Hi, sir.

Hi!

Hello.

Good morning guys.

Good morning. - Good morning. - Hi Chaitanya!

Hi!

Krishna, have you resolved the bugs that we identified in our program?

Yeah, we are working on that new development, Chaitanya.

Come on, guys.

It's already been two days.

We can't waste our time, can we, right?

Ankit, can you tell me the current progress of the project?

I am working on that program but...

True... But, we need to answer the client.

So, I want you to make complete documents on this.

Yeah, one second.

See this one, sir.

Hi, guys. - Hi, Ravi.

Good morning, sir. - Sit, sit.

Chaitanya, what's the update?

Yeah, Ravi.

So, we successfully completed the program to integrate

AI into the steamer ships... - [Phone vibrating]

but...

...there are a few technical glitches.

My team is constantly working to... resolve it.

Chaitanya, you take care.

You know, right?

This project is set to boost our company's turnover by 500 crores.

And, it would benefit your career a lot.

Don't you worry, Ravi.

We will do it without any delays.

Good, I'll see you guys later. - Thank you, sir.

So, that's about it, guys.

We have to make sure we finish it on time.

Just give me a minute. I'll be right back.

Okay.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello, uncle. - Son-in-law.

Sorry, I couldn't pick up your call, uncle. I was in a meeting.

Tell me, uncle.

I am right in front of your house.

Really?

That's a sudden visit. What's up?

Nothing much.

I'm here to sort out a small work-related land issue.

Since I came all this way, I thought it'd be nice to spend a little time with you.

Bummer! I am right now in the office.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

Alright, fine. Come.

[Vehicle approaching]

Oh, dear!

That's a great car.

Uncle?

Are you well?

Yes, I'm doing well.

Come inside. - Let's go.

Come in.

How interesting! The lights turned on as soon as you clapped.

That's nothing.

[Claps hands]

Wow!

You clapped again, and the fan turned on by itself.

Sit down, uncle.

What happened? That way.

What happened, Uncle? Why are you all wet?

After I finished, I wanted to clean up, so I looked for the switch.

Once I found it and turned it on, water poured over me.

[Laughs]

Turns out, you don't need to manually pour water it's sensor-activated.

Once you step aside from the commode, it cleans itself.

Really?

Nephew, what's your salary?

Two lakhs, uncle.

Two lakhs?

Does that mean you have to pack your lunch in the morning and work late into the night?

Well, it doesn't work like that anymore, uncle.

We can work from home.

If needed, then you go to the office. I work for five days a week.

Saturdays and Sundays are my days off.

Only five days of work and two days of leave.

And you can work from home?

That's called "Work from Home".

Uncle, what crops did you grow in the fields this time?

It's difficult to find good-quality seeds.

If I sow the seeds that are available, there's no guarantee of rain.

If there's too much rain, it's a loss; if there's not enough, that's a loss too.

Even if we're lucky and get a good harvest, the market doesn't pay well for the crop.

That's why I decided to quit farming.

I learned some electrical work, and that's what I'm doing now.

Why would you say that, Uncle?

Youngsters like us want to go to the villages and learn farming.

If people like you quit farming, how is that going to work?

Listen, nephew.

You can come to the village and...

take Instagram-worthy photos with hashtags like "fresh air," "light breeze,"

"cool air," and so on.

But the reality here is far from good.

If you want proof, just come and see for yourself. - [Cellphone rings]

Hello, Pranav.

This is heaven on earth.

Is that true?

Done.

Is everyone coming?

Alright, I'm starting.

Uncle?

I'll give you one of my good shirts. Wear it, and let's head to the party.

Party? Let's go.

[Music]

What happened, Uncle? Why are you surprised?

How wonderful! Such tall buildings!

The glass mansions you kept talking about are here.

That's true.

All these buildings are software companies.

Wow, they're really tall.

Is your office in such a tall building? - Yes, Uncle. My office is here too.

Can you see those two buildings over there?

The company I work for, "Subhishi Tech," is right between them.

Oh, good lord! You work at those heights?!

Do all these people work overnight?

They work on projects related to American companies and markets.

That's why they work overnight.

I get it now.

The software job is like the 11th avatar of Lord Vishnu.

[Laughs]

That's right.

Uncle, come in.

Hi, Chaitu. - Hi, buddy.

Why are you so late?

Okay let's go. - Who is he?

He is my uncle.

Uncle, come in. Come, uncle.

Finally, you are headed to the US. Congratulations.

Thanks, buddy.

[Gasps]

Girls are drinking alcohol.

He's the first one in our group to get married.

He received a good dowry as well, Uncle.

How much? - Five crores.

Five crores?

Take a look at this video. This was gone viral recently.

Hi friends. Namaste.

This is your Barrelanna (Buffalo Brother).

The last video that I posted turned viral.

It's crossed over one million views.

I've received a lot of comments, messages and phone calls related to that video.

But I am not satisfied.

You all know why.

Marriage.

Oh, this one.

He is from our village. Buffalo Brother.

He is a childhood friend of mine.

Really? - [Cellphone rings]

Hello?

What's your salary?

Four lakhs.

Four lakhs?

You are quite lucky.

Your nephew is quite lucky as well. He is currently doing a project.

He's currently working on a project, and if it's successful,

he'll receive a salary of ten lakhs a month,

which will send him to the US.

My dear nephew.

Chaitu? Have it.

Thanks.

Uncle, the whiskey is here.

Eighteen years old. Just for you.

Why would you get me something so old?

No, I am not going to have it.

Come to my village.

The toddy tappers will get fresh hot toddy straight from the tree early in the morning.

And we have it fresh. It gives us a good high.

[All laughs]

Cheers!

Cheers!

It's quite nice, nephew.

Shall I pour you another?

Yeah, it's very nice, right?

Hold on.

Uncle, slow down.

I am quite alright.

Where are you going? -I will be back.

[Music]

Uncle, come...

Uncle, come...

Sadi?

Sadi?

Isn't he here?

Hello, Rajavva. What's the matter?

The fan at home isn't working, son.

Please have a look at it.

How many times do I have to repair it?

It's not a recent purchase, nor is it something you bought a few years ago.

It's from the time when you got married.

How did you expect it to last this long?

This time when you head to the city,

I'll get you a fan that gets switched on when you clap.

What an idiot!

Did you really think a fan works if you clap? Are all your senses intact?

Stop your jabber!

I saw it in my nephew's house.

When you clap, the fan switches on and the light turn on.

When I head to the city this time, I'll get you one.

Please do hurry, son. It's quite hot.

Who are all these people?

Are they dead?

What?!

No! They are not dead.

They are the owners of big software companies.

I saw their photos in my nephew's house.

What does you nephew do, son?

He is a really big software engineer.

He earns two lakh rupees a month.

That's how it is.

You have such a nice lad in your own family.

Why don't you get Manasa married to him?

Let's go talk to them.

I am on it.

Call... Call Suguna.

[Cellphone rings]

Brother, how are you?

How is Manasa?

Everybody is fine.

I need to ask you something.

Didn't we already agree to get Manasa married to Chaitanya?

Let's get them married.

Yes, of course, brother.

Alright, fine.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Alright, brother.

Take care, sister.

You did a good job. My sister has said yes.

Dear?

What happened? Why are you shouting?

My brother called.

He proposed to get Chaitanya married to Manasa.

Isn't this what was already decided? Alright, let's do that.

[Cellphone rings]

No, Kishore.. that's a problem.

Mother?

Your uncle called and proposed that you and Manasa get married.

What do you say?

What will I say?

I shall follow what you and dad decide.

If that's the case, we will start preparations for the marriage.

Take leave and come.

You are obsessed with your work.

Alright, I shall come, mother.

Mother? Mother? Mother?

Well, did Manasa agree to the marriage?

Yes, she agreed.

That is why uncle called.

Alright, mother.

I shall come.

All these days you had Manasa's picture as the wall paper on your desktop.

But now, she's going to be right beside you in life.

Suravva, are you there?

Come, dear. Manasa, come.

How are you feeling now?

Have you been having all your medication?

Yes, child.

Well, you don't let me stop my medication either.

Every month, there is no guarantee that

I would get my pension but you sure do come with the medication.

Your blood pressure is a bit high.

Renuka?

Get the tablets.

No matter how many hospitals I go to, I never get better.

Just one tablet from you and my fever breaks immediately, child.

Take all your medication on time and have good meals.

Manasa, take this.

What for?

You don't have a mother and you take care of all of us like a mother would.

Keep it.

No, grandma.

The government pays me to do this job.

Please have the medication.

Renuka, let's go.

What's gotten you so angry?

Everyone in this village knows I don't have a mother,

but every house I visit brings that absence to the forefront, and they pity me.

Why is that?

This isn't something new that you are facing.

Don't get upset.

If it was said out of love, I wouldn't have gotten upset.

But they pity me.

That is why I am sad.

If they showed me was love, I wouldn't miss my mother.

When they keep reminding me of the mother that I lost,

I don't need their love or concern.

Why do you bother with that, my child? Let it be.

Let me do it, father.

It isn't a big deal.

Why did you call me so many times, father?

I wanted to tell you something.

Why are you crying like a child, father?

Nothing, dear.

I was feeling sad about you getting married and leaving me.

Why are you getting worked up over something

that's going to take a long time to happen, father?

Nothing, dear.

The day-before-yesterday, I went to Hyderabad and saw your cousin.

He has a high-paying software job.

Very soon, he might be heading to US as well.

I spoke to your aunt.

We agreed on getting you both married.

Why are you getting me married so soon, father?

And what's with this US plan?

Why don't you look for an alliance close by?

I want to stay close to you.

What nonsense!

Why would I get my daughter married to an ordinary man?

I will get her married to a guy with a software job.

You want to get me married, send me far away and get rid of my burden, father?

Why would you be my burden, dear?

You are my responsibility.

My selfishness is that you stay happy and comfortable.

Well, you are going where you were destined to go.

Then, why are you crying?

These are not tears of sadness.

These tears are born out of happiness that comes

from a father fixing up his daughter's marriage with a good groom.

[Cellphone rings]

Tell me, sister.

Your nephew agreed to the wedding.

He did?

I am numb with happiness, sister. I don't know where to start.

Don't fret, brother.

You got me married, didn't you?

Manasa is coming into your sister's family.

Let's all make this wedding a success.

Alright, sister.

Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

Why are you so anxious?

Aren't weddings supposed to be anxious?

I spoke to my sister regarding the wedding of Manasa and Chaitanya.

I came here to tell you that.

Did you ask Manasa if she is interested to get married?

How can she answer that?

Young ones don't understand the considerations of the older generation.

What exactly are your thoughts?

My nephew is like Shivaji.

He has a big software job.

He earns two lakhs per month. He is Suguna's son.

And you already know all his ancestry.

After the wedding, he's going to take my daughter to the US.

That is why I fixed up that marriage.

Once she gets married, you are going to be alone like me.

Why would I be alone?

I would have my respect with me, wouldn't I?

When I walk in the village,

people are going to talk about how my son-in-law is a software engineer.

Don't you know how proud that would make me?

Don't you see how happy that would make me?

I will wipe it myself.

Then do one thing.

After the wedding, come and stay here.

The father of a software engineer son and the father-in-law of

a software engineer son-in-law.

We will name the house as "Software house"

What do you say?

[Laughs]

Superb! Superb! Absolutely superb idea!

[Music]

"I cannot live, I cannot live"

"I cannot live without you for even a minute."

"It's a festival, It's a celebration"

"It's a festival when you fill my heart."

"Just like the lines of destiny on my palms predicted, you have reached me."

"You have beautifully caught all of myself."

"These rosy cheeks, this non-stop hiccups"

"I heard that you were coming to see me."

"You are my fate."

"You are my love note."

"You are my reward"

"You are the love tsunami that I am drowned in."

" I cannot live, I cannot live"

"I cannot live without you for even a minute."

"It's a festival, It's a celebration"

"It's a festival when you fill my heart."

[Music]

"I can only breathe in the presence of the doors to your heart."

"Even before you were born, I was written for you."

"Even though our villages are far, our hearts are in one place."

"Everyone knows that your in-laws place is my house."

"I feel that it would have been better if I was a bird."

"At any given moment, I could have easily landed near your presence."

"Looks like the nature has sought revenge upon me."

"It's only giving me access to this pleasure in doses."

"You give me the shivers."

"I will stand behind you and support you."

"The sound that my heart always makes is your name."

"When I see you, I feel like I have seen God."

"Happiness comes to me in crashing waves."

"You are my fate."

"You are my love note."

"You are my reward"

"You are the love tsunami that I am drowned in."

" I cannot live, I cannot live"

"I cannot live without you for even a minute."

"It's a festival, It's a celebration"

"It's a festival when you fill my heart."

Manasa, how are you?

I am well.

This is sudden. What brings you here?

I am on my way home. I wanted to see you.

Mother, that's enough.

I made your favorite lentil dish.

I wonder if you're eating well.

Mother, that's enough.

Have it.

I am hungry as well.

Please serve me.

You will not be served right now.

You will only be served food once you call your side of the family

and my side of the family,

and invite them for the wedding puja.

Now you know how she gets things done.

Go, go.

Hello, brother.

It's Venkatesh here.

What are you doing?

You must mix the curry well like this and have it.

Look how thin you've gotten.

Have it.

Uncle, don't come alone. Please bring aunt as well.

What are you doing?

Why are you feeding your son like you would feed a little child?

He is still my little child.

What happened?

Did you call everyone?

Yes, I called everyone. Will you at least serve me some food now?

Did you already call everyone?

If I keep calling the family from both our sides,

I would have to keep at it all night.

That is why I have a little trick up my sleeve.

What is it?

I created a WhatsApp group called "Laggam".

I've added relatives from both sides of the family

and posted a message inviting them for the bridegroom puja for the wedding.

Everyone is RSVPing.

Look at all those messages confirming their presence.

That's quite interesting.

Father has really updated himself.

Now, you can eat. - Alright, serve me.. I'll eat well.

Hi, brothers and sisters. I don't need an introduction.

I have no competition. I've given a holiday to all my buffaloes.

I told them that they are quite free to do as they please.

Until I choose this software job,

I am sure I will not be eligible for bridegroom puja or even for the wedding.

Hence, I have decided to show you my friend's bridegroom puja ceremony.

I am going to get up and close and show you all that's going on.

Follow me.

Where is my grandson?

Did you hide him?

Of course, yes.

I have a golden child.

She pampers him too much.

[All laughs]

Grandpa Ramaiah?

How are you? I am well.

Sit down, nephew.

Take a look friends.

Didn't I tell you about Chaitanya's bridegroom ceremony?

This is my friend Chaitanya.

Buffalo brother, you are quite famous on social media.

He is quite famous in the city as well, mother.

That might be the case but

I am unable to find a single girl who I can get married to.

[All laughs]

She is putting the vermillion mark on the foreheads of the elders of the village.

I will show you everything until the wedding is done.

I will not miss a thing. I will upload everything.

Enough with those rituals. What about the dowry?

We came so far.

How will we not talk about it?

Not just that.

We need to discuss the gifts you would present your daughter with

and the gifts for her sister-in-law right here and right now, brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law, please ask me. I have only one child.

I will give as much as I am capable of.

Listen, the bridegroom is from the extended family.

Suguna, his mother, comes from this family.

Venkatesh, what are your thoughts on the dowry?

Brother... Hold on.

Fifty lakhs worth of dowry, three kilos of gold and ten kilos of silver.

Krishna, stop it.

Why would we need dowry to get the girl married into her own family?

All we need is to get the wedding celebrated in a grand manner.

I will take care of the responsibility of giving everything to my daughter-in-law.

Brother?

You just need to take good care of the guests who come for the wedding.

Sadi, you have struck gold.

Your daughter is getting married into a good family.

Let's celebrate the wedding in a grand manner.

I am going to make sure it's a memorable wedding.

[All laughs]

Well, we are done with all the talking.

Start the bridegroom ceremony.

Grandma, my sister is coming over.

There's an event at our house, and everyone needs to attend.

Alright, I shall come, son.

Aunt, you must come as well. - Sure.

Sreenu?

Sreenu?

What happened?

I can see a lot of new relatives in the house.

They came here to take a look at my daughter.

Really?

My daughter's ceremony is today.

Just come with me, Saddanna. Please sit down.

[Snaps finger]

What is it that you do?

I am a farmer.

How many acres of land do you have?

I have five acres of land.

Is it black soil or red soil?

It's black soil.

Is irrigation done through borewell or through canals?

What is this father?

Why does he keep asking me? Is this an interview?

Brother? Hush.

Please adjust.

When it rains, we use the canals.

When it's sunny, we use the borewell.

If either of those doesn't work, the farm dries up. Is that enough explanation?

What crops have been put in?

What is this?

Earlier I grew peanuts.

But I couldn't tolerate the damage the porcupines did.

Now, I cultivate cotton.

Isn't cotton also damaged by pests?

What would you be left with?

We spray the farm with insecticide and we make good money.

My father and I have enough to spare for a couple of drinks every day.

What do you say?

Looks like the family has really good rituals.

How much do you pay the farm workers?

Why would we need to employ farm workers?

There are five of us in our family.

We do our own work.

When you marry our child here,

do you mean to suggest that she would have to go to the fields to work?

Is that all? - Yes.

Of course, she must do that. That is part of the household work.

Oh really?

Your daughter had great dreams regarding her husband.

You are going to get her married to this fellow and turn her into a laborer?

Do you want to get married to him?

Sadanna, I beg you.

Why do you want to ruin this alliance?

You don't need to match and neither this groom!

What is this man saying, father?

I will get you a good software groom like my nephew.

Will I be able to afford alliance with a groom who works in a software company?

Father, he wants a software groom.

Why are you still watching this like a fool? Let's go!

Let's be on our way.

Let's go!

They are leaving.

Stop, please stop. Sister? Sister, please.

Where are you going? Sit down.

Listen to what I have to say.

Just like the chicken in those chicken farms,

you can find plenty of software engineers in the pubs of Hyderabad.

Let's go and pick one amongst them.

Your daughter's life would be better.

Did you see how much Suguna loves her niece?

Sister-in-law, I wonder if that necklace is about 50 grams.

Love?

She just pities the girl because the girl doesn't have her mother.

She's doing all this to make sure no one notices this aspect.

Priest...

set the date for the wedding.

The bride and groom's horoscopes are a perfect match.

Based on their birth stars and dates,

the ideal wedding dates would be either the 10th or the 18th.

Therefore, we will set the date according to your preference

for either of these dates.

Priest, set the date for the 10th.

Could you please tell me where you would like to have the wedding?

It will be in Sindhura A/C hall in Kama Reddy.

That's not needed, brother.

Let's get them married right in front of our house.

She is the only daughter in our family.

It would be delightful to get her married right in front of our house.

What do you say, uncle?

Suguna...

Just because you were married in front of this house,

why insist on getting her married here?

My grandson-in-law is a software engineer.

We must get the wedding performed in an A/C function hall.

If this was a function, we would really do it there.

But this is a celebration.

We are not doing this for guests or people who just drop in to eat and forget.

We are doing this so that it will be remembered.

Let's celebrate it in a way that it's remembered, brother.

A girl's life truly begins only

after she steps outside the house to move to her in-law's home.

What could be better than this house, brother?

Manasa was born here and lived here all her life.

She must get married here.

Although Suguna left this house after her wedding,

she never truly let go of the affection she feels for it.

That is my sister.

Priest,

write that the wedding and the bride-giving-way

ceremony will be held at Chinta Madaka.

What do you say, sister?

Let's celebrate the wedding in a grand manner.

Same here.

It's been decided that on Saturday, the 10th, in the Krodhi year,

under the Vaishaka star, at 8:00 PM,

Chaitanya, son of Venkatesh and Suguna,

will marry Manasa, daughter of Sadhanandam and Neelamma.

[Priest chanting]

Krishna? - Yes, brother-in-law.

Take Barrelanna with you

and give the first wedding invite to the bride's family.

Alright, brother-in-law.

What happened?

What are you thinking about a lot?

There is an issue that is being discussed today.

On the day that I am to give judgement, only half my brain is working.

Only half your brain works.

Go and deal with the issue.

My father told me not to get married to her but what can I do now.

I must compromise.

That's how my fate is.

What is the issue here?

Sir, that hen is mine.

No, sir. That hen is mine.

He is lying.

No, sir. He is the one who's lying.

I swear on my mother that hen is mine.

No, sir.

This egg is the evidence.

Show me the butt of that hen.

Size...

Do you guys even know the lore of the chicken.

If that chicken is in your house, it's your chicken.

If it's in his house, it's his chicken.

If it's in my house, I will turn it into a dish by evening.

Sir, if needed, get a DNA examination of that egg.

The report will say that it's mine.

Why would I get a DNA test done?

Don't you trust my judgement?

Or is it that you don't value my judgement?

Innocent villagers.

Once you vote for me, you will have no speaking rights for the next five years.

Vari? - Sadanna, come.

Come and sit down. Sit down, brother.

My daughter's getting married.

You and my niece must come for the wedding.

Sadanna, I heard that you have planned a grand celebration for the wedding.

What does your son-in-law do?

He has a software job in Hyderabad.

He earns two lakhs per month.

After they get married, he's going to take my daughter to the US.

How did you find such a great groom?

He is my nephew.

My sister's son.

They have 40 acres of land in their village.

Your daughter is truly lucky.

Of course!

Listen, don't make excuses about solving issues and judgements.

Get your wife and come for the wedding.

Quite excited, sir.

Our entire team is working on it.

Yes, sir.

[Cellphone rings]

Just a minute. Just a minute.

Shivaji uncle?

What are you doing?

I am in a client meeting.

Anything urgent?

You always have meetings. I am getting married.

Yes, your father told me about it.

I don't know how you're going to manage it but please come.

I am in a client meeting.

I'll get back to you.

Bye.

He is always busy.

Brother...

When are you going to find a groom with a software job for my daughter?

I'm not doing this just for you.

I'll find software grooms for all the marriageable girls in our village.

Come with me. - Let's go.

Brother-in-law?

Yes, brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law.

It's my daughter's wedding.

You must definitely attend.

I shall definitely attend it.

We are naming our son.

I sacrificed two goats today.

Sit down and have a meal, brother-in-law.

I don't have all that time.

I must distribute all these wedding cards. I shall take my leave.

Brother?

You must name the child.

Me?

Yes, brother. Only you should do it.

Since you've taken the lead in turning this village into a software related village,

you must name the child.

Oracle.

Oracle.

Oracle.

Take really good care of him.

I've named him. Let's go.

What name is this?

This is nothing.

These days a lot of people are naming their daughters 'Rajashekar Reddy'.

Shoo! What lame games are you playing.

Get away from here!

Why don't you play computer games?

You will succeed in life.

What are you going to be when you grow up?

An auto driver.

You're going to be an auto driver, huh?

Sadanna, why are you hitting my son?

What kind of an upbringing is this?

I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up,

and he said he's going to be an auto driver.

What do you want me to do?

He's hanging out with the wrong crowd and is now under bad influence.

If I ever catch you playing with marbles again, I will break your balls.

Software engineer.

That's it.

Please come for Chaitu's wedding. You must surely come.

Hello, sister-in-law. We have fixed Chaitu's wedding.

You, my brother and your kids must be here two days before the wedding.

You must be here one week before the wedding.

Goodness! She is almost at a marriageable age.

Here is my wedding invitation.

You and my uncle must come a few days before and help with the preparations, aunt.

It's my son's wedding. You must definitely come.

He will surely become a software engineer.

I bless you to have a groom with a software engineer's job.

I have a lot of work. I shall take my leave.

It's my son's wedding. You must definitely come.

[Sighs]

These wedding chores are exhausting me.

Oracle!

Dotnet!

Infosys!

Deloitte.

What are you looking at?

Are you looking at this gold pendant?

This is a 24-carat gold pendant.

Get lost!

Get lost!

Looking for opportunities to steal, huh?!

Tirupati? - Yes.

Are you well? - I am well.

Did you come for your niece's wedding?

No.

I came to have your funeral meal.

Why do you say that?

You always keep asking me when I came and what I brought.

Always the same questions. - Stop your nonsense.

You can go about your business. Keep going!

Go away!

Hello, Tirupati. How are you?

Take as much care as me as your husband. I'll hug you from behind.

You.. Pervert!

You keep saying that but you really like me, don't you?

Disgusting! You are never going to change!

I would never change.

It's a good thing that I was in Dubai.

If not, I would keep hugging a lot of women from behind.

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law? Get up!

How are you able to sleep, brother-in-law?

Oh, it's you. When did you come?

Forget about when I came.

How could you have fixed up the marriage alliance of my niece without informing me?

Hasn't it always been on the cards? - How can you make that decision?

Don't you know what kind of people they are?

They look down upon us because we are not rich.

How could you think of sending my niece into such a house?

They are going to take us for granted, brother-in-law.

I don't agree to this wedding.

Whether you agree or not, this wedding is certainly going to happen.

How is that going to happen? - Why wouldn't it happen?

How will it happen? - Why wouldn't it happen?

I will not let it happen. - It will definitely happen.

I will not let it happen. - It will definitely happen.

I will not get her married into that household. - It will happen for sure.

Why are you the one making all the decisions?

I will never let it happen. Definitely not!

Shut up!

Brother-in-law, do you consider me a fool?

I went to Hyderabad and saw it with my own eyes.

They work only five days a week.

He earns two lakhs per month.

After the wedding, he's going to take my daughter...

to the US.

What can top this?

All you have to concern yourself with is whether you attended the wedding,

blessed the couple and had a wedding meal.

After that, you can be on your way.

What?

You mean to say that since my sister died,

I shouldn't concern myself with anything related to my niece, huh?

Isn't that what it means? If you want to stay, stay.

If you want to leave, you can leave.

I can choose whether to stay or leave, is it?

I shall see to it that this wedding doesn't take place.

Uncle Ganesh,

what are you thinking so hard about?

I am wondering as to the kind of wedding tent that I should erect.

If you are up for the task, let's set up the wedding tent as wide as the sky.

Setting up the tent is not the only task I have.

I have to get the goats sacrificed,

make the wedding feast with it,

call the musicians and the coordinate with the ones who erect the tents,

figure out the alcohol for the party.

I have a lot of work to do.

Sunitha, please bring me a cup of tea?

Alright, brother. - Go and get some tea.

You are the kind to delegate duties to others.

Who's going to believe that you will do all the work?

[Cellphone rings]

Hello!

I'm going to send someone called Ganesh.

We just need ten goats.

Who's going to go there? Not me.

I have a lot of work to do.

Bro!

Bro!

How are you?

I am very well.

You look like the ideal groom.

How's everything going?

Nothing really interesting happens in a village. You are a software engineer.

Your entire life is happy and secured. You have made a safe choice.

That is what you think.

People in software jobs handle a lot of stress.

You are a videographer.

You always have a vision. - Well said.

Buddy, I need a small favor.

Buddy, use your visionary eye and take some really good pictures of Manasa and me.

Make that your mission.

I will take such excellent photos of you. Just wait and watch.

Hi, sister-in-law. Namaste.

I am Chaitanya's childhood friend.

I am a famous videographer in this mandal.

I've planned a pre-wedding shoot for the both of you.

If you tell me the date, I'll schedule a photoshoot on that day.

I don't like these pre-wedding shoots.

You don't like them?

I will put you both on a boat,

make you pose like the titanic lovers and sprinkle dried leaves on you.

After that, I'll set you up on a hut. I'll use the flying cam.

It will blow people's heads off.

What do you think?

What is all this nonsense?

Pre-wedding, post-wedding, pre-delivery, post-delivery...

Why stop there?

You could even arrange a photoshoot before death,

with cotton stuffed in the nostrils.

Is this really our tradition, or just some ritual?

Didn't I tell you I'm not interested?

It doesn't matter if you don't follow the traditions.

This is just a trend.

If you don't follow it, you'll fall behind. Hold on a minute. - [Cellphone rings]

Chaitu, why is your fiancée not up to trend?

Why does she say that she doesn't want a pre-wedding shoot?

Give Manasa the phone one. - One minute.

What's the problem, Manasa?

I don't like this pre-wedding shoot.

Manasa, they planned this pre-wedding shoot for us.

If we do this, all these photos will become memories that will last a lifetime.

Sorry, cousin.

I don't like all this.

I am not comfortable with this.

Alright, fine. Let it go.

Give him the phone once.

Hello!

Let's not do something she is not comfortable with.

Let it go.

Bro, even if you let it go, I am not going to.

I will be right here and capture every moment like the Insta reel.

I will send you clips.

You can either put that up on your status page or do as you please.

Sister-in-law, please smile.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?

Yes, Pranav. What's happening?

Brother, where are you heading? - I have a bit of work.

Let's take that.

Where are you going?

Mom, I have a bit of urgent work. I will go to Hyderabad and be back.

Now?

Why now?

It's an emergency, father. I'll fill you in all the details after I get back.

Son? What's going on with him?

Why would he leave now?

Sorry, Chaitanya. Your leave has been cancelled.

You must leave urgently for the UK today.

Why would you make that decision so easily, sir?

We've already distributed our wedding cards.

Postpone your wedding.

Why don't you postpone it to next week? I'll give you a month's leave.

That's not possible, sir.

If we suddenly ask them to change my wedding date now, it will upset my entire family.

You are only thinking about your family.

You are not sparing a thought for this project or this company.

Don't forget that this company is your identity.

Sir, this job is important to me.

But my family is important to me as well.

If you want, I can send Raghu in my stead. I will coordinate from here.

I will solve the problem.

It doesn't work that way, Chaitanya. This is a huge project.

You know very well how important this project is for the company.

You have to go to UK.

If not, you can leave this company.

What is this luggage?

Mother, I quit my job. - Well done.

You are always busy with your work.

What are you going to do then?

He will get married.

That is all well and good. What is he going to do after that?

He'll look for another job.

I will farm. - Farming?

I am going to start a dairy farm.

I will happily stay with you.

My dear son.

Come.

Why would you let go of a good software job and do this?

What else would you want him to do? I'll hold it.

[Drums beating]

Kumaranna, please take the dowry.

Do you want to get married as well?

Why did you wear new clothes, Chaitanya?

After the ceremony, you will have to give these clothes to the barber.

Go and wear old clothes.

If I am to give away clothes, why give away old ones, aunt?

Let's give them new clothes.

He doesn't listen to us at all.

Come.

Linganna?

Why would you touch my feet?

Why not?

You performed the ritual to cleanse me of my impurities

to get me ready for my wedding.

You must have a great heart and the profession you are at is great as well.

That is why I sought your blessings.

I have performed this ritual for a lot of people.

But you are the only one who reminded me of the greatness of my profession.

May God bless you.

I get everything ready.

Good that everyone is here. Come on, it's time for the wedding bath.

"Come, dear ladies. I've pounded the jewels for you."

"Pounded the jewels for you."

"I've pounded the turmeric in this auspicious wedding venue."

"I've pounded the turmeric."

"We have woven the flowers in a sieve and a jasmine hair weave. Jasmine hair weave."

"The married women pound the turmeric. Pound the turmeric."

[Music]

"Come and have your wedding bath, dear groom. Come for your wedding bath."

"Come and have your wedding bath, dear groom. Come for your wedding bath."

[Music]

"Come and have your wedding bath, dear groom. Come for your wedding bath."

"Come quickly, dear groom. Come quickly, dear groom."

"This auspicious wedding bath is to turn you into a colorful guy."

"If you don't come, your bride is going to be worried."

"Now starts your sweet story. This marks the beginning of your sweet story."

"You and I have been finally fixed up in marriage."

"What could be a happier occasion than this?"

"Let's distribute the cards and ask everyone to come home."

"Now, we are going to have four eyes between us. We are going to share a home."

"It's starts with fruits and flowers and goes all the way to tying of

the sacred thread three times around your neck."

"The wedding is going to be just for half a day."

"But we will remember it for the rest of our lives."

"This is the sweet bond that we have picked out for ourselves."

"It's a wedding. It's a wedding."

"It's a wedding. It's a wedding."

"You are just like the Lord Rama from Bhadradri."

"She looks like the divine goddess Sita devi."

"Don't make your sweet heart wait."

"Go and sing sweet songs to him."

"Don't ask for jewels or precious stones, dear Lord Rama."

"You have a good man for a father-in-law."

"There is a goddess stepping into your house."

"Could there be anything wealthier than Goddess Sita Devi?"

[Music]

"The door to the house is shiny because of its mango leaves decoration."

"All the ladies of the house have come to welcome you with open hearts."

"The neighbors, the ritual performers and the musicians arrive with great gusto."

"Friends and family have gathered here with a lot of love in their hearts."

"At this moment, you are akin to Lord Shiva and his consort Goddess Parvati."

"In the school of life, this is the first grade."

"The ritual of placing cumin and jaggery on your forehead will make you his."

"This shy little doll is soon going to be a wife."

"Palm leaf pandals and the blooming festivities all around."

"The stars align to make us one."

'It's a wedding. It's a wedding."

"It's a wedding. It's a wedding."

"Your sisters tell you to dance and celebrate."

"Such celebration in our house must keep standards."

"We must dance and have fun all night."

"A wedding warrants such celebration."

"The entire neighborhood must be filled with festivities."

"Such wedding will be the talk of the town."

"The guests will go back to their houses and talk about it."

Show her this saree. Show me this saree.

I don't think these women's shopping will come to an end any time soon.

Why don't we go and get some tea?

Well said!

I don't think I've ever shopped this much, even in Dubai.

One minute.

Hi, friends.

Since you all want to see Chaitu's wedding,

today's program will focus on shopping for wedding clothes.

Look at how beautiful everything is here.

I wonder when I'll get married.

What's all this nonsense? You're always streaming live.

This is the current trend, uncle.

The other day, I live-streamed my sleep.

Five lakh people watched it throughout the night.

Forget about all that.

Why don't you find me a rich man's daughter in Dubai to get married to?

Yeah, as if!

Why don't you take a course on how to clean the toilets in the mean time?

Why would I need to take that course when you are around?

Brother, he reminded you of your place.

Do you want me to hold you from behind?

Definitely not!

Let's go have some tea. It's going to be great.

This will look good on you.

This will look really good on her.

I am sure.

Mother, won't this look good on Manasa.

Yeah, it's nice.

Chaitanya knows Manasa's tastes quite well.

Please fold them all, dear.

Aunt, not that one.

I like this one, Aunt.

No, no, not that one.

I know what you need.

Trust my choice.

This looks pale and worn. Put that there.

Look here. Look at how bright this is.

Show me that one.

Brother, namaste.

Aren't you the Buffalo Brother? -Yes.

I would like to take a selfie with you. -Come on.

Brother, place your hand on me.

What's the point of having his hand on you? Hold him from behind.

Stop teasing me, brother. -It'll look good.

Just take your selfie. Take the photo.

[Camera clicks]

Did you see how famous I am?

At times, even a famous person doesn't know why they are famous.

How much was that? - 200 rupees.

Here, take it. - Brother, stop it.

It's alright.

Keep it, brother. You might need it for the wedding expenses.

What?!

Did I clear it all?

Spend that on the wedding.

I will repay this insult.

The bride's relatives came to take the groom.

Tirupati? - Namaste.

How is Dubai? - It's really good.

Namaste. - Namaste.

Come in. Come in.

It's quite stuffy today.

Let's get into an A/C car.

Driver, please switch on the A/C. - No, that's not possible.

Why? Isn't there an A/C?

It's an A/C car. But the deal was for non-A/C ride.

It just costs 500 rupees. Why is he stingy?

The bride's uncle lives in Dubai, yet they are acting so miserly.

Let me know if you need more money. I will give it to you.

I even paid the bill for tea.

Who are you calling a miser?

Get down!

Get down from the vehicle first! Get down!

How dare you? Why are you running your mouth?

I've been observing your behavior since the day before yesterday.

You have the nerve to spare me 200 bucks

and ask me to keep it for wedding expenses?!

What do you think of me?!

I will thrash you!

You clean toilets in Dubai. How dare you raise your voice against me?!

How dare you call me a toilet cleaner?

I will crush this chair and thrash you. Your neck would break!

As if I am just going to stand here and watch you make the first move!

What the hell are you going to do?

Before you go, I'm going to break your...! How dare you?

Please, stop.

Hang on!

Calm down! Calm down!

Who the hell is going to stop me?

I will see to it that this wedding never happens.

It's a good thing that I live in Dubai.

If not, I would have kicked you and this wedding proposal to dust.

Please, stop. Calm down.

Please, stop. Stop it guys.

Ganesh, are you out of your mind?

And what's with you, Tirupati? He doesn't have any sense.

You've been to so many countries, and you have great knowledge of so many things.

How can you start a stupid fight at the wedding venue?

Senseless fools!

Uncle, what happened?

Look at him! Take a look there.

I'll talk to him. I'll deal with this.

Hang on a minute.

Who is he threatening?

Uncle, why are you itching to pick a fight?

Just be patient. Why should I patient?

Alaiyya? -Tell me, sir.

Come here and serve our guests well.

Tirupati, by the time this wedding is over, you should thrash Ganesh anyway.

Let him come. Let him come into the city.

I will mask him and thrash him.

If I don't thrash him, I will never set foot in Dubai again.

I swear on the toilets.

What is all this? What's all this junk doing here?

What's all this luggage in the room?

This is all Chaitanya sir's belongings.

He lost his job,

moved out of his place in Hyderabad, and brought all his belongings here.

He said he's going to be a farmer and stay here. -Farming?

He's also going to buy some buffaloes. -Buffaloes?

He's backstabbed my brother-in-law.

Stop.

We've just arrived at the bride's village.

This temple is where the wedding procession will start.

We will meet you guys. You guys stay here.

Go on.

We will be back. We will hurry back.

It's time to meet the guests from the other side.

Brother-in-law? Brother-in-law?

Come and sit here once. Sit down.

We are ruined.

Please tell me what happened. I'll be the judge of whether we are ruined or not.

Chaitanya lost his software job.

Not just that.

I heard that he's going stay in the village and farm.

He's purchasing buffaloes.

If that happens, your daughter will end up working the fields and working with dung.

It's true, brother-in-law. The other day when I warned you, did you listen?

You did not pay heed to my words. Now look at what happened.

Lingaiah, where is the bride's father?

Yes, the work is being done.

What happened, wife?

Hang on.

[Cellphone rings]

[Cellphone rings]

Suguna, what happened?

My brother is not picking up the call. Uncle, please call him once.

[Cellphone rings]

We are to have this ceremony now. Where the hell is Sadi?

Here I am, ending up as the elder for both the sides.

And I don't have my family here either.

Listen, please go ahead. We are missing out on the auspicious time.

Smile.

Why aren't you saying a word, brother-in-law?

If you give the order, I'll go and drive them away, stopping this wedding.

They didn't tell us that he lost his job, yet they're going ahead with the wedding.

This is your sister's personality.

The wedding is in an hour. If I try to stop it now...

people will try to convince me and force my daughter into marriage.

They cheated me by not informing me that he lost his job.

Just as they are trying to push the wedding forward,

watch how I'll stop it without giving them any hint.

I will make each and every one of them suffer.

[Band playing]

Brother?

The DJ (music) has started. Please hurry.

Move guys. Move.

Move. Move.

DJ Prakash is here... Move.

These people won't let anyone dance.

What is this?

Stop the music!

Just obey my brother's commands! Step aside!

Step aside! - Start.

Why did they start now?

They are dancing. Please wait.

It's time for the wedding. Why are you jumping around here?

It's time for the wedding. Why are you dancing now?

Stop it. Please ask them to stop.

Play that film song.

Step aside.

What nonsense are you causing at a time like this, right before the wedding?

If we don't stop them,

it'll be almost 2 o'clock in the morning before we can leave.

Barrelanna, please go and stop them

Hey... Why are you getting involved in such nonsense? Move away.

Can play in bharat but tell them to give way.

If we don't stop this DJ, he's going to dance all night.

Don't you have any sense? What the hell are you doing?

We are getting late.

Move aside!

Don't interfere.

Please continue, brother.

Don't you understand what's going on here?

If you dance, you get tired. If I dance, people get excited.

Just go away!

Don't you understand?

Hey, what the hell is this?!

Chaitu, stop.

Someone from our village was hit by someone!

The auspicious time is almost upon us. What's all this fighting?

Go and stop Chaitanya.

If you hit DJ, it's like hitting the whole village.

What is all this nonsense?

You came here for a wedding, and how dare you hit one of our men?

We won't spare anyone.

What the hell are you doing?

Let's see how you manage to get this wedding done.

How dare you hit our DJ?

No one leaves from here.

Violence will be returned with violence. We will not let this wedding happen.

Doesn't matter where, we will not back down.

Hey, Chaitanya!

What's wrong with you? Why did you hit them?

He has gathered the support of the entire village and wants to stop the wedding.

I hit him to stop this wedding.

You want this wedding to be stopped?

What are you saying?

Dance, brother. Just do it, brother.

Do it.

What happened?

Why is Sadanna coming here? That is what I don't understand.

He thrashed you really hard.

How dare he?

Even if he is my nephew, it's wrong to hit someone from my village.

Exactly!

Listen, you don't back down.

Even if it's family, justice takes predominance.

Right!

If you ask me to choose between my house and the village,

the village wins hands down.

You offered to provide music for my daughter's wedding free of charge.

You must really care for me.

Even if my nephew comes and pleads with you, don't agree to this wedding.

It doesn't matter if this wedding breaks.

If the situation arises

where my daughter and son-in-law must break their wedding alliance,

ensure that they sign a document granting my daughter

the freedom to marry whoever she wishes.

Why should I get his son-in-law to sign the document?

I am filled with deep sorrow...

We have no choice, brother.

The person who gets beaten up should make the document.

Why is everyone acting so weird?

You consider yourselves so high and mighty, is it?

You came and thrashed our DJ brother.

Do you really expect this wedding to take place?

Do you consider yourself heroes? We will thrash you.

You consider us fools?

Do you think we would keep quiet when you come at us? We will thrash you as well.

Who do you think you are... - Stop this nonsense!

You mean to say you are the only people who get to make the decision here?

Where is the victim? He must attend these sessions.

He is getting his wounds dressed.

Why don't you wait? He should be here soon.

Brother?

Get up!

Sit, brother. Sit.

[Snickers]

DJ might be stupid and must have done a foolish act.

But the groom is at fault for hitting that person.

Look at his face. Look at how badly his wounds are dressed.

That's right. My brother here is a big fool.

Even then, he left his shame to dance for the wedding party.

Does that warrant thrashing?

It may or may not be right to hit you.

But it's wrong to stop the wedding from happening.

Let's talk it out now and get the marriage done.

I will get him to apologize and ensure that this wedding happens.

DJ, what is it that you want? You want an apology, don't you?

Is that all? They will apologize. Yes, I want that.

If I don't get it, forget about this wedding.

I will ensure no wedding happens anywhere.

Listen, Sadanna.

I hope you're noticing this.

Please get your nephew to apologize to DJ.

I will get my son to apologize.

He must come to my house and apologize.

Most certainly.

This issue is resolved.

Go and get the wedding started.

Call us when the mutton curry is ready.

Hey, let's go. -Let's go.

He should come to the house and ask for an apology.

Hey! -Brother.

When Chaitanya comes and apologizes, make sure you start the music.

I must show him my moves.

Brother, the equipment is ready. We are just waiting for him to come.

Once he comes, we are going to smash him with the sound.

Don't mention 'smashing'. I can only remember how he thrashed me yesterday.

Exactly, brother. I was talking about the sound effects.

Welcome, the DJ equipment is waiting for you.

Thanks, DJ.

What's going on here? Why is he thanking me instead of apologizing?

Tell him "No thanks".

No thanks.

If you don't apologize to me, forget about your wedding.

I will ensure you will never touch the sacred thread ever again.

Is it possible for you to stop this wedding until I apologize?

Yes, I can. I swear on my DJ equipment.

I will ensure no one raises their voices in protest.

If so, make sure that this wedding doesn't happen.

Prove to me how tenacious you are.

I will see what you are capable of.

What is he saying?

He is indirectly asking me to stop the wedding brother.

We directly stopped the wedding. -Yes, we did. Didn't we?

What can he do?

Uncle, come with me once.

Chaitanya, did you apologize to DJ?

I won't apologize to him, aunt.

Why would you say that, dear?

They hit us and we hit them back. The score is settled.

There's no way I am apologizing to him.

Chaitu, how can you be so stubborn? Please apologize to DJ.

We can deal with the rest after the wedding.

No, father. I apologize for my behavior.

But there is no way I am apologizing to him.

We shall see what happens. Please don't force me.

That's all.

What's wrong with him?

[Cellphone rings]

Why don't you say something? Please go and talk to the DJ once.

Please make sure that this wedding happens, brother.

All the villagers stand together.

They don't want this wedding to happen.

They keep saying that they are going to file

an 'attempt to murder' case against your son.

I stopped them.

Don't worry at all.

After that DJ's anger subsides, I will do something about it.

Brother, I know how sad you are by this turn of events.

I am upset thinking about Manasa.

Give me the phone. Give it to me.

Sadi, what do you think we should do?

Looks like this might get bigger.

The entire village is on one side.

They are looking for an opportunity to hit Chaitanya.

Just go back to your village, brother-in-law.

At the next available auspicious time, let's get the wedding done.

Please listen to me.

What's going on?

Why is he talking about another auspicious time?

What do we tell our relatives?

We will lose all respect.

Please stay for a day, dear. Everything will be back on track.

My husband tells me that this wedding will not happen.

He's telling us that we should leave. We shall take our leave, sister.

Let's go, sister-in-law.

Chaitu?

Why don't you apologize to them once?

Everything will go back to the way it was.

I gave my word at the village council meet.

I told them that I will get you to apologize.

Is there any respect for my word in this house?

Calm down, husband.

Chaitu, our lives might be ruined because of our problems.

But someone else's life must not be ruined because of our problems.

Please, my darling son. Please apologize.

Tell them, Chaitu.

Please, tell them. Please, apologize.

Chaitu, why don't you understand?

Manasa's life is ruined because of you.

That girl's reputation has been tarnished in public. Doesn't this make sense to you?

Why would he give this a thought? We are the ones without our senses intact.

We made a mistake by arranging for this alliance.

We ruined her life.

It would have been better if Manasa was born to me instead of you.

Manasa has never said no to me ever.

You put her in deep trouble.

Mom, you asked me if you liked this marriage.

Father asked me the same.

Even my uncle asked me the same question.

He asked me if I approve of this marriage alliance.

It would have been better if you had asked this at least once to Manasa.

You would have known that she doesn't want this wedding.

She thinks that all these years we have taken pity on her

because she doesn't have a mother.

She says that we don't love her.

If you had only tried to understand what was in her heart, you would have understood.

We would not have been in this situation.

Let's go.

Where should we go?

Don't any of you understand what I am going through?

I'm heading to a place where I'll have to stay awake

for the rest of my life to find happiness.

Why would you say that? You are headed to your very own paternal aunt's house.

That isn't my aunt's house. It's a prison.

I am scared.

Ever since I was young, my aunt, uncle and my cousin took pity on me.

That is why I don't like people pitying me.

[Crying]

Calm down.

When it was the goddess festival and I decorated the goddess in my house,

I made sure that she lit the lamp.

When it was the festival of offerings for the goddess,

I made her mount the offering on her head.

When she was sick, I sacrificed goats for her recovery

in front of the various Goddesses.

Until now, I've always wished that she was born to me.

Calm down.

I didn't know that this is what she thought of me.

I thought I was her mother.

How can she mistake my love for pity?

[Crying]

[Laughs]

Well played, brother.

[Cellphone rings]

Brother, please come to my house. We need to speak.

I shall come.

Who was it, brother-in-law?

It's my sister Suguna.

What's this again?

Calm down.

Namaste, Sadanna.

Tirupati, how are you?

Sit down, please.

A day or two ago, Sadanna was quite happy.

It's unfortunate to see his face looking gloomy and lackluster.

She is his only child.

How do you think he feels about the wedding being ruined?

Please don't feel too bad, Sadi.

That young fellow is an aggressive one.

Let's talk to him and get the wedding back on.

Brother-in-law, I don't see these people letting our plans work.

I shall start working on it.

The entire fault is my brother-in-law's.

My brother-in-law heaped praises on the boy because of his software job.

It's good that the wedding has come to a halt.

Please stop it, Tirupati.

There is no way this wedding will take place again.

What the hell are you saying?

Tirupati, it's wrong to speak that way.

Listen...

Since the groom himself said that he won't apologize, I will not persuade him.

I will get a better groom with a software job and get him married to her.

What the hell are you talking about?

You just have to agree to it, brother-in-law.

I'm going to find an amazing groom for her.

Brother, you have a nephew who does a software job.

Why do you need another groom?

Shut up.

Listen, elders.

Sada is my brother.

Manasa becomes my daughter.

Ramanna is our Elder.

That's why this wedding must happen. We must get them married.

Yes, we must. -We have to get them married.

Yes, get them married.

We should get it done. -Yes, we must.

We will never get this wedding done. Brother-in-law, get up from there.

We don't want this alliance. Come with me.

Hang on. Stop there.

Looks like Tirupati left his brain in Dubai and came here.

Why is he dragging Sada away when we are speaking to him?

We are in his house. Where is he going?

That's right.

Chaitu, how much are you going to drink? Please stop drinking.

My mother likes Manasa a lot.

I like her because my mother likes her.

I know that.

How can she say that we've only pitied her

and are going to continue doing the same in the future?

How can she say that we didn't love her ever?

I don't understand this.

I don't know whether to get angry at her or pity her.

Buddy, why don't you explain to her in a way that she understands?

What should I tell her?

All these days, when Manasa spoke to me, I thought that she hid her feelings for me.

When Manasa spoke what's in her heart today, it pains me.

I am unable to handle this, buddy.

[Crying]

Calm down, buddy. Calm down.

Here you are, dear.

Hi.

God must have mercy on you, dear.

You lost your mother when you were young.

Now, he stopped you wedding and left you here.

Why is the God doing this to you?

Yes, Grandma.

Since the God knows the truth, he stopped the wedding.

Since life doesn't stop, he sent me to work.

Don't be upset about this and spoil your health.

Alright? -Alright.

Don't mess with her.

She is angry that her wedding is ruined.

She might even give you the needle.

Manasa, we just got a call from the health department.

There is a seminar organized by the health officer over this weekend.

You must definitely attend.

It would be very helpful for us.

Okay? -Okay.

Damn it! Some lives are just the same!

How is Manasa?

Ever since this wedding got ruined, she hasn't been eating well, sister.

I am very worried about her.

Let's not get them married, brother.

Let's stop thinking about having them married.

Thank god!

Why would you say something like that?

This wedding shouldn't affect our relationship, brother.

I must always come to tie Rakhi to you.

It's not right to get Manasa married to this household when she doesn't like it.

My daughter doesn't like to get married into this house?

How did I miss this?

Alright, fine. Whatever you say.

We must be together and united.

Our children must be in a better position than us.

Well said, sister. We will do as you say.

Alright.

Welcome to Varamala marriage bureau.

We have a fantastic offer.

Buy one get one free.

I want to find a good groom for my daughter.

Transco? -No.

Genco? -No.

Tapala? -Tapala?

What about Kapala? -What does that mean?

It means a security guard.

I want a software engineer for a groom. -Oh?

He must have at least two lakhs in salary.

After he gets married to my daughter, he must take her to the US.

Okay.

Infosys? -Yes.

Wipro? -Yes.

Deloitte? -Deloitte.

Oh?

Listen, hurry up and bring the groom home.

Amir, bring the groom from Deloitte.

Hello, sir. Hello.

How are you?

Thank you.

Dear colleagues, this is our District Health Officer Dr. Ravi Verma.

Today, he is going to talk to us about public health.

Well, the mother and child welfare department have given special orders.

Pregnant women, children and elderly are to be given even more attention and care.

We are taking great care regarding them, sir.

You should never discharge your duties for salary,

out of pity or out of a sense of compulsion.

Serve with love.

Why would you say that, sir?

Our job is to take care of their health.

If you feel someone's pain, it's pity.

If you internalize that pain, it's love.

I will tell you a story about a person as an example.

A man went into the forest to hunt.

During his hunt, a lion attacked him.

In the process of escaping from the lion's attack, he suffered great injury.

He went for treatment at the edge of the forest,

to an old woman's place that uses various herbs.

That old woman took that man in, considered him her son

and treated him with utmost attention and love.

The injured man may have recovered quickly thanks to the old woman's loving care.

After that, he left to his own village.

After a while, that man built a huge hospital for

that old lady with all the necessary facilities.

He sent his guards to invite the old lady to his village.

That is when the old woman realized that she treated the king.

But she rejected his offer because she assumed that the king did this out of pity.

When the king heard about that, he personally went to meet the old woman

and told her that he did all that out of love and not out of pity.

You have mistaken my love for pity.

If you see someone's pain, it's pity. If you form a bond, that is love.

Pity is fleeting. Love is eternal.

In relationships, there is no pity. There's just love.

That is what the king said.

That is when the old woman realized the difference between love and pity.

So, my dear colleagues, provide your services with love.

[Applause]

Manasa, take my scooty. It's a challenge everyday to get to college, isn't it?

Who gave you the scooty?

My cousin gifted it to me.

This is an old scooty. He must have pitied you.

Well, you must be used to it by now. You always take your cousin's used stuff.

Renuka, bring the necklace that Suguna gifted her.

I got new clothes tailored for you for the festival.

Throw away your old clothes. Wear this and come.

In relationships, there is no pity. There's just love. - [Sobbing]

What happened, Manasa? Why are you crying?

All this while, I was sad because I was under the mistaken impression

that my aunt and her family pitied me.

But when I am thinking about it now,

They did not pity me. I can now understand that it's love.

I made a huge mistake by saying no to this wedding.

Your cousin is the one who doesn't want this wedding to happen.

He is the one who stopped this wedding.

When DJ came to me for treatment, he told me about it.

My cousin deliberately stopped the wedding from happening?

That means... Doesn't my brother-in-law like me?

What happened, Manasa? What brings you here?

Why did you stop the wedding?

What is it, Brother-in-law? Why don't you say anything?

Why discuss all that now?

Tell me, Brother-in-law.

Why did you cancel the wedding?

Don't any of you understand?

I will constantly be starved of happiness all my life in the place

that I am headed to.

That is not my aunt's house. It's a prison.

We always assumed that my mother

and I are two of the favourite people in your world.

But we can't stand the thought that you don't want us in your world.

My mother is a fool. She doesn't know anything other than love.

Get married to the software alliance that your father is trying to fix you up with.

I will find a good girl who understands my mother and my feelings.

All these years I thought it was aunt's love that I misunderstood.

But that's not it.

I misunderstood a mother's love.

Please forgive me, brother-in-law.

I love you.

[Music]

"Immediately after you were born, they named you."

"As soon as you were born, you were mine."

My golden girl, "Please be kind and change your surname to mine."

"Your mother-in-law has gotten a great saree ready for you."

"My entire village is awaiting you."

"I like how excited you are."

"I'll tell my father about this."

"The thought of getting married to you is making me blush."

"I have to go and pay what I owe to the Gods for such great blessings."

"They will take us and remove the evil eye cast upon us for our happy marriage."

"Oh priest, listen to my words." "Even our horoscopes match."

"The childhood games of house that we played,"

"have turned into reality. Our games of fun turned into reality."

"My aunt Suguna's son, when are we going to have the wedding bath?"

"My neighbours keep asking me when is our wedding."

"Neelama's daughter, we are tied to each other."

"It's written in the stars that you are going to live with me."

[Music]

"My grandmother has hidden lovely bangles for you in her cupboard."

"My mother is getting the sweat meats and savoury snacks ready for our wedding."

"I must go to the city and buy new clothes."

"I must head to the goldsmith and order to a new pair of golden earrings."

"You must wear the keys of the new cupboard that we get on your waist."

"We must get the wood that my uncle arranged for and turn into a double bed."

"It's taken me ages to grow this moustache."

"And now it has done the job of making you fall for me."

"I live in the hut but this auspicious moment came forward for me to seize."

"I think it knows where we live."

"My aunt Suguna's son, when are we going to have the wedding bath?"

"My neighbours keep asking me when is our wedding."

"Neelama's daughter, we are tied to each other."

"It's written in the stars that you are going to live with me."

[Music]

Brother, what about my daughter's situation?

Stop irritating me!

There you are. -My niece is here.

Daughter, I don't like it that I've fixed up a marriage

that you don't like with your cousin.

That is why I called your aunt and cancelled the wedding.

I will get you a better match and get you married in this same wedding venue.

The potential groom will come to see you tomorrow. Go in.

Manasa, what happened?

My father searched for another potential groom who is a software engineer.

Why would he do that?

Our wedding was cancelled quite recently. How could he have gotten a match so soon?

My father got to know that you lost your job during the ritual of

beginning the wedding ceremony.

He wanted to stop the wedding at any cost.

But you stopped the wedding instead.

If my mother finds out that uncle agreed to this wedding just because of the job I had...

...she will not be able to take it, Manasa.

I'll tell aunt about us, cousin.

Please don't say anything until then.

I want you, cousin.

I cannot live without you.

Manasa, it's the same with me as well.

You don't worry. I will make sure that we are married.

What is the groom's name?

He is Deloitte Diwakar.

What?

Decoit Diwakar?

Please elaborate to avoid confusion. - Okay.

Deloitte. Deloitte.

Oh, Deloitte?

Who is this foolish looking man?

Was he referring to me? -Yes, you.

[Gasps]

Sir, you asked for a software groom. Here he is.

Oh?

That's how it's done.

Brother-in-law, he's coming this way.

Why did you come here now?

Don't worry, uncle.

Even if the wedding is ruined, you will not stop being my uncle.

She will not stop being my brother-in-law.

It is of course my responsibility to know

if that potential groom is indeed a software engineer.

I came here to test him.

Brother-in-law, he is right.

Don't worry.

Let him ask his questions.

I will hold him from behind to ensure that he doesn't escape.

You go ahead.

Sit down.

Hi. I am Chaitanya.

Hi, this is Diwakar.

Despite my appearance, I am a software engineer.

Oh?

Could I ask you a few questions?

Who exactly are you?

I am her cousin.

No problem. Proceed.

What's the first quality that a software engineer must have?

He must have the desire to earn a lot of money.

What do you say, father? -Exactly right.

Yes, right.

There are lots of career choices available in this world.

Why did you want to become a software engineer?

What is this, bro? This is a very simple question.

Before I got a software job, I worked at a Xerox shop.

After I got employed at the Xerox shop,

I would photoshop a lot of books and would end up reading a lot of books at night.

In that there's C++, Java, Viva, Miyammal Guava...

What?

I learnt all these courses and became a software engineer.

Oh, cool cool bro.

You mean to say that your journey started at the Xerox shop

and ended at being a software engineer?

Is your degree original or a photocopy?

It's original.

Why? Do you want a photocopy?

Daddy, why don't you say something?

Well said, my son.

Why should we choose you as the groom?

That's because you are particular about wanting a software engineer for a groom.

Father, what do you say? -Yes.

What is your platform?

My working platform is Hp001.

Hp001?

You need to have a minimum qualification of at least

a bachelor's degree to understand what I tell you.

What degree is he talking about?

Did you see how well he spoke in English? -Yes, yes.

Software engineer.

What are you writing?

The software groom is giving us tips on how to earn lakhs of rupees.

Write it down.

Haven't seen this sight in a while now! I ruined the wedding.

Why didn't he apologize and how could this one get married?

I will never agree to this wedding. That's all.

Software engineers don't apologise.

Hardware people teach a lesson.

Daddy, please sit.

The other day, you passed a judgement that he must apologise to me.

But Sadanandam got this man here as a potential groom.

Do you consider me a fool?

What is all this fuss, brother? Do you take me for a fool?

Sadanadam came to my house and asked me to have a document signed by him,

stating that anyone eligible can marry her.

Chaitanya challenged me to stop the wedding.

Stop this nonsense!

Uncle, I like your daughter a lot.

I want to get married to her. I don't want any of these sentiments and formalities.

Bring her to the temple on the 18th of this month.

The wedding will be in the temple and I'll tie the sacred thread around her neck.

Our honeymoon will be in Bali.

What do you say, father?

Let's go.

Husband?

Yes.

My heart is not at peace.

I shall spend a few days at my brother's house.

Alright.

Why do you get sad?

What has to happen will happen.

We can only give birth to children. We don't give birth to their fates.

Go and come back.

Uncle Srinu?

What happened? Why are you pretending not to see us?

Brother? Your nephew?

Shut it! Get lost.

Didn't a potential groom come to see your daughter the other day?

When is the wedding?

What a horrible match!

Apparently, that groom is a farmer. He is not right for us.

That is why we are headed to meet a potential groom who has a software job.

Is that so?

What if you don't like him either?

We will keep searching until we find someone we like.

I will only search for a groom with a software job.

So, you're going to waste your time, is it?

Someone who's gone through losses will talk about his experience.

Only those who are ignorant will talk about morals. Just like him.

Uncle Srinu, tell him that putting up pictures of Tech CEOs will not cut it.

He needs to work for them.

Right now, I am working on feeding them.

That should give you some insight into what's going on.

Perhaps he has forgotten and so let me remind him.

A software engineer doesn't have time to eat a single proper meal in a day.

And he claims that he's working to feed them.

All those people might be okay with skipping a meal or two

but will not be able to live without a computer.

Stop it, brother.

I am confused as to who I should give my daughter in marriage to.

Is software engineer a better choice or is it a farmer?

That is why I told you not to stop and chat.

If we are late, we might miss out on the opportunity to meet

our next potential groom.

Let's go. -Let's go.

He's giving unnecessary advice.

What's going on, Chaitu?

If you had only kept working on that job, your uncle would have

taken the initiative of marrying his daughter off to you.

Now look at what's going on?

Why did you quit such a good job?

Grandpa?

Grandpa?

Come, grandson.

Have you just come now?

My mother sent you some clothes.

My mother said that you must wear these clothes for the wedding.

In fact, she insisted on it many times.

Why do I need all these things, child? Your mother can't sit still.

You are the eldest at the wedding

and will have a lot of responsibilities to discharge.

I wanted to invite Shivaji, your son, for the wedding and called him numerous times.

He is always busy.

He rarely calls me and speaks only for a few minutes. That's all.

He asks me all the predictable questions such as how I am,

whether I've eaten and what I'm up to.

He wants to know everything in those few minutes. That's what his job does to him.

Since I have a son who is a software engineer.

Didn't your son invite you to meet him in US?

He did call me. Once or twice.

I told him that I wouldn't come.

I can't leave this village, the people here and my farms.

He can't leave his work to come here.

Don't be sad, grandpa.

We are here for you.

When he said that he wanted to study, I sold my farm.

I wasn't upset.

When he said he wanted to study further, I took a mortgage on the house.

I was never upset.

I did everything for him but when he is not in front of me,

how can I not be upset, child?

I didn't want to stand in the way of his dreams.

When he said he wants to go out, I sent him abroad.

I was not upset.

I'm growing old, and my life feels like a fading light.

The distance between us has increased.

I am scared that we will always be apart and distant.

I thought that you are brave because your son is well settled.

I just got to know today that there's such sadness in your heart.

That day, when I spoke to Ramaiah grandpa,

I saw the same fate awaiting my father and mother.

The sadness of being apart outweighs

the pride of watching their children succeed from afar.

That is why I've decided to be with them.

Why did she come?

I wonder what trouble she will cook up.

What happened, sister?

My heart is not at peace.

I came here to spend a few days.

Thank goodness.

What?

Nothing. Come inside.

Manasa, where are you going?

To the hospital, aunt.

You look haggard.

Did you eat something?

Of course, not.

Sit down.

I'll get you something.

Sit down, child.

You don't cook and neither are you eating well.

There's no one beside you.

Look at how frail you've become.

What happened? Why are you crying?

Oh no!

You don't like spicy food.

When you said that you were hungry,

I immediately put some chilli powder with the rice as instant mix.

Here, darling girl.

Try to calm down.

Sugunamma? Sadanna?

Grandpa Ramaiah passed out.

Hello?

Is anyone there?

Uncle!

Grandpa?

Uncle!

Nothing is going to happen to you.

Uncle!

Nothing is going to happen to you. What happened to you?

Uncle! -Grandpa?

Uncle!

Uncle! -My god.

What happened?

What's wrong?

Let's take him to hospital.

Call for an auto.

Lift him.

Nothing will happen to you.

What's wrong? -Get him out.

Call for an auto.

Auto?

Auto?

Slow down.

Come..

Nothing will happen to you.

Nothing will.

Slowly.

I will come with you.

Hold onto me.

Keep going. Keep going.

The doctors are checking him.

How are you related to the patient?

He is my uncle.

What happened, doctor?

His condition is quite critical.

All his valves are blocked.

It's a major heart attack.

It's difficult to keep him alive.

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Tell me, brother.

Shivaji,

your father had a heart attack.

We've joined him in the hospital.

I don't understand what these doctors say.

I am scared.

Please hurry and come down.

How is he, brother?

They say it's difficult.

Please hurry and come.

Even if I want to come now, I will not be able to.

Last week, 200 people got laid off.

If I leave now, they will fire me as well.

I am brave in the knowledge that all of you are there for him.

Doesn't matter how much it costs, I'll send you the money.

Please take care of him, brother.

It's not a matter of money.

I would even sell my farm to pay for his medical expenses.

But if you are beside him, it will give him plenty of courage.

Please come, brother.

Don't you think I want to be by my father's side?

I am not in a position to come there.

Why would you say that?

How can I tell you...

Well, I'll try to get there.

He is your father.

How can you not be beside him?

Okay, I'll get back to you.

Uncle!

[Wailing]

[Drums beating]

[Sobs]

Please get up once, uncle.

Manasa will get married soon.

Didn't you ask me to come and stay with you after she leaves?

How can you leave me alone?

Uncle.

He is not waking up, sister.

Why don't you call Shivaji once?

He might come.

Let him look at his father one last time.

[Cellphone rings] - Our target date will be...

Sorry, guys.

[Cellphone rings]

He greets everyone in the village.

He's visited every house.

He used to go out and mingle with everyone in the village.

And now he is gone.

In the end, he called everyone home.

See.

So, by December we have to... - [Cellphone rings]

Sorry guys, I have to take this call.

I've called you so many times.

Why don't you pick up my call?

I was busy... tell me.

Please hurry up and come.

What happened, brother?

Your father is no more.

Please hurry up and come.

No, brother.

There's recession in the software industry.

In this situation, if I ask for leave, I might be fired.

If I lose my job, I will not be able to pay off my loans and EMIs.

Why would you think about salary at a time like this?

No matter how much I love my father,

I am not in a situation where I can come.

Please take care of it.

Sada, what happened?

Did you call Shivaji?

Did he start?

Is he coming?

I will light the funeral pyre for my uncle.

Why would you do that when he has a son?

Even if I was not born to him,

he raised me like his own son.

When it was my daughter's wedding, he gave me ten lakhs.

He listened to me when I was down and shared in my happiness.

That is why...

I will light the funeral pyre for my uncle.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello, Renuka.

What happened? Why didn't you come to the hospital?

I wasn't able to come today.

I have a cold and I feel feverish.

Really?

Take some rest.

Ok.

Here, I got you some hot tea.

If you have some of this medication, your head ache will reduce.

Hang on.

I should only get to know that you are sick only

when you discuss it with someone over the phone.

Why couldn't you tell me?

Have some tea.

Don't worry, dear.

I will get you a groom that you like and I will get you married.

Your life will be according to your wishes.

My darling.

We will do everything just as you want.

I thought doing all this will make me your mother.

A pity I ended up just as your aunt.

Aunt?

[Crying]

What happened?

Darling?

What happened, dear?

Why are you crying?

What happened?

Manasa?

No, dear. Don't cry.

Don't.

Don't cry.

You are my mother reincarnate.

My brother and I love my mother a lot.

That is why we named you after her.

If my mother cries, we will end up crying too

Don't cry, dear.

Aunt, if you don't want me to cry, I will ask you something.

Will you give it to me?

I will.

Order me.

Will you give me anything that I ask for?

Just tell me.

Don't cry and tell me, child.

I will give you whatever you want. I swear on it.

Give me your son and get me married to him.

You want to get married to him?

Oh god!

What more do I want?

What more do I want than this, my child?

Let's do as you say.

Some people are silent because they've left,

while others speak loudly with their hearts, always present.

Did Shivaji start?

He didn't come here to pay his final respects.

No, dear.

Shivaji said he couldn't make it and cut the call.

What kind of a son doesn't come to light the funeral pyre for his father?

Disgusting!

What a pitiable life!

[Crying]

Could you guys just stop talking?

Won't you let that old man stay in peace even after his death?

When he was alive, he was sad that he was away from his son.

Now, after his death, you heap insults on his son and make his spirit sad.

How is Shivaji wrong?

Is it wrong to go abroad for work and

is it so wrong that he cannot come here due to his work?

The fault is entirely ours.

We sent them abroad and make sure that it's difficult for them to come back here.

What do you say, uncle?

You wanted the kind of respect the grandpa Ramaiah commanded

and even went to great lengths to secure

a match that is against your children's wishes.

Aren't you dreaming of a software engineer?

Is there no profession other than a software engineer in this world?

Aren't people who work other jobs humans?

You only see the pay they earn but never pay attention

to the million problems that lie behind that paycheck

You don't know the cost of wishing for such things.

That is a competitive world.

Only we know how it actually is.

We constantly torture ourselves with trying to balance work and family.

I thought of getting married to Manasa and going abroad.

If I did that, Manasa and I would have been in the same situation as Shivaji uncle.

My father or my uncle would have been in the same situation as Grandpa Ramaiah.

In Grandpa's final moments, you would insult Shivaji uncle

for a few days and forget about it.

But Shivaji uncle will face this regret and pain of not

being at his father's side for the rest of his life.

Brother?

What happened?

Please forgive me, brother?

What happened?

Tell me.

Tell me what happened?

I didn't want my daughter living a hard life

by working the fields and tending to animals.

That is why I decided to get her married to a software engineer.

As soon as I found out that Chaitanya lost his job,

I wanted to stop this wedding at any cost.

Brother,

you only liked Chaitanya because he had a software job?

Uncle, if you really wanted a software engineer as a groom,

this is my offer letter.

Even though I didn't know about this until now,

I figured that you shouldn't pick a person based on what they do.

You should pick them according to the love he has.

If she is beside someone who loves her,

my daughter will be happy.

Not just my daughter, any girl child would.

Manasa, do you want to get married to your cousin?

Yes, father.

My cousin didn't quit his job because

he didn't want to or because he was incompetent.

It's so that he can be close to his parents.

Wedding is not about the meeting of two families.

It's about two hearts becoming one.

[Chanting]

Hi, Chaitanya.

Sir!

Congratulations on your wedding. -Thank you.

Sir?

Are you here?

"The silvery moon light that you showed me in our court yard."

"As the one who partook my food and most of my life"

"You will stay remembered for the rest of my life."

"Perhaps, it's only until now."

"Only until this moment. My role in this house ends here."

"Your role in this house."

"The tree with the leaves that stain your palms danced happily all these days."
