Sir, autograph please.

Sire, your autograph here.

Yours too sir.

All three are in your finest today.
What's in store?

The new boss from Andhra is here.
We’re trying to impress her.

Oh no! I was to bring a bouquet for her.
I forgot.

Give it to this baldy,
let him welcome the lady boss.

Mind your business.

Mom, I will leave now.

But, you haven't eaten anything.
- I will, after I return. Prepare fish.

How can we have fish every day?
Did you bathe?

How can I bathe every day?

Shankara...

Buy snacks.

I have to hurry.
My friend must be waiting.

Hey!
- Eh?

This is for you. I made it.
- OK. I will leave.

Have they left?

No way. Girls need an entire season;
To get dressed.

They may starve,
But never venture out without make-up.

Hey.. - Eh?
Give me the 20 paise your dad gave.

Here, take.

Two bananas please.

They are here!
- Is it?

She is walking away without responding.

What's new? You waited all summer,
go talk to her.

No, it is Friday!
Those named Suchitra act strange.

They are possessed on Fridays.
- Oh is it? I will ask her.

Suchitra..

Hey Suchi...
Are you pos...

Will you give me 20 paise tomorrow?
- Alright.

Good morning madam.

Good morning.
- Hehe

I'm Raju. I’m the attender here.
- Oh hm.

Boss asked me to get a bouquet for you.
I forgot earlier. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks. (Telugu) My Kannada is not good.
I know a little bit.

You are Telugu? I know a bit myself.

What?

Nothing madam.

Autograph! - Oh
- Thank you madam.

(Telugu) Name?
- Ah?

Haasini - Haasini!

(Pidgin) Ma’am, if you require anything,
Call out for Raju...

I will arrive before you.

Fine. So you are Raju?

Yes. My name is Raju.
Thank you madam.

Boss, leave it to me.
You stop worrying about it.

Who is that guy?
He stoned boss' vehicle at the rally.

Any trouble here and it's on my head.
This is screwing my peace.

Who is that rascal?

- He is from around, Kwatle Seena

You know him, Kuppuswamy's son.

This is the opposition's paid job.

Boss...

Allow us to teach him a lesson.

We have to weed out the unwanted.

Let Joseph and his boys handle this.

Yes boss.
- We will take leave.

Drop me here.
How much is it?

It is already 10 pm.
Please pay a little more.

Hand me the towel.

Katte.. your girl is here.

Hand me an Eagle. I will be back.
- Yeah okay.

Joseph..

This is the moment we were waiting for.

To entertain us all,
here is Ragasudha and team.

Oh! What torture.

Let's go -
- What about a movie?

(Tulu) "Stop pranking
and take a hike, field buffaloes

"Why the foxy face bloated fishes?

Dad, stop.
- Why, what's wrong?

Hey, stop it. Aren't you ashamed?
Three of you trashing a single guy!

What are you? Rowdies?
- Leave them.

Wait dad. What are you staring at?
You consider yourself a don?

Go find a job rather than
fight like stray dogs.

Don't act like a tomboy.

Come on, can't teach them manners.
Leave the rowdies alone.

You wastrels have destroyed the country.
Get lost scum.

Bloody rowdies, ugh.

Shyam, your daughter secured a PU seat?
- Yes.

Listen to his college-day limerick...

Power cuts in the spring,
Home full of offspring.

And it turned out to be true!

(Pidgin) Can I sit here?

Of course. Please sit.
- Thank you.

(Telugu) And you are..?
- Shyam Rao, madam.

(Telugu) And you?
- I'm Mylari Koppa madam - Okay.

(Telugu) I remember your name,
It is Gopinath right?

Uh, hmm.

(Telugu) It is my brother's name.
So, I did not forget.

Your brother may be Gopinath.
But my sister isn't named Haasini.

'Be happy, make merry'

What is it Raju, you're in a jolly mood.

It is salary day. So I am happy.

(Telugu) Mr. Raju, why are you alone?
You can join us here.

I am fine here.

He is an attender. Let him sit there.

(Telugu) How can you say that?
Our food is God's gift.

We are partaking God's given...
Manager and attender are the same.

No hassle madam.
I've had lunch for ten years here.

I won't take that argument.
Come, join us here.

Come on now,
You can't disobey the boss.

Come..

Please sit.

Madam...

Can you tell us about yourself?
Your native? Your husband?

I'm from Rangasthalam in Andhra.
My husband is no more.

What does her husband do?
- He is no more.

Oh sad,
So who lives with you now?

My daughter. She is 20...
And a very bright girl.

And her name would be?

Varalakshmi.

Varalakshmi: she is a boon to you.

Ma’am where do you stay here?

In Aghanashini. I stay with my brother.

Oh! That's close to my village.
- Shut up - It is true sir.

(Telugu) How many kids do you have?
- Two madam.

And you? - Five madam.
Three daughters and two sons.

(Telugu) Means?

Three girls and two boys ma’am.

Oh! Five children, That's a big family.
- Yes hmm.

Ma’am, he doesn't stay quiet at home.
It has resulted in so many kids.

What? I did not get that?

Nothing ma’am. You please eat.

Mr.Raju, how many kids do you have?

Means..?

Seeks harvest before sowing!

He is a bachelor,
Not married yet

(Chatter) Enjoying your Tuesday holiday?
- Give me a tea.

If you married at the right age,
your wife would be serving you Raju.

Instead of being a drifter...

you could have had a nice life.

Having a wife is like bringing
a bull into the china shop.

I am better than you guys.

Your friends are marrying off their kids.

Get married at least now.

You guys are jobless.

The world is in crisis, but you
are concerned about my marriage.

Don't you have anything better to do?
I am done with this.

Get lost. I've seen your married life.
- Raju.

Why is he hurrying?
- He scoots at the mention of marriage.

Find something better to do.

(Chattering)

Hey, zip it up.
Hmm.

You sing child.
- Hmm.

'Beware, I am the lightning blaze'

'With a gaze sharp as a knife,
I trap you in my life'

'Before you realise my ruse'

Sir, this is all I know.

Hmm! That's it?

Never do it half-heartedly,
always learn the full song.

Understood? - Yes sir.
- Hey! Go sit.

You have to give me 20 paise tomorrow.

Why? You gave me the wrong answer.
- It isn't for that.

I found out things about Suchitra.
- What?

Her favourite food is 'kesari bath',
Her favourite colour is pink.

Her likes are your likes now,
You know what to do next.

What else Prakash?
- I need a special idol.

It should mirror the Lord himself.
- You need not worry.

It is Jakkanna on the task,
even the Gods will agree.

Who does not know Jakkanna?
He was working with Divakar earlier.

He quit and Divakar's fortune went down.

He hardly has business now.
It is because Jakanna works here...

That I came to you. I will leave now.

Jakkanna, I am leaving.
- Uh, hmm.

The five-foot idol is mine,
take special care of it.

Ye.. ye.. yes..
- I can't wait for you to finish. Bye.

I will take leave.
- See you, Prakasha.

Have a little more.
- Fine, pour it.

I will take home some more.

Katte..

I will drop this and be back.
- Yes, fine.

'A shining light bestowing sweet bliss'

'A sweet song sung in silence,
on a flower that blooms every night'

Er, the price is hiked by three rupees.

'A shining light bestowing sweet bliss'

Katte, your fame precedes you now.
People fear your presence.

That's our man.
- But he is timid in love.

Bro, tea for us.

Did you speak to her today at least?
- Yes, I spoke to her boldly.

What did you tell her?
- Told her about the price hike.

You should talk about your love!
Ask her name and whereabouts.

You are right, Kosambari.

It isn't enough to check her out.
You need to check her background.

What if someone's after her?
Will you take on a gang for her?

I don't care. When I fight,
I fight till the end.

I never bowed before anyone,
And never backed away from a fight.

I know you are the lion king,
You can take on a hundred thugs.

This flattery is leading somewhere.

Hmm, there is an itchy feeling.

So?

So, Beedi and I engaged a girl.

Your room would be the right place.

Shame on you.

I suspected your flattery.

How shameless can you be?

Is my room a rental for you?

Hey man!
- Is it all there is to friendship?

Katte - Katte
- Please agree.

Okay come after the owner is asleep.
And you should leave early.

Alright. - It will be a quickie.
- Can you spare some money?

Ah?

Hey, of course he will!
He will look after his friends.

He is giving us his place.
He will give us money too. Eh?

No end to your antics.

Pay you later.
- Let's go.

I get the first attempt this time.

Yes, that is the spirit.

Pass

Jump

Hey, is that the way you play?

Hey Raju, you want to jump at this age?
Remember you are 49.

Your son should've been playing with us.
- Hey

Get married at least now.
Trying to teach us to jump.

Hey, shut up. What's it with marriage?
Obsessed with marriage!

I will return in the evening,
and show you how to jump.

I am a match winner.

Don't poke into my affairs.

Man is worried about the boardroom,
wife is worried about the bedroom.

You wanted to see me?

Why are you crying?

My college-mate Sridhar
is troubling me a lot.

He is threatening to
kidnap me if I don't love him.

Why don't you inform the principal?

His father is the principal.

If I tell my father...

No use. At best, he will take you
to a temple and pray to God.

He will do no more, understand?

I have a good idea to teach
these rascals a lesson. Come.

The job should be complete
before boss arrives.

It will be taken care of.

Who do you want?

Er, I have to meet Mr Shetty.
I'd called. He asked me to come.

And you are?
Sudha.

Sudha? Ragasudha? - Hmm
- Boss went out just now.

Please be seated,
I will fetch him immediately.

How come you are so famous?

How do you know Mr Shetty?

Oh, that's a long story. Last year
my parents had been to Tirupati.

I was home alone and there
was a frantic knock on the door.

He was at the door.

Some rowdies were after him
and he requested me for help.

He was bleeding and so I agreed.

The rowdies left without finding him.

While leaving, he told me
he was Param Shetty and...

He was well-known in Magod.

He asked me to contact him
if I required any help.

I'm here to solve your problem.

Ragasudha, how are you?
- I'm fine.

'Namaskara'
- Please come in.

Dear, forget your worries
when you are with me.

My boys are coming over.
Show them that guy.

With the trashing he gets,
he will forget his roots.

So, you won't be coming uncle?

I am contesting elections...

I cannot be seen doing those things.

It would be improper for me.
But you need not worry.

My boys are ferocious.

Here they come.

Hello boss.
- Come Joseph.

This guy!
Her?

Why do you entertain such guys?
- Throw her out first.

You there.
- What do you...

Why are you at each other's throats?

Hey! Do you know each other?

Know? He is bloody rowdy.

Who are you calling a rowdy?

Keep that crap to yourself,
this is my place.

Show your strength, let me see.
- Hey!

Is this how you speak to a girl child?

Aren't you ashamed?

Is she a kid?

Shut up

Do you know who she is?

When the Gangoli gang attacked,
she saved me and gave me a new life

I am sure, this is not her fault.

It has to be your fault; apologise.
- Tch

Apologise.

Sorry.
- Oh ah

Is this how you apologise?

Learn to respect women.

Hmm

Okay, has Mani informed you?

Yes boss, he did.

She will show you the guy.
Teach him a deserving lesson.

I will

Mani will pay you after the job.

Look, you show him the guy.

This chap will sort out that guy.

If this chap troubles you,
I will take care of it, ok?

Happy now? - Hmm
Bye.

Move on.

Stop staring and move.

Today is my wedding anniversary,
so I brought some sweets.

Special 'halwa'
It is very popular where I come from.

Congratulations. But I have to refuse...
I am a little diabetic.

Madam, are you diabetic?
- Yes.

What is your age?
- Hmm

Shut up. Don't ask women their age.
- Oh come on sir.

What is your age madam?

Forty two.

Madam, I am forty nine.

Look at me, I am hale and hearty.

I jog and do Surya Namaskar daily,
and practice Yoga.

I have no ailments, practice Yoga
and keep troubles away.

What do you say?
Of course, since you have told me.

She will do it, says madam.
Give me the sweets on her behalf.

'Madam has started walking'
- Good morning Madam.

Good morning Mr Raju.
- Where are you up to so early?

You asked me to walk,
I am following your advice.

Good, then we can walk together.

You should swing your arms,
the walk should be brisk.

Is this okay?
- More effort.

So fast?
Yes, it improves blood circulation.

I am not used to it.
- Take it easy.

See, do it this way.
- Okay.

Take it back slowly,
and then bend forward.

Touch the ground.
- Shall I try?

Start straight, then go back slowly...
Madam, be careful.

Oh, that wasn't easy.
- Take it easy, look madam...

Watch me and follow,
stretch back slowly.

Now, bend forward and
touch the ground.

"His loveable face,
Hides a naughty heart"

"Life is a bundle of emotions"

Thank you so much.
- Thanks.

Thanks?
- Check this out.

We're called street rowdies
when we fight for others.

Help them and we get a thanks and grin.

That is how it is with girls,
They not only dress up...

They dress their speech too.

Remember, none of
you can exist without us.

Take back your words,
We aren't girls who survive on makeup...

We are boys who survive on Kannada.

We helped you, keep that in mind.

Help? Aren't you getting paid for it.

Ignore it, let's give them a party.

I'm okay with it, ask
them if they are willing.

We don't want it.
- Hey come on - Agree to it Joseph.

Please agree.
- I dislike it. But will agree for you.

Bro, will it be Vaishali or Akshaya?

Are they your friends?

Not friends, they are the names of bars;
Vaishali bar and Akshaya bar.

Our party will be in a bakery,
We can have puffs, 'dil pasand'...

Cakes and snacks.

That's it then. Done.

OK, we meet at the bakery
near the beach next Sunday.

Hmm - uh hm

Bye.

Tch, I wasted it.
- 'He is back so soon!'

Are you done so soon?
- It was, er.

I was er,

- He wanted to last, but lost.

Stop laughing. Go in and you will know.

Me? No way, I am not for it.
- It will be a waste of money, go.

Go in and do the job.
- Push him in.

You should be like a bull.

You wasted your chance.
- You won't understand my pain.

Sneaking in like a cat?
Come on, be done with it.

I have other customers waiting.

Come on fast.

Uh hmm
- I ain't doing this. I will just sit.

What? You will just sit around?
Come, lie down.

I am not game. I'm a silent spectator.
I will hang around and leave.

They will chide me if I leave too soon.

Why? Are you inadequate?

Hey! I am...
It isn't that.

It is.. I am in love with a girl.
This would be like cheating her.

The two are different things.
Come lie down.

You talk rubbish.
- Hmm

Would I tolerate if she does
the same with someone else?

Many drunkards don't even change brands,
will they touch other women?

Men should be loyal not only to brands,
but wives too.

Not bad, you respect your girl a lot.

Who is that girl?

I work nearby, in...

Tulasi wine store.

She buys liquor there every day.

I am in love for over a year.
- Is she better looking than me, eh?

Hmm, I have no idea?
- You don't know?

Uh, she is always veiled.

You fell in love with a faceless girl?

But I have seen her eyes,
they are special.

They are mesmerising.

My heart melts like snow,
when I look into them.

Hmm

It is fine if she is fair and lovely,
what if she is black?

Hmm, white clouds bring the breeze,
Black clouds bring the rain.

Okay, have you proposed?

Oh no! I hardly breathe in her presence,
let alone talk to her.

Uh, I don't dare. How do I tell her?

Sweet talking boys easily entice girls.

But those sincerely in love,
lose love without expressing it.

Uff

By the way, do you drink?
- Yes.

Then drink, you will get into the mood.

Then propose.

What are you staring at?
Get back to work.

Er, ugh

Hey Muniya? Come over.

Check what he has scribbled.

How long can I work for the same wages?

You are filling your coffers in my name.

You unfaithful beast.

Your evil eye is on my business.

You aren't a great artist.

There're dozens who can do this job.

Ugh hm

Put them to work, if you can.

Remember, if I quit,
your business goes bust.

Scoundrel, you dare speak ill of me?

Please stop, stop sir.

You threaten to quit?
I am firing you, go to hell.

Why would I go to hell?
I have skill. I'll start my business.

But you can never work like me!

Uff, what a statement!

Go, show your prowess,
business is not like eating a pie.

Want to write something?

Why are you drenching?

What happened? Get inside.

Can we handle business?

You struggle to talk!

How can you talk business?

I w-w-will do it.
- Alright.

Uh hm,
- Eat it up.

Can I suggest something?

Hmm.

You have the skill.
Gangaiah makes 500 idols a year.

Why don't you ask him to
contract you a 100 of them?

It won't be a burden and
financially manageable.

Hey, have you gathered enough courage?
- I am gathering it.

Katte, your girl is here.
- Uh hm

So soon?

Hey, why are you going empty-handed.

You want him to go bare-chested?
- Tch

It is better to give her something
she likes when proposing.

How would I know what she likes?

Take her favourite liquor brand.

Hmm, make way.
- Go

All the best, Katte.

Hello.

Hello.

What is it?
- I need to speak with you.

Have they hiked the liquor price again?

It isn't about that.

I've been noticing you for a year.

I am in love with you.

Hey, are you drunk?

They say drinking gives you courage.

So, I had a bit. Is it wrong?

Let that be, will you marry me?

Uh huh

Such proposals are dime a dozen,
I can't marry everyone.

Hey, forget about the rest.

Do you know how much I like you?

How much?

If you ask...

This much!

'Karma'

Give me a reply.

Why don't you say something?

How can I respond so quickly?

OK, what's your name?

Asma

Asthma?

Not asthma, it is Asma Begum.

Oh no! You are a Muslim?

Yes.

That's fine. But show me your face.

Business is dull this year,
I won't be able to share it with you.

But don't be disheartened Jakkanna.

You've a family to take care of...
Now do this...

This year, Yedavakatte villagers
need a thirty-foot Ganesha idol

I will get you that contract.

But they won't pay an advance.

Payment will be on the festival eve.
Will you agree?

They will sign an agreement.

I w-w-will ask m-my wife first.

Jakkanna, you have to deliver
the idol before the festival.

If not, you won't be paid.

If you agree, here is the contract.

The idol has to be perfect.

The i-idol w-w
- Let me tell them.

You need not worry,
My husband's work will impress you.

Then let's complete the formalities.

T-t-this is fine.

No, this isn't good.

This is splendid.

T-t-this is n-not good.

G-g-girlish colour.

So, should I not wear it?
I want this or nothing else.

S-s-Sundara.

Mr Raju, can you teach me Kannada?

Of course, why not?
I will make you an expert in two days.

'Prema' - Love.
'Preeti' - That is love as well.

'Geletana' - Friendship.

'Sneha' - That is friendship as well.

I am visiting the temple tomorrow.
- You need the address?

No, I want you to come along.

You want me to come - Yes.
Sure, I will.

The Udupi bus takes 30 minutes.
- No not in a bus.

We have to go on foot.
- That's what we call a 'padayatre'.

We will leave at six. I will bring
'Avalakki Mosaranna' - What's that?

That's nothing. We leave at six sharp.
- Uh hmm

'Praise Goddess Bhagavathi'

'Praise Lord Lambodara'

'Praise Lord Narayana'

Pray to the Gods.

'Bring success to my husband'

'I have nothing but faith left in you'

'Lord, I don't seek knowledge,
I seek Suchitra'

'Make her talk to me'

That's enough, don't scare the God.

Break the coconut.
- Dad, I will do that.

Wearing pink to impress Suchitra?

Yes, this is for her.

I've a name for you pretty pair;
Su-Su pair.

That sounds gross.

Hey, Su-Su means Sundara and Suchitra.
- Look at this chap's shirt.

Look at him in girls' pink.

They are all laughing at you!
- I don't care.

Suchitra is here.

She is right behind me!
- Sundara why are you wearing pink?

Do you want to join us girls?

Pink is his favourite colour,
even his blood is pink.

Chee.

Tch, quite.

Sundara, you shirt is too good.
I love pink.

Have some 'kesari bath'.
It is from the temple.

Wow, I love 'kesari bath'.

Thanks.

That's not needed between us.

Have some 'uppittu'.

Do you like 'uppittu'?

Yes, I love it a lot.

I don't like it.

Even I don't like.

Ho hmm

You said you like it?

I used to like it - Oh
BTW why aren't you performing?

You will sweep the singing prizes.

I don't know singing.

You sang the other day?

That was just a bit,
my father dislikes film songs.

So, I couldn't learn the full song.

Will you learn if I get the lyric book?

Yes, of course.

C-c-Chandra - Eh?
B-b-bring the nail fast.

Lord Ganesha, I thank you.

No one fulfills wishes like you!
I asked today and it is already done.

Suchitra spoke to me.

You are my boss now.

Dad - Eh?
How tall will be the Ganesha idol?

T-t-tw - I got it, 20 feet right?
- Uh hmm

Why don't you try for 200 feet?
- uh?

OK, don't waste your time.

If you flunk even this class test,
I will kick out everyone.

Mind it.

'Form sentences: Relationship'

'Flower'

Oh! Hey, today's the last day to
sign up for the singing competition.

Anyone wants to sign up?

Suchi, why haven't you registered?

I told you, I can't sing.

Sir, Suchitra says she will sing.
- Good... Suchitra.

Hey, why did you do that?
I told you, I can't sing.

Lyrics book! Where did you find it?

Don't bother. Just learn the song.

Thank you.

Hey, Suchitra seems to like you.

It is the blessings of Lord Ganesha,
you too should seek his blessings.

I am a studious boy,
My effort is to become a 'PM'.

PM eh?
- Yes, Passing Marks.

I will study hard to get passing marks.
- Eh tut.

'Sun let it come, rain let it come,
forest mountain I go roaming'.

You sing well, so you are singer too.
- I can sing a bit.

What about you?
- Not me...

My daughter Varalakshmi sings well,
Carnatic, Hindustani...

She knows Kuchupudi too.
- Is it? Can she teach me?

You want to learn?
- Yes.

I prepare quite a few dishes,
Kuchupudi will be a nice addition.

That's not a dish! It's a dance form.

Ha, ha, I do know. I was joking.
- Mr Raju, you were kidding.

Are you alright madam?

I can't go on. Let us sit.

Yes, please sit.
- My sugar levels must have dropped.

Oh! Please sit.

This is troublesome.

I suspected such a situation,
so I brought this.

What's this?
- Sugar water. Please drink.

This will restore your energy.
- You brought this for me?

Yes madam. I know you are diabetic.

You remember?
Of course, please drink.

This is good.

Thank you.
- Do you feel better?

Are you alright? - Hmm
- Then, let's move on.

No Mr Raju, I can't go on.
- It is not far away.

We could have taken the bus.
- No Mr Raju...

I am tired, I can't walk anymore.

I will take you, hand me that.
Give me your arm.

One step at a time.

'Praise Lord Rama'

'Do not sing futile hymns'

'The mantra Lord Somashekara
revealed to his wife...'

'Praise Lord Rama, oh humans'

Thank you Mr Raju,
this was a nice trip.

I am glad you are happy.
- Hmm

By the way, why did.
you not enter the temple?

Asking me why I did not come in?
I am not a believer madam.

Then what do you believe in?

I believe in people - Eh?
They are the ones who are with us.

My friend barber Babu got me this job.

Another friend, Pujari,
conducts prayers for me.

Many families here
consider me their son.

The love of these people is my God.

Not everyone can earn the love
and affection of so many people.

You are very lucky Mr Raju.

Luck plays no part here.
A brainy person earns money easily.

The one with a good heart,
wins the love of people.

Love and the world loves you back,
hate and the world hates you back.

As you sow, so you reap, right?

Mr Raju, I like your logic very much.

Hey, why are you after me?
You ran away yesterday!

Who will survive such a shock?
I am back right?

Yes, why are you back?

Hm, I thought about it all night.

I've decided you're the one for me.
Quit this work, I will marry you.

Oh! You saw my face yesterday,
and you feel like marrying me today!

Hey, it is not the face,
I lost myself to your eyes ages ago.

Oh is it? These were the
same eyes the other night.

You could not identify them then, eh?

Swear, I didn't see your eyes then.

That aside, you knew I was speaking
about you. Why did you not tell me?

You advised me to propose after
drinking, saying love is pure.

I wanted to tell you the truth,
but I could not bring myself to it.

In my line of work, talk of love
is never heard of or talked about.

We only talk about rates, customers,
police.. tch.. that's our life.

But, that night, after
realising someone loves me...

I was thrilled.

I lost myself.

I never knew what true love was.

Now you know? - Hm
It is intoxicating without drinking.

OK, when do we marry?

First, you have to earn my confidence.

Marriage will come later.

You don't believe me?

I do now... But what if
you rake up the old things later?

OK, I will wait.

I have a few more conditions.
- What?

Your friends from the other day?
Take me to them and introduce me.

Oh, hmm. To those guys?

Uh huh
- Hmm

You are afraid to tell them!
Will you really marry me?

OK, I will do that. What else?

Hmm, I want my portrait done
in a big photo studio.

You should come along.
- What more?

Want to watch a movie in a big theatre.

I will pay for it. Then?

That's it for now.

Now go home. Return at
6.30 tomorrow to drop me.

OK, done. See you.

Hey, Miss Asma...

Eh?
- A moment please.

I forgot why I was here.

I am loving you.

Eh? - Gift for you.
You like it right?

What about your parents?
- I lost them when I was young

Your parents?
- Hm, I don't know who my father was.

My mother was in the same profession.

Even she is no more.

How?
- Hmm, AIDS.

What is it? Go on.

Take care.

Mr Raju?
- Madam?

Why have you been single?

Don't you believe in relationships?

That's not the case.

I would rather not have a
relationship for the sake of it.

But rather respect and honour
relations that happen during need.

Me too, but not all of us can
find such relationships. - Uh hmm

Can I ask you something?

Please ask madam.

My husband passed away 15 years ago.

It is a matter of time before my
daughter marries and goes away.

You know, I suffer from BP and diabetes.

I can't live alone, but...

Marrying at this age will
be looked down by society.

What do I do?

Let me tell you.

Before we do something, we can seek
others' opinion, not their consent.

Hmm
- If you do...

Each one will have an opinion.

You will find support even if
you want to something wrong.

Even if you do something right,
you can't escape criticism.

Critics won't save us.

Don't worry about others.
Marriage is only between two hearts.

So...

You agree?

This is for your good.
Don't take a hasty decision.

He is a Christian and you are...

Enough uncle, what's the big difference.
between Hindus and Christians?

Their God is Jesus and our God
is Krishna, their God is a Shepard...

Our God is cowherd.

They pray to Mary, we pray to Maari.

From today, I will read the Bible
and he will read the Gita.

Let that be, but how did he impress you?

He is but a rowdy.

How did you impress your wife?
You are a former don right?

Hmm, that's true.

If you understand each other, hm, OK.

You should stop working for me now.

Hey, don't call him for any brawls.

Joseph...

Whatever the reason...

Make sure this girl does not suffer.

Find a job.

Before you ask for her hand,
you should be employed.

That's respectful.

Now this is settled, you may leave.

Whatever your problem, count on me.

Hey Raju, weren't you
shocked when she proposed?

Shocked? I was terrified.

Terrified? This is terrific for you.

Uh hm
- OK, what did you reply?

I ran away leaving her behind.

Ugh, I can't believe this.

She's old enough to handle herself.

So what?

All he had to do was agree,
I suspect if you are straight - Hey.

I will smack you if you talk nonsense.

What stops you from marrying her?
- She is 42.

Are you a teenager?
You are lucky she proposed.

The villagers talk ill about you, and
you have few years of virility left...

When opportunity knocks,
you are tearing down the door.

Tell me the truth; do you like her?

Like, I do... hm, like yes...

Hear hear.
- Look at him blush.

You like her. Think and take a decision.

I don't...

She will accept...

Else, I can marry a dozen.

'Raju... Madam, I like
you. But there is fear'

'So, I ran away. I am sorry'

'Don't worry. I will marry you
and buy you a saree.'

'Hm, you are an officer and I am a peon.
But this wedding will happen.'

If anyone dares interfere...
Hey, uff, oh

'Madam'

'Madam', hmm

'Madam'

'We should go to Ooty for our honeymoon'

'My dreams are being fulfilled now.'

'You should wear a 'chudidar',
I will wear jeans.'

'Together, we can sing a duet.'

'Madam, why don't you speak?'

'Madam' - Look at this.
- Scandalous!

Hey Raju, what are you up to?

Are you out of your mind?

What is this Raju?
- Er hm

Leave me.
- Pushpa, marry me or I will murder you.

Leave me.

Seena is troubling Pushpa again bro.

This is too much.

(Pushpa) Why are you troubling me,
leave me.

You don't know me well,
come with me or die.

Hey
- Hey! -Let go of me.

He is married, but still
pesters me to marry him.

What are you staring at?
Get lost.

Here it is sir.

Hello

'Raju, you're in trouble for last night.
The village has gathered for a meeting.

Everyone's blaming you, hurry up.
- Is it?

I am on my way.

Sir, I have to rush on some errand.

Please inform madam - OK.
- I will be back.

Why should you hold a
meeting if I don't marry?

You're a bachelor, but
the village takes the blame.

We are facing trouble.
- What are you blabbering about?

How does it matter to you?
I'm a man. I will marry when I wish.

Half the village suspects your virility,
the other half suspects you are gay.

Me?

You're intimate with men in the bar
and try to entice volley ball players.

You stare at men and slept with a boy,
we have a complaint about it.

Hey, stop this nonsense, I will marry
when I wish. None of your business.

And you guys have no better business.

When will you reply?
- When you become the prime minister.

We are pestering you for years.
But you won't listen to us.

Because of you,
we are also suspected to be gay.

Dear, please get married at least now.

We can find a mate for an old cow.
But where will you find a bride for him?

Why not? - Raju, accept the proposal
before the lady changes her mind.

Madam is calling.
- Right time to tell her.

Speak to her.
- I am scared.

Hey Pujari.

He will get me into trouble!

You will throw me to the wolves.

Madam, don't worry. It is our
responsibility to convince Raju.

Marriage? Are you out of your mind?
What will people talk about you?

I have given it thought and decided.

It can't be your decision alone.
Think of people, what will uncle say?

Look, I don't mind what others say.
What you think is important for me.

This is pointless.

Is it? Leave it. Where are
your feminist ideas now?

OK, keep that aside?
Where is Mr Raju from?

He is from Magodu, a village nearby.

I want to meet him alone.
- Right, I will inform him.

'The rules are God's vision'

'The Bible says; Jehovah. The righteous
themselves will possess the earth..."

'One body there is, and one spirit..."

'But the soul will forever..."

Everyone, pray. Amen.
-- Amen.

Mom told me about it,
so I decided to talk to you.

Hmm yes, she called me. Tell me.

Straight to the point,
do you like my mom?

Like, hmm, yes I er.. like...

Why don't you answer straight?
You are shying like a bride.

Did you ask her for marriage?
- Er, hm no. It was her who...

You are saying she came after you?
- No.

I did not mean that!
- Alright, answer my questions.

Hm, ask.

Why are you unmarried still?

I had personal problems; you
shouldn't ask, I shouldn't answer.

I don't want it either.

My mom earns more than you,
are you after her money?

It is not money, but support I need.
With age, we need each other's support.

You won't understand this now.

It is fun to being with, but
relationships sour. Will you leave her?

See...

In a perfect marriage two imperfect
people refuse to give up on each other.

A wife is not a help.

Every husband is a hero to his wife.

I only have love and respect for a wife,
I would never leave her.

Nice, I will be back.

What is your sun sign?

Oh, hm it is Cancer.

You're a Cancerian, he is an Aries, hmm.

'8 - 23,' bravo.

Your horoscopes match perfectly!

You will be happy together.

I suggest...

Have the wedding on August 23 at 8 am.
It is an auspicious time.

Inform your brother, he will agree.

Is it true? Will by brother agree?

He will book the wedding hall himself!

Your mobile rings, it is a good omen.

A moment please.

Hello?

Mom!

Varalakshmi, what is it?

I am with Mr Raju,
I notice that...

He is a very nice person.

But, I wonder if uncle will agree.

He will have issues, leave it.
Tell me if you agree.

That's more important.

I have no issues mom.
- OK, I will meet you at home.

OK, bye.

I spoke to mom. Are you happy?
- Yes, very happy.

You would be happier if I was a boy.

Hey, that's wrong.

What's wrong with a girl child?

There is no greater gifts to parents,
than their daughters.

I will be a proud to have a daughter.

It is ages since I called anyone dad.
It will take time to call you dad.

Is it OK?
- Call me Raju. Let's be friends.

'Why is dad out in rain?'

Dad, why are you here? Get in.

Where were you?

At Geetha's, 'Shanimahatma' ritual...
- Shut up.

I will smack you if you lie.

Do Christians celebrate 'Shanimahatma'?

I saw you. What were
you doing with Christians?

I was meeting friends dad.

Holding hands with friends?
Tell me the truth.

OK, I will tell you the truth.

He is Joseph, we are in love.
I will marry only him.

Aren't you ashamed?
Marrying out of caste and religion?

I place humanity over caste and religion.

Everyone needs caste. They can't
even conduct elections without it.

Will they erase the caste
column in schools and colleges?

Everyone needs caste and religion.
Why is it wrong if I ask for it?

I won't follow others' mistake.
I will marry him alone.

OK, marry him. I will die
the day you marry him.

Your threats will not stop me dad.

You think this is a threat? Wait.

Dad...

Dad...

Dad...

'Beware, I am the lightning blaze'

'With a gaze sharp as a knife,
I trap you in my life'

'Before you realise my ruse'

'As I sway my hips,
to the rhythm of..'

Sir, why are you dragging her away?

Beware. Is this song appropriate?
- It is art, the song doesn't matter

They will sing now, then
realise its meaning. Later...

They will engage in it. Tut.

Sir...

Suchitra's dad is dragging her away.
Go save her.

Go Sundara. - Be bold in love.
Bu you don't deserve it, tut.

One more word and I will kill you.
- Why?

What wrong have I done?
- Oh, he taught you Kannada too!

People will laugh at you
if you marry at this age.

Why? Is it wrong to fall in love?

Wrong?

Your daughter is ready for marriage.

But you found yourself a groom!

Sister, do you need this at this age?

Tell me.

Uncle? - What?
I am in love with a boy.

What? You are in love as well?

Both mother and daughter are crazy.

Why should I not fall in love?

What's your age?
You are too young to understand love.

What do you know about life?

Oh! I am too young for love.
But mom...

Is experienced, but is too old for love!
So...

The young don't need love,
the experienced should also keep away.

So what is the right age for love?
Can't a woman take her own decisions?

I am done talking to you.
You come in. - Uncle.

Sit down. - Answer me uncle.
- I need not answer you.

Look...

This is your last chance,
If you talk about love and marriage...

I will throw you both out.

And you. Read.
- Romeo and Juliet loves very much.

Rascal, you talk of love too.
Get out.

Asma...

Asma...

Katte? What are you doing here?
- Look at you!

Come here, over here.

Why are you here?

I've fulfilled all your desires.
You've to fulfill my desire.

Desire? - Hmm
What is it?

Just once, I want to...

You want to?

Get drunk!

That's it? I was scared it was...
- That's for after marriage.

OK. I will prepare omelette.
Stay here.

'A shining light bestowing sweet bliss..'

How come you are always happy?

You can adopt children, not smiles.

It has be born inside us.
Here, pinch me.

Come on, harder.

This is true.

I can't believe I am drinking
with a girl for the first time.

Cheers!

But, this isn't my first time.

I've got drunk with many men.

Every one of them was a showoff!
You are the only one with a heart.

Before I met you, I thought...

That this world was a factory,
where everyone was a talking machine.

I need you, so I make use of you.

You need me and so use me.

Love, affection are like
grease for machines.

I was waiting to be scrapped after use.

But you opened my eyes, uh hm.

This barren world grows only weeds.
You are a lone exception, a flower.

But why are you so good? huh?

We excrete filth everyday...

But there is no option to
throw out the filth in our hearts

It rots you from the inside.

If we are good looking,
We look good to the world.

If our mind is good,
The world looks good to us.

I've just one wish. I should be happy.
And everyone else should be happy.

OK. I have a question.
- Hmm

You would have found many good girls...

Knowing my background...
Why did you fall in love?

You may have slept with many, but...

Have you given your heart to anyone?

Tell me. No right?

I am the first right? That's enough.

It is your heart I seek, not your body.

Understand? Don't cry.

Tell me. Was it wrong
to fall in love with you?

Is it?

Joseph, what are you thinking?

Nothing. I need to find a job soon.

You have taken boss' words seriously.
- Hmm

What job would you do?
- No idea. I am confused.

I don't know what to choose.
And what do you plan to do?

I've my tea stall to look after.

And you Shastri?
- What else will a Shastri do?

Joseph... Boss has found
you a job with Narayana.

Is it? - Your luck has turned.

Take care.
- Bye

Tell this to your girl.
She will be thrilled. - No.

Can't meet her for a month.
She is busy with some exams.

We will be meeting only a month later.
She left just now.

A job on hand will give me confidence
to speak to her father.

What have you done Ganesha?
Suchitra is not even coming to school.

You know what's going to happen.
Why did you not inform me?

OK. Make sure Suchitra
comes to school today.

Who all know your love story?
- Everyone knows dad. - Eh?

So the whole town needs to be invited?

Go, give it.
- Yes dad.

Has the goods from Mangaluru arrived?
- We are expecting it boss.

The elections are on.
Be very careful.

If by chance you are caught,
They will screw my happiness too.

You need not worry. We will handle it.
- Hmm

Oh, Raghasudha! What's wrong?

Tch, you should've
informed me of any trouble.

I had no time uncle.

Take me home, I will speak.

It isn't possible uncle.
- I will teach your dad.

He tried to commit suicide.

What about Joseph then?

This is the wedding invitation.

Please hand this over to Joseph.

He took up a job to look after you.
He is earning well too.

Loser. OK wait, I will call him.

The wedding is this evening uncle.
- What?

This evening?

Raghasudha?

Why did your father refuse?

Caste... Religion...

Hey boy.
- Uncle.

Who are you?

I'm Sundara. Suchitra's classmate.
I need the social book.

She hasn't been to school for ten days.

I haven't been in 20 days.
I need the social book.

Is that school even worth going to?
You won't get anything here. Go away.

Uncle... Suchitra?

I've taken her out and
enrolled in Delhi school.

Oh! She is not coming to school then?

No. That school will spoil her.

So I enrolled her in a boarding school.

Go away.

uh hmm

'Ganapati bappa, morya,
Mangalamurthy, morya.'

Hey, our gang should
be present at every booth.

The rogues will sneak in
fake voters otherwise.

It is taken care of boss. Our boys will
be everywhere. No need to worry.

Joseph, come on boy. - Greetings boss.
- Come sit

How are you boss?
- Tell me about you.

Boss, you got me a great job.
The owner takes care of me well.

Narayana is a childhood friend.
So I put you up with him.

Boss have some sweets. - Why?
- It is from my first salary. - Good.

Have some, take.

Boss, I take leave. - To meet friends?
No sir, to meet Raghasudha.

Hey Joseph, wait. Sit down.

What happened boss?

Raghasudha...

Got married.

'Anklets and earrings,'

'Are they just ornaments?'

'Does the manly heart,'

'Feel the tremors'

Joseph...

'The nuptials are a Gordian knot'

'Can fate trump true love?'

'Who seeks the life that is blank?'

'Who seeks the life that is blank?'

Oh! Look at you. Awaiting
your fortune tomorrow.

Tomorrow, g-ga

T-they are c-c-coming
for the Ganesha idol

You haven't slept well for days. Rest.

Hey, you are tired. I said sleep.

S-s-Sundara?

He has gone out with other
kids. He will return. You sleep.

Ganesha!

Why did you cheat me?

I considered you my boss.

Why did you take away Suchitra from me?

She will never come back.

You did this on purpose.

As y-y-you instructed...
- I had confidence in you.

G-ganesha, I did. L-look

What have you done? Speak up.

Speak up.

Why are you silent? Talk.

Tell us.

You ruined my reputation.
- We had faith in you. But...

I d-don't k-kn...

I w-will g-get it done n-now.

Asma, tomorrow I will be your husband,
and you will be my wife!

I am thrilled imagining it.

Hold the thrills. Don't be late for the
marriage registration tomorrow.

I will be there before the office opens.

And...
- What?

You never said you love me.

Why don't you say it now?
- Here?

Let it be anywhere. Just say it.

OK. I will leave.

You did not say it.

See you tomorrow.

I loving you...

Hey, stop there.

You come to the NR Pet Dargah right?

Yes, so what?

Whats your name..

Why do you want to know?

This is the last warning...
- Hey, let boss do the talking.

Boss, you tell her.

Coming from our faith,
aren't you ashamed of your profession?

I will do as I wish.
Who are you to question me?

The film was great.
- I wanted to come, but...

We have to be at the registrar by 10.
But where is Asma?

I am wondering. She should've been here.

Come, let's check at her place.
- Hmm

Where is Asma? Asma...

Beedi, what happened to him?
Hey Katte, what's wrong?

'Don't cry, do not'

'She lives on'

'She slipped out of your grasp'

'But she awaits'

'Love never dies,
she remains forever faithful'

'Don't cry, do not,
she lives on'

'She slipped out of your grasp,
but she awaits'

'Love never dies,
she remains forever faithful'

Speak of love once more
and I will throw you both out.

Aren't there no other places to go?
- You be quiet Varu...

Keep quiet, move.
- Allow me to speak mom.

Why did you stop me?
No need to get scolded from him.

This is all my fault.
We shouldn't have come here.

There would be no Raju, no marriage.

You cry on. I will do the needful.
- Who are you calling?

Calling Raju.

Why?
- To elope with you.

What? No one elopes at this age.
What will people say?

Tch. Did you not realise this in love?
- Forget it. Give me the phone.

Give it to me. - Quite mom.
- No, don't call.

I am telling you Lakshmi. Listen.

'Haasini madam is calling'

Hello...

Dad...
- Dad eh?

Hello, who is this?

Don't act innocent. Who will
call you dad from mom's phone?

I’m Vara.

Oh! Varalakshmi.

Come home and take away mom now.

Where to?

Tch, how do I teach this old man!

Elope with my mom now.

Hey, tch. How can you say that.
It is not possible.

Why? Are you scared? Tell me,
are you really man enough?

Is this how you talk?

How else would I? Goodness is not
enough. A man needs to be bold too.

You talk of my manliness?

Why else would you wait?
You would've married her long ago.

Don't play hide and seek.
Love is not for the timid.

Hey, you call me timid?

I was being polite...

I am not the sleeping Buddha.

Stop these one-liners.
Come and take your woman.

You challenge me? Wait.

Your mother, is mine.
'Kids these days, I say...'

Raju, hey man.

'Where is he going? Looks like trouble'

Do we need this marriage?
I am scared.

Girls should not hide their emotions.
Go now.

How can you say that?
- Come on, go.

Come on madam. She speaks a lot.
I will show her today.

Don't badmouth my daughter.

Let's discuss that later. Come on now.
- Uncle is coming hurry.

They are running away, fast.
Hurry up.

Move aside.

Madam.
- I am too tired.

They are here. Do we
need this at this age?

A little more...
- You are saying the same thing...

You are killing me.

They are here. Come madam.

I never ran so much in my life.
- Shut up and run.

Come on.

Your daughter won't listen.
She is mindless...

Talk about my daughter again
and I will kill you.

Hey Gopi
- Hit him. Beat him up.

Beat him.
- Gopi, listen to me.

Don't do that.
- You want my sister?

You want love at this age?

Trash him.
- Poor Raju.

You eye my sister?
- Gopi, what is this? Don't do this.

Gopi no...

No Gopi. Poor fellow.

Without your villagers,
we would never have married.

Yes, that's true.

The village stood behind us.
- Hm...

I have a doubt. Can I ask?

Ask.

Why did you never marry?

Hm. What can I say?
It is just like that.

Is there a love story? eh?

A love story...
Yes. There is.

When I was in school...

I was in love with Suchitra.

She was cute.

But, her father...

Separated us.

Then, I was around 23.

I fell in love with Raghasudha,
a Brahmin girl.

Due to family pressure,
she married someone else.

Then, around the age of 31 or 32...

I fell in love with Asma, a Muslim girl.

Just before our wedding.

She was murdered.

Who?

I still don't know why or who did it.

So, I kept away from love.

Now, I am entangled with you.
