Original subtitles

Okay, sir. I'll come home tomorrow and talk with you. Okay.

Good morning, sir. -Good morning, everybody.

Good morning, sir.

An important matter, usually we release a special edition...

...on April 14th for Tamil New Year, don't we?

Yes, sir. -I want to change that...

...tradition and release it as a Special Family Edition.

Along Sundaram Murthy Avenue, there are two identical houses...

...which look exactly the same. -Yes, sir.

The house is named "Brindavanam" is a landmark for that area

Just as we identify areas with statues...

...people recognize that area by that house.

I know it, sir.

There are two houses. -Yes.

But they are one by heart. -Just like how we celebrate...

...birthdays and anniversaries. They celebrate the day...

...they built the house as 'House Day.'

You're right. During the function, we'll interview everyone in...

...the house and print their photo in the special edition.

It will truly bring meaning to the phrase 'family bonding.'

Fantastic idea, sir. When is the function?

I'll inform you soon.

Slow down, you're going too fast.

Chinna, ride carefully. -I am riding carefully.

There are no girls around here. Why are you showing off?

We ride bikes to show off. If you don't like it, you can get down.

Get down. -Why wouldn't you tell me...

...to get down? Not only did you lie to buy the bike,...

...but you're also arrogant. -Lie?

Who did I lie to? -Don't act confused.

Didn't you lie to your father, telling him you passed your ...

...exams excellently last semester, and then bought this bike?

Yes, I did. -Did you even pass one subject?

You didn't even attend the exams. Useless fellow.

If I had told the truth, you wouldn't have gotten this bike.

The only reason I didn't pass is because I didn't attend the exams.

Next semester, I'll take the exams and keep my promise to my father.

Until then, don't you dare rat me out, or I'll smack your face.

Like you dare. -Oh, you think so?

It's not like you haven't skipped class to watch a movie.

Did I rat on you? -You didn't need to...

...rat on m because I told my mother.

What's your problem now? -Nothing, just keep going.

We need to invite everyone. -Hold on tight.

Just ride carefully.

Did you watch the movie Lagaan? -Why do you even ask?

I went to the movie with Riyan, and he was so troublesome.

He didn't let me watch the movie. -Don't you miss it.

Why don't we ask him about the tour?

Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

Sir, why did you recommend Rajasthan for our educational tour?

Rajasthan has very unique architecture.

The Pink City Palace stands as a testimony to that.

Would you like some chocolate, sir? -No, thanks.

The palace was built during the 14th century using nothing...

...but sand, no bricks or cement.

Indian temples usually have pillars made of sand.

But here, the entire structure is carved.

It's a paradise on Earth. Simply amazing.

What? -You're going to throw it away?

If you give it to me, I'll keep it as your remembrance.

Oh God. Okay, students, as I was saying, I'm sure now you...

...understand why I have chosen Rajasthan for this tour.

What is this? -Can't you see?

It's a chocolate wrapper. -Why're you collecting her rubbish?

Don't call it rubbish. These are remembrances.

I'm going to build a palace with these.

Useless fellow. -It's useful to me.

Don't go that way. -Why?

Githa is there. The last time I invited her to our House Day...

...function, she didn't come. So I'm not inviting her this time.

Okay. Now that you've told me, how can I go against your wishes?

Why are you going this way? -Hi!

Hi, Chinna. -Keep going.

Get down from the bike.

Githa, Chella insisted that I invite you to our...

...House Day function. -Thank you.

Sorry, Chella, I couldn't attend last year's House Day function.

I'll surely attend this time.

Don't try to make me an outsider by inviting me.

When the function starts, I will surely be there.

Here you go. Please come to the function.

Are you inviting Anita too? Don't worry, pass me...

...the invitation, and I'll invite her.

Why are you so eager? -It's my social service.

You're drooling, wipe your drool. -This is my personal service.

Hey, Karna. -What's up?

Distributed the invitations? -I'm doing it now.

Anyway, when will you be home? I'll give you the invitation there.

It's okay, just hand it to me here. -No, I'll come home...

...and pass it to you. -Okay, sure.

See you at home in the evening.

Can you order tea for me too? -Don't make me smack you.

You've started taking photos as soon as you arrived.

I'm willing to do anything for Chella.

What? -I mean Chinna.

Watch out!

My ancestors are from Virdhachallam.

Our beginnings were with this old, rickety cycle.

I came to the city in search of a livelihood.

I started my life as a construction mason.

Please, sit down. -Thank you, sir.

I'm a native of Thanjavur.

I too started off as a construction mason.

When did you both meet and develop a friendship?

One day, I was cycling through Adayar...

...he was waiting for a bus there.

When he saw me, he asked for a lift up to Mylapore.

I said okay, and started pedaling the cycle with him on it.

As we talked, we realized we were in the same profession.

So, he asked me, "Why don't we both join together and work?"

I said, "Okay, I'll be the brick, you be the cement."

That's how our friendship developed.

They toiled day and night, saving money to buy this land.

But they didn't have enough money to build a house.

That's why we built this hut and started our life here.

We mustn't forget our past, right?

That's why we've repaired and maintained this hut.

After buying this land, we got married.

He selected a bride for me and selected a bride for him.

We both got married on the same day at Vadapalani Temple.

God blessed us similarly with children too.

I have a son, and he has a son as well.

After finishing school, we started a construction business.

Using the initials of both our fathers, "Murugesan"...

...and "Chinnasamy", we named our company "M.C. Constructions".

With the blessings of God and our sincere efforts,...

...we built this house.

Since the day we were born, we've been living together,...

...so we have a brotherly affection between us.

We should never have any differences between us...

...that's why we have only one entrance to our houses.

Yes, as my brother said, we have no problems between us.

Even our children love each other very much.

We have a son and a daughter.

Our daughter's name is Sujatha.

My son-in-law is in Dubai, and this is my granddaughter.

My son's name is Chinna. -Chinna?

My name is Chinnasamy.

They named his grandson Chinna, after my name.

He isn't any less. My late wife's name is Chellamma.

He named his granddaughter after her.

We also have a son and a daughter.

Our son's name is Diwa, and our daughter's name is Chella.

He's Varadhan. -Hello.

He is our cook. -Welcome.

He's like my son. -Yes, I'm like a son to him,...

...but I don't have a son yet.

Sounds like he's the only sad person in this house.

How can I be happy?

There's an old nut always sleeping outside, isn't there?

Even if lightning struck him, he wouldn't hear it.

He's totally deaf.

He's my father-in-law! -Take it.

Thanks. -Serve it to him.

Thank you. -No, thank you. Serve others.

Who's she? -Kannika!

Kannika! Who's going t become my future ex-wife?

Since childhood, I have been working in this house,...

...and she in that house.

She's very God-fearing and always prays to God.

She doesn't know anything else other than prayers and rituals.

Thinking she's a pious woman, they all got me married to her.

Marriage night is something everyone experiences in life.

I had brought a lot of flowers for our marriage night, where are they?

Flowers are only for God. How can we touch them?

That's why I garlanded all the flowers to God's images.

That's okay, I've brought a dozen bananas, where are they?

When the flowers themselves are for God, can we touch the fruit?

That's why I've offered the fruits to God too.

No problem.

Your body is like a flower.

Your lips are fruit to me.

Come!

Come!

Dear, please don't touch me!

What's this restriction on the marriage night?

Come, I've read all available cheap books since I was six.

I've been in that mood since then.

Come! Come! -Don't touch me!

For that, you have to wait for 40 days.

40 days? -Yes.

If I get married, I've taken a vow to abstain...

...for 40 days as Goddess Durga. -Goddess Durga?

If she takes a vow on each Goddess, what will happen to my life?

That's why I've applied for a divorce.

The court has ordered us to live separately for a year.

Be quiet. -I'm quiet, aren't I, sir?

Stop talking about divorces. We can discuss and settle everything.

This dog is the most pampered child to all of us in this house.

It can't stay away for a minute from Chinna.

How can you all be so happy? -As far as this house...

...is concerned, even for the smallest wishes,...

...we do everything according to our grandchildren's wishes.

Their happiness is our happiness.

You're carrying a carrier your size, why are you bringing it?

Don't talk to him, he might drop it.

I've prepared Chettinad Chicken. -Thank you.

This moonlight dinner is going to be the best.

Stop bragging. First, taste the Chicken 65 I made and then decide.

Let's all eat first, and then we'll see who's best.

Let's see.

Hey, Pumpkin. Why are you sleeping?

Come on, get up. -Get lost.

Can't you see we're all working? -I can't see!

Come on, get up! Who's going to serve all this?

You're sleeping like a queen! -So troublesome.

Useless. -Give that to me.

After taking the trouble to prepare, we have to tear it apart.

Watch out.

Oh God.

Can everyone please keep quiet? -There he goes again.

Today, during the House Day function, we are eating peacefully.

But there's a little friction in our hearts.

Our unity is so well-known that it's the cover story of a magazine.

The reporter asked, "Isn't there anyone with a grievance...

...in this house? Not even one? He's surprised.

If he asks whether we are in total unity and harmony...

...we really have to admit, we are not.

We may take it nonchalantly...

...but how much does it affect a man's heart?

No, it's not right. We shouldn't do so.

I can't accept anyone sitting alone and weeping.

Chella, please talk to your father.

The incident happened in your childhood.

You're still brooding over it and not speaking to your father.

Is it fair, Chella?

Come on, talk, dear.

Sheesh, can't I even be happy on a function day.

Chella, come here.

Chella,...

...where's the pen I left here?

Am I not asking you where the pen is? Where is it?

I don't know, dad. -Are you lying after taking it?

Where have you kept it? -I didn't take it, dad.

Have you started lying too? Where have you kept it?

I don't know. -Am I not asking you?

Where have you kept it? -Dad, I didn't take it.

Dad, I keep telling you I didn't take it.

Why are you beating me? -Dear, please leave her alone.

Why are you beating her? Chella didn't take your pen.

He was the one who took it and broke it.

Chella. -Don't even mention my name, dad.

I hit you out of anger, I was feeling stressed.

Dad, didn't I tell you that I didn't take it?

You didn't believe me, did you?

You didn't believe me, did you? -Sorry, dear.

You didn't believe me, did you? -It's not like that.

Don't talk to me. -Chella.

Don't talk to me. Don't ever talk to me again.

Don't touch me. -Chella, dear. Chella!

What's the matter? -What do you mean by that?

Why did you leave the function and come here?

I got angry, so I left there in anger.

The incident happened when you were young...

...and now you're matured enough. Haven't you forgotten that?

I haven't forgotten.

Don't you have any sense? -No, I don't.

Are you crazy? -Yes.

Hey! Don't talk like a crazy girl. -I will.

No one can reform you. -Don't even try.

Chella, if you don't come and talk to your father now,...

...I'll never speak to you for the rest of my life.

I like what you said. You've said this many times before as well.

Buzz off! -Chella, I'm seriously.

Get lost, useless fellow. -Buzz off! Buzz off! Pumpkin!

Karna, who's he?

He's a villain to me.

He's not letting me get close to her.

I can only stand there if I push him out of the way.

I'll do it.

I'll get it done.

Idly?

What do you think of yourself?

Didn't I tell you not to read while eating?

Have you decided to ignore all our advice?

A girl shouldn't be so stubborn.

If you don't change your ways...

...you'll find it very difficult to live with your husband's family.

What are you staring at?

Just watch, everything I said will come true.

What did you say, senseless woman? Are you cursing her?

Are you cursing her?

She'll do whatever she wants to do.

If I ever see you hitting her again in front of me,...

...I'll kill you! Be careful!

I don't know how you've lived with such a man all these years.

He beat me for cursing you.

Even now, you can't recognize the love he has for you.

You can never be reformed.

Women like you, who support their husbands, can never change.

Leave my dhoti! Leave my dhoti!

Oh God! I'm in a fix now!

At least give me your dhoti, man.

What happened? You're sitting in front of the house half-naked.

I'm sunbathing below my waist. Who are you, man?

Did you not see the dog running off with my dhoti?

Do you have to behave like this when I'm come here with my wife...

...for the first time? -Hey, Ironer.

Is this woman your wife? Oh sinner! When did this marriage happen?

I went back to my hometown.

They said she's a good girl, very God-fearing and devoted.

I liked her, thinking that she would be helpful,...

...I married her and brought her here.

I'm going to meet boss and seek his blessings.

Go on. Go. You've made a mistake, Ironer.

Can you marry a God-fearing woman?

Do you want one? -No, thank you.

What are you looking at over there?

Did you see what's in that dustbin?

That mango plant will only live for another 2 or 3 hours.

It will be eaten by the passing cows or goats,...

...or the garbage collectors will uproot it while taking garbage.

Pity the plant.

These days, you seem to be sensitive about menial things.

I don't think it's right. -I also have feelings for you,...

...but you don't seem to care.

Hi, Chinna. -Hi.

Durai, get me a hoe from the canteen.

I thought you were the only crazy one,...

...but it looks like Chinna is crazy too.

Cut it out, will you?

Are you taking after Asokan? Why have you started planting plants?

Don't be silly, if it remains there, its life would end soon.

Are you giving life to the plant?

Here you go.

Here, take this towel. Some beggar may have thrown it.

Cut it out, will you? -Won't you give life to me too?

Why don't you lend me Rs 10,000? -Here, take this and make a living.

Bro. -You don't have sisters, do you?

Don't call me bro. Go on, tell me what's up.

Yukta Mukhi is at our college. Our college meets have gone there.

Yukta Mukhi is at our college? Come on, let's go and have a look.

No, I'm busy. You go ahead.

Are you really sure? Did you see her?

Don't lie, tell me the truth. -Like I said, I saw her.

Come on, let's go.

Where?

Hi. -Hi.

Chella, these are the photos taken during the House Day function.

Really? Give them to me.

Grandpa, grandma, Chinna's mom and dad.

Look at how Chinna is sitting!

Here are Tinko and Lena.

They're really nice.

We have never taken a photo together as a family.

This is the first time, you know. Anyway, thank you.

How do you take such beautiful photos?

What's so surprising? If you capture beautiful things,...

...the photos will be beautiful. -If so, I'm beautiful,...

...and my photos are beautiful.

But even Chinna looks handsome. That's shocking!

He looks like a hero, doesn't he?

It felt like you took lots of photos of me the other day,...

...but I didn't see many.

There are a few photos that I haven't developed yet.

Chella, your family and how happy they are makes me feel envious.

That's why I went to the temple and prayed for your family.

I also got an auspicious ring for you. Will you wear it?

Give it to me. It's an auspicious ring, isn't it?

Thanks. Bye.

Geetha! Geetha! Won't you tell me you love me?

Get lost, will you? -Just tell me you love me.

Will you shut up -Thiva! Thiva!

Please tell her -Just ignore him.

Thiva! Thiva! -Be quiet, will you?

Excuse me, do you know final year student named Thivakar?

We don't know, sir.

Not this. -Chinna, where is Chella?

I've been looking for her too.

Chinna! Chinna!

Come here. Come with me. -What's up?

Just a minute. -Why do you look so anxious?

What happened? -I kissed...

...the police officer's daughter. -Police officer's daughter?

Why did you do that?

Do you know a final year student named Thivakar?

We don't know, sir.

Go on. Go. Don't worry, I'll handle it. Go.

Why is everyone telling me they don't know? What's going on here?

Sir, I'm Thivakar. -The police officer's daughter?

Useless fellow! How dare you kiss the police officer's daughter...

...in the middle of the road? What were you thinking?

I didn't do it intentionally. -What do you mean,...

...not intentionally? -Please listen to me, sir.

The students are looking at us, sir. It's embarrassing.

So? -Let's go to the police station...

...and talk about it, sir. -Go to the police station...

...and talk about it? Talk about it? I will talk!

Get into the jeep! Get into the jeep!

Chella, how could Chinna do this? -What happened?

He kissed a police officer's daughter in the middle of the road.

What are you blabbering about?

Not me. The police dragged him into the jeep at the college entrance.

It was so pitiful. -I'm sure Chinna didn't do it.

Chella!

How dare you! How dare you!

Inspector. -Who are you?

Forget about who I am. Do you know that he was the one who kissed...

...the inspector's daughter? -I know.

How do you know? -He confessed.

Tell me the truth, did you kiss her?

Yes, I did.

No, you're lying. I'm sure you didn't do it.

I did it. Why did you come here now?

You are lying. I know.

Constable, send this girl out.

Uncle, look what happened. -I heard what happened.

I am here to bail him out. Durai, bring Chella out.

I'll have a chat with the inspector before I come.

Inspector, I'll write a letter of apology for what happened.

Durai, I know that you know he wouldn't do it.

Why don't you tell me? Would Chinna ever do that?

Chinna wouldn't, but your brother Thiva would.

What are you staring at? Chinna confessed to your brother's...

...mistake and got arrested.

This case involves influential people.

I was pressured by my superiors to take severe action.

Please ensure this doesn't happen again.

You may take him back. -Thank you.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go. Let's go.

Chinna.

How could you be born into this family and do such...

...a despicable act? How dare you? How dare you?

He made a mistake. Let it go.

I will make mistakes. Who are you to question me?

What did you ask? How dare you ask such a question?

How dare you? Just because he didn't want you to get...

...bashed at the police station, his son took the blame...

...and got beaten because of you. He disregarded his self-respect...

...and dignity and accepted his son's kind actions.

How dare you question him? You are no longer my son.

Don't ever face me again. Get out.

Let it go.

If his father finds out, he'll take a gun and shoot him.

You are at fault, madam.

You only show concern for Chella all the time.

Have you ever been concerned about Thivakar?

That's why he acted out, hoping you'd notice him.

If you show him equal love, he will repent.

Thiva, there is so much more you need to achieve in life.

Just because we didn't have a proper educational background...

...in the construction business,...

...your father and I faced much humiliation.

We had big dreams.

We wanted to build mansions, hospitals, and hotels.

We approached Wellington Group and many other reputable companies.

Despite our years of experience, I was merely seen as a mason.

However, you will not face the same fate.

You have a strong background.

You have the wealth that allows you the opportunity to study overseas.

We have big dreams for you.

I hit you only because I didn't want you to take the wrong path.

Please don't take it to heart.

Your success is our happiness.

I didn't expect this to happen in our family.

My heart skipped a beat,...

...I was worried something unwarranted would happen.

Whatever it is, Thivakar should not have said that to Arunachalam.

Nevertheless, Arunachalam was very diplomatic about it.

I'm so proud of him. -It's no big deal.

We should always be concerned about each other's pain and be tolerant.

That's the true meaning of family.

How can you say it's no big deal?

Chinna was trashed severely at the police station.

Despite that, he did not rat on Thivakar.

I'm so proud of Chinna.

I'm feeling sleepy, grandma. -Go and sleep dear.

Good morning. -Good morning, sir.

I remember seeing him somewhere.

Who is he? -He is our professor.

Why don't you at least attend class today?

I will attend class for you today.

Students, did you see the paper? -I did.

The father-in-law who desired his daughter-in-law...

...was killed by his son.

I was referring to The Hindu. There is an important announcement in it.

Not only that, our college has also received a circular.

A seven-star hotel will be built in Chennai by the Wellington Group.

They have requested presentation drawings for the project.

Every student in this class should participate in this competition.

Time is limited for participation.

So, start working on it immediately.

We don't even know how to design a bathroom.

Why does the professor want us to design a seven-star hotel?

Pity him, he has immense hopes for us

Chinna, we need to learn. -That sounds impossible.

Look at how he's sleeping, not even listening to the professor.

There is no one as lazy as he is in this world.

Even if he gets married, he might find a girl who is pregnant.

He is that lazy. Get up!

Chinna, I'm serious. This is a huge opportunity for us.

Despite your father's experience, the Wellington Group only sees...

...him as a mason. You heard how heartbroken your father was, right?

Please, Chinna, let's not miss this opportunity.

This is our chance to make our family proud.

If you put your mind to it, we can achieve it.

Don't we have anything better to do?

Geetha, what's in your head? -The same thing in your head.

Looking at the beautiful rose on your head,...

...he thought there was healthy soil in it.

You're absolutely right. -Why come to class? How annoying!

Fine, we will leave. Come on, let's go.

Okay, bye. -Geetha, do you want to join us?

Get lost. -I'll get you a meal.

Where are the prayer items? -They're with me.

Potti, have you filled up the petrol for the cars?

I have, sir.

It's full, isn't it? -Yes, it is.

They don't fill up the petrol tanks, but their stomachs.

Where is my wife? -I'm here.

What are you doing inside the booth?

I was arranging the luggage. -Here, arrange this too.

Have you loaded all the luggage? -Yes, I have loaded the luggage.

I have a very old item, and I don't know what to do with it.

Let's see if you can fit it in, or just leave out.

Great idea. -Will you cut it out?

Dad, get into the van. -Yes, everyone, get in.

Chinna, which car are you coming in?

I'm not coming. -Not coming?

We received the opportunity to make this family proud.

Even if not for my father, because you told me to,...

...I must make it happen.

I'm going to start the design work for the Wellington hotel.

So, I'm not coming.

Mother, I'm not going to the temple either.

Why? -I will stay back and help Chinna.

Whatever, it's your wish.

Chinna, she won't be of help. She will only be a disturbance.

She doesn't even know how to boil water.

She would expect to have coffee in bed.

After eating breakfast, she wouldn't even wash her plate.

You need to take care of her.

May God guide you. -Cut it out, will you?

We have pampered Chella, and that's the reason.

Please don't do any chores until we come back.

Okay, aunty. -Let her take care of the chores.

Sure, I will manage, aunty. You should make a move.

I have no idea who manufactured the car,...

...but I'm going to pray for its well-being.

What are you doing? Oh no!

You swallowed fire? -That's not fire.

Then what is it? -It's a blessing.

You are crazy. Do you even have any brains?

How dare you disrespect me.

I have been possessed by the Goddess.

It looks like you have been possessed by Prabhu Deva.

Stop kidding. -I'm not kidding.

The Goddess wants a feast. -How can we have a feast...

...when we are going out now? We can have a feast along the way.

Stop kidding. -If you're really the goddess,...

..you need to show me graphics. -Graphics? What does that mean?

Yes, in movies, there are special effects that portray goddesses.

Show that to me. -I'm no longer possessed.

If I ask too many questions, the Goddess runs away.

Perhaps, she's Escaping Amman. I'll break a coconut for her.

Have you collected all the details? -I didn't get all the details.

I have collected some information from the website.

Every country has a different construction design.

We need to order that first.

What happened? Did you prick your finger?

Nothing. -Show me your hand.

Show me your hand, I said.

Uncle only said that you don't know how to cook.

Now I know, you know nothing.

Hey. -What? Just be quiet.

Chella, why are you wearing this ring? Remove it.

Don't remove it. Karna gave it to me.

He told me not to take it off.

Anyway, don't worry about it. Get to work.

I'll do the cooking. -Yes, I'm so hungry.

Make it fast. -Sure, don't be so hasty.

Chella, apply some medication to your finger.

Sure.

Didn't you sleep at all? -No, I just finished the job.

You completed it? -Yes, how is it?

Excellent. -Is it nice?

Of course.

Chinna!

Come on, let's go.

Chella, hold my bag.

Have you made a copy of the designs?

Yes, I have.

What are you doing? We are already late.

Just once. If I throw the ball into the basket,...

...our design will surely be selected.

How about three chances? -No, only one.

Chinna, I'm scared. -Have confidence, okay?

Yes!

Okay, go.

Sir, this is the main building.

There is a total of 14 floors with 300 rooms.

There will be a porch on the ground floor.

The car park would be on the left side.

A total of 250 cars can be parked here.

As we go in, the lobby would be in European style.

This side would be in Oriental style.

What do you think? The back side would be...

...the administration office. -Excellent.

I didn't expect yo to be so talented.

Now that you know, what are you going to do?

As your principal, I'll tell you that your design is 100% okay.

Thank you, sir. -All the best, Chinna.

Not 100%, we are 200% okay

I've never seen such a wonderful design in my life.

Mr. Chinna's principal has also recommended him.

In fact, we don't need anyone's recommendation to approve your...

...son's design, it speaks for itself.

Thank you, sir.

Your son has requested us to give you this construction contract.

We must honour him. -Therefore, we would...

...like to grant you the contract for building this hotel.

Sir, thank you for securing a contract with the Wellington Group.

We tried our best to secure this contract back then,...

...but we didn't get it.

The reason you have secured the contract this time is...

...because of your son's design.

All the best. -Thank you, sir.

Good luck.

Chinna! Chinna!

Where is Chinna?

Chinna! -Yes, uncle?

Chinna, our ambition, dream and goal have been fulfilled by you.

It's so good to hear. -What do you mean, uncle?

Before this, Chinna was known as my son.

From now on, I will be known as Chinna's father.

I don't understand what you mean, Dad.

Your design has been approved by the company.

Yes, it's not a big deal that they selected your design to build...

...the hotels.

They have granted us the construction contract.

That's great news!

Once upon a time, they humiliated us.

Now, they have invited us and granted us the contract.

As our son, you have made us proud.

Why are you only congratulating Chinna?

Chella is the reason he responsibly came up with the designs.

Chella is the one who helped him recognize his own talents.

First, go and thank her.

Grandson!

Looks like you're really excited.

Grandpa, I'm in love with a girl.

Is that so? Does the girl know that you are in love with her?

No, you're the first person I'm telling.

You are expressing your love to the wrong person.

What's the point of telling me? Go and tell the girl first.

I'm scared to tell her, Grandpa.

Can there be any girl in this world who doesn't like you?

Why are you scared?

Gather some courage and express your love.

Just like this. -Thanks, Grandpa.

Chella, this is my mother. -Vanakkam, aunty.

Karna has told us a lot about you.

We're happy to welcome you.

As far as I know, Karna now has a circle of good friends.

Only after Karna befriended Chinna, you have come to our house.

Karna is a paternal orphan and his sister has attained puberty now.

You must advice him. -Don't worry, aunty.

Chinna will take care of it. Chinna won't allow Karna...

...to get in trouble. -Okay. The customs would...

...be over soon. Make sure you stay and eat before you leave.

Sure, aunty. -Welcome.

Photographer, don't just photograph me. Photograph everyone else too.

Geetha, did you see Chella. -Chella is not back from...

...Karna's house. -I'm sure she'll be back soon.

There's no hurry. -Did you call me?

No, nothing. You're late for class. -Bye.

Grandpa told me to have courage but I have no idea how to start.

Chella, I love you, Chella.

I love you, Chella.

Isn't that awkward?

How else do I say it?

Chella, should we get married?

Shall we have 10 to 15 kids?

You can take care of the family while I manage the business.

Would she even accept me?

Do you have any sense?

You're supposed to confess your love,...

...not propose marriage and kids!

I'm so confused.

Okay, let's say this bike is Chella.

Instead of saying "I love you", what if I just hold her hand?

And if I hold her hand, what will she say?

How many times have I held her hand already?

She's not going to get it that way.

What if I hold her hand and kiss it?

What's wrong with you?

Hey, mind your own business. Get lost, I'm in a dilemma.

Don't kiss the exhaust!

Chinna is really something.

He won the competition because of me.

You seem really enthusiastic about Chinna.

Tell me the truth. You're in love, aren't you?

Have you confessed your love to Chinna?

Chinna loves you too, right? -Yes.

Did he confess his love to you?

No. -No?

Why don't you two confess your love to each other?

It's not like you're just meeting for the first time,...

...like other lovers.

If that were the case, maybe I'd say, "I love you."

But we've been together since the day we were born.

We've been friends all along, and now we're in love.

Besides, he knows I love him,...

...and I know he loves me.

Why should we need to confess to each other?

Chella.

Let's go eat.

I have to attend a relative's wedding. I'll head out now, okay?

Please don't mind.

I already ate at home. I'll be heading out too, okay?

Wait, I'll drop you off. Let me just put away my camera.

Okay.

Shall we go?

Chella, can you do me a favour? -What is it?

My sister really likes the ring you're wearing.

I want to make the same one for her.

Can you give it to me as a model?

Why take it as a model? -Take it as a gift from me.

Give it to your sister.

But..... -Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Karna, stop. -Chella.

I need to talk to you about something important.

It's late, I need to get to class.

Just 2 minutes. -I'll talk to you at home.

Oh, I forgot to ask. Did the function at your house go well?

Yes, it did. Everyone attended, and mother was really happy.

Chinna, I need to tell you something important.

What's the matter?

I can't believe if what's happening is real or just a dream.

What's her status, and what's mine?

It feels like we're not equals.

I'm nothing compared to her.

How silly am I, telling you all this without getting to the point.

Chinna, Chella is in love with me.

You can't believe it, right? Even I can't believe it.

I told her this wouldn't work out, but she refuses to listen to me.

Look, she even gave me a ring as a symbol of her love.

I gave her a copper ring to show her my status but she wears it...

...all the time and refuses to take it off.

When we have a function at my house she comes and helps out sincerely.

She rides on the bike with me.

When I tell her that everyone can see us,...

...she says she wants everyone to see us.

Chinna, I'm just an ordinary guy.

When a girl like Chella is interested in me,...

...how long can I ignore her?

Even though I'm afraid this might not become reality,...

...I'm losing my heart to her.

I have nothing in life, and she is like a treasure to me.

Without her, I don't know if I could survive.

Chinna, if there's ever a problem in our love, you must help us.

Hey, if there is a problem in our love, you have to help us.

Will you do it?

Thanks.

Why are you jealous?

Why are you jealous?

Knowing that Chella isn't yours, feeling jealous of Karna is wrong.

It's wrong.

Despicable.

Why are you acting like an ordinary person?

Move on.

You like Chella, don't you? You like her, right?

Then you should also like the person Chella likes.

Chella loves Karna.

So, you should like Karna too.

Chella's happiness is more important than your love.

Yes, her happiness is more important.

Chella, where are you going?

Chinna is going to Bombay tomorrow, right?

Is it for the Wellington construction project?

Yes, I'm thinking of getting him a gift.

That's why I want to go shopping. -Great, I'll come with you.

Chella, come here.

Chinna is right there, and if he sees us,...

...he'll ask where we're going.

It would be great to surprise him with the gift.

So, let's try to sneak out before he notices.

Good idea. -Come on, let's go.

It's been 2 hours, and after searching every nook and cranny...

...of this store, you still can't decide what to get.

I've already bought him everything for his birthday, Deepavali,...

...and Pongal. I'm trying to find something special now,...

...but I don't know what to get.

What do you think of this watch? -Is a watch really a special gift?

No, but every time Chinna looks at it, he'll think of me

This colour looks good, but the other shade is nice too.

Yes. -Take whichever one you like.

Here, ask them to pack this. I'll be right back.

You're Auntie Pushpa, right? -Yes.

You're Narmada's daughter, Chella, aren't you?

How are you, dear? -I'm fine, Auntie.

We were just talking about her, weren't we?

How's your mother? -She's doing well.

Please come visit us. -Sure, aunty.

Even if you don't invite us, we'll definitely come by your house.

We're leaving for Bombay tomorrow,...

...but we'll stop by your house before we go.

Send my regards to your mother. -Okay, Auntie.

Bye. -Bye.

Looks like you've found a daughter-in-law.

Can I have a pen?

Karna. Chella.

Die, Chinna.

Please pack this.

Thank you. -You're welcome.

Who were they? Family friends.

I've seen them when I was young.

Come on, let's go.

Hi Chinna. -Hi.

I didn't get you anything after you won the competition,...

...so since you're going to Bombay tomorrow, I got you a gift.

Thanks. -How can you just say thanks?

Do you even know what's in it? It's a watch!

You're such a blabbermouth! Why must you spill everything?

Keep it to yourself.

You asked the professor for notes and went missing.

He's been waiting for you for a long time.

Move.

Bye, Chinna.

Open it.

Do you know how many stores we went in and out of to get it for you?

I told her not to write my name, but she wouldn't listen.

She said, "You're going to know about us one day anyway,"...

...so she told me to write both our names together.

You don't have a nice watch, do you? Here, take it.

No, it's your gift.

You should keep it. -Thanks.

Okay, thanks. The train is about to leave. You should go.

Chella, you should go.

Can you ask the others to leave? I want to talk to you personally.

Talk to me personally?

We understand. Just give us our vacation money, and we'll leave.

Vacation money? -Yes, the money you give...

...when you go on vacation. What do you think?

Here you go.

I pray to God that you go on vacation more often.

Chinna, I'll make a move too. -Karna, be here.

Divide the money among all of us.

"If I split this money, we'll only get Rs 100 per person."

I need to get rid of them. -Give us the money!

Sir, he didn't buy the platform ticket. You should arrest him.

So I did, sir, please believe me.

Rs 200 for me and the remaining Rs 300 for the three of you.

Divide it among yourselves.

Chinna, you're wearing the watch I got for you,...

...but you didn't say how it is?

Your selection has never been wrong.

If you've chosen something, how can I not like it too?

I like whatever you like.

Chinna, you must always think of me whenever you see the watch.

I'm talking to you, and you're just silent.

Hold on, I'm was there too.

Why don't you say he should remember us?

For the first time, you're going without me.

Before you go, I.....

When you come back, I want to tell you something important.

About? -What else? About marriage.

Cut it out, will you? It's not that.

Why are you hiding it from Chinna

Our families are asking when the wedding is.

Tell him, Chella. Even yesterday, the person we met in the store...

...asked us, didn't he?

Chella, let's talk once we are back.

See you, Chella. See you, Karna.

Okay, bye.

Chinna.

Chinna, just a minute.

Chinna!

When will you come back?

When you're back,...

...I want to confess my love you.

I love you, Chinna.

Is Rajashekar in? I would like to meet Rajashekar.

I'm a little deaf Can you speak louder?

Is Rajashekar in?

I can hear sound but I don't understand.

Vanakkam, sir. -I would like to meet Rajashekar.

Why are you shouting, sir?

Did you think I was deaf?

Mr. Rajashekar is inside, you can see him.

It's your move next.

No, wait a moment.

Check.

Fantastic. -I've caught you.

It's been 45 years since you last caught me.

Bring the children in.

Who are they? -Don't you recognize me?

Still don't recognize me? -Even if I forget you,...

...how could I forget your laugh? You have such a distinct laugh.

You're Pushpa, right?

Welcome. Please have a seat. -You too, please sit.

How are you? -I'm fine.

It's been so long since we last met.

My daughter told me she met you at the store.

Yes, we met her.

Did you forget about us after settling down in America?

No, it's not like that. I've always wanted to come visit...

...you all, but I hardly find the time.

My husband has two wives,...

...one is me, and the other is his business.

That's true, but the second wife doesn't give me any trouble.

Don't put me on the spot. I'm sorry.

How many children do you have?

I have only one son, and he's a computer engineer.

Are you wondering why we're here?

The main reason for our visit is to find a bride for my son.

Thank you.

We're looking for a bride for him.

So, madam, you've come all the way from America.

Please take the blessings of Goddess Kadanariamman.

Sure, please give me some.

We had hoped our son would find a girlfriend and introduce her to us.

But he insisted on marrying a girl from India who knows our culture.

We are looking for a kind and gentle woman.

We searched everywhere, but we couldn't find anyone.

When you don't find what you're looking for, where do you go?

To the temple.

We prayed to God for a gentlewoman for our son,...

..and on our way back, we met your daughter.

Your daughter can marry my son, and my son can marry your daughter.

Why is everyone so quiet?

Shall I get straight to the point?

I'm here to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage for my son.

You must be happy, but you don't look happy.

This is so sudden, I don't understand.

Stay calm. -What don't you understand?

There's no problem. -There's no rush.

We will ask our son to come down next month so you can meet him.

If you like him... -Why even ask if?

You will definitely like him.

He is handsome and strong.

We will take our leave for now.

Please think it over and let us know your decision.

See you. Goodbye.

What's going on here? Is he out of his mind?

How old is Chella now?

Is she even of marriageable age?

Since they came all the way to India and we know them,...

...we welcomed them, but now they're asking for...

...our daughter's hand in marriage.

Why did you laugh? -Why are you causing chaos?

Her friend Pushpa, remember her husband who loves scaring people?

What a useless fellow. Do you know what he did?

He's asking for Chella's hand in marriage for his son.

Chella is still so young.

As parents, our children always seem very young.

Only when someone proposes marriage do we remember...

...that they are of marriageable age.

It's a proposal that has come to us, let's not reject it.

Let's investigate and see.

What more is there to investigate?

They are Narmada's friends, and the groom is their only child.

He has studied computer engineering.

Even if we look for such a groom, we might not find anyone better.

It's best to finalize this proposal.

Mother, Grandpa is right.

Why don't we finalize this proposal for Chella?

No. Pushpa is my friend, but still.....

Let's not make the decision ourselves, let us ask Chella.

You're right. Chella! Chella!

Look how he's calling her.

Chella! -Coming, grandpa.

Yes, grandpa? Did you call me? -Yes, I did.

Chella, at the store the other day.....

Yes, I know, I heard what happened.

What do you think, dear? Tell us your opinion.

Shall I tell you how I feel? -Chella, there is no obligation.

Just say what you feel.

For two generations, our families have been friends,...

...why shouldn't we become relatives?

What is she saying? What did she say?

Don't you get it, you fool?

She is suggesting that we become in-laws.

How did we not think about that all along?

How could you think about it, fool? -Did you call me a fool too?

China said he was in love with someone the other day.

But I didn't expect it to be Chella.

Do you think he would have confessed his love for Chella?

Do you think Chella would agree if China hadn't confirmed?

You should have thought about this the other day itself.

But I have to say this, despite your age, you have no brains.

Not at all. -You both cut it out!

Chella has given her consent. Let's look into the details.

In-law, when is the groom coming back from Bombay?

He is coming tomorrow morning.

So let's fix the engagement for tomorrow.

Why do we need to hurry?

We shouldn't delay auspicious occasions.

My wife over there, while I'm over here.

There were two ducks in this house when I got married.

Now, I don't know what they did,...

...but there are about 10 to 15 ducks here.

Yet, I'm still living the single life.

Varadha! -Yes, sir? You're here.

What are you rambling about all alone?

What else can I do but ramble?

My wife and I can't seem to connect.

Why don't you find another partner? -That sounds troublesome.

Why don't you just be alone? -That sounds impossible.

I'm asking for a solution, and you're just being ridiculous.

This isn't like asking for directions!

Why not? -Don't make me smack you.

Why? -Is this how you talk to elders?

Maathrubootham is elderly too, but don't we clear things with him?

Why can't you clear my doubts when I ask?

I pity you. -Yes, sir.

Why don't you have a heart-to-heart with her?

How can I talk to her about anything?

Why don't I talk to her for you instead?

You shouldn't.

If you don't want us to talk, why not write her a letter?

What should I write in the letter and give to her?

Maybe I could pass it to her on your behalf.

No, don't do that.

What's your problem? You don't seem to agree to anything.

She is your wife, right? -That's what people say.

Just go kiss her! -How can I kiss her?

Do you want me to do it?

How can you say such a thing in the middle of the night?

I'm sorry, it was just a slip of the tongue.

It's because of all these slips of the tongue...

...that your thoughts are slipping!

But you've given me a good idea, so I'm going to go execute it now.

See you!

Your husband is suffering,...

...and here you are having a peaceful time.

Today is my day.

Useless woman, what have you done!

I wanted to kiss you, but you made me bleed!

Why do you have a receipt spike in your mouth?

Does this look like a receipt spike to you?

What is it, then? -I made a vow to Lord Muruga,...

...and I've pierced his "vel" on my tongue.

Hail Lord Muruga!

You made my mouth bleed, and you expect blessings?

Hail Lord Muruga.

I'm bleeding because of you, and you think you can be happy?

Don't make me smack you.

I've made a vow to Lord Muruga, how can you even come close to me?

Did I come by myself?

The old man gave me the idea and sent me here.

Please forgive me for my mistake.

You've committed a serious offense.

What did I do? -It's a divine mistake.

From now on, we won't be blessed with a child.

Please don't say that!

For what you've done, you must sing a song.

A song? What song?

Shush! What are you singing?

You're supposed to sing a devotional song!

A devotional song?

What song are you singing? -Aunagirinathar.

Why did you make such a sudden decision?

Chella has decided to express her love for China.

If I stay silent any longer, I'll be cheated.

Soon, Chella will be here.

Once she's here,...

...I'll give her the Coke,...

...and I'll drink the Fanta.

After she drinks it,...

...we'll both lose consciousness.

Hello, Rajashekar. -It's Karna, uncle.

I need to speak to Chella.

Can you let Chella know she has a call?

Chella! -Yes, Mother?

There's a call for you.

Hello? -Chella, it's Karna.

I need to talk to you about something important.

Can you come to my studio for half an hour?

Are you serious? Don't you know?

China and I are getting engaged today.

What are you saying? How could you not tell me?

All our friends know about it. I thought they would've told you.

We're at the train station to pick up China.

Did you mess up the plan? -Stop it.

Hello? Karna?

Hello, Karna?

Yes, Chella? Tell me.

What happened? -Nothing, go ahead.

China doesn't know about the engagement yet.

I didn't tell him because I wanted it to be a surprise.

He'll be shocked when he gets back.

Don't tell him, okay? -He will definitely be shocked.

Don't worry about it. Anyway, best of luck.

What happened?

I won't be betrayed!

I won't let myself be betrayed, that's final!

This engagement shouldn't happen!

It won't happen! China will stop this engagement!

I clean other people's beds, but I can't even make use of my own.

Isn't there anyone in this house who cares about me?

Varadhan, can you step out for a moment?

The engagement hasn't even happened yet,...

...and you're already in China's room?

Please. -Will you clean the phone?

Isn't she just so humble?

Hey, Chinna.

This is the last time I'll be calling you hey.

After this, I won't be able to call you like that anymore.

So, I'm going to say it as much as I want.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey? Seems like my wife is better than her.

This is such a rude kind of love.

How can a wife call her soon-to-be husband hey before marriage?

Be quiet, or I'll walk away like you.

Grandma! -Come, dear.

We've bought new clothes for our staff for your the engagement.

Why don't you hand them out?

We've been waiting for you for so long. Hurry up and give them out.

Why don't you give him a pair of pants and a shirt?

Why bother with pants and a shirt?

If you want to have it that way, hand them to your father.

Look how lazy he is. Even with all this going on,...

...he's just sleepin during such an auspicious event.

Just give me the vesti, it's more comfortable

That's not the reason I suggested it.

It's because the dogs seem to have an eye on your vesti.

How could you embarrass me in front of everyone like this?

I'll deal with you later.

Please come and collect your clothes.

Hand them out quickly. Afterward, we need to go to the temple.

Where is your wife? -She's no more.

What do you mean by that? -She's was naive.

I thought I would be her whole world,...

...so I married her and brought her here.

But instead of choosing me, wearing a vesti,...

...she preferred others in pants, riding motorbikes.

She betrayed me and left with another man.

Why be sad over someone who has left you?

It's foolish to mourn someone who didn't appreciate your love.

You should forget her and find happiness for yourself.

"Attention all passengers. The train from Mumbai to Chennai...

...will be arriving at platform number 5."

Hey, Karna. -Come, I've been waiting for you.

Hey, how have you been?

Did you come alone? Didn't anyone else come?

The others are here too.

Hey, what's wrong?

What happened? -Nothing.

Come on, tell me.

I didn't want to tell you anything.

All I know is defeat in life.

I don't have the courage to face another one.

What are you talking about? I don't understand.

Please, don't ask me anything.

Don't ask.

Karna, I'm here for you. Just tell me.

Chinna, today is your engagement with Chella.

Buddy, let's go.

What are you rambling about?

While you were away, both your families discussed...

...and made the decision. -Didn't Chella say anything?

She did. She told me to take photographs at the engagement.

That's my fate, I guess.

What's my fault to not understand it and build dreams.

When I refused to fall in love, she refused to listen to me.

Now she says she's getting engaged.

I have to listen to her, don't I?

Hi, Chinna! Just look at him,...

...doesn't he look like the groom already?

Where's the car? -It's at the entrance.

Did you tell him everything? At the speed he's going,...

...he might just have his wedding night tonight.

Chinna! Chinna!

Welcome, groom! How are you doing?

Sounds like quite the grand welcome.

Why not? Things are different now.

Our relationship has changed.

Am I really getting engaged to Chella?

Oh, they told you already?

Does Chella know about this?

She doesn't know.

She doesn't know anything, and you're acting like...

...you don't either. Stop pretending.

Chella, look over there.

Come on, China. Your groom is here, and after this, you won't care...

...about us anymore. We'll wait for you downstairs. Let's go.

Chella, do you know what's going on?

I know, but I didn't want you to know.

How could you agree to this?

What could I do?

It's not like they asked for my permission...

...before making all these plans.

They didn't ask for your consent?

No, they just made a decision and set everything in motion.

I'll just have to marry you and live with you...

...for the rest of my life. What choice do I have?

Maybe you can live with it, but what about Karna?

Have you thought about Karna, who spends his life thinking about you?

Tell me, Chella, have you thought about him?

You can't even take off the ring he gave you,...

...but how could you throw him out of your heart?

You wrote "Karna and Chella" on the gift you gave me,...

...so how could you erase his name from your heart?

Chinna! -What?

Enough! Stop it!

What are you even talking about?

Just because I wear the ring Karna gave me, does that mean it's love?

He told me he prayed for me at the temple and gave it to me,...

...so I wore it.

Sheesh. Ever since we started walking side by side,...

...we've been together.

How could you question my love like this?

Is that all you understand about my heart?

Karna..... -No matter what anyone says.

But how could you believe it?

Even if I came and told you I loved Karna,...

...you shouldn't believe me.

You're not my Chinna anymore.

You're not the Chinna I know.

The moment you doubted me, you lost the right to face me again.

Chella, please listen. -Buzz off!

Chella! Chella!

Mother!

Chella. -Chella, don't cry.

Let me explain. -Don't talk to me!

This foolish boy, more than she's ever called anyone's name,...

...she's called yours.

How could you ever doubt Chella?

That's enough, why are you yelling?

How could I not?

Do you expect me to just sit here and watch silently?

Your son is worthless! -Please don't scream.

Go inside.

Why are you getting so worked up now?

What do you expect him to do?

If your daughter was about to get engaged and was suspected...

...of having another boyfriend, would you just accept it?

Hey! -Grandpa, be quiet.

Listen, you may lack self-respect and dignity,...

...but we aren't like that.

We don't accept such things.

Please, let's not make this worse.

How dare you lecture us after what's been said?

Get out! I said get out! -Hands off!

That's how he talks! -Please, have some patience.

Patience? After insulting my daughter,...

...none of you deserve to be here.

You're only stopping my son, but have you questioned your own?

Why are you drawing lines between my son and your son?

Aren't we different? Do you expect us to just give in?

Get out! -How can you be so disrespectful?

Disrespectful? I said get out!

Chinna! Chinna! -Chinna, let go of him!

Get out!

Chinna, why did you do this?

How could you say that?

Don't just run your mouth when you don't understand me.

How could you suspect Chella?

I don't suspect Chella, I love her dearly.

I just want her to have the life she truly desires.

I thought she was being forced into this marriage.

Why don't any of you understand me?

Goodness gracious, listen to this.

Listen to how much she loves you.

Listen to it!

"Chinna, this will be the last time I call you "hey".

"After this, I won't be able to anymore."

"So, I'm going to call you 'hey' as much as I like."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

"Chinna, when will you come home?"

"When you come home,...

...I want to express the love I've had for you all these years."

"A girl first tells her love to her lover,...

...then her friends,...

...and only after that to her parents."

"But for me, it happened in reverse."

"When you return,...

...the wedding decorations at the entrance will show you...

...how much I love you.

"You'll walk in, see me,...

...and I'll blush just looking at you."

"I'll be waiting for that moment, Chinna."

"Come home soon."

Karna!

Why did he betray me? -Chinna.

Why did he betray me? -Chinna.

Why did he betray me? -Chinna.

Why did he betray me?

Have I ever betrayed anyone? -No, Chinna. Never.

Then why did he betray me? I'm going to kill him!

Chinna, don't! Chinna, listen to me!

Chinna! Chinna! Don't be hasty!

Hey, Karna!

Betrayer!

What's your problem? Are you angry?

I'm sure you stopped the engagement.

I know Chela very well.

Only if I get rid of you can I take your place.

Get lost, will you?

Hey! You can kid around as you wish,...

...but don't kid when it comes to love.

Useless fellow!

Chella! Chella!

Thiva, where is Chella? Is she in there?

She doesn't want to see you. -Let me go in.

Get out! -I want to talk to Chella.

Chella, I'm here to see you. Chella! Chinna here!

Get out! -Let go of me!

Chella, I'm sorry. Karna is to be blamed for this confusion.

He confused me, Chella.

He confused me!

Chella, I trashed the daylights out of him!

He doesn't know the difference between love and friendship!

Do you know the difference? -Chella?

You suspected the friendshi I had for him as love, didn't you?

Chella, Karna cheated me. -I was deceived.

I trusted you, and I got cheated, Chinna.

Please get out of here. -Chella!

Get out of here.

Didn't you hear her? Get out of here!

I'll break your legs if you come again!

I've brought your laundry, madam. -Keep it there. I'll come.

Two of grandma's sarees,...

...one jippa, four of young boss's vesti,...

...four of big boss's vesti,...

...3 of the kids clothes.

Madam, I made a mistake.

What's the mistake?

Grandpa wore the other family's jippa.

Why are you wearing his jippa? -His jippa?

Useless fellow! How did you get it wrong?

What happened, madam?

Did you see what happened? It's not like we just met.

They've known each other for the past 40 years.

I asked him why he was wearing his friend's jippa,...

...and he got so angry about it.

Why didn't he just ask what was wrong with it?

He removed the jippa as if it was disgusting.

What's the matter, dear? Why do you look so upset?

Don't I know which is his jippa and which is mine?

I'm so sad that I can neither see him nor talk to him.

I was hoping I could at least wear his clothes.

Our daughter-in-law asked me why I was wearing his jippa.

I didn't want to cause problems,...

...so I removed the jippa and threw it away.

Every morning, I wake up to see him.

I only go to bed after seeing him.

How could we just cut our ties with each other?

I just can't take it.

You have ironed all the other clothes so well.

But why is this jippa crumpled? -Why bother asking?

I went to the other family to give their laundry.

Your friend accidentally wore your jippa.

Madam Narmada questioned him why he wore your jippa.

So he removed it and threw it down.

That's why it's crumpled.

I'll go and iron it again.

Doesn't he know which is his jippa...

...and which is mine before wearing it?

Why must he wear it and then remove it?

Don't you think I have any dignity to wear...

...the jippa that he wore and removed?

I'd rather throw this jippa away than ever worry about it again.

Just destroy it.

The next time you come,...

...you better bring our clothes separately.

Don't bring them together. -Okay, sir.

This jippa has caused so much chaos.

I should have just ironed it before bringing it here.

Please check if your laundry is all here.

Chinnasamy, you wore this jippa.

You wore my jippa?

I missed witnessing it.

Have you started scribbling because you got nothing better to do?

Can't you see me drawing? -Why?

I'm drawing a mausoleum for you.

Hi, Durai. -Hi, Anitha.

I'm going to get married. -I know.

The professor told me. He's lucky, Anitha.

So you're Anitha? -Yes, Grandma.

Come here. -Grandma, listen to me.

Don't tell her anything.

Look here. He has been collecting the wrappers of your biscuits...

...and chocolates, and all that you throw away.

He collects it all and stores it in this cupboard.

It's infested with ants.

You need to give a solution. -The solution is already found.

Anitha is getting married to our professor next week.

Hereafter, this is not an exhibition, it's a museum.

I'm sorry, Anitha, please don't take it wrongly.

I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, Durai.

Let that go. We should unite Chinna and Chella.

Did Chella tell you that he's coming for your wedding?

Of course, I just invited her before coming here.

I'll make sure Chinna comes to the wedding too.

Okay, I'll make a move. Make sure you come for the wedding.

Okay, see you. -See you, Grandma.

Bye. -Bye.

Sorry I'm late. Here you go.

Tiku.

What are you doing here?

Come on, let's go.

Hi, Deepa. Why are you so late? -Preetha isn't here yet.

It's okay, let it go. -Roopa, keep this inside.

Durai, it's surprising to see you. -Why?

Despite knowing that Anita is getting married to someone else,...

...you are attending her wedding.

That's what men do. Irrelevant if the person they love is theirs...

...or not, they will be happy for the life they live.

What are you rambling about?

Hi, Chinna. -Hi.

Anyway, is everyone here? -Yes, everyone is here.

Chella is here too. -Okay, I'll keep my bag.

Chella, let's go. Useless fellows are taking the train.

Let's take the car.

I don't want to trouble others. Keep this in the jeep.

How will you come? -I'll drive the Jeep.

Why don't you take the train?

Welcome. I bought train tickets for all of you...

...why are you here in the jeep? -Sorry, sir.

I missed the train, that's why -It's okay, come in.

He is my father. -Hello, sir.

She's my mother. -Hi.

Hi. -Chella, how was the journey?

It was great.

Why are you alone? Where are your parents?

They have gone to another family wedding.

Is that so? He is my uncle. -Vanakkam.

Vanakkam. -Vanakkam.

Vanakkam.

Chella, come in.

Move aside. Move aside. None of you seem to respect me.

What do you think? -You are just a drummer.

Why do we have to respect you? -What do you mean just a drummer?

I'm their relative -Sorry, sir.

They placed syiling on the platter and invited me to the wedding.

I mortgaged my belongings to come for this wedding.

Yet, no one respects me. -Let it go.

Positive and negative is common during wedding functions.

Positive is fine, but why negative? -Let it go.

Let go of me. I have no respect. -Let go of me!

Listen to me, sir. -No, I'm not coming in.

Come, let's go inside and talk. -No, I'm not coming in.

Fine, buzz off! -Hey, how can you say that?

The feast was fantastic and they served twice.

Is that so? -Yes.

In other weddings, the servers usually ask "Enough?"...

...but here, they keep asking "Want more?"

They are so respectful. Get the aroma of spice in my hands?

Did you hear what he said? -Seriously?

They're asking me to eat again. They're so respectful.

Chinna, have you eaten? -Not yet. Please eat.

Chinna, you got nothing to do? Hold this pail and start serving.

Durai, I want some rasam. -Chinna, serve her rasam.

Serve her rasam.

Is this a wedding or restaurant?

I was invited for the wedding but nobody respects me.

Did anyone ask if I have eaten?

They don't even seem to appreciate the food that they have.

Will you or will you not respect me now?

There are three banana leaves here. Why are you creating chaos?

Just sit and eat. -They sat before me.

You're the groom's relative, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Are you supposed to invite me to eat,...

...or am I supposed to invite you? -I should be serving you the food.

Here, hold this. Go and serve them.

Useless guys.

You look familiar. -You must have seen me...

...in the previous serving, and you'll see me in the next one too.

You shouldn't question me. You might have a good memory,...

...but I've got a good digestive system.

Don't be shy, eat. If you need anything, just ask.

Oh really? Your wife who ran away, is she here at the wedding too?

What did you just say? How dare you!

Hey, what are you doing? -Can't you see?

We were supposed to be playing cards, but instead, we're packing.

Come and help us too. Over there.

Move aside.

Pass me the pack.

Do it properly.

Just a minute. You saw me and ignored me.

Won't you ask about me?

Why should I ask? Why should I?

Did you behave in a way that deserves me asking?

It's not that, whatever it is... -Don't talk to me.

You've called me brother all your life. Have you forgotten that?

I didn't call you brother just for the sake of it.

I truly considered you my brother. But what did you do?

You blamed me for misbehaving and accused me at the Panchayat.

I was wrong. It was wrong of me to misunderstand you.

I didn't understand you. When I found out you weren't...

...in the wrong, I came to your house and apologized.

Isn't that enough? -A person needs the heart...

...to forgive. When you suspected me, you broke my heart.

What's the point of forgiving you now?

Hey, I understand your frustration.

But now that we're here, how can you ignore me?

I'm heartbroken.

I'm even willing to fall at your feet for forgiveness.

Brother, what are you doing? How can you fall at my feet?

Forgive me. -Let it go.

You could have just asked me from the start.

Hit me with a slipper, and I would've accepted it.

Let it go, brother. Let's forget about it. Come on.

Sounds like she doesn't like anyone being together in this world.

She seems frustrated.

Beat the drums!

What's going on here? I was invited to the wedding,...

...yet no one seems to respect me. How did they disrespect you now?

They didn't treat me right even before I arrived.

How am I supposed to bless them now?

Give that to me. Why don't you just bless yourself?

Is that enough? -How can you say that?

Shouldn't the family ask the guest if they've had...

...anything to drink? -Who invited you to the wedding?

How respectful! How respectful! -How did they respect you now?

They even gave me a banana. -I have no respect.

Hi. -Hello.

Congratulations. -Thank you.

Anita, your friends are planning to leave.

Ask them to have lunch first. -Why do you want to leave so soon?

I have something important to attend to. I need to head back...

...urgently. -Okay, they need to leave urgently.

Why don't you send them off?

Sure, I'll send them off. Come with me.

Chinna, one second.

Chella, an apology not asked in time,...

...and forgiveness not given in time,...

...can lead to dire consequences.

I trust you understand what I mean.

How will she understand?

The only thing Chinna didn't do is fall at her feet and cry.

Why are you stirring up trouble now? Don't create a scene.

What else? She needs to be human to understand.

Yes, I know. I'm not human, I'm an animal.

Did you hear that? She called herself an animal!

Durai! -Chinna!

Let's go.

I'd rather be an animal.

I planned to come earlier, but he's only here for Deepavali.

Now that he's here, you can meet him.

What are you thinking about? What do you think of my son?

We don't have any other formalities.

We can finalize the wedding immediately.

Yes, Dad, let's set the date for the wedding.

Yes, I like him.

But, let me get my father's opinion first.

Go ahead. Please do. -Let's ask him now.

Come on, let's go. -Come.

Grandpa. -Welcome, welcome!

We have good news.

Your son and grandson like my son very much,...

...but your son wants your consent for this arrangement.

What's your opinion? -What is there for me to say?

Whatever it is, I won't do anything without my wife's consent.

Let her make the decision.

Definitely. -How can you say that, dear?

Marriages should be decided by the parents of the child.

She has parents. Let them make the decision.

Even when we want to buy clothes, we always consider Chella's choice.

Both girls and boys these days...

...should decide their life on their own. You should ask Chella.

Very good. Very good. Why should we ask her?

Aathi, you should talk to her.

Why don't you go and get her consent?

Am I right? What do you think? -Okay, Dad.

Chella is in her room. Why don't you go and talk to her?

May I come in? -Yes.

Hi, I'm Adith.

You must have seen me in the photos.

My dad must have told you about my education and business.

Yes, he did.

After much thought, I decided to marry a girl who understands our...

...culture and values our religion. Many proposals came my way,...

...but when my father told me about you and your family,...

...I became interested. So, I came to India immediately.

In this family, I can see how much respect...

...everyone has for each other.

It's truly great.

Having been raised in this environment,...

...if you were to become my wife,...

...all my years of waiting would be worth it.

Please give me your consent.

I agree.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Dad. -He's contemplating...

...whether he should become my in-law.

Uncle, Chella has given her consent.

I was so anxious about how things would turn out.

Now I'm relieved. -Everything's set.

We just need to fix the wedding date.

Alright, the decision is made. Let's finalize the date.

We've already consulted for an auspicious day.

The 17th is ideal, let's plan for the wedding on that day.

Let's make it a grand celebration.

Give your hand to the groom. -Congratulations!

What's the matter, dear?

Rajashekar and I have been invited to a meeting...

...to discuss the construction.

You'll be meeting him in person after a long time.

Please be cautious, don't stir up any problems.

Janaki, the problems have lasted...

...because we haven't spoken face to face.

He's quick-tempered and spoke hastily last time.

I should have been more patient

If things were as they were before,...

...we would've hugged and cried it out.

We've been friends since we were born,...

...and this pain is unbearable.

Just wait, after the meeting, we'll both return in the same car.

After that, our families, which have been divided,...

...will finally reunite.

I'm confident.

You have to attend this meeting, don't you?

Yes, you must go, son.

Business is separate, personal matters are different.

Who else should I blush around if not you?

Over such small things? -Don't be silly, dear.

Hold on a moment.

Go inside, I'll have a quick word with him before I come in.

Sure.

Keep the clothes inside. -Sure, dear.

Pandi, who is she? -She's my wife,...

...who had run away before.

She's returned to me. -She showed no shame when she left.

But she realized her mistake and came back.

How can you accept her just because she returned?

Don't you have any self-respect? -What is there to be ashamed of?

If I reject her, she might end her life.

If people gossip that she ran away and then took her own life,...

...that's when I should feel ashamed.

Instead of dying in disgrace,...

...I'd rather give her a life, knowing she came back.

Sometimes, unknowingly, we step in filth, but do we cut off our feet?

No, we wash them and go home.

Likewise, she returned home and apologized after realizing...

...her mistake. I forgave her.

So, you forgave her with a big heart?

There's a thin line between being an animal and being godlike.

When my wife acknowledged her mistake, she became human.

And by forgiving her, I became like a god to her.

When the wife sees her husband as her God,...

...the family will thrive.

Did you deliver the laundry? -Yes, dear.

Did you collect the payment? -Yes, I did.

Go have some tea at the store, and get one for me too.

I'll go get the tea and we'll drink together.

Sure, go ahead.

Sir, excuse me. Please, come in.

I'll be with you in 2 minutes.

Good morning. -Please, take a seat.

I'm waiting for my friend, Rajashekar.

He won't be coming to the meeting. He's sent us a letter.

Your friendship was once the cover story of a magazine,...

...but I never expected it to end like this.

Mr. Rajashekar has resigned from all his positions,...

...as per the letter.

The management has decided to hand over all responsibilities to you.

Our issues are resolved now.

But how are you going to solve your problems?

I don't know, sir.

Please, place that at the back. -Okay, sir.

Welcome, please come in.

Find another cook for the catering.

I'll be leaving now.

Get lost! The wedding won't be halted just because of you.

No matter who's here or not, the wedding will go on.

Vanakkam, sir. -Vanakkam.

How are you?

All the events that took place before this were planned together.

But this wedding is being organized by them alone.

It breaks my heart.

They asked me to do the cooking,...

...but I told them I couldn't.

Please don't misunderstand me, sir.

Without even a word to us, as if we're not family,...

...he's gone ahead and decided on the wedding.

I'm going to confront him, how is this fair?

Dad.

If you question him now, you'll only embarrass yourself.

I won't be able to take that, Dad.

Dad, when I found out that Chella loved Karna,...

...it hurt, but only for a little while.

Soon, I was able to convince myself that her happiness mattered more.

I made peace with it.

But the decision Chella has made now is out of anger towards me.

If one day she realizes I wasn't at fault,...

...she won't find peace.

I can't accept this, Dad.

I can't accept it at all.

Because of the problems between our families,..

...everyone is losing something.

We've lost our family.

But for me,...

...I feel like I've lost everything.

I don't know what to do anymore, Dad.

Please, let me go away for a while.

What are you saying, son?

I can't take it anymore, Dad.

I just can't take it.

I know how much you love this place...

...where you were born and raised, Dad.

You can't leave this place.

But why should everyone suffer because of me?

Please let me go, Dad.

If you're leaving, who would want to stay here after that?

This home is not more important than you.

We'll prepare to sell the house.

Let's all leave together.

How could you decide to go alone?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

I can't handle this anymore.

I don't know what to do, Dad.

I can't bear it.

I didn't have a choice, Dad.

Vanakkam, sir.

So, I've reviewed your house documents.

They are the same for both properties.

Haven't you divided the property yet?

No, we didn't split it earlier.

Now that you've decided to sell the house,...

...you'll need to divide it.

We prepared a document, splitting the property and compound.

The advance payment is in this bag.

After you vacate, we'll settle the balance.

Please, accept it, sir.

Give it to my father.

Here you go, sir.

Pass it to my daughter-in-law.

Here you go, ma'am.

Please give it to him.

It must be heartbreaking to leave the house you've lived in for long.

I'll leave the payment here. Please accept it.

If you vacate the house as soon as possible,...

...it would be convenient for us.

We plan to demolish the house somewhere next month.

I'll take my leave now, sir.

Be careful, you're going to scratch the tiles.

Why bother? The house will be demolished soon,...

...why worry about the tiles? Just push it out.

Oh my God.

Uncle, please come here

Uncle, are you really leaving this house?

No, dear, I'm not going anywhere.

Uncle, are you leaving because I threw ice cream at you?

No, dear.

I won't do it again, Uncle, please don't leave.

I'm not leaving, dear.

I'm just going to the hometown for two days.

Is that true? -Yes, it's true.

See you later.

Chinna.

One of my belongings is in there, and I've come to collect it.

Kannika, come out.

Come out, I said.

You better come with me. Do you know why?

Even the people who grew up together as a family...

...will be tossed aside, in a second.

You and I are no different.

We're useless to them.

They can chase us out anytime.

Rather than being humiliated and heartbroken,...

...as your husband, I'm calling you.

Have some dignity and come with me.

Come with me, I said!

Go! Get lost!

Don't come, just go.

I'll take my leave, boss. See you.

Boss, allow me to say this one thing.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you the best.

May you live happily in this house for a long time.

But remember, this building is just made of sand and cement.

How long will it last?

Even people change.

Soon, it will turn to rubble.

A tennis court will be built in its place.

Seth will be playing on that court.

You can sit back and enjoy watching him play, boss.

You can happily watch him play.

I'll be on my way now.

Boss, humans only live for 50 to 60 years.

Be happy while you're here.

Hey, get moving.

Go load the things into the lorry!

I have divided the properties.

Regarding the Wellington Group construction,...

...I've transferred all the rights to your name.

This is something very personal to me.

Every night when I slept, I thought this was just a small issue...

...that would resolve itself over time.

That's why I was able to sleep peacefully.

But even after waking up, nothing changed.

It has brought us to this point.

No matter what happens in this family,...

...we've always been together during times of celebration.

Today, such a major event is happening in this house,...

...yet we stand like outsiders, watching from a distance.

Chinna is slowly dying, bit by bit, every day.

Before that happens, we will vacate and leave this house.

No matter where we go, we will always think of you.

They're all leaving.

Everyone is leaving.

For every event or festival,...

...we've always sought the blessings of our elders.

He treated you like his own mother,...

...and respected you deeply.

And now, he's leaving us, Mother.

He's leaving us now, Mother.

What are you looking at outside, Dad?

They're leaving.

They're all leaving.

You've always said you've been friends for 50 years.

That friendship is leaving you now, Dad.

No matter what you did,...

...they always treated you like their own son.

They got you everything they got for their own son,...

...and they cared for you deeply.

Their love and kindness is slipping away from us now.

You chased them away,...

...and now they're leaving for good.

Is that enough?

Tell me, is that enough? -Dad.

Whenever I was angry, he calmed me down,...

...showing me what was right and wrong.

He made me who I am, made me human.

My friend is now leaving me.

He couldn't even bear to look at me.

His love, his friendship, and his respect...

...are walking out the door.

Why?

The only reason is Chella.

Where is she?

Chella! Chella!

Please, forgive me. I made a mistake.

Forgive me.

"I failed to understand the feelings of others,...

...and I've been stubborn."

"I failed to understand your feelings...

...who prioritised my happiness."

"Please forgive me, Chinna."

"Please, Chinna."

"Forgive me."
