All language subtitles for Nanban Oruvan Vandhaa Piragu 2024_track3_[eng]

'In our lives, to all of us'

'Our birth place
Our childhood days'

'Our neighborhood
They are so special'

'Instead of being mere places
they evolve as our entire life'

'The bonds we develop'

'Our long wish list
with dreams to come true'

'Our feelings of joy, sorrow, rage'

'Why...even our love'

'And beyond all these factors
the friends we make'

'It depends on the area we live
in these growing years'

'But we never know their importance
when friends are part of our daily life'

'Only when distance separates us
we realize the value of childhood ties'

'Your friends scattered in
different corners of the world'

'Having forgotten the long lost wish
of doing things together, with same vibes'

'We move with the (s)pace life takes us
yearning for our dreams to come true'

'Remember your friendly neighbor
A face you can always recollect'

"When a friend walks into your life
your wings can touch the sky; no strife"

"Even the sky has a limit
But friendship is beyond it"

'After A Friend Walked In'

"Only ship that never sinks
is friendship"

'Hello'

'Excuse me, bro'

'Brother, that's my seat'

'29 A'

- No, it's okay
- Sorry, sir

Please sit

Bro, want a chocolate?

No, sir
It's alright

Please take, I bought for
my daughters, I have plenty more

Please have it

- Thank you, sir
- You're welcome

Are you wondering why I prefer
a window seat despite my age?

Right from childhood
this was a constant wish of mine

Similarly when I play cricket

I had this obsession to bag
the center pitch in our ground

And also...er-

When I booze, I love listening
to Maestro Ilaiyaraja's soulful melodies

Such moments give me
a rush of adrenalin

True, sir

Oh!

- Are you A.R.Rahman's fan?
- Yes, sir

But I like Ilaiyaraja too

It's okay, why do you cover up?

Is this a novel?

Actually my friends and family

They gifted this to me, sir

- Oh!
- When I left my hometown

Like a slam book
they added their autographs

My life is embedded in here, sir

Then it is your 'story'

You could say that too, sir
But it isn't my story alone, sir

It is a slice of all of us

Then it is a story of friendship

Maybe if I turn back the pages

Like you said

Maybe I will rediscover the adrenalin rush
moments that gave me a 'kick'

Very true...very true

'This is All India Radio'

'The next song brought to you'

'By debut music director A.R.Rahman'

'Chapter: Chinna Chinna Aasai'
[Teeny-weeny Wishes]

'His entry into the music world
coincided with my entry on this earth'

[baby crying]

'That's the reason this song echoes
in my heart throughout my life'

'My precious bundle of joy'

'Anand'

'Anand'

'Anand'

Hey Anand

- Come on

You go, I'll take care of Anand

'My grandma is my first best friend'

'She made me bunk school
Do you know where she took me?'

Come soon
Hurry up

'The first ever film
I watched in a theater'

Super Star's film

'I can never forget that day'

'Super Star!'

'My way is an unique way'

Don't mess with me

Anand, why aren't you studying?
Bad enough you are an average student

'How will you fare well
in 10th and 12th grade exams?

You are to blame, ma
You spoil him rotten

Don't nag him, we can handle
all that when he grows up

Everyone here is stubborn
in getting their own way

What a shot!

Cut in an inswing ball

That's Sachin for you!

Sumathi, give me 'murukku'

'My dad got his promotion
the very next year'

'Double promotion'

[baby wailing]

Thank God

where the cool breeze wafted by'

Our new home sweet home'

Pipsqueak!

Dare to win!

Hey new kiddo!

What do you want?
Like to eat cob on the corn?

What do you want then?

I want to play

That's all?

Hey Adhi, add him to your gang

'I thought I was
part of a soooper gang'

'Except me, everyone

Shall we just give them a walk over?

Can't you be positive?

We have one more hand, no?

Let's wait and watch

Anand

You are our last hope
Play carefully

The Rock, Biceps 28, Clash

'All our neighbors will gather over there
to celebrate Colony Day'

'Welcome to Anandam Colony Day'

'A combined effort'

'Of song and dance'

'Altogether a feast-treat day'

'They will have the time of their lives!'

'Only happiness will reign supreme'

'Didn't I say this place
is heaven to me?'

'These friends were my boon
and blessing in that paradise on earth'

'Our house however was cramped'

'But that colony gave me
limitless moments of love and joy'

'I remember even now so vividly
all those small memorable moments'

'All of us grew up together
having a jolly time'

'Chapter: Perched on the small brick wall'

'Not only for our cricketers'

'For us too'

'Our 2 gangs always waged world wars'

'No earth-shattering reason'

'Childhood feud'

'If they are from 'C' section'

'We belong to 'A' section'

'If 'idli' is the term
that suits us best'

'They are 'roti'
as in Northies'

'If we are 'Marvel' comics'

'They are just DC!'

'If we are Super Star'

'They are Shah Rukh'

'If we are CSK'

'They belong to Mumbai cricket team'

Face-off!

Sure-shot fight

Strike a hard blow!

Bash him black and blue

Punch him hard

Knock him out

Punch him to a pulp!

'Our playground fights continued
in House competition in school too'

'Dear Principal, respected teachers

'Welcome to St John's Matriculation
Higher Secondary School'

'Intra School House Competition 2010'

- Challenge?

Next is the Jam event
you've been eagerly waiting for'

'Adhi from Yellow House'

That's why I say,
family like friends

And friends like family
life will be beautiful

As always love being here on stage

This is Adhi signing out

Peace out
Love you all

I love you more

'This event will decide the winner'

'Can you guess the event?'

Our favorite

'Become a STAR!'

'On to the stage now,
Lalith from Blue House'

[song from 'Om Shanthi Om']

'What the heck is he singing, dude?'

"She robbed my eyes of sleeplessness
She filled my heart with restlessness"

"I feel lost and helpless somehow
Whom should I explain all this now?"

'That was a wonderful performance
by Lalith From Blue House'

'As Shah Rukh Khan'

'Before going on to the next participant'

'Let's break for lunch'

'At that time, we faced a twist
none of us expected'

What happened, sir?

Next event
'Become a Star event'

What is the problem?
We have our Michael Jackson!

Principal and Head Master want those
who haven't participated to do so in this

In that case

Anand

I've given your name

'Gone case'

'All gone down the drain'

They will crucify us

Instead of packing him off to his grave
we are heading to the cemetery! HEY!

What are you doing with the girls there?

Aishu, you carry on

Hey Anand

As if you can't excel?

Hey! No chance

'Shut up and
stop kidding'

No chance in hell or heaven

'What crap!?'

Don't you enact in front of us
and the mirror 24x7?

Go get them, da

Hey! My act in front of you
and the mirror

This is a different ball game

'You don't know'

Dude

Stage

Audience

I'll die of fright, da

Please don't compel me, da

Dude, listening to him
I've lost what little hope I had

Listen to me
Let's give a walk over

- True that
- Our dignity will be intact

Why are you always negative?

Like a half baked idiot

Dude, leave him alone

First time in our life we've got
a chance to defeat Blue House, dude

The ball is once again
in your hands now

Get in and ace it, dude

Hey! Why are you hesitating?

We are not giving you a choice

You are doing it

'This event will decide the winner'

'Guess the event?'

'Become a STAR'

[dialog from 'Annamalai']

Ace it, dude

'Dude'

'Stage'

'Audience'

God...no!

'I'll die of fright, da'

'Anand...Anand'

'Hey! Why are you hesitating?'

'We are not giving you a choice'

'You are doing it'

'Jump over red earth
Enjoy length and breadth'

'Cross all hurdles, lass and lassie
Lick them hollow, kick them crazy'

Get up, dude

'Jump over red earth
Enjoy length and breadth'

'The over all trophy goes to Blue House'

Give a big applause to
Lalith and team

Thank you, sir

'After that shameful
episode'

'I made up my mind
not to set eyes on Lalith'

'My school life too came to an end
along with our Board exams'

- Role # 28
- Hey! He's calling you

- Come here, child
- Me?

[guessing the number game]

What have you written, huh?

Extend your hand

- 1 minute
- Dude...let me do it

Acting over smart?

- 6
- Look at that

- 3
- Yes!

Waste of a ruler on you!

What is it?

Wait
Dude

'Go on, add the marks
This fool of a teacher will sign'

'I forged his marks
and made him pass'

'But my result...!'

'Preethi who stood first in
the XII standard Board exams-'

Yes!

'I must speak my heart out now'

Appa

I need to tell you something

I've been wanting to
for quite some time

But if I don't say it now
I won't get another chance, pa

I don't want to do this course, pa

When I go with my friends

To the theater

If I like a scene very much

If I can relate to it

I'll feel like a hero
for a second, pa

I've rehearsed so often
in front of the mirror in my room, pa

Right from when I was young

It was my favorite pastime, pa

I love this tinsel world, pa

Pccht!

Magic

I have a load of wishes to be fulfilled, pa

But

But a cartload of fear tags along

When I'm on the stage and
I see the crowd sitting in front

I tremble head to toe

That...appa

You know VisCom
Visual Communication

If I can join that course

We are taught only this
Different aspects of film making, pa

I can then get a job...in Media, pa

You know Loyola College?

Super college, pa

Close to home

Travel time is only 20 minutes

This college is so far away, pa

You know our 'Thalapathy'

Vijay

He is an alumnus of that college, pa

Many other celebs too

You know our Adhi?

He has also applied in Loyola

He just told me

That's why

VisCom

- Let's go eat
- Huh?

Let's have lunch

Let's go and eat

Anna, come

Do you know how much
I love watching a cricket match?

As if I don't know

You'll be back home in time
to watch the match

We will have such a jolly time

If I had taken cricket as my profession
I would've been even more jolly

Like how you got excited
seeing that Cinema section

Not a day goes by without me
getting excited about the Sports section

In my childhood days

Not a day passed
without my name being featured

For the 1984 Ranji Trophy cricket team

I was selected
as a fast bowler

I was so thrilled
my dream will come true

There's no point in a man
without money dreaming

I neglected my studies assuming
the cricket ground was my life

Education is a 'must' for
the common man to make ends meet

I realized it too late

You often tell me
you like our home, no?

Will it be 1/4 that basket ball court?

Half my life whizzed past
for me to own our home

I'm still running the marathon of life

You shouldn't repeat the mistake I did
That's why I'm telling you this

Education is be all and end all of life

First study

Then follow any dream of yours

In case you fall down

Your degree will help you
pick yourself up

Then it's up to you, son

'The dad I always look up to'

'He came down to my level
and shared his past with me'

'After that, big eff to my dreams!'

'I was ready to jump
into any bloody well'

'But'

'I did not know about the well then!'

[excerpt from 'Chandramukhi']

'A problem definitely exists here'

Welcome to Sri Muthulakshmi
Engineering College

What is this, bro?

'You can see 1st floor
2nd floor will soon be built'

Reality is so different
from this brochure

- When will they finish building?
- As you pay, so they shall build!

It will be done before you pass out

Don't worry

Funny...so funny!

'Bless you, PA!'

Will you have an 'idli'?

You call this 'idli'?!

Bro, what is this?
'Pongal' or brick?

You'll tell me once you taste it, bro

You tasted only our 'pongal'
Not tried the 'poori' yet!

'Funny, too funny!'

Appa, damn you!

Bro, what is this?

This place is so empty

Bro, I was told when I attend college
girls will be flocking around

Also a gang, anna

Not a gang
Meet my gang

- Want some peanuts?
- I'm not such a nut! all yours

Thangu, share a joke with us

Do you know why
we catch a cold via the nose?

- Why?
- 'Eyes' are close to the nose

'Funny, too funny!'

'Kalakka Povadhu Yaaru?'

[Reality show]

Then this college doesn't have
anything proper in place?

Why not?
Look over there

'Your Head of the Department'

'You can assume
you've got a good friend'

Hi all

Hi, maam

I am Maya

I head CSE department

Not only this

I'm your class teacher
for the next 4 years

Whether you like it or not
you're stuck with me

Bro, what's her name?
She looks soooper!

She's my girl scoot!

Okay

- Is this college a bit unusual?
- Yes, ma'am

Yes, ma'am

I felt the same way too

Another 4 years

Exams, practicals

Record notes, arrears for some of you

You get memorable moments only rarely

Shall we start today
on one such note?

If you are okay
we are ready, ma'am

Let's start

'Again the place I was in gave me
a chance to make new friends'

'My small circle extended its diameter
From colony, school, to college now'

'My happiness too multiplied'

'Chapter: Kalluri Saalai'
[College Road]

- 138?
- Ma'am, Vidya

- '140?'
- Srikanth, ma'am

- '143?'
- Ma'am, 143, Karthi

Karthi, 143
Okay, ma'am?

Okay, Karthi, sit

My name would have got registered?
You bet, it has to before graduation

'Ma'am, you didn't call out 153'

Maybe she'll come later

'Are you new love-birds?
A nostalgic song for your ears only'

Enjoy your juice slowly and come
I'm picking up 2 students at your stop

Which guy will go to
that college other than poor me?

It isn't a guy
Picking up a girl

- Girl, huh?
- New girl admission

Bro, that new tenant
in K block, right?

Yes

Yes, Anand, they moved in yesterday
I helped to unload their stuff

Her father works in Delhi it seems

Only the mother and daughter came

Tamil girl

But don't remember her name

I'll tell you

Kannamma

[song composed by A.R.Rahman]

'My favorite Rahman sir's songs
which kept echoing within me paused'

'First time, I heard a song
in tune with my heart beat'

"Love runs bemused
Hither and thither confused"

"Slightly I must confess
In search of your address"

"Sari flutters in the wind"

"Flowers wilt shy and blushin"

"Just once, please look at me"

"My heart will shift to you joyously"

"A life never lived before so rapturously"

"She waltzed, she gifted crystal clear
My entire being she uplifted, my dear!"

"Laden with a lamp on a platter
The love of my life, I welcome her"

"With her kohl-lined eyes enchanting
Swinging her hands she walked enticing"

"My love-list, one by one precious
you made my eyes visualize victorious"

"My mind swirlin' and twirlin'
like a giant wheel within"

"I invite her, laden with a lamp aglow
Welcome to my life with a golden halo"

"With her kohl-lined eyes enchanting
Swinging her hands she walked enticing"

- 153
- Me, Kannamma

"My wish list in heaps, individually
you made my eyes tick them truly"

"My mind swirlin' and twirlin'
like a Ferris wheel within"

"All I want is you, my love so true
I don't need anyone else but you"

"Shall I give you my affection
blossoming as love-extension?"

"If you walk past me in a saree
I'll lie at your feet in awestruck glory"

"Shall I hold your pleats lovingly?"

"I was a 'night' in abject misery
without a dawn in my story?"

"She changed my life in a jiffy
shining her beacon of light on me"

"I was a 'night' in abject misery
without a dawn in my story?"

"She changed my life in a jiffy
shining her beacon of light on me"

"Is this feeling called love by all?
You tell me, my darling doll"

"Laden with a lamp on a platter
The love of my life, I welcome her"

"With her kohl-lined eyes enchanting
Swinging her hands she walked enticing"

"My love-list, one by one precious
you made my eyes visualize victorious"

"My mind swirlin' and twirlin'
like a giant wheel within"

'Guys, do your seminar well'

'It's very important for your IV trip'

- Good job, girls
- Thanks, everyone

They will readily clap for the girls
Super...super!

Thank you, sir

- Thank you
- 'Next batch'

'All the best'

- Hello...hello
- 'That's Mr Chubby Cheeks!'

Start

He'll start

Vanakkam, ma'am

Good morning

Good morning, external professor Eknath sir

Hi classmate buddies

- Hey!
- What are you doing?

He will start perfectly, ma'am

Start

Ma'am, after him

'Hey! What is this?'

Playing the fool?

Anand, start

I'm talking to you, start

Don't waste my time

Come

- Pen drive?
- You have it, give

Here, ma'am

'Ma'am'

Pen drive maybe a bit loose

'Hey! Shut up'

If you nudge with your thumb
project will be perfect

So you are ready with your project
Why didn't you present it?

Ma'am, you are asking us
with such dignity and privacy

If you had asked me like this
I would've presented it for sure, ma'am

But a jam-packed room
Entire class was present

Seminar, Viva, external professor

Keep quiet!

Ma'am, now you know we did
the project, please ensure we pass

If you do so, he can leave
for the Industrial Visit

Then, sir, list out
all that I have to do

'Listen'

I know what to do

True, ma'am, you are
our inspiration for this project

What, da?

How long will you continue to
take attendance for 15 minutes?

'Instead we can use
biometrics index'

Log in the attendance,
update and proceed

That's why we got an idea
to make an app for attendance

So, Anand, you got this idea
from the daily activities in your life

When you have done such a good job
why be scared to present it?

'The beauty is to think of
such an intelligent idea'

Greatest things are always
simplest things, Anand

'Don't let go at any point in time
I'll be always there to support you'

Ma'am?

'This I.V
Shall we?'

I will do something

'Go, register your name'

Ma'am, seriously?

Go have fun

- Ma'am
- She said 'yes'

Thank you, ma'am

Karthi

You're going for I.V
Remember your limit

To maintain discipline
amongst the students

That's my responsibility

[song from 'Kuththu']

"Shall I dance in this spirit of festivity
with Lord Shiva and Shakti"

"Hey! Hit on this dove
Coming your way now"

"Bay of Bengal's shrimp-lassie
Bait her without hesitancy"

"Hit on her head to heel
Rock it, tell her how you feel"

Give me some more

Why hasn't she come?

Travel doesn't agree with her

She's feeling sick
That's why didn't want dinner

We'll check on her later, you eat

Hey! What happened?

I spoke to Vidya

She told me you haven't eaten

'Plus she said you are not well'

Amma packed dinner for me

I thought it's more fun
eating with my friends

Eat this, home cooked food

Don't starve and sleep

Take this

Okay, let's eat together

Okay

- Soooper!
- Really?

No one can beat my amma in cooking

I'll tell her, she will be super thrilled

Why should you?
I'll tell her myself

I see your amma daily

- In the morning?
- Hmmm

Actually too much of
a coincidence, no?

- Yes
- Same colony, same college

Totally unexpected

Our colony has awesome vibes

I love the place

College...is a bit of a bore

But

Slowly everything is
getting set into place

'Friends...and then'

You

[ring tone of 'New York Nagaram']

Hello?

Tell me

I'm just eating
You finished your dinner?

Okay

Shall I call you after I reach?

No, I'll call you, okay?

Bye

Love you
Bye bye

[spluttering]

- What happened?
- Food got stuck in my throat

Was that your friend?

Yeah...!

You could say he's my friend

But...that was my dad

Your appa?!

'Thank God'

- Why?
- No

Ring tone
'New York Nagaram'

'Miss you
Love you'

For a second
my heart stopped!

Nothing of that sort

But if I felt like that about someone
I'll definitely tell you, okay?

What?!

- So be it
- I miss my dad a lot

He has come down to Chennai
just 4 times in 3 years!

He means the world to me

Soooper!

Okay, you eat

- Here?
- Why do you eat like a glutton?

I can eat a horse, I came to
make sure you have dinner too

But this is how I eat all the time

It's a habit

Okay, change from now on

Okay, madam
I'll do my best!

You know my 'take' on love?

Both should understand
each other perfectly

Whatever the fight may be
defending your partner

Not just him, but accept his appa, amma,
his friends, family, everyone close to him

Share a sense of belonging
and always be together

Not realizing even a tiny bit
that I am missing my own dad

Like my dad and me
Best friends forever

Always, all ways, lifelong

That togetherness is love

- Anyone wants tea or coffee?
- Ask for oats

- Vidya hasn't come?
- No, dude

Where's your girl?

- Why drag her into this?
- Continue your drama

Hey! Isn't it your hoodie?
Seems to have changed over night

You did this at least
in our IV trip!

Enjoy, have fun

Bro, 1 coffee
Drinkable heat

Coffee and warm enough to drink

How much, bro?

"Come, my dearest"

Thank you

I'll keep this hoodie, okay?

"I am ready too
to profess my love to you"

Come

Hey! Yes!!

"Come, shall we walk together
hands clasped forever?"

"Is my shoulder too far away?"

"Just lean your head and stay"

"If you wave a green flag at me"

"Like the hike in petrol rate wildly
my pulse will also race rapidly"

"Come on, girl"

"If you smile a little"

"Will Whatsapp status validate
'committed' to be my soul mate?"

"In a second can love blossom true?"

"Can it speak a language anew?"

"Will your heart accept it true-blue?"

"Come, my dearest"

"Come, in earnest"

"For your quest"

"Dear, I am ready too
to profess my love to you"

"She said 'okay' to me
Touched my heart totally"

"She composed a new tune today
Celebrated me as hero in every way"

"Her smile so WOW!
Shall I keep as ringtone now?"

"Your smile so WOW!
Shall I keep as ringtone now?"

'Our college took us to
a venture capitalist firm'

'We were asked to write down
our start up ideas'

No need to write anything new

Write whatever you already
have in your mind

'With utmost confidence
for the first time'

'I wrote the idea embedded
in my heart for a long, long time'

Is it okay?

It's simply soooper!

Go and give it to ma'am

'When Kannamma said 'okay'
my friends threw a surprise party'

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

'Kannamma breezed into my small world'

'That I.V trip turned into
the most memorable trip in my life'

"Come and admire the sky at night
A single moon gleaming white"

"Ivory moon single and shining brightly"

"She waned of her own accord naturally"

"Ebony black tresses touching zealously
With your fragrance caressing sensuously"

"I wage a war in my heart deepest
when you blow as a 'musical tempest'"

"When your finger touches me gently
my cheeks yearn for a kiss urgently"

"When you ride pillion on my bike with me
adrenalin kicks in, making me giddy"

"My rusty old bike, believe me,
turns into a chariot automatically"

"Come, my dearest"

Aim at the target and shoot

"Come, in earnest
For your quest"

"Girl, I am ready too
to profess my love to you"

"She said 'okay' to me
Touched my heart totally"

"She composed a new tune today
Celebrated me as hero in every way"

"Her smile so WOW!
Shall I keep as ringtone now?"

"Your smile so WOW!
Shall I keep as ringtone now?"

"Even if God descends soon
to readily grant us a boon"

"Give us a chance we implore
Rewind to college life, once more"

"Even if God descends to earth
to grant us a boon in this birth"

"Give us a chance we implore
Re-live our college days, encore!"

"Rewind to college life, once more"

"Come, my dearest"

It is said the first 'hi' and the first
'bye' are unforgettable moments

On top of it you're my 1st batch

You are sheer torture
I didn't want to say this

But still

I'll be missing you guys

We'll miss you, ma'aaaaaaaam!

'We went to the extent of
not wanting this day to end'

'But our college life came to an end'

'A few spats easily forgiven
Plenty of happy moments'

'Our life was truly colorful'

'I made new bonds
that widened my circle'

'Like Maya ma'am said'

'I had an idea to join hands with everyone
and execute my deep rooted vision'

'All eyes are glued to CSK's performance
this year in Indian Premier League'

We had such jolly times
in our school days, dude

Even if we studied in different colleges
we had a lot of fun together

Suddenly we need to get a job,
earn a proper livelihood

Wearing a tie that almost strangles
our neck and feet-hugging shoes

'Will we also drift apart
like boomer uncles'

If we can wave a magic wand
and stick together, won't it be fun?

Dude

I have an idea

Actually...what idea?

It has been running in my mind
for quite some time

'But I think this is
the right time to start it'

Infinity events, dude

From when I was a kid till today

Why think that far

From when we met till date

We have crossed many events
in our life without even realizing

'Birthdays'

Small surprises

Besides all that

It can be the day
Kannamma and I got together

You and Shaila

Vidya, Srikanth, Karthi

Even the love in our life is an event

All we did was spread
the joy we felt around us

Let us share that happiness
with everyone now, da

We can join together and start
an Event organization company, machi

Actually...explain a bit more clearly

It's very simple

What is an Event organization?

We should host an event
Organizing it from scratch

You know Adhi

Won't he hold the audience captive
once he held the mike in his hand?

Praveen is good with finance

Dude, I'll take care of food

We can ace it

Babu has come in
As good as done

For song and dance, to come up
with special and new ideas

Kannamma, Srikanth, Karthi
Everyone is talented

We can do a super duper job

I feel if all of us join hands
we can truly rock

Huhm

Your idea sounds good

But Event management company
you can find 10 in every street

To surpass the existing companies
what is new to make us stand apart?

I have an ace up my sleeve

Become A Star, dude

'Guess the event?'

'Become a STAR'

Machan?

Become a star, huh?

I don't get it

If I say it, may come as a shock to you

But give it serious thought

Rajesh, suppose we organize a huge event'

'You dance like Michael Jackson
Your favorite hero'

'But instead of just that'

'If I make you dance in stage shows
just like Michael Jackson did?'

'If you can become Michael Jackson?'

'Bingo, dude
Become A Star!'

Actually...that seems doable

In a wedding or a birthday party
if you change into their favorite star

How wonderful that will be!

Everyone will wish that, no?

Even I had a wish like that

But if it comes true
That too on your special day

We can introduce this
as a special feature

Beyond all that, I spoke to ma'am
to even develop this as an app

She encouraged me tremendously

She said if we did this in a huge event
in front of a special gathering

It will work out well

I am doing my research on it

Instead of all of us finding a job
and going our separate ways

We can be united and
focus on the job we love

I know this idea already

He wrote it in our trip
of Industrial Visit

What do you mean
'I think...I think'?

Dude, confirm
This will work in our favor

Think about it

Like 'Thalai' on wedding day
This side, like Thalapathy for birthday

It will be out of this world
And something even more spectacular

'4 friends wanted to be together
and 'Facebook' was born!'

Dude, this is a sure shot hit
100% it will work out

We start, we share,
we work, we win, okay?

'What do you say, da?'

We'll nail it

We can nail it
hammer and tongs!

Our parents will crucify us

When have they not tortured us?

No, actually

Actually you zip your lips!

Our parents will always
bombard us with questions

They asked, 'still not got a job?'
Now it will be, 'what are you doing?'

So be it, we will ask
1 year grace time

'This idea will work out, dude'

Don't be doubtful and grumpy, smile

- Okay, da
- Are you in?

- Done, da
- Loosen yourself

Grease your shoulder blades

And walk with a swagger

- Mental!
- Is the cash tallying?

I'll talk to Baasha anna and be back

- 1 minute, bro
- Okay, give

Here, dude
Plus his contribution

- Hey! We got the domain
- Soooper!

Shouldn't we find an office?

Office? I'll convert
the terrace into an office

"4'o clock on the terrace
Penniless always"

"Chit-chat, timepass
Booze, jolly enmasse"

"City lit-lit fully
Life changes duly"

"All I do is 'kathakali'
So darn naive is he"

"Living in a no-no morrow
Rock and roll on the go"

"Wonder of wonders here
Our Marina beach, my dear"

"When we land up, steady
Kick of a scene, buddy"

Darling?

- Designed the name board?
- I'm just doing it

- 'Focus, all of you
- Vidya, open the design files

Can you change something
if I tell you now?

Don't say you want to change the name

Why is he jinxing it further?

What's so funny?

Correct

Adhi, we got the domain
We've started the social media pages too

Don't confuse in the last minute

I don't understand
Why are all of you getting hyper?

Don't you realize
how important the name is?

Do you know what Baasha anna said
to the name 'Infinity Events'?

Karthi, what did he say?

- He thought it meant 'Fly in ginger tea'
- Heard that?

Dude, how short sighted can they be

Why don't you walk faster?

The name we choose
should be our identity, dude

And we should be remembered
by the name, right?

Name should be etched and
embedded in our hearts

[song from 'Kadhal Desam']

"When a friend walks into your life
your wings can touch the sky; no strife"

"Even the sky has a limit"

Dude, this piece?

- Nailed it!
- Awesome!

'Our good time started
when we fixed the name'

'Chapter: NOVP'
[After A Friend Walked In]

Would you like to have
tea or coffee? What do you want?

All we want is a loan, sir

He'll say 'yes'

New start-up company, eh?

Start-up means new, right, sir?

What does the name
N-O-V-P mean?

Actually, short form, sir

Simply awesome!
Guys, guess what?

We are organizing Gita akka's
child's ear piercing ceremony

Eat...enjoy

- Hi
- Ice cream to you

Come...soooper!

Next, to make you tap your feet
Srikanth and Vidya

You did a great job

Really liked your attention to detail

Bro, my elder brother is getting married

I was so impressed by your website
Song and dance was like watching a movie

We'll feel good if you make us
feel like a hero too

We'll make sure you rock

We'll conduct your brother's wedding
a super hit movie

Won't we?

'Opening was extraordinary'

'Well, MS, you won the toss
What have you decided?'

'We'll bowl first'

'But the problem was me'

Your project seems...very impressive

But-

You lack experience, my dear boy

We don't understand

Don't you?

'You don't have any experience'

'Your app is still in
the developing stage'

'How can I process a loan for you?'

He got out, dude

Shucks!

'Keep this for now, Praveen'

Anand, you said the video of
'Become A Star' is getting ready?

Collect the balance payment
after you deliver that, okay?

'No problem, bro'

'I'll take it after a week'

Sir, we are calling
from NOVP event

'Brother, I agreed to give you this Event
trusting your 'Become A Star' idea'

'When that's ready, call me'

'Don't waste my time, okay?'

'Thank you'

What terrible players, dude

Getting out like dominoes

'Dude, get help from someone and
somehow execute 'Become A Star' idea'

If you want I'll talk to our ma'am
You work on the app and set it up

Correct

Everyone is asking us for it

I already spoke to ma'am

I'll get the help of our senior
and get the app working

'Babu!'

Babu, come home

- Half way through a meeting, I'll come
- Meeting, huh?

You'll get it from me!

'Mummy, keep quiet'

You go, I'll come soon

Your appa wanted me to bring you

'He wants to talk to you about a job
Your uncle has come'

'Such a pain he is!'

'Sitting jobless on the terrace
and chitchatting!'

'Junk of a fellow!
Go down right now'

[Telugu] - 'Come home soon'
- Coming, pa

Dude, 5 minutes

Okay

I'll be back

'My only hope was my senior'

'I thought with his aid
we could crack it somehow'

No way, dude

'Concept is too good'

But with the time on hand

It's practically impossible

Anna

We are trying to get Events
with 'Become A Star' idea as our USP

'Help us somehow, bro'

'You have completed the initial
process, coding and all that'

'But there are many steps for this'

'So many even take a course for this'

'My dream idea that got all of us together'

'Just because I was unable
to execute it properly'

Hey! What are you doing?

Come, so much work to be done

No, dude, let us close
everything to an end here

I don't think all this will work out

I don't get you

I think they don't want to
tell you frankly to your face

So let me break it

My dad has asked me to attend
Amazon Call-in interview

Hey Rajesh

'You want to tell or shall I?'

Dude, actually my dad has
got me a job in CTS

Everyone else wants to secure a job

You go ahead and try
That's best for you too

Dude, we started this with
high hopes in unison, da

Let's not ditch this idea, da

Who doesn't have dreams?

But reality is different
from desires, right?

We don't belong
to Ambani's family, dude

'One year just flew somehow'

Too much pressure from home

Dad says, 'How hard I worked to
educate you, now your turn to earn'

Try to get a job in the Channel

Similarly ask Anand to
pitch for a job too

Only then you'll get a job

I don't know what else to say, dude

He may be left in the lurch all alone

'See you, da'

'Whatever I thought may not happen
just because I think it should'

'This dawned on me only then'

'Like Praveen said,
NOVP was disbanded'

'For youngsters like us
dreams are different from reality'

'Reality is a far cry from our dream'

'I, me all by myself'

'Chapter: All Alone In Solitude'

'I don't know if my stars
were not well aligned'

I just couldn't get
a good job anywhere

Bye, dude

- 'Off for my meeting, dude
- I'm off to work, bye'

I didn't have the heart
to let go of my dream

'Sir, Kali will survive and thrive
even if he has no legs or hands!'

[dialog from 'Mullum Malarum']

'He is an out and out rogue, sir'

Anand?

Where are the others?
Where are you off to all alone?

They have gone to work, anna

Is that so?

Hey! I told you to
focus on your work

What the heck are you doing?

See you

'Everyone around took a dig at me
for not getting a proper job'

'When I went seeking for a job'

'I was myself humiliated
for not being the proper candidate'

B.S!

Anand, listen

Don't waste my time, okay?

You can look out
for other opportunities

I'm sure you can fit into some-

Basic stuff, huh?

[dialogs from 'Thillu Mullu']

'Sir, a job not befitting my education
Not validating my father's clout'

'A job not secured on
my integrity, honesty, hard work'

'If I can get it only with
a few references'

'I don't want that job, sir'

'Dude'

'Can you refer me in your company
and somehow get me a job?'

'Please, da'

'I am myself in a soup'

'And you're hassling me?'

Joining this course,
like one among the litter

Fine, I studied, but to have stopped
with just undergrad was my biggest blunder

I should have done my masters

Everyone here has a string
of degrees to their credit

'If you can't match them
be happy with the job you get'

It is foolhardiness to desire to go to
the next level from our middle class life

We shouldn't fall in love, dude

'Kannamma, how do you guys live here?
Are you comfortable?'

'It is actually such a nice area'

- Who is she?
- 'Nothing like it'

- Hi, when did you come?
- Half an hour ago

Sorry, my cousins
landed up at home

By the way this is
my cousin Ratheesh

Hi, bro, nice to meet you

This is Anand...my friend

'Gone were the times I used to
wait to chat with my dad'

'I started waiting
for him to go to bed'

'I was scared appa shouldn't see me'

'But my appa'

Isn't Ravi at home?

Anna, he left for work
early in the morning

'I can see his bike parked below'

'Knows to borrow money
just to suit his needs, eh?'

'Doesn't he know to pay
the interest for it promptly?"

'Next time I won't be this polite'

'I will barge right in'

'Meet our friends'

- Wow!
- How strange!

Praveen is prancing with a doll

'Who is that chick?'

Guys

This is my girl Rebecca

- Babe, call me Reba
- Okay, chill...chill

Reba, make yourself comfortable

- Here?
- Yeah, sit...sit

'Offer a plate to her'

- Okay
- Go on, eat

Tastes good, fritters

No, we can't eat this

'It's not good for health, boo'

'It's not hygiene too'

- No, you can't eat this
- Cool...cool...cool

'You're not going to eat this'

Why did you offer her?

'That's my boy!'

- Wait
- All yours!

- 'Sir?'
- What, dude?

Never told us about her?

No, dude, we were dating
for quite some time

'We met at work
and got to know each other'

I proposed one day
and she said 'okay'!

'You know something?'

1 week since we sealed our relationship

That's why I wanted to
introduce her to you

1 week!!

'You are in a different league!'

You would've gone up to Big O
Your intro comes too late

- He has come to inform us, da
- Correct

- Thanks, dude
- Why didn't you tell any of us, Praveen?

Your behavior is so new to us

Vidya and Srikanth
don't alienate us at all

Forget us

Anand and Kannamma

'They share everything with us'

Why are you comparing him and me?

He'll tell us anything and everything

Look at the 'bhajji' in his hand

He would've asked Adhi
if he should eat it or not!

Anand, did you ask him?

I can't be like him, Vidya

'And also this is something
personal between us'

Brush all this aside

Anand, eat

'I keep informing him
the due date to pay-'

Sir, will anyone forget
the due date deliberately?

- 'Sounding like a broken record
- I'll tell him

'Pay your bills on time'

- Please, sir
- 'Don't make me come to your house!'

Sumathi, don't you know you should
keep a glass of water along with a meal?

First go and bring water

Poor boy!

You pamper him
and spoil him rotten

Okay...enough

You eat and apply ointment

Ointment?

Why do I need ointment, ma?

Which wedding am I attending
after my knee gets better?

Gita's daughter is getting married

I have to answer awkward questions
about my son's job, so I don't attend

'She has started her rant!'

I'm shouting my throat hoarse

Sitting here least bothered
hogging without saying a word!

What's your problem, ma?

I'm trying to be patient and
you're ranting and raving

What's your problem?
I don't get it

Your problem is I don't have a 9 to 5 job
or the fact you don't attend functions?

I like that, why won't you
let your tongue run?

You are well aware of
our cash crunch problem

How long do you expect that man
to work his butt out for you?

If I think of you and sleep
I get palpitations!

'When will my son settle down?'

'He shouldn't suffer like me'

Only difference is
I get it out of my system

Your father bottles it all up

But you?

You don't understand
what's happening at home

- You sit here unconcerned
- Do you understand, ma?

Do you understand my feelings?

'Forever saying you gave birth to me
and brought me up with difficulty'

Raising the child is a given!
Paining yourself to be a martyr!!

You are seeing me daily

Am I simply gallivanting?

I don't know what's happening in my life

You simply rant and rave

All your friends have found a job

Why are you the only exception?

'I don't understand'

I just don't understand

'You heard her, grandma?'

You are watching this

Beating around the bush

Finally

Comparing my friends with me
Leave me alone, grandma

I'll discuss and decide
once and for all today

What's with you, ma?

You love to compare

Shall I do the same?

I try my best to hold my tongue

Just like how parents compare
their children with others

If children do tit for tat
it will be a disaster, ma

Go inside

'Go'

'After that, I didn't like staying at home'

'I felt like running away
to Timbuktu or some remote place'

You won't go anywhere

But I'm scared I may be the one
to move far away from you

Do you think we finished college
and we are dating just now?

Generally boys may not discuss this
But it's a different story for girls

If they know they have found Mr Right
they will confirm within 2 years

My parents keep urging me
to go back with them to Delhi

What do you want me to do now?

I really don't know
if I am coming or going!

- What is your caste?
- Huh?!

Your caste can be anything

But I know we don't belong
to the same caste

It doesn't matter one bit to me

I like you

I'm thinking of a future with you

But if I broach the topic
of 'marriage' at home

It will snowball
into a huge issue

My family will never approve
of an inter-caste marriage

If I should talk about
our love to my dad

You need a secure job, right?

Forget about me for a moment
You have to watch your own back, right?

Anand

I really love you

When I am with you
I feel so happy

You always make me smile

'More than anything
we are like...best friends'

I can use work as an excuse

And buy us time
for at least 2 years

But even I can't
manage beyond that

I will never give you up
at any point of time to anyone

Don't you feel the same way?

'Stuck in a dead end'

'Like everyone else
I steered into another path'

'Even I took up a job I detested'

'Bloody death-client!
Choosing my auto to kill himself!'

'You have any brains?'

Do you eat rice or crap!?!

'You don't have to
go for this job'

Why go for some goddamn job
you hate with your heart and soul?

Is that why you studied so hard?

Don't you know your mother well enough?

'She gets flustered for everything'

What happened to your plans
of doing your masters?

Pa, I was in a different mindset-

I would rather continue in this job

I met my friend Krishna today

'His son is also the same age as you'

'He studied the same course'

'He is facing the same problem
you are going through'

But he is in Singapore now
He finished his Masters in science

He secured a good job
and is well settled now

Hefty salary

Krishna is very close to the man
who got the job for his son

I feel that will be the best option for you

Pa, Singapore will be very expensive

Why do you worry
about the expense involved?

We own this house, right?

We can take a loan
using it as collateral

We can close the loan
once you study and get a job

Appa, pledging our only home

How can you even think of this?

Nothing wrong with that

This is all for you

You can easily pay the loan
once you get a job after your Masters

I'll pay the interest till then

We should run as far
as our legs can carry us, son

Your brother is finishing school

He talks like he's already a doctor!

In a few years
when he finishes his course

Won't you take care of him?

'I feel things will fall into place'

Ball is in your court!

'To settle you into a business'

Or befriending big shots with clout
who can get you a job

I don't know

'I'm doing what little I can'

Tomorrow you shouldn't think
I was absolutely useless, right?

Education is our only backbone, son

We'll get Srikanth for his birthday,
Woodland's shoes special offer 6k

6000 rupees?!

Come to Spencer's
I'll get it for you for Rs 1000

It will be as good as original

We'll get that good pair
of shoes for your birthday

Stingy-mingy!

- What is the split, dude?
- 1000 bucks per head

Take out your cash
Order confirmed

All you dumbos are born in June!

Don't crib, da
Give me the cash

Dude, you too

Add yourself also

- Dude, I don't have cash on me
- Rs 1000

I'm shelling out for you
like monthly installments!

- Birthday it seems
- Then why were you born?

You don't listen to me
when I say don't crib

- 1000 bucks
- Awww!

Dude, shut up!

- Hey!
- What?

Anand's share?

I gave for him

I know that, dude
I'm asking when will he give?

Praveen, what is this
new question you are asking?

Nothing new, dude

My point is, this shouldn't become a habit

Hey! What's wrong with you, Praveen?

He didn't say anything wrong

- He just spoke his mind
- Whose mind?

Have you both lost it?

Why are you pouncing on him?

He was outspoken
I've been thinking the same

Babu, don't you feel the same way?

- What is this, dude?
- What about you?

- Praveen, you're going overboard
- Shut up, di

Dude, everyone feels the way I do

If we pool in all the time
for everyone, then why do we need you?

- What's he saying?
- Shut up

Let him speak

Have I ever asked you for 1 rupee?

- Leave it
- He will listen to you

Why are you taking a dig at me
as if I've asked you?

- Eff you!
- If you let your tongue run

[overlap of angry voices]

How dare you lay a finger on him!

He took a dig at me
and you're hitting me!!

Get out of my way

How can you get angry?

Let me handle it

I should lose my temper, not you

Do you know the value of money?
We know because we earn

Hey! He has no intentions of earning

Happily living off us on freebies

- What did he do?
- Rushing to his defense?

This watch on your wrist

Would he have contributed 1 rupee?

- What's up with you?
- Hey! Ask him, not me

Ask him to answer

- How dare you push him
- Take your hands off

Did you pay for him?
I did, why should you butt in?

Eff you, why are you angry?

- Why not?
- Why are you angry?

I shouldn't get angry, eh?

I trusted him and 1 year of our life
was wasted forming a company?

I can't lick his boots like you do

What I'm saying makes 100% sense
and you're pouncing on me

But Reba told me
the day she met all of you

You call them your friends and
one day they'll take you for a ride

Hey...hey, don't

'You speak for yourself'

- Who the eff is Reba?
- Get up, dude

Quoting some female
and ditching our friend?

- Get up, dude
- Leave me alone

Let go of me
Move aside

- He started this
- Why are you hitting him?

'Your words were in bad taste, no?'

Praveen

- Hey Praveen
- Hands off!

- Dude
- You hit me, right?

Let go

If I ever set eyes on you after this

You can slipper me!

- Hey dude
- Don't bloody 'dude' me

- Praveen
- Why did you hit him?

You calm down

- You broke it
- Hey!

- Get lost
- Where are you going?

- Why did you?
- I hit him because I had that liberty

- Why did you make it worse?
- Hey dude

'Look, he's standing alone there'

- Dude, he has really gone
- 'What happened?'

Okay, you don't get upset

Why is he feeling sad?

He's feeling bad about
having started NOVP

Anand, don't take it to heart

- Dude
- Nothing

Poor thing!

I was defending you

Why are you being so aloof?
What's your problem?

I feel I'm wrong

He spoke like that in anger

At home

Outside

So many people told me

In the end I have become
a burden to all of you, eh?

- Not at all, Anand
- How can you think that?

Karthi

Sorry, dude

Why are you apologizing now?

I felt embarrassed
to ask my dad for money

Don't feel bad

I didn't expect it will turn so ugly

Leave it

Hey! Forget it

Rajesh and Praveen
blurted what they really felt

- Do you think the same way?
- What's wrong with you?

Sorry, da

Our friendship is unique, dude

He didn't know what
he was saying in anger

- Machan
- Console him

Sorry

Please don't cry

I owe you

I owe you Rs 10, 000

I'll somehow beg,
borrow and repay-

Why are you hitting him now?

Have you lost your mind?
Is our bond so shallow?

I have to repay you
I'll borrow from someone

Dai!

Machan

I like you very much

Adhi

You mean the world to me

- But if I stay here any longer
- Hey!

I'm scared those who love me
will start disliking me

- I'm scared
- Anand, don't think like this

Adhi, talk sense into him

Don't feel that way

Don't say that

Anand!

Anand

I have...I have to go now

- Where are you going?
- Will you do me one favor? Please

Convey my apologies to
Praveen and Rajesh

- Hey Anand
- 1 minute, listen to me

I joined your gang half way through

Let me leave half way too

Don't talk like this
Please, da

I shouldn't be the reason
for our gang to break up

- Anand
- Anand, don't go

Hey! Don't go

- Call him back
- Tell him not to go

- Go, da
- Anand

- Don't go
- Adhi

Look now

He's left us

'For youngsters like us'

'What we didn't ask for will be granted
sooner than what we really wish'

'I have heard this said often'

"On an elusive search I go
far faraway from all of you"

'It happened to me too'

'The place that accepted me
unconditionally'

'I felt it was asking me
to widen the gap'

'That day is etched in my memory'

"Out of my nest, like a bird
I fly now to another world"

"On an illusive search I go
far away from all of you"

"Is truth lost in life's humdrum routine?"

"Is distress spreading like vine?"

"Is many a millennium
coming to an end with momentum?"

"Will the sun rise to shine
after a night of quarantine?"

"Will the sea shore seem like a line tiny?"

"Is the city bidding goodbye to me?"

"Is everything I held so dear
untrue in my world here?"

'You aced it in the very first page'

'Much love'

'From your Kannamma'

'Everything you like is here'

'Everyone you like too'

"On a delusive search I go
far faraway from all of you"

"On an illusive search I go
far away from all of you"

"Out of my nest, like a bird
I fly now to another world"

"On a delusive search I go
far faraway from all of you"

"A prison that scorns at me"

"Every second scorching fiery"

"Though I try my best
to forget in right earnest"

"A pain like second skin
clings to me from within"

"A breath of life innate
I found in all things inanimate"

"Won't any of this I wonder
give me joy hereafter?"

"Even if I combine reality
in my casket of memories in totality"

"Like shadows that vanish
tomorrow may also perish"

"Will the boon of friendship forever
end with nothing left to savor?"

"Will love too from now on
disperse into oblivion?"

"I have many a question plaguing me
But without answers my life moves quietly"

"Hounded and pounded by pain and strife
I move away from my familiar life"

"On an elusive search I go
far faraway from all of you"

"On an illusive search I go
far away from all of you"

"Out of my nest, like a bird
I fly now to another world"

"On an elusive search I go
far faraway from all of you"

So that was when you went
to Singapore for the first time

That was my first time
flight travel, sir

Madhananna

Hi Anand

Come...come

Welcome...welcome

Welcome...welcome
to Singapore

'This is your HDB, Anand'

You will be living here

Back home we call it 'colony'

Here it is HDB

Azhagar anna lives here

He is my friend, philosopher, guide

I'll introduce him to you

Come...come inside

Anand, I told you, right?
This is Azhagar anna's home

Chief chef in ABC Hotel

We have to search for him here

Where is-

He isn't there
Turn around

'He revels in music and cooking'

[song from 'Dharma Pathini']

"She's the chrysanthemum, a flower
I've been searching forever"

"On a twilight evening
she bloomed; awakening"

Anna

Hey! My dear boy

My golden boy
Ages since I saw you

Good to see you

Why have you become so scrawny?

- Are you eating well?
- Yes, anna

Come and relish my cooking

Aiyo! I ate just now

How can you visit me
and tell me you've already eaten?

That's exactly why I ate earlier

Hey! I am not what I was before

Watching reels in YouTube
I've polished by culinary skills

- YouTube?
- Same tube!

Okay, forget all that

- I told you about Anand over the phone
- Yes, Anand

- I've briefed him properly
- What did you tell him?

- Everything, anna
- That's what I want to know

- Madurai means
- Azhagar

- Azhagar means?
- Madurai

Sooper!

Anand can live here

Eat with me here
and sleep here

He can start a brand new day tomorrow

- See you, anna
- Okay, my boy

All the best

Drink your coffee

I'll introduce you to
all the boys at home

Come along

Bro, this is # 1 resident

'He's a Mallu from Kerala
His name is George'

'Did you see how he gulps down
booze by the gallon?'

'Divas around him all the time'

'Only rejoicing, revelling
painting the city purple!'

'He is so goddamn lucky
He enjoys life to the fullest'

[Malayalam] What?

Nothing
You carry on

Wonder how many more
he'll hustle tonight?

'Don't see all this, come'

'Telugu Chap Dharma'

This is #2 resident

Dharma

Okay

Why are you scared?

'Why feel shy still?'

'It's just me here'

Love

He flirts and makes out on the phone

You have any love story?

[Telugu] 'That's right'

I didn't ask you to rewind now

Come along

This is #3 and last

But not least

He's from your homeland

He will often mention
some school name

Hahn! St John's!

St John's?

Yes, St John's

Who is it?

Here he comes

Prankster

Really fun loving fellow

'Hindi Chap Lalith'

Hiiiiiiiiiiii!

This fellow?

St John's alumnus

- I'm coming
- He's Lalith

Lalith in flesh and blood!

Hi da

[dialog from 'Ayan']

Hello, Anand

How are you?

Isn't it ages since we met?

You seem to know each other?

Super, Anand

Why won't I know him?

Anand and I were close friends
in school, am I right?

'Then you can paint Singapore red!'

'Chennai seems to be a small city'

You're dead meat
Come up

'Not like Madurai, no?'

[Hindi] Wicked fellow!

'I'm dead meat...gone case'

Anand, you seem to be on cloud 9
meeting your childhood friend?

This is 'Bharatha Vilas'
Cosmopolitan residence

NRIs from all the states in India live here

But total control is in
the hands of this Madurai!

Drink up your coffee

Why are you making a yucky face?

- You said it was coffee?
- Didn't it taste like coffee?

- Do you know to cook?
- No

Then this is coffee

Drink, enjoy

A fresh chapter begins
from tomorrow for you

All the best

'You bet it is a new chapter!'

'New city'

'Unfamiliar people'

'A lifestyle with wings on my feet
and no time to stand and smell the roses'

'A new beginning in my life'

"Where is my life heading to?"

'Chapter: 'Take It Easy Urvasi'

"Stagnating at a dead-end without a clue"

New place
New people

Everything seemed new

"My mirror bugged totally"

I was scared too

"Spits back in disgust at me"

"Going in circles deriding me endlessly
'Jobless junk-head' as nickname for me"

"When bored, yelling at me
repeatedly, what a pity!"

'College to one side'

"In rage and outrage, losing my temper
Walked out, struggled for a life proper"

"What was left alas on me
was my torn undies sadly"

"My dreamy life of delight
turned into black & white"

There's no food here, anna

I included you
in the head count

It's empty
Nothing left

Hey madcap!
Such a glutton you are

'My blessed fate'

'The chap I never wanted to set eyes on'

'I ended up being his co-tenant'

'Bad luck is having a field day with me!'

Hey!

Can't you see I'm sleeping?
Reduce the damn volume

'Doing it deliberately?!'

Reduce the volume

I know how to get even with you

'After college hours
a part-time job'

Sir, here you go

What is this?

'I said I don't want Mathalambu'

Er...I asked you, sir
You ordered this only, sir

You are telling me what I ordered?

Not like that-
Sir...sir

'Being yelled at is nothing new to me'

At least in our city
we can understand the cuss words!'

[Malay] 'Who the eff is he?'

'I asked for Mathalambu
but he is denying it vehemently'

"My wish-list could not be ticked
I did not get anything I picked"

"My troubles like bubble didn't disappear"

Forget it, dude
I'm there for you, right?

'Only Azhagar anna was my sole solace'

"My life is numb; freezing
bereft of any feeling"

"Grey haired boomer uncles born in the 50s
annoy me with their philosophies"

"My life is a maze of a muddle
An unsolved jigsaw puzzle"

"Ages since I laughed free of any hassle"

Hey Anand, we've come here to work

Get that into your head

If you pick up a fight wherever you go
you'll be doomed, da

People will say what they want

We have to follow, when in Rome,
do as the Romans do!

Take my advice

'I tried to change myself slowly
like being a Roman in Rome'

Sir

Thank you, sir

- Hi
- Hey! Hi

This is my department

There are more blocks

Who is in, anna?
It's getting late for me

Ask him to come out, bro

Hey! Come out

Anna, he's happily dancing in the loo

"My dreamy life of delight
turned into black & white"

Are you brainless or what?

'My only hope that tagged along
with me from college days'

'Somehow crack the app
'Become a Star' now'

'I slowly started working on it'

"7 notes of a song, do-re-me"

'I was just one step
away from finishing it'

'Hello, Anand'

Tell me

My dad's come from Delhi

'So I cannot text or call you'

It may blow up into a problem
I called to tell you beforehand

Plus we are going to Delhi this week

Why all of a sudden?

Dad has been asking me to come
for quite some time

If I refuse this time
it will turn into a terrible scene

'So we are leaving this week'

- Is he coming?
- 'Who?'

You know who

'Ratheesh, your cousin'

Naturally

He lives there

- 'What a silly question'
- Nothing, just forget I asked

'Hey! I really miss you'

I really miss you too

- 'Kannamma'
- Hahn

Amma is calling
I gotto go

Don't text or call me

I'll text you when
the coast is clear, okay?

I'll call whenever I find time, okay?

Okay

Take care
Love you

Hey Anand
How is the project?

Well...I'm almost
about to finish it, ma'am

Just got done with the user interface

- Great! I'll inform the company
- Okay, ma'am

You'll get the patent here
once it gets ready

We'll try to extend your visa
for you to work here

Okay, ma'am
That will be great

Thank you so much for the help

If you could just recommend
to the company, it will be great

I will
All the best

Thank you, ma'am

- 'Hello?
- Yes, tell me'

You know how cool the name is

Become A Star

Simply awesome

That's why I'm saying
Show a demo

How many times
will I repeat this to you?

- Let's go home, bro
- Just saying it won't give clarity

Do a demo once

Bro, how will I make you understand?

It's a technical matter

- You won't be able to grasp it
- I can understand technical stuff

- Leave it, bro
- I will understand

That's my mantra
What have I told you?

- Madurai means?
- Azhagar

- Azhagar means?
- Madurai

That's where you are wrong

Madurai means 'Thala' Ajith

'Thala' means Madurai

Know how Madurai will rejoice
when 'Thala' Ajith's film releases?

Must see it to believe it

Start the celebration!

THALAAAAAI!

Gigantic cut-out on top

My face in a small space below

My name in-between 'Azhagar'

'Dheena'

Thala's movie releases
it's revelry and rock & roll everywhere

I am the President of
Ajith Kumar Fan Club

I wooed my wife just like
'Thala' Ajith and got married to her

[song from 'Kaadhal Mannan']

"The second I set eyes on you
I was no longer the 'me' I knew"

"Never felt this way, I swear
as long as I can remember"

I love you

That's why I'm saying
I will understand everything

- Show it to me
- Anna, I get what you're saying

But you don't seem to
get what I'm saying

I have done everything required

I'm encountering a small problem
in the final stage of this app

I want to ask
the right person for help

My boys will be ready to help you

They know everything
They will do it for you

Our boys?

Yes, our roommates

Not my subject, dude

How is it all of you claim
you don't know anything?

I know someone

But he won't do it

'You thought I poisoned your sweetmeat?'

[dialog from 'Ayan']

Anna, I don't need his help

- Come...come
- Why ask him to help me?

- Most welcome
- George, don't

He and I just don't get along

Why should we ask him?

No need, anna

- Listen to me
- No need

- 1 minute
- Shut up!

Azhagar!

- Don't lose your temper
- What's the point in laughing non-stop?

He is our friend

- Only you should help out
- Who?

Is he one of us?

Bro, you can think of him
as your golden boy

But for me

20 year feud!

I can't push it under the rug

I was waiting for
a moment like this, bro

How can you say this?

What is your problem?

- How does it concern you?
- Wait, boys

Relax...cool down

Just fix the problem

I'll do it only for your sake, Azhagar

Okay, my dear boy

It can be rectified

But I'm doing this only for you

With 1 condition

I shouldn't cook, right?

- No
- Then?

[Hindi] Give it

Hey! I can't
I refuse to wear it

- Don't force me
- Come on, wear it

Rohit Sharma

'What I never dared to dream
started falling in place'

'I don't know what to do next'

- What is the issue in the coding?
- It's a coding error

My dream of a few decades

'With Lalith's help I finished
'Become A Star' app successfully'

'The result was perfect
Just what I expected'

'Only testing step had to be done'

Here's your coffee

Tea for you

Hey! Make a toast, cheers!

- Cheers
- Cheers!

'A lamb for the slaughter
came of its own accord for testing'

'When our beloved 'head' is here
the tail shouldn't wag!'

[dialog from 'Dheena']

You asked me to
make Lalith help you

I did it

Don't call me for your app testing

Leave me in peace

Made mutton fry
Come and eat

- I just can't do this
- Anna, please

- For my sake
- Leave me alone

Ask one of your room mates
I'm sure one of them will oblige

That punk head Lalith

He'll get it from me one day

Leave me alone
Don't kill me with your pleas

For your brother's sake please

- I can't do it
- Please, bro

You're making me the guinea pig!

My Madurai roots of dignity
can't be chopped in Singapore!

- What a climate!
- I'll nail him now

Singapore is Singapore

"Cast aside the blanket of worry
covering your mind; so unnecessary"

[song from 'Dheena']

"Tears you are shedding
are your own doing"

"Did we come here to cry?"

"Rock & roll, give a high 5!"

Pah! You give your & and soul and sing

You hero-worship Thala, no?

Who won't adore our Ultimate Star?

You said it!

Anna

Then for 1 second
will you take Thala's avatar?

Can you do that, bro?

My pleasure!

That's where the app
comes in handy

- 'Become A Star'
- Then I agree

- Move, bro
- Come here

- Move a bit
- Why is your face like a wax statue?

Yov! Move

- '[Telugu] Move to the left
- Stand right there'

'Stand like Thala, bro'

'Are you ready?'

One

Two

Three

Start

Bro, why are you rooted to the spot?

You never gave the cue

Azhagar, must light it
in the right spot

'Bro, please don't look like that'

Ready, bro

'One'

'Two'

Three

Start

"Don't be a broomstick useless"

"Be a matchstick to dispel darkness"

[Telugu] What is this?

Why the hell don't you light it?

'Just do it, anna'

It isn't getting lit

[Telugu] Can't you even light
a tiny match stick?

"Like a match stick"

"Like a match-"

Azhagar, listen to me

After I say 1-2-3
open the bottle and-

I know everything, just go

Go...go

- Bro, ready
- 'Ready?'

- I'll ace it now
- Please, for your brother's sake

Okay? One

'Two'

Careful

[song from 'Dheena']

Why did you pour it now?

- Wasn't it super?
- Fat hopes!

- Eff him! Hit him
- I was super, no?

Watch it, I'm your brother'

Wonder what mess-up now!

Okay, anna

Do it, last try

Ready, bro

Ready

"A match stick by itself can't get lit"

"Till someone acts as the catalyst"

"By yourself don't get into trouble"

"Till someone provokes you inflammable"

"Don't be a broomstick useless"

"Be a matchstick to dispel darkness"

[song from 'Dheena']

Simply soooper!

[Malayalam] Azhagar is
hero Ajith Kumar now, eh?

You shorty!!

'You are truly blessed, man
Dancing with glam-doll Nagma, huh?'

Did you watch
your performance, Azhagar?

Soooper!

- Come on
- Yes...yes!

Bro, I think it will work out?

What a question!

Like your friend told you back home
tomorrow you'll make everyone a hero

Sooper, bro

- Don't delay
- Let's go

- Get ready to go to the temple
- No, bro

I'll finish this immediately
and meet Madhan anna

Bro, don't believe
something good should happen

Believe and automatically
good events will follow your faith

Okay, bro

'Chapter: Vaan Ingae Neelam Angae'
[Sky here, sea there]

Hello, Baasha
How are you?

- Long time since I saw Praveen
- Ma, get into the car

I don't know why he suddenly
wants to come with us to the temple

Ma, get into the car

Your friends are here to see you

I don't want to see anyone
or talk to anyone

1 minute, wait

Listen to me
They will handle it

- What's your problem, bro?
- Why do you have such a long face?

- Talk it over
- I'm telling you I want to be left alone

- Praveen?
- Hey! What's your problem?

'Not picking our calls'

Not even checking our messages

I go to his house, he turns his face
Am I some third person?

Listen, I'm sorry

Anna, I don't want to talk to anyone

- Just leave me alone
- Wait, Praveen

Hey machan

Wait 1 minute

How long will you avoid us, huh?

You tell him what you feel
Just listen to his side

Will you listen to me or not?

You are childhood friends
How can you behave like this?

Exactly what I'm asking

We grew together
Played together

What's the point, if I should choose
my words before I voice my opinion to them?

I don't know what else to say

- Hey! Dude, listen
- Wait...don't go

I swear I didn't feel bad you hit me

After that, Raju said
'You broke us apart'

I truly feel we have broken our bond

Praveen, I'm not used to
this kind of bad vibes with you

I regret that day
and feel terrible 24x7

Every single day I wish
I could turn back the clock

What more should we do to patch up?

Forget my misery

Is your understanding of me so shallow?

Did you understand me that day?

'You are pointing fingers at me!'

Whom did I try to defend?

I spoke for him with good intentions

I know how terrible he would've felt
every time he didn't have money to pool in

Why did you hit me?
Because I asked him, right?

If I hadn't spoken my heart out

Someone else will

He couldn't have handles that shame

I didn't feel bad you hit me

But you heard what Adhi said?

For the love of some female

Breaking the bond we share

How...?

Even I feel you guys are my world, no?

But only difference

Like all of you

To show my affection
in sweet words or hugs

I don't know, dude

I told you already, anna

I will break down if I see
all of you and share my feelings

I feel so knotted up inside

- See you
- Hey Praveen

- Praveen
- Wait, da

- Dude
- Sorry, da

- Talk to us
- Where are you going?

- Don't be a scumbag
- Talk to us

Happy birthday

- Happy birthday, machan
- Sorry, da

Happy birthday, dude

Come, let's all eat 'bhajji'

Praveen, eat a fritter
Friends forever!

You had better pick one

Are you sure
this 'bhajji' is hygienic?!

Ask him that question

Stuff a 'bhajji' into his mouth

She'll serve you, wait

- Happy birthday, Praveen
- Thank you, ma

Anand's birthday is next week

Seeing all of you together
makes me feel I'm seeing him

- You must have been busy
- Hahn? Too busy!

- 'In your dreams!'
- Don't believe her

Remember how she has yelled
at all of you when you were kids

If not me, who will
reprimand my children?

I would've yelled at them
for their own good

Look how they have all grown up

When are you getting married?

'Okay?'

Anand's world now
is also only Kannamma

He talks more to her than us

- 'Bro, dad is so thrilled'
- Is that so?

'He said we can redeem
our house within 2 months'

- 'Happy birthday, enjoy, bro'
- Thanks

'Everyone at home was happy
thanks to my job here'

'But I was the one-'

'Ages since I relished
such a spread!'

'Another important factor'

'You are in one city'

'Our family is in another city'

You are the manager in our firm

I am opening a new branch in Chennai

You are all-in-all in-charge

Really? Very happy

- I hope you're accepting it?
- 100%

Another piece of good news

Ratheesh told us only last week
he likes Kannamma a lot

He wants to settle down in Chennai too

Oh! I think it is
the right time to speak?

Kannamma, are you okay
with this alliance?

Is this why you kept rejecting
all the grooms we suggested?

Take a good look at him, your husband
is the cousin you know from childhood

It just didn't occur to me

- Ratheesh is perfect choice
- I am really happy

Just like I promised
I kept my commitment

Thanks

This is an informal acceptance

[Hindi] Sabitha, you take a sweet too

Kannamma, sweet for you

'I think she's speechless
drowning in happiness'

'What, Kannamma?'

I swear I don't know what to do

That's why I asked you to come over

You told me, okay

Did you tell Anand?

You want me to tell him?

He'll get so tense
and make me tense too

And also how can he help
all the way from there?

Cheers!

'What was the problem?'

1 second, babe
Let me talk

[Malayalam] 'What is bothering you?'

What's your problem?

No, bro
Kannamma-

Didn't call or text

I don't know why
She never misses my birthday

See, that's the hassle
with long distance relationship

This is very common, okay?

[Malayalam] She doesn't know
what you're doing

You don't know what she's doing

Some things are better

When you don't know the truth

[Telugu] That's it
He said it so well

[Hindi] Stop...stop
1 minute, wait

1 minute, wait

Hey...hey, enough

If you pour so much
he will be triggered

Can't control him

He has 101 problems to face

If I share this with him
on top of all his hassles

That's it

You could've confided in your mother?

Hmmm...amma

She will only support her brother,
Ratheesh's dad for sure

She will ask me 'is this how you act
misusing the freedom given to you?'

Emotional torture of the worst kind

They won't get me married
to the boy I love

So many will be hand in glove
for an alliance I don't like

This is why I don't broach the topi-

KANNAMMA!

Hey!

You are Vidya, right?

- Yeah
- I know you well

You, your colony gang
I know all about all of you

'But haven't met you
I had no time'

Can we click some snaps?

Sure

'Both of us!'

Yeah, okay

Aiyo!

'Don't disturb
Don't call'

TTYL, huh?

Pick up

Pick up...pick up

- Hello
- 'Hello'

Hello...hello

- I can hear, tell me
- You tell me

Talk to me

'You have to talk now'

- I'll hear you out patiently
- What do I tell you?

I'll wait patiently

What photo was that, huh?

'Two hands making a heart
with 'him' next to you'

'I'll let that pass for now'

Do you know what day is today

'Or conveniently forgotten?'

You couldn't find 5 minutes to talk to me?

'Hey! You got it wrong'

'So busy you couldn't call?'

I swear I had a lot of work

- I thought you'll understand
- I saw what you were up to

Having fun with Ratheesh

Photo...super, soooper!

- 'It was too cool!'
- Hey!

You think if you block me in
Insta and Facebook, I can't see?

Hey! That isn't a an issue at all

- I blocked you in Instagram
- 'For what joy?'

- Listen, you know very well
- 'How do I explain?'

All that's happening around me

Each day I feel like a robot

If you couldn't spare 5 minutes
on my birthday for me

- 'Nothing like that'
- What else will I expect?

'Okay, let's not argue now'

Happy birthday

'Have fun, okay?'

Do I look like a beggar to you?

'Why do you misunderstand
whatever I say?'

I don't understand, di
You must talk for me to get it

Am I Buddha to be
in an enlightened state?

Did you call me
just to fight with me?

''If you talk to me in this tone
I'll cut the call and walk away'

'That's all'

You are hiding something from me

It has been weeks
since you went to Delhi

Not a single message or call

I will call you

Please give me some time

I'll myself call and
tell you everything

Tell me now

Update me on what's happening

Tell me what's brewing!

- 'Tell me what has to be done'
- My life is in a whirl now

I'll call when I get the right time

Kannamma, tell me frankly

Please

'Do you get it, da?'

I feel

So insecure

Crazy thoughts swirl in my head

Please tell me, please

- 'What's happening?'
- Please

'It's your birthday today
Enjoy it over there'

'Let me handle everything here'

EFF YOU! TELL ME

Tell

I'm going stark raving mad

Please tell me

'My engagement has been fixed'

'Satisfied?'

"Why are you so far away from me?"

'Eng...engage-'

I don't understand

'Talk to me...talk, hello?'

Don't cut the call

'Hello...please'

Hello...hello

Holy crap!

Hello

'Don't hang up, dear'

'Hello...hello'

Talk to me...talk, hello?

Don't cut the call

Hello...please

Hello...hello?

[disconnected beep]

"Why are you so far away from me?"

"Why am I all alone, drowning in misery?"

"Why do miles separate you from me?"

"Why do I suffer in solitude wretchedly?"

[Hindi] Don't be like this, dear
Ratheesh is perfect choice for you

Come, getting late for the function

We are planning to go out
What will you do sitting alone here?

Forget everything and be happy
for a while, come with us

"Go...enough of feeling battered
Dreams we shared are tattered"

"This is all I can bear, my dear
The truth you told is melting here"

"If I see you right now
that's all it takes somehow"

"Our love plummets down
in tears to drown on its own"

"I am not any longer with you
I am a stranger to myself too"

"I have become an island
faraway from my homeland"

"I am not any longer with you
I am a stranger to myself too"

"I have become an island
faraway from my homeland"

"Why are you miles away from me?"

"Why am I all alone, drowning in misery?"

"Love in my eyes
that I can visualize"

"Ends up in pain I can't normalize"

"Why are you so faraway from me?"

"Why am I all alone in this agony?"

"Why do miles separate you from me?"

"Why do I suffer in solitude and misery?"

"Rewinding memories is painful
So is reality; heartache hurtful"

"I am tormented here
in solitude, my dear"

"No mirror is as true as
the reflection in your eyes"

"I wish to see 'me'
in your eyes, my love-ly"

"I see only your face
wherever I go; always"

"My paths orbit with you in a distant space"

"I want to live till infinity
with you for eternity"

"Hands clasped, you and me
I want to chat with you for eternity"

"Why are you so far away from me?"

"Why am I all alone, drowning in misery?"

"Why are you so far away from me?"

"Why am I all alone, drowning in misery?"

'Isn't the invitation super?'

I love it
Do you like it?

Let's start giving from tomorrow

Mamma, enough is enough

[Hindi] I am going to tell dad

Are you out of your mind?

'This isn't about Anand and you'

This is about your papa's life

'Just do what I say'

Is this a business deal, ma?

Do what I say

'I tried calling her many times'

'I thought I could somehow reach her'

'But I had no idea
what was happening over there!'

'Besides my salary, I was even working
part-time and sending money home'

'In order to redeem our house document'

'My boss approved my
'Become A Star' idea

'And asked me to sign
the patent over to the firm'

Then, part-time

Hey! Chill...chill

You can work on your app right here

I'll help you
Don't worry

- Okay, anna
- 'Okay

Hey! Who you talking to?

My father

I heard you stopped working here, huh?

Oh yeah! I don't have to
see your face anymore, that's why

- Really?
- Yeah...yeah

How's the taste?

'Bon voyage'

'Go back...go back
to your home, baby, go'

'Get out'

[Malayalam] Let it go

'Hey Azhagar'

You are to blame

'Brainless or what?
You didn't even retaliate!

First you prevented me

Now you are restraining him

Don't you have any sense?

If he splashes juice on your face
will you just keep quiet?

'Why didn't you hit him?'

Foreigner?

Showing his temerity!

Hey! Why do you discriminate
with skin tone?

Don't you have
bad guys in your land?

Forget it

Shall we booze tonight?

'Let's make a night to remember'

What?

"Even if this place is paradise"

"Can it match our homeland likewise?"

'Azhagar, performance super'

Thank you, nandri, shukriya!

Seeye...thank you

Super...sooper

Get down carefully, Azhagar

Watch your step

Lord Azhagar is dunked in Vaigai river
Here I am, Azhagar drowned in booze

What, da?

Happy?

- [Hindi] Awesome!
- Love you, da

[Malayalam] Simply awesome!

Even he is happy!

Hey!

'Boss, happy now?'

Be happy, don't worry

What is it, da?

Eat

I'll feed you

Hey! Look at me

Hey

Feeling home-sick?

Your girlfriend left you

Kannamma, right?

Shall I tell you about me?

'My life?'

My amma

My appa

My wife

My darling wife

My love for her

I love her sooooooooooo much

I revelled and rejoiced in our love
every moment every day

And I married her

She's gone

She took my daughter too
along with her and left me

'Divorce'

I am to blame

I am the only one to blame

Hey! You saw
My muscles

You saw?

Back home in India

I wanted to start a gym

But

Debts all over the town

I drowned in heavy loss
in all the jobs I took up

I stood empty handed
Care of the kerb!

In that frustration and anger

I drank

Today

Someone to shower
tender love & care

Zilch...zero

Huh? I have no one

'Not a single soul'

I stared earning
I worked in this hotel

'And earned a solid amount'

Here...this chap

For my daughter

Dolls, candy

- What did you call it?
- Toys

He was the one
who went and gave

I had bought a whole load of stuff for her

But

I was the one

To send her gifts
with so much love

'She doesn't know'

'My daughter'

- My only child
- It's okay, bro

'She doesn't know I'm her dad'

You see, she has never seen me

Since the day I came to Singapore
she has never seen me

Come, let's get back

Let's go, enough

- Let me...let me finish telling them
- Okay, go on

Let me tell and
then go to bed

'Hey Anand'

'Earn well'

Earn till your bank account overflows

But

Go back home
as soon as you can

'You have everything
in your homeland, Anand'

He's fully buzzed, take him home

Come with me
Enough...enough

You get buzzed too
some time or the other, Anand

[Hindi] 'Let's go'

- 'Let go, Lalith
- Come, Azhagar'

Anand

I can find my way

- I can go home
- Come along

'I can go by myself'

'Anand'

'Hey Anand'

'Be happy, don't worry'

'Lalith'

- What, da?
- Azhagar anna

Anna

Get up, anna

'Get up, anna'

Please get up

Call the ambulance

Azhagar anna, get up

'Hey Anand'

'Azhagar anna passed away, da'

'He suffered a heart attack
in his sleep it seems'

'He had left us and gone'

'Dolls, candy'

- 'What did you call it?
- Toys'

'I had bought
a whole load of stuff for her'

'But'

'I was the one'

'To send her gifts
with so much love'

'Earn well'

'But'

'Go back home
as soon as you can'

'The first loss I
encountered in my life'

'He was with me
in all ways always'

'The fact he was gone
I couldn't accept it at first'

It feels kind of strange
to be alone in that room

Can I share your room?

Come

'But after that I had to
get reconciled to that void'

'I knew I had no other option'

'But whatever I did
Wherever I went'

'Azhagar anna's words to me
on that eventful evening'

'Kept echoing in
the windmills of my mind'

'By some quirk of fate'

'The life I dreamt of'

'In my comfort zone
with the people I am at home with'

'Can't I lead such a happy life?'

'The yearning to go back
to my motherland'

'Consumed me even more'

'To execute ideas of young mind
is our company's dream and desire'

You are the sole reason
this dream has come true

Without you, this wish
wouldn't have been fulfilled

This year, Management Team, Core Team
I want to set them aside for a bit

I have thought of
a jolly, innovative idea

NOVP events

Sir, event company?
I don't get it

Usually an Event management company
A to Z, will only outsource their needs

But this company has been created
with friends joining hands together

They supervise all departments
A to Z by themselves

So we need an interesting factor, USP?

Interesting factor, sir
Yes, I have news for you

'Become A Star'

Whoever attends this event

The app will make them feel
they are a hero in real life!

So that is their highlight

They have based this factor
and created an app

Trust me, once launched
this app will be a game-changer

Youngsters will get a chance
to host an entertaining event

Let's see them wave their magic wand

We have selected your idea
of NOVP Events

Host an event and
grab a lifetime opportunity

What are you planning to do?

'Congratulations, Mr Anand'

So, 'Become A Star'

We are very interested to work with you

'At Info Technologies'

Anand

What the hell was that?

You know how tough it was
for me to arranged that

Did you get cold feet?

You know what?
Take five

Go down and have a coffee

I'll see you back there in 5 minutes

Sarav'anna

I wasn't scared

In fact

For the first time in my life
I've taken a bold decision

I thought for a long while

But

I feel very strongly about it, anna

I've taken the right decision

What decision is this, Anand?

Look around you

Did you check your salary package?

You are going to lose
a LOT of things, Anand

Exactly, 'na

I will lose a lot of things
if I don't go back home

I learnt a lot in my life
these past 2 years

This is enough for me

Anna

Boys like me, to get a chance again
to make our dream come true

To be able to tick our wish list
is a rare opportunity, anna

I'm lucky to get it

But it is a risk, no doubt

I understand

But

Isn't taking a risk far better
than nursing a regret in life, anna?

I need to go back home

Madhan, put some sense into him

Sara, so many have approached me

Seeking a job in Singapore

When his dad asked me
I thought he was like all of them

But you know how many dreams
he has buried in his scarred heart, Sara?

Time is in his favor

Why shouldn't he try?

In fact we'll be doing a big blunder
if we don't allow him to follow his dream

So let him give it a shot

Hey!

Boss is calling you
Go down

Oh shit!

So you somehow got your way

All that's okay

What's your grouse against him?

You nailed him in one go!

Not like that at all

Spread your wings

'Chennai embraces
any visitor and all residents'

You are returning home
Chennai will breathe life into your soul

'True indeed'

'Nothing feels like home'

'All these months I was living in fear
wondering where this path was leading'

'For the first time, courageously
I am taking a step forward'

You want this intensely
You'll achieve it surely

All the best, da

'Beyond winning or losing'

'I will be meeting my friends again'

'That's my fountain of joy'

You have a name for your friends

[Telugu] Look over there

"He's returning to his Chennai friends
Back to his roots to make amends"

"He's returning to his Chennai-28 friends
Back to his comfort zone in every sense"

Sir, I told you about Lalith

Here he is

Hi sir

"True to his name he has found happiness"

"What was lost, no matter
can be retrieved hereafter"

"This is enough really
This will do for me"

His family has come to receive him
What about yours?

No, sir, actually

They don't know, sir

Won't my home coming surprise be
a moment to remember for them too, sir?

Interesting

"The world meant for me daily
will see me this time duly"

"Tears of joy abound
As rivulets stream down"

"The moment I have waited for"

"From this, I drifted afar"

"I will cherish this forever"

"This is the essence
of our existence"

"Reality in every sense"

Didn't I finish my deadlines, sir?
I worked my butt out to finish it

You're yelling
as if I'm a lazy bum

I asked permission
only for 1/2 hour?

I just cannot come for 2 hours, sir!

I don't want your job
I don't like your job, sir

I'm telling you now, sir, my friends
and I have started a company

#NOVP Events

'We provided a chance for
all of us to win in the same venue'

'As a demo event'

'We joined hands and organized

'Who else will celebrate
our place other than us?'

'All the friends and family
I acquired in my life's journey'

'I invited all of them to this event'

How is life treating all of you?

Normally in an event, singers and
dancers will stage a treat

The audience will applaud the feast

But our event is 101% unique

All of us will merge our voices
to sing together, okay?

Okay? What do you say, machan?

You would've got the song name
as message in your phones

Will you check your phone?

A special member from our team
has come to sing that song

'Are you ready?'

'Ready!'

"Where are you, my dear?"

[song from 'Taj Mahal']

"Where are you,
my love so true?"

"When do we, you and me"

Go, dude

"Unite in holy matrimony?"

Go

"My neck yearns for you to wed
To tie the sacred thread"

'Once again songs I heard
all around me came to a pause'

'I heard 'my song' playing into my ears'

"My love-list, one by one precious
you made my eyes visualize victorious"

"My mind swirlin' and twirlin'
like a giant wheel within"

I told you I won't ditch you

"I was a 'night' in abject misery
without a dawn in my story?"

"She changed my life in a jiffy
shining her beacon of light on me"

"Is this feeling called love by all?
You tell me, my darling doll"

"Tell me"

We sang, we danced

We had soooper fun

'On top of it all
we tasted Babu's food'

Next, there's a cool matter
waiting for you, okay?

'That moment
That resounding applause'

'That sound of the whistle'

Wow! Wow!!

'I was yearning for this moment
all these years'

'So the name for this chapter of my life'

[dialog from 'Annamalai']

"Cross all hurdles, mini and maxi
Lick them hollow, kick them crazy"

"Jump over red earth
Enjoy length and breadth"

"Cross all hurdles, mini and maxi
Lick them hollow, kick them crazy"

"Jump over red earth
Enjoy length and breadth"

Machan

Anand must be on the stage now
and taking our audience to dizzy heights!

Yes, dude, how long
will he hog the back stage?

That's why I dragged him
How was my master plan?

Wow! You have brain power

He has fainted over there and you are
drawing your name with your piss?

"Cross all hurdles, mini and maxi
Lick them hollow, kick them crazy"

"Jump over red earth
Enjoy length and breadth"

"Cross all hurdles, lass and lassie
Lick them hollow, kick them crazy"

"Jump over red earth
Enjoy length and breadth"

- Get up, da
- Everyone is watching

[mobile ringing]

What are you saying?
You fainted?

'Yes, sir, I fainted on the stage'

- How?
- 'Sir, with full confidence'

'I ran up the stage in 'Rajini' style
and closed my eyes, sir'

So what? Only Kannamma, your friends
and your family's eyes were on you

'Sir, they didn't appear before my eyes'

Who appeared?

Oh my God!

What was he doing there?

Then what happened?

Sir, it's true I fainted

But my friend took my place, sir

'He excelled himself on stage, sir'

'Become A Star' matter is a hit, sir

'Everyone rushed into the booth
of 'Become A Star', sir'

'Children transformed into
their favorite heroes, sir'

Our event was a terrific success

'Sir, do you remember?'

'In that flight when you first spoke to me'

'How beautifully you described
all the moments that gave you joy in life'

I think I have (re)discovered
those moments in my life, sir

'Taking my grandma to the theater'

'First Day First Show'

'Watching our Super Star's film with her'

'My mother feeding me
the meal she garnished with love'

'Talking nonstop for hours
about a cricket match with my dad'

'Even now when we are grown up
playing 7 stones like when we were kids'

'Enjoying long road trips on my bike
royally with my girlfriend'

'On our terrace, we plan to do
what we love the most and lifelong'

All these make me happy

Only hitch, my fear
is still sticking on to me

It's alright, sir

I found the courage to face life

This is just stage fear

I think even that will disappear
in the days to come, sir

Everything I shared
with you now

...will be crystal clear in
a single whatsapp notification

Whom are you talking to?

How long do I wait for your shot?

You can speak later

I'm coming
These boys are awesome

- More than our boys?
- For sure!
