It all began from a single dot. That’s how this universe started.

Even though this universe has many galaxies like Andromeda, Pinwheel, and Sombrero,

we live in a beautiful one called the Milky Way.

Can a person travel from our Earth to the Milky Way? Definitely not.

A person can't reach physically reach our galaxy, but his desire can. Confused?

Hey everyone, every human being has a wish, right?

So get ready with all the wishes you've had up until now,

and the wall clock in your house

Yes, today is the day for your wishes. If you ask the Universe for your wish tonight at 11:11, it will bring that desire right to you.

Don't forget! I'll be waiting for 11:11 tonight, and you wait with your wishes too. Tata, bye-bye. I am your thandapaani.

Is there still 10 minutes left? Ugh...

Looking from outside, it might seem like a normal home

But to my dad, its his personal military camp

The two people who are trapped as prisoners are myself and my mother

Military means it has rules and regulations

if the rules are not follow, punishment it is

in our house, sorry in our camp

except me and my mother, everyone are soldiers

one who's sitting firm and shaving beard, that's my dad

Major Sundararajan

but that is'nt the issue here

look at the two stripes in my head that's the issue

thinking what's the issue with that

for a problem with no issues, my dad will create a major problem

that's the problem here

Enough with the excuses. Go sit down

Why are you doing this, Sivaji? You know about him, don't you?

I didn't do anything, Mom. The barber is the one who cut it this way. What could I do?

What will he do for the mistake that the barber made?

Alright, there are rules for everything here.

Yes, just as my father says, everything in this house is governed by rules, from 4:30 in the morning until 11 at night.

I've gotten used to it. Because there's no way to escape from it.

You have it, I have it, and she has it

No [MOM, murmuring] He's bragging about this?

[DAD] are there any? Yes, there are Say it louder!

For everything here. There are rules. Do you have any doubt on that?

but how could he cut it like this ? He knows who I am!

I cut it at a different barbershop this time, Dad. He's the one who cut it this way.

You didn't cut your hair at the shop I asked you to?

Oh no !

I don't need these excuses. Everything here must happen according to the rules.

Go,take that rules book!

The Rules book?

No,please. Don't do that. Have pity on him; try to understand

According to me anyone who doesn't follow the rules must be punished.

Everything here must be disciplined.

By using this book, my grandfather raised my father with such discipline.

I'm searching for him only

My father raised me with discipline

I must raise my son with discipline.

This isn't a habit; it's a custom

Go, bring me that rule book

Page no:138 rule number 69

69 ?

Offense: Improper haircut done in an undisciplined manner.

Punishment: 20 lashes with a belt.

Oh no! I don't even know what this punishment is, and he's already lifting the belt!

One minute, Your rule book says punishment must be given for a mistake.

Does it also say it must be given right now? I am asking you ?

So you're saying I shouldn't punish him for it?

We have to go to the temple at dawn. What's the rush to give the punishment right now?

Can't you just give it after a couple of days?

Don't be hasty, just think about it for a bit.

Alright! Now the time is 10.55 and 32 seconds In exactly 10 minutes, the lights in every room must be switched off.

Everyone must be in bed

We are going to the temple tomorrow morning at 4:30. Good Night

Move aside

Let it go,that's all he knew. Don't feel bad about this all. Understood?

Why am I the only one who never gets angry, Mom?

I don't get angry even when I'm innocent.

And even when I try to talk, I can't speak up bravely

That's nothing, really. If you go to the temple, everything will be fine.

But you go to the temple every day, too. Did I change? Did he change? Or did anything change?

Nothing will change

Look at this. All five fingers on our hand aren't the same.

Everyday is different,What if it didn't happen today? It'll definitely happen tomorrow. Believe it.

You have to ask to receive.

First, believe and ask.

Yeah, you always talk about Murugan, Ganesan, and Raman...

If you say any of those stories were done by them, I'd believe you.

Don't just say it'll happen in reality; I'll get really annoyed.

Come here. Come here. If you ask with faith, anything can happen.

Okay, okay, look at the clock. It's 11:05 already

Alright, he may come back. Go to sleep.

We also have to go to the temple tomorrow at 4:30.

Go to bed

Go fast

How many doll should I buy u sara?

You tore this too?

Ask for a new doll or something. You'll see what happens next.

Who would be scared looking at you, man?

Even a mosquito gets swatted only after it bites

But you are dying out of fear.

Like a wimp.

Don't you feel ashamed?

Forget a lifetime. For one day, just one day, can you be courageous?

You can't do it, right?

Even that God cannot do it.

That's not in you design .

why am I telling all this to you .

just looking at u

Ready one, two, three.

I want a new doll. Want want want

Aah! A new doll!

Who are you??

Mom!

What are you looking at over there? here!

Hi ,sivaji

Sir, what is happening here?I don't get anything. Who are you?

You wanted to be brave for one day, right? So I came to make you brave.

Yes , I was asking God(Realizing)So are you god?

Late invention

Oh my god!?

But then which God you are ? Is it murugan or ganesha or raman

All three together

All three?

He's dumber than I imagined.

So you are MGR?

Yes, sivaji

Give me your hand. Fully sanitized ,don't worry.

Bless me god

M.G.R

I told you to shut up, man.

Oh, sorry!

God, how will you make me brave in a single day?

Compared to changing a monkey into a human, this is no big deal.

Yeah,you are God. Won't you make me brave with a single snap?

Sivaji, I've been watching you since you were little.

One snap won't do it. Even if I snapped continuously for five minutes, throughout a whole song, you wouldn't get any courage.

So you won't make me brave, then?

I am going to try

If you want to be brave, I've got three rules.

Rules ?

Only if you agree to them will I accept your request.

Or else, I'll unfollow you and leave, despite you following me every day.

Sir sir sir!!

Wait wait , I am taking my ipad . Don't get scared.

Graphics ?

Look here. This is your horoscope

It says you will die tomorrow.

God

Just for fun

Like this millions of people walking around with millions of problems in their pocket

If you listen properly to what I say, I'll accept your request.

What, sir! You are worse than my father when it comes to rules!

If not, I'll just walk out through this mirror. Dot .

You'll just leave?

Ayyayyo, God! God! Ok ! I agree to the rules

tell me

Rule no 1:For one whole day, you must not be afraid of anything or anyone.

Sivaji look here

Rule no 2 : Scratch your nose.

For what ?

That's not the rule

Whatever I ask you , you should do that without questioning

That's the god pushpa’s rule

It peed

Oh shit

Rule no : 3

If you ask me to go , I will go and then I'll never return.

Ok god , i accept the rules

From what I know , Keerthi will call you in exactly 15 seconds. Put the phone on silent

I already know she'll call. What's the big deal? Is this your power?

Wait and watch

It's her!

Wait

Welcome appa onboard

Aiaio dad

Phone dad

Who is kumar ?

My friend kokki kumar dad

In two more seconds, your dad will hit you. Be careful.

Rascal!

Nice shot

The sound of your dad hitting you with his hand is louder than his belt.

Mmm

Just because you broke Rule Number Two. Did you see the way your dad hit you?

Shut up and just do what I say

Orelse do you need another demo ?

Put your phone on silent

I put it, God! I put it myself, God!

Keerthi will call again. You must tell her exactly what I tell you, okay?

Okay

Shall we start

Phone ringing

Hey, are you alive or are you dead?

How many times should someone call you ?

Do I have to call you 15 times just for a 10-minute talk?

You just be quiet! You don't get the situation

Why doesn't that Major have any other work?

Ask him to Go see how other kids in town are with their fathers, and how you are.

This is the first time I'm seeing a father like this in this generation.

I've been watching for 26 years.

Okay leave

You're scared of everyone else, fine. But why are you even scared of me?

Have you at least looked into my eyes and spoken to me for a day, or held my hand, or spent an hour with me?

Happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary

Surprisingly, you even remember all this.

If you're like this over this, I have an anniversary gift for you tomorrow. What you gonna tell about that

What, Sivaji? Your performance is a bit much today.

What's the reason

I'm going to spend the whole 24 hours of tomorrow with you.

Hey just wait . Are you serious?

For one whole day, I'll take you around and show you this entire town.

Whoa! This plan sounds amazing! But does the Major Sir know about any of this?

Mom and Dad are going out tomorrow; they'll be gone for two days.

Hmph, I see. I thought you had actually gained courage

I'm telling you with courage. Now, you tell me what I should do.

I will do that

Whatever you do for one day is fine, but you have to do it courageously.

Okay, come to my home tomorrow

Hey , what did you say ?

tomorrow , come to my home

How do I look to you?

They said watchman is on leave ,but at last he came back

We'll see next time.

As my Dad is the apartment secretary, he installed CCTV in every block, Keerthi

We'll see next time.

Yesterday, I said all that in my sleep and with courage. Today, I don't have the courage.

Next time

After all this, how can I trust you and come with you?

Don't think too much

Come sharp at 11 o'clock to the apartment tomorrow.

The saliva is flying all the way over here. Muah

Release to realise

Sir what have you done ?

It's Love

God why God? I am dead Even now you think the mistake is mine

but I didn't tell you to do this.

Your mouth only spoke what was told here.

only you should ask what's good or bad for you to the universe

It will attract your desire

the universe will take care of the good and the bad

Evoke a sense of wonder

Did you understand? Mmm

What did you even understand.

Will see tomorrow

I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow...

The time is 4:30am now. According to the rules, you were supposed to be up at 4 o'clock.

The punishment for this will be waiting for you when we get back from the temple. Get ready

Sivaji,sivaji come , Come lock the door I am coming mom

Make sure you switch off the gas. i'll leave

Hey , don't you get late now, go, lets go

He has left, shall I come?

No, no, no. You shouldn't come after watchman arrives. You must only come after he has arrived

Who is he ?

Raja ilayaraja

Can you hear?

Okay listen carefully.

In our apartment we have totally 7 blocks

A,b,c,d,e,f,g

The block where you need to come is C Block

Okay ?

Also, there are three CCTV cameras in this apartment

one on the left on the second floor

one on the right on the fourth floor

one straight ahead on the sixth floor.

So, when you come from left, look right. When you come from right, look left. And when you come straight, cover yourself with a shawl

Breathing sound

Keerthi, This is the most important thing!

In between all this, if anyone sees you, or if you see anyone, do not make eye contact.

Did you understand? Keerthi ,are you still in the call?

Yes , next?

Shall we start?

Hey, is the CCTV on the second floor on the left or the right?

Isn't this what I've been saying all this time?

You're arguing this much over five rupees? Only I know how hard it is to carry the can without a lift.

Hey

Hey can can

Won't you go slow ?

Hey I have crossed 4th floor

Last floor be ready

1,2,3,4,5

Okay oh my god!not there,here, Come come come come

What, you're coming from here?

One minute one minute please please please wait, be silent

okay, did anybody else see you?

It's over! In the end, I only got you into trouble, didn't I? It's over!

Don't you worry about anything. Just be bold, okay?

Hey, that's nothing! There's only a problem if someone is actually home in that house, right?

But nobody is there.You calm down first.

Hey,You look amazing with the gel in your hair and the lenses!, You are rocking it

Someone should be consoling you, but you're consoling me?, What's happening here?

That's right! At least now you've admitted that I am courageous!

The beginning is fine. We'll see how brave Sir is as we move forward.

Mm will see

Hey wait

You said nobody was there, but look, a granny is coming!

A granny?!

I don't know what to do.

Why are you reacting this way just for a regular granny?

A normal granny, you say?

You don't understand—everyone has a villain in their life, and for me, that person is this Grandmother Ragini.

Her eyes are like an eagle's

Grandma will have all the details about who comes and goes in her data list

Not even a mosquito can enter this apartment without that grandmother's knowledge

This didn't start now

Major sundar rajan

Sivaji

Oh no , granny

You're forging a signature, you got caught

only if i go to school, right?

Sivaji

Oh shit, grandma

Don't you want to go to school, you’re finished

Sivaji one minute, Happy valentine's day

Sivaji , Oh no, that old woman!

Ahh 298,299,300

That old woman

That granny has done these much to me

Keerthi, where did she go? Keerthi!

Keerthi

Did she leave while I was talking, or did she leave before I even started speaking?

It's not even that big a house to look around.

Keerthi

Keerthi

Renin blossom , ladies perfume

The leg looks old

Oh no , granny

If we get caught, it's over

Now do u understand sivaji , how difficult M.G.R's job is ?

That's nothing! Just thinking about that old woman has completely taken away my courage.

Hey Sivaji! A girl is inside, trusting you and lying down, and here you are doing a watchman's duty outside?

Watchman? You are mocking me!

That girl came three hours ago. Nobody has seen her until now, and nobody is going to see her from now on either

Oh dear! U have only 8 hours 41 minutes and 32 seconds left

Before that, do everything you can, man!

Then that's how these small, small doves will be formed in this world.

I'll take care of all that; you just take care of me.

Okay, I'm going inside now.

god will take care of everything

Did you note something , Dove ! Sivaji needs M.G.R. to teach him romance!

Sivaji singing

Oh man! What's this , shit

It's paining

Sorry

It's tickling

Idiot

Hey Keerthi , where are you going ?

Listen to me calmly, I need to tell you something

What

Happy anniversary

Did it only just occur to you to tell me?

Give me your hand , you asked right

Mmm , okie ?

Look into my eyes, stop laughing

Look into my eyes

Okie , i wont laugh

Phone ringing

Calling bell

Oh no ! U are dead

Keerthi Keerthi keerthi, listen to me , wait wait wait

The plumber is back who came two days before

I don't know what's the reason , i guess he is not here without a reason

I guess my father has only sent him as a spy

You should hide , you should hide somewhere

Can you hide under this bed ? No no no

You hide inside the bathroom.

That is good

Please go go go Keerthi , please

Sorry sorry Keerthi

Sorry sorry stay there

Keerthi Keerthi Put your phone on silent if a call comes, and cover your mouth if you cough.

Sorry , please !

Brother I am coming

May MGR protect me

Goodness,it's taking this long for you to open the door?

Brother , you just came two days back . Why are you here

Ahh brother see , you still remember me .

Remember that day? You saw how much work I did for so long without even a tea or a vada!

But your father wrote a terrible review about a tiny water leak.

They didn't know about it and sent me off with a tap on the head

Move, man. Brother, wait! Where are you headed, brother?

I'll just finish the job and leave; please make way for me.

Brother, wait!

You are torturing me more than your father.

Oh god! Sorry to bother you,

What are you doing, man?

You go on, brother, please.

Something isn't right.

Don't you forget and come in here! I'll grab you and dump water on your head!

You go on, brother, please.

Tell me when you are done, brother.

If I get caught, it's over!

Please save me somehow. M.G.R.!

Don't worry, don't worry.

Ugh, this guy again!

Brother, is it done? Wow, fantastic!

Alright, come on, let's go.

Not this bathroom, Then?

I think it's the other bathroom. Come on. Brother, no need, brother, please.

Why are you talking non-stop? Just be quiet.

Brother, please, brother, everything is good.

Nothing is there; please understand, brother.

Do you know how much I have suffered just in one day?

It's your dad's fault that I have this sore neck!

Everything is fine inside! Don't I know that?

You're talking without knowing anything about my father!

Brother! Please don't.

You may say there is no need, but then who will answer your father?

Okie dokie

This door was closed, right? You are the one who opened it, brother.

What? Did I open this? Yes

Phone ringing

Who's this?

Damn! She just keeps calling for no reason.

But once we step outside the house, it's over! We'll regret ever leaving home.

Yes! Brother Look here, she is calling repeatedly, idiot.

Check it, man, not even a single drop will leak! You shouldn't come back and bother me saying, "That's a problem" or "This is a problem." v

Okay, brother, super.

Now you say all this. That's how he is; just don't bother.

Brother, What are you doing?

No matter what I do, your dad is going to find a defect

So? So, I'll just do a video call once and show him everything before I leave.

Brother! Brother! We don't need all that, brother! No video call! It's done right; let's leave.

Stay quiet! You don't know your father. The way my neck got locked that day, I still can't move it properly!

Oh my, I would have to stand in front of the whole apartment in my underwear! Please understand!

All I can see is my face. Wife, she keeps on calling.

She left her parents and her home to come here for you and is struggling! Brother, please take the call; it could be an emergency!

I am a live-in son-in-law; you are speaking without knowing my situation!

It could be an emergency; please attend.

You think so? Okay, let me ask her.

Hello... Hello Tell me, Ma!

You idiot! I've been calling since morning; where are you wasting your time?

Where did you keep the TV remote? I have been searching since morning.

Not a single drop of water should come out, ma! They're acting like the house is being flooded!

Come home first, man; I'll give you a piece of my mind!

Brother, bye!

Let me go, god.

Keerthi. It's me, it's me! He left! What's wrong with you?

Hey Keerthi, sorry, Keerthi. How would I know that he will come?

Hey Keerthi, Sorry, please understand. Sorry, you know about me, right? Please.

Keerthi I called you here saying I'd be courageous, and I was as courageous as I possibly could be.

But the minute I saw my dad's call, all the bravery I had just vanished!

From now on, I will definitely be brave, Keerthi, trust me!

Forget about a day; you can't be courageous not even for a minute. You don't need to change anything; you stay the same.

Don't say it like that.

You don't need to change anything; you stay the same.

If you want, I will change for you.

Keerthi, not like that. Don't leave, Keerthi, please, Keerthi.

Ey Keerthi,

Please hear me out. I know I shouldn't have done that. Trust me, give me your hand.

Look into my eyes. From now on, I won't be scared of anyone or anything.

Really? Promise

Oh god! It's over, over, over! I'm finished! I got caught by the exact person I didn't want to run into!

It's over! I have no idea what to do!

Why are you tense, Sivaji?

I was minding my own business, and you dragged me into all this trouble. Are you happy?

You were happy, and you're asking me if I'm happy?

Alright, after all you've done, I'll tell you one remedy for all this. You go and do that too.

Dude! For all these years, you did remedies for the god's problems, and now you're asking the god to perform a remedy?!

I don't know all that! At least do one help for me.

Please make it as if none of these things ever happened.

Now you are asking me to change everything after kissing your girl?

If not, just make that granny forget everything!

Enough

Bro, even if I go and change the past for you, the ones above, they'll change me! Please understand!

See here, don't confuse yourself! Just close your eyes and confidently make a decision; it will be the correct one.

That's right, focus well and close your eyes... What? You opened your eyes already?

Okay, I made a brave decision.

I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but this is the only courageous decision I've made.

I am going to kill the granny, and I need your help, God.

Dude, Even I couldn't kill her and had to give up and sit here. How on earth are you planning to kill her?

I had no choice; please forgive me.

I will kill that old woman, at least after watching YouTube.

Why is he standing like this?

Where are you going?

Why did you come?

What?

Why did you come so early?

What can I say? That's why they tell you not to cause any trouble when you're going for a good event. But did he listen?

Can we just meet God if we think? He has to think of meeting us.

Everything was going well, and then the car got a flat tire out of nowhere.

It looks like even God doesn't wish to see us; that's why the God himself punctured the car tire.

On our way back, we stopped at the Murugan Temple.

Wait, why are you standing like this, all tangled up in something on your hands and feet?

Answer me?

Did you try on the old dress to see if it still fits?

It's good, it's good! Go, go, just go away!

Hey, stop! You must be in the hall exactly at 11:05.

You still have pending punishment, and furthermore, you didn't pick up the phone when I called twice, so...

So what?!

The punishment being postponed for two days is postponed; that's final!

You can't just keep changing the rules as you please; you go, making him stand and question.

What did I ask from you? I asked for just one day, just one day of courage. Did you give it?

Did you give it?

I should break this mirror first.

Time's up; I will leave in 10 min.

I was searching for you all this time!

I've met gods who solve our issues, but this is the first time I'm seeing a god who only creates trouble.

I can't tell if you are a blessing or a curse that I received.

You should not know; that's God.

Everything is funny for you.

Do you know something? I can't leave this room from now on.

If my dad ever finds out the truth, he himself would kill me. Before that, I'd rather just kill myself, best.

You either want to die or you want to kill someone else. Don't you ever think about living?

You have all that bravery when you commit the mistake, so why does it disappear when you have to accept it?

Listen, making a mistake isn't called bravery; admitting the mistake is what's called bravery.

The day you admit your mistake is the day life will be the way you like it.

Mission time is over; I am leaving.

From my perspective, if I were to check whether this mission was a pass or a fail—a pass or a fail—the Sivaji mission failed.

Goodbye, Sivaji.

Making a mistake isn't called bravery; admitting the mistake is what's called bravery.

The day you admit your mistake is the day life will be the way you like it.

You will need a lot of calmness.

You need to think before doing anything.

For those with the Gemini

People with the Gemini sign, if they need luck, should eat the sweet made out of milk.

Dad!

Hi Jayanthi, How are you?

Is it only now that your eyes have opened enough to notice us?

I came at the correct time, didn't I? Now there won't be any problems.

I will take care of it. Okay!

Sivaji, why are you staring like that? Don't you recognize her?

Raagini's grandmother it is.

It's Ragini Paati, who lives opposite our house.

He saw you when he was a child, right? That's why he doesn't recognize you.

What, Shivaji? Don't you recognize me?

Hey, she is asking you, right? Why are you standing without answering?

I remember her.

Come and sit next to me.

Come, sit.

I came here just to talk about you.

Major, Did you give him some punishment that prohibits him from speaking at all?

I am just like you, maybe even a step above you.

I was so strict because I was worried the kids might make mistakes.

Now look, both my children have gone to Singapore, and they're earning money, spinning faster than a clock!

But they don't have time to talk with me.

It's been two years since they spoke with me.

They didn't even ask, "How am I?"

For them, I am a strict mother; that's it.

That's the only thing they remember.

We raise our children strictly out of fear that they will make mistakes.

But they are called children precisely because they make mistakes.

The parents' duty is simply to raise them with maturity and understanding.

To understand this, it took all these years for me.

Throw away that rule book, and let him be himself.

Don't delay things anymore; change yourself right now.

Children should not change for the sake of parents.

Instead, parents should change to suit their children.

So try changing yourself soon.

I am saying all this because he's the boy I looked after and raised when he was small, and now he's grown up so big.

But yet now I couldn't see him, as God took away my sight.

Thinking about that is what makes me feel sad.

What! You can't see?

It looks like the house door is left open.

Who is there? Whose house is this? The Major's?

The Major and his wife are standing there!

Dad, I love a girl named Keerthi.

I've been loving her for four years, and she's a really good girl.

I even looked in the rule book, Dad, and there's no rule that says you can't love!

On top of that, I made a big mistake yesterday, Dad. I brought that girl to the house, Dad.

I'll accept any punishment you give, Dad.

But I've been living my life in constant fear of you since I was a child.

I'm not going to be afraid anymore, Dad.

Sorry, Dad.

Granny! Thank God, we were informed on time.

Siavji, it's not like I can't see completely; my vision is just blurry.

I don't know what he is waiting to do.

Don't do it over; remember, I am always watching you. Bye.

It's only now that I understand how bad I was until this point.

He seems to be planning something big. I wonder what he's going to do.

I thought I could raise you to be disciplined using this book, but now I know it's useless from here on out.

So, right now, throw this book out yourself with your own hands.

I can't figure out what's going on.

Come, come here, take this, go, and throw this out by yourself.

Dad! Thank you.

Everyone here changes themselves because they made a mistake; I am no different.

I made a big mistake.

Dad, it's not like that.

This is the time for change.

My grandfather, Sevaga Perumal, was the one who wrote this rule book.

And he told me, "The day these rules become useless to you, throw the book out with your own hands."

And at a time like that, he wrote this version 2.0, new edition.

Oh, what a pity.

From now on, the rules and regulations will be changed.

Oh, you cruel human!

He is the one who wrote this book, Version 2.0.

Suppose I solve what a person considers a big problem for them.

They will keep creating problems one after another, expecting me to solve everything that comes next.

Therefore, instead of solving the problem, if you give them the courage to solve that problem themselves,c

that is the correct thing to do.
