Maari...

Amudha...

Amudha...

Why did you do it?

Maari.

What happened?

-Amudha... -She's alive.

Why did she do it?

Lift her up. Quick!

Amudha...

Careful.

-Don't worry Rama. -Move aside.

[Government Primary Health Centre] [Devanaadu]

Careful, Maari. Careful.

We cannot wait for the bus to arrive. Someone call 108.

-When has 108 arrived here on time? -Doesn't matter, just call.

I will call them, uncle.

Maari? Why are you lifting her up?

The ambulance will be here soon.

-How long will can you carry her? -108? It's an emergency.

Ambulance also did not come.

Amudha...

We called you long ago, why are you so late?

If you can move your village to the ground, we will arrive on time.

Bring her down carefully.

Doctor, please save her.

Does none of your village's men have any sense?

If someone gets their arms or limbs severed, you used to...

bring them here after 5 or 6 hours without doing first aid.

How could you do the same to an emergency case like this?

If you had brought her here on time,

we could have saved her.

Amudha...

Bring him in.

Did we have the facilities to take her to the hospital on time?

It's all our fate.

Even the bus stops at our village only twice a day.

Raman fainted in the hospital when he heard that she was dead, it seems.

He's been given glucose drips, they say.

We have lost our last hope too.

What shall we do?

-They have brought her. -Oh God!

Are they here?

Maari! What is this? Did they dissect her body?

My sister would have lived if there had been a doctor in our village hospital.

Maari, let us block this bus.

The Government will come for it. Let us demand a doctor if they want the bus.

-Quiet down -Leave way for the bus.

No we can't. Call your officials here. We will negotiate and release the bus.

Everyone, sit where you are. No one must move.

Sit.

"You lost your life, afraid to face the modern education"

"The tender soul was broken"

Maari...

"O' tender soul"

Your father is alright now, they said.

Doesn't matter how many days it takes,

until the district Collector assures that we will get a doctor,

we must not move an inch.

"O' tender soul"

Look. The Collector is busy with bigger issues. He cannot come here.

We will release the bus only if the collector comes here.

The Collector's car is here. Everybody get up.

Get up and come, hurry.

She got first mark in 10th grade.

You awarded her with the prize.

Now, she is dead.

In our village, we don't have doctor's to handle pregnancy.

Due to that, at least two or three women die every year.

Many of our people have cut their arms and limbs at work...

and have become crippled due to lack of medical facilities.

People die without even knowing their ailment.

This situation is not specific to us, the neighbour villages suffer the same.

If you appoint a doctor...

to our hospital,

we will escape from death.

I understand.

But, whenever we appoint doctors to your village,

they apply for transfer and move to some other place.

Most of the students today pay a hefty fee to become doctors.

Those students want to become doctors only to earn money.

The rest, pursue medicine for pleasure and leisure.

That is why none of them are willing to come to a rural village like this.

But still, I will use my influence...

and appoint a doctor to this hospital.

It is your responsibility to retain him in this village.

But how can we, sir?

It is all up to you.

Shower the doctor with respect.

Provide him whatever he wants.

If he likes you and your village,

he might stay back and continue his service.

This is the best I can do.

This is the best the Government can do.

[COUNTRY]

Rama...

Rama...

Where is Maari?

A doctor is coming to our village.

We must set our sorrows aside...

and make arrangements to welcome him.

That will be good for our village.

So, we'll take leave.

Let's go.

Have they arranged this welcoming party for me?

I don't think so.

It seems like the whole village is gathered around.

Must be some grand event.

Who is this?

Dad?

Are you back to selling tea again?

Have they sacked you from the Chief's post?

He is the permanent Chief of this village as long as he is alive.

Sorry, Maari. I heard the news about your sister.

Don't pretend like you came here as soon as you heard the news.

He has just come out of it and focusing on work.

Shut your mouth and move away. Maari, focus on work.

Here, have it.

Muruga, before the doctor arrives,

-shall we rehearse the welcoming party? -Definitely.

Our Chief will play the doctor.

-Let's begin. -So it does.

"Welcome"

"The doctor who is coming to our village"

"Welcome, welcome, welcome"

"Welcome, welcome, welcome; we welcome you, doctor"

"Greetings, greetings, greetings; we greet you, doctor"

"Our village women will play their sound for you, doctor"

"We will receive you, doctor; we will wish you, doctor"

"We will play the Kombu if you wish, doctor"

"We will give you a feast; we will felicitate you"

"If you desire for it... "

"We will perform dance and drama for you"

"Drama, drama, drama... hey, drama"

"Living on the serene Kolli hills"

"Is the Goddess blessed by Periyakkal"

"The child born to the great river and mountains"

"The sister of Ponnar Sankar"

"This the tale of her"

That is fine. But what about food, accommodation and other stuff.

"A house on top of the hills"

"Meat and rice every day"

"Our salted meat will make anyone salivate"

"Rainwater to drink, sweet toddy for refreshment"

"The waterfall to bath"

"The river for laundry"

"The waterfall to bath. The river for laundry"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

"Stay with us, we'll never die"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

"Stay with us, we'll never die"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

Listen to me people, it is enough.

"Until you stay with us... "

"we will never die... "

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

"Until you stay with us, we will never die"

Who is this girl?

Must be a tourist, I guess.

You will find a waterfalls down this way.

Have a nice shower and go home happily.

Why do you people stop random cars?

Hello.

I am the newly assigned doctor.

Chief...

She looks young.

Is she a real doctor? Or are they trying to deceive us?

Quiet now.

-Chief, garland the doctor mam. -Of course.

Clap.

Yogi, garland the nurse.

I am not a nurse, I am the doctor's grandma.

That's so great.

You must be instrumental in making her a doctor.

Garland the good looking old lady.

I'll better hand it to her.

Chinnasamy, garland him too.

I am just a driver.

But you brought our doctor safely to our place, didn't you?

Go on, garland him.

Clap, clap, clap.

"Welcome... "

-Hello! What is this? -A welcoming song.

No need for that. Step aside.

What are these ugly things?

Clear them out before I come back tomorrow.

Madam, the medicines are here. Check the list and sign on them.

-Keep them inside. -Okay, madam.

-Put all the fruits in their car. -Don't be scared.

You can go out, I will arrange them. You too.

This doesn't look good.

Go.

What are these fruits for?

They are not just fruits. They are sign of our love.

If so, I will take them.

We cannot stay here. Show us some other place.

This is the most luxurious property in our village.

Luxurious property? But it doesn't even have a western toilet.

-What is that? -The sitting loo.

That is in the hospital.

How can we go there every time?

We will install it here in a week.

Why? We are going to stay here only for a week.

You will leave in a week?

Yes. You can leave now.

What are they saying, Maari?

This is a new place to you.

So, let us guard this place until the morning.

No need for that. Leave now.

Doctor mam.

You won't find anything in this house.

For your studies and stuff,

you can use this table and chair.

Keep it inside.

-Maari. -Dad?

Tend to all the doctor's needs.

Okay, dad.

This is my phone number.

Call me if you need anything.

What do you want for dinner?

Tom yum soup, one by two.

One set of phulka, one set of butter naan,

mushroom fry, mixed kadai vegetables,

and a portion of green salad.

You are done guys.

We don't know to prepare them.

Buy them from a restaurant.

We don't have restaurants in our village.

Get us whatever you can manage. Go now.

Such backward people in this modern world?

We must inform about the doctor to all the villages.

Shall we give a TV ad?

But we get no TV signal in our village, isn't it?

These poor people believe everything I say.

Aunty, have you provided food to the doctor.

Yeah, I did.

What she said?

It's good, but it's a bit too 'spicy'.

She said 'pasi'(hungry), with tears in her eyes.

The rice must have been inadequate. Give some more from tomorrow.

Maari...

Have some tea before you go.

Okay, aunty.

Aunty, give the tea to him. Water is fine for me.

Don't mix them both.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Vasantha!

You snore like a tiger.

Male tiger or female tiger?

What happened?

-God! It's a tiger. -Grandma.

Tiger!

Did they put us in some zoo?

I survived corona.

Did you bring me here to be bitten and killed by this tiger?

-Hello. -This is Shobana.

Sorry, who?

This is doctor Shobana speaking.

Doctor mam, do not be scared. It is just an aged tiger.

The place used to be a goat farm. It mistakenly comes there at times.

-You don't be scared. -Let's go.

Loudly sing out a song. We are on the way.

-He's asking us to sing a song loudly. -A song?

But how?

-"Oh, good sir" -"Come, good sir"

"Come here, good sir" "Come, come, good sir"

"Come, good sir. Magical sir, naughty sir, roguish sir"

Hit it. Make some more noise.

-Run, run, run. Faster. -This way.

The tiger is going to the other side. Come on.

Go, go, go.

Chase it away.

-I will come to that side. -They have come.

Careful.

Come, come.

Mam, the tiger has ran away.

So, you didn't chase it, is it?

Our song must have made it to run away scared.

Why didn't you tell about the tiger when I asked you to leave?

For the entire one week of our stay,

you must guard us day and night.

"Oh people of the surrounding villages who suffer from ailments"

"The doctor has come to cure all our ailments"

"Go, see her. Prevent the disease before it spreads"

"Go, see the doctor. Prevent the disease before it spreads"

An announcement to the Gunturnaadu people.

-A doctor has come to Devanaadu hospital. -What?

-A doctor has come to Devanaadu hospital? -Yes.

On behalf of Devanaadu, we ask you to see the doctor and cure your ailments.

You are late by a day.

How dare you ask me to put proxy for yesterday?

You don't even look like compounder and nurse.

Wear your uniforms and start your duty.

-I did not bring my uniform, doctor. -Why?

I will get my transfer order tomorrow.

-That is why I did not bring it. -Tomorrow?

Health minister is from our community.

He's a kind hearted person.

Except that, he demands money to help others.

Since he was not satisfied with the dowry,

he didn't even try for a second child.

-Enough now. -I have brought my uniform, doctor.

Go wear it.

Uncle, the tiger cage must atleast measure 10x5.

Sure, it can be done.

Maari, the small doctor wants to see you.

He is not a doctor, he's a compounder.

Tell me, what's your concern?

Endless stomach pain.

From when?

Right from my birth. I have tried eating stone and sand,

but nothing worked.

Eating stone and sand will only make it worse.

First, stop doing it.

Make her to lie down.

Go.

Lie down here.

Who is the next patient?

Keep your legs here.

Does it hurt?

-Here? -Yes.

Please get up.

Sit there.

Take this tablet and you'll be cured.

Make a queue.

-Come on. -The doctor told me to get this tablet.

Queue means straight line.

What is this?

Ask them to clean up before coming here.

The doctor might hold their hands, open their mouth,

eyes and nose.

If they remain unclean, the doctor might run away today.

Hello. We have come to serve you people.

Can't you even get me a tea?

-I will get it. -Where? From that shop?

I'd rather run away from here than drinking that tea.

The tea should feel arousing like a new wife.

Got it?

Get it for me, the doctor...

and for the nurse too.

Must we get tea like a new wife for the doctor and the nurse as well?

-Or must we get tea like a new husband? -You are a bit cheeky, aren't you?

Muruga, be quiet.

I will get it.

One more thing.

The tea must be excellent.

It's the doctors order.

I work in Coffee Day,

yet, they ask Maari about tea.

What does he know about tea?

You work in a coffee shop.

Then, how do you know about tea?

-The Chief is right. -Be patient, people.

How can you people be so innocent?

It rains only because people like you.

Yogi has returned from the city.

He must be able to understand the doctor's taste.

Let him drink.

You think so?

Drink the tea and say something.

Drink it.

-What is it? -Green tea.

Green tea?

God! Do you even know what green tea is? Step out of this mountain at least once.

-What is this? -Yellow tea.

Yellow tea?

If there is a green tea, why can't there be a yellow tea?

Our women are making colourful teas.

Red tea?

Oh dear! Yogi, is the tea red?

Damn. I told the doctor that my son is urinating blood,

she told me to get a sample for test.

I think I brought it by mistake.

None of them is a good tea.

If she drinks any of your tea, she will leave the village.

What is this absurdity?

Maari.

What can we do now? Give us a solution.

Uncle...

Yogi seems to know a lot about tea.

So, let us assign the tea making job to him.

I came here to loot my dad's money and open my own coffee shop in Chennai.

-I cannot stay in this village. -Look.

You cannot leave this village.

You must make tea for the doctor everyday.

This is the panchayat's decision.

If you still try to leave this village,

I will donate all my wealth to the villagers. So be cautious.

Yogi, you just keep spinning the cups.

-When will you make the tea? -Right away.

Do not doubt me. I can make tea.

You are weak. You must take the tablets properly.

Only then the child will come out fine.

Come in for your monthly checkups and get your tables. Okay?

-Should I also come every month? -Yeah, the both of you.

Come.

She will give the tablets.

-What is this? -Tea, doctor.

Why is she not reacting?

They gave all those build-ups for this?

Wow, that's great.

You spraying perfume on them.

Seems like you will make the doctor to stay.

Bro, the tea is awesome.

-He fell from the tree... -It's our village people.

What happened dad?

Soman fell from a tree.

Step aside, step aside. Go.

What happened?

-My son fell from the tree. -Get me that bench.

He is lying absolutely still.

Put it here. Put him over this table.

-Move. -Lift, lift.

Save my son.

He is already dead. Why make such a scene?

Bring him in. Quick, quick.

Nothing, you will be alright.

Are you Vimal?

You have a registered post.

Doctor, I have got my transfer order.

Is this the right time to bring this in such serious situation?

Can't you wait for 5 minutes.

Serious situations are part of hospitals.

Move. Everyone, please get out.

-Please, be outside. -Go out.

Mam, please go out.

Uncle...

You got me married when I was 16.

When Soman was one year old,

my husband fell from a tree and died.

When my son fell down from the same tree,

I thought he was dead.

He was in the clutches of the death God,

but the doctor mam saved his life.

My husband would have suffered just like my son did today, wouldn't he have?

Wouldn't he have screamed 'I have life left in the body, save me'?

How much he would have yelled?

If only there had been a doctor like her on that day,

she would have saved his life. Wouldn't she have?

Maari...

The small doctor got himself transferred today.

If the doctor had done the same thing,

my son would have been dead.

These people frequently hold board meetings without prior announcement.

Yet, everyone is present without fail.

Wonder what is the topic today.

Mom, I am not going to the school today.

Attention please.

For the doctor mam to stay in our village,

as the Collector said,

we must make her like us and our village.

Do you have any ideas to make it happen?

Uncle...

Shall we levy a tax on everyone and gift two kuthuvilaku lamps to the doctor?

Kuthuvilaku lamp?

Really?

Instead, shall we buy her a bulb?

The kuthuvilaku needs oil, bulb needs just a switch.

Did the doctor attain puberty recently?

Chief...

Shall we gift her a big metal pot?

The meager metal pot will be of no use to the doctor.

Uncle, I have an idea.

What is it?

If we make the doctor to invest in a 5 lakh chit fund for 25 months,

she cannot move from our village.

Now I know why you did not grow; your head is full of poison.

Shall we buy her a good saree and blouse?

Old lady, do you think the doctor has a shortage of good clothes?

You people don't even know what she likes,

how are you going to make her stay back?

We will make her stay in this village.

-This snake always speaks negative. -Was I being too brash?

If she was from here, we could have guessed it,

but she is an outsider. How could we know what she likes?

What is the need to walk in this mountain forest?

If I don't walk, I will become like you.

You don't look like a local villager.

This is my village, but I am living in Chennai.

-What do you do in Chennai? -I am working in Coffee day.

Aren't there any such cafe's here?

No.

They don't even have restaurants, you expect a cafe?

We have a Tea Day.

Really? Where is it?

Show here the place. You told her, right?

It's behind that mountain.

Can you take me there someday?

If she asks for Tea Day, what will you do?

-We'll build it. -You'll build it?

Oh God!

-Go on. -You go on.

We'll go a bit slow.

-Go with the doctor. -Okay, okay.

Doctor mam said that she likes you a lot.

What else does she likes?

She likes to go walking.

But not alone like she is doing now.

She likes to go walking with groups of people.

She likes party, dance, functions, all that kind of stuff.

Party, function, dance.

Party, function, dance. Party, function, dance.

Party, function, dance.

Why is everyone running?

Tiger must have entered the village, they are chasing it.

A tiger? No need of your walking and stuff. Just come.

Party! Function! Dance!

From what Maari is saying, looks like we must arrange a temple festival.

Sister, look at my father.

He will turn to Maari and ask "Maari, what can we do now?"

Maari, what can we do now?

-Didn't I tell you. -Yeah.

Let's not conduct festivals and involve our Gods.

Let's make a wedding with all the sound and festivities.

That's a good idea. So, you be the bridegroom.

If I lose some again in my family, because of the lack of a doctor,

I cannot bear it, uncle.

Please spare me.

Bakyam. Are you fine with marrying Selvakumar?

I don't want Selvakumar, I will marry Ravi.

-What? -Times have changed.

I don't want Bakyam, I will marry Sumathi.

Yikes! I won't marry you. I'll better marry Selvam

Uncle, can we wed Paari and Valli?

Heard him? He wants to conduct marriage for a married couple.

Maari, they are already married and have two kids.

Don't you know about it?

A wedding preceded by the doctor.

It must happen immediately, too.

It is possible only with them.

Maari is right. They may be a married couple, but she doesn't know it.

So, let's get Paari and Valli married with the village expenses.

-Do you all agree. -We agree.

The doctor also like songs and dance.

So, don't be shy to dance and sing. She must be elated. Got it?

Hello, mic testing. Hello.

The doctor mam is coming. We request all our village folks to welcome her.

Silence, silence.

I have a small doubt...

in this marriage.

She found out.

I am not sure if I can ask this.

You can ask, doctor.

How old are you?

18.

You?

20.

They are not old enough to be married.

Marriage age of a woman is 19.

Marriage age of a man is 21.

You two must wait for one more year.

They will wait. They will.

Being a doctor, if I allow this child marriage to happen,

it will be a mistake.

-Yes, a mistake. -Sorry.

You don't have to regret it, doctor.

You have given us a great message.

-On your behalf, we'll all take an oath. -Yes, yes.

Hereafter, in this village, we will marry only after we reach marriage age.

Hold your hand in this position and repeat the doctor's words.

Say it doctor.

-In obedience with the legal laws, -In obedience with the legal laws,

-only a woman who completed 18 years, -only a woman who completed 18 years,

-and a man who completed 21 years, -and a man who completed 21 years,

-will be married. -will be married.

-We swear on it. -We swear on it.

We swear on it.

If this marriage had happened in my precedence,

I wouldn’t have been this happy.

But you people taking an oath,

make me so proud and happy.

The doctor is happy, let's head to the feast.

Feast for a dropped marriage?

Please come, mam.

These people hurt others to bury their mistakes.

So, what is your real age?

23, brother.

-And you? -24.

24?

Then why did you lie to her?

If I say 23, I thought she might find that I am a mother.

Mom, is your wedding over?

Who is this kid?

-My first son. -Such a big kid?

How old were you when you got married?

-15 years. -15 years?

Doctor, mam, your oath was right.

But you must have done it 10 years ago.

Sir, you said just one week when assigning this post.

It's been 8 days today.

A tiger entered my guest house on the first day.

There are frequent power cuts, I cannot work here.

Those villagers are living with the same tigers and other animals.

For you two to sleep peacefully,

ten men are staying awake.

What can I do about it? Isn't it the government's job.

Yes, the government sent you.

For each student of the Government medical college, we spend 1.70 crores.

We don't do it to send you to some foreign country.

It is to serve our local people.

This is not a compulsory job.

Show some compassion. Work for one more week.

If I transfer you now, those people will be heart broken.

Doctor...

Don't come after me.

What mistake did I do?

Insincere people are living life their own way.

I worked hard and got first class in college.

Shouldn't I decide my own life? I am not denying to work.

I just want to work in a place I like.

Why don't you understand it, sir?

You know Maari? The guys who does everything here.

I am his father.

I am the first person to start a fertilizer shop in this mountain.

But, I never knew it's harmfulness at that time.

A tribal doctor, Aandi, who came from that lineage lived in our village.

My brother trained under him.

One day, he came with my brother,

and told me 'Rama, the fertilizers you sell are altering our plants and soil'

'The toxin in them mix with the air and change the nature of the herbs'

'So my herbal treatments are not working'

'Stop selling fertilizers', he said.

I mocked him by asking,

'how can these fertilizers change the nature of plants?'

He replied...

'just like a drunkard who forgets his own identity, '

'the plants also eat the fertilizers and forget their identity', he said.

I told him, 'the plants that ate fertilizers are bearing many fruits'

He replied 'if giving birth to a single child is a daunting task, '

'imagine the pain of bearing 10 babies', he said.

Even after that, I didn't stop selling fertilizers.

So, he stopped his practice, his teaching and vanished into the forest.

My brother got angry on me and left the house.

Before I could learn my mistake,

lot's of diseases sprouted in this land.

And I lost two of my family members too.

When I realized that the fertilizers I sold were a reason behind it,

I went into the forest to find tribal doctor Aandi.

I found him in a cave. He was dead in a seated position.

I carried him back,

and buried him here.

After that, as an atonement to my sins,

I gave my shop's land to the government and build a hospital on it.

But, before you came,

not even a single doctor came to our hospital.

If you leave us now,

what will we do?

Hey, Shobana.

Will you get transferred if you sit her alone?

We have work to do. Come.

Come on now.

There are no facilities in our house, what about you?

Come to the hospital tomorrow.

Okay, mam.

The doctor was right, managing without electricity is difficult.

Please don't call a meeting for this?

Take a deep breath.

Turn to that side.

Are you taking food regularly?

No, doctor.

I eat only once a day.

I feel like sleeping all the time.

Dry cough doesn't let me sleep at night.

Hand me the torch.

Put your tongue out.

Collect his blood samples to run tests.

Greetings, doctor.

Maari, is it fine?

Do you people think they are idiots,

Or do you think you are intellects?

They have not noticed you yet.

If they start to notice, you all will be caught.

How did you tie it, dad? It's not coming out.

Go, at least give those two boots.

Why did you make my dad as Chief?

He can't even wear a shoe.

He has swapped the right and left shoes. Look at his awkward walk.

-Greetings, doctor. -Greetings.

Walking exercise, is it?

Your blood test report will be out tomorrow.

Okay, mam.

-Don't forget to come to the hospital. -Sure.

Chief, your shoes are swapped.

Oh, dear.

Seems like we have swapped our boots.

I must wear your's and you must wear mine, it seems.

Remove the boots.

The doctor will surely stay back.

What is that noise?

We have brought the oil engine from Maari's farm.

Hereafter, if there is a power cut, this will power the fan and light.

I can live without fan and light; I hate this sound and smoke.

Switch it off.

Maari, this plan failed too.

Go, stop it.

This is the best idea that they came up with.

And it failed too.

Why have they sent Navamani?

What are they planning to do with her?

I have brought food, mam.

Who are you?

I am Angamma's daughter, Navamani.

Mom went out, so I brought the food.

How many months pregnant are you?

Six or seven, I guess.

Six or seven?

Looks more than that.

So, it must be seven or eight.

Are you not sure about it?

No.

Give me your hand.

It's delivery time.

Get admitted in Namakkal G. H, immediately.

Can't we do it in our hospital?

I sense some complication in it.

But I don't feel any pain.

She doesn't understand the seriousness. Maari.

Get her admitted at the Namakkal G. H, today.

-Go, -Okay, doctor.

Muruga, Muruga...

Navamani has given birth to a girl.

You remember the doctor who scolds us every time for coming late?

He said 'That's great. How did you come on the right time? It is a miracle'

They tore the belly to bring the baby out.

But if we had not taken her yesterday, the baby would've died, it seems.

Doctor is coming.

Navamani gave birth to a child.

Take a candy.

-What baby? -A girl.

Navamani showed the baby and said 'doesn't she look like our doctor?'

Navamani's girl?

Yes, Yogi. She looked just like our doctor.

Don't you have any limit to your atrocities?

-And, your dad's blood test report? -I have it.

-Hello. -Calling from Muthu Diagnostic Center.

I have sent the report of the blood sample you sent.

Okay.

He has cancer, madam.

Doctor mam, you are here to save us. We are obliged to protect you.

This will fend of the worms and insects.

You have already saved two lives in this village.

Show me your hands.

How do you feel now?

Worse than before.

I am somehow managing to move around.

Take these medicines for a week.

Let's see if they work.

Bring these tablets.

Mam...

In one or two days,

you will be out of this village.

After that, who will gives us medicines?

Better not treat us, mam.

We will get used to it.

Until your ailment is cured,

I will not leave this village.

Come.

See you, doctor mam.

What did the doctor say?

Nothing to worry.

-She gave tablets, that's it. -I need to study it.

I had the book with me, but I gave it to a junior.

Can you get it from someone and send it to me?

These are doctor's study materials.

I bought it for my sister.

She is no more.

They were sitting idle at home and rotting.

Check if the book you need is in there.

Okay, keep them in.

Uncle, Tea Day work can wait.

Make a cupboard for books.

You told me to hold the tiger cage for Tea Day,

now, you want me to hold it to make a cupboard?

What else will you ask for?

He will ask you to carve the doctor. Better have a big wood ready.

How long will you read the same report?

Why don't you tell Maari about his dad’s condition and relax yourself?

Maari, it is raining.

Why don't you go to your house?

The wild animals will not come out of the forest when it rains.

But, having a guard around will be of some support to you.

That is why I stayed back and sent everyone home.

Come in.

Here, dry yourself.

You are putting all these efforts to make me stay here.

Instead you could make someone in your village to study medicine.

We are trying to do it for the past 25 years.

But for some reason...

none of our villagers were good in studies.

But my sister was different.

She studied well.

She gave hope to our villagers,

that one of us is going to become a doctor.

When she came of age,

we decided not to gift her money or valuables.

The entire village collected money,

consulted a medical college professor and gifted her 200 books.

From that day, people started calling her Dr. Amudha.

Even in her 12th grade exams,

she scored thousand and...

1192 marks.

The village even organised a grand feast to celebrate it.

After that, they told about some new exam.

My sister did not get a grasp of it, I guess.

She scored low marks.

She could not get the medical college admission.

The entire village mourned it.

My sister was unable to endure it.

She hanged herself and died.

The last hope of our village died with her.

[Dr. Amudha M. B. B. S]

Dad, let us go to the doctor.

No, son.

I will not live.

Chinnasamy, send my apologies to Lakshman.

I will.

We were born together.

Brought up together.

But...

we were not destined to stay together.

I earned a lot of money...

and lived happily.

But I abandoned him.

Maari...

Dad.

Give half of our assets to Lakshman.

-Okay, dad. -Do not cry.

Even if I die...

you have my brother.

Until I am cured,

the doctor has promised me that she will not leave our village.

If she hears the news of my death,

she will have no second thoughts about leaving the village.

Chinnasamy.

-Tell me. -Don't inform my death to the outsiders.

Don't play the drums.

Don't burst crackers.

Don't gather around and lament for me.

Just take 10 men with you,

and bury me.

Rama, don't say such words.

The doctor will stay here, at least, until she finds out about my death.

Out of my ignorance, I committed a sin to this village.

Let this be my atonement.

Maari...

I don't want you to see me dying.

Go out.

Dad...

My tongue will stick out and eyes will ooze out before I die.

I don't want Maari to see it.

-Go out. -Dad...

Maari, wait outside.

Go.

Maari.

Make sure that the doctor mam does not leave our village.

Okay, dad.

How is Raman now?

I don't know, grandma.

Maari, Maari...

Come here.

He passed away. He left us.

Dad...

Dad...

Dad...

Don't cry out loud, the doctor might hear it.

Don't cry out loud.

-Rama... -Don't cry out loud.

I beg you all, don't cry out loud.

Don't cry out loud.

The doctor might hear it.

Don't cry out loud, I beg you.

Don't cry out loud. The doctor might hear it.

If she knows about his death, she will leave the town.

Don't cry out loud.

Maari...

The doctor has called you to bring your father.

You want to bring a dead man to life? how can I do it?

Even the God has abandoned us.

Now, if we tell the doctor that Raman has passed away,

she will be infuriated that we hid the news from her, and go away.

Doctor, Maari has not brought his father yet.

Not yet?

-Why? -I don't know, doctor.

Should we worry for Raman's death or for the fact that doctor may leave?

She will somehow find the truth and leave the village.

We cannot do anything about it.

Maari.

Your dad struggled really hard to bring a hospital and doctor to our village.

We must fulfill his desire.

We must not fail him. You will do it! You will!

Come. We will do it.

Lord Karuppan will be with us.

"In this mountain nation, I search for your traces"

"Waves crash as my body crumbles"

"Oh the wayfarer, show me the way" [Vaalavanthi Naadu] [Welcome You]

"With your directions, I will change things for the better"

"On this mountain bed, many lost souls suffer"

Sir, is Lakshmanan here?

He was here for 6 months. Then he left.

"Oh, the mountain depths, do you hear my voice?"

"Have you ever felt the burden of your own weight?"

Dad...

"These are dire times, things are going grim"

"With your guidance, I can change my fate"

"These weary people live because of you"

"The viscous cycle of life never stops"

"The village longs for you; bless them like a rain. "

You will not find your dad's brother; your plan won't work.

"The times are dark, glow on us like a light"

"Oh, king of the mountain, I have seen your face"

"What more can I ask?, our people will live"

"The future will be our's"

"Oh, kind man, you have helped us like a God"

Lakshmana...

Hope Maari has told you everything.

This village needs your help now.

Das. Go ahead.

Make him look bald.

The doctor will not suspect.

[Government Primary Health Center] [Devanaadu]

Even our folks cannot differentiate between Raman and Lakshmanan,

-do you think the doctor.. -Doctor don't know Raman from Lakshman?

Your folks may not know the difference between Raman and Lakshman,

but I can clearly tell.

When the doctor was only 3 years old, I taught her Ramayan completely.

You escaped again.

-Move. -Go.

You go this way.

What happened Maari? I didn't see you for the past couple of days.

I was busy with work.

-Greeting doctor. -Greetings.

-My name is Raman. -I already know that.

I guess he will expose himself.

Kanthamani.

Doctor.

-Get his samples for blood test. -Okay.

Come.

That room.

Maari, can we go to Tea Day today after my duty hours?

We can, doctor.

His dad passed away of illness.

This doctor took blood test for his paternal uncle.

The report will show that he is perfectly fine.

Wonder what they will do to cover it up?

Such a beautiful Tea Day in this place?

You nailed it, man.

I will use the same builder for my Coffee Day too.

Okay, make her sit. I will bring the tea.

Who owns this place?

Yogi owns it, doctor.

The lost temple bell is hanging here, is it?

Sit.

That day, I called you to discuss about your father's blood test report,

but you spoke about your sister and became emotional.

Your father...

is a nice person.

I like him.

He cares about me a lot.

Take good care of him in the coming days.

He...

The report says that he has tumour.

Tumour? What is it?

Cancer.

I am knowing the cause of his death only after his death.

Cruel life!

If there had been a doctor in the hospital before you,

my father would have known that he had cancer,

-he would have not... -Maari, your dad is not dead yet.

Now we have a doctor. She will take care of him.

Do not spill the truth.

I said it to your dad and I am saying it to you too.

Even if I get the transfer order,

I will stay here till he is alive.

A radio can be turned off, but not Murugan's mouth.

Look at him go.

Muruga, the doctor mam is coming.

Do you work here?

Yes.

This a big IT company, he is the owner,

Murugan here is the team leader.

Once the target is achieved, they'll party in the weekend .

-Come on, Yogi. -Sorry doctor.

I thought of taking your dad to Chennai for treatment.

That is why I took this test on him.

But at this stage...

they have told us that we can't cure him.

The blood test from yesterday?

Yes.

God!

His paternal uncle too?

Nothing kid, it's a bit spicy for me.

Eat.

Is it a bit spicy for you too?

Your father is a better man than me.

And you seem to be better than him.

Uncle.

Do you desire to do anything?

No.

Give me some money if you have.

Here.

We must show absolute care towards disabled people.

Take good care of Mani.

Get something for the baby.

-Have you informed him? -No.

But he acts like he knows something.

Why give money to me?

I won't be needing it.

You will need it, Chinnasamy.

I don't want this, Lakshmana.

Keep it.

Uncle.

I will go to the bank on Monday...

and give you all the money I have.

Give it to whoever you like.

I will not be alive till then, kid.

They say that, I was born one minute after your dad.

In that case, I must have died a minute after he died.

I guess,

my soul wished...

to eat from your hands, and die in the native village.

Don't say such things, uncle.

Don't change yourself, son.

-Why hasn't anybody shown up? -I don't know, doctor.

Alright, lock it up.

Muruga.

What happened?

What do you care about it?

You promised Raman uncle that you will stay in the hospital until he recovers.

We know that you will leave when you hear news about his death.

So, without informing anyone, we took 10 men and buried him.

We brought his twin brother Lakshman and presented him as Raman to you.

Now he has passed away too.

Nothing can stop you now.

-Muruga, stop blathering. -You be quiet.

You will leave the village soon. No body can save us anymore.

-We tried very hard to bring you here. -Close his mouth and drag him away.

-Come here. Stay quiet. -Hey!

There is no point in staying quiet anymore.

Doctor...

The villager's have buried Maari's uncle.

They are here to see you now.

Last night, the tiger got caught in the trap.

The forest guard are here to take it away.

You may sleep peacefully, hereafter.

We came by to tell you the news.

-Sir, you may leave. -Okay.

Thank you so much.

Before coming to this village,

hills to me where just waterfalls, animals, greenery and resorts.

That was my opinion.

But after meeting you all.

I was shocked.

Not only to me...

Not many of us know about you or your lifestyle.

Maari,

unlike you, I don't live for the happiness of others.

I am an ordinary girl.

I have only prioritized my happiness.

Even if I wanted to,

I can't live here.

My parents are looking for a groom to get me married.

Whichever country he is from,

I will move in with him.

To make me stay here,

please don't hurt yourself.

When I leave this village,

don't make me feel guilty.

Please.

Maari, did you hear what our doctor said?

Whichever place her fiance is from,

she will move in with him.

There are so many youngsters in our village.

Why can't one of them marry the doctor?

-He is back at it. -If that happens,

she will continue to stay in our village.

Look,

let's keep trying until the very end.

After that, it is Lord Karuppu's will.

-The Chief is right. -See, even Perumal agrees.

Take care of it.

He gave a stupid idea,

and walks so proudly.

One more important thing,

don't ever think that he could be the groom.

He won't be a suitable match.

He would take doctor to Chennai and turn her into a coffee chef.

He has no care about this village.

Make your own decisions. Ignore this buffalo.

He won't prosper. Manage it yourself.

Yogi...

do you think doctor will marry someone from our village?

Not in our wildest dreams.

If she falls in love, she will marry, right?

But she has to fall in love, right?

What is the requirement for love?

A good face at bare minimum.

A good face?

One of Velan's son...

works at a hotel in Salem.

Arukani's son, is another choice.

Ilupuli's younger brother.

And the younger son of Kumarasangu.

These people have better faces.

Since the day I came here, you people executed some lame ideas.

They worked out to some extent.

But this idea looks pathetic.

You don't realise the power of our Chief.

He rules the entire mountain by himself.

His word is always right.

Are these the five good looking faces you told about?

Yes. How is it?

I was mocking him and he is feeling proud for it.

Brother,

You called us and we are here. Let's say we can make the doctor fall in love,

but if we continue to stay here, we'll lose our jobs.

Dear kid, I admire your confidence.

His question is legitimate.

Whoever wins the heart of doctor and marries her...

I shall gift them two acres of my land.

Really, two acres for these mediocre faces?

I wonder who is fortunate.

Since she is a doctor,

I don't know how to make her fall in love.

But, if you could help us, we shall follow your steps.

-You want Maari to be a mediator, is it? -Hey!

If he does everything for you, what will you people do?

Be quiet.

Don't you worry, we shall seek advice from our Chief.

He knows everything.

If he is an expert in love, why is he single even decades after my mom died.

-You didn’t get it, right? -Yes.

That is why you people receive rain.

Did you see how brilliant his suggestion was?

Yes, I never expected my father to be such a romantic.

Okay, dear.

-Oh God! -Help us.

-Doctor! -Doctor, please come.

Wait, hold on.

-Maari, what happened? -Hey!

Tell it yourself.

Oh, doctor mam.

Do you remember when Soman fell from a tree?

From the same tree,

at the same time,

he too fell down.

He is unconscious.

-Go and fetch me that bench. -Hurry.

Maari, my father's idea seems to work out.

The doctor will blow into him,

and she will terribly fall in love with him.

-Come on, quick. -Coming.

-Get back everybody -Go back. Go back.

Go back. Get back.

Maari, lie down on the bench.

-He was the one who fell. -Come, lie down.

Yogi, go and stand there.

Lie down.

Everybody, come closer.

-Doctor is asking you to come closer. -Listen to me carefully.

When someone is hurt from a fall or turns unconscious after drowning,

you must give them first-aid before taking them to the hospital.

First-aid is first step of treatment.

Keep the left hand over the patient's chest.

Yogi, do it.

-Keep it. -Where should I place it?

-Keep your right hand over it. -Like this?

Keep pushing, like this.

-Do I push, doctor. -Push it harder.

I wonder if he worked in a coffee shop or a mechanic shop.

Damn, he pushes hard.

Did you do it? Now, tightly hold the nose.

-I did it, doctor. -Not yours, his nose.

-Press it firmly. -His nose?

Then, open the mouth wide.

I did it.

Keep your mouth over his mouth and blow air into it.

Do it.

Doctor, his breath stinks.

-Blow the air. -Do it.

Looks easy to you, is it?

Everybody, look closely.

We expected something but something else is happening..

-Do it -Doctor.

-All I feel is air. -That's right, do it.

That's why we blow into them. Everybody look closely.

I lost my life trying to save him.

Listen, this is first aid.

When you encounter an accident, before you take them to the hospital...

you must do the first aid yourself. Do you all get it?

-Yes, doctor. -Are you alright?

-Yogi, take them. -Take him with you.

-Won't you brush properly? -Won't you do it?

No wonder we hail from the same place.

-Uncle! -The show is over, leave now.

There is an emergency case. I can't come now.

Uncle asked you to come immediately.

-Leave the car, I shall come by myself. -Everyone have arrived, so hurry.

-Doctor, I am scared. -Did you give the injection?

Please wait outside. I shall take care.

Please stay out.

-Go and fill the OP sheet. -Okay doctor.

-What happened? -I don't know.

There was blood in his stool, he fainted all of a sudden.

The doctor is checking him.

Alright, don't cry.

No, Kandasamy's son died the same way.

That is why I am scared.

We didn't have a doctor in our village then. But now, we do.

But the car is here to take her away.

What do we do?

Uncle will take care of it. Go, give the tea.

Spray the perfume.

He believes in you and you believe in him.

The village believes in both of you. Let me see your next move.

-What happened? -Maari

Maari, told us all that...

Ask her, 'Shall I call you Shobana?'

If she agrees to it,

give her the flower.

If she accepts the flower with a smile,

tell her, 'I love you'

If she replies,

'are you worthy enough to love me?'

If she stares at you to assert the question.

I am sure she will stare at you.

To which you say, 'I am not worthy to love you'

'but I have a reason'

'If you love me, '

'you will marry me. '

'If you marry me, '

'you would stay in this village'

'If you live in this village'

'pregnant women'

'will not die'

'Without even knowing the ailment... '

'kids of age ten, five... '

'and three... '

'will not die in vain'

'The way Mani lost his leg, '

'will never happen again'

'But if someone from America, '

'becomes your husband, and if you leave with him'

'many doctors have left this place before you, '

'and you will also become one of them'

'But... '

'if you become the daughter-in-law of this village, '

'things will be different'

'We will revere you like our native God. '

'God.. If you continue to stay with us... '

'one hour.... thirty minutes.... even'

'five minutes delay of treatment in a hospital... '

'lives lost due to the delay... '

'if you stay here, we won't continue to lose lives. '

'Hence, '

'I asked if you would marry me. '

'I know this is way beyond my imagination. '

'But this is the only way that I know'

'Please forgive me, if I am wrong. '

'If you ask me to acquire some qualification to do it, '

'not only me, my entire village will do it. '

Try saying this to her.

I was under the impression that this was another lame effort from you.

After hearing you speak, I believe in you now.

If the doctor really had a conscience,

she will become a bride in our village.

Maari...

Come here.

Someone go and inform my father.

Do you know how to drive a car?

-What happened? -We are leaving.

-Doctor, please don't leave -Doctor.

We lost it all.

Why are you so late? Come up.

I have kept all your dresses ready.

Why is your mom so angry?

So many workers?

-Security, who is that guy? -I will check, sir.

Hey, lungi.

Who are you?

Who are you?

-Maari. -Maari who?

The guy from the movie?

Go, get out.

-Get out. -Stop, he is my friend.

He is from the village where Shobana works.

He is a big shot in his place.

-Sorry, sir. -You come in.

Come.

-Uncle. -Come in, nephew.

Collector, sir. You, here?

This is my house.

He is Shobana's dad.

Hey nephew, say that she is my daughter.

So...

Is my daughter working fine?

Yes, sir.

My nephew had some good words about you.

Him and I gobbled all the fruits you gave.

-Did you drive the car? -Yes, sir.

Did you bring any extra clothes?

No, sir.

It's alright.

Do we take spare clothes to our relative's house?

We will pick a dress that fits us and wear it.

-Nephew. -Uncle.

Take him inside.

Make him wear his favourite outfit and bring him to the event.

Okay, uncle.

My uncle is a gem of a person.

We are not close relatives. He is my distant uncle.

He used to say that he made Shobana a doctor to serve our people.

Change your attitude, or else people won't respect you.

Aunty keeps talking about foreign job and foreign groom.

One more thing.

Shobana and her mom tried hard to get her transferred from your village.

But uncle, he is a Collector.

He withheld her transfer and asked her to serve the poor until she goes abroad.

What is this event?

Look over there.

You see that white guy?

Shobana is getting engaged with him today.

"Make an effort"

"Both should come together"

"And live together"

"Don't get dull; don't fell down"

"This world is a fun place, make your play in it"

"Don't shake in fear; Don't break in life"

"You live only once; live the ultimate life"

"Happy! Got you single like a fairy tale"

"Happy! I got you dancing to the rhythm"

"Happy! Got you single like a fairy tale"

"Happy! I got you dancing to the rhythm"

"Happy! Got you single like a fairy tale"

"Happy! I got you dancing to the rhythm"

"Happy! Got you single like a fairy tale"

"Happy! I got you dancing to the rhythm"

"Happy! Got you single like a fairy tale"

What is it, dear? Are you mad at me?

Work there until marriage preparations are done.

-We can resign after that. -Okay.

I will call you later, dad.

Hello.

Sister.

Maari...

My son is sick from yesterday. His old sickness has returned.

Don't cry, I will put the doctor on line.

Doctor mam.

My son has been defecating blood again since last night.

His eyes are rolling up.

Don't be scared, give him the tablets I gave.

Don't give more than one; it's a powerful tablet.

-Okay, mam. -Go, give it.

Where did I keep it?

-It's not here too. -Check there.

Oh God!

Doctor mam.

The tablet is not in the house.

Go to the hospital and get the tablet from the nurse.

When you left, the nurse went on a leave too.

Please come soon, mam.

Don't panic. I will be there soon.

God, why are you tormenting my son?

Open your eyes and see me, my dear.

-Shobana, what will I do? -Walk.

Doctor. Please save my son.

Save him, doctor.

The doctor has come, dear.

You are alright, my dear.

Doctor, my son can be saved, right?

-Tell me. -He is staying motionless doctor.

Is my son alright?

God!

Doctor, if you had been here, you could have saved my son.

Oh God!

My dear...

He left us.

Maari...

She ate the tablets I gave to the boy.

Danger! We must immediately take her to the hospital.

My daughter...

At least save my daughter, doctor mam.

Save my child, doctor.

We're running out of time.

They are calling you to conduct your son's rituals.

God!

Let's go, brother.

-What will I do? -My child...

What did I do to deserve this?

My son is gone.

My son.

You will live for a thousand years, mam.

Shobana, I have a surprise for you.

-What is it? -Come in.

Look at these things. Sofa,

bed, cupboard,

And see, they changed it to western toilet.

Awesome, ain't it?

But what is the use? We'll be out in a couple of days.

Uncle, our doctor got engaged to a foreign groom.

She will leave our village.

The Collector who came to our village is her dad.

Since no doctor was willing to come to our hospital,

he sent his own daughter.

My child is alive only because of the doctor.

What will we do if she leaves us?

The doctor said that we are weak.

She said that we must take tablets every month for a safe child birth.

If she leaves our village, who will prescribe us the tablets?

Lord Karuppa!

Stop crying. You are carrying a child. So, quiet down.

Quiet down.

I am saying it again.

Doctor mam will not leave us. My instinct says so.

So, you all need not worry.

She'll not go anywhere; she'll be here.

Be silent.

-Maari. -Uncle?

Lord Karuppasamy is with us.

She will not go anywhere; she will be with us.

Okay.

Greetings, mam.

You have a parcel.

-Did you see the invitation? -Yes, dad.

It's look great.

Is it enough for you?

Yes, this is enough.

Once the invitations are distributed, I'll come. Bye.

Maari.

Once my duty is over, we have to give invitation to everyone.

You both keep yourselves free.

Sorry doctor, my mom asked me to come home.

So, I went.

If you want a leave, you must write a letter and inform me. Got it?

Okay, doctor.

-The reception is in a foreign country. -You mean abroad?

Great.

What? It's completely in English?

I can't read this.

Sorry.

It's alright.

If you move abroad,

you will earn all the respect, money and glory.

Because all the doctors abroad are no good.

Doctors in foreign are no good?

Oh yes.

It's because of them we lost three of our leaders.

We sent one leader abroad in 1968 for treatment.

They sent back only...

Then in 1984...

another leader went abroad for medical treatment.

He came back and within a few days...

In 2016, doctors from abroad came down to treat another leader.

And that leader also...

There is one more person,

the one who writes songs... He has a good title...

Yes, 'The poet of the poets'

"The blue sky told the soft moon"

"don't you ever touch me"

He wrote such beautiful songs. He went abroad to get treated.

He also returned as a...

But you are not like them.

We had someone who was as good as dead.

We brought him to you...

and you gave him life.

Listen,

no matter where you go, you will succeed.

You have the blessings of this Kolli hills.

You will keep on reaching greater heights.

Go on now.

We will always pray for your well being.

See you, take care.

Doctor...

I got my transfer order.

My parents are here to take me home.

We lost the doctor itself,

why are you feeling bad for the nurse?

-Take care -Thank you, doctor.

Tom Yum soup, one by two.

There is no hotel nearby, where did you get this from?

Didn't Maari promise you that day?

That we shall learn to make whatever you ask for.

So he got me a work in a hotel in Namakkal.

And I learnt to make all these dishes.

This is green salad. This is mixed kadai vegetables.

This is phulka.

Tell me your menu for tomorrow. I shall make it for you.

-Menu? -Yes.

It's all steamed food. Only the name differs.

Isn't it nice?

Let me know if you like anything else.

I shall learn to make it for you.

Why are you crying dear?

I have reduced the spices, is it still spicy?

No...

This is something else.

Anyway, he'll come to guard our house in sometime,

can't you give this to him then?

I took Maari along with me to give invitation to everyone.

But I forgot to invite him.

Giving the invite at his house is the respectable thing to do.

Do you think any of them will attend?

Why are you doing this useless thing?

-Doctor... -Grandma, silent.

To make the doctor to like us and our hospital,

our Chief called me and gave the responsibility.

My father's last wish...

was, 'don't let the doctor leave this village'

But I couldn't keep the promise.

Please forgive me.

Why do you cry, dear?

You feared that the doctor may hate us because of our smell.

You even made us wear perfume.

These days, men don't even help their wife and kids.

But when the doctor asked for a tea shop,

you built a tea shop in a desolate place.

To the guy who can love, marry, and make her stay here,

you promised to gift two acres of land.

You have done everything to help this village.

All of us, dropped all our jobs,

to make the doctor stay in our village.

We were at the hospital all day.

What else can we do?

Let's pray to our Lord Karuppan...

and carry on with our jobs.

Maari, what do you say?

The doctor is a kind person.

It's because of her,

Soman, who fell from the tree, is alive today.

Navamani gave birth without any complications.

She saved the life of Malarkodi's daughter.

Only after visiting her place did I realise,

all our village combined...

will not be equal to her house.

She had lived a luxurious life. But, she left all that luxury

and stayed at the place we gave her,

she ate whatever we served her...

and treated us well despite everything.

It's because she has the heart of a God.

Until she leaves the village,

let's bury our sorrows within ourselves.

We shall send her off happily.

Forgive me Yogi.

I held you back and didn't let you open a coffee shop in Chennai.

Tomorrow, when doctor leaves...

make her tea for one last time...

and leave to Chennai.

Maari, forget it.

You did so much for the sake of village.

I feel bad that I didn’t' help much despite being Chief's son.

What is that thing that's held for the doctor in America?

Reception.

For the event...

on behalf of our village, let's gift five bags of rice...

50 banana bunches,

100 jack fruits,

200 pineapples,

300 coconuts,

500 lemons,

and banana leaves enough to serve 1000 members,

and 30 honey bottles. We have decided to send these to America.

Is it okay with you all?

-Yes, we agree. -Yes.

Maari, aren't you going to the doctor's house to guard at night?

Yes, I do.

Enough with the confusion.

Let's leave tomorrow.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Don't cry.

Haven't we decided not to display sorrow before the doctor?

Why are you all crying then?

For all the love that you showed me so far...

I Thank you.

I am leaving...

I am leaving.

Love never expects thanks.

Why do you say 'I am leaving'? Say, 'See you'.

Not as a doctor...

But as a commoner, you may come here anytime along with your husband.

See you. See you.

Maari...

You are a kind person.

You consider the whole village...

as your home.

I like you very much.

This is my invitation.

Maari...

The books you bought for your sister...

shall I take one book from it?

Everyone stay here. Let her bring it.

Stay here.

The last tea, doctor.

Please forgive us if we had hurt you in anyway.

There is nothing as such.

The best part of my life is...

when I started duty in this hospital,

to this very moment.

I didn't know that...

people would get married,

to make me happy.

People will go for walking,

just because I liked it.

People would start a tea shop,

just for me to have some tea.

I didn't know that a entire village strived hard for my sake.

I didn't know.

Even my parents...

weren't like this.

My fiance?

I don't know if he will be the same as you.

The children I would give birth to...

won't be like this.

But you people...

took care of everything for me.

I was oblivious to all these.

Thank you all.

Please name my child, doctor mam.

Please ask some elders to do it.

No, mam.

If you hadn't asked me to go to the hospital on time,

the doctor told me that only one of us would have survived.

You are the reason we both are alive today.

You have to name the child.

She will live for a hundred years.

She must live with a identity that you give her.

She must share the story with her children...

that there was once a doctor in our hospital...

and that she named me.

Please do it.

Muthulakshmi (Name of the first woman doctor of South India)

Father, I have loaded everything on the lorry.

Mam.

This is a small gift for your marriage on behalf of our village.

Please accept it.

Go with the doctor and unload all of the gifts at her house.

-Got it? -Yes, father.

I swear, the clouds rain only because of people like you.

Please don't change your good heart.

All of you, get your kids and go back home.

If we fall sick, we don't have a doctor to treat us anymore.

Go on. Move.

Go on.

If the doctor likes you and your village...

she might stay there and continue to work.

If she leaves the hospital...

there is nothing I can do.

Nor could the Government.

Though all our efforts went in vain,

we will never give up hope.

Next, we'll make Muthulakshmi a doctor.

And the day she becomes a doctor, we'll break the lock and open this hospital!
