'Chennai'

- Hello uncle? - Hi Shiva

Did the flight land on time?

Yes, uncle

- Very good - On time

I'm on my way home

Okay, I'm waiting for you at home

See you in half an hour

- Okay, dear - Okay, uncle

Thank you, sir

- How are you? - Fine, uncle and you?

I'm fine How is Mumbai life?

Same as anywhere else

If someone yells at you in Hindi when driving, it's Mumbai

If cuss words in Tamil, it's Chennai

That's a good one Come...come in

You could have rented this place instead of locking it for 2 years

No, uncle

Let the US program get confirmed

We can decide then

- How long are you here? - 3 days

I came to attend an important client meeting

Did you eat?

If you need anything, call me

- See you - Okay, bye

'Lock the gate, Shiva'

'Why haven't you taken off your shoes, Shiva?'

'Did you think it's your office?'

Is he playing games with us?

It's a project worth 3 billion

We are almost near completion

He's now cribbing and wants to demolish this and that

- Who is he? - His name is Sabapathy

He got transferred recently

Very straightforward

On top of it he's very rude

So are you asking me to demolish everything?

I trusted you and started this project, right?

Hey, you wait here

Okay, bro

Where's my girl?

The other 3 are fine

He's the only one creating a problem

- Greetings, bro...sir - Hello, Ranga

We've offered 1 million through the councillor

He isn't budging an inch

- Get him transferred again - That isn't possible

There's only 1 way out

Let's transfer him forever!

What do you mean?

We have no other choice, Guna

He has started to probe already

He's going to send your file to the head office tomorrow

Before that we must finish him off

That's it then

Ranga, go to his house and kill his whole family

Hey, Guna

Your anger is blinding you

'He's a Govt servant'

If anything misfires all of us will be behind bars

When and what should be done...

...I'll instruct

- Ranga...? - Sir

Madhavi, I've been trying your # for the past 2 days and it's switched off?

- My phone fell into a tub of water - Then?

I stuffed it into the sack of rice

- Rice bag? - Don't you know?

Mangoes are usually stored in rice

But this is news to me

Don't worry, I'll get you a Samsung phone

Why do I need a Samsung phone?

iPhone will do!

'iPhone...'?

- Ranga, understood? - Yes, sir

Simple matter

But you must execute it properly

Ranga, who is going with you?

I'll take our boy Kasi

- Why him? - No one will suspect him

I'll take care I'll finish and call you

Okay

Move aside I have a lot of work to do

- I want to ask you something - What...?

If I buy you an iPhone...

...what will you give me in return?

Shall I tell you?

- I'll say it - Please do, sweetheart

I'll give you

...my old phone!

- Bro...! - Let's go

How much will an iPhone cost?

More than Rs 50000

50,000, huh?!

Dai, be ready

I'm ready, bro

Sir, help me with this address

15, Manicka Vinayakam Street Tambaram-

Sir, don't

Don't hit me, sir

Start the van

Where do you want to go now?

Have to go to college

It's been 2 years since you retired!

You've forgotten everything

That's why you are under our care now

[muttering Gayatri mantra]

Sit here

'May that Divine Light protect us and illuminate our consciousness'

You haven't forgotten your mantras

'I meditate upon that effulgent light true Let that light kindle, illumine me too'

Johnny...?

Are you tired?

Do you want to have breakfast?

You're okay?

This is my husband Johnny

He has fractured his leg

Oh...!

Maria, how did your husband fracture his leg?

Scooter

Ah...he fell off his scooter

Where did Johnny work?

- Railways - Hmmm...good!

How many children do you have?

1 daughter

No...!

You have 2 sons

2 sons

Johnny...?

Are you okay, Johnny?

Are you feeling tired?

Hi, Mr. Govindharajan-

I've already informed Please wait for 5 minutes

Where is the swimming pool?

- Cheenu...! - My friends are waiting there

Can you just tell me the way?

'Call the manager I'll talk to him'

'Is this how you treat a guest?'

'I asked you how to go to the pool and you're royally ignoring me'

I have an important job in the pool

- I must go, swim and meet my friends - Please attend to him

Mr Krishna...?

We don't have a pool here

What do you mean?

This is supposed to be a 5 star hotel

This is not a hotel

Care centre

And you've already showered this morning

Really...?

Where did you go?

Mrs Sarada was creating such a ruckus

Before I could placate her...

...he walked out with his towel

Okay, take him with you

Come with me, sir

'My friends are waiting near the swimming pool'

'- Let them wait there - How mean!'

It's around 6 months since you visited last, right?

I called you

In fact, I mailed you too

I think you must have been busy

Why, any problem?

I've been paying promptly

No...no

- It isn't about payment - 1 second

Yes, the same mail

I'll just call you back

Yeah...bye

- Will he take some time? - He'll be here now

- Are you taking him out anywhere? - Yes, I need to buy him clothes

I'm leaving to U.S in 3 months

Don't know when I'll come back

In the last 6 months his condition has deteriorated

He's unable to remember anything new

In fact Shiva, Thilaka

- Only these 2 names - 1 second

Yes?

That's the mail I was talking about

- Sorry - So in his present condition

He needs daily monitor-

Money is not an issue at all Do whatever needs to be done

No, it's not about money

How much longer will it take for dad to come?

5 minutes

Govind uncle...?

Did you eat your breakfast?

I have to drop Shiva

No need Shiva is here

Come with me

Look who's here

Your son, Shiva

Tomorrow amma has to go for chemo

Balu will come

Where's Balu?

Shiva will take you out now

Will you go with him?

Be careful with your ID card

Come, pa

Shiva...?

Be careful

- He should be within your sight - It's okay, I'll take care

Note down the time, sir

Contact number

Appa

Please wait

Here, sir

Thank you, sir

- Come, pa - Who are you?

Come along, dad

Appa?

We're going on a shopping spree

Why buy new...

...clothes for me?

For your mother

...we must get her a saree

Maroon is Thilaka's favorite color

Where's your mother?

She passed away 4 years ago

You forgot about it

How...?

How...?

Cancer...!

Where was I then?

Thilaka isn't dead

She's alive

It should've been delivered yesterday

Right

Please check again

Dad, what are you doing here?

Come with me

Please come

Life is beautiful

Sir, I have to check your bag

Open your bag

1 minute

What is this, dad?

Shiva has a flair for drawing

- That's why - Stop it!

- Security - Sir...?

- Tell me, sir - Take the bags from the trunk

Get down, pa

I've some urgent work to do

I'll meet you again before I leave for Mumbai

Take care, pa

Clothes can be bought for 6 months

Will anyone buy oranges for 6 months?

Sir...?

Sir...!

Sir...?

Govind sir

- Will you come home early today? - Why...?

Didn't I tell you about the alliance we saw?

The groom's mother called me They want to come home this evening

- He's a doctor - Is that so?

- Yes, dear - Orthopaedic surgeon

Owns a big hospital in Anna Nagar

He is doing very well

That's right

These days when people fall sick

...they google online

Go to a pharmacy and self medicate

But...

...if it's a fracture no other go

The patient has to go to a hospital

Will you please be quiet?

Shall I serve something?

- Hello? - 'Hello, doctor'

Our Govind is missing, doctor

Whaaaat...?

He must be there Ask our staff to search

I'll come right away

- Okay...okay - Finish your lunch, dear

It's an emergency, a patient is missing I must go immediately, ma

Archana...Archana This is a very good alliance

Compatible in every way

They don't expect anything from us Just help maintain their hospital

That's the hidden agenda!

Then ask them to find a graduate in accountancy!

This won't work out, ma

Is this a hospital or recreation club? Where’s my father?

Shiva, please calm down

You’re incapable of taking care of a patient, huh?

How irresponsible all of you are

Shiva, please

Shut up! I pay you to take care of my father

Call yourself a doctor?

- You are being rude unnecessarily - I like that

I’ll make sure this ends your career

What-

Shiva

Shiva, please Wait a second

You want to apologize, huh?

Why should I apologize to you?

You didn’t know to take good care of him when you took him out

You didn’t know to bring him safe and sound back to our care

You didn’t know it was wrong to leave him with our security and not even look back

Your father may not be important to you

You may have 101 issues with him

Every patient is important to us

Very important

I don’t know if you’ll go to the cops or court

Or search for your father It’s your wish

We’ll call you when we find him

“In a world where men seek God religiously he is searching for a manso anxiously”

“In a world where men seek God devotedly he is searching for a managitatedly”

“A human being so humane He is looking for that man in vain”

“Will he be found in this world I wonder”

“Will he be elsewhere I ponder”

“Will he be found in this world here?”

“Or a totally different world or sphere?”

“While searching for his father dear why does he delve within him deeper?”

“In the process of this self exploration they forgot their original mission”

“One who hoards and locks his wealth wants to add to his millions in stealth”

“The millionaire who has amassed as such; he is seeking power, politics and overmuch”

“One who has lived life to the fullest wants to climb to the next rung in earnest”

“One who has reached the peak of fame wants to achieve more laurels to his name”

“To keep seeking has become the name of the game”

“Most of the time in a man’s lifespan spent searching as much as he can”

“On earth that God almighty descended searching for a kind heart contented”

“His wish didn’t come true as intended”

“Where is the man care-free living like the wind without a worry?”

“Here is a man whose intention is to clamor for attention”

"Where are the very few who are kind and true?"

"Vengeful hearts you find are the ones left behind"

"Saying ‘we have no one' we don’t have anyone"

"Since a child every mother gives birth is a gift from God on this earth"

“O’ man, stop being tired and weary search for peace on the contrary”

That’s God’s sign of glory

“In a world where men seek God spiritually he is searching for a man spiritedly”

“A human being so humane He is looking for that man in vain”

- Hey! Give me - Yes, bro

Here, bro

What’s this place?

It was a library Now it’s locked

Okay, bro

- I have a long term wish - To buy an iPhone?

You should do the ordering and I should kill someone

How long will we work for this Guna sir?

Hey! If you talk ill of Guna bro-

I’m not deriding him

I was penniless and stranded in the middle of a road

If I’m riding a bike today I owe it all to him

I should be loyal to him and carry out his orders, that’s all

I don’t have any personal desires

You should be the same way too

- Eat now - Okay, bro

Why couldn’t you shut the gate and then watch the match, Shiva?

Is the match in our favor?

Kohli got out

Rohit Sharma is batting well

I stopped watching cricket afterSachin Tendulkar retired

What kind of game is it nowadays!

Okay, where did you go?

Balu and I want to start a tuition center

- So I'm running from pillar to post - Why?

Because I spent all my savings building this house

After that, you said you wanted to go to the U.S after you graduate

Whatever I had saved for you covered your mother’s hospital expense

Now your mother is a framed photo and the house is mortgaged!

Why all this now?

You’re still trying to go abroad

Life is beautiful

You should have started this long ago

Didn’t Devaraj sir ask you then?

He did

I thought I won't be able to spend time with my family

Appa, so many fathers from a middle class background

…unable to fulfil their children’s wishes come up with some random excuses

You don’t have to bend backward for me

I’ll handle it myself

Okay, fine

I dropped a gentleman here

He went in to bring the cash

I’ve been waiting for 10 minutes

- Is that so? -Yes, sir

- 1minute - Okay, sir

Dad, did you come by auto?

What’s wrong with you?

You made the auto driver wait outside and happily sitting here and painting?

Poor man! He’s been waiting

Where is it?

Hey! Shiva It’s missing, did you see it?

- See what? - Aiyo! This…this

Watch?

Watch?

Can’t you say ‘watch’? What’s up with you?

Your mother gifted it to me

It’s missing Did you take it?

Why will I take your watch?

Appa! Why did you put your watch in the ‘dosa’ batter?

APPA!

I’ll tell you 3 words now

Pay attention

Orange

Train

Bottle

Repeat

Orange, train, bottle

What’s the date today?

7th...18th

Month?

Doctor, what are you testing me for?

1st answer and then I’ll tell you

Spell ‘water’

w-a-t-e-r Water

Spell it in reverse

R..

t-e-r

R-e-t

Okay, now tell me the 1st 3 words I told you

1st word was a fruit

O…orange

Good Next?

Orange-

Orange

Orange

What’s wrong with me, doctor?

MrGovind, you are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease

Beginning stage

Your memories will fade step by step

This is beginning stage

First he will have short term memory loss

Then he will slowly forget everything

As it worsens he will be devoid of any memories

Care is very important

As a family, friends to rally him around support system is very essential

Is there any other way to cure him?

Permanent cure hasn’t been found as yet

‘But we can slow down the process with the help of medicines’

‘That’s all we can do’

He will be frustrated when he loses his memory

You shouldn’t send him alone anywhere because he won’t know

...where he is or what he is doing

‘You must take care of him like a child’

Your role is very important

You took your tablets?

Yes, I did

I get this irritation towards the evening

It’s called sun-

Sun downing

I read about it

Appa I have some good news

- What? - I’ve got a promotion

Wow! Congratulations!

But the posting is in Mumbai

I have also agreed

Good! What a golden opportunity

You must go Good…good

Only thing is new place Be a little tough to adjust

I know Hindi I can adjust easily

No, dad, in your condition

You won’t fit into this new atmosphere

I have to stay with a colleague

I’ll hunt for a house much later

In a way you’re right

You go and settle down

I’ll be fine

Balu is there if I need anything

No, pa, you need 24 hours supervision

You should take your tablets regularly

Nutritious…proper food you have to take

I found a health care center on ECR road

It’s a specialty center for patients like you with Alzheimer’s

Very serene place

24 hours doctors and nurses are on call

Good food at proper timings

I’m sure you’ll find it really comfortable

Pa, don’t worry

I’ll visit you regularly

I’m doing this for your own good

Hope you underst-

Shiva…?

1 second, pa

‘Hello, yeah? Speaking’

It’s a good place

Even I feel like staying here

Who are you?

Balu…Balu, da

Ba-

Balu!

Did you get scared?

Idiot!

- Useless fellow - I might ask you in the future

Hey! How can you say that?

Won’t you visit me often?

Definitely

Come as long as I can recognize you, enough

Appa

Don’t worry, Shiva I’ll be alright

See you

Then listen, next time you’re here

…if I’ve forgotten you, you shouldn’t hold it against me

Let’s go

Don’t lose hope, Shiva

I’ve roamed all the streets you can think of, uncle

Knowing it was my carelessness

…I feel like killing myself

Shiva, do you know once he said these very same words to me

…and cried his heart out?

You must have been 3 or 3+ then

We had gone to the beach

It was jam packed You were missing

We ran helter-skelter looking for you

It took us 1 hour to find you

The trauma he went through that 1 hour, I can still remember

He cried his heart out and uttered these very same words to me

After that, for quite some time

…you know, wherever he went he’ll carry you only on his shoulder

Did you hear anything?

Not till now

Shiva, shall we give a police complaint imemdiately?

- What, bro? - You change the license plate

- I'll be right back - Again...?

Just carry out my orders

Yes, bro All okay

- We'll go in another half hour - Be careful, Ranga

Don't worry I'll take care

I'll call when I'm done

- Hello...? - Maadhuuuu

Why are you calling me at this unearthly hour?

What are you up to?

It will get messy if I share it with you

Had dinner, sweetheart?

Will you ask me in the middle of the night?!

- Are you mad or what? - Don't be mad at me!

- Okay, tell me - You wanted an iPhone, right?

Hello...?

Their network will be fine only in their commercials!

Haven't I told you not to talk to that jinxed female?

As if you need love now

Until our job is done don't call her

If you do, I'll bury you as well

Even if you bury me underground the love buried in my heart-

I'll clobber you Go and shut the door

He'll help only his friends

Who are you? What is your crime?

Nothing, sir, I tried my hand at organic farming

And your men arrested me, sir

Organic farming?

With great difficulty I used natural manure

- And grew a few marijuana plants - Marijuana...?

Farmers like me have no protection

I'll clobber you!

I'll pound you to a pulp, rascal

Yes?

Sir, we want to complain about a missing person

Haven't I told you to add less sugar in my tea? Jackass!

What did you say?

Complain about a missing person

- Tell me the name - Govindharajan, age 60

You don't look that old!

I'm telling you details of the missing person

1st tell your name

Shiva

Sir, his father went missing from the Care centre on ECR around 3:00 p.m

What did you say the name is?

- Shiva - Hello...!

Give me the missing person's name

That's what I told you

Govindharajan, age 60

Losing your cool?

That too in a police station!

You get bugged to mention your father's name twice?!

Did he go missing or walked out in a huff?

He's an Alzheimer's patient

Like this memory loss

I've heard about it

He's been missing since this afternoon

Do you know where he went?

If we knew that won't we bring him back?

Do you have any photo of him?

Your contact address, phone number

Record it and sign here

Tell your husband not to lose his temper here, as if it's his house!

Sir, we aren't a couple

- I'm a doctor at the Care centre - Sorry

Sir, he lost his cool because he's tense

Don't take it amiss please

As if we aren't tense

There was a protest whole day and I came back just now

Try standing in the sun all day Then you'll know!

Daily you know how many cases of missing father, mother, politician I deal with?

Okay, I'll inform the control room

You keep searching also

Bear this in mind

You may have to come to a hospital, mortuary now and then

If we get any information...

...I'll call you

Thank you, sir

Doctor...?

My name is Archana

Okay...I'm sorry, Archana

For what?

I was too harsh on you this afternoon

It's okay

Shiva, you get angry very easily

This isn't the time to lose your temper

Your dad says this to me often

Inside every person-

I know, black dog and white dog, right?

I've heard it many times

Moron! How many times I've told you about her?

Lured by her fair skin, huh?

Bro, in this country they will guess your caste by the color of your skin!

That's why I want to marry her and change my lineage

You are beyond redemption!

Even in films if you see, bro last week I watched a horror film

Heroine was very fair

After she dies she haunts as a spirit

She's dark skinned then How is that possible?

Angels are fair Ghosts are dark

Has the director seen a ghost?

It isn't like that

Fair skinned people are ghosts when alive

If dark skinned they are ghosts after they die, that's all

Super, bro

- Get me water - I didn't know this

They've made too many horror films and insulted spirits

No one will get spooked even if they see a ghost

Even kids find horror films funny instead of cartoons

- I want water - Aiyo! Ghost

Bro...!

Hello?

Sir...?

Aiyaiyo! Don't know what happened

Bro, it's an accident I think the driver is dead

Bro, it's our vehicle I'll take care

- Is anyone inside? - No, sir

How can you say there's no one inside?

- Don't open - Shiva!

Bro-

Call the ambulance, Shiva

Your mother is unwell

Mother...where?

It hurts real bad

I can't bear the pain

I'll call the ambulance I'll be back

Where's the phone?

Yov!

Bro...?

Bro...get up

Anna?

Dai, who are these people?

- The thing is - Where's the body?

Before I could shift him I saw another car

You moron! What have you done?

Go back

Stop the car Right here

Hey, you stay here

If you mess it up-

If Guna bro gets to know he'll kill us and dump our ashes in the sea

Take their phones I'll be back

Such a small task and you messed it up!

Give me some time I'll somehow-

Don't be daft

By now the cops would've rounded up all the rowdies

1st hide somewhere safe

Okay, sir

Where's your phone?

Don't you have a phone?

Who are you?

Where did you come from?

What to do with those 2 men?

1st find a good hiding place

After that kill them both

Let's discuss the rest tomorrow morning

Okay, sir

Dai...stop!

Aiyo!

Ouch!

Janaki...Janu...how did I come here?

It all seems like a dream

I was wondering if I'll ever see you again

Yesterday, 2 killers

...took turns targeting my head I fainted and fell down

One of them...

...I dreamt he stabbed me with a knife

I want 1 more 'dosa'

'Sambar' is very tasty

Your daughter made it?

Shiva is busy, he'll be back on Sunday

If he likes the girl, we'll finalise this alliance

Hello, what do you mean?

She's my wife!

Thanks, sis

Come here

What's happening here?

Making 'dosa' for them as if they are your family

How dare you ask me!

Last night I called you at 2:00 a.m

Some fellow said 'your husband met with a small accident, nothing serious'

He asked me for our address

And I told him

Oh my dear! What happened to him?

- Lock the gate, Shiva - Where's the bedroom?

- Which is his room? - Over there

What happened? Oh my gawd!

Only then I knew they were rowdies!

Hand over your phone

You shouldn't utter a single word

I don't want to hear even a whisper

If you think of being over smart I'll kill your whole family

Go

- Where's that man's phone? - Here, bro

Give me your phone Take it out

Whom will I call?

Then why do you need it?!

Go and check on the old man

You'll be drunk as a skunk and puke in our hall

I'll clean it up because it's my fate!

If you bring home thugs what will I do?

You're making 'dosas,' right?

- Hold your tongue! - Did I bring them?

Janu, listen Don't cry

I'll somehow convince them to leave

What if they still don't go?

Make your usual 'sambar' for lunch

They'll eat and leave once for all

Sir...1 minute

My name is Rajappa

This is my wife Janaki

I work in the sugar factory nearby as the Purchase manager

We are a middle class family, sir

We borrowed money and paid heavy interest to build this house

We are lower middle class now!

I don't mind telling you

When our PM announced at 8:00 p.m 1000 rupee notes won't be valid anymore...

...I was laughing until 8:30 p.m

All I had was only two 100 rupee notes

Sir, my wife and son are with me

Doesn't speak well if other men also stay here

I won't inform anyone

Police, CBI

Whoever questions me, I'll say that blow to my head made me forget everything

[loud hiccup]

Water

We are in this soup because you asked for water

Otherwise we would've buried that body and safely-

What does he mean?

- Why are you interrogating me? - I'm scared

Zip your lips

Shiva...?

Cut apple for your mother

Hey, get up

I've been watching you Are you making fun?

I'll strangle you

What-

Did you fall down again, Shiva?

It's okay

You can't learn to ride a cycle without falling down

Amma...?

Who are these strange men, ma?

He's your grandfather

He's your uncle

Then who is he?

He is-

We haven't identified him as yet!

Shiva, check if this is okay

Shall we add a cash reward?

Good idea!

Add 1 more line 'cash reward'

Take a printout immediately, okay?

How do I find my dad in such a big city?

Shiva, there's no other choice

We must be positive we'll find him and search

Doctor, when will John become alright?

In 1 week he should be fine

Next month we are planning to go to Kashmir

John's 50th birthday!

Oh! He'll be fine by then

- Don't worry - Thanks

Say thank you

Bye

- Both husband and wife have Alzheimer’s? - No...no

Only Maria

The wheel chair patient isn't even her husband

His name is Ramu He's another patient here

The man who accompanies her always He's her husband, Johnny

Imagine how I felt when it all started

Shocked by my answer?

Maria doesn't remember her husband Johnny

Don't know why

But she thinks Ramu is her husband

She'll behave like that even in front of him

Johnny is a great man

Maria doesn't recognise him

Even then he'll come daily and spend time with her

That's very important, Shiva

When I see all this, I feel even more guilty

Shiva, nothing wrong about leaving your dad here

You washed your hands off, right?

That's wrong

Very true, Archana

Even if this Care centre provides all the comforts...

...I realize the importance of family ties

When Maria mentioned about his birthday, I remembered

Last year we celebrated your dad's birthday

I had mailed you that video too

Did you watch it?

Maybe you were busy!

What are you so deep in thought, Shiva?

I was thinking about Maria's journey

How long has Mr Ram been here?

Around 1 year

He has a son

He admitted him here, that's it

After that he has never showed up

We tried persuading him to visit

'I'm sending money Your duty is to take care'

“Won’t eyes that sift and sieve see the person they seek intensely?”

“Won’t hurried feet running to and fro reach the right place instantly somehow?”

“Clouds in pursuit of the sky wander around They shower rain searching for the ground”

“Isn’t that a puzzle so profound?”

“Eyes that sift and sieve”

“Seek to perceive”

“Without pursuit life doesn’t exist”

"We came to search readily but blind as a bat really"

“Like the roots underground relish searching for water to nourish”

“We walked across though our paths criss-cross”

“In this quest so helpless meeting many a stranger hapless”

“Won’t the blowing breeze say so please?”

“To a lovely lullaby dainty flowers dance”

“Won’t the pleasure of pursuit enhance?”

“Won’t the rainbow hues 7 innate shining from heaven be adequate?”

“Won’t this quest end on a happy note?”

“Won’t eyes that sift and sieve see the person they seek intensely?”

“Won’t hurried feet running to and fro reach the right place instantly somehow?”

Sir…?

- Are you Mr Ram’s son? - Yes

Your father is in a bad shape

So what?

You should visit him now and then

Because you don’t his health has deteriorated

Why should you be bothered about him?

Do you work in that center?

No, but my dad is also an inmate

It isn’t enough just to send money every month

You must visit him often

He doesn’t even recognize me What do I gain by seeing him?

I’ve taken a loan to admit him in that center

What more can I do?

I thought the same way too

But my father is now missing

I’m hunting high and low for him

He’s missing

Good riddance Just let it be

How can you say this?

It’s his fate

What will you do finding that madcap?

Nurturing tonnes of love within

The only bond which appears to be a foe is a father

I paid a hefty price to get enlightened

I told you with good intentions not wanting you to be in my shoes

Our lifespan is really short

Your father has crossed ¾ that time frame

Visit him whenever you can

Just half an hour Try sitting with him

Then you’ll understand

I’m very sorry I hit you

Please understand what I’m trying to say

‘Hi, I’m Seenu’

‘Johnny likes cake’

‘I have never celebrated my birthday ever since my wife passed away’

‘I don’t know if I will be in a condition to do so next year’

‘Why are you getting sentimental? Cut the cake, da’

‘Seenu, do a good job’

‘Okay, doctor’

‘They are going to cut the cake’

‘Uncle, wait Make a wish and then cut’

'Okay'

'- What did you wish for? - Tell us'

'What will I wish?'

'My son Shiva should-'

'- What did you wish for? - Tell us'

'What will I wish?'

'My son Shiva should-'

I told you we can buy a small apartment in the city

You were so stubborn in wanting an independent house

The realtor who sold this plot claimed a school and mall were planned nearby

…conveniently vanished into thin air

I have to bear the fuel charges of the newspaper man, milkman who deliver

Now it has become a guest house for murderers to stay when they are bored

My only fear is if they tell all their thug-friends

And we have thugs from Rajasthan following their footsteps

It’s a namesake independent house

But where is the independence?

Will they go away if we offer them some money?

They don’t look that kind

Even your ‘sambar’ couldn’t chase them away!

I’m so terrified

What if they do something to me?

You have high hopes!

Grandpa, you shouldn’t color outside this line

It doesn’t even look like a horse now

Let him keep coloring Shall we play ‘Snakes & ladders’?

I misplaced the coins

No big deal

I’ll find a way

Wait, I’ll be back

‘Police officer Sabapathy who was missing has been murdered’

‘He was found dead in an abandoned tempo in a desolate suburb of Chennai’

‘The police department is now on a man hunt-‘

Where are you?

In a safe place, bro

Stay put there till the problem dies down

What did you do to those 2 men?

I’ll do it…at the right time

Are you getting married or what?

Is this what I get for having trusted you?

The issue has blown out of proportion

It’s all over the news How can you be so irresponsible?

You’re mistaken, bro

Both of them are not connected to this

Ranga, we can’t afford to take any risk

Tell me if you can’t do I’ll delegate someone else

No, bro I’ll do it

- Call me once you are done - Okay, bro

‘MISSING Govindharaj, age 60’

Sir, I’m calling from Thiruvanmaiyur Police station

You had complained about a missing person

We have found a body resembling the photo you gave

Can you come up to the mortuary and identify him?

Shiva

Shiva?

Shiva?

I’m up here, Archana

Shiva, what are you doing with the front door wide ope-

I called you

You didn’t pick my call

I got worried So I came to-

I can’t bear this, Archana

I have a 300 gm heart like everyone else

If it has to carry a load of 500 gm, what will I do?

My mom died of cancer

My dad has Alzheimer’s

What wrong did I do?

Why me?

I didn’t realize his value when I was with him

I haven’t even spoken to him properly

Not even called him ‘appa’ fondly

He will always ask me ‘Have you eaten?’

I’ve lost my temper so many times

Now I don’t even know if he is eating

He doesn’t even know to say he’s hungry

You are a doctor You would’ve seen many bodies

A man lying in a road accident A body preserved in a mortuary

If I am asked to identify if this man is my dad?

Height of cruelty, Archana

In this-

In this world

In this world only love is very important

No use pickling it inside

We should know to be demonstrative

I swear I don’t know

Shiva, please

I understand your trauma

But this is not the time You have to be strong

We have to search for him in many places tomorrow

We must search

But I have realized this

You are looking for a missing person

But I have lost a dear one and I’m searching for him

It’s alright, bro

This is no big deal

Hey! He’s wearing my t-shirt

He called me ‘akka’ and asked me affectionately

- So I gave it to him - Are you his sister?

What’s for lunch, akka?

Oil cake and fodder!

Your husband is very funny

Disgusting!

But if your father had a son I’m sure he would’ve been like him

His face looks like a burnt down hut

‘May you be blessed with 100 springs in 1 lifetime’

- Nothing serious, bro - Shiva, does it hurt too much?

I’ll give you a tablet after you’ve eaten

Hereafter I’ll be with you when you learn to cycle, son

Bro, is this man a mental case or is he pretending to be one?

Forgotten everything

He lost his way and somehow landed with us

I think so too

If he had borrowed money all over the place…

…his creditors will trace him come what may

But if he is the one who lent money and forgot

…not a single soul will hunt for him

- Show, bro - Enough

Just a little bit more I’m almost done, bro

Go and check who it is

Bro, police

Police, huh?!

I got a complaint I came here to inquire

I’ll handle it, sir

Like Guna sir said

And escape through the rear entry

Don’t hesitate, bro

Okay, sir I’ll handle it

How long will you take to open the door?

- What’s your problem? - Nothing, sir

I was in the loo What’s the problem, sir?

Day before yesterday, late at night your wife filed a complaint you’re missing

When I called back phone was switched off

I was patrolling this side So I thought I’ll look in

‘No one is at home’

‘My wife has gone shopping after dropping our son in school, sir’

My friend hosted a party That’s why I couldn’t pick your call

Are you brainless or what?

Will you call and disturb us for such trivial issues?

‘Do you think we are jobless?’

‘Why do you drag us into husband-wife squabbles?’

Sorry, sir

You said no one is at home What was that noise?

That’s an old fan I bought in OLX It creaks now and then, sir

‘Shiva…?’

‘Shiva’

‘Shiva’

Good you came I was the one who called

Thilaka is not well Has the ambulance arrived?

Who are you?

My father-in-law, sir

He’s mentally unsound

So when my wife goes out she usually locks him inside

Uncle, come Sit down and relax

Please come

Yov! Don’t you know it’s wrong to lock up an elderly person like this?

I was feeling a bit unwell I thought I’ll lie down

He might wander away leaving the door open, sir

Sorry, sir

We haven’t done anything unlawful

I am a good man at heart

Take a look

Except Arvind Swami we have all the ‘Swamy’ photos

My wife was a little impulsive

That’s all, sir

I don’t blame you

Nowadays there’s no ground rule for calling the police

Last week a drunk stood on the phone tower because his wife walked out

That too in his briefs, loose!

Then it might have come off!

I meant our ‘madcap’! Took us 3 hours to bring him down

Your wife didn’t know At least you could’ve called her

…informed her you’ll be late and you’re with friends, right?

Sir, I’m sure you’re worldly wise

Generally a wife never thinks high of her husband’s friends

How affectionate we are with our wife’s friends

They lack that equanimity

Okay, fine

There was a murder in this area If you have any suspicion, call-

Sir, I swear I won’t disturb you

I said call us

- Sorry, sir - Daft or what?

“This very night long ago”

I have travelled all over the world

I have stayed in all the 5 star hotels

But only in this hotel there’s no swimming pool

Mr Krishnan This isn’t a hotel

Care center

There isn’t any swimming pool here

What do you mean? Do you think I am an idiot?

I’ll go to consumer court

They are trying to con me

‘What do they take me for?’

Inspector called me He wants to meet us right now

- Why? - ‘Johnny’

- Johnny? - Maria, please

Doctor, where is my Johnny?

Johnny is not well So he’s resting

I need to see him now

I want to talk to him please I want to meet Johnny

- Doctor, please - Maria, you can talk to him

- No, this is not my Johnny - Please calm down

- I am Johnny - Don’t touch

Please, you go away No, I want my Johnny

You go…you go…you go

‘Maria…!’

I want my Johnny

I want my Johnny I love him

Please move

No, he is not my Johnny

Maria, what are you doing?

I want my Johnny

Shiva, I’m coming back

I want my Johnny please

Hello, sir I’m Shiva

Mr Govindharaj’s son

Oh! Hello

Did you get any news about your father?

Not yet, sir

- We are searching day and night - I'm sure you’ll find him

I’ll also pray for him

Thank you, sir

I want to tell you something

I haven’t studied human behavior as much as I've delved into computer and software

But only when I meet someone like you I regain my faith in humanity

I learnt from you about unconditional love

This isn’t such a big feat, Shiva

She’s the one who has forgotten everything

I haven’t, hmm?

Archana, I saw the birthday video you sent me

But it was cut half way through

What did my dad wish?

He said, 'I want to find the right bride for my son when my memory is still intact'

He’ll keep harping I should get married

And keep sending me photos of prospective brides

Didn’t you like any of them?

How can I decide looking at a photo?

Archana, sorry about last night

I think I made you feel really uncomfortable

It’s okay

Generally I don’t get so drunk

But I hope you understand

What did you say, Shiva?

This…this world

Okay

This car

New car?

I need to go looking all around, right? So I borrowed my friend’s car

Shiva, 1 minute

Your dad drew this

When he was new here he said he would sketch me

Still incomplete

Archana, what’s happened to Mr Ramu

He was gasping for breath last night

We’ve admitted him in the hospital

But something surprising happened

His son came and hasn’t left his bedside

It’s like a miracle

I just can’t believe it

Good evening, sir

Hello, sir Please take a seat

Sit down, madam

What would you like to drink? Tea…coffee?

- We are fine, sir - Then juice it is

Hey! 2 glasses of cool juice

I've been getting calls from a minister and IAS officers from last evening

Regarding what, sir?

Everything to do with your father

Sir, I didn’t tell anyone

I don’t know anyone in that level

No…no, they are his old students

They are placed well in society now

They used their clout

Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp The buzz was instant all over the net

Infact it’s trending online today

That’s why I’ve asked all my men to patrol all the areas

Every single road

We’ll somehow find your father, sir

Hell-o Yes, sir!

Is that so, sir?

I’m dealing with it right now, sir

I’ll get my full force into this, sir

We’ll find him, sir

Yes, sir Okay, sir

Commissioner

I believe even he is your father’s old student

Oh! Quite possible

Actually the moment you complained

From that second onwards we are dealing only with your father’s case

I haven‘t gone home for the past 48 hours

My wife yelled at me But work is worship, right?

Duty is important, huh?

Thank you

- Thank you, sir - No mention

The reason I called you is

Suppose someone enquires about this case to you

…I’ll appreciate it if you tell them we are dealing with it diligently

Sure, sir

Thank you so much

By the way my name is Thangaraj

We’ll take leave then

I swear he'll bring the juice for you

It’s okay, sir Thanks

Okay

You can call me anytime, sir

Thank you, sir

Thank you, sir

2 juice cancelled, cool

My dad has forgotten everything But he lives in so many hearts!

Hello?

‘Sir, the man in the Missing poster is with me now’

Is that so?

Yes, sir

‘Yes, how much is your cash reward?'

Money isn’t a problem Where did you find him?

‘Bring 0.1 million and come to the venue I ask you to’

That’s okay, sir How is he now?

- ‘He is with me for the past 1 week’ - IDIOT!

Sir, did you call me? Thangaraj!

He’s missing for just 2 days If I get hold of you-

Trying to swindle a man who is traumatized

Do you have any compassion?

- Hello…hello? - Shiva, please

We’ve mentioned ‘cash reward’ This is bound to happen

Such fellows- Is he human at all?

I got a call like this yesterday He showed a lot of concern

Then he said, ‘You have a lovely voice You must look beautiful too’

- And asked me out for coffee - What did you reply?

‘Your voice is lousy You must be awful looking’

‘I am not interested' I said and asked him to hang up

Scumbags!

Shiva, please

You have a lovely voice You look beautiful too

Will you have a cup of coffee with me?

Shiva, all of us have a black dog and a white dog inside us

Love, compassion, kindness are virtues of the white dog

Lies, rage, robbery, revenge are vices of the black dog

These 2 dogs will always be competing and fighting inside us

Do you know which dog will win?

Tell me, grandpa Which dog will win?

Tell me, grandpa

He forgot

We can perform a simple temple wedding Then invite our guests for a get-together

He thinks you’re the bride

By all means, sir

If you let me know the date I’ll bring her myself

I can even play the trumpet

Will you stop it?

- Correct - Aiyo!

I haven’t gone to work for the past 3 days

I haven’t even asked leave of absence

If you give my phone I can report sick

You can’t call now Wait till bro nods an okay

You shut up, ungrateful oaf!

- Who is ungrateful? - You

You hit me on my head when I called the ambulance

Don’t trust him He will let you down

Don’t shoot off your mouth

- What the hell? - How dare you deride me

If you’re so grateful sit in a corner, wag your tail

‘You don’t know me’

You can't even scare a child

‘But you’re scared, right?’

I'm sparing you for my sister’s sake

When did my wife become your sister?

What is your father’s name? Your mother’s name?

Tell me, I say Tell me

What’s the issue now? You keep quiet

Don’t trust him, sir

He thrust a knife on my nec-

Akka, I think he’s a Hindi master!

That’s Math, you moron

When our house was being built

...dad sold mom's jewelry as we were short of cash

He was so worried That's why he painted her like this

Wow...it's a nice one

My dad din't draw this Someone else did

- Who? - His name is Shiva!

Really?

Only useful skill I learnt from my dad

When I was a kid

...I got so fed up of drawing on paper I didn't spare a single wall

My mom gave me one hard blow on my back

My dad said, 'why have you left this wall empty?'

Both of us painted this

My parents got into a world war after that!

But my dad kept quiet and retired to his room

Amma didn't give up

She told my dad

'I married you because you fell in love with me, I didn't love you'

I thought a volcano would erupt!

Then?

My dad coolly replied, '1 person's love is enough for a marriage to work'

'If both fall in love it will only lead to fights'

This is exactly how my amma laughed too!

When he was new at our center I used to talk a lot to him

He used to share a slice of his life with me

That too his love story

Wow! I would ask him to repeat it

Love story?

Yes, his love story

Oh!

What, Shiva?

I knew he fell in love but-

He has never told me his love story even once

I remember asking him once

To which he said

Tell me when you fall in love I'll tell you then

This was his reply

Oh!

Do you know how he'll begin his story every time I asked?

A man and a woman

When they look at each other with true love

At that very moment

God plants a seed for an entire generation

When you appa met your amma he was a final year student

Your mom had just joined, 1st year

My Thilaka was not a head turner

But in my eyes

She was Miss World!

She was very reserved by nature

And flash a special smile once in a while

Wow...interesting!

- Then? - I had to travel

...only to 2 km to reach my college

But she had to start from Guindy

12 km

So sad

I'll start early in the morning Go to Guindy, wait at the bus stop

I'll travel with her

Do you know where their bus-love progressed to the next level?

- Canteen, huh? - Wrong

Library

Naturally it would've been deserted

Your mom made a beeline to the library when she was free

I started reading books only because of her

The more I read

I was hopelessly in love

Hoping to talk to her atleast before I graduated

One day I went and stood in front of her

She looked up at me

Without blinking an eye

I froze like a statue made of snow

My love was reflected in her eyes too

Ap...appa has been so perseverant, huh?

I just can't believe it

By the way on tat day did he profess his love?

No, he couldn't muster up courage So he went back home

'Then I graduated'

'I joined as a post-grad student in the same college just for her'

3 years just whizzed past

Aiyaiyo!

My course was about to end

Can't delay it any longer

What should I do?

What?

Letter!

Letter...letter

Letter

Yes, I wrote a letter

- 4 pages - 4

I wrote 4 pages to her

- Where is Thilaka? - Where?

Thilaka?

In her aunt's house

She was staying with her mother's sister

I cycled straight to her house with the letter in my pocket

It was pouring cats and dogs

I went and stood there drenched to my skin

After a long, long time...

Thilaka came out

I walked up to her with the letter in my hand

In her...

I dropped the letter in her mail box

Then?

She read the letter

She was totally disappointed

- Why? - Why?

- Why? - Because

...After standing in the rain for so long

...his letter was wet with ink smudged on the paper

Aiyaiyo!

- Now villain entry - Who was that?

After that

Every day I'll cycle

To the road where she lived

I'll see her

She'll see me

Both of us never noticed her aunt was watching us

Sometime later

I went there one day

Her house was locked

I went 2 days continuously

But Thilaka wasn't there

Not knowing

Not knowing what to do I felt I had gone mad

Then?

Your friend

Friend

Her friend came to see me

She handed over...a letter

A letter Thilaka wrote to me

'I am going to my hometown'

She said her father was unwell

She signed it

Your Thilaka

Your Thilaka

Imagine my joy

Your Thilaka...!

I don't know how many times I read those 2 words

I couldn't wait any longer

I took a bus to her hometown

Went straight to her house

Only then I knew

They had tricked her and she was to marry someone else

My heart broke and my world just collapsed

I wept inconsolably and reached the bus stand

I was about to board the bus

I remembered the words 'Your Thilaka'

I felt I was making a grave blunder

If it is true love...

I decided I should fight for it till my last breath

I don't know from where I got that kind of courage

I walked into her house again

They beat me to a pulp

They dragged me but I went upto Thilaka and stood before her

Thilaka saw me

Thilaka!

'Will you marry me?' I asked her

Those were the 1st words I spoke to her

With tears streaming down her cheeks Thilaka came and held my hand

I held her hands tight and dragged her away from them

Your Thilaka

Then?

Doesn't matter, Shiva

Isn't this a beautiful love story?

Like strangers in a train who share the same compartment

And travel together

I stayed under the same roof and didn't really know my parents

I'm too ashamed to even think of it

All these days, I thought my dad led a rather boring life

But he has led quite an adventurous life

Thanks, Archana

Thanks to you, I found my dad in my heart again

I feel like seeing him atleast once more

'A man and woman...'

'When they look at each other with true love'

'At that very moment'

'God plants a seed for an entire generation'

It's getting late, see you

If you feel like drinking...

...make yourself another cup of coffee

- Ranga, is it over? - Not yet, bro

- Are you playing the fool? - Bro

There's a temple festival nearby

- The coast is not clear - Ranga

I liked your sense of gratitude and self confidence

Retrospect on your life 5 years ago and how I've nourished you

Bro, when have I disobeyed you?

Only that faith is making me call you

I wanted to tell you

That boy Kasi who's with you

Kill him too

- Bro, he is our boy - Do what I say Ranga!

We should leave no clues in a crime scene He disobeyed that rule

Our life is at stake if we spare him

He trusted me and came, bro

Wrong timing for sentiments, Ranga

If we have to be comfortably well off

...we must kill anyone who is an obstacle, got it?

Don't lose me by supporting a boy who walked in yesterday

Nothing of that sort, bro

Let me ask you one last time Can you do this or not?

Okay, bro I'll handle it

In you go!

Bro...?

Shiva, do you know which dog will win?

The dog which you feed and raise with love will win

[Holy chant]

'Uncle, wait'

'Make a wish and then cut'

'Okay'

'- What did you wish for? - Tell us'

'What will I wish?'

'My son Shiva should'

'...get married before my memory fades'

'With a girl like Archana'

'Why 'like Archana'? Let's ask her'

'Uncle!'

'- Cut the cake' - Okay'

'Happy Birthday'

- Hello - I killed everyone, bro

Good, how did you dispose the bodies?

That is...my problem, bro

Job neatly done

Where are you?

I am...er-

- Near Orapakkam railway station - Stay there, be safe

I'll call you, after making some other arrangements

Go to Mumbai and stay till all the issues settle here

- I'll take care of all your needs - Okay, bro

Ranga has cleared the hurdles

So only Ranga is alive

Let's close his chapter too

Guna, whatever you told Ranga the same holds good here

This is not the time for sentiments

The police department is head deep involved in this case

That's why I'm insisting

Only if the killer is alive will a finger point to the man who ordered the killing

Brother, how could you do this to me?

Sir, you killed the hand that helped you

Will you eat?

[overlap of indistinct voices]

'I went to ensure you got medical aid'

'If you had let me go I would have'

'I am just a normal man'

'I haven't repaid my home loan'

'I didn't do anything wrong'

'Why did you do this to my family?'

'Shall I serve you sambar?'

Yaaay! I got 3

'Going up the ladder? Wait, I'll get you'

Shucks!

Rajappa

Let's go for a walk

God help me

Yes

- Hello - Madhavi, this is Kasi

Kasi...? Hello...?

Hello?

Shucks!

- Hello? - Madhavi, this is Kasi

Kasi, where did you disappear? No sign of you for 2 days

I'm here on an important task

Why ddin't you call me?

No, sweetheart My phone fell into a tub of water

Like you said I kept it in a bag of rice, dried-

Okay, where are you now?

I am in a house in Kolappakkam

Hello...hello?

Aiyo!

Badri, he hasn't killed anyone

'He bluffed to us'

He's in Kolapakkam now

You were right Badri

Ranga is playing games with us

Okay, I'll handle it

I won't be the only one to get caught

I'm telling you I'll handle it?

'Why get tense for no reason?'

If he calls you once more talk to him normally

Call me immediately

I'll go to Kolapakkam right away

Shiva, it's late We need to leave

1 minute, I'll come I need to send a mail

I've received a job offer from the US

I'm not taking it

Life is beautiful

'Life is beautiful'

'Hi...!'

'What are you looking at?'

'You are me'

'I don't know what state you'll be in when you watch this'

'I am not even sure if you'll get to watch this'

You are suffering from Alzheimer's disease

'You'll slowly forget everything'

'If you see this video by chance...'

'I am recording this so you'll know who you are'

'Your name is Govindarajan'

'M.Sc., M.Phil'

'Professor in Mathematics'

'Your wife's name is Thilaka'

'You both fell in love and got married'

'She isn't alive now'

'She died of cancer'

'Your son's name is Shiva'

'Software engineer'

'These 2 people mean the world to you'

'You've been the perfect husband'

'And a great father'

'The ideal teacher as well'

'You've moulded good students for our society'

'Now...'

'Shiva is your world'

'Even if you forget everything in this world...'

'Shiva will never forget you'

'He will take good care of you till the very end'

'In a way, you are very lucky'

'So don't worry about anything'

'Shiva is with you'

'Shiva is your life'

'Life is beautiful'

Shiva

Shiva

It's okay

Shiva

Don't cry, please

Cheers!

Ranga, give me a cigarette

Come on

Repeat

Ranga, that body in the van-

Did you stab and kill that body in the van?

You came to drink, do that

Why butt your nose in?

Actually whether I get high or not words overflow when I am drunk

Last week, in this same bar I spoke for an hour to a chap on GST

He didn’t utter a single word

Then he fixed his hearing aid and walked out

Hearing you for even 5 minutes is torture

Imagine 12 times that Poor fellow!

Okay, let’s not touch professional matters

Tell me about yourself

Your parents Are you married?

I was a little confused

I wanted to drink and so I called you

Don’t talk unnecessarily Just zip your lips and drink

You shouldn’t decide when your brain is fuzzy

- What is bothering you? - When to kill all of you!

My parents died when I was very young

I’ve reached this level with great difficulty

I wanted a family of mine and that’s why I fell in love

My son is my life, sir

He is my whole world

My family has no one except me to support them

Sir, if you’ve decided to kill

…then kill all 3 of us

Shall we go?

1 minute

I’ll buy a cigarette

1 packet cigarette

Yov! Have you seen this chap?

No, sir

What about you?

No

Sir, he is looking for you

Is he a cop?

Sir! We are checking all the vehicles regarding that murder case

Commissioner had also called me

We are investigating 24x7 We’ll nab the culprit for sure

Call me if you get to know any information regarding this case

Sure, sir I’ll do that

enna mama majaava?

Good night

What, bro?

Bro…!

Rascal! Where’s the phone?

Give me the phone

Didn’t I warn you not to talk to that wretched female?

Give it

I can hear him hitting Kasi Go and check what’s wrong

He hit the good Samaritan on his head, let him die

- Tell me - Sorry, bro

- Whom else did you talk to? - Don't hit, bro

‘Lord Muruga, with your glance grant protective assistance’

‘May Your ever vigilant spear remove my anxieties and fear’

‘Lord Muruga, with your glance grant protective assistance’

‘May Your ever vigilant spear remove my anxieties and fear’

'Save me...save me and protect me Lord Muruga, I am your devotee'

‘Lord Muruga, with your glance grant protective assistance’

'Save me'

We are leaving

Sir?

So many events occurred beyond my control

I think I’ve troubled you too much Please forgive me

It's okay

I usually sleep with a knife under my pillow

I could never sleep

But these 4 nights I slept peacefully without a pillow

See you

Where will you go, sir?

I am so jealous of you

You’re like a new born baby having blissfully forgotten everything

You came out of the blue and turned my life topsyturvy

I’ll take leave

Come

Get up

I’ve never fallen at anyone’s feet to be blessed, I just feel like it

Happy birthday, Shiva

The traffic is bad in Bombay Drive carefully please

Sir, what about him?

I don’t know where he came from

He doesn’t know either

Please take care of him if you can

See you

I'll take leave

Come

See you, akka Bye, uncle

- Yes? - I’m Archana’s mother

Hi, aunty

Don’t get down

I need to tell you something important

How can I help you?

We’ve seen a groom for Archana

We want to get her married soon

It doesn’t augur well if she’s with you at all odd hours

As much as your dad is important to you our daughter means the world to us

I hope you understand what I’m saying

Please stay away from her

Sir, we searched this place on that night thoroughly

You could’ve missed it in the dark

We may get a clue if we hunt in broad daylight

- You go and search - Okay, sir

Come

Take care of yourself Don’t wander around alone

Get down

If you go straight down this road you’ll reach the police station

Police station

Go inside

Take care

Sir, take a look at this

‘Who are you?’

'My father-in-law, sir'

'He’s mentally unsound'

I’m sub inspector from Kolapakkam

Yes, sir

Your patient Govindaraj

He has been missing and we have complained, sir

Missing?

Yes, sir, he went missing when he was out with his son

His son?

Doesn’t he have only 1 daughter?

No, sir He has just 1 son

‘His name is Shiva’

- Are you sure? - Of course, sir

What happened?

I’ll call you back

Okay, I’ll go immediately to Kolapakkam police station

Thanks

I don’t know the link between our case and this gentleman

But I know where he lives

Let’s go

Madhavi, he hit me and confiscated my phone

Aiyaiyo! Is that so?

I must somehow escape from his clutches, Madhavi

Ask him where he is now

Tell me where you are

I’ll ask sir to rescue you

We are in an old library enroute to Vandalur

You stay right there I’ll tell sir when he comes home

Aiyaiyo! Madhavi He’s coming

I’ll talk to you later

Hello…hello?

Somehow I suspect Guna

Why do you say so?

Guna’s big project has stopped half way

Sabapathy is the reason

Guna tried to pressurize Sabapathy But Sabapathy refused to budge

There’s a mole in our department who has a hand in this murder

That’s my suspicion, sir

What are you saying?

That van was seized by our department

That’s why I feel I’m right

Hello?

There’s an old library in this area it seems

We drove past it, sir

Turn the car

We had complained about a missing person named Govindaraj

Inspector called me

He has gone out

’He’s coming I’ll talk to you later’

Bro?

Before they come here let’s run away somewhere

I’m fed up of running

This isn’t the time to run and hide

It’s time to check mate

Okay, you go

- Bro? - You aren’t made for this

Go and find a decent job

Where will I go, bro? I can’t leave you

I don’t mind falling at Guna sir’s fee-

Bloody fool!

Guna asked me to kill you first

I am next in his list

Bro…?

Rascal! I bent myself backwards for him

I realized only when I stayed with a family these 3 days

I didn’t murder an individual

But some families en masse

You go now, they may land up anytime

Whatever happens I’ll be by your side, bro

Wait for an hour at the railway station nearby

If I don’t come you leave

I don’t want, bro

Take it

Take it, go

I’ll wait in the station Please come, bro

Okay, go now

Come without fail

Just go now

- Bro? - GO…!

Go

Wait here

I’ll be back

You wanted to kill me

Ramana, get the knife from him

Bro…bro?

Bro

What happened?

Bro

I tried my level best

I couldn’t chase the black dog away

That’s why I ki…killed it

Bro…you asked me to wait

Don't leave me all alone like this

I think my boss is in a meeting

He isn’t picking my call

I’ll call you as soon as he gets back

- You leave now - Okay, sir

Give me a cigarette

Chee!

‘Terrorizing murders in Chennai Police department stunned!!!’

I never thought it will end this way

I thought he’ll get married and settle down

Both are same, dear Forget it

What would have happened to that boy?

The one who called you ‘akka’? I have no idea

If he was dead his mug shot will be in the papers too

What's my lunch?

Oil cake and fodder!

Quiet mischief!

Shiva, buy half a litre milk for your mother in the evening

I’ll get you 1 whole litre

Not here

Go over there Police station

I’m hungry

I am hungry

I haven’t decided what to do with him

Do you mind him staying here with us?

Let him be, dear Poor thing

Won’t we take care of your father or mine?

Janu, your father is like him

But your mother remembers even her previous birth!

Joke?

Go now

Don’t bring someone back with you

I’ll come back soon

Put Vicky to bed early and wait for me

Don’t drool Go now

Janu, what will I eat-

Shiva?
