'm your father?! I'm your grandfather, boy!

Did you forget your own grandfather?

No…

When you couldn't even pee properly,

I was the one who taught you how!

Have you forgotten me?

- Dad… - Kalyani, it's your father-in-law!

- Ask him what he wants. - Just stay quiet.

Father-in-law…

Father-in-law…

- Father-in-law… - Daughter-in-law!

Who gave your husband the right to make promises to the villagers?

Was he born to them or to me?

- Father-in-law-- - Hey!

Postponing my funeral without asking me?!

Brother, he's coming this way! Run!

Please listen to me!

- Dear… - Where's my home's deity?

Where's the hibiscus plant my granddaughter rests under?

These are not mere hibiscus flowers!

This is my granddaughter's blood!

Four years ago, my dear granddaughter left us.

She's all alone there now. I'm her grandpa!

At 10:30 a.m., I must go and join her!

I have to be with my granddaughter!

10:30 a.m.

10:30 a.m.

10:30 a.m.

10:30 a.m.

Nice!

I won't be at peace until I stand in front of the mirror and click a picture.

The groom material is here!

Turn off the lights!

Is it already dawn?

It's only midnight, man!

Why are you all dressed up?

Heading out already?

No, I just tried on my wedding outfit once.

Wanted to check if the fit and size were right.

How many times have you tried that shirt on at home already?

Still not satisfied?

It used to make my belly look big.

I dieted for two days and trimmed it down nicely. See?

- Now don't I look like a groom? - Sure.

Hold your breath tight!

And go sit in a corner.

Tomorrow morning, we'll load you into a car.

Don't lie down, the shirt will wrinkle.

I know that.

Hey, take a photo of me.

Not a call, not even a message.

I've no clue what's happening there!

Come on, hurry up!

Here you go.

Come on, man, click the photo!

The market, the school, the bus stand! Wherever we look, it's his face.

It's driving me nuts.

In any case, Thavidu's losing again.

His master plans never work.

It's time for the next generation to step in.

Yes, that's me.

Brother Chellappa's house?

One second, I'll call you back.

What?

Here… Brother Chellappa's…

Who? The man who died two hours ago?

That one?

How can you say "died" so casually? He's not some goat or cow.

He was a human being.

A godly man!

He was my brother!

Where's his house?

Up there…

I'll shred you to pieces!

Rascal!

Dear, your uncles are here.

Brother, we bought this for you.

Now…

Who will drink it now?

Brother…

Brother… look at me.

It's me, Nanji.

It's my fault. I didn't come see you until now.

The last time we met, you told me one thing.

To stop fighting and get a proper job.

I've left all that rowdy stuff behind and now earn daily wages.

But you're not alive to see it.

You did so much for all of us…

but we never did a single thing for you.

Forgive me, brother.

Brother…

Who are these guys?

They hit you?

The dead senior's younger brothers.

Big-time criminals.

Now they're working in some quarry to survive.

Just wait and watch, this is going to explode!

Which lunatic called these lunatics here?

- I did. - You lunatic!

For your entertainment, you set Mani's house on fire.

Everything will go just as great as your "good heart."

I'm holding a glass Why is that?

I'm lost in my thoughts Why is that?

When he used to come as the deity, the festival was on another level.

Who'll carry it on now?

Brother, something feels off here.

I feel it too.

A man next door just passed away.

These guys have put up serial lights and are dancing like nothing happened!

Shouldn't they show a bit of respect?

Oh no, brother, that's not it.

The wedding was planned earlier. The death happened later.

Didn't the leader say to postpone the wedding by two hours?

But Mani refused.

Chellappa himself came as the deity,

and ordered the funeral to be held at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.

- What can they do before that? - Exactly.

Whatever the problem may be,

our brother himself came as the deity and said it.

We'll leave only after we pay our respects to him,

- once all the rituals are done. - Alright.

Brother, look who's here.

The caste union leader.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

As if all this wasn't enough, he's shown up too.

Watch now.

He's definitely going to say, "Elections are coming."

- Most of the crowd here is ours anyway. - How are you, brother?

- Welcome, brother. You good? - I'm fine.

What's wrong? You look dull.

Brother, someone has died here. How can I act cheerful?

I heard everything. Moorthy told me the whole thing.

Funeral rites can't be postponed.

A wedding can happen anytime.

There are four auspicious dates this month alone.

You can have the wedding on any of them.

Elections are close. We have a lot of our supporters here.

We can add more if we try.

No chaos should break out.

Tell that to Ilavarasu.

You understand what I mean, right?

- I do, brother. - Handle things carefully.

- I'll get going now. - Alright, brother.

Come on.

If anything goes wrong, the blame comes to us.

I thought it would end peacefully.

But looking at this, there's no end in sight.

Something bad is coming.

Either Mani or Ilavarasu…

Don't know who'll make it!

Hope both don't end up dead!

Something bad is coming.

Either Mani or Ilavarasu…

Tomorrow morning is our deity's chariot festival.

I must send my father off to heaven at 10:30 a.m.

If you want to join your dad, go on!

Lie next to him and stare at the sky!

Dad!

Dad!

Why did you leave me alone?

10:30 a.m.!

You're like our own.

You must stand by me.

Take charge and make sure it all goes smoothly.

- 10:30 a.m. - Get lost!

You're like our own. You must stand by me.

10:30 a.m.

I must send my father off to heaven at 10:30 a.m.

You must stand by me.

Give me the firewood shop guy's number.

We have to start the funeral early, so we need everything arranged now.

- We'll have to do it ourselves! - That's a lot of work.

9834…

98…

34…

You've been itching to light the fire since you came.

No, nothing like that!

I swear on my mother, I didn't mean anything.

Believe me.

Fine, you won't. Tell me the number.

- 26415. - 26…

- 415. - 415.

And then?

Those rowdy guys outside, you brought them, right?

What joy do you get out of this?

What's wrong with that? When someone dies,

we have to call relatives, right?

Is that such a big deal?

You can't postpone a wedding for a funeral.

Nor postpone death for a wedding.

Even if we want to postpone something, neither side would agree.

If you stay out of this, the wedding will happen for sure,

and I'll handle the funeral too.

Do you really think I'll let you play the hero so easily?

What's this?!

Here…

You said nine digits, right?

Tell me the last one and I'll mind my business.

I won't. Figure it out yourself.

Get lost!

You don't even have one useful phone number,

and you're playing politics!

Look at his face!

Want me to show you the kind of politics I play?

No chance! We won't postpone it at all!

- If he says 10:30 a.m., that's final! - That's right!

- Unnecessarily… - Creating drama in a grieving household!

Grandpa, are you watching this?

He says he won't let the funeral happen in the morning!

Hey, Thavidu! Act smart again, and I'll break your arms and legs!

Then let's see where you go begging for votes.

You won't even vote for yourself!

Hey, Panchayat! Trying to boss around?

And who are you?

Aren't you the so-called village head? Go do some public service.

- We'll handle things here. - I'll decide that.

Tell me, who are you?

Pandi, looks like the boy doesn't know who we are. Poor thing!

Exactly! That's what I asked.

I have no clue who you people are.

So, you won't leave until you know who I am?

Doesn't matter who you are. I'm not leaving.

Who are you people?

Who are you?

I've never even seen you! Where were you all this time?

Did your love suddenly surface just because your brother died?

- Get lost from here! - Hey, Pandi!

Hey, don't hit my son!

My father passed away, and my uncle is all I have left.

If you're getting married tomorrow, who'll conduct the wedding?

- Forgive me, Uncle. - He's our blood after all.

- It's okay, let it go. - Hey!

- What happened? - Akhil, go inside.

Hey!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

You crossed the hibiscus hedge to come here?

How dare you step in?

You're not allowed here.

- Go! Get out! - Dear!

Why did you step into that yard?

Did you step in filth? Go and wash your feet!

What? Filth?

Hey! Dig a four-foot pit where he was standing

- and fill it with fresh sand. You idiot! - What are you saying?

You know what his real problem is? He's trying to stop my daughter's wedding.

His daughter jumped into the tank and died,

leaving the whole village without water.

- Brother… - And now, holding onto that grudge,

he's creating drama to stop my daughter's wedding.

If she wanted to die, she could've taken poison!

Why jump into the village water tank?

I'll rip your tongue out, you wretched man!

- Dad… - No, brother.

- Listen… - How did my daughter die?

Tell me, how did she die?

What was bothering her?

Senior, are you really his brother?

Because that was a notorious issue.

You spread nonsense about my daughter everywhere!

The rumor spread like wildfire!

She couldn't bear the humiliation, that's why she died!

- Brother… - I'll kill you, damn it!

One more word about my daughter, and you're dead!

This Ilavarasu…

One day, he went near the water tank to pee.

There, he saw a boy and-- What was the girl's name?

- Poorni. - Yeah, Poorni.

He saw them together.

Then he rushed to Mani's house and created a huge scene.

The whole village heard about it, and it became the talk of the town.

Everyone knew your daughter was roaming with a boy!

Then go kill the whole village!

He spread rumors about my daughter…

You know what villagers are like.

They see a tiny snake and spin stories of an anaconda.

Within a week, they even said the girl was pregnant!

That poor girl! God knows what crossed her mind.

She jumped into the tank and ended her life.

I consider my daughter a deity now.

Say one more word to stop the wedding, and I'll kill you!

Before that, I'll kill you and bury you next to my father!

In what world does a man die and return as a deity in half an hour?

If the dead come back, they're called ghosts!

And these fools are enjoying this lunatic's drama!

Even if the sky falls,

I'll perform my father's funeral at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow.

Did you hear this lunatic? Go on then, try it!

- Stop it. - Let's see you carry him at 10:30 a.m.!

- Dear… - Stop!

Stop!

- Stop! - How unfair! Get lost, you!

If another fight breaks out over my wedding,

I swear I'll jump into that tank and die too!

Then you can put up a stone for me too, right next to a hibiscus plant!

I've realized one thing. No one here cares about my wedding.

Or about his funeral.

All you care about is your hatred!

Don't drag me into it!

Did you hear that?

So what now? At 10:30 a.m. tomorrow--

- We know what to do. - Let me finish talking, please.

You do your ceremony.

And at the same time, let the wedding happen too.

Anyone has a problem with that?

Hey, Thavidu, is there a problem?

Why would I have a problem?

The last digit is eight. Call that firewood shop guy.

Son, after tomorrow's ceremony, we've got some work to do.

Report to the police that you doubt his father's death.

They'll take his father's body away.

- Brother… - Then let's see what he'll do about it.

- Brother, what are you doing? - Hello?

You want to bring the police now? Can't you handle anything sensibly?

So what? You want me to call it off because of him?

No, don't call it off. Go ahead.

All you want is to hold your daughter's wedding

at your house, at the time you chose, right? Go ahead.

At the same time, he will lift father's body onto the chariot.

Any objections?

What's wrong? Lost your nerve?

What's more important to you now?

Conducting your daughter's wedding or stopping their funeral rites?

Why should we care what happens there?

We'll hold our girl's wedding grandly. We'll deal with the rest later.

Just say yes, brother.

Sowmi, why are you crying now?

Everything is finally falling into place.

Be a little brave.

Why did my father bring up Poorni's matter now?

I begged him not to talk about her.

His actions led her life to end that way.

And now he's speaking ill of her again, in front of everyone.

She never did anything wrong.

But these people kept mocking and shaming her until they drove her to death!

I don't want this wedding or anything anymore!

Hey, Sowmi.

Am I doomed to sit here and put up with their nonsense?

This anger in me… I could…

I'm trying to handle all this peacefully only because I thought

at least you could escape from this mad place.

Your groom is a good guy. He'll take good care of you.

He'll come in the morning. Before he arrives, I'll fix everything.

You just stay calm. Please don't cry.

I'll take care of it all. Okay?

Oh, dark-haired beauty, don't leave

Storms fill my eyes My sight blurred by you once more

Won't your voice be heard For a second, my dear?

My unfading hibiscus, my life, so near

The jingle of gold bangles, a fading sound

The lies of this town They shake the ground

You left, and the wind Turned wild and untamed

The rain turned to fire Leaving me inflamed

Rivers don't flow with water But blood in a stream

Divide both homes.

- Okay, brother. - Let a hundred blames apply

Burning Earth meets the pouring sky

Fences rose up, making us strangers Tearing us apart

The wedding pole was raised Hold this moment tight

Even if the wedding drums And rhythm stop tonight

Without a word, come back and unite

So…

you think keeping the families apart will solve everything?

A wedding and a funeral in the same yard.

You don't realize how inauspicious that is.

Go away.

Damn it!

Hello?

Seems like a big celebration is happening there.

You didn't reply to my message. Did you see my photo?

Dawn is almost breaking. I'm already dressed--

Nothing much. There's some issue here. I'll call you back.

What issue can there be?

Someone must have broken a few chairs after drinking!

That happens in every wedding house!

- Not a big deal-- - I am serious!

What happened? Is there a problem?

Can't you understand? Stop asking the same thing!

I can't talk now. Cut the call.

Sowmi, look, they'll never let your wedding happen.

Now listen to me.

Think about it once.

Rather than facing humiliation when the wedding is cancelled,

just come with me.

I'm here, you're here,

and we've got all this jewelry.

Even a nuptial chain to tie the knot.

Shall we run away, Sowmi?

Come, Sowmi…

You don't have to say sorry. Just give me a kiss, Sowmi.

- Just one kiss. - Kiss! Kiss!

- You… - What are you looking for? Your bag?

- I will-- - A knife?!

- Oh my! - Even if my wedding gets called off,

- I swear I'll cut you down! - No!

- I will kill you! - Don't kill your future husband!

- I will kill you! Stop! - I was just trying to give you a life!

Let go of me!

The next song you're about to listen to is…

"Rosappu Chinna Rosappu" from the movie Surya Vamsam.

Enjoy your song.

The bride has run away!

So the wedding won't happen.

Something doesn't feel right over there.

First the wedding issues, and now even she's…

You should stop calling her again and again.

Behaving like this won't make things better.

Look at the time. Go sleep for a bit.

You've got to leave early tomorrow, right?

Everything was just starting to fall into place.

For someone like me, getting married itself is a big deal.

I've met so many prospective brides.

Did anyone agree to marry me?

Even our own relatives wouldn't marry their daughters to me.

She was the only one who said yes after seeing my photo.

For '90s kids, getting married itself is a miracle.

You 2K kids will never get that feeling.

Bro, whether it's the '90s or 2K, feelings are the same.

Oh, shut up! You talk like you know everything!

Have you even thought about your bride, even once?

She has just one day left with her parents.

She's giving all that up to be with you tomorrow.

Have you thought about that even once?

You're just posing for photos and showing off your outfit.

You're a lunatic, man!

I didn't think of any of that.

Should I call her and say sorry?

Weren't you listening to anything I just said?

Dude, I'm seriously stressed.

I'm going to get a cup of tea.

Keep an eye on the kid, okay?

Okay.

Sowmi?

Check behind the cupboard.

Where could she be?

Sowmi?

Sowmi?

Sowmi?

Get up, Banu. Sowmi's missing.

Sowmi!

Oh girl…

Sowmi?

Is she a five-year-old to come running just by hearing "Sowmi"?

Who are these people?

What's with all this chaos?

The bride is missing.

Did you see anything?

What's happening? They say the bride is missing.

Oh my! The bride's missing?

Pushpa's daughter is missing!

Where could she be?

Maybe she's in love with someone.

Of course! I've often seen her with a guy.

What are you saying? The bride ran away?

Oh my God! What are you saying? You mean she eloped?

I don't know how Pushpa will bear this!

Chellappa Uncle also left us.

Everyone's leaving one by one!

Uncle!

Uncle! Sowmi is missing. Everyone's looking for her.

Please come.

We searched everywhere. Sowmi's missing.

She's missing?

Just bluff away…

The number you are calling is either switched off or not reachable.

Hey, maybe she climbed the tank like the other girl and…

Hey!

Act your age. Go away.

Brother!

I saw her!

I saw her running away with a guy!

Hey! What the hell are you saying?

Why are you hitting me? I just told you what I saw!

Hit him instead!

- But instead you're… - The jungle is that way.

Sowmi and that loser must have gone that side.

We can catch them if we go now. Let's check.

Come on, guys. Grab the torches.

- We're going into the jungle! - Hurry up!

- Come on, hurry! - Maybe that's what happened.

What?

Maybe she went to the hotel to meet the groom?

Why? It's her wedding tomorrow. The groom will come here.

They probably couldn't wait until morning.

So?

We've got a duty too, Raasu.

We must do something.

Tell him to bring the rickshaw.

- Here! Stop here! - Hey! Stop here.

Wait here.

We'll be back in five minutes.

Hey, where are you going?

He left! Doesn't respect you!

We'll deal with him later.

This way, brother.

Poor guy's asleep.

Right?

Hey, get up!

Which room is the groom's family in?

111, 112, 118, 120…

Hey! Which room is the groom in?

111.

Brother, did any girls come to the groom's room?

Alright, I'll check.

- Come. - Sir! One minute, sir!

Guests are not allowed at this hour, sir.

Why, man? Your hotel feels like a cheap bar,

but you've got five-star rules!

Only he's the guest. I'm with the groom's family.

Wait here, Raasu. I'll be back.

- Sir! He's going as per his rule. - Don't worry. He'll be back soon.

You sit.

Relax, he'll be back soon.

Looks like he specifically asked for this room!

Keep it decent!

Pour it.

You should do stuff like this instead.

After she scolded me, I don't even feel like drinking.

Do one thing. Have both of these.

Oh no! Mom's here! She won't spare us!

She won't let us drink in peace!

Come inside, Arnold. Let's hide.

Are you Sowmya's groom?

Yes. And you are?

Who are you, brother? What do you want?

What are you looking for in the bathroom? Who are you?

I'm Thavidu.

Big shot in this village, sir.

Okay.

- Are you his brother? - Yes.

Go back to sleep.

Kanniyappan, Sowmya's groom…

- That's me. Who are you-- - In short, Sowmya isn't here.

Go to sleep. It's late already.

Hey, come here.

Thavidu or whatever. Who are you? What do you want?

Kanniyappan…

I came from the bride's house.

Don't make a big deal out of it.

She's not the type to elope.

What! The bride eloped?!

Exactly! But you don't worry.

Hundreds of people are searching for her.

She won't go beyond this Panchayat.

You idiot! You upset her so much that she ran away!

Mom! The bride eloped!

Hey, boy!

- Uncle… - Wake everyone up, okay?

Wake up, everyone!

The bride eloped!

I wonder why they named you Kanniyappan.

- Now you come searching too. - What a lie!

Did you wake the kids?

Just bluff away in all your glory

Grandma!

Myna, Nadesan bro! Wake up, everyone!

- Brother! The bride ran away! - What is it?

- What are you saying? - Everyone, come downstairs!

One, two, three, four!

Brother!

Come on, Raasu!

Where's everyone rushing off to?

- Is our job done? - I made them run. Come on!

- You're an expert at that! - Brother…

- What happened, bro? - We'll be right back!

The beloved girl is missing

Just missed!

Mom! You don't need to come with us.

It'll be a huge fight there.

Come on, let's go.

Play some heartbreak songs!

SOWMYA

We can trust a chatterbox girl,

- but never the silent ones. - Sowmi.

Exactly!

The beloved girl is missing

She ran away, oh the drama

Just bluff away in all your glory

Sowmi!

Just bluff away…

Sowmi!

What a lie!

Just bluff away in all your glory

Sowmi… where did you run off to?

It's your wedding tomorrow.

I'll get you married, dear.

Your wedding will happen. I'll make it happen.

Come back.

Hey, arranged the breakfast?

Where's your crew?

Everyone went searching for Sowmya.

Don't bother about it.

Did you make the arrangements for breakfast?

There's still so much food left over from dinner.

Don't know what to do. Sowmya also--

Will you make breakfast only if Sowmya tells you to?

Go do it, man!

Sowmya eloped with someone--

You're a cook, so mind your own business!

- Hey, you! - Please don't hit me!

Sowmya will be back and the wedding will happen!

Stop there! Don't run!

I know nothing! I said it by mistake!

What happened, father-in-law?

Hello. Welcome.

Well… salt.

He added way too much salt!

Where's Sowmi?

Sowmi's here.

Here.

Sowmi, look who's here!

Pushpa, grab a chair!

Please come in, everyone. Come in, groom.

Please come in, everyone!

Looks like he has lost it.

Sowmya is gone.

Sowmya's gone? Where did she go?

Who knows? That's why everyone's searching the backyard.

Backyard? Sowmi!

Sowmi!

So, did you all eat?

Our job is done. Let's leave.

Don't get stressed out.

Uncle, Grandpa.

Everyone, come with me.

Dad…

Did you see this, Dad?

Looks like his daughter has eloped.

Tomorrow, after sending you off properly,

my first job is to tie a loudspeaker to a vehicle,

and go around the whole town announcing that his daughter eloped.

Only then he'll understand my pain.

Let that shameless wretch rot and die!

Brother!

So we'll take the chariot at exactly 10:30 a.m., okay?

Hey!

What are you doing up there on the tree?

I came looking for Sowmi.

Up on the tree?

Sowmi… she's not here!

- Hey! - Come, let's look there!

Stop right there!

Hey, stop!

Where are you running off to?

Where's Sowmi? Tell me!

I saw her just a while ago.

Didn't seem like the wedding was happening.

So I offered to give her a new life with me.

I didn't do anything else!

A new life with you?!

Look at this clown!

Where's Sowmi?

Sowmi… there…

I swear, I don't know anything else. I didn't hurt her!

- Stop right there! - Is it wrong to ask for a kiss?

I'll kill you!

- Don't kill your future husband! - Stop there!

- Just run away with me like this! - I won't spare you!

Sowmi…

Sowmi!

Sowmi!

Sowmi…

Sowmi!

Sowmi…

Sowmi…

Balu! I found Sowmi! She's in this garbage pit!

Hey, guys! Sowmi's in here!

Balu!

Sowmi!

Every nerve and vein is filled with you

Look at me! I'm up here!

Where is she?

Searching and roaming, thinking of you

Running and wandering, longing for you

Saw the rose

- Sowmya… - Joined the beau

Sowmi!

Brother! Sowmi's here!

Brother…

Saw the rose Joined the beau

Brother! Sowmi's in here!

Sowmi!

Hey!

How… how did you get here?

You're not hurt, right? Are you okay?

When I heard you were missing, I got really scared.

Look, I found you.

Don't worry now. Okay?

Don't worry.

It's me, Kanni.

Your Kanniyappan.

Saw the rose

Joined the beau

Love is set, my King, let's go!

Saw the rose

- Joined the beau - Sowmi!

- Love is set, my King, let's go! - Hey…

Romancing in a garbage pit?

It's morning, man! Aren't you supposed to tie the knot?

The whole village is looking for you. Come out.

Come on, out!

Hey, Sanjay! Bring a ladder!

Fell for you, love took flight, my King

The whole town gathers to dance and play

Fireworks booming, leading the way

Only wedding drums from today!

The sacred thread is tied

Our lives are now allied

The pipes are blowing wide

That wretched guy has hidden my daughter somewhere.

To perform the last rites of an old man, you ruined my young daughter's life!

I swear, I'll make your and your father's dead bodies rot right here!

Make the hamlet shake, tap your feet

Dance till the town panics

Scream aloud, scatter the heat

Hey!

I'll deal with him!

Hey!

Hey, when did you come? How did you know she's in the pit?

Because of Arnold.

Arnold? Who's Arnold?

Here. He's Arnold.

Hey!

Where's my daughter?!

Tell me! Where's my daughter?

Has nobody informed Ilavarasu yet?

Where did you hide my daughter? Tell me, where is she?

Tell me where she is!

Let go of it, you!

I'll show you how to use the gun!

Hey, Sowmi…

Go ask the guy she ran off with!

Sowmi, hurry up!

- Drop the gun! - Please! Listen to me!

Hey! Have you lost your mind?

We found your daughter, man!

- Oh no! - Stop! Stop!

Please, no!

Mom, please stop Dad!

Hey, crazy man! Your daughter's right here!

I'll send you and your father off together!

Both of you can go together!

I'll kill you today!

Brother Ilavarasu!

Where did you hide my daughter?

- I won't spare you! - Sowmi! Stop your dad!

Dad! I'm here!

Dad!

Grandpa!

10:30 a.m.

You sinner! Did you kill my dead father again?!

- Hey! - Hey, Pandi! Bring the weapons!

Okay, brother!

Hey! Let go of me! Let go!

Let go!

- Let me go! - Brother!

Move away!

Get away!

Move! Move aside! Go away!

Are you all out of your minds?!

Stirring up chaos in a grieving household!

Are you even human?!

If I lose my cool, none of this will end well!

Tell me, are you even human?!

Fighting like animals!

Hey!

All this mess started because of that wedding, right?

Go ahead, try to conduct the wedding now!

Has the chaotic carnage begun?

Is the dark fate closing in?

Did the Beast of Death cast a glare?

Has the panic exploded out there?

Even if the Earth splits This hate won't end

- What the hell is this?! - The apocalypse is coming, just wait!

Jeeva! Smash him!

Hey, you!

Hey! He killed my deity!

Hey, Kannayya, Mukkayya, Murugesh!

Come on, let's kill him!

Has the chaotic carnage begun?

Is the dark fate closing in?

Did the Beast of Death cast a glare?

"Has the panic exploded out there?"

Even if the Earth splits This hate won't end

The apocalypse is coming, just wait!

Don't let him escape! Kill him!

- Pandi! Bring the weapon! - Brother…

Here you go, brother!

- Don't run away! - Get him!

- Hey, Raasu! - Get lost, man!

Damn your politics! Staying here with you will kill me!

Hey!

Hey! Stop!

Hello! Inspector sir!

A riot has broken out at the Panchayat water tank!

They're throwing bombs, sir!

All this is happening because of Jeeva Rathinam!

Please come soon, sir!

Otherwise, there won't be anyone left to cast a vote!

Okay, okay!

Hey, Raasu!

You can't escape me, wherever you run!

Stop right there!

Stop!

Hey, Pandi! Come here!

Come on, everyone!

Brother…

- Don't let him get away! - Come here, you!

Where are you running?!

Has the chaotic carnage begun?

Is the dark fate closing in?

Did the Beast of Death cast a glare?

Has the panic exploded out there?

Brother, throw him down!

Come on!

Pandi, catch!

Hey!

Balu said,

"People abroad have all sorts of comforts in life.

People abroad

are born in America or Europe.

So they live that way.

That's their good fate.

But you people are born here.

So you'll live like this.

That's your fate."

Careful.

How did he pick such a mad village to get married into?

Who knocked over the water tank?

Careful, don't slip.

- Mom, hold Dad's hand. - Are you okay, dear?

Where's Jeeva?

All that food has gone to waste!

Dad…

Who ever thought it would come to this?

Careful.

Are you okay, dear?

Oh God.

Brother Ilavarasu…

how was the wedding?

You really did throw a grand wedding, just like you promised!

Look at them all, knocked out after the grand feast!

So, did the cash gifts pour in?

Now you won't go looking for a rope to kill yourself, right?

Come on, smile now!

Sowmi…

She's leaving for her new home with her husband.

Send her off with a smile!

Hey!

Brother Mani!

"Ten-thirty! Ten-thirty! Ten-thirty!"

What happened now?

What is the time now?

You finished it before time?

With all the drums, songs, and dancing…

you promised to carry your father on the chariot.

And now? Just look at him, lying in the mud!

- Dad! - Hey, Mani!

Dad…

Don't touch him, or I'll chop your hands off!

Why are you yelling only at me? Wasn't he the one who started it?

So childish!

- Hey, Sanjay. - Brother.

Go bring the water cans bought for the wedding feast.

Why the hesitation?

There are no borders anymore. Let's see who dares stop you. Go on!

Yes, brother.

- Careful. Don't pour water on the wound. - Easy.

Grab a cloth and bandage the wound.

The police will take the body away.

- If they bring it back, light the pyre. - Okay

Hey, you.

Why this drama now?

Go sit in that corner until the cops get here.

At least now, shed a few real tears for your father.

Go.

Go, man!

Does everyone here know this?

Our village is going for a Guinness World Record.

Want to know why?

In the history of Indian entertainment,

no one has ever witnessed a wedding and a funeral this grand!

What have you all done?

Now, if anyone dares come to the Panchayat office

asking for a new water tank or complaining about water…

Sowmi, why are you still here?

Leave this accursed village immediately!

Brother, if Sowmi agrees, I'll take her with me.

We'll get married at the next temple on the way.

Just take her home, brother.

Sowmi…

Don't wait for anyone here. Okay? Just leave.

Forget this village.

If you have children, never tell them about this place.

Has that anger cooled off?

If something's wrong, there's no one at home I can talk to.

All I had was Poorni.

You don't know anything about her.

Why are you still badmouthing her?

She's gone, isn't she? At least now, let her rest in peace.

Depart now, my girl What stands in your way?

Just a brief farewell to say

The town is old, stuck in yesterday

Let this rising tide wash the town clean

Fixing the flaws Washing sins from the scene

For every wrong you did and every good you failed to do…

thanks a lot!

Why did I even come to this house?

POLICE

Like a chained elephant

Man forgets his might

Tamed by a single rope

Hey!

Everyone knows your drama. Just go!

He will change, but just for a while

He will change for a while

Like a flower in a whirlpool You slipped from sight

Like a feather in a storm You took your flight

Look, the whirlpool is drying away

Look, the storm is fading to grey

Go find yourself, realize your truth

Then come back to us Return to Earth

Reach the soil Let your journey bear fruit

In this barren desert, bloom like a flower

Spread your fragrance

And sprinkle water on your own roots

Jeeva, I managed to escape.

Now tell me. Do you think I'm insane?

Looks like you're the only sane person in this village.

Go home. Your mother's looking for you.

VOTE FOR JEEVA RATHINAM

What happened to you?

- Why did he come home like this? - Was he in a fight?

Hello.

Mom…

Mom said all of you would be coming.

Actually, a wedding and a funeral happened at the same time.

That's why my clothes got a little stained.

Mom… where's the girl?

Hello.

My mother must've told you. My name is Jeeva Rathinam

She said you go to a lot of cooking classes.

Don't bother yourself.

Your wedding has been scheduled for January.

- Really? - Yes.

I have a small doubt.

Do any elderly people live near your house?

Elderly people? No.

- Thank God! - Why?

Oh, just curious.

Give me two minutes-- Actually, give me ten minutes.

I'll just go freshen up.

Thank you. Hello.

Sorry. I'll freshen up and be right back.

Please come.

Come.

The water supply has been off since morning!

What kind of Panchayat president are you?
