How dare he hit me?

That too in front of the juniors.

Rishi.

You should've handled it patiently.

Because of you, two friends had a fight.

Stop. - Hey.

Why should I have been patient? You think it's my fault?

I spoke patiently and kept my cool.

He was the one who spoke rudely. - Leave it.

Would you take it easy if he spoke about your family?

Hey.

Leave it. Seniors are fighting because of us.

I don't know what will happen next.

It's not his fault.

He did nothing wrong.

No matter who's at fault, the issue has escalated now.

Are you happy?

Hey, stop talking nonsense.

Okay, wait here. I'll be back.

Where are you going? - I'll be back.

Hey.

I hope he doesn't make things worse.

Theo.

There was an issue.

What happened? - Matheyan hit Jackie.

What?

What?

Then they left and split up somewhere.

I don't know what to do.

You went to Jackie to talk, right? - Yes, but..

Where is he? - I don't know.

He went that way. He went this..

He went this way.

How did it happen?

I'm clueless. We were just talking.

Then it escalated.

How dare he touch me?

It's so wrong.

Jackie.

He shouldn't have hit you.

In fact,

you know him better than we do.

I'm not justifying what Matheyan did.

Please.

Don't take it to heart.

Please.

Hey! Hey! What are you doing?

Are you out of your mind?

Stop it, Matheyan. - Hey!

I hit Jackie, Theo.

He brought up my family unnecessarily.

He knows it, right?

Theo, when he talked about family background

I didn't know what to do.

It's wrong, I know. I shouldn't have hit him.

But he's wrong too.

It's all right. Look at me.

Leave it, Theo.

Don't get involved.

You should leave.

I'll handle it.

I can't just leave you like that.

I shouldn't have hit him.

Did he go to talk or fight again? - I don't know.

There's no reason to fight like this.

Yes.

Hey, Mani.

What happened? Did you talk?

Tell us what happened.

Matheyan and Jackie are not in the room.

Oh, my God!

I think this issue will explode into something big.

Are you insinuating I'm the reason for this?

I didn't mean it like that.

It's just how I personally talk to you.

It feels like stepping on landmines.

Thinking about what will happen feels terrifying.

If we don't fix this now, we can never fix this.

That's why I'm wondering if we should tell Mr. Rangan or not.

What good will it do if we tell him?

It's not about that.

He's the one who suggested we should talk to Jackie.

So he must be aware of this issue, right?

You're right.

He might give us a solution.

What do you think? - Correct.

What's the need to tell him that?

It'll resolve on its own.

There's no reason to give this matter such importance.

It's good if it resolves on its own.

Hello. - Hello.

Many problems are going on in the boys' team.

Why? What happened?

It's like watching my past through them.

The same age, the same confusion,

the same stubbornness, ego and anger.

They're deciding everything based on emotions.

And thinking that's reasonable.

But they'll soon realise

there's more to that.

I think I should've been more honest with my emotions at that age.

Why?

I could've confessed my love and been with you.

I was young and charming back then.

Actually..

You're prettier now than in our academy days.

Stop lying.

I know you don't even remember me from our academy days.

Not at all.

I remember a few things. - But..

I told you all those things and reminded you.

Okay, madam. I surrender.

But I'm telling you the truth.

You're so pretty.

You look even more beautiful

when you blush.

When we like someone,

we admire everything about them.

Their likes and dislikes.

Everything, even their flaws.

You're on point.

But that's true.

I don't know how it's been so far.

'But from now on'

'we have each other.'

My innings started a long time ago.

Then you'll see my innings from now on.

Great. Start your day with this energy.

All right. Bye.

Bye.

'Thulasi.'

'When I talked to the media, it was out of pure concern for you.'

'There's no agenda behind it.'

'I genuinely care about you, Thulasi.'

What happened? Why is everyone looking so down?

You're aware of the reason, right?

Then why are you asking?

Do you think it'll be resolved if we just sit here?

No.

We need to control this situation now.

Rishi.

Two seniors are in a fight.

What power do we juniors have to stop that now?

I don't know.

I have no idea how to fix it.

All right, I'll talk to him.

It's all because of me, right? I'll talk to him.

Don't do that.

We'll think of something.

You guys should give some ideas

instead of constantly whining about it.

Why are you getting mad now?

Hey.

Mani, they're already in a rage, we should remain calm.

Or we'll only make things worse.

Hear me out.

Matheyan shouldn't get triggered and react like this again.

Only that's in our hands.

We should control that.

But I think Jackie is the one who'll get triggered.

Of course.

We should handle it carefully.

It'll be all right if it's dealt with sensibly.

Hey, where's Jackie?

We don't know.

Everyone, come here.

Sir.

I told you to talk to Jackie.

Did you do that?

It doesn't look like you solved the problem.

What did you do?

Say something.

What happened?

Sir.

Nothing happened.

Jackie, come here.

Sir.

Shall we start the drills?

Hey, why are you all looking at him like that?

No, sir. - It's nothing, sir.

It's nothing.

Sir, let's start the practice. - Yes.

Go..

Hey, Mani.

Come here.

I think he sensed it.

He won't let me go unless I tell him.

Tell me the truth.

What happened?

As you said, we all went to apologise to Jackie.

Then Rishi and Jackie got into an argument.

Matheyan didn't know how to stop the fight, so he hit Jackie.

He hit him? - Yes.

Then why did you say "Nothing happened?"

It's.. - I'll slap you.

Don't you realise the seriousness of it?

Yes, sir.

Go.

Go.

Oh, man!

Hey, what did you tell him?

I didn't say anything.

All right. Let's go.

Hey, Jackie.

I didn't mean for it to happen, dude.

I got triggered when you brought up his family.

That's why I hit you.

Dude, please.

Hey!

Hey, stop..

Veera, they're fighting again.

I meant for this to happen.

And everyone saw it.

Would my apology fix it?

It wouldn't, right?

You're defending him because he's rich.

Is this nonsense happening again?

I said what I said.

His arrogance comes from his family background.

It's not.

What about yours?

Jackie.

Please don't trash-talk family.

You don't want me to talk?

I'll talk where it matters.

Hey.

Hey. - Sir.

I'd like to raise a complaint against the boys' team captain.

I heard what happened.

Tell me. - That was the problem, sir.

The captain is now showing partiality.

He hit me when we were talking.

It's wrong. I know.

But shall we handle this patiently?

Sir, what are you saying? Why should I be patient?

What are you suggesting?

What Matheyan did was wrong.

But it's normal to have issues like this in the team.

Sir, what now?

You won't take my complaint, is that it?

It's not like that. I'll take your complaint.

Sir.

I can't accept

someone like him as a captain.

Listen to me. Both of you are highly emotional.

So it's not wise to take any decisions right now.

Let's give it some time and we'll talk about it.

I get it.

You're his guardian.

Hey. - You'd only support him.

Jackie, here, I'm the coach for all of you, that's all.

This guardian title is only outside the gate.

Not here. - Sir.

Then why are you convincing me?

The team's captain hit a senior player.

Instead of finding a solution, you're asking me to calm down.

I'm not trying to convince you.

I'm just saying you shouldn't let your anger control you.

You should give this advice to him.

His inability to control his anger is why we have problems like this.

Here..

The captain himself is here. Have a talk with him.

Jackie, you should both talk it out together.

I know, sir.

You won't reprimand him.

You fought with Natraj for him.

You're not concerned about anyone but him.

How can I expect you to talk to him?

You don't care about anyone at all.

He shouldn't have said those things.

I let you down like this.

Sir, the problem happened because of my captaincy.

Maybe I should..

I want to step down from the captaincy.

Listen to me.

We'll talk about that later.

Whatever the reason, hitting him was wrong.

Because of my captaincy..

I have more responsibility in this team than you.

Leave it. We'll handle this later.

Go.

Go on.

Hello.

What's up? Are you ready to come to Chennai?

Did you pack your things?

Yes, Thulasi.

But..

Hey, why the long pause?

You promised you'd come after solving the problems.

If one problem is solved, another one comes.

What happened?

It's the boys.

Things got complicated.

That's it?

It's so simple.

You can solve it easily.

You're saying that to motivate me.

But..

You said the boys reminded you of your past, remember?

Yes.

Then you have the solution.

I only know what shouldn't happen.

Then don't let it happen.

If you do that, this team won't be affected like yours was.

I don't know how I can make it work.

Moreover, they're your students.

No one gets them like you do.

So there's nothing to worry about.

Am I right?

Yes.

They're my students.

I should be the one who knows them well.

I should do something.

Don't you know that already?

Am I the one to tell you that?

If you say it, it's so motivating.

And it builds my confidence.

Oh, all right, I'll tell you.

Mr. Rangan

they're your students.

You'll take care of them, Mr. Rangan.

Is that good?

Hey.

Your respect is overwhelming.

I was so focused on the problem, I forgot about this.

That's why I'm here to remind you.

Okay. Bye.

'Madam..'

'One minute, madam!'

'You're still not divorced, yet there are allegations'

'that you're hanging out with Mr. Rangan. Is that true?'

'Did you decide to leave your husband because of him?'

'Don't you think it's morally wrong?'

'Madam, give me an answer!'

'Madam!'

Are you counting the tiles on the floor?

I'm not in the mood for a laugh.

Why are you sitting there looking sad?

Thinking about everything happening here.

Because of Matheyan's anger, we had trouble at the tournament.

We almost got disqualified.

That was a close call.

Then he had a problem with Mr. Natraj.

Who later got sacked.

All this time he was only causing problems outside.

But now he's doing it within our team.

But everyone here acts like he's always right.

I was also thinking the same.

But Mr. Rangan

doesn't even want to hear it.

It's okay, leave it.

Don't overthink it.

We'll take care of it.

'I know, Theo.'

'How people talk. You should go.'

'Go, console your parents.'

'You don't have to fight them for me.'

'No one has to stay with me until the end.'

'I have the worst backstory.'

Matheyan.

Ma..

'You're defending him because he's rich.'

'It's not.'

'I said what I said.'

'His arrogance comes from his family background.'

'What about yours?'

'Jackie, please don't trash-talk family.'

Sir.

Hey.

Why are you here at this hour?

Sir, can we talk?

Yes, come on. Sit down.

What happened?

Is there a problem in the hostel again?

Everything happened because of me.

The fight about my background,

which I prayed that our boys would never get into..

That..

That background issue

is now spreading among our boys.

Is it disturbing you that much?

Sir.

I don't know.

But.. When I used to

see my mom..

I'd get so mad.

But, when I see her now..

it hurts so much.

When everyone

mentions my mom's name and trigger me..

I get so mad

at everyone.

Hey.

That's because you care about her.

Theo said the same thing, sir.

Sir, that day Jackie trash-talked Rishi's family.

He dragged them in unnecessarily.

It's..

It's just

when I heard that

I lost my temper and I..

I hit him.

Hey.

I know it's hard.

Everyone knows about your family situation.

If it bothers you so much

then that means it's time to sort it out.

Sir.

How do I sort it out?

What do I do?

If it's been bothering you this much

it's the bond between you and your family,

and your mom's situation.

Correct, sir.

My mom also

had a similar reason

to drink.

For her age,

even she couldn't sort it out.

At my age, what can I do?

Hey.

Sometimes even parents are helpless.

Most of them don't even ask for help.

Some of them don't know whom to ask for help.

Look, you've been through a lot since childhood.

Just have faith that you can handle this.

You have to resolve this.

Okay, sir.

I believe in what you said.

Remember.

You go and resolve this.

Any problem that comes your way

or whatever you need, I got your back.

Hey.

Everything you've done so far was never in your control.

But..

Whatever your reason was,

you made a mistake hitting Jackie.

Sir, I..

I didn't say this to guilt trip you.

I'm saying this from my personal experience.

The faster you solve this Jackie issue,

the better.

He's your best friend after all.

He must be feeling the same amount of pain

you're going through.

This..

Fix it soon, even if you find it so hard.

Sure, sir. - One more thing.

Tomorrow is a holiday.

You won't get a better opportunity.

Sort it out.

Go.

Thank you, sir.

Matheyan.

I'm sorry.

I'm the reason for all this.

I shouldn't have talked like that.

I'll fix it myself.

Don't blame yourself.

My anger is the reason everything happened.

Don't let this affect your game.

You should go. I'll handle it.

No, dude. We should fix it.

Rishi, don't do that.

I'll take care of it.

Rishi.

Jackie.

Jackie, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have talked like that. It was my mistake.

If you're still mad, you can hit me.

Go away.

Before I say something I'll regret.

Fine.

Scold me as much as you want until your anger fades.

I'll take it.

But wait, we can talk it out.

Get lost.

Hello, sir. - Matheyan.

I'm going to Chennai.

I'll be back on Monday.

My aunt will be at home. You can stay there if you want.

Okay, sir.

And I hope you remember what I said.

Solve the problem with Jackie as soon as you can.

Don't let ego problems grow.

Got it?

And another important thing.

You should meet your mom.

Got it?

Matheyan,

I understand.

It's hard.

We'll handle whatever comes.

You should remember one thing.

Whatever happens, I got your back.

Okay, sir.

All right, bye.

Bye, sir.

Dude, if we go to that cafe this evening

it'll be blissful.

What do you say?

Let's go today.

Great.

We noticed that cafe just yesterday.

They serve a special dish there. Did you hear about it?

Yes, I heard about it too.

Everyone says it's great.

It might be expensive.

It's all right, we'll manage. - Yes, we'll manage.

It won't be that expensive. We'll.. - Jackie..

I want to talk to you in private.

We'll go there today.

Sure, dude. - Hey.

I'm talking to you.

Come on.

So I thought juniors were only getting a part in the team.

But I didn't expect them to take over the team.

There's only one reason for that.

Yes, I know.

If the captain shows favouritism,

imagine how our team will be?

If we say this, they'll fight us saying we don't have enough talent.

Hey.

Look at me.

There's no relation between what they're saying and our fight.

Come on, let's talk in private.

The team is getting affected because of our fight.

Try to understand that.

Hey.

Don't leave.

Then he'll hit you again for not obeying his order.

That's a good shot!

Hey, Rishi!

Hey, you're playing so well.

Thank you. - Anyway..

You have overcome the things

that has been stopping you.

At this rate, you'll win us the tournament.

Even now, in practice, you're playing so well.

Hey.

You guys should learn from him

how to play consistently.

Mr. Manikam.

Say whatever you want.

But don't say he's the only one who plays well.

You just haven't seen us play.

Of course, I have.

But Rishi?

He made a hero's comeback.

Learn from him

how to be consistent in the game.

What are you saying?

Was he really being consistent?

Don't say such things.

You never saw us in the tournament.

On what basis are you judging us?

Hey..

Why are you saying that?

I was just cheering him up.

Why are you getting mad?

He can say whatever he wants.

But that shouldn't make us feel inferior.

Now you're getting it.

That nepo kid is overshadowing the team.

Oh no, it's him again.

It's because of him our team is in this state.

Pandu and Veera, we also felt the same.

Dude, wait.

What made you say all those irrelevant things?

Mani.

You'll take it when someone mocks you.

But only real cricketers who play well

can understand the pain.

You're right. - Hey.

He's misdirecting the problem, that's why I said it.

Just calm down.

Veera.

Don't get influenced

by anyone's opinion.

We'll talk about it in private, okay?

Are you saying I have no other work?

And I always want to create problems?

Dude, I didn't mean that.

The way you react is triggering them.

That's why I said it.

Listen to me, guys.

You wouldn't get it even if we explained.

You joined here for a girl, anyway.

This only hurts people who came here believing cricket is life.

Hey, leave it.

Don't take them seriously.

They talked about me as well.

Hey.

They're admitting that you're playing well in cricket.

But they're saying I'm not even a cricketer.

How can both be the same?

Correct.

They are not the same.

They based it on what you said. - What did I say?

You used to tell us that you're not interested in cricket.

They're referring to that.

Let it slide. They'll understand you someday.

Do you think I wasn't serious

when I won those matches?

Wasn't I being serious

when I was pushing you and Thangam to perform well?

Hey.

You always put others before you.

You were the one

who pushed me and Thangam.

In the tournament, you only agreed to play

because I pushed you.

You only took it seriously in the middle of the tournament.

Wow!

How's that?

I was the one who helped you two get better when you were down.

But you're not taking me seriously even after I proved myself.

And you're justifying it to me as a fact.

I'm just explaining why they're not taking you seriously.

They're talking like that because you said you don't like cricket.

Otherwise they wouldn't say that, right?

You too mentioned not liking your father.

Did I take it literally?

I can list out many things about you like that.

You don't get what I'm saying and you're talking irrelevantly.

And also don't mention that you helped me like that.

It's so ugly.

What about the things you said?

Did you even say any comforting words?

Tell me. - That's what I was doing.

Like heck you did.

You were just blaming me, saying I am the way I am and can't change.

Is that how they console a person where you're from?

It's my mistake for trying to explain it.

There's no need for me to talk to you.

Go away. Yes, I'm a fool and a clown.

You're all geniuses and brilliant.

Go!

Come on in. - Hi, Thulasi.

Why is there no security here?

Why? Should they be here?

Just asking.

They won't let me talk to you.

They'll keep bothering me.

I just want to spend our time together alone.

So I sent them home.

Nice.

Are you aware that you're cute?

You prepared all this for me.

What's special?

Mutton gravy and fish fry.

Mutton gravy is my favourite. - I know.

Did you force your helpers to make all this?

Are you kidding?

I sent them home to make you all of this myself.

Oh.

Just "Oh"?

That's it?

It's delicious.

Tell me.

How come a minister could find time to do all this?

The minister is on leave today.

So, Thulasi had a lot of spare time.

How's my cooking?

It's great. I love it.

I said it already.

There's no harm in saying it again.

The hand that cooked this..

Deserves a kiss, right?

No, I was about to say a kiss.

And..

Have you ever tried mutton with Dal Gravy?

It's so delicious.

Mutton with Dal Gravy?

Hey, don't you know it?

If we blend green chilli and Dal Gravy,

and eat that with mutton..

Tasty! It's so good.

Seriously, you've never tried it?

What kind of combination is that?

You poor girl.

Let me cook it for you.

You should try it.

You'll love it. - Yes, let's see.

If I'll love it or not.

Senior.

The tension among the boys' team

keeps getting worse.

Senior, look at them.

They're all sitting in different directions.

Mani was always the one who brightened the place.

But now he..

Guess no one's here to solve this problem.

We should do something.

Where are you going?

I'll talk to them.

We're coming too. - Yes.

What's happening here?

I'm asking you.

What's happening?

Why do you ask?

Nothing's happening.

If it's nothing, why are you all sitting separately?

You all used to be happy.

Why are you all so silent now?

He said nothing's happening.

We can see what's wrong from your faces.

Something happened.

Thangam, don't make us mad.

Go away.

Useless.

Jackie, as seniors, you should be the ones to fix it.

But you're..

Stop annoying us.

This is our problem.

You don't need to be involved.

You should mind your own business.

Don't interfere.

You're all so annoying.

We're being polite.

Why are you talking rudely?

Fine, we won't bother you.

The sooner you solve this problem, the better.

Or else you'll stay like this.

And it won't end well.

Look.

Concentrate only on your practice.

You shouldn't be involved in this.

Listen, Theo.

Don't talk to us in that tone.

Don't you have a lover?

Use that tone with him.

Don't do that to us.

That's so irritating.

Velu.

We just don't want the team to be broken.

Thangam.

Please, go away.

Please take them with you.

We already have enough problems.

This can't be fixed by us.

Come on.

My God!

Matheyan.

Please, Matheyan.

Please.

Sit down.

What's your problem?

What you're doing is not fair, you know?

Is it your decision alone that matters to end this?

Don't my feelings have any value in this?

Hey.

What can I do about what my parents did?

Why do you keep pushing me away?

What did I do?

You just left me all of a sudden outside my home that day.

Fine.

I thought you'd come back if I gave you some space.

Why didn't you come?

How could you?

How could you cut me off like that

after being so close to me?

Do you know how much I have missed you?

Do you know how much it affected me?

Don't you feel the same, even a bit?

See.

You're crying now because of me.

Can't you see that?

Hey, are you crazy?

Can't you get what I'm telling you?

I'm not crying because of you.

Look at me.

I'm crying because you're not talking to me.

You're avoiding me.

So, the way you're avoiding me..

Are you avoiding the feelings about me as well?

It's easy for you to say.

Do you know how hurtful it was when I left you?

Then why did you leave?

Look.

Let me tell you something.

You don't need me.

All right? You don't need a life with me.

Because of this, your cricket life will get affected.

So don't worry about this and just go.

You're a captain, but you don't talk like one.

You take everything wrong and anything you say is wrong.

Look at me.

Your behaviour and the way you’ve been avoiding me

are affecting me.

You don't even talk to me.

Tell me the truth.

You remember how I was when you were with me?

How bright I was?

I was.. I was being the best version of myself, Matheyan.

Because you were with me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Just because I'm with you when you have problems

doesn't mean they're going to be my problems as well.

Do you get it?

I promise.

I can't function properly without you.

I just can't do anything.

Why are you doing this?

Look.

Because of me, your dad and mom..

Please, don't worry about them.

That's how people react when they hear such things for the first time.

Because of that,

would you abandon me?

Look at me.

We have so many years to come.

We can fix it anytime.

So we don't need this distance between us, Matheyan.

Please.

I can't function without you, Matheyan.

I go crazy when you don't talk to me.

Mani, come here.

Look at that.

Look at them.

Finally, a good thing amidst all this chaos.

Anyway..

I'm very happy, Thangam. - Hey.

I was so irritated.

Seeing them like that makes me happy.

And this hug..

It makes me think our problems will disappear.

Of course they will.

Is it a canteen or what?

Hey!

Hey!

What are you doing? This is an academy.

We're going through tough times and you're acting all romantic.

You wouldn't get it.

He's single, right? That's why he's jealous.

It's not jealousy, my stomach is really burning.

Even though I'm single,

I live with dignity in this academy, you know?

Hey.

You have no choice but to stay single.

Don't pretend that's what having dignity looks like.

Why am I explaining that to you?

I have to go to the loo. Bye.

Go.

I saw my mom.

What?

When?

Did she come for you?

I went to see her.

I saw her from a distance, hiding.

D.. Didn't you talk to her?

I didn't.

I.. I used to be

normal.

But now when I want to talk to her

I get so emotional.

I don't know what to do.

But she kept

saying my name. You know?

I don't know what I should do, Theo.

This knife is not sharp enough.

No, it is sharp.

Check for yourself.

Are you sure?

Stop looking at me like that.

What else should I do?

Let's cook.

Cooking like this is fun.

Why?

When you are with me

even cooking feels fun.

Just you and me alone.

You're right.

This is even better than

going on a date.

This feels like a dream.

That's scary.

What's scary?

What if someone wakes me up from that dream?

That's what I'm afraid of.

I won't let anyone do that.

Then, it's fine.

No matter how busy we get,

we should spend time like this once a month.

The coach is planning this apart from the game.

But what if the minister doesn't allow it?

I don't need anyone's permission to take my Thulasi out.

See?

Even your pressure cooker is supporting me.

You used to ask for permission, now you take authority.

Yes, of course.

But there's one condition. - What is it?

You'll do the cooking

and I'll be assisting you.

Oh.

You made me a plumber once.

Now I'm your chef?

Carry on.

I get it.

But how long can you go without speaking to your mom?

I'm scared, Theo.

Why are you scared?

I don't know.

When I see her, I have this..

I get this strange feeling.

I don't know how to face it.

That's it?

Fine, I'll come with you.

Let's go together.

Don't delay it any further. - No.

No, you.. You don't have to do that.

Why?

You shouldn't come there, Theo.

Explain why.

It's a bar.

You don't need to come.

I know.

Everyone goes there to get drunk.

It's not wrong to go there to see your mom.

Got it? Come, let's go.

Don't.. - Come on.

Is this how you treat your guest?

Oh, now you're feeling like a guest?

Eat it.

Hold on, Rangan.

I planned this perfectly.

I want to show you something.

Do it after eating. - Can you just give me two minutes?

Like I have a choice.

Men must obey women.

Definitely.

Watch this.

How did you get it?

This is how I spent our academy days.

I watch all of your videos like a die-hard fan.

I save your cricket clips and check them out.

Die-hard fan?

That's what I told my friends.

But I had a huge crush on you.

I was madly in love with you.

Actually, I still am.

'Bad timing.'

I sent away the helpers. - 'Such an annoyance!'

It'll be quick.

I'm just going to check who it is. Wait here.

I'll be back soon.

Hi, Thulasi.

What are you doing here?

Actually, I texted you.

You didn't respond.

I just want to talk to you in person.

Something was haunting me.

That's why I came.

Why is there no security here?

Whatever it is, we'll talk in the office.

Please, Thulasi.

When you came to see me at my home

you said the divorce is getting delayed because of me.

Since then, my mind is troubling me.

I'm not acting now.

I genuinely care for you.

And I want you in my life.

We discussed this already.

Yes.

I understand.

I'll leave.

And don't think I said it because of my ego.

I was scared that

I'd lose you.

Thulasi, who's that? What happened?

Thulasi, tell me what happened.

What do you want?

Sorry.

I didn't know you'd be here.

I didn't come to bother you.

I just wanted to talk to her.

Sorry.

I'll go.

Rangan.

Rangan.

I didn't know Rajeev would come.

I understand.

Don't worry about it.

But you're being so quiet.

I'll be okay.

Don't worry.

I don't think it's a good idea to bring you here.

It's all right.

Come on.

That's my mom.

Go.

Go talk to her.

Go.

Mom.

M-Ma..

Ma.. Ma..

Matheyan?

Is it really you?

You came to see me.

Y-You..

I had a feeling that you'd come to see me.

Do you really care about me?

Matheyan.

You did come.

You came to see your mom.

It's all because of this.

This is the reason you and I got separated.

I don't need any of that.

I don't need them.

I only need you.

Matheyan.

Hereafter, I..

I won't drink.

I promise.

But..

You should come

to our home with me.

Look at me, Matheyan.

I won't touch them.

I won't drink.

I didn't know how to come out of it.

I don't know how to live without drinking.

Can you help me out of it?

You can help, right?

I'll obey anything you say.

But tell me

you won't leave me.

You won't leave me, right?

Promise!

From now on

I won't drink.

I'll be a good mom to you.

C-Can..

Can you be with me?

You won't leave, right?

Y-You.. You shouldn't cry, Matheyan.

Don't cry.

Please don't cry.

Say something.

Say something to me.

Won't you talk to me?

Why are you crying?

I won't even touch them.

I won't touch any of that.

I promise, I won't.

I'm not crying.

I'm not..

You shouldn't cry either.

Don't cry. - We don't need these, Mom.

Yes, we don't.

You won't leave me, right?

You'll always be with me, right?

Let's go, come on.

To where?

T-To our home.

O-Our..

O-Our.. Our home?

My son is coming to my home.

Yes. To my home.

I'm going home with my son.

I won't come here from now on.

I'm going home with my son.

To our home. Come on.

Let's go.

Mom. - Madam.

Mom.

Matheyan.

You won't leave me after coming to our home, right?

You shouldn't go.

Come on. Let's go home.

Let's go, madam. - Matheyan.

Careful.

All right.

I wanted to ask you something.

Why were you so irritated when we came to talk?

You're never like that.

What can I say?

My friends.

Veera and Pandu.

They said something that hurt me.

That I didn't come here for cricket.

What hurt more

was when they implied that I'm not even a real cricketer.

I was upset because of that.

Then Rishi came to comfort me but ended up hurting me more.

What did he say?

He talked like he was agreeing with them.

It didn't feel like he was comforting me.

It triggered me further.

I can guess what he might've said.

Everyone looks at you the way you've been projecting yourself.

They're just telling it in a way that could hurt you.

And you get hurt.

What?

For example.

If a new coach comes, it takes time for everyone to adjust.

The same way

it takes time for everyone to accept that you're being serious.

Oh.

Rishi and I believe in you.

But for others, it might take some time.

So..

Rishi is my friend

and you're my girlfriend

that's why you believe in me.

No one's believing in me based on my skills.

I can understand if it's others.

But you too?

Hey, I just said it casually.

What's so casual about it?

For everyone around here

I take care of things to prevent anyone getting hurt.

But when I get hurt?

Forget about others.

But you too?

You couldn't even understand what I'm going through?

You all just hurt me casually.

Actually, I'm foolish.

For everyone around here

I motivate them

I push them to grow, and when they're feeling low

I put in all my effort to help them not be down

and I take care of them.

But now, look at me.

In return

I don't have anyone like that for me.

Mani.

Listen.

I came here for you.

I don't deny that.

But I love cricket too, Thangam.

I know.

You are saying that, but no one

really gets me.

Tell me why I'm taking cricket seriously.

Is it for Rishi?

Is it for you?

No.

No.

It's for me.

I play only for myself.

Hope you get that into your head.

If anyone doubts me, make sure you tell them the same.

Hey, Mani, please.

Mom.

Mom.

You brought me here.

Thank you so much, dear.

You should have come

sooner.

If you'd come sooner,

he would've come to meet me too.

You might have

talked to him about it.

Because of me

he went through a lot.

Did he ever tell you?

Since childhood

he cooked for himself.

All those struggles happened because of me.

Have you ever heard of a son

who takes care of his mom?

I should've been his caretaker.

But my son took care of me.

Mom.

Since he was a kid.

You know?

I didn't give him a good life.

It's all

my fault.

My son.

You..

Do whatever you can

to help me

get out of this.

You should stay

here at our home.

Don't go anywhere.

Stay..

Stay with me.

Don't leave me alone.

That's enough for me.

Could you tell him that?

Tell him not to leave this place.

Tell him to stay with me.

He'll listen to you.

Can you tell him?

He won't leave, madam.

D-Do you mean it? - Yes.

Mom.

I won't leave you, Mom.

I'll go to college from here.

Okay?

I won't stay at the hostel.

I'll be with you.

Fine. You have to study, right?

Yes, that's important.

You can go.

But come back home.

You'll come back, right?

Mom.

I'll be here, Mom.

Mom.

Look at them. It feels like they are coming to cause more trouble.

Keep it quiet. - They look furious.

Why is he entering the nets?

Hey.

Stop it.

I need the nets. Get out.

Can't you see I'm practicing?

You're not even in form.

You won't get in form at the rate you're practicing here.

Get out, all of you. - What is it?

What's your problem?

If you raise your voice again I'll break your jaw.

You're the one who started it, not me.

He's performing so badly.

But acting all high and mighty.

It's all the captain's fault.

He failed to guide the juniors properly.

Now look at them.

Arrogant, spoiled brats

taking advantage of everything and ruining our team.

Hey, can I tell you something?

You're seniors.

You can train here.

No issues.

Here he comes.

Defending juniors as usual.

Matheyan, tell them to come outside.

They got the chance so easily

so they take it for granted. - Dude, calm down.

Don't talk nonsense, okay?

I can take at least two wickets in an innings.

How many did you get in yours?

You didn't. Prove me wrong.

They're good for nothing. - Hey.

See? This is what we told you.

Dude, cool down. - They benched you for poor form.

You're already benched. Don't you know that?

Before saying something about us, think if you're really that good.

Do you understand? Don't talk rubbish.

You're privileged because of us, you beggars.

Yes, we begged for your help. - Stop it, Veera.

I respected you all this time. - Stop it, dude.

I can talk rudely like you. - I said stop it.

How dare you touch me? - Listen to me.

Don't pull my t-shirt. - Stop it!

Hit him! - You think you're better?

You're talking very rudely. - Stop it, guys.

They started it first! - Stop hitting.

They're talking nonsense.

Calm down, guys. - Don't look down on us.

Let me go. Get your hands off me!

Let me go. - Leave it.

Hey! - Hey!

You're crossing the line! - Senior!

Hold on, guys. - Tell him to stop.

'Hello?' - The boys are fighting,

they're out of control.

'I'm on the way.'

Hey! - Hey!

Stop it!

Hey.

Come for practice.

What's with you all?

Veera.

What happened?

Hey, Jackie.

Assemble!

What's your problem?

Hey, Velu.

What's with your attitude?

I'm trying to be patient.

Can you practice in peace for at least half a day?

You already asked this.

We have the same answer.

Nothing happened.

Don't you intend to solve the ego issues in your team?

Sir, you won't understand.

What can't I understand?

Tell me what it is.

Sir, why are you snooping into our problems?

Jackie, mind your words.

I can't just stand here and watch your practice getting affected.

All right, sir. Then do one thing.

Let's build our boys team from scratch.

And let's change the captain.

What? - Yes.

This team was set by Mr. Natraj.

He also chose the captain.

Now you're the coach here.

You should find capable players

and only keep them in the team.

Now we have untalented juniors who got in through favouritism.

Why do we need to rebuild the team?

Jackie, haven't you had enough?

Hey, Pandu. - Mind your words.

How dare you raise your voice?

Dude, you started it first.

Hey, shut up!

You guys are better than this.

Look, Jackie, you told me what your problem is.

Let's see how we can solve it.

Now go to practice.

You say we lack coordination. - Go.

Take the blame yourself.

Is this how you talk to our coach?

Senior, you speak rudely to us when we talk.

Now to him as well? - Senior.

Are you that dumb, not knowing how to talk to a coach?

The girls' team captain gets mad for an issue that's not her concern.

Of course I'd be mad.

First of all, Mr. Rangan is our coach.

Then only is he your coach.

He's coaching you out of concern for you. - Senior

actually, they begged him to come.

You desperately wanted him.

Now you're treating him like this.

Yes.

We wanted him.

We want him to stay.

When he joined here, how he built the girls' team

and made it better.

We asked him to do the same to our team.

What's wrong with that?

There's a limit for everything.

Tone matters when you talk.

You were shouting at him.

Why? What happened? We made a fair request.

Did we talk to him rudely? - Hold on, Jackie.

You're going too far. - No, we don't.

Why are you shouting at him like that?

If it's your personal problems, you should deal with it.

Don't create a fight between seniors and juniors. - Hey, shut up.

You should respect our coach. - Mani.

You're the neutral person here.

Talk and make sense to them. - It's wrong, senior.

Hey.

I always rushed into problems like this to fix them.

I don't think I can do it now.

Let them handle their own issues.

What's your problem?

Why are you forming a gang? - Do you think we're stupid?

Why are you dragging it like this? - So we're wrong and they're right?

Guys, we're a team. - Silence!

Sir, these problems are happening because you're showing favouritism.

That's right. You're always showing favouritism towards Matheyan.

You'll support him no matter what. You're okay with whatever he does.

But when we ask something for the team

you won't agree. - Sir.

We had high expectations from you when you became our coach.

But you did nothing and disappointed us all.

I said don't talk to him that way.

Do you think you're better than our coach?

Girls, wait.

Sir, tell us what's your final call.

If it's a no

we won't be a part of the team.

We'll leave.

Hey, listen. I don't have to do what you say.

Let's do one thing.

A match between the boys' and girls' team.

If all of you together win

then I'll listen to you.

I don't think you understand. - Sir.

Yes, we do. We should win, that's all?

I said you should all win together as a team.

We don't even want to have practice with them.

You're saying we should play together.

That's your problem.

Do what you want.

And one more thing.

I'll play with the girls' team.

Sir, that's unfair.

You're doing it on purpose.

You think we'll be scared if you talk like that.

Not only you.

Whoever is against us.

We'll beat you in the game.

That's great.

I can't just give you what you ask.

Everyone should win this together.

Then you'll get what you want.
