Original subtitles

1993.

American software engineer, Gary Kremen,

develops a dating site called Match.com, exclusively

for the single men from his home country.

At the same time,

in our hometown of Pollachi, my grandfather, Aarumugam,

arranges my mother's marriage without her consent.

And my mother runs away from home with the man she loved.

YOUR DAUGHTER, REVATHI

1996.

Gary Kremen's Match.com flopped

and my mother's runaway life flopped too.

My mother went back to my grandfather,

carrying me in her womb and my sister in her arms.

And he took us in without a word.

I won't let you go through that again.

From now on, you all go by my word.

He started shaping our lives to fit his will.

In 2008, as Apple launches the iPhone with 3G and GPS tracking

the world swipes its way into Tinder, Trouble, and Hinge.

But my grandfather's custom design for my face?

I was prime bullying material all through school and college

All that drama and trauma shoved me straight into an inferiority complex

2019.

Trouble finds its 1 million users in India.

Now everyone's got a phone in their hand with a dating app.

But only a few actually found a match.

As an app developer, I wanted to change that.

In my app, everyone gets a match.

My ultimate aim is to find forever emotions in this swiping world!

That's the whole idea.

Welcome to

"Nee Forever."

Hey there, beautiful people!

You get caught copying clips, you'll end up in the Principal's room.

But if you watch clips and finish it, it's a bachelor's room.

She's my breath, my soul… but someone else's wife!

Where's my hero PR poster? Guys, where are you?

Who are these clowns?

Oh, holy shit!

Oh nana! Oh junkie!

Let's flip our style a bit

You the best? Let's vibe with the new trend

It's fun all the way, So let's trash this tension

No doubts, just learnin' life inch by inch

The world's in your hands, With the youth up front

Post it with swag, This is the Gen Z jam

Oh nana! Oh Junkie!

Let's flip our style a bit

You the best? Let's vibe with the new trend

Whatever happens, I'm not missing this investor.

Sir, this is Nee Forever.

Meaning loyal to just one.

Like one-woman man.

These days, people talk to everyone, jump into relationships, and swipe like crazy.

You can't do that on this app, it's all about just one person.

Lemme explain just once, sir.

Just once, sir.

The hero-looking guys get all the matches, sir.

The other 90% average dudes, they are our investments.

That's "Nee forever" for you, sir.

Please, sir!

Drop it on Insta, AI's your new friend

ChatGPT's our feast now!

Chats on Bumble, dates on the app

Life's cycle now runs online

Selfies got self-love Straight up skyrocketing

Even the introvert guys are Straight-up rocking

Watching reel after reel, The heat keeps on growing

And now we got that superpower glowing

Oh nana! Oh junkie!

Let's flip our style a bit

You the best? Let's vibe with the new trend

The world's in your hands, With the youth up front

Post it with swag, This is the Gen Z jam

Greed hit my heart, And a million dreams exploded

Keep the dreams vibey, man They're free of cost

Hey, look! Mini Devarakonda's in the house.

Not mini but a boomer.

If the man himself is so long…

Idiots!

Hey?

Hold up a sec!

Yo, stop the elevator!

You jerk!

Huh?

How dare she?

If I step out, that's the end of it!

End of what?

Instead of scratching,

why don't you press the button and go talk to her?

Can't do it, huh? Then zip it.

What a chicken!

That's epic.

- How's that? - Ajay?

- It's your turn. - Yeah. One sec!

For ten months, you carried me.

Enduring pain like no other, just to bring me into this world.

What's more painful than that?

You were made to live apart from your marriage and your daughter.

Forsaken by my own lineage,

what place do humans hold in my world?

It was extremely emotional.

Brilliant short film!

- Great! - Thank you, sir!

We can cover the narration in the next meeting.

Okay, sir, thank you!

Raghavi...

Yeah… tell me.

Why so glum?

So, who played you this time?

Don't even get me started!

Like always, I was scrolling through a dating app.

Looks like Binocs Boopathi, huh?

No, it can't be…

No freakin' way that's him.

You do it only in the app?

Face to face, they're average Joe!

But on the dating app? They look like Surya's long-lost brother.

It's all just edits and AI!

Okay, how was the work you checked out?

I called to fill you in on it.

The meeting went great.

They liked our work.

We've just got a narration next week.

After that...

Roll, camera, action.

So, tonight...

It's all about action!

Hit him… hey?

He's on your left kill him!

Looks like the boss is stepping out.

But aren't these four walls your whole world?

What the hell is he hiding in there?

It's my kinder joy man, don't you have it?

Yikes!

I'm off to my hometown

Dude?

Found any alliances?

Hey?

Bro… Your granddad?

Granddad passed away, dude?

Rocky, stay hidden!

Ajay?

Welcome, Ajay!

With those specs, we'd recognize you anywhere.

Your grandpa raised you really well. He's a really good man.

Here you go, dear. Your granddad's special.

Hey? Nephew! When did you arrive?

Where's your place in Chennai?

Huh… What, Uncle?

Where do you stay?

Um… Guindy, Uncle.

Oh! It's Hindy?

You'd be surprised to hear the name of my hometown.

It's Dickwell.

Our forefathers seemed very creative with dirty' place names.

Expose the truth.

Idiots!

Get down!

Nephew, come on in.

Nephew, come on in.

Grandpa, see who is here.

Abhi! See who is here!

- Hey, stop. - Grandpa?

Come here.

Turn around.

Revathi?

Did you call me, Dad?

So this is the nonsense you both choose to do?

Who comes back home like a captive?

Fantastic!

Why's Grandpa not letting us to play Ludo?

That's because

mom made a mistake once by not listening to grandpa.

Grandpa has been angry with me since then.

Mom?

Hey, little one?

How are you doing?

Sissy, you really see me as little?

- You'll always be my little one. - Forget it.

- Where's your little one? - She…

She was just running around, excited you'd come.

Director madam, you caught up in your thoughts?

- Huh? - It's nothing, ma'am.

To be happy in life, it seems like a cupcake is enough?

Perhaps parents aren't necessary.

The mouth can lie all it wants.

But… your eyes.

Expose the truth.

I know my Mathi won't miss a thing.

Whatever you're yearning for in life will come to you at the right time.

Let's see if you still remember me then.

- Alright? - Ma, why?

Don't you like me being at peace?

Got any veggies as a side? Bring it.

Having Rasam?

No, it's poison.

What? Poison? You want me to spill on your guy?

Eat now!

Brother, we've spoken with the girl's family.

They agree, as long as it's your grandson.

- Ajay, dear? - Huh?

- What's your profession in Chennai? - App creator.

Operator?

Indeed, I'm an operator.

When do you plan on coming home again?

No idea!

Be sure to stay a couple days when you come next time.

I took care of your sister's marriage.

Now it's time to find a good girl for you.

Watch out, Arumugam brother,

what if Ajay comes back with a girl he's fallen in love with from Chennai?

Any second now, something's going to come flying at me.

Oh, God…

A few crumbs went to waste.

His mother's suffering here because of that nonsense.

What else?

He must marry the girl I choose for him.

Those willing can stay.

The rest can leave.

Running away from home isn't new around here.

Mom, I'm heading back.

Please talk to me, Ma.

For a mother, nothing hurts more than being separated from her son.

Mom, I'm sorry!

Grandpa's doing all this 'cause he's scared I'll fall for someone, right?

Ma, ask him to find a girl.

I'm ready to get married.

So, the whole crew's united.

Does this mean I won't receive any attention now?

Cheeky!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you, Mathi!

Every year, I say the same.

This is the day they didn't want me and left me in an orphanage.

Here we go again, same story.

When do we get to cut your cake?

Definitely...

In my life...

The moment I let go of my past...

And feel truly happy...

That day will be my real birthday…

Trash!

Thought I would share this trash with you!

It's fine.

Hi, Vinoth!

The "Nee Forever" idea looks very interesting.

I wanna meet the person. And the team "Desire"' also. Okay?

This girl?

Yeah, it's her!

Today, I'll confront her.

Hey… Where are you going? Oh no! I'm all alone!

Are you alright?

The other day…

You… me?

Who is this guy!

I've met him before.

You jerk!

Sir, this is Desire.

And this is Nee forever.

- Right. - Thank you.

Lust! Sex! Very important, correct?

Of course, sir!

Very important. They're the rhythm of life.

Nee Forever!

What, forever?

Sir? Now, it's all about that one night.

Nowadays people don't even wait till night.

Bro, relationships these days are way more casual.

In the coming generations,

if sex and social status disappear,

men and women might not even talk to each other.

That's the future.

The time for people to see that the internet is full of lies

and getting that slap-down isn't far off.

Let's try to be authentic with them.

Is he for real?

Have you been in a relationship before?

Sir?

Ever been in love with somebody?

The end!

A film by Mathi Nisha.

Your approach to the subject is quite sensible.

But…

Let me ask you directly.

How do you feel about love?

Sir?

What do you mean?

Oh! Sorry, sorry.

What's your view on love stories and films?

Very simple.

To teach a subject effectively,

a teacher must have deep understanding of the subject.

Do you know the consequences of the emotion called love?

Presenting an app like this feels like a waste of my time.

Ever thought about doing a love story?

Like "Santhosh Subramaniam", 'Something Something?"?

Create a film that's a full package of love, family and emotions, Mathi.

A love story, right?

Hmm!

- Let's do it! - Perfect!

Prabhakar was right.

How can someone who's never fallen in love create a love app?

Ew, no!

Hey techie, don't you dare fall in love.

Or you'll be out on the streets later.

We're making a romantic film.

I said we are doing a love story.

Gone mad or what?

That's not your cup of tea.

We'll take the story to a different producer, forget this one.

If you had a love story ready in hand,

we'd be shooting it right away.

We toss an opportunity aside thinking it's just a stone.

Only when it lands in someone else's hands

do we realize it was a diamond.

Alright, let's just swipe from some good Korean-American flick.

Play it cool!

Every story needs a quest.

But for a love story,

experience is the key.

You're set on falling in love.

Grab the phone and download Trouble app!

What?

What app?

Man, the feel of meeting a beautiful girl for the first time...

Even though she knows we're following her, the way she turns to us, that feeling.

Can your app really capture that?

Hey! Techie?

Can't you tell these apps are all about that?

Leave! Get out of this room single.

But come back as a couple.

For our love story,

let's pick someone interesting and make him a case study.

Totally legit.

You're planning to play the love card just to get your script written?

AKA case study!

What is this?

Are all the girls in this country taken?

Got the Trouble dating app on your phone?

- Yeah, I do. - Lemme see that.

Stay out the chatbox, bro. Heads up.

Hey?

Do people really meet up after matching on this?

More than just meetups happen.

In this dating culture, there're just two types.

One are the players.

The other type...

Get played!

Are you single?

No commitments so far.

Same here!

Yet, I've decided to fall in love.

Really?

If you don't mind,

why not open up, understand, and fall in love?

Putting that much effort is kinda tough.

Just for you,

for an hour,

only thousand bucks.

Hey?

You have returned single?

What's with that stare, dude?

Hey?

I told you to come back as a couple but you're here like a drunk shit.

He's drunk?

Hallelujah!

What happened?

How dare you? You're with me…

You'd video call another girl?

Roaming all day and still no girl who is single, to be found.

- God! - Delete everything.

Or I'll be filing a lawsuit.

What a pervert!

Guys like him honestly gross me out.

She is alone.

Catch this. Don't miss.

Excuse me?

- Are you single? - Of course!

- Give me a minute. - Who's this joker?

Red or pink, which one's your pick?

Oh! I'm a stupid.

I love you!

Even with all the family drama, no one's slapped me yet.

Give me your hand!

He's tipsy, think he'll beat me if I ask something?

Dude?

Man, I'm itching for that thousand-buck girl's number.

You got it?

Hey?

Today, confessing love face-to-face with a girl...

Is it such a taboo?

No matter who I ask, it's always "committed".

This makes zero sense to me.

Dude?

These days, approaching a stranger girl is considered wrong.

Hey?

Let me show Prabhakar what real love looks like.

As soon as he sees me falling, I have to break up.

- Keep it hush-hush, alright? - Amazing.

Hey?

Breaking up's not that hard.

It'll happen naturally.

Keep acting like this,

it's gonna make you crazy.

Why?

- Don't I look like a total hero? - No, you moron!

Hey?

- Saw it all today. - What?

Without any fear, I'll charm a girl…

A guy with the will can get any girl to fall for him.

What am I supposed to do now?

You need to listen to all I've got to say.

Where there's a girl, there's a way!

Bro, take the left!

Yeah… now take right. Two steps.

You're turning me left. Break! Break!

Where is me?

Who the hell is this guy?

He is my cousin!

What the...

Man, I ended up on a dating app too.

Dark age it is.

Dude?

I don't get a single word these girls got in their bios.

Can you read that to me?

Laugh funny means?

Make me laugh with your jokes, you're a swipe right for sure.

Love for dogs?

"More than you,"

"I like dogs."

Strictly no means?

Meaning, "Don't be that guy asking for nudes after just a few days."

So why the heck are they even on the app?

Even the AI pics are dope!

I could really use a puff.

Feel like I just had a baby I didn't ask for and named it water buffalo.

- Hey? Where's my phone? - Oh, no.

That's with him, dumbass.

Hey?

Hey? Gimme the phone.

Psychologist it seems.

I have seen him before.

You jerk!

She good?

I've met her before.

When I went for the narration, he was in the same building.

Total clown!

Hey? Why did you hit like?

Didn't you say you know her?

I only said I have seen her.

She told me…

She told you… what?

She said…

She said…

She said… I'm a jerk.

I'm proud of you, my boy!

Oh?

So you're one person online and another in real life?

The perfect subject for your experiment.

He is the one!

Hey? She liked you back!

"Hey, Buttiful?"

"My mornings were never this buttiful?"

"Thanks to you?"

I know, right? This Rocky is Shakespeare 2.0.

Nobody does it better than Rocky!

"Hey, Buttiful!"

They don't deserve an immediate reply.

Give it some time.

Crazy!

Thanos got Captain America!

Tomato!

Tomato?

Is hovering for a reply our whole job now?

Hey?

- What really counts with girls is… - What?

Patience?

- No, stamina! - Hey?

It's Trouble, dude.

"I am not much of a mobile person."

"Can we meet in person?"

Idiot? You idiot?

If your first message is about meeting up,

he'll assume you're only there for fun.

Hey…

I don't care what he thinks of me.

My only focus is whether he's right for the job.

I'm not here to waste time on texts.

Oh?

So this is what it's about?

Good luck, Mathi!

No!

You're not Mathi anymore.

Aishwarya! Let's go!

The way you're acting scares me.

- Why? - Is this really needed right now?

You've had the app forever, but you've never done this kind of stuff.

Once you choose to deceive,

you have to wear the mask.

Alright, so you've picked a guy from a dating app.

But handling him mentally comes with some ground rules.

What are they?

You can go on as many dates as you want.

But the most important

are those three dates!

I read that in a book.

Wait, there's actually books about this?

If there are books for that kinda content.

Why not for this?

Shut up and hear me out.

Hey, drama queen?

Am I trying to get married to him?

For marriage, brewing a good cup of coffee might do the trick.

But!

This is more psychological.

In person, he looks like a nerd.

But on the dating app,

he looks like a Karthik Aryan lookalike.

Maybe!

He seems very interesting.

We should find out who he really is, right?

After we get close to him,

his emotional dependence will be completely on you.

On you!

On you!

What should I do now, sir?

Ajay, step out of your comfort zone first.

Let's put the dating app on hold for now.

Dude. There's a spot just for lovers.

Take her there.

Don't get nervous, Ajay.

This is all just for the app.

It's full of couples here.

Don't mess this up.

Talk confidently.

Hi! I love you.

It's not "I love you", okay?

Hi… I'm Ajay.

That's right!

Talk just like I taught you.

My heart...

Is melting away...

Hi.

Aishwarya.

AJ…

Ajay.

Ajay! Ah… please!

So?

So?

So…

So?

Shoo!

So?

Hope you're having a lovable time together!

Welcome to Lovely Rains.

Shall I take your order?

When the waiter hits you to order, don't just jump in.

Skip the boring "what do you want"

and ask what's special here first.

Tell me, what's more special than some average guy meeting a stunning girl

at your place?

Then a merlot infused espresso would suit you both.

Then...

Two servings, please.

Have we met before?

Of course not! No way.

If I'd seen a girl this beautiful before,

I'd have asked her out for coffee.

Man, she's blushing.

Remember, you're not there to love him.

So no matter how cheesy his pick-up lines get,

just roll with it, laugh it off, and bounce.

If he didn't click, there's plenty more fish in the sea.

So yeah, let's do this.

Looks like it's working out, Rocky!

So, why dating app?

To find love!

Nowadays, directly saying "I love you" to a girl...

Leads to getting slapped.

That's why I ended up using Trouble.

Life's thrown a lot of hits at you, it seems?

Yeah… no...

So, why are you on Trouble?

Basically I'm a psychologist.

Whoever comes my way,

whether it's their anxiety or depression,

they dump it on me

and leave feeling relaxed.

I'm in a fragile place too.

Of course!

If there's no fun in my youth, then what's it all for?

That's why I'm on Trouble.

Oh?

For you girls, boys are just the fun sidekick.

So, how do you like your date partner to be?

Can't say date partner.

But I want a life partner

who's fun, adventurous,

and surprises me with little things and little efforts.

That's the little dream in my little heart.

That's little for you?

Great!

When will I impress her, fall in love, and build the app?

Prabhakar sir!

Feels like I'm the only one talking here.

Why?

Your little heart didn't say anything?

Why didn't it? Oh, sorry!

It did.

It said plenty.

Ajay?

You've already missed a lot in life.

But no matter what, don't miss out on the feeling of love.

You'd go to any length for that.

It told me that.

Right!

Yes! Scapegoat took the bait.

- So? - So?

She's smiling, time for Rocky's lines.

9888 -78 -78...

My number!

I'd love for that to be in your phone.

Someday, when you swipe through your contacts,

I'd love my name to be there.

When you see it, I'd love for you to call me.

I'd love to get to know more about you.

Hey… Chill!

Are you okay?

Yeah!

I'd love to surprise you more like this.

For now, we don't need to share our numbers.

Through the Trouble app, we can get to know each other more.

Until I get comfortable with you!

Oh yeah! Sure… sure

Absolutely fine!

By the way,

do you live in Chennai?

With your parents?

I'm from Pollachi.

Kaliyapuram.

It's me, my mother, my sister, Jhansi.

What happened?

Excuse me?

Yes, ma'am?

Who are those people in the pics?

They're all our customers, ma'am.

What kind of money do I gotta spend on food for you to snap those photos?

Yes!

Oh! It's pouring!

Next meet?

Good question, mind if I think it over before I answer?

Of course!

Bye!

Hey?

Why are you all soaked?

Seriously, that much rain?

He drooled all over me.

What did she say in the end?

She said she'll consider it before answering.

It's finished.

Better forget her!

Found it!

Mathi!

He could've avoided that line.

It's fine, just block him.

We'll find a new scapegoat.

Hey?

Dude?

Why's your girl not on Insta, Facebook, or anything?

What's the matter?

Rocky?

I'm not on any of them either.

Don't judge someone by that.

Not everyone needs to be on social media.

If you're free tonight, let's go for a walk?

Why's he blushing?

Did she message him or what?

Hey?

Getting that first message from a girl gives you a real high.

Hey? Man, just don't get addicted!

Shut up, man!

What's up with his new vibe?

Hello? Fire department?

Looks like two stomachs are on fire.

- What was that, dude? - Hmm?

Just a fling!

Untitled project starts today!

After that meeting, I was worried you wouldn't text me back.

Hey?

Who's your favorite person in the whole world?

Except for me!

Oh?

Except for you…

In this world, I truly like only myself.

What about you?

To be honest, I don't like myself at all.

You don't like yourself? Why is that?

Alright!

You love yourself, correct?

Why is that?

Wait… wait…

I'll answer that.

Now you truly know who you are.

What you like, what you don't, what you want, and what you don't want...

You've got it all figured out.

Correct?

But...

I don't even know who I really am.

Then how can I like myself?

But I love my mother.

So, how much do you like your parents?

Yeah… I like them…

Okay!

Now, it's my turn.

Your favorite place?

Without having to act for anyone,

the place where I can be myself.

My room! That's the place.

And yours?

Mine is…

We're going there now.

Welcome to my world!

No matter how happy or sad I am in life, this is my go-to place.

Oh my soul, Don't end me this way

Don't conquer me with your emotions

Without saying a word,

or thinking about anything,

just stand still and watch the clouds drift by.

After a while,

you'll start to feel like you're floating along with the clouds.

Far away from this polluted world.

You really are a psychologist.

Thank you!

Feels like you're not just doing this for the app.

Is it getting real?

Oh, no! Where did you get this?

If he sees this, he'll swear you're a serial killer.

These days, guys are just happy to get a girl.

But they don't think about loving and caring for her for a lifetime.

When you truly love someone, you start to see who you really are.

We learn things way beyond what you knew before.

You'll learn too.

Love will hit you hard.

Really hard!

Be careful.

You for time pass!

Mathi, I've a question.

But if there's no crisis in the story, it'll just get boring, right?

Crisis?

Looks like there's a scriptwriter within everyone.

We're beyond that.

We're the audience!

Exactly! So…

One-for-one.

And that's our aim.

Yeah, Mom?

Next week, the girl's family is coming over.

Make sure you're here.

Give the phone to Mom.

Revathi?

Very nice!

Tell him to come home.

Dear?

Why are you being quiet?

Didn't you say you'd be back?

Okay, Mom, I'll come.

Payasam on Parotta!

Milkshake in a dry fish curry!

I'm going to vomit unique stuffs like this!

I'll be an Instagram sensation overnight.

What say, dude?

- Yes, ji… okay, ji! - What happened to him?

Okay, ji! Perfect, ji!

I'm okay with the payment, ji!

Dude, it's a north Indian wedding, our first order.

Free booze! Pani Puri! Northie aunty!

You bring your girl!

I can set an aunty for myself!

- You? Just come. - I'll come.

Bro?

If I had a thousand bucks, I can also come.

If I ask for money, suddenly they go deaf.

Good friends!

Move! Just go!

- Move closer. - I don't care what people think.

- I don't feel any love towards her. - You monkey!

Have you gone mad?

Why did you rush into this marriage?

He's got 100 crore worth of property, even I might marry him.

Shut up now!

Hey, Rocky? Come here.

Come here, man.

Yeah, coming, ji!

Yes, ji!

- He just can't seem to love. - Is he mad, ji?

I didn't say that.

- Do one thing, go dance over there. - Okay, mother, ji!

Let's see if that works.

One plate pani puri for ten rupees, ji!

Alright, dance crew boys and girls,

let's put the flirting aside and focus on the work.

The Northie is shouting at us.

Hey, budget Anirudh, show off a couple of steps.

Only then will we get the payment.

Oh, my heart!

I'm changed because of you

I melt beneath

With the fierce spell of your eyes

Now is the moment to let our souls collide

The softest breath ignited into fragrance

Hey, my little jhumka!

You whisper love with Every blink of your eye

Oh, come closer, my little jhumka

I'm dancing to the thunder of dhols

With that honeyed eyes, Stealing my breath

Don't kill me with that ruthless love

With those floral words, Don't shake my world

Oh, my black-and-white heart, Don't you dare add color

Oh, my heart!

I'm changed because of you

I melt beneath

With the fierce spell of your eyes

I'm ready to get closer! How do I make my way?

I gotta kidnap you And tuck you in my pocket

Who knows what time holds for us?

Our beautiful story's path remains unseen

Don't fall for me, oh boy!

For though you see me, I'm just a mirror's gleam

Don't try to stop the clouds From pouring rain

Even if you try, it won't Listen to your pain

Oh, my heart!

My heart! Oh Heart!

I'm changed because of you

I'm melting away!

With the fierce spell of your eyes

Our dreams must unite, Let's find a new way

All I desire will come true I'll live for myself today

Tell me why I feel like this Turning up the heat

It's tuh tuh turning like the summer

Movin' like this Firing up the beat

You're my capture, Girl, you're a stunner

Tell me why this feels like Falling in the lava

Baby all your moves are Hotter than the fire

Don't you wanna move it

Groove it

Baby girl just give me your number

Hey, my little jhumka!

You whisper love…

Stop it!

I will only get married when I feel a love like this.

Hey, doll, where are you going?

Me too!

Hey, boy? Where are you going?

Why did I bring you here? What have you done?

I'm doomed!

- Rocky, I'm gonna kill you! - Oh, ji! We must run, ji!

Guys, run!

The cup's ours this year!

- Where is Cooky? - He's dead.

We got away!

- Go straight! - Wait...

- I told you to go straight. - Dude, watch it.

Ajay?

Where are we going?

- Oh my! Oh my! - Ajay?

Surprise!

Thank you so much, Aishu!

For what?

Hey?

Are you okay?

Apart from Cooky and Rocky,

in my hometown, school or college...

Nobody ever really talked to me.

Many days, I cried quietly, and no one ever knew.

Like everyone else, I wanted to dance, sing,

drink, get caught up in little dramas.

Fall in love…

I used to hate myself.

But now, I feel like I've been reborn.

You know? I've started admiring myself lately.

How are you like this?

Like… ridiculously awesome?

Hey? Seriously? You sugarcoating me now?

We all carry our sorrow and pain inside,

while chasing happiness and love outside.

For once, can we flip it around?

To live the life you want, be the version of yourself you love.

That's it!

Right?

That's it!

Took me years to understand this.

Good, good!

This is not right, Mathi.

If this goes on, what you write will start happening.

Let's see!

I can't run anymore.

I'm being attacked by my underwear.

All my life,

I've been wandering blind, chasing nothing,

never once knowing what happiness was.

I only understood the meaning of happiness in life after Aishu came.

Dude!

But the reason behind all this… is Prabhakar

So… sir in love with Aishu?

Without a doubt!

What if she finds out you're only talking to her for an app?

Alright, forget it.

Go to your grandpa

and tell him that you're gonna marry her, can you?

- Huh? - Hey?

I'm your friend.

I owe it to you to say this.

You're right.

I started talking to Aishu only for my own benefit.

But now… I can't do without Aishu.

Here, life never goes the way anyone wants, Rocky.

It won't!

Same like you, always off track!

- Dude? - Why's he coming toward me?

I'm in love with Aishu!

Okay?

I just want a happy life with her. Lifelong!

I'll walk away from Nee Forever without a second thought.

- Please walk away. - Hey? Hey?

Listen!

I'm so loving this feel.

Don't you dare ruin it!

Hey? Nod your head, say okay, shake it!

Come on, give me that signature head shake!

You're so beautiful, man!

Lost cause!

My blessings to you!

God bless you far away from me.

Ajay?

Aishu, what are you doing here?

So you were with me just for an app?

Ajay?

Aishu?

When did you…

Doesn't look like you're ever gonna take me to your favorite place.

So… I invited myself!

Why is it so dark?

A room should be like this!

With a family this beautiful

how do you live away from them?

Some things only look beautiful from afar.

You've come all the way to my house.

At least now

can I get your number?

Okay!

I'll give you tomorrow.

Take care!

Bye.

What happened?

Could be a network problem.

Let me restart it.

This has never happened before.

There's no way Aishu did this.

What if the app's crashed?

What? The account's deleted?

What happened? What could it be?

What if I'm just overthinking this?

Aishu, you were just at my place yesterday.

Didn't you like my room?

Or… didn't you like me?

Did I do something wrong, Aishu?

Where do I even look for you, Aishu?

Let's not share numbers for now!

I didn't even ask anything about you.

Let's use the Trouble app to get to know each other.

Until I get comfortable with you.

Until I get comfortable...

My heart!

Is melting away

My heart

Is melting away

My heart

Is melting away

My heart

Is melting away

Oh, my heart

Is melting away...

In the end, what did she say?

She said she'd surprise me in a way no one ever has before.

Wow… she actually played you good.

She ghosted you.

I don't understand?

When they're bored, they use dating apps to pass time.

And once they're done, they ditch us like nothing happened.

I'm not just blaming girls.

Boys do the same thing.

Even… You used that dating app for your own benefit, right?

Dude? This really hurts.

People stare at a photo for ten minutes, fall in love, erase it, and disappear

Taking this seriously was your mistake!

Hey? Hey? Hey?

Girls are very clever!

They choose what we get to know and what stays hidden.

Tell me.

Dude?

Ajay's girl is flirting here with someone else…

It just feels so wrong.

She's with another guy.

She is with another guy in the hotel.

- What am I gonna do now? - Listen!

This all began on an app.

Let it end with the app too.

Why didn't you warn me about all this before?

You turn the friends who give advice into villains when you fall in love, don't you?

Look!

Finding her isn't even a big deal.

When she stands in front of you again, you must tell her to piss off.

Yeah?

If you don't do it, it's like shoving my face straight into the shit!

Understood?

Falling for dating app love and bawling like a baby.

Hear my story, and sing where Sorrow alone sways

Sways!

Is love a burden or a sin

A lesson I failed along my way?

My days yearn for a fall of flowers And my soul waits, endlessly longing

My eyes wonder, is this Love's stillness or its ache?

It yearns!

My soul is yearning...

Mom?

Why's your voice so low?

Are you feeling unwell?

Nothing like that, Ma.

I'm actually doing great, Ma.

Your grandfather's really happy.

The bride's family is visiting tomorrow.

Should I send you her picture?

Mom, if you like her,

then I'll like her too.

I'll be there tomorrow, Mom.

Oh my heart, the honey bird

Left me featherless, And took my love with it

Melting away our letters of love, As the minutes turn my path

I'm lost because of you

Oh, my heart!

Hey… smile a little.

We've reached your house.

Buddy!

Now that we're in Pollachi, we're gonna vibe it fully, okay?

Greetings, brother!

How much, brother?

Rs. 50?

What kind of family is this?

Failed to raise a daughter… and a grandson too.

Truly a shameful family.

Dude?

Are they welcoming us?

What a family!

Greetings!

What on earth is this, Ajay?

This is the first half of the script I'm working on.

How's it?

It was amazing the whole time I listened.

I still feel sorry for Ajay's character.

I'm curious to see what Aishwarya is going to do to Ajay.

Only after this

will I find out too.

Taking risks for your ambition is fine.

But now, by getting involved with his family,

I feel you're making a terrible mistake.

ANBU STUDIOS, KALIYAPURAM, POLLACHI

If winning means making a terrible mistake,

then I've got no choice.

I've seen many womanizers.

But this is the first time I'm witnessing a "manizer"!

You actually believed I'd leave you so soon?

With no wife by his side,

he still celebrated the naming of his tenth child.

It's time to run away!

I really missed you so much, Ajay!

I'll never, ever leave you again.

Tell her to piss off!

If you don't do it, it's like shoving my face straight into the shit!

Understood?

Hen shit!

Okay! Let's vanish.

Okay! Nice meeting you all!

Oh! Run...

- Hey? - Legendary!

North or south, just pick a direction and disappear, dude.

Uh-oh, it's a two-bathroom emergency for me.

God, get me out of this mess!

God! Oh God, save me, please!

God? Sir?

- Emergency, sir, need your bathroom... - Hey, get on the bike.

- ...before I make a mess here. - Just hold it for a while.

Sir!

- Come on, hop on the bike. - Come.

I told you not to trust him… Now look at the mess he's got us into!

Brother? Thank you so much, brother!

Also can you show me where the restroom is?

God will bless you for that!

Brother, mind bringing us some juice?

- Oh, you want juice? - Hey, I feel like I've been here before.

Hey! This is the same house!

Oh, God!

Planning an escape? Not easy!

Your underarm hair's poking me, brother!

- Get inside! - Oh, mother!

God! Run…run

- Where the hell did you go? - Welcome back, guys!

Are you even my best friends?

Someone who saves you in trouble is a close friend.

But you tried to close me, friend!

I'm already in a toilet emergency, you traitor.

I came… and you're upset about it, Ajay?

Hey? No!

Oh! This guy is impossible.

Sir… Sir?

Madam, look at what sir is doing!

- Madam? Hurry up! - Ajay?

Sir, please don't do this!

- Sir, please get down! - Grandpa?

- Please, don't scare us. - Come out, please!

- Open the door, Father! - Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Let's talk this out. Open the door!

Open the door!

I have opened it!

Oh, just go and bring someone.

Guys, break the door.

They didn't let me smoke!

Grandpa!

Do something!

Father?

Father!

Father...

What is all this, Father?

How could you do this?

What happened now?

Father, please get up.

Father… why would you do this?

So… you broke the only fan that was working?

Your trait!

Every trait of yours is in your son.

Together, you've all disgraced me!

Ajay?

It's so hot in here!

Careful, dear.

What's happening?

Grandpa, that's not fair!

You pretended to fight with your grandson,

and now as a family, you're just cleaning the cobwebs?

- Time to vanish! - Run!

- Dude, you were epic! - Shut up, man!

I was actually shitting and had no clue what was going on!

Oh, no! Grandpa! Oh, it happened to grandpa?

Show me the temple, I'll pray for grandpa!

Grandpa. we can't live without you!

So this is why you went to Chennai?

Did you even care about our home or mom, even a little?

You saw that, right?

On the very first day, grandpa hanged himself!

Oh?

Family drama in action?

Ajay… do you even realize how serious this is?

Sister!

Ever since I started noticing things,

I've done all I could to protect mom from grandpa's scolding.

You did your part too.

Yet nothing changed, did it?

You followed grandpa's wish and married uncle.

But are you truly happy?

I don't know if I'm truly happy.

But I'm with mom.

That's my happiness.

Mom's happiness lives in our happiness.

Let mom decide whether I'm wrong.

Ajay?

Come to the front gate with your friends.

Bring that girl too.

Me? Why?

Come, dear.

It's been quite some time since I did this ritual.

Now you have changed your looks.

Let all the evil eyes of the world be gone in a flash.

God knows how many evil eyes were upon you.

Dear, don't they practice this at your home?

Mom, I haven't spent much time at home.

Okay, spit.

He isn't home much either,

Sorry, Ma!

I wish I had told you about Aishu sooner.

It's my mistake.

It's okay, spit.

Grandpa?

Grandpa, how are you feeling now?

When is that girl leaving our house?

Let her know you'll marry the girl I choose.

How many more years are you going to stay this stubborn?

I've never seen everyone happy together in this house.

Why, Grandpa?

It's alright if no one here is laughing.

I just don't want outsiders laughing at us.

So, what if the outsiders laugh?

Do we matter to you at all?

If you didn't matter to me, you wouldn't be questioning me like this.

Because of you, I've lost all happiness.

I lost my peace.

I'm away from my mother.

Even I've lost myself, living like a lifeless shell.

Some kind of lucky break,

Aishu came into my life.

She taught me life,

what happiness feels like,

and helped me find myself.

But you will never understand all this.

At least after this, let everyone live in peace.

Talk as much as you want. Say whatever you want.

I'll still be me.

You shouldn't end up on the streets like your mother.

Grandpa?

Don't hang yourself next time.

Try sleeping pills instead.

You won't miss it.

If you want, I'll buy it for you.

When you fell from the rope, I was the one who saved you.

Not the people who gossip behind our backs.

And she's my guest, she's staying here as long as I do.

I came here just to tell you that. Got it?

Amazing!

Ajay?

Hey?

Ajay?

- Ajay? - Hmm?

I came here to fix all your problems…

But I had no idea I'd stir up this much chaos.

I'm really sorry, Ajay.

Whenever there's trouble, I used to want to run away…

But now,

I feel like staying and fix it myself.

The problems aren't new here…

But me speaking up against my grandpa...

That's new.

Thanks to my psychologist.

Alright!

I've come to your native for the first time.

No surprises for me?

Be ready by tomorrow morning.

We're going out.

Okay!

- Have this. - Father?

One more idli?

Grandma, I want one.

- Grandma, one for me. - For me too.

- Hey, Rocky? - Ma'am?

Ajay, and Aishu didn't come for dinner?

Ajay said he'll come shortly.

But I don't know about Aishu, Ma.

So, nobody called them for dinner?

Whatever it is, she's a guest here.

Inviting her to dinner doesn't mean we lose our pride.

He's a man of dignity.

Man of dignity who already had four idlis.

Hey? Where are you going?

Sit down, serve me the idlis.

Fifteen idlis might disappear, sit down quickly.

Otherwise, everything will be over. I'll go bring Ajay.

Hey?

Come on.

- And then, Ajay… - Ajay?

You cheeky monkey.

Did you eat?

It's late, aren't you coming for dinner?

Mom, you eat first.

Grandpa might make a fuss if he sees us.

How long do you think you can stay like this?

He left already, angrily washing his hands.

Come with me, Aishu, we'll eat together.

- Mom? - Aunty!

It's just…

I am not supposed to tell you this, but…

It's been 30 years

Ever since I eloped and got married.

The place we entered with all our hopes of living well, refused to accept us.

We'll be shattered.

When I stood losing everything…

Only my father accepted us.

Your mother went against my word and now she stands with everything gone.

I won't let you suffer the same fate.

From now on, you all go by my word.

His anger has its reasons.

For the mistake I made, my children are still bearing the punishment.

You all keep sharing your sad stories.

By the time you're done, your son-in-law will finish all the idlis.

I'm hungry, I'm going.

Are you coming to eat or not?

Mom, you're not alone, we're here!

Hello?

Talk to me, bro! You called me and you're keeping quiet?

For once, my stomach feels truly full today.

Is this a blessing or a curse?

I really don't understand!

Alright!

This is exactly why I warned you. Come back now

Aishu?

Let's go!

Come on!

- Let's take an auto. - What about this?

- But I can't ride a bike. - You can't?

How dare they!

Scram!

They're crossing all limits, how dare they take my bullet and just go?

Now I see why people move away from their hometowns to work elsewhere.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is playing with other's lives.

We can't allow this to go on.

We have to do something for our friend!

Of course! We'll get it done today.

Just see how we pay respect to uncle today.

Come on!

How do you like our village?

What is your biggest fear?

I'm not sure whether it's fear or longing.

I've never witnessed my family sit together, share laughter, and talk freely.

A deep longing, hoping it will happen one day.

A fear that I may never get to witness it.

Come. Sit down.

You were going to ask me something last night, but mom arrived first.

You sure?

Yeah?

When I saw your family photo in Chennai, I realized you don't have a dad.

But even at home, there's not a single photo of him?

You don't have to tell me if you aren't comfortable.

No…

Nothing like that.

Sometimes I feel like sharing this with someone.

Yet I've never shared it with anyone.

My parents are separated.

In fact,

this is the reason behind every problem in the family.

My parents separated even before I was born.

You know, I've never seen my father's face.

Who he is, what he does, I know nothing about him.

But all these years, my mom has never spoken ill of my father.

You've never asked your mother even once?

I've asked countless times.

When kids at school asked me who my father was, I didn't have an answer.

I've asked Mom all those times.

After a certain age,

I stopped asking.

If someone brings up the life you were denied, it hurts, doesn't it?

The past may have taken away many people from us,

that was beyond our control.

But in the present,

we must cherish and never lose those who are here for us.

Hello?

Mind helping me?

Grandpa is probably asleep.

Most meaningful day of my life!

In my life, the moment I let go of my past

and feel truly happy...

That day...

Today has to be my birthday!

Wait, whose birthday again?

Today, it's my birthday!

What? Today's your birthday?

Aishu, today's your birthday?

Hello?

What are you up to?

Who? Me?

The total dignity of your family is dancing… and I'm watching.

Cooky. It's Aishu's birthday today!

Oh, wow!

Come upstairs!

Let's celebrate here!

I need just one help from you. Please!

Ladyholic, huh?

Okay, come!

Happy birthday, Aishu!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday!

So this is what family feels like…

Am I here to betray the ones who love me so purely?

If I had a mother, she surely wouldn't forgive me.

Look at him. I feel jealous, Mom.

Unlike us, at least let him find happiness.

Happy birthday, Aishwarya!

One last day in this house that embraced fake Aishwarya…

I want to live as the real Mathi, and then I'll leave.

Hey?

Dude, I'm going to propose to Aishu today.

Oh God! Bro, do something to save him.

Grandpa?

I want to talk to you, grandpa.

Unlike what you all think,

I'm not in love with Ajay, grandpa.

In schools, principals may seem strict.

So students don't like them.

But the principals...

They care deeply for the school and the children.

Grandpa, I see you just like that kind of principal.

In this house,

though no one realized your love for them...

But I saw you do everything out of love for your family.

I never wanted the emotion called family.

But you…

And your family...

Changed me so easily, grandpa.

Please try to understand Ajay's feelings too.

Do you know what his biggest wish is?

To see you all together, enjoying each other's company and truly happy.

That's all!

Someone told me.

The past may have taken away many people from us.

That was beyond our control.

But in the present,

we must cherish and never lose those who are here for us.

You've raised your grandson really well.

I envy him, grandpa.

Mom, it's late, time to head out.

- You guys ready? Let's go? - Yes, yes, we're ready.

Tonight, I'll be leaving, grandpa.

I don't want to be a burden on you anymore.

- Watch your steps. - Did you take everything?

Yes, Mom, I did.

- Go get Aishu, we'll go ahead. - Okay, Mom.

Grandpa!

Your anger and strictness are totally fair, grandpa.

But if there were no such thing as love, we would all be orphans, grandpa.

In this house, when was the last time you heard laughter, grandpa?

We're together after a long time.

Aishu, you were right.

- Father? - Ajay!

Aishu is the right one for you.

What is it?

In this house, it's all talk…

And the elder does all the work.

It's not enough to just want to play Ludo.

You have to clean the place first.

Still standing?

- Grandpa, I'm coming. - We're coming.

Point out which one to lift.

- Uncle, hold this. - Handle it carefully.

- Hurry up! - Grandpa?

Thank you, grandpa!

Uncle, this one?

Put it on my head.

- Your head? - Ajay!

Get the dice.

Check out how I roll--

Wait, enough of your rolling.

Give it… Give it to me.

In Chennai, you changed me.

After coming here, you've changed my whole family.

I was with you only for an app…

I know, it's wrong but…

Now…

Aishu!

I love--

Just for today.

Don't say anything, Ajay!

Let me talk.

In my life,

I've never received this much love…

And I've never carried this much guilt either.

What guilt?

My name is not Aishwarya.

I'm not a psychologist like you think.

But I'm a filmmaker.

I spent time with you, talked to you,

even deceived you… all for a love story.

I deceived everyone around me.

Now the burden is too heavy to bear.

For the first time in my life, I realized what it truly feels like to have a mother.

Now, even this looks like a script.

I'm cursed, Ajay.

I don't deserve this.

One minute.

Has all this time between us been a lie?

After all these days… just one day? One second. Were you not true to me?

I've said it.

I've said it all to Ajay.

Except the love I felt for him.

Why…

Can't I lift this veil of sadness?

I'm drowning in!

I'm fading away

Consumed by this endless ache

Will the tides of this season turn?

And wash away this endless pain?

A blaze from far away

In my every heartbeat

It's you

It's you

It's you The pain that I feel

Can you hear my wailing?

Please say something, mother.

So much has happened.

And you didn't breathe a word.

Why are you telling me now, huh?

If we had told you before, you would've stopped us.

Sorry!

I did it knowing it was wrong…

But I did it to the wrong person.

What a dialogue delivery skill!

Okay, you're the director… But there's a limit, Mathi!

Would you go to any lengths for your ambition?

- Mother? - What should I even say?

Mathi, it's not about whether I forgive you or God forgives you.

The boy must forgive you…

Imagine how much pain his question must have carried.

Just go apologize to that boy, Both of you!

Why should I apologize?

It's all your fault.

You devil!

The one who will marry you? His life's over!

But the one who married you? Already dead.

Even to stand in front of him...

I'm not worthy.

It's you

It's you

I wither away, but my sorrow remains...

Hey, Mathi!

Alright, man, we're leaving.

We knew that cheaters would deceive us, yet we still got trapped.

Take care.

Won't this season change?

Won't this pain wash away?

But my days transform unyielding

All around

It's you!

It's you!

It's you!

I sing the sorrow

Will the wind bear your voice?

Why did they leave without saying a word?

For a question that seeks the truth, the answer is disappointment, Mom.

That's why a lot of people went from being cheated to becoming the cheaters.

What is it, lil' one?

Mom?

At what moment did you know Dad was the one?

The moment I saw him.

Back then, we hardly got to meet.

Talking was almost impossible.

So, how'd you meet Aishu?

On a dating app.

Oh? Matrimony?

Yeah, kind of.

Mom?

I've been meaning to ask you something for a long time.

But I thought you might feel bad if I asked.

It's okay, tell me.

How did you and Dad get separated?

How do you cope with the pain of being apart?

You've got to figure out the answer for your life.

It's you

It's you

It's you

It's you

It's you...

- Hello? - It's me, Mathi.

Tell me, Mathi.

- I want to narrate to your producer. - So, the full script's ready?

Then we can pitch it to the producer tomorrow itself.

I'll confirm the time and tell you.

Dad!

When I meet you in person, I wanted to ask you so many things.

I even thought of scolding you more.

Now I'm totally blank.

Do you know what it's like to grow up without a father?

You can't understand the struggles I went through in school and college.

Why did you and Mom even get separated?

Love!

How are we going to live!

Where are we going to live? Without thinking all that, we eloped.

At that time, love seemed enough.

Only after marriage did real life kick in.

I'll kill you!

Crushed by unbearable poverty,

I gambled and brought my family to the streets.

My pride as a man rose above everything else.

You think I can't do it?

I'm doing all this for you. Can't you see that?

We have lost so much for our love.

Struggled enough!

Enough is enough!

Our kids don't need to see this.

Let me talk to my father.

- He will-- - Hey!

Leave!

Go to your father's house.

I'd rather die than live at your father's mercy.

Any man who hits his wife

never ends up well.

So after that, you and Mom never saw each other?

Stay and play inside the compound, don't go out.

Son?

Come here.

What's you name?

I cannot tell my name to strangers, who are you?

I am your mother's friend.

Can you hand this letter to your mom?

For your lives to be good, I understood I must stay out of it, Revathi.

Look after our daughter and son well, Revathi.

Take good care!

How are you enduring the pain of this separation, Dad?

That pain!

We've accepted it.

That's all.

Not all lovers need to stay together.

After Revathi left me, every minute,

the love I feel for her…

What made you think of meeting me after all this time?

Love, Dad.

It's the same love you talked about.

It's Ajay, Dad.

My name is Ajay.

Ajay!

But the smoking…

I never listened to your mom.

You thought I will listen to you?

Just go!

Okay, Dad, bye!

The days we're waiting for Are not far away

Even if God comes down, Nothing will change

There is pain in the smile your eyes wear

Like a bird

It drifts away with time...

Sir?

Hi, Ajay, come on in.

Hi, sir!

- How are you? - Great, sir.

I understand why you're laughing, sir.

I'm not the type to act this way.

A girl showed up.

And turned my life upside down.

Who knows who cursed us?

But just as we start to feel what love truly is,

the one we love slips far away.

Hi, ma'am.

- Mathi! - Mahalakshmi.

Please sit.

- Shall I start the narration? - Yeah.

What is there to be perfect about in love?

If we always wanted clean food and fresh air,

we'd all be dead by now.

Everyone has their own flaws, sir.

The prologue of this story...

We can meet countless people in life.

But...

When someone comes for us,

everything around us feels beautiful.

Our generation is quick to look for the next love after a breakup.

But...

Only memories can fill someone with all sorts of happiness.

After the split...

It can give you so much pain too.

A person bad at every relationship

and creating a love app, that's a huge failure.

In every situation, he has been true to Aishwarya.

I don't even know her real name.

But Aishwarya?

Has only thought about playing him.

Moreover, I met that girl on a dating app called Trouble.

While chasing her ambition,

Mathi lost everything she had.

I'm going to build my app even better, sir.

But...

What matters most is what I realized.

And you're the reason for it.

Thanks a lot, sir.

Sir, can I ask you something?

Yeah?

Was your marriage love or arranged?

What's there to be perfect in love?

None of us are perfect, sir.

Meeting my father after all those years apart made me understand.

Sometimes, to not lose the love they had, they chose to live separately.

That's it!

Was your marriage love or arranged?

Love marriage!

How can you buy him a bike without consulting me?

If my son likes it and I bought it, why would I even ask anyone?

I'm your husband, damn it!

When you were chasing money, did you forget you're a husband?

Now you act all caring?

My question is, is it about buying Raj a bike, or the fact that I paid for it?

I'm done with it, I can't live with an egoistic person like this!

Brother, it hurts me when Mom and Dad fight.

If they keep fighting like this, will we be separated?

Please do something and tell Mom and Dad not to fight.

Dad, I need to talk to you today.

Mom is on the line.

It's all done!

Okay?

Your script has reminded me of my past.

Thank you!

- We'll definitely do it. - Thank you, ma'am.

Sir, your order please.

One cappuccino!

Bro? It's you?

- Don't you recognize me? - Uh… no?

You came to my wedding three months ago.

You and your girlfriend? You were all dancing.

I will marry only when I experience a love like this.

Me too!

Oh? Hi! Bro? How are you?

Just a minute. Hey, Pooja?

Hey… Hi! How are you?

You are…

You two are the ones who went away refusing to marry?

Because we refused marriage that day, we started talking.

That's when we fell for each other.

Today we're together as a couple, all because of you and your girl.

The way you both look at each other is pure love.

You've come alone? Where is your girlfriend?

Hey, Ajay, how's work going?

Yeah, sir, all good!

Good to hear!

Ajay, I'm heading somewhere important.

And I feel it'd be good if you came along.

Can you come?

Just tell me the location, sir, I'll be there.

Hi, Ajay!

- Hi, sir! - Thanks for coming.

Sir… come on!

There's a screening happening here.

The producer is someone close to me.

- And VIPs also. - I was invited for this.

I thought having you with me would be nice.

Sure, sir!

- Shall we? - Yeah.

Please come!

He is coming.

- I'm going in, you take care of him. - Okay, ma'am, yeah!

Welcome, sir!

Good evening!

This way, sir!

Ajay, please come.

This is my story.

A story that changed my life forever.

From childhood, I never knew what it felt like to be someone's priority.

I grew up on others' sympathy.

The only thing I ever desired and fell in love with is…

Roll, camera, action.

...is cinema.

Some stories, imaginations, and emotions the world has never seen...

To bring them to the screen was my only desire.

In all my busy years,

I never truly felt love.

You jerk!

Until I saw him.

Ever thought about doing a love story?

We're doing a love story.

While acting as Aishwarya for the script,

I saw him again.

His eyes always carried the truth.

- So? - Initially,

I gave him hope, then I disappeared.

I was the one who left him.

I lost him, and only then did I know...

He is my forever.

With pain,

with guilt, I wrote it.

And there begins

my story of

forever!

It's you...

Sir… sir… just a minute.

Just give us a one-liner, sir.

Sir?

Sir? Feedback, please.

For someone who had only known sympathy in life,

he gave love, care, and priority.

He made me see myself differently.

For an orphan like me,

he gave me mother, sister, grandfather… a whole new family.

Seeing the love they had for me, I felt my ambition wasn't bigger.

Life…

And love!

I felt they are meant to be shared.

If I had been true to him,

If I had fallen in love with you...

Maybe our story could've been even more beautiful.

Untitled project starts today!

In a time where love is often used to deceive,

this is the story of a girl who tried to deceive, but fell in love.

This is the story for all hearts separated by love.

So, Ajay?

If it's okay with you,

can we start afresh?

- So? - So?

One merlot infused espresso!

How much should I spend here to get there in the photo?

This coffee shop is unique.

You can only see couples here.

In this lovely Rains Coffee Shop, if a guy proposes to a girl with true emotion,

it rains!

Actually, it rained.

They are all couples united by that rain.

I think two would be sufficient, ma'am.

My heart...

Is melting away!

- Mathi? - Sorry!

I hope that's your name?

- Sorry-- - Hush!

You forever!

Thank you so much!

Will you save my number in your phone this time?

At least, can I have your number?

No?

Oh! If you say no, fine. Like there's no other girl in the world.

It's hard for a girl to find a guy like me.

By the way, I came here to return this to you.

Since you're putting on a show, take this.

How do you know if their feelings are genuine?

How will the rain know?

If a beautiful couple proposes but it doesn't rain,

it can create unnecessary problems.

Yeah?

Will you marry me?

We can tell when we see a couple

whether the feelings between them are real or fake.

If we can tell, how would nature not know?

Bro, here's the thing.

Love begins when logic ends.

Where have you been all this time?

Have you ever been apart from your favorite person...

Your life partner...

Or your lover?

One question.

Just one question!

Ask yourself!

Is being apart more important than your love?

This ego, this fight...

Is it bigger than the love you have for them?

- Let them be at fault. - I'm really sorry!

To forgive, forget, and accept someone for who they are! That's love.

Love has many definitions.

But...

Acceptance is also love.

Welcome!

To lovely rains!

Love Casino, are you my fortune? Or have I changed?

Caffeine in my heart, Have I gone crazy, my cappuccino?

Every cell in me is dancing

Cupid's killing me with his love arrow

I keep coming back, just to find you

Then I start dancing and Singing, frozen in place

I said, you're my forever

My forever babe

Action!

I keep coming back, just to find you

Then I start dancing and Singing, frozen in place

I said, you're my forever

My forever babe

When you arrived, I drifted into love's dream

Only to awaken, found whole again in you

If you stay forever

I'll be a feather drifting in the air

Hey girl! You lit up My eyes like lightning

And it's never enough

Though I whisper "go", My soul pleads "stay"

Like entwined breaths

You came to me, seeking love unseen

You stayed, dancing and singing

I said, you're my forever

My forever babe

I keep coming back, just to find you

Then I start dancing and Singing, frozen in place

Now you're my forever

My forever!
