Step aside!

Daddy. I am at the suicide point.

If you don’t immediately come here within the next ten minutes...

I am going to jump from here.

Stop it! Stop! Stop! This is the suicide point.

Dear...dear... Maya.

Why would you take such a harsh decision?

Couldn’t you have given it a bit more thought, dear?

I don’t that sort of time to spare.

The producers of the movie Bahubali said that they would give me...

an opportunity to direct a movie only if I make a biopic about him

Only after I become a movie director, I will get married to whoever you chose for me.

Why would you link the two of them?

Just as my marriage is important to you, making a biopic about this man is as important to m

Oh?

Well, who is it?

Vashishta?

He is the Vashishta who recently won the Dhyanchand award.

This isn’t such a big deal. I will get you his biography in five minutes.

It isn’t that easy.

A lot of well-known people asked him for his biography. A yet, he didn’t oblige them.

Your dad is an influential man amongst a lot of other influential people.

Yes!

No matter what it takes I am going to win him over.

will do whatever it takes to make him agree to this... -Let’s go, sir ....and I will make yo

Excuse me, sir.

Good luck and all the best.

Someone’s waiting for you.

Tell them to come in.

How wonderful!

I read about you in the newspapers And now, I am looking at you in person.

Shake hand.

Why? -This is the COVID season.

So, no using hands and mouths. -Oh?

Sorry.

Well, to tell you a little about me...

I am... -Sir, he left.

Sir...Sir...Sir... Well...

Come to the point.

After listening to your life story, we want to make a biopic.

Brother, how would I benefit from that?

Why would you say that sir?

You would make a lot of money.

And after that?

You would become popular.

And then?

You would be a celebrity.

Your posters and cut outs would be on the billboards along the roads.

You could easily become the Chief Minister.

Listen, brother.

I am already very popular.

I have money as well.

And to top it all, I have peace of mind.

You can leave.

Sir...

Sir, your permission is neither for him nor for me.

My daughter has expressed an ardent wish to make a biopic of your life story, sir.

If you don’t tell your story to my daughter,

I will lie down at your feet and die, sir.

Get up. Get up.

I got up.

Well, who is this daughter of yours?

Well... Come this way, sir.

Please come. Please come, sir.

See that girl who is standing at the edge of that mountain, ready to jump.

That girl is my daughter.

Oh my god! Suicide point? -Yes, sir.

She said that if we fail to bring her your story,

she is going to jump and kill herself, sir.

Why are you wailing? Stop it.

I am not narrating my story to you because you begged me,

but I’ll do it for your daughter.

Thank you, sir. Thank you so much

Let’s have some coffee and I’ll narrate my story.

Coffee, sir?

Forget about just one cup of coffee, I’ll buy you a hundred cups. Come.

Not that way.

Brother,

look far away there. What can you see?

The valley.

Beside that?

A lake.

There is a coffee shop beside that lake. Let’s go there and have a cup of coffee.

What? To have a cup of coffee.... ...we must go there?

If you want coffee.... ...we need to go there!

Let’s go.

He is a piece of work! -Yes, a Dhyanchand awardee.

Chinnu? -Sir?

Did you pack everything in the bag?

Yes, sir. Everything is ready.

Sir, the car is this way. -Yes, sir

Well, if you take the car... -Take the car?

... we must ride 11 kms away. -That means eleven kilometers.

But if you take a walk through the shortcut in the forest. -Walk through the forest?

It’s just ten kilometres.

-What?

It takes 11 kms by road and 10 kms by walk?

There’s only one kilometre difference between the two routes. Come on. Come on.

Keep an eye around you and keep walking carefully. -No way... we need to listen him for his

Hello?

Dear, you are lucky.

He agreed to tell us his story.

Yay!

Very good.

Please keep updating me regularly. -Alright.

When I was studying, I was as crazy about basketball as I was about my studies.

My father was interested in farming.

He would grow many varieties of fruits and export them.

One day, we got a call from my uncle.

Tell me, brother.

Brother, did you get the wedding invitation?

Good tidings. I got the invite today. Alright.

You must come at least five days before the wedding. -Sure. Sure.

Brother-in-law, you must be here five days before the wedding.

Sure, sister-in-law.

I already told him that, didn’t I?

Well, I would be more at peace if I say it myself.

-Uncle...

please get the sweets from Tapeshwaram. -Sure. Sure.

Uncle, please arrange for sweets.

Wife, I already told him that.

Well, I would be more at peace if I say it myself.

Dear, we just received an invite for my brother’s son’s wedding.

They asked us to be there five days early.

Even I got the call.

I can make it only two days in advance. - Why not five days in advance?

We’ve been married so long.

Don’t you know the reason?

-Oh?

Well, after my brother’s son gets married, we should get our son married too.

I want to see the entire household decked and merry with the wedding festivities.

Vasishta..Vasishta.. Vasishta...

Vasishta..Vasishta.. Vasishta...

Vasishta..Vasishta.. Vasishta...

"In this life, he is the living representative of Lord Vishnu’s spinning disc."

"All his limbs are like the great dancing god, Lord Shiva."

"On the playground that has four corners, he is the finest of the experts, I am Vasishta."

Buddy, He isn’t an ordinary man.

This is no big deal. If he plays me, I will show him his place.

And set. (On TV)

And Shatakla was clearly the slowest out of the gates. (On TV)

(On TV)

Look there.

What a champion!

When you risk your money on a horse that’s not expected to win

but wins, you become millionaires.

This time, I am going to bet on you. -Go ahead, sir.

Go and place how ever much you want to. This time, I am going to win the match.

You, Fool!

If the ball is in Vasishta’s court, he’s going to handle it like you would a firecracker.

And if it’s in his hands, he’s going to handle it like Lord Vishnu’s spinning disc.

If he is in the game, he will win for sure.

If you want to win the match that you are going to be playing next week,

there’s just one way.

Brother, have some coffee. - Son, have some juice.

Thank you, sister.

I am going to give you a very good news.

Vashi...

Good family, good traditions and a very famous family.

I want to find a match for you amongst such a family.

Mom ...

What’s happening in this house, mother?

What happened, son?

Apparently, a family that follows good traditional values... ...a good family...

...from a very good lineage...

Why is dad going to get married again? -What’s this again?!

How foolish brother-in-law?

Right there in front of you is my very good-looking sister.

You forget all about her and want to get married again at your age?

How quick you are to misunderstand!

You!

I wasn’t talking about me. The wedding is for you.

For me? -Yes.

Do you think it’s wise to trouble dad at his age? -No, son.

That is why, I am going to select the girl that I am going to get married to.

She should have certain qualities. -What are those qualities?

A girl needs to be a little naughty,

a little shy,

with a grain of mischief,

and a hint of madness.

I want a girl like that.

Brother-in-law, are you okay? -What?! Something is wrong with him.

Yes, he is okay. Call the witch doctor. -Why? Aren’t you enough?

I got married to your mother despite her having none of those qualities.

Well, if anyone asks about qualities, they are usually asking about how good a person is.

A good person?

My mother happens to have all the goodness that exists in the world in her.

What does that mean?

You mean you are going to search for that girl at a college or a bus stop,

and then flirt with her, make her fall in love with you,

and then go and persuade her father to give her in marriage to you,

nd then her father’s going to scold you, beat you up and throw you out of his house...and th

you are going to cry about it in front of me.

Isn’t that taxing?

Oh, hello darling!

Very soon I am going to find a girl I like, confess my feelings to her,

and she is going to accept my proposal, and her father’s going to agree to our marriage.

After that, we are going to exchange garlands (get married) and our family is going to have

What do you think?

Isn’t it spectacular?

Spectacular?!

This is how bad time looks like.

People talk stupid things such as these.

Father, we will know if it’s bad time or a good time later.

Come uncle. - Let’s go nephew.

Hey!

Why don’t you persuade him?

Well, brother-in-law, the problem here is that he considers you a father.

He doesn’t think of you as his daddy.

Idiot!

Son! Son!

Your cousin’s wedding’s been fixed. They asked us to be there five days early.

Just say if you are going to come or not.

I have a practice match. I can’t make it.

What?!

(Clears throat)

Well, let it go. Bujjamma...

I am glad that at least you’ve understood me during this trying time.

What is it?

Naughtiness! -Oh goodness!

Everyone in this house has their own idiosyncrasies.

Vashi, instead of sticking these posters here,

and if you want to stick the photos of the girl you like,

I feel that your father’s advice about going for a potential brides’ viewing is right.

How is that possible, uncle? I have a practice match.

Does a tiger need to be taught how to hunt?

And similarly, do you need to be taught how to hit a ball into the nets? Tell me.

Well, if you go to your cousin’s wedding...

Listen...

-Listening...

...hordes of girls will be present there decked in silk skirts.

What are you thinking about?

Instead of looking at the road, why are you looking at the sky?

I was thinking, perhaps the girl I like has fallen from the skies.

Oh goodness!

#Are you a beautiful damsel from the mythical land of Gandharva? #

#Who might you be? #

#Who might you be? #

#Are you the invigorating bright feeling that stems from sensual poetry? #

#Who might you be? #

#Are you the finely blossomed golden flower from holy places? #

What happened, nephew?

Looks like you were singing a love song in your dreams. Did you see the girl yet?

I did, uncle.

Beautiful eyes, beautiful smile, a slim waist... but I couldn’t get a look at her face.

In love, huh? Really?

Don’t hit him! Don’t hit him!

Good man, you own a sweetmeat shop, isn't it?

For your son, couldn't you have selected a bride from the daughters of business men?

Priest, why couldn’t you have married him off to a priest or a priest’s son?

They would have avoided this fate.

[ Devotional slokam ]

What is it?

Just because you wore pants you fell in love?

And you? You just started menstruating and graduated to wearing a saree.

And now, you’ve fallen in love, huh?

God did not give you hands and feet just so you could run away with a girl.

Here.

As soon as there is a thought in your head, you mustn’t hurry to make a decision.

Here.

You must ask your heart. -Heart?

You must ask your heart if what you’re doing is indeed right.

Do you understand?

It’s not just about giving birth to kids. You must know how to raise them!

That...that is how upbringing, and a home looks like.

It must be peaceful, and hear the divine hymns.

Grandma.

The great sage Valmiki said that listening to this one verse from Ramayana

bestows as much good karma as listening to the entire Ramayana.

Well, where is that naughty one?

What do you want me to do with those feet? Worship them?

Old hag! I am not showing it to you. I am showing it my sister!

Brat! Sister, how are my anklets?

They look beautiful because they adorn your feet

What about my earrings? Earrings?

You look like a maiden from the mythical Gandharva.

Thank you, sister.

There’s no way you can catch her! Where are you going?

Hold on! Hold on! What’s the issue at hand?

Son, look at your daughter! She’s decked herself like a festival bull and heading off somewh

Dad!

My little one, look at your sister.

She gets up in the morning, does her yoga,

showers and worships the gods and walks around the Tulsi pot and prays.

Along with her studies, she reads and recites Ramayana and Mahabharata.

I don’t think it’s right for the both of us to do the same thing, father.

Father... pick one amongst these two fingers. -Why, dear?

Please, pick one...pick one.... pick one...pick one...

Hey! Father agreed! Father agreed! Father agreed!

What did I agree to?

Come...come... Father, remember my friend Pallavi?

Yes.

It’s her wedding. - Oh?

She asked me to come ten days before her wedding.

I was in two minds if I should head there or not...

...and the finger you picked told me that I should indeed head there.

Well, I am dressed well, aren’t I? Ok, I’ll be back.

Bye. -That’s not what I meant...

Bye, father.

What is this father? Why is it in the way? Tell them to get this out of here.

Fellas! Get that away from there. -Alright, sir

Hey, remove that.

Daughter, what was the second choice?

It also meant that I could head to the wedding.

-It’s the same thing...?

May you be married soon! -May you be married soon!

Uncle, my father and mother said that they would be heading here in a couple of days.

Only their presence can bring these festivities to life!

Yes, their presence is necessary to bring life to these festivities!

Aunt Suramma? -Yes!

Come here.

This is my brother’s son. -Namaste.

His name is Vasishta.

Oh goodness! You are Dharmaiyya’s son? -Yes, ma’am.

You were so tiny when you were young.

You’ve grown so big!

Everyone is really that tiny when they are young. And once they grow up, they are as big as

What about you then? You are still the same! When will you grow up? Move...

Oh my god!

What’s your height? - Vashi ! Come up!

Hi, brother.

I am coming.

What about the party? -Arrange the party in the garden.

Don’t delay. It must be a blast.

The choice is yours , just for you. For you.

Get lost!

Brother, why is he walking about with a flower in his hand?

He’s trying to get a girl’s attention.

When is your match scheduled?

First, you tell me how you’re doing? -I am fine.

How are you?

Super!

Freshen up and hurry back.

Okay, done.

Uncle Subbaiah? -Sitaratnam, how are you?

Get the chair...the chair. -Please sit.

No! No, not that chair.

Get the Pitapuram landlord’s chair. -Get the Pitapuram landlord’s chair.

What a nuisance!

I just like it when I say it.

Oh Ghosh!

Why did you sit on the floor, uncle?

What do you mean I sat on the floor? I fell.

I could have sat on this chair here until you brought the other one.

Why would you push it away? -Nonsense!

What do you mean you will sit in that chair?

Pitapuram... -Pitapuram...

Get up!

Pitapuram... Sit down.

I’ll sit down. I’ll sit.

Oh my god!

Oh, you’re dusting it, huh? How hospitable you are!

Well, why didn’t your elder brother uncle, Elder Subbaiah ,come?

I did ask him.

I asked him if he would come for the wedding.

He said that he wouldn’t be attending small weddings such as these.

He asked me to be here. So, I came.

And it takes a lot of work for him to be here.

A hundred dresses and he is spoilt for choice as to what to wear.

A hundred footwear and he is always confused

as to what he should be wearing.

Sir, you are forgetting certain things. -What are they?

Rings...rings...

Oh, five on this hand and five on the other.

A total of twenty.

That includes the fingers and the feet.

To get dressed in all that finery would take him at least five hours.

Moving on...

I want to have a good cup of coffee.

Disgusting!

Why would you go and get yourself a cup of coffee, uncle?

Not just coffee...anything you want to have would be brought to you.

Why don’t you just relax and sit comfortably?

Get some coffee for uncle Subbaiah. -Coffee for uncle Subbaiah.

Get some coffee over to uncle Subbaiah.

A cup of coffee for uncle Subbaiah.

Alright.

Are you done?

This girl is my best friend.

Uncle and aunt.

There is nothing for you guys to worry about.

I am not here just to witness the wedding. I came here to help with the wedding work.

I will welcome the guests. Sprinkle fragrant water upon their arrival.

Whatever you bid me to do, I’ll do it in a jiffy.

The girl seems quite smart.

Yes, the girl seems quite smart.

Shut up, please.

I’ll be satisfied only if I say it myself.

(blows raspberry) Goodness! She is going to start making some noise.

Such a monkey!

Your piping hot coffee is ready!

The small glass for you,

The bigger glass for you, Thank you, fella!

Oh !

It smells amazing. -Disgusting!

Why would you serve uncle Subbaiah’s coffee in a steel glass?

It’s okay, Sitaratnam.

You don’t know about this. Just hold on.

Why would you serve uncle subbaiah’s coffee in a steel glass?

It’s no big deal, Sitaratnam.

Why would you serve uncle subbaiah’s coffee in a steel glass?

It’s really doesn’t matter, Sitaratnam.

You don’t know about this, uncle. Just sit down.

You must serve uncle Subbaiah’s coffee in a silver glass.

In what? -In silverware.

Oh, is that so? What an admirable host you are.

How dare you serve uncle Subbaiah in steel glass?

Just slurp slowly. If not, you would swallow the glass.

They say that whatever comes your way during marriage, you shouldn’t let it go.

Why is that?

Because you don’t know if you would receive the same again later.

Oh? You purchased it in the US? -Brother,

what’s the plan?

I couldn’t catch hold of my bride’s photograph. Why don’t you get it for me?

You want me to get you your bride’s picture. That’s about it, right?

Please hurry up and get it.

Fine, I will get it.

Blushing bride, don’t you think this saree would be good for the wedding?

Look at this. Isn’t it good?

The wedding is fine with me, but I cant wear a saree.

You have a fashion designer here for you. So, don’t worry.

I will teach you how to tie your saree in a new unique style.

I am ready. Good shot.

My brother asked me to get a picture of the bride. And I got it. Oh?

Well, the actual bride is......

that’s me!

Let’s go and click some pictures, PA.

What does PA mean? -Photo Assistant.

If that’s the case, please come PK.

PK?

-Pelli Koothuru (Bride)

PK(Bride...) PK( Bride...)

Well, come on then. -I am coming.

Shush! Shush!

Hold on! Hold on!

I am going to use these flowers and hold some poses.

You go ahead and quickly take the pictures.

Turn thus way. A little this way.

Make sure my plait turns out well in the pictures.

Bride...bride...a little to the right.

Hurry up, girl. -There! That’s it.

(kisses)

Throw the flowers on the bed. We need bed urgently.

Young one, go and get the coconuts.

You throw the flowers.

Don’t click the photo yet.

The coconuts are very heavy. Please be careful when you do that.

Rosie?

Thank you. Ta da! -Rosie?

##All the guavas that grow on the guava tree in my garden#

#ask me if you are doing alright. #

#The parrot in my garden keeps waiting for you. #

What’s all this fuss? -Aunt Suramma.

Photographer,

take a very good picture of our aunt Suramma

Why do I need all this?

What do you mean aunt?

Soon when you die, we would need a very good picture of you, don’t we?

Monkey!

You are already waiting to bid me goodbye, huh?

Photographer, why would you keep taking her photographs instead of the bride?

(laughing)

She isn’t an ordinary girl, nephew.

Yes, we really need to teach her a lesson, uncle.

Girl! Pay up?

Pay up? Why?

Like a baby elephant you blew the water out.

We took pictures of it, didn’t we? I am talking about that money.

The money for the film.

Are the photos good?

We’ll talk about it later. But first, pay me.

Well... The thing is... I sent my father to the reserve bank.

When he returns, I will pay you the money.

Alright?

-Aunt Suramma... -My money!

Coffee? -Are you uncle Subbaiah?

-You?

Never mind that, dear. Here.

He ordered a coffee for me. And it hasn’t arrived.

Could you please tell him to hurry up?

I’ll tell him.

What is it? -Jaggary pancakes.

Oh goody!

They will serve these during lunch.

Coffee in a silver glass. Oh dear! It spilled.

You dimwit!

I was going to serve uncle Subbaiah’s coffee in a silver glass and here you spilled it!

Oh dear!

The silver glass has fallen down. -Don’t worry about it, uncle.

Oh dear! -I’ll get you another one.

Sitaratnam, isn’t it time for lunch? Why don’t we ditch the coffee and head to lunch?

Let’s go. -Sit down.

Listen up, uncle Subbaiah wants lunch. Get it in a silver plate...Remember...

if you forget serving the food in a silver plate that’s engraved with golden flowers, I will

Golden flower?!

Golden flower in silver plate..

Golden flower?! Yes, golden flower! Wow! A golden flower!

This is epitome of hospitality. I need to inform my brother of this hospitality.

Brother? -Brother.

What a host! What a splendid way they treat their guests!

If I am going to be served food in a silver platter engraved with golden flowers,

imagine how they would have served you.

They would have served you food in a golden plate engraved with diamonds, brother.

Believe me when I say that everything is just being served right to us.

If I get up from my place, I am being pushed right back into my chair!

Goodness!

You missed all this, brother! You definitely did.

No matter how many times he keeps requesting for coffee, he doesn’t get it.

And no matter how far we walk, there is no coffee shop in sight.

Are you concentrating on the story or the coffee?

She is so tall, i wonder what he'll do if he wanted to kiss her.

If she can’t reach me, I will get the stool to aid her.

I don’t think a stool is enough. You need a ladder.

Uncle? Nephew?

No matter what, I need to get that trickster to pay up.

let’s go into the temple. -Yes, let’s go.

If need be, let’s go to the reserve bank and get the money. -Give me 2 Ice cream

You guys head into the temple. I’ll buy us some coconuts.

Okay.

Okay, let’s go. -Rosie?

200 kilometres.

She is coming this way! She’s coming! She’s coming!

Girl with the wiggling waist!

Looks like a few screws are loose around your waist. It’s swinging way too much.

My waist, my wish.

If need be, I’ll wriggle it or grind it! What is it to you?

Just pay me for my camera reels.

And then, do with yourself as you please.

Why would I bother?

What reel? -What reel?

What do you mean what reel?!

The other day you posed for the photographs like a monkey, a baboon and a bear. That money.

I remember! I remember!

My legs are aching and it’s difficult for me to climb such a lot of steps.

Lift me up and climb over those stairs to the top. I’ll give you your money.

You want me to lift you up?

Is this, okay?

This looks good nephew... ...Like they usually do at the village fair.

No! No! No! -Well, how about that?

This is much better, nephew...

No...

She said that she would pay you if you take her to the top.

Just carry her however possible and collect the money.

-Do you think so?

Fine, just hold this.

-What is this? -Your ice-cream on a stick?

Hey, your ice-cream on a stick! Just lift her...

I’ll give it back to you once we reach the top. Just lift her!

Just lift her! Lift her! Lift her!

You are so heavy! What did you eat this morning?

For breakfast I had a thick pancake with coconut chutney.

After that, I had sweet pancakes made of ghee. A ten of those.

And then, I had bananas...

Enough! Enough! -a dozen of them...

You ate enough to feed a famine ridden area for seven villages.

Don’t cast an evil eye on my appetite. My elders said that women need to eat well.

Yeah, right. Of course, they would say some nonsense like this.

Only those who carry you will know the suffering.

Hey, give me my money.

What money? -You!

Hold on, nephew.

I’ve let this go on for too long.

What was it that you said down there? What was it?

You said that you would pay him once he brings you to the top.

And now that we are here, why are you going back against your word?

Are you playing games with him?

I said that I would pay you, right?

I will pay you... Just wait. -How dare you .....my uncle...

Reserve bank... Reserve bank...

Is that where the Reserve bank was?

What? -Enjoy!

Five rupees.

Porter... It’s porter money.

Where do you want me to put it?

When those porters at the Kedarnath temple carry people from the ground all the to the top o

they get paid ten rupees.

And for these few steps, I gave you five rupees.

That means I am a good person, right?

Oh goodness!

She doesn’t know that I’ve already sucked on it.

Look how eagerly she’s devouring it all.

(Retching)

(Screams)

What happened? Why did you shout?

Well...a monkey. It stole a coconut from me.

Oh? Fine.

There it comes! There it comes!

Uncle Subbaiah, here is your hot seasoned rice on a silver plate.

Go ahead and dig in.

The seasoned rice smells amazing

Go ahead and gobble it up.

What is it this time, Sitaratnam?

Where is the golden flower on the silver plate?

It must be hidden underneath all the rice. I’ll eat it up.

Uncle!

How could you be fed in a silver plate that has no golden flower?

That’s alright, Sitaratnam. I am hungry. I am going to eat it.

No! You guys

How dare you serve uncle his lunch on silver plate that has no golden flower?

I understand the love, respect, devotion and admiration you have for me.

I am hungry. I’m going to eat it.

No, uncle! I won’t let you eat.

You must eat in the silver plate that has a golden flower adorning it.

It’s no big deal, Sitaratnam. I will eat...leave it.

Uncle, golden flower. -No, I don’t want a golden flower.

Uncle, the golden flower, please. -I don’t want it.

I want it.

Oh goodness! -Your flower...

Sir, pappad.

What?

Uncle, a poppadum.

Eat it. Come! Eat it! Eat it! Eat!

Sir...

How dare you eat when I’m starving?! How dare you?!

Does Mr. Sitaratnam suffer from piles?

He snatched the food away from uncle Subbaiah’s mouth.

At times, he throws the plates down and at other times it was the glasses.

He for sure has hemorrhoids.

Shush!

It's done!

He will not tell...

He will not tell story.

How does it matter if he has hemorrhoids or high blood pressure or even diabetes?

What sort of questions are these?

Why do you ask silly questions and irritate the man?

Aren’t they all characters in the story?

Listen, brother. -Listening.

He is listening to the story with a lot of concentration.

Where as you, you are just finding holes in the plot!

In my opinion, this man is cleverer than you. Just follow his lead.

Well said, sir! Well said! -Why, sir?

Is this to relax?

Is this with sugar or without sugar?

That’s not for us. It’s for the snake that lives in that ant hill.

-What?

Milk for the snake. (Singing nervously)

(Humming tune)

Hiss? Hiss? Hiss?

What do you mean by Hiss? -You are drinking the milk meant for the snake.

If you tattle about this to him, I will break your neck.

Get lost!

Everyone here is out to threaten.

Oh goodness!

How was your journey? -How was your journey?

It was good.

Dharmayya, how are you? I am good.

How are you, dear? -I am good, aunt Suramma.

The other day, I saw your son.

He looks very dashing.

Let’s look for a good girl in our community and get him married.

Aunt Suramma is ready with a match for you. I suggest you be ready as well.

The good time starts now.

Your bad time is going to start now. -What do you mean, son?

I am already interested in someone.

Yes!

Goodness! What is it? -Being naughty.

Here. Catch! Catch!

The monkey is playing with children out there.

Let’s go and stir things up.

Nephew don’t mess with the monkey when she’s with those children.

She will bite you. -Let’s go and cut it.

Cut what? -Her tail.

-Oh, if that’s the case, alright then.

Go on! Go! Go! Go! Look at how good these photos are.

Oh my! Oh goodness!

Oh my! Oh goodness!

Show me the photo! Show me the photo! Photo Assistant?

Please give me my photos. Please...please...please...

Can’t you come down and get them? -Get down and take them.

There’s a ladder there. Why don’t you come up?

If you want, you come down. -Wait, I am going to deal with you!

Attack!

You’ve done a good job with the photos, nephew.

Oh, dear! She hit me right in the middle, nephew.

What? Why are you hitting him like that?

Throw the photos towards me. I’ll catch them.

Catch!

Nephew!

God! It’s stuck on the branch.

Come on, reach it. Got it!

I removed the ladder.

What are you going to do now?

Ladder! My ladder! My ladder! I am going to take it away.

Well, you don’t need the ladder. Just jump, I’ll catch you.

Yeah, right! You wish! I will not come down at all!

I will stay right here. Just keep watching.

Okay, stay here..

Hey, a snake! A snake! There’s a snake behind you.

Rosie? My dear rose.

After Ravali’s daughter consumed the mangoes from this very tree,

she was blessed with twins.

Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I never saw something like this my whole life!

Oh dear! The kind of brats these kids are! Oh god!

Uncle Subbiah? Looks like you are in distress from overeating.

Uncle Subbaiah, this is my brother and his wife.

Namaste, uncle.

Heard that you are a big foodie. I came here to witness it myself.

I heard that at the wedding feast, your plate must contain at least ten fried green gram pat

five deep-fried sweet balls... -fifteen urad dal laddus...

twenty sweet pancakes made of jaggary...

All of them were brought to where he was and served with relish. Is that so?

Yes, brother-in-law. All of them were brought to where he was and served with relish.

I already said that. -I will be satisfied if I say it myself.

Satisfaction?

-Uncle, are you crying out of happiness?

Does my pain seem like I’m crying out of happiness to you?

You said coffee and threw the glass down.

You said you would serve me food and then you threw my plate down.

There are rats gnawing in my stomach... No! No! There are porcupines in my stomach

Dears, are these the only men you could find to marry? Couldn’t you have found better ones?

There’s no use being frustrated with the both of you. The person who gave birth to you...

Yes, my father.

-Give him the betel nut leaf wrap.

Uncle...uncle Subbaiah...

I got you the betel nut wrap. A special betel nut leaf wrap for you!

Why would I need a betel nut leaf wrap to finish the wedding feast?

Did you even feed me in the first pla

These fools!

Where are we going? -Where did she go?

Oh, my goodness! My backbone broke.

Get up, uncle. Where is the monkey?

Monkey and her friends are at the back.

Come, let’s go. I need to give her a love letter.

Tell me my fortune and I’ll pay you.

I’ll tell you, dear. May the goddess of Bejawada permit me....

Hey, monkey.

Get up. You can get your fortune read later.

Fortune teller, tell me whether my husband is going to return from Dubai or not?

Fake bride. I need to tell you something important.

I will tell you your fortune.

Hey, wait! Wait! -Why are you bothering me?

I am seriously busy listening to fortunes being read.

I need to tell you something important.

And I need to give you something.

Something important? To me? What is it? Tell me.

How do I tell ?

Well, you keep thinking about it. I’m going to go and get my fortune read.

Hey! -What is it?

I keep telling you that I want to tell you something important. And here you are, running awortune read.

If telling me something important is important to you, Getting my fortune read is important

The fortune they say is complete nonsense. They don’t give you solutions.

What’s the big deal in that?

Fortune is all about telling a person what their future holds for them.

We need to know about it, don’t we?

If you start believing in fortune telling, you will be left only with memories.

We need to decide our own futures.

Your fate lines are on your forehead and on your palms.

We cannot draw these lines, neither can we erase any.

Slow down woman.

Since the lines of fate are on our palms, our life is also in our hands.

Hey, you got a call. -Who is it?

They said it’s urgent. If you don’t come, they are going to cut the call.

I’m coming. I’m coming.

Listen, whether you believe it all, whatever’s decided in our fate, is our final destiny.

Only when we try, have a vision for ourselves and have willpower, we can create our own dest

That is what I believe and that is the truth.

Well then, I am going to give you a small test to test your willpower.

I am giving you a week.

Use your willpower and find me.

Willpower or destiny.

Let’s see.

Your beliefs are your own and so are mine.

Let’s see who wins. Here.

You mustn’t ask Pallavi for my address and no cheating.

Challenge?

Challenge?

Challenge? -Challenge?

Nephew, what are you going to do with this card? Are you going to give it to me?

This is already such a waste of money. Giving it to you is an even bigger waste of money.

Oh dear! Such a bad time for you.

Your love is drowning and so is your card.

The only other option you have, to find a bride for you, is through aunt Suramma’s matrimoni

Hello! It just fell in the pot.

It wasn’t washed away in a river.

Decide fast. If not, your life is going to have the same fate as him.

Let’s wait and watch. -Yeah, let’s wait and watch.

Even I am going to see what happens. As if that’s going to pass.

Uncle Subbiah, they are calling you to sprinkle the holy rice.

Uncle subbaiah?

Nephew, where is uncle Subbaiah?

Girl with thick rimmed glasses, where is uncle Subbaiah?

Where else would he be?

There he is. Stuffed himself on food and slept on those sacks.

Oh? How peacefully he sleeps like Lord Vishnu!

You stay close and get him a nice folding cot for him to sleep on.

Uncle Subbaiah, what’s with this blood?

They sat me down on Pitapuram landlord’s chair, right?

The seat was full of nails.

When I asked them for food, they shoved me into it.

You don’t know anything, uncle. Just hold on!

When I asked for a cup of coffee, they shoved me into it.

You don’t know anything, uncle. Just hold on!

Even when I asked for water, they shoved me into it.

You don’t know anything, uncle. Just hold on!

The nails on the seat pricked me and this is my condition now.

Neither can I get up or sit down.

Son, are you looking for your bad time? Can’t seem to find her anywhere?

By the time you go home, I am going to find the girl and bring her.

Be ready to welcome her.

That’s when we will get to know who’s going through a bad time.

Let’s wait and watch.

Uncle, this is Pallavi’s college.

That must mean that that girl studies here as well. -Yes.

Excuse me, did you see this girl here?

No, I didn’t see her. -I didn’t see her either.

This isn’t the college where she studies.

Love failure means game failure.

He failed in love. He will surely fail in the game.

Good. Take advantage of the situation.

Shekar. -Sir.

I don’t know what means you are going to use to win.

Here is the advance.

If you win, I will pay you ten times that money.

Watch for the result on the court. And get the rest of the money ready.

Then do it.

Hey.. Nephew!

Pass! Pass! Pass!

Yes!..Yes!

Yes, come on!

Sorry...

Is my nephew not playing well because his focus is on the girl instead of the game?

Pass! Pass! Pass!

Damn it!

Vashi!

Vashi!

Vashi!

Get up!

Vashi!

We got her mobile number..

The moment when he heard of the news of his lover,

he let go of all illusions, became dynamic and fought with his limbs,

right in front of the eyes of all the spectators.

I am Vasishta; For sure, Vasishta emerged victorious.

I am going to continue the story from here.

He procured the girl’s number.

He called the girl.

They met and it’s a happy ending.

Happy!

It’s his story. Let him narrate it.

To ensure that I win the match, my uncle lied that he procured the girl’s number.

That is friendship.

It seems to me that this man is a lot smarter than you.

Didn't he say that so well ?

After that, I was saddened by the fact that I couldn’t find the girl and sat alone at a rail

Vashi!...hey Vashi!..

That's it..

Stop that. I don’t think I can laugh anymore.

You are so funny. You are always like this.

Hey, Vasishta. What are you doing here?

I am returning from a match in Vizag. Where are you coming from?

I am coming for a fashion show.

Fashion show? -Yes.

Not bad. Your parents are quite modern.

About what?

They allow you to attend fashion shows...

Yeah, right! Like it’s wise to discuss every single detail with parents.

I told them that the wedding was for ten days.

So, you wouldn’t have told them about this boyfriend of yours either.

What? He is my trainer, you know?

Hey, I was just kidding. I was kidding.

Stop.....Vashi!!

I am going to hit you.

I was just kidding. -Are you going to let me catch you or not?

How can you talk so brazenly without any filter?

How is it that you are blaming me?

You vanished from the wedding quite suddenly.

I went to your college to find you.

I searched for you at your dance class.

I searched for you at your guitar class.

But I couldn’t find you anywhere.

Finally, I caught you here.

What?

You went to my college?

Yes!

You went to my dance class?

Yes.

You even went to my music class?

Yes..

Now I hope you understand what destiny means.

When you searched for me, you couldn’t find me.

It was written in your fate that I would meet you at this moment.

And then, you met me.

Enough with you and your destiny.

Even though I didn’t know your name, I went searching for you.

My name? Sahasra.

Does that mean a thousand names?

You wanted to tell me something important that day, right? Tell me now.

What’s that important matter?

I am not in the mood. I won’t tell you.

I asked you to tell me, right? -I told you that I am not in the mood.

Please, tell me.

Now, can I say it?

You said that you were not in the mood.

Well, right now I am.

If that’s the case, tell me.

I love you.

Since when?

Temple.

Do you know when it started for me? -When?

Remember the time you came to take a photo when I was changing into a saree?

Since then.

Love at first sight, huh? -Well, yes.

Otherwise, why would a girl ask a stranger to carry her?

I was sure that you were going to be mine. That is why I asked you to pick me up.

When I accidentally fell from the tree... It really was an accident the first time around.

But the second and the third time, it was deliberate.

Well then, why did you throw away the ice cream that I had?

Well...

Shall I tell you?

Tell me.

Shall I tell you? -Tell me.

I didn’t throw it away. I hid it in drape of my sarong and had it with love.

#What you mean to me? # -#Courage. #

Vashi!? I am thirsty.

Okay, -Get me something.

Just wait for two minutes.

Sahasra?

Sahasra?

Sahasra?

Sahasra?

Sahasra?....

Vashi!, I have a feeling that that girl is going to ditch you.

It’s a good thing that you said those words. If it was someone else....

He and his Papaya business.

Hello, give it here.

Alright. Alright. Okay.

Brother-in-law, you have absolutely no clue about this papaya business.

What?

What do you mean what?

At least these papayas have seeds in them.

But you don’t have anything in your brain.

Good job, you figured it out. Don’t tell your sister.

It was my sister who said that first.

That isn’t what I was talking about, brother-in-law.

In this business, it’s profitable to sell the papaya and the paper separately.

You get a good profit for the papayas and the papers.

It would be profitable to chop you up into pieces and sell you along with the papayas.

Should I do that?

What? You are going to sell me off? -Get lost!

That means Pallavi and Sahasra are friends at the typing institute.

Uncle, catch.

Uncle?

Is this Mr. Pattabi’s house?

Don’t you love your life?

Just go back the way you came.

What happened, uncle?

Nothing. His eldest daughter eloped.

If he sees someone like you, he is going to kill you right there.

Go away, young man.

Vasi, looks like he is out to kill. Why stay here any longer?

Let’s get out of here. Here.

Uncle, if the eldest sister eloped, the youngest one should be inside.

Grandma...Grandma...

You are my golden grandmother.

Please open the door.

I shall open the door.

You will. Okay, open it! Open it!

Even if I die, I will not open this door.

You have no regard for my son and spoke all manner of nonsense against him.

Try to recollect it once.

What happened to the great Sri Sri Sri Veera Venkata Pattabhi Ramayya’s dynasty?

How dare they talk smack about him!

What did you say, what did you say?

I shoudl look at my sister and learn how to behave?

So she wakes up early morning, exercises and showers?

she cleans, and prays to god?..

And I ought to perform the rounds around the Tulasi plant and pray?!

And I ought to read the great epics of Hinduism and recite it to others?!

Apart from studying...

Father, what I want to say finally is that...

You thought that all those people who are silent are the decent ones.

Did you see what happened? How she eloped and shocked you this badly!

And you’ve dragged someone like me, who isn’t really the troublemaker, from the train.

Looking at the mother and son duo, I have nothing but pity.

Now, you know how you messed up!

Here is the lock.

What for?

I will tell you, dear.

pick one amongst these two fingers.

Oh! You are following the same system as me.

Take her and lock her in a room. -Yes, sir.

Why? What did I do?

If someone as traditional as your sister did something like that...

And I really don’t believe a weird one like you.

Drag her!

Where are you going to go?!

I won’t go!

Fellas, hold her!

Let’s iron out your quirks this way! Throw her in.

What did you decide for the other finger? -Both are the same!

Sir, two young men from Sahasra’s college came to meet you.

Tell them to come in.

We are in but can we get out of here?

Sir, these are the young men.

Good morning, sir.

What do you want?

So, basically, we are putting up a play for our annual day.

The principal recommended that Sahasra play the main role in that play and so, sent us here.

Get them chairs.

Oh no!

You are an elder.

We will sit down here.

What story is the play going to be based on?

Well, it’s a mix of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

It’s that kind of story.

This is a very different play.

Mother.

It seems they are going to put up a very different play. Come, let’s hear it out.

I’ve heard enough nonsense for today.

I need to feed your younger daughter. Since you sat down, listen to it.

Young men these days write very good stories.

Looks like they are good at playing many roles as well.

In the opening scene, we see Lord Krishna abducting Sita.

Sita’s role will be played by Sahasra.

Sita is abducted by Lord Krishna?

Son! -Yes, mother!

Do you know what the highlight of this play is?

Forget that. Your youngest daughter has escaped!

I have such a bad time, uncle.

That day, she ran away from the train.

And today, she ran away from her house.

Did you search everywhere? -I searched everywhere.

I can’t find her anywhere.

What? Did she....

This must be their plan.

Take them and chop them into pieces and throw them into the well.

What? In the well?

Fellas! Start your vehicles.

Search for her in the bus stands, railway stations...everywhere!

Hey! Stop it.

He is a kid. I will take care of it.

Who do you think is a kid here?

I am a student! Student power.

I am a basketball player.

If I hit you, you wouldn’t know where you’re going to land.

I am fighter.

If I hit you guys, your bones will break!

Oh?

What?

What did you say?

That I am a kid?

I was kidding.

Come, let’s see if I am a kid.

Come on. Come at me. Watch me!. Go ahead!

Why did you come instead of him?

Just as you said, he thrashed us and threw us in the well, sir.

Why did he spare you?

Sir, he needed someone to report this to you, right?

How did she escape? -Like this.

You put the ladder up and made it easy for her to escape.

And now, you ask such a question. Who benefits from this?

And to top it, there was an unnecessary fight for a scene that makes no sense!

People lack basic sense! Basic sense!

Who put the ladder here?

Weren’t you the one who said it was obstructing your daughter’s path?

It was removed from there and put here.

Oh dear!

If you eat, you won’t be hungry.

If you drink water, you would no longer be thirsty.

If you fall in love with a capricious girl, this is how taxing it really is!

Do you know why I’ve tolerated your actions even though I didn’t like them?

It’s because you seemed happy doing them.

When you were small, I held your hand to help you walk.

And now, I am giving you an earful to ensure that your future stays bright.

If she ran away from home, I wonder who she eloped with?!

Vashi!

What is it mother?

You and your father make up my heart.

When it’s breaking into two pieces... ...I am in pain.

Vashi, I wish for our household to have the same opinion on things and the same thought proc

If my wish is to be fulfilled... either your father needs to listen to you

Or you must...

Dharmiah? -Yes, aunt Suramma.

Did you get the photos? -Yes, I got them.

Once my son sees it, I’ll let you know of our decision.

Okay.

I will ask you just three questions.

If you know the answer to those questions, I will leave you alone.

What happened to that girl?

Where did she go?

Why did she go?

Tell me.

Silence doesn’t answer the question.

Only your mouth can do that...Tell me.

I don’t know, father.

I don’t know.

Not so slowly. Say it loud enough for me to hear.

And say it loud enough so that your idiotic heart can understand it.

I don’t know....I don’t know. I don’t know.

But the only thing that I know is that she is in love with me too.

Did you see that? Did you see the nonsense he spouts?

Just ask the god that you pray to everyday, to instil some sense!

Mother, if possible, ask that very god where Sahasra is.

Come here.

Tell him not to waste his time over a disappearing girl!

Show him these photographs and tell him that he is going to be married to this girl.

Take it! Go away!

Vashi...

your father asked me to give you these photos.

Apparently, you are going to be married to this girl.

Where are you, Sahasra?!

Young miss isn’t here.

Sir!

Sir! Sir! Sir!

Your daughter is missing!

Sir!

His daughter jumped from the cliff! Don't know where is he...?

Sir! Sir! Sir!

(Singing a tune)

How lovely.

There you are.

What happened? What’s going on?

A snake, sir.

You are angry and seething because I drank the milk that was supposed to be offered to you.

Isn’t it so?

All my family is a big fan of you.

My grandfather’s name is Nageshwar Rao.

My father’s name is Naga Bhushanam.

My mother’s name is Naga Mani.

My wife’s name is Naga Lakshmi.

My son’s name is Naga Chaitanya.

Even though he is the youngest, we named him Nag Ashwin.

That is why, we are on the same side.

Please forgive me this time.

Please.

Please?

Plea...se?

Thank God, it went away.

Thank you very much.

(kisses)

I love you.

Sir!

What? What is it?

Your daughter...

My daughter?

...isn’t at the suicide point.

My girl, did you already jump?

Let’s go, sir. Let’s go.

My dear!

My god!

Are you blind?

The story is beginning to get interesting.

And he must be waiting for us.

Let’ s go.

Sir?

Sir?

Sir?

His coat is here but he isn’t here.

Sir, there is his shoe, but he isn’t here.

Shoe?

His coat and his shoe are here.

Warning!

Shoe...coat...

Thank God! Here he is.

He is here.

What is he doing here?

It must either be meditation or undergoing penance.

What’s the difference between the two?

If it’s meditation, he will be out of it in an hour.

If he’s undergoing penance, it would take some years.

What will happen to your daughter then?

Yeah, I wonder the same.

Why are you crying, sir?

Tell me, sir.

What happened?

I was missing my father.

That day, I shouldn’t have gotten angry with my dad.

Mother thinks about the child’s hunger.

The father thinks about the child’s future.

We finally understand, sir.

You are not the one to hide anything inside you.

You are telling us the truth.

Brother,

shall I tell you another truth?

Tell me.

Please, tell.

He sat on a rock.

That’s true.

And you...

You always speak the truth.

So tell me.

You mistook it for a rock and sat on a crocodile.

I see?

Finally,

my father got his way.

He brought Kanchukatla’s family to our home.

Vashi,

apparently the relatives of the bride that aunt Suramma picked for you are coming here.

Why are you hitting me?

You father said so.

Bujjamma, hurry up.

They are going to be here very soon.

Brother-in-law!

Bro!

Sorry, brother-in-law.

Since we are well-off right from birth,

we are used to this.

Bujjamma?

I’m coming.

Namaste... Namaste.

Namaste, sister.

Wife, this is your sister-in-law.

How are you?

I hope you had a safe journey.

Yes, it was good.

Sister-in-law,

Is this your dining table...!?

Yes, sister-in-law.

In our house, such a small dining table is reserved for our servants.

That must mean your dining table is quite big.

To see our dining table, you might have to walk a kilometre.

Oh?

It’s that big a dining table.

Brother, where is your daughter?

She is right here.

Baby.

Why would you use an umbrella at home?

Brother-in-law, since we are well-off right from birth,

my daughter’s skin is going to tan even if she’s exposed to bed light.

That is why we keep using the umbrella.

Baby, these are your in-laws.

Greet them.

Father-in-law!

Go down. Down...

Mother-in-law!

Get down.... down!

Is that alright, father?

Yes, baby.

These are silver glasses.

In our house, we use golden glasses.

That’s because we are well-off right from birth.

Brother-in-law, what is this?

Brother-in-law, his name is Tiger Sharif.

It’s our custom to eat or drink only after he tastes them.

Oh?

It’s because they are rich, isn’t it?

Yes.

Give it here.

It’s no problem. She will wash it off.

Give it to her.

Sister-in-law,

that isn’t for washing.

My daughter doesn’t like the plates and glasses that she uses to be touched by others...

and she doesn’t touch the plates or glasses used by others either.

Where is the son-in-law?

Oh goodness!

Why would you push me forward?

You go.

Baby, take a look.

The groom is good looking.

Wow! Super cute.

Why would you bow down to him? Get up.

(Speaking nonsensical terms of endearment)

Brother-in-law?

Why is your daughter talking like that?

My daughter has an international permit to speak any nonsensical language.

Oh?

Phone...my phone.

It must be for me.

I told them to call me at this time.

Hello?

Hello, Anjaneyulu...

Did you get the Rolex watch ready for my brother-in-law?

Why bother with those?

It’s just two lakhs.

As much as a cup of coffee.

Gosh!

I asked you to get a diamond necklace and a diamond studded waist belt for my sister.

I hope they are ready.

What?

Accident?

Driver is in critical condition?

You?

You are in bad shape?

No, don’t.

You don’t need to get the Rolex watch.

You don’t need to get anything for my sister either.

We can take care of it later.

You guys first head to the hospital. -Isn’t he going overboard with his acting?

Dear?

I hope you like my son.

Brother-in-law,

do you think we’ve agreed to this alliance because of your son’s good looks?

We’ve agreed to this alliance because of you.

Isn’t that so, wife?

Yes, dear.

Baby.

There are power cuts here?!

Let go!

Mummy.

What happened husband?

Why did you get that way?

Someone beat me up on my back.

And they did it in places that they are not supposed to.

Stop it!

Who would dare hit the “born rich” brutally on their backs?

When there is a power cut in our homes, we switch on the generator.

And the generator starts making those sounds.

That’s true, father.

First, go and freshen up And then relax.

Yes, true Go and see if there is hot water. -Let’s go.

Go and freshen up.

Escort them carefully.

Oh goodness!

Shush!

Dear...

Hey!

What happened, nephew?

Did you dream of a ghost?

Boo!

Baby!

I woke him up!

I woke him up!

Baby, why have you covered yourself up so much?

She covered herself up?

Sister-in-law, the maids in our house wear even shorter dresses.

They are called skirts.

What sort of a nuisance is this?!

Anjaneyulu...

About the wedding hall.

How much will it cost for the wedding?

What? Ten lakhs? -Let's go.

Goodness! We are born rich.

Build a wedding hall worth 30 lakhs at my brother-in-law’s place.

Nephew!

Nephew!

Nephew!

Nephew!

Oh my god, it broke.

Nephew!

Nephew!

Apparently, it’s the wedding of the fellow with the rose.

The day after tomorrow is the reception.

They invited us.

I am not in the mood, uncle.

Stop saying that you are not in the mood.

You will get into the mood if you go to such places.

You can escape this noise, confusion and bloody bats.

You think so? -Yes, I do.

Let’s go. Come on!

Priest,

the day after tomorrow, we shall exchange the auspicious offering.

Both the families are going to come to the temple.

I hope you have made all the arrangements.

Where are you going? -Yes, alright.

We are going to a friend’s reception.

What do you mean? The day after tomorrow...

He didn’t come here for me.

He came for you.

Let him do what he wants with you.

He’s arranged for something so loud right at the entrance.

Yes, don’t miss the rhythm.

Yay!

Finally, you got her to say yes.

It wasn’t an ordinary feat, Vashi.

I had to walk 1000 kilo-meters following her with a rose in my hand just to get her to agree

That’s not it, Vasishta.

He always came to me with a rose, but he never said that he loved me.

I didn’t want to drag this further

and so, I agreed.

Well, what I mean is...

Yeah...yeah...

You want to know about Sahasra, right?

She is here.

Go and find her.

I am going to kiss...

Uncle!

(laughing)

The next hymn is called ‘In the city of Madhura’.

#In the city of Madhura #By the banks of Yamuna,

#When the sound of the flute fills your heart,

#love starts flowing and spilling, running and coursing through.

#It flows like a river.

#It’s entwined in your soul.

#It becomes the epitome of age,

#Finally, I caught such a rare parrot. #After a long time, it spoke

#and shocked me with its words.

#She meets my eyes, #Embraces me in return

#And says that she likes me.

#She enters my heart placing a foot inside.

#Spills all her secrets.

#And tells me to remember all of it.

#In the city of Madhura

#In the city of Madhura

#By the banks of Yamuna, #

#When the sound of the flute fills your heart. #

#Shall I get closer? #

#She’s sparkly, shiny, clever and quick, and capricious. #

#Shall I hold your hand? #

#My temperature and heartbeat is rising. #

#The moon misses you when you are not around. #

#When moonlight reaches you, it inundates you. #

# The jasmine flowers miss you when you don’t come. #

#For so long, I was waiting for the day you were going to say this. #

#Finally, I caught such a rare parrot. #

#After a long time, it spoke #

#and shocked me with its words. #

#She meets my eyes, #

#Embraces me in return#

#And says that she likes me. #

#She enters my heart placing a foot inside. #

#Spills all her secrets. #

#And tells me to remember all of it. #

#In the city of Madhura#

#In the city of Madhura#

#By the banks of Yamuna, #

#When the sound of the flute fills your heart. #

I never thought of that.

Sahasra?

It was so...

Sahasra?

Where did you go?

You disappeared from the train so suddenly.

After that, I went to your house.

You disappeared from there as well.

Do you how big a problem that led to?

But I caught you here with my will power. See that?

Hey, why are you walking away like I am some stranger?

Hey, there you are. Naughty!

He is my soon to be husband.

And she is going to be my wife soon.

Didn’t you come for our engagement?

Sahasra?

Hello!

Who the hell are you?

Childhood friend, right?

You are like her brother, aren’t you?

You are like her brother, aren’t you?

A brother, right?

Who the hell are you?

You look black like a pig. Step aside.

Yeah, and you are as fair as a pigeon.

Should we be the ones talking about skin colors?

What is your name?

Chintu.

Hey! Why did you name yourself after our dog?

Why did you name your dog after me?!

Take off your hand.

Let’s drink and happily discuss about this somewhere else.

Sahasra?

Yes, sister.

Light these lamps.

Vasishta.

Why are you trying to avoid me?

Why can’t you look me in the eye, Sahara?

If you didn’t like me,

why did you confess your feelings to me in the train?

I can tolerate everything in this world...

but I cannot tolerate your silence.

Even though my dad arranged for my engagement,

I didn’t bother with it.

Do you know why?

Because I believed that you were the one for me.

When I see you, instead of happiness,

I am scared and sad that you would leave me and go.

There is no Vashishta without Sahasra.

I need you in my life.

I want you.

Please say something, Sahasra.

It hurts.

I am already engaged.

And you are going to be engaged soon.

Every time we meet,

we end up leaving each other.

This is our destiny.

No, Sahasra.

Every time we part, we always end up meeting again.

Even if you leave now and go, we will still end up meeting each other.

And this time, we will be together forever.

This is how I interpret my destiny.

If I leave now, we will never be able to meet each other again, Vashi.

This is the final destiny.

Destiny! Destiny! Destiny!

Vasishta, I am Sahasra’s sister.

It’s true that she is engaged.

The groom is our cousin.

But, all this happened because of me.

She is not at fault.

When Sahasra ran away from home,

she came to me to find out how I was doing.

Sister?

How are you?

Where is your Brother-in-law?

Sahasra...

In the Ramayana that I read every day

Ram must have been happily married to Sita.

But the Ram in my life left me and went away.

Are you even ashamed to come back here?

And why did you bring her here?

You don’t know his whereabouts.

You don’t know his parents.

You lied that you want to learn music from him.

And you ran away with him.

How dare you?!

I informed before I left, father.

Who did you inform?

Grandmother.

What the heck?! Where did that come from?!

That is what Sahasra told me to tell you.

What is this?

Every time it’s these silly games such as pick a finger, etc.

Do you think this is a joke?

Reputation and social standing.

Do you have any idea what people would say?

Aren’t you ashamed to bring her here?

Father, do you value the opinions of the society more than your daughter?

I care more about the opinion of the society.

Father, you always told that...

before I undertake any sort of action, I must always ask my heart.

You have a marriageable daughter.

Did you ever sit her close to you...

and genuinely enquired as to the kind of her husband she wants for herself...

or the family she would like to get married into?

Ask your heart, father.

If mom was around, wouldn’t she have done this.

Don’t talk such emotional rubbish!

Because you used your mother as an excuse,

do you want me to forgive the one who brought about this embarrassment?

Do you want me to tell you what would happen...

if I listened to you and let you both stay here at home?

The other day there was a guy who came by on the pretext of putting up a play.

What is the guarantee that you will not run away with him?!

First, ask her to leave.

And then, you leave too!

Father...

mother gifted this to you with a lot of love.

And you’ve never drank from anything but this.

You threw away such a precious thing.

It isn’t deliberate.

It was in frustration.

My sister committed a wrong because she was rage.

You are scared that if you forgive my sister and let her in the house,

I would run away with someone and do the exact same thing that my sister did.

I am telling you this now.

I will marry the guy you select for me.

It doesn’t matter if he is handicapped or even blind.

I will still marry him.

I will stick to my word.

Please let my sister stay, father.

I will do anything for my sister.

Please believe me, father.

Hello?

Ankita?

Yes, brother.

I promised you that I would get my eldest daughter married to your son, isn’t it?

Yes.

I am going to marry him to Sahasra.

Yes, Vasishta.

She was ready to let go of a great guy such as you.

All along Sahasra behaved like my little sister.

But in this issue, she behaved like my mother.

That means,

the younger sister let go of her love for the sake of her elder sister.

She is really great.

Now I understand why you fell in love with her.

Brother?

Yes.

Did you think I was the kind to let go a woman I am in love with?

Well then, what did you do in those desperate circumstances?

Hold on.

Pour that mineral water into this.

Mineral water in this?

I poured it.

Chinnu,

Sir!

get me the mutton.

Okay, sir.

mutton.?

To snack, sir?

Not for snacking.

I got raw meat for Rani.

Raw meat?

Here.

Disgusting!

Put it in that.

Rani who eats raw meat?

Who is she, sir?

Rani isn’t a person.

It’s a tiger.

Tiger?

Yes, tiger.

Tiger...Tiger? Hide. Hide.

Tiger...Tiger?

The tiger is going to come from there.

It seems it’s coming this way.

Chinnu. -SIr...

Call the tiger.

(Makes a noise)

What is that noise, sir?

He is calling the tiger.

Would you like to spend some time having fun with a tiger and perhaps taking a selfie?

Sir!

What are you suggesting?!

That’s going to be the last selfie one takes in their lifetime.

Let’s get out of here, sir.

You please continue the story.

From that point onwards, we’ve decided to teach a lesson to the guy who cheated Sahasra’s si

You will be thrashed!

You will be thrashed!

Who the hell are you guys?

You will be thrashed!

Oh, it’s you guys.

What is your problem man?

If we discuss the problem, you will be thrashed for sure.

Why did you cheat Janaki?

I don’t need to answer you

That’s ‘cause I am a man.

Alright, why don’t we discuss your manhood for a bit?

Sure.

Did you take Janaki from her home?

No, I was waiting at the outskirts for her.

And she came to me.

So, that doesn’t count towards your manhood’s points.

Nope..

Did you get married in the temple or you got the consent of her family to get married to her

Where did you get the money?

We got married in a temple and we sold two of her gold bangles.

You lose points on that account as well.

Nope..

What about the house rent?

I already told you brother that we sold her gold bangles.

So, you don’t score points there either.

You come here, uncle.

You go ahead, nephew.

You sold the girl’s bangles and got married and brought yourself a car and that gold chain.

Do you have any shame?

I am a man, brother. Why do I need to be ashamed?

Again with the topic of manhood!

Hey..

It's done, uncle.

Are you done?

If the car’s ready, I would have immediately come with you, brother.

Well, your name isn’t Vasishta. For me, you are Vyasa.

Two minutes. I’ll pack everything and come.

Janaki! I MISS YOU

What’s going on nephew?

He changed your name and even he seems a new man.

What did you tell him when you took him inside?

I told him Mahabharata.

What? You told him Mahabharata in a minute?

Sister?

Brother-in-law?

Is this a dream or reality?

I was so egoistic because of my gender.

But someone younger than me, changed me and taught me a good lesson.

Who is it?

Who else? Your soon-to-be-husband.

Take it.

Father.

I will get married to whoever you want.

Vashi...

I promised my father.

Promise...? Don't bother.

I will talk to your father

What’s the worst he can say?

How dare you ask the hand of a girl who’s already engaged?

Do you know what my nephew’s reply is going to be?

Father-in-law, I respectfully ask you to turn your head around and move out of the way.

If not, you are in for a very harsh ride.

What do you say, nephew?

That’s when your father’s going to whimper like a child.

Now I believe it, Vashi.

We can rewrite our destiny.

Just as you helped my sister, help me rewrite my destiny.

Why aren’t you ready for the engagement?

You are still wearing your cotton saree.

Why don’t you wear a nice saree like mine and get ready?

Until my son comes, I will not step out.

You are so silly, sister-in-law.

How many times do I have to tell you?

We didn’t come because of your son.

We came because of your husband.

Woman! Shut up!

What is this, sister-in-law?

You are instigating the servants to gang up on us.

We are tolerating this treatment because of your husband.

We are the doing the same because of my husband.

Remove it.

Remove all of it.

Remove.

Hello?

Anjaneyulu...

what happened to the work I gave you?

We are heading for the engagement.

Did you do what I asked you to?

The goddess statute should be made in shining gold,

and it should be 6 feet tall.

Did you get it done?

The Hanuman statue here at my brother-in-law’s place is made of stone.

Since we are born-rich, this stone statue doesn’t sit well with us.

That is why I asked you to get the goddess statue made in gold

standing at 6 feet tall.

You got it done?

If so, thank you.

Thank you.

Get started now.

You are already on your way.

What? You didn’t start?

What happened?

There was an accident.

The driver needs to be admitted in the hospital.

Anjaneyulu is not there.

There’s no call.

The lord Anjaneya... is here.

That’s true.

Sir,

we are a family that’s born-rich

This kind of insult...

How much wealth do you have?

Wealth, sir?

Remember the grass stack you find in villages.

Well, in my village, our wealth in buried in layers, deep under it.

How can we count all that money?

And how many years can we keep counting?

If you can’t make time to count it, just set it on fire.

What?

You dare talk to me casually to me?

Yes, I am talking casually

Sir,

we are blood relatives of Kovelamudi family.

Shut up.

Every time you spoke you constantly reminded people...

that you agreed to this alliance on my account and not my son’s.

I’ll show you what my son is made of.

Come.

Come.

Look at the trophies and certificates that my son won.

What?

You are here on my account and not my son’s.

If you knew about him, you would have figured how great a man he is.

If you knew about him, you would have known the kind of resolve and determination he possess

He is soon going to be a national player.

He is going to win for sure.

He is going to get the trophy.

Thousands of people are going to applaud him.

And that success is going to make him shine brighter than ever.

Your entire wealth is nothing but garbage when compared to the success he is sure to achieve

My grown-up son could have said that

he doesn’t want this marriage and

could have easily left this house.

But he respected me enough to stay back here.

Please, all of you leave.

Before this gets out onto the streets, please leave this house.

Brother-in-law,

please give it a second thought.

We are a born-rich family.

You...!

Wife, baby, puppy... let’s get out of here.

We will find another match.

Even that dog has better sense than you.

What are you still waiting for?

Take your luggage and your bodies out of here.

Baby, careful.

careful.

Sir, the luggage is quite heavy.

Could we use your car to drop the luggage off?

I don’t think we are qualified enough to help such great people like you.

Please walk your way back to where you came from.

Vashi...

In an obligation to set you straight, instead of understanding your love,

I took a wrong decision.

It’s the ego that comes from being a father.

Ego.

That isn’t ego, father.

That is love.

You are merely worried that I might take a wrong turn and go through pain.

It’s simply a fear.

But I’ve always believed that you would understand me and my love.

And that’s come true

Vashi...

I know what I did wrong.

That is why in order to rectify the mistake I made, I am give you my word.

Sahasra is the only girl who will step into this house as your wife and the daughter-in-law

That’s all.

No matter where that girl is, we will bring her and get her married to you.

Nephew...

this is the appropriate time.

Tell them the actual situation.

Please come.

Come and sit.

What is it?

Mom

and dad.

I got hold of Sahasra.

What?

She agreed to get married.

That’s good, son.

Let’s hurry and go to her house and talk it out with her parents.

Let’s set an auspicious date for further proceedings.

Let’s go!

Yes!

You come and sit down.

Why did you drag me when I was putting on my pants?

The entire fuss in the wedding is about you.

You mean by fuss are you going to kick me or something?

Nothing like that... the priest is on his way here.

Until now, the priest has performed 999 weddings.

Yours is the thousandth wedding.

I am here. I am here.

Come in, priest.

Why would you say come in, when I am already here?

Where is the groom?

Hello... It’s me.

What’s your name?

Yedukondalu.

Where are the other six?

Oh?

My name itself is Yedukondalu.

Interesting! Seven hills?

Listen, Mr. Seven Hills.

I want this girl as my wife for the next seven lifetimes.

I want you to recite strong mantras and prayers that could make it happen during our wedding

All of it is your greatness.

yes.

Priest, start the holy bath.

Bath?

Last month, you told me that it was a festival and made me have a bath.

A month ago?

Hold on. Hold on!

Since it’s your wedding, have a bath.

I won’t ask you to bathe for an entire year after this.

A year?

That’s what they say and keep getting me to have a bath every month.

Do you think this is like eating food that it needs to be done everyday?

It’s a holy bath... Please agree.

Just agree this one time.

Because it’s the wedding, please agree.

Come here, wife.

Do I have any choice?! -Convince him some how.

Please agree.

Hello there...

Could you stop making those dung cakes and come and scrub his back?

Hello?

Why would they touch my body?

Listen, Mr. Seven Hills.

If I go to the bathroom or washroom or sleep or even wake up,

everything needs to be done by you.

And while you are helping me, you need to recite strong mantras.

And there are a lot of choices for you.

Multani mitti, Sunnipindi, Sandalwood. - You dare make me do all this?

Watch how I am going to deal with you.

...would you use Sandalwood or Santoor soap?

To be on the safe side, they even brought dishwashing soap.

My body is yours.

Have a great time.

Urgh! Why did I smell him?

Young man?

Either to wash your body or make sure it’s scrubbed down...

Please hand me that..

...those are not enough.

You need Peda (cow dung).

What does Peda mean?

It means cow shit.

In pure Telugu, it’s called Aavu Peda.

Oh?

It’s warm.

It’s relaxing as well.

Yeah, right. Wait for it.

Now...

Stop. Stop!

Whatever you do, you must keep reciting the mantras.

I will keep reciting mantras, you say mama.

What does mama mean?

means its me

Then, why do I need to say mama?

I’ll say that I agree.

Young man, you are very smart (Sarcastic).

(mantras) I am unfortunate.

I agree.

I am evil.

I agree.

I embody evil thoughts.

This is definitely me.

Wait.

They don’t sound like mantras. Why do they sound like you are scolding me?

Well, young man, it’s means bad fortune be gone...

... evil thoughts begone.

Yes... yes.

Continue. Continue.

Start from the beginning.

(chanting) The worse of men...

Oh my!

Young man.

I don’t know how many kilometers I must scrub away to see your skin.

Instead of showering once a year or a month,

if you shower daily, you would be someone who would have done society a great service.

If you are going to say that about my back,

I wonder what you are going to say about my entire body.

You are indeed smart.

I already said I am.

I hope you didn’t forget anything. -How far along is the list?

Brother...

at least today, will the jewelry I ordered be delivered?

Of course.

First, take care of the food arrangements.

We’ve already counted that, brother-in-law.

Approximately 1200 plates would be polished off.

What do you mean by 1200 plates?

That means 1200 people will be fed.

Sir, some important people are here.

Such an important house will have important guests.

What’s that smell?

Brother, they are giving my son a bath.

Go ahead.

Did you pack everything? -Everything’s there.

You stay quiet. -Namaste...

Namaste, sir.

Namaste

Sit down.

You are...

We are from the groom’s side.

We came on behalf of Vasishta.

My son and your daughter are in love.

If we exchange the sacred offerings...

What are you talking about?

My daughter is already engaged.

The wedding is in a week.

Why do you think you are worthy of asking for my daughter’s hand?

We are very worthy, sir.

We are good... -honest...

well-behaved... -respectful...

reputation... -respect...

Stop that.

Why are you reciting these like it’s some sort of a duet?

Just because you got some sweets from Pullareddy sweet shop...

some fruits, a silk sarong, and a silk saree,

do you think I will get my daughter married to your son?

Oh god! What do you mean?

Father...

married couple are the ones who receive the sacred offering.

That is why I am giving it to them.

Hey! Why did you take it?

Father, Vasishta was the one who made us get back together.

He is a very good guy.

Not just that, father-in-law.

He taught me a lesson,

made me realize the sanctity of marriage,

set me straight and helped me get back together with Janaki.

Even though he is young, he is a very mature and responsible person.

Oh, that’s how you are going about it, huh?

You wanted to repair the elder sister’s life just so you could get together with the younger

I am not the kind to play such dirty tricks.

No matter who is in that situation, I would have done the exact same thing.

Father,

just as lord Krishna says, we’ve done what we came to do.

The rest is on him.

Father...

Father, I don’t want this wedding.

I want to marry Vashi.

What is this?

What did you promise me and what are you saying today?

I told you that I would even marry a handicapped man,

but how could you ask me to marry a stupid man?

Shut up!

You... Take her away and detain her in a room.

Father, please.

I am asking this respectfully of you.

This is not persuasion. This is stupidity.

You want to take a girl from such a well-to-do family. How do you think you can treat her ri

You are the kind to lock your daughter up in a room, in such a big house.

And we are the kind to hand her over the keys to the treasury

as soon as she steps into our house as the daughter-in-law.

A good family is much better than wealth that is just going to melt tomorrow.

That’s the difference between you people and us.

Vashi...

we like your selection with regards the girl you have chosen for yourself.

And the girl loves you too.

Don’t delay this any further.

It’s up to you how you want to bring the girl into our family.

Father...

we didn’t come here thinking that father-in-law is going to change his mind...

with just a few minutes of conversation.

We are just saying this because it’s just courtesy.

Sahasra will come to our house. Come...

That’s it.

Let’s see.

I shall see how she is going to go to your house.

Father, please.

Father! -Janu, hey!

She is going to be my wife.

Uncle...

why is my soon-to-be wife being locked away by my mother?

What is this?

If we don’t lock her up, someone else is going to snatch her up.

Piece of ... ...Shit!

Father.....father....

Do I need to get married in such an explosive environment?

Tell me, father.

Speak out.

Son!

You must have learned how stupid you are because your mother married me.

At least in this generation, it would be better if you get married to a better partner,

Our family will become better.

What a thought! What a vision!

Father, you deserve an award.

Vashi?

Sahasra, why are you crying?

I am scared.

Scared?

I am a basketball player.

If I throw the ball, it must end up in the basket.

I know how to persuade your dad.

Forget about all this.

I came this far up,

give me a hug.

#I was carrying the milk pot and heading to Panjagutta, #

#A young man from Borabanda threw a stone at my pot. #

#He threw a stone at the pot. # #A stone at the pot. #

#And he gulped down the milk spilling from the pot. #

#How do I go home with a pot that’s got a hole in it? #

#I am very angry with you. #

#I am very angry with you. # #I am very angry with you. #

#I broke the pot just to see you pursing your lips. #

You!

Let go of her hand.

The sacred texts say that if you hold a woman’s hand before her wedding...

it’s as good as getting married.

I will not let her go.

I know how to make sure you let her go.

Hello?

Do you think I am some sort of a pigment to leave her when washed?

I am the authentic son-in-law.

There is absolutely no chance of that happening.

I’ve already dreamt it.

Sahasra marrying me.

The sacred thread I tied around her neck.

The wetness on my feet from you washing them.

And the photos documenting these events.

Father-in-law, I dreamt this early in the morning.

It’s going to happen for sure.

A quarter of an hour before you dreamt of all this, I already dreamt of something else.

At the golden hour.

Sahasra marrying the guy I got her.

And you would standing underneath a current pole three kilometres away from the wedding hall

And with you is a bottle of liquor and a mad dog.

And a depressive song playing on the radio beside you and with your friends clicking picture

Challenge!

Challenge, father-in-law.

Challenge, my never-to-be son-in-law.

You keep saying ‘Challenge’ for a while now... What is it about?

I found out about your game plan.

The actual auspicious time is at 7 o’clock.

But I advanced it to 5 o’clock.

Do you know why?

Because you cannot leave things as is.

So, you decide whether you want to play the game or get married.

Your wish.

That’s how a challenge needs to be.

Challenge accepted, father-in-law.

Let’s see if Sahasra is going to be married to me...

or to the idiotic fellow that you selected for her.

What happened? What happened?

The coin has fallen inside.

What do we do now?

Nothing to worry.

You will go to the bathroom in the morning, right?

Yes, at five o’clock.

Yes, yes, yes.

Check in the bathroom if it’s going to be heads or tails.

We need to know for sure.

Praneeth...

I challenged my father-in-law.

I am going to get as many score in as possible.

Im going to, you should take of the rest.

No problem...

The match is going to go smoothly and so will your wedding.

I have full faith in you.

Take it. Take it.

Brother-in-law... they’ve put a board in competition with ours.

There are a lot of tents pitched before the Assembly.

But, by evening, they will have to pack up and leave.

This is Raavipati’s tent.

If anything goes wrong, we will not hesitate to take action.

Yes, we will not hesitate to take action.

Won’t you stop this...

Let it go.

She finds comfort in saying things herself.

What?

Husband, did you see who came to the wedding in a sarong?

Who else can it be other than that Kanchukatla fellow!

Come in. Come in. Come in.

Mr. Pattabhi Ramayya.

This board has Sahasra as the bride.

And that board has Sahasra as the bride too.

Where do we go?

You came for the wedding in my family, didn’t you?

Why bother with other nonsense?

Just shut up and come in.

Yes, I’m coming.

Let’s go. Let’s go.

Hey, Anjaneyulu.

Come. Come. Come.

Do we need this now?

What’s happening, brother-in-law?

You are born-rich, aren’t you?

Where is your luggage? And your whole entourage?

And why are you dressed like some worker?

Mr. Raavipati...

that is a very sad story.

That Tiger sharif took all my wealth and eloped with my daughter.

Come... Come... Come...

It’s a good thing you came to the wedding.

Namaste, sir. -Namaste.

With you at the wedding, we’ve grown stronger.

Pattabhi...

I heard that your daughter is in love with some guy...

and you are getting her married to someone else.

You are doing the right thing.

Don’t encourage.

You’ve trained me well, uncle.

Come and sit.

This is always the case when we come to a wedding with you.

What is it, brother?

Why bother with their family issues?

played around a bit, ate their food, enjoyed their hospitality and left.

Come, let’s go.

I’ve not been in touch with the wedding scene.

Brother, do they serve non-veg food here?

Yes.

Come. What a fate!

Careful... your prosthetic teeth will blown away.

Sir, what happened the last time was that...

You are no match for his speed.

Here.

When you an opportunity, powder this tablet and throw it in his face.

And then, score.

How are you, sir?

Have you eaten?

Drop the card...

Drop it.

Yes. I took it earlier, didn’t I?

Yes.

Hey!

Looks like I crunched on a small stone.

Uncle Subbiah! Big uncle Subbiah? -Don’t look over there.

Don’t look there.

Uncle Subbiah!

Don’t look there.

Uncle Subbiah, why are you there when our wedding is here?

Come here.

Whatever you want will be served right where you are sitting.

Come.

He will come. -They want to host us.

Let’s go and enjoy their welcome. -Go then.

You are going to have the time of your life.

Everything is going to be served right to you.

But you will not be able to eat anything.

They are the kind of people

who don’t serve you food but will ask you if you want a betel nut wrap to finish your meal.

Those kind of people.

Oh dear!

Shut up! -Hello?

Anjaneyulu?

Did you courier the Ruby bracelets for both Subbiah uncles from Dubai?

Did you start?

Come here directly.

If you think you are going to be late,

get the ship directly to Hyderabad.

Yes!

What?

The ship drowned?

Oh dear!

Then, what about the ruby bracelets?

Just get those and swim all the way from Dubai to Hyderabad.

Parents bless your son with Akshintalu.

Akshintalu means rice, isn’t it?

You are a smart one, young man.

That’s true.

Father?

How is it that a lion like me was born to a jackal like you?

Ask your mother.

You are a smart one.

That’s true.

Mummy?

When you were newlyweds...

was there a very smart guy in the neighborhood?

Well,

there was Professor Jagannatham in the neighborhood.

Thank you, professor Jagannatham.

Disgusting!

Priest.

If the society gets to know that professor Jagannatham is my real father,

do you think I would have a bad reputation in the society?

Do you think Pandavas mind about their real parents?

Some things are just that way.

You shouldn’t bother about such things.

But your curiosity to know things that are hidden...

You are a smart one, man.

That’s true....That’s true. That’s true.

Now, that’s enough.

Damn it!

Pass!

Vineeth, pass!

Hey! Come on.

Hey!

Yes! -Damn!

"Flourishing and glorious unfolding in his distinct sport, completely immersed in victory."

"Flourishing and glorious unfolding in his distinct sport, completely immersed in victory."

"He studies his sport with victory as his goal."

"In the sport, no matter whether he plays defense or offence, he is always looking forward te future."

"I am Vasishta."

"Victory is imminent."

"Victory is imminent, o’ Vashista."

You saw the score you made?

That margin is impossible.

This game is ours.

You go ahead.

Good luck, buddy.

Nothing to worry.

Before he reaches the wedding hall,

our men are going to attack him and break both his legs.

He would never be able to play his whole life.

(Chanting)

You!

Groom, hold the sacred thread.

Beat the drums louder!

Beat them louder!

(Reciting mantras)

...and what happened after that?

What happened after that?

Hot coffee and send us some hot snacks.

Sir! Sir!

We don’t want snacks.

We want to hear the climax.

Finally, what happened, sir?

Just hold on.

I’ll be back after going to the washroom.

Wait for some time.

Sir! Sir!

The story has gotten to a point where we are dying in anticipation.

Why would he go to the washroom now?

Maybe he needs to use it and that’s why he went.

Why would he need to use it now?

Of course, he would use the washroom when he needs to.

What exactly happened?

Did he lose his legs?

Did Sahasra get married?

Tension...

tension.

Perhaps that is the reason why he ordered coffee.

I am coming.

Coffee for you.

Madam...

I don’t know who you are,

But, that man let us stew in suspense and ordered coffee.

Why are you stressed?

Why am I stressed?

He said that he would tell us his story and...

made us walks miles and miles

and finally, when it was time to narrate the climax, he goes into the washroom.

I will tell you the rest.

You will tell us the rest?

Sit down, madam.

Sit down.

Please tell us.

Well, did Sahasra get married or not?

Vasishta is very intelligent.

He already met with the priest and devised a master plan.

Oh?

Are you a priest at all?

Why would you separate lovers?

Why?

Listen priest, if that wedding happens,

you will be born as a dog in your next life.

Fine, I’ll give you ten thousand bucks.

Try to delay it for a bit.

Young man...

forget about giving me ten grand.

I will give you twenty grand in return.

Please stop that wedding.

What? What’s happening?

I presided over many holy and auspicious events.

And that fellow made me do such demeaning work.

He is making me wash him.

And even after he uses the washroom, he’s making...

Do this.

I will try and delay the wedding as much as possible.

You come there at that exact moment.

And I’ll ruin everything.

According to Vasishta’s plan...

the priest signaled Sahasra.

Young man, hold the sacred thread.

Beat the drums louder! Beat them louder!

(Chanting)

Oh?

My sarong! My sarong!

Oh goodness, the fire!

Run! Run!

Come, dear.

Come

Sahasra...Sahasra...

Please calm down.

Don’t cry.

Okay, up until then things seem to be on track.

But what happened to his legs?

Did they cut them? Tell me...

Do you know what happens when willpower and divine power combine?

I already expected this.

When you changed the auspicious hour,

I figured something like this would happened.

Pattabhi,

if there is fire when the wedding is about to take place,

it is a sign that the groom is no longer to be.

Oh, good that you remembered this.

A while back, fire broke out at the wedding of someone in Shivaji’s family.

And the groom was no more.

Did he die or just pass out?

He died.

It doesn’t matter if things burn or for that matter if it burns your body anywhere either.

And however long it burns.

But it should never burn under a sarong..

No!

Stop that.

They are going to keep saying things like that.

Sister...

go and get him dressed in another new sarong and bring him.

Brother...

our entire family might jump in the well

but this wedding is not going to take place.

If need be, we would push our Chintu onto the rail tracks.

But we wouldn’t agree to this wedding.

Hey...

Why don’t you go in and change into a new sarong and come back?

After listening to all this, if I am going to go in and change and come back out here,

I am a fool.

But I am a smart man.

I won’t fall for your tricks.

Father,

I think it’s better if we get Sahasra married to Vasishta.

That’s true, father-in-law.

Even the elements are in their favor.

That’s true, son.

If people get to know this, who is going to marry Sahasra then?

Someone else is going to marry her.

Uncle, there is only one solution to this confusing situation.

Let’s toss.

You still have that coin?

Yes. He worked hard to extract it.

Yes, I put in a lot of effort in the bathroom to extract it.

Uncle,

if it’s heads, let’s assume the Vasishta is right.

Ready?

Heads!

Vasishta is right.

Vashi...

Stop.

The other day, when my father came to ask for you to be his daughter-in-law,

your father insulted him.

Now, if your father doesn’t apologize to my father,

this marriage will not go forward.

Her father seems very angry. Is he going to hit?

Brother-in-law,

please forget everything that happened.

Please marry your son to my daughter.

The saying that marriages are made is heaven is not something to be trifled with.

Let’s do it.

(Singing a merry tune)

#Marriage festivities#

#Marriage festivities#

You’ve explained it all in great detail.

Who are you ,madam?

Please pick one between these two fingers.

Sahasra!

Yes!

Here is our wedding picture.

Vashista and me.

There. The father and son are heading over here.

My son, Agastya.

Greetings!

My daughter.

Are you the one who wants to be a director?

Yes, sir.

Thank you so much for your story.

I am the one who should be thanking you, dear.

I am happy to recollect such wonderful things from the past.

I want your son to play your role in the movie.

No. No.

Perhaps, if you ask his mother, he might agree.

Please, madam.

Please. Please.

Come on, do it.

Looks like he agreed.

He agreed.

I like everything about this story.

But I am quite irritated with this Tiger Sharif fellow.

Sir...

Don’t be so disrespectful towards him.

Why does that bother you?

My father is Tiger Sharif.

What?
