01:12.688 --> 01:15.813
Every human in this world
has their own problems.
01:16.230 --> 01:17.271
I'm no different.
01:17.646 --> 01:19.563
But the most important problem
I have is…
01:20.271 --> 01:23.146
an identity crisis.
01:23.813 --> 01:24.688
Who am I?
01:25.021 --> 01:26.063
What is my identity?
01:26.646 --> 01:29.230
You belong to our caste.
That's your identity!
01:29.313 --> 01:31.730
I heard men from other castes
are going after our women.
01:31.813 --> 01:32.688
Let's go burn their house down.
01:32.771 --> 01:35.146
Even I check out women
from other castes.
01:35.938 --> 01:38.313
We're Indians, dude.
That's our identity.
01:38.396 --> 01:40.771
The neighborhood guys are doing a
snake dance to celebrate Bangladesh's win.
01:40.855 --> 01:41.813
Let's go ask them.
01:41.896 --> 01:43.855
Even I celebrate my sixes
with a snake dance!
01:44.980 --> 01:46.771
Our religion is our identity, son!
01:46.855 --> 01:50.021
I heard a group near the hillside
is converting people to another religion.
01:50.230 --> 01:52.146
Come on, we'll give them hell.
01:52.230 --> 01:54.021
If my slippers go missing again,
01:54.146 --> 01:56.355
- I'm quitting temple visits altogether.
- Oh, God!
01:56.646 --> 01:58.230
We're all brave men, son.
01:58.313 --> 01:59.521
And that's our identity.
01:59.605 --> 02:03.021
Our college-going girls
aren't wearing dupattas.
02:03.146 --> 02:04.188
Come, we'll warn them.
02:04.313 --> 02:06.605
I wear low-rise pants,
so my underwear shows.
02:08.313 --> 02:11.480
In my hometown, people tried to
impose their own identity on me.
02:11.646 --> 02:13.355
So I moved to Chennai from Salem.
02:18.730 --> 02:20.271
- Good morning, man!
- Morning.
02:22.230 --> 02:24.771
After high school,
I wanted to study engineering.
02:30.521 --> 02:33.146
But my mom made me study agriculture
so I'd stay in farming.
02:35.021 --> 02:37.396
By the time I graduated,
02:37.605 --> 02:39.813
farming was no longer possible
because of the drought.
02:40.396 --> 02:42.105
So, Dad became a wall painter,
02:42.563 --> 02:44.313
and Mom worked under
the 100-day employment scheme.
02:45.355 --> 02:47.855
- Don't cut down trees!
- Move, please.
02:47.938 --> 02:51.355
With the help of people from our town,
she planted 2,000 saplings.
02:51.521 --> 02:53.480
Now imagine telling her
to cut those trees down
02:53.563 --> 02:56.230
to build a road into town.
Do you think she'll stay quiet?
02:56.313 --> 02:59.146
If you keep protesting,
your town's never getting a road.
02:59.396 --> 03:00.896
He's got a point, too.
03:00.980 --> 03:03.313
Either build the road without cutting
down the trees, or get out of here!
03:03.605 --> 03:05.813
People shouldn't try to fix things
without knowing the town's issues.
03:05.896 --> 03:07.188
- Out of my way!
- Sir, it's fine.
03:07.813 --> 03:08.813
Don't build the road.
03:09.146 --> 03:10.855
That's how educated people
end up leaving this town
03:11.063 --> 03:12.438
just to make a living somewhere else.
03:13.563 --> 03:15.688
That temper proves
he's from our caste.
03:18.896 --> 03:21.771
Even when she was sick, Mom worked
in the fields and fainted often.
03:22.230 --> 03:24.980
Even as things got harder,
she was stubborn about farming.
03:25.188 --> 03:26.646
She forced me down her path,
03:27.146 --> 03:29.355
so I gave up farming
and came here for work.
03:30.271 --> 03:31.980
Despite having
a degree in agriculture,
03:32.063 --> 03:34.063
it's the course I signed up for
during an Aadi offer
03:34.188 --> 03:35.605
that's helping me
make a living in Chennai.
03:35.980 --> 03:38.438
For the past four years, it's been
the same company, the same desk,
03:38.855 --> 03:39.813
the same job…
03:42.146 --> 03:44.230
and I'm still searching for my identity.
03:45.396 --> 03:46.480
My name is Sathya.
03:47.688 --> 03:48.605
And my age is…
04:05.563 --> 04:06.438
Bro, get out!
04:06.521 --> 04:07.730
How long are you gonna be in there?
04:12.230 --> 04:13.438
- Why do you keep knocking?!
- Can't you hurry up?
04:13.521 --> 04:14.563
- He does that all the time.
- What is it?
04:14.646 --> 04:15.646
- I'll finish you!
- Go!
04:15.730 --> 04:17.813
I've stayed in the same mansion
since I came to Chennai.
04:18.438 --> 04:20.980
There's hardly any difference between
Chennai and this mansion.
04:21.230 --> 04:23.980
It's always crowded,
long queues, water scarcity,
04:24.063 --> 04:27.480
- fans fighting over Thala and Thalapathy!
- Hey! I'm a fan of Prashanth!
04:27.896 --> 04:29.938
My actors, Bobby, Vijay,
04:30.021 --> 04:31.271
and my music director…
04:31.688 --> 04:33.605
Meet Mani from Madurai.
04:33.771 --> 04:36.480
He spent ten years chasing
his dream of becoming a director,
04:36.563 --> 04:37.438
only to crash and burn in love.
04:37.521 --> 04:39.021
I have a story called
It's All Because of Her.
04:39.105 --> 04:39.980
Want to hear it?
04:40.313 --> 04:41.188
Go on.
04:41.646 --> 04:42.521
It opens with…
04:42.730 --> 04:43.605
It opens with…
04:44.021 --> 04:44.896
It opens with…
04:47.230 --> 04:49.271
This is Vasanth from Tirunelveli.
04:49.480 --> 04:52.355
He can even sell junk to earn money.
04:52.938 --> 04:54.021
Idiyappam!
04:54.188 --> 04:55.063
Thanks, son.
04:55.146 --> 04:58.438
Since Mani had no income and
wanted to make it big in cinema,
04:58.521 --> 05:00.563
the girl he loved broke up with him.
05:00.688 --> 05:02.355
My girl's a religious one, buddy.
05:02.813 --> 05:04.271
You can always find her
in temples.
05:04.563 --> 05:06.271
- But we're different, you know?
- Yeah.
05:06.355 --> 05:07.230
We're Periyarists.
05:08.230 --> 05:11.521
Cut to scene. We're in front
of her mother confessing our love.
05:11.896 --> 05:14.480
Her mother looks me
up and down.
05:15.980 --> 05:18.271
The camera slowly zooms in on her…
05:18.730 --> 05:21.563
And then she says,
"We don't eat garlic, son."
05:22.688 --> 05:24.355
That was it. I was done!
05:24.730 --> 05:26.230
What do garlic and love
have to do with each other?
05:26.313 --> 05:27.271
Don't you get it, idiot?
05:27.563 --> 05:30.396
If they don't eat garlic,
they won't eat onions either.
05:30.563 --> 05:32.021
So I said, "Get lost, onions!"
and walked away!
05:32.271 --> 05:33.855
Every night,
over a free drink,
05:33.938 --> 05:36.438
he keeps retelling his failed love story,
irritating everyone.
05:36.896 --> 05:37.855
This is a kind of love.
05:38.105 --> 05:40.688
Baby, you said you've got
a surprise for me?
05:40.980 --> 05:41.855
What is it?
05:44.355 --> 05:46.480
What's this?
You've got an amazing tattoo.
05:46.563 --> 05:48.105
Remember, Naveen?
05:48.355 --> 05:50.230
He just finished
his tattoo course.
05:50.313 --> 05:51.938
Vasanth's been talking
to a girl from Bangalore
05:52.021 --> 05:53.938
whom he met through a wrong number.
05:54.188 --> 05:55.480
Now he's forgotten his Tirunelveli Tamil
05:55.563 --> 05:57.355
- and speaks fluent Bangalore Tamil.
- Yes!
05:57.480 --> 05:58.646
- Exactly.
- His only goal is to
05:58.730 --> 06:00.313
find a job in Bangalore.
06:00.480 --> 06:02.563
But he made sure
I was poked right!
06:03.146 --> 06:04.896
Didn't the poking hurt, baby?
06:05.021 --> 06:05.896
This is another kind of love.
06:05.980 --> 06:10.396
I will gut your heart out
like a goat!
06:10.771 --> 06:14.646
Even if you slit me
and throw my heart away,
06:15.313 --> 06:18.063
it'll still say, "I love Chimbu!"
06:18.605 --> 06:19.938
"I love Chimbu!"
06:20.313 --> 06:21.771
"I love Chimbu!"
06:22.605 --> 06:23.730
This too is love!
06:23.855 --> 06:26.438
Everyone has their own love story.
06:26.688 --> 06:27.605
But me?
06:27.896 --> 06:30.771
No girl's ever stopped me for a ride
06:31.105 --> 06:32.355
or to ask for directions.
06:33.105 --> 06:35.146
The only thing I've heard them
tell me is…
06:35.230 --> 06:36.105
Excuse me?
06:37.146 --> 06:38.188
"Excuse me."
06:41.771 --> 06:44.271
I lived a life I hated and despised.
06:45.021 --> 06:46.396
Then one day,
06:46.855 --> 06:48.771
a girl walked in and made it
worth loving and cherishing.
07:00.396 --> 07:03.271
#01 YOU, ME,
THE RAIN, AND AN UMBRELLA.
07:38.855 --> 07:41.688
I still remember when
I first met Viji.
07:42.563 --> 07:44.188
You didn't come in yesterday?
07:44.271 --> 07:45.688
Yeah, I went to my friend's wedding.
07:46.105 --> 07:47.313
The older we get,
07:47.646 --> 07:50.355
the more wedding invites we get,
and it's frustrating.
07:52.771 --> 07:53.646
Excuse me.
08:14.188 --> 08:16.521
She was writing down the name
08:16.813 --> 08:17.896
I would whisper until my last breath.
08:23.605 --> 08:25.021
- You first.
- No, it's alright.
08:25.271 --> 08:26.771
- It's fine.
- I insist.
08:42.980 --> 08:44.438
She mistook me.
08:45.146 --> 08:46.730
She took me the wrong way.
08:47.646 --> 08:49.480
She took me the wrong way!
08:50.646 --> 08:51.563
Did she?
08:52.021 --> 08:54.105
She read it all wrong.
Dang it!
08:56.521 --> 08:57.438
What's wrong?
08:59.521 --> 09:00.396
Anyway…
09:00.480 --> 09:02.313
You didn't turn up yesterday, right?
09:02.646 --> 09:04.313
We got a new trainee.
09:04.480 --> 09:05.771
She was gorgeous!
09:07.646 --> 09:09.313
Her name's Viji!
09:09.521 --> 09:10.688
She must be around…
09:11.188 --> 09:12.480
twenty-something…
09:15.605 --> 09:16.480
Sorry.
09:16.813 --> 09:18.355
I didn't mean to do it.
09:19.230 --> 09:20.355
It was just an instinct.
09:21.021 --> 09:22.021
What do you mean?
09:22.688 --> 09:23.771
I don't understand.
09:26.605 --> 09:27.480
It's okay.
09:27.813 --> 09:28.855
I misunderstood you.
09:30.605 --> 09:32.063
I'm Vijayalakshmi.
You can call me Viji.
09:32.146 --> 09:33.605
I'm Sathya.
You can call me--
09:33.688 --> 09:34.563
Call him bro, then.
09:40.021 --> 09:41.480
You can call me
whatever you like.
09:45.271 --> 09:48.313
We've become so close that
she calls me "da."
09:55.730 --> 09:57.396
Despite being close,
09:57.896 --> 09:59.521
some bonds just don't turn into love.
10:00.438 --> 10:02.355
I didn't want ours
to suffer the same fate,
10:02.605 --> 10:04.313
so I'm pulling every trick I've got.
10:10.688 --> 10:12.688
Like snow that fell on spider webs,
10:13.105 --> 10:15.230
her face was filled with
tiny raindrops.
10:15.646 --> 10:17.730
Her lips are like
an inverted Thirukkural.
10:18.605 --> 10:21.646
The lower line is slightly bigger
than the upper one.
10:48.688 --> 10:50.771
For guys like me,
getting down on one knee
10:50.855 --> 10:52.730
and proposing won't do the trick.
10:52.896 --> 10:55.021
But on a softly scented night,
10:55.105 --> 10:59.188
with a chill in the air,
maybe we'd get a yes.
11:00.105 --> 11:00.980
Viji?
11:02.980 --> 11:05.271
I've been meaning
to tell you something…
11:06.188 --> 11:07.105
What is it?
11:07.688 --> 11:10.063
Just as I was about to
express my love,
11:10.313 --> 11:12.438
the open sewer
turned my night sour!
11:32.021 --> 11:33.896
- I'll get going. Tanu's here.
- Okay.
11:33.980 --> 11:35.563
I'll be back on Sunday. Okay?
11:35.896 --> 11:37.396
- Get home safe.
- Alright.
11:38.980 --> 11:39.896
Bye!
11:48.688 --> 11:50.396
Did she just text you a "K"?
11:50.896 --> 11:51.771
Yep.
11:51.855 --> 11:53.646
She could send you 100 free messages.
11:53.855 --> 11:55.771
But still, she replied
with a single letter.
11:56.188 --> 11:57.605
She's definitely in love with you, man.
11:57.688 --> 11:59.271
No one asked for your advice.
11:59.771 --> 12:01.688
Flirt with your girl instead.
12:02.105 --> 12:03.063
I can't.
12:03.396 --> 12:04.271
Why not?
12:04.355 --> 12:05.355
She'll get caught if I call her.
12:05.605 --> 12:07.480
Her cousin's in town, it seems.
12:07.771 --> 12:09.605
So she's showing him around Bangalore.
12:10.771 --> 12:12.396
She posted about it on Orkut, too.
12:12.688 --> 12:13.563
Look!
12:15.146 --> 12:16.271
Isn't she scrumptious?
12:16.896 --> 12:19.646
Look how she's showing him… the city!
12:20.146 --> 12:21.105
That's her cousin?
12:21.438 --> 12:22.313
Yeah!
12:22.396 --> 12:23.521
He's from Delhi, apparently.
12:36.355 --> 12:38.230
Hey, Cutout!
12:38.980 --> 12:39.855
Santhosh?!
12:40.605 --> 12:41.480
Is that you?
12:41.896 --> 12:42.855
Not bad.
12:43.355 --> 12:44.521
Talking without the "da" now?
12:45.146 --> 12:46.646
You still haven't
forgotten the past, have you?
12:50.438 --> 12:51.396
Alright, serve me.
12:52.480 --> 12:54.271
- Congratulations!
- Okay, okay.
13:00.813 --> 13:02.521
Bring me some water, Sathya!
13:07.188 --> 13:08.146
So…
13:08.521 --> 13:10.771
you fell at my feet
in front of your parents that day
13:10.855 --> 13:11.771
to pick up leftover leaf plates?
13:13.438 --> 13:16.313
I work in the accounts department
in a company called Step Up.
13:17.063 --> 13:18.313
This is just a part-time job.
13:19.480 --> 13:20.396
Are you married?
13:20.813 --> 13:21.813
I don't have plans for it now.
13:22.521 --> 13:23.980
But I'm an eligible bachelor.
13:24.105 --> 13:25.021
A bachelor?
13:25.396 --> 13:26.646
So you're unmarried.
13:27.855 --> 13:29.355
You were the oldest in our class, right?
13:29.605 --> 13:31.688
You must be… 30-something, right?
13:32.063 --> 13:32.938
I'm 29.
13:33.563 --> 13:34.855
One year doesn't make
much of a difference.
13:36.188 --> 13:38.813
There's only a one-year difference
between 28 and 29.
13:39.396 --> 13:41.396
But between 29 and 30?
13:42.521 --> 13:43.813
There's a huge difference, dude.
13:45.730 --> 13:46.605
Okay, whatever.
13:55.730 --> 13:57.521
He was my classmate in college.
13:58.021 --> 14:00.021
Just because his father is a politician
14:00.313 --> 14:02.646
who owns mills, schools, and colleges,
14:03.021 --> 14:04.855
he's an arrogant brat
who doesn't respect people.
14:05.438 --> 14:07.813
One day, when he talked big,
I thrashed him.
14:08.480 --> 14:10.355
The next day, he ran to his father
and demanded
14:10.438 --> 14:11.896
- a public apology from me.
- Sathya,
14:11.980 --> 14:13.271
why are you scared of him?
14:13.688 --> 14:15.188
The entire village is here.
14:15.563 --> 14:17.938
You'll be humiliated
if you fall at his feet, son.
14:18.730 --> 14:19.646
You…
14:20.105 --> 14:20.980
what are you thinking?
14:24.313 --> 14:25.230
Sathya!
14:25.563 --> 14:27.563
If you fall at his feet now,
14:27.980 --> 14:29.896
I swear I'll never speak to you again!
14:31.146 --> 14:33.771
Even though Mom told me never to apologize
when I've done nothing wrong,
14:34.146 --> 14:36.730
- I fell at his feet to settle the problem.
- Let go of me.
14:36.813 --> 14:39.396
Humiliated by that,
my mom stopped talking to me.
14:40.313 --> 14:43.730
I thought I would never see him
again in my life.
14:44.980 --> 14:45.938
But…
14:46.188 --> 14:47.105
Sathya, my boy!
14:48.605 --> 14:49.480
Come here.
14:50.730 --> 14:51.771
What can I get for you?
14:52.021 --> 14:53.855
- I'd like some rasam, please.
- Hey.
14:54.063 --> 14:55.646
Bring some rasam here.
14:57.438 --> 14:59.230
Wait. I'll take it.
14:59.605 --> 15:00.605
I said I'll handle it.
15:04.105 --> 15:05.605
- What's this?
- Rasam.
15:06.313 --> 15:07.938
- I asked for buttermilk.
- You moron.
15:08.313 --> 15:10.188
He asked for buttermilk,
and you brought rasam?
15:10.271 --> 15:11.146
- Take it away.
- Okay.
15:11.230 --> 15:12.271
Hey, where's the
buttermilk bucket?
15:12.355 --> 15:13.938
Are you bringing it here,
or should I come there?
15:14.438 --> 15:16.480
Hey! Won't "Sir" serve me?
15:16.563 --> 15:17.605
- Does it really matter?
- Hold on.
15:17.688 --> 15:19.605
- Bro, I'll do it.
- Zip it, will you?
15:19.688 --> 15:20.605
- Okay, right!
- I'll go.
15:29.438 --> 15:31.730
Who piled so much food
onto the kid's plate?
15:31.813 --> 15:32.688
That's enough.
15:35.021 --> 15:35.896
Enough, man.
15:38.438 --> 15:39.355
That's enough.
15:42.521 --> 15:43.396
Hey!
15:46.271 --> 15:47.605
Didn't I tell you that's enough?
15:49.605 --> 15:50.938
I'm telling you the same.
15:51.605 --> 15:52.521
That's enough.
15:54.438 --> 15:55.355
What happened, dude?
15:55.438 --> 15:56.688
Why are you getting angry?
15:56.896 --> 15:57.896
They'll talk this out.
15:58.188 --> 15:59.896
Any problem, Santhosh?
16:03.521 --> 16:04.396
Go on, eat.
16:08.730 --> 16:11.480
What have you even achieved
to act this arrogantly?
16:12.855 --> 16:14.146
Was this a love marriage?
16:14.896 --> 16:16.896
- Nope.
- I knew it.
16:17.896 --> 16:19.355
You've got no identity of your own.
16:19.980 --> 16:23.355
Your dad set you up with
a comfortable seat beside him
16:23.563 --> 16:25.563
and even picked a bride for you.
16:26.105 --> 16:28.730
You'll always be
daddy's little boy, won't you?
16:30.688 --> 16:33.730
What's so hilarious about
being a bachelor?
16:34.188 --> 16:36.563
Feeling proud about getting laid
ahead of us?
16:40.396 --> 16:42.438
The minute we turn 30,
16:42.938 --> 16:44.771
girls' families reject our horoscopes.
16:45.105 --> 16:47.230
Companies reject our job applications.
16:47.605 --> 16:51.980
And on top of that,
boomers like him chew our ears off
16:52.188 --> 16:55.688
asking, "Why aren't you married yet?"
16:56.021 --> 17:00.230
We have to deal with all that,
put our own lives on hold,
17:00.688 --> 17:02.855
and work for our families
instead of starting one of our own.
17:03.105 --> 17:04.438
Now that's a bachelor!
17:05.521 --> 17:08.938
The pain of still being single at 29…
17:09.605 --> 17:12.855
Guys like you, living off daddy's money,
wouldn't get it, dude.
17:20.730 --> 17:21.646
Long live you two!
17:22.230 --> 17:23.188
Come on, guys.
17:23.521 --> 17:26.688
TRIPLICANE'S MANORAMA MANSION
TO BE DEMOLISHED
17:26.855 --> 17:29.063
Baby, please? Come online, please!
17:29.146 --> 17:31.396
I'm begging you. Please? For my sake.
17:32.063 --> 17:34.605
Every apartment has
that one little room on the terrace
17:34.688 --> 17:37.271
rented out for bachelors like us.
17:37.688 --> 17:40.980
The three of us moved into one such room
after the mansion was demolished.
17:41.771 --> 17:42.646
Baby!
17:44.146 --> 17:47.396
Is this why you were shy…
because you're half-dressed?
17:47.688 --> 17:49.355
It's okay, baby.
There's nothing to hide between us.
17:49.605 --> 17:51.313
Even in this, you look beautiful.
17:53.730 --> 17:55.855
Baby, there's someone behind you.
17:57.855 --> 17:59.021
No one's here, darling.
17:59.271 --> 18:01.355
There…
Behind your cupboard…
18:01.855 --> 18:03.813
That white shorts guy…
Now he ran in!
18:03.896 --> 18:06.105
- Shucks!
- Sathya, come here quickly!
18:06.813 --> 18:08.188
Hey, what is it?!
18:08.771 --> 18:10.188
A thief broke into her room!
18:10.396 --> 18:13.021
Bro, she's not fully covered,
but she's covered. Help her, man!
18:13.646 --> 18:16.105
Can't you see him?
He's right behind you, baby.
18:16.355 --> 18:18.230
This is why I told you to eat carrots.
18:18.563 --> 18:21.271
Dude, someone's there
inside her cupboard, right?
18:22.980 --> 18:24.688
What if it's a ghost?
18:24.855 --> 18:26.563
Vasanth, I'm freaking out!
18:28.730 --> 18:29.855
Hey! Hey!
18:31.438 --> 18:32.355
Baby?
18:33.313 --> 18:34.188
Baby!
18:34.355 --> 18:35.230
Baby!
18:35.730 --> 18:36.646
Baby!
18:36.855 --> 18:39.230
You saw that thief, right?
18:39.980 --> 18:40.855
Baby…
18:42.188 --> 18:43.105
Dude,
18:43.646 --> 18:44.646
do you really think
he's a thief?
18:44.980 --> 18:46.688
Of course!
Can't you tell?
18:47.355 --> 18:48.646
Don't you dare suspect my girl.
18:55.896 --> 18:56.771
God…
18:59.813 --> 19:02.355
I got a text from her saying
she was feeling low
19:02.563 --> 19:03.938
and didn't want to stay home.
19:04.230 --> 19:05.855
She asked if we could meet.
19:07.105 --> 19:11.021
#02 THE SEA, THIS DAMNED LOVE,
AN EXCLAMATION MARK!
19:15.855 --> 19:17.105
It was fun, right?
19:17.438 --> 19:18.313
One second.
19:21.771 --> 19:22.896
What is he doing?
19:25.980 --> 19:27.688
- Okay, thank you!
- Complete nut case.
19:39.146 --> 19:40.063
Hi!
19:46.938 --> 19:48.271
Settled into the new house?
19:49.730 --> 19:50.646
We will, eventually.
19:52.396 --> 19:53.271
Hey,
19:53.688 --> 19:55.146
you said you were feeling low.
19:55.813 --> 19:56.730
Is everything okay?
19:58.480 --> 20:00.730
I told my mother
I was feeling feverish.
20:01.146 --> 20:03.146
She shouted at me,
saying I was lying
20:03.480 --> 20:04.938
just to escape doing the laundry.
20:05.688 --> 20:07.438
She thinks of me as a burden.
20:08.396 --> 20:09.771
She doesn't love me anymore.
20:13.480 --> 20:15.271
Why don't you check
if I'm running a fever?
20:16.771 --> 20:17.813
What are you looking at?
20:18.896 --> 20:20.271
Give me your hand.
See?
20:21.646 --> 20:22.521
I have it, right?
20:24.230 --> 20:25.105
Oh, my!
20:25.688 --> 20:26.646
You're burning up!
20:38.355 --> 20:40.938
You've got a nice new fragrance on you.
20:41.605 --> 20:42.646
What perfume did you use?
20:43.896 --> 20:44.813
Rotomac.
20:51.396 --> 20:53.146
I finally feel at peace.
20:55.146 --> 20:56.063
Can we get in the water?
21:05.480 --> 21:06.396
What's wrong?
21:11.396 --> 21:14.396
The sea always reminds me
of the movie Titanic.
21:14.813 --> 21:16.646
I've seen it 20 times, maybe.
21:16.896 --> 21:17.771
Oh, yeah?
21:18.021 --> 21:20.688
Alright, tell me
your favorite scene from it.
21:25.646 --> 21:27.563
The one where the hero
21:27.646 --> 21:29.480
wins tickets in a rummy game
21:29.938 --> 21:31.521
and runs to board the ship?
21:32.105 --> 21:33.271
That's my favorite!
21:38.771 --> 21:41.480
I've seen girls who
casually touch while talking.
21:42.146 --> 21:43.271
But Viji is not like that.
21:43.980 --> 21:47.021
Her standing in the sea,
holding a guy's hand…
21:47.438 --> 21:48.855
that's not a small thing.
21:49.230 --> 21:50.146
But…
21:50.521 --> 21:52.938
I didn't want to live
with the uncertainty
21:53.480 --> 21:54.563
of where I stood in her life.
21:55.480 --> 21:56.355
I'm going to the shore.
21:56.438 --> 21:59.271
I felt like I was
confusing friendship with love.
22:03.396 --> 22:05.938
I could've made girls look at me
22:06.021 --> 22:07.480
if I had some talent like Titanic's Jack.
22:08.771 --> 22:13.021
But I can neither draw nor write poetry.
I can't even play a guitar.
22:13.563 --> 22:14.730
You know,
22:15.230 --> 22:17.980
the voice inside my head is much
more interesting than what I speak.
22:18.188 --> 22:19.813
But she can't hear it, right?
22:20.396 --> 22:21.855
Or can she?
Let me try.
22:25.980 --> 22:26.938
Viji…
22:48.271 --> 22:49.188
Hi, dear.
22:50.605 --> 22:51.646
Would you like to buy
some flowers?
22:51.980 --> 22:54.646
Look at her hair.
It looks empty without flowers.
22:54.730 --> 22:56.896
Who even has
such lengthy hair these days?
22:57.021 --> 22:59.313
Buy her some, will you?
23:00.063 --> 23:01.646
Is it a law for lengthy hair
to have flowers on it?
23:02.605 --> 23:04.521
Ask her yourself
if she wants flowers.
23:06.480 --> 23:07.355
Over here, ma'am.
23:08.980 --> 23:11.188
Poor girl's going to suffer with him.
23:14.688 --> 23:15.563
Come, let's go.
23:22.938 --> 23:23.813
Sathya?
23:24.771 --> 23:25.646
Sathya!
23:26.646 --> 23:27.896
Wait, Sathya.
23:33.188 --> 23:34.105
What is it?
23:39.063 --> 23:40.021
What do you think of yourself?
23:41.271 --> 23:43.855
I'm a girl and dropping you so many hints.
Don't you get it?
23:44.688 --> 23:46.521
I waited six months
thinking you'd propose,
23:46.605 --> 23:48.063
but you kept putting it off
for some reason!
23:49.855 --> 23:51.688
When she wanted you
to buy me some flowers,
23:51.771 --> 23:52.771
why did you get irritated?
23:55.521 --> 23:57.105
I thought you'd never touch me…
23:58.688 --> 23:59.896
and even lied about having a fever.
24:00.188 --> 24:01.105
And you're still acting dumb?!
24:03.438 --> 24:05.438
When I asked about
your favorite scene in Titanic,
24:05.521 --> 24:06.605
you said you liked that rummy scene!
24:06.896 --> 24:07.771
I'll kill you.
24:08.438 --> 24:09.396
What's taking you so long?
24:12.146 --> 24:13.021
Tell me!
24:13.938 --> 24:14.813
I…
24:15.146 --> 24:19.188
I was looking for a special place
to propose.
24:19.688 --> 24:20.563
Yeah, right.
24:20.813 --> 24:21.855
Don't make me cuss.
24:22.313 --> 24:25.480
In buses, temples, and even in
public toilets, people etch their names…
24:25.813 --> 24:27.563
expressing their love.
24:27.980 --> 24:30.480
You could've written our names
in the sand,
24:30.605 --> 24:31.980
drawn a heart, and proposed!
24:33.646 --> 24:35.855
Instead, he was bothered
24:36.396 --> 24:37.313
about the pit we were digging.
24:37.771 --> 24:38.771
You are so dumb!
24:41.563 --> 24:44.771
I've been trying to stay calm
and be a good girl.
24:45.271 --> 24:46.771
But you're testing my patience.
24:53.063 --> 24:55.396
So, will you finally say you love me,
or should I walk away?
24:59.105 --> 24:59.980
What?
25:01.021 --> 25:02.730
Wait here, okay?
25:03.188 --> 25:04.438
- Where are you going?
- Just stay there.
25:04.521 --> 25:05.396
Sathya?
25:20.355 --> 25:21.355
Stay right here.
25:34.271 --> 25:35.230
Come with me.
25:35.896 --> 25:37.063
- What happened?
- Come here.
25:37.146 --> 25:38.730
- Where?
- Come.
25:40.605 --> 25:41.521
What is it?
25:43.771 --> 25:45.021
This is that special place.
25:48.146 --> 25:49.438
What's so special about this place?
25:49.938 --> 25:51.105
We're still on the shore.
25:53.313 --> 25:55.938
If you walk away from this spot,
25:56.313 --> 25:57.938
you'll hear the traffic blaring.
25:58.938 --> 26:01.146
Walk toward the sea,
26:01.730 --> 26:03.021
and you'll hear the waves crashing.
26:04.355 --> 26:06.105
Okay, and?
26:07.938 --> 26:09.105
But at this spot,
26:09.855 --> 26:11.730
you can neither hear the traffic
26:12.355 --> 26:13.730
nor the waves crashing.
26:14.521 --> 26:17.313
Just the deafening sea breeze.
26:22.313 --> 26:23.188
Don't believe me?
26:23.521 --> 26:25.355
Go check for yourself.
26:29.396 --> 26:30.271
Alright.
27:16.480 --> 27:17.355
Hey…
27:18.021 --> 27:18.938
You're right.
27:19.605 --> 27:20.688
As you said,
27:21.355 --> 27:23.646
I can only hear the breeze.
27:25.730 --> 27:27.271
The one that you hear from a conch?
27:28.146 --> 27:29.105
That's what I hear.
27:39.605 --> 27:41.896
Are you ready to look me in the eye
like this for the rest of your life?
27:54.230 --> 27:55.230
Gosh, you're so romantic!
27:57.355 --> 27:59.396
I don't know how
or what you're going to do.
27:59.771 --> 28:02.230
You're buying me flowers
from that lady before we leave.
28:02.730 --> 28:03.938
Okay? Come.
28:05.021 --> 28:08.021
Can't walk around with these heels.
28:08.771 --> 28:09.646
It hurts.
28:09.813 --> 28:10.688
Here, hold these.
28:13.855 --> 28:15.230
It's getting late. Come on.
28:17.688 --> 28:18.563
Come!
28:19.355 --> 28:20.313
Come fast.
28:28.896 --> 28:29.896
Is that your girl?
28:32.605 --> 28:33.646
Enjoy!
28:34.188 --> 28:36.105
I'm a beautiful girl's boyfriend.
28:36.188 --> 28:37.521
That's my identity now.
28:38.980 --> 28:42.563
The sky rained love
28:46.896 --> 28:50.563
The earth soaked it in
28:54.938 --> 28:58.438
The sky rained love
28:58.855 --> 29:02.480
The earth soaked it in
29:02.896 --> 29:06.188
Seeds broke free to grow
29:06.605 --> 29:10.396
New plants began to show
29:10.563 --> 29:13.896
Flowers bloomed so fair
29:14.605 --> 29:18.021
They longed to rest in your hair
29:18.563 --> 29:22.896
Where you walk
The flowers turn
29:22.980 --> 29:26.313
Drawn to you in quiet grace
29:26.521 --> 29:30.813
Even thorns long in silence
29:30.896 --> 29:34.355
To be the flower
You might pick one day
29:34.480 --> 29:38.813
All flowers fade and fall away
29:38.896 --> 29:42.521
But the one you chose that day
29:42.605 --> 29:46.480
Even the one you wore and threw
29:46.563 --> 29:50.438
Still holds the scent of you
29:50.521 --> 29:53.855
Its journey ends in grace
29:54.521 --> 29:58.105
It finds its heaven there
30:42.230 --> 30:43.230
- Viji?
- Yeah?
30:43.896 --> 30:45.230
- Did you see this?
- What is it?
30:45.980 --> 30:46.896
- Here.
- What is it?
30:47.521 --> 30:48.396
Hey!
30:50.021 --> 30:51.521
You somehow bought it?
30:56.146 --> 30:57.021
Okay, hold this.
30:57.105 --> 30:58.896
I'll look at it when I'm back.
I'm running late. Okay?
30:59.896 --> 31:00.855
- Hey--
- Yes, Sathya?
31:01.188 --> 31:03.105
Are you in the office?
I'm just starting from home.
31:06.271 --> 31:10.230
#03
ANNA SALAI, BUS GRAFFITI
31:11.896 --> 31:12.813
Power cut there too?
31:13.146 --> 31:14.313
It just went off here.
31:14.980 --> 31:18.021
As soon as summer comes,
the power cuts start.
31:20.355 --> 31:22.563
Why are you still here?
Has the MD come?
31:22.688 --> 31:24.688
Looks like it's a two-hour
power cut today, sir.
31:24.938 --> 31:26.105
It'll be back by noon.
31:26.730 --> 31:28.105
- Okay, sir.
- It was a Friday.
31:28.271 --> 31:29.646
She had just washed her hair.
31:30.105 --> 31:32.146
Not the usual well-combed single braid.
31:32.480 --> 31:34.521
Just a casual knot on her damp hair.
31:35.021 --> 31:39.063
A bit of jasmine held her hair in place,
like a paperweight holds paper.
31:39.271 --> 31:41.396
She looked like
a perfectly wrapped gift.
31:42.105 --> 31:43.688
I think she went to the temple
in the morning.
31:44.271 --> 31:45.646
She smelled divine, like a temple.
31:47.438 --> 31:48.313
- Hello?
- Yes!
31:49.813 --> 31:51.688
It's hard to work without the AC.
31:51.813 --> 31:52.730
Yeah.
31:53.188 --> 31:55.105
Power won't be back for two hours.
31:55.688 --> 31:56.563
What do we do until then?
31:57.063 --> 31:59.188
Didn't we plan
to go by bus once?
31:59.521 --> 32:00.396
Yeah!
32:00.480 --> 32:01.396
Shall we take the bus today then?
32:03.521 --> 32:04.438
We're going!
32:19.105 --> 32:20.063
You're right!
32:21.271 --> 32:22.980
Going on the bus is actually fun!
32:29.355 --> 32:30.313
What, Viji?
32:30.771 --> 32:33.021
Honestly, why did you
fall in love with me?
32:33.730 --> 32:34.646
I don't know.
32:36.230 --> 32:37.396
I swear, I don't know!
32:37.896 --> 32:38.771
Why do you ask?
32:40.563 --> 32:43.688
I thought you'd say
32:44.021 --> 32:46.688
you liked my character,
that you think I'm a good person,
32:47.230 --> 32:50.146
or that I remind you of your mom.
32:50.896 --> 32:51.855
But all you did was
32:52.063 --> 32:55.105
talk about my eyes, lips, face, and hair,
32:55.188 --> 32:56.355
just my looks.
32:57.396 --> 32:58.688
It does sound nice,
32:59.688 --> 33:00.605
but…
33:03.063 --> 33:04.146
Do you really love me, Sathya?
33:09.438 --> 33:11.521
Look, love needs no reason.
33:11.938 --> 33:14.688
If it does, it isn't love.
Even Shakespeare said so.
33:15.105 --> 33:16.063
But you want a reason.
33:16.855 --> 33:17.730
Fine.
33:17.938 --> 33:18.896
Let's do it your way.
33:19.855 --> 33:21.563
Why are you in love with me?
33:22.188 --> 33:23.271
Is it my character?
33:23.563 --> 33:25.688
I don't even give money
to the homeless
33:26.188 --> 33:28.355
or help the blind cross the road.
33:28.646 --> 33:29.938
Why do you love me?
33:33.188 --> 33:35.688
Actually, I like your inner voice.
33:37.188 --> 33:38.063
You mean "Seelay"?
33:38.563 --> 33:39.521
What does that mean?
33:40.688 --> 33:42.521
I call that voice Seelay.
33:42.813 --> 33:43.688
Oh!
33:45.355 --> 33:46.688
Then it's Seelay that I like.
33:51.271 --> 33:53.188
I don't know why I like you either,
33:54.063 --> 33:55.188
but I trust you completely.
34:02.896 --> 34:06.230
I asked myself
the same question Viji asked.
34:06.355 --> 34:07.271
I had no answer.
34:07.521 --> 34:10.271
She loves my inner voice.
34:10.646 --> 34:13.605
Someday, the inner voice
that praises her beauty
34:13.730 --> 34:15.938
will admire her character
and fall for that, too.
34:16.313 --> 34:17.855
And someday,
she'll hear that too.
34:19.105 --> 34:22.980
#04 SEELAY…
34:23.355 --> 34:25.438
Hello, where are you guys?
34:26.355 --> 34:27.563
Alright, come fast. Okay.
34:28.105 --> 34:28.980
Bye.
34:30.230 --> 34:32.188
Sathya, they're almost here.
34:32.813 --> 34:34.105
They'll be here in ten minutes.
34:35.563 --> 34:36.771
Why is your button open?
34:37.771 --> 34:39.480
The only thing
I know about Viji is that
34:39.938 --> 34:41.188
she wants to become an IAS officer.
34:41.563 --> 34:43.771
But I wanted to know
about her school days,
34:43.938 --> 34:47.188
her favorite teacher,
and the subject she hates.
34:47.563 --> 34:50.480
So I thought I'd meet her friends
and get to know her better.
34:52.230 --> 34:53.146
Now it's okay.
34:54.605 --> 34:55.521
Do I look okay?
34:59.396 --> 35:00.271
Hello?
35:04.938 --> 35:05.855
Give me a minute!
35:23.021 --> 35:24.105
Hey, Mr. Sathya!
35:24.480 --> 35:26.855
Vasanth said you're out on your bike
with a girl every day.
35:27.105 --> 35:28.355
You didn't even tell me.
35:28.896 --> 35:30.396
I'm talking to you!
35:30.605 --> 35:32.313
Are you two eloping or what?
35:33.271 --> 35:34.813
Hello? Hey!
35:35.230 --> 35:36.688
Do you have a photo of her?
Show me right now!
35:38.271 --> 35:39.605
No sense of timing at all.
35:42.605 --> 35:45.063
All my thoughts kept
going back to my mother.
35:45.855 --> 35:50.688
Whenever she took up road issues
or lake issues, we'd clash.
35:51.271 --> 35:54.188
Because of that,
we haven't spoken in four years.
35:54.730 --> 35:57.605
If she dies while we're still not talking,
35:58.480 --> 36:00.355
my whole life would feel meaningless.
36:12.355 --> 36:13.688
Hosur! Hosur!
36:14.063 --> 36:15.105
Come on, hop in!
36:27.146 --> 36:29.021
Viji, is that him?
36:31.896 --> 36:32.855
Hold this.
36:35.563 --> 36:36.813
Thank God you're here!
36:37.646 --> 36:39.855
I was worried you'd taken an Omni bus.
36:41.646 --> 36:42.563
Finally, I saw you.
36:43.480 --> 36:44.396
This will do.
36:45.105 --> 36:47.480
Where's your phone?
I tried calling you.
36:48.563 --> 36:50.230
First, it kept ringing,
36:50.855 --> 36:53.188
then it switched off.
36:53.980 --> 36:57.396
When you rushed off, saying your mom
was sick and you had to leave,
36:58.313 --> 36:59.605
I got scared.
37:00.521 --> 37:02.855
I didn't know what to do.
37:03.188 --> 37:04.938
Then my friends showed up.
37:05.730 --> 37:08.230
They just asked where you were
and what happened,
37:09.105 --> 37:10.271
and I started crying.
37:12.271 --> 37:13.563
Meet my friends.
37:13.813 --> 37:14.688
- Hi!
- This is Amritha.
37:14.771 --> 37:15.646
- Lakshana,
- Hi.
37:15.771 --> 37:18.021
- Jayashree, and Divya.
- Hi. Hello.
37:18.646 --> 37:21.021
Sorry. We were supposed
to meet at the park,
37:21.313 --> 37:23.271
but we ended up meeting you all
at the bus stop instead.
37:23.730 --> 37:26.146
That's okay, boss.
We'll meet another day.
37:26.230 --> 37:28.396
We'll wait outside.
You guys continue.
37:28.688 --> 37:30.313
Alright? Let's go.
37:34.688 --> 37:36.521
Sorry, I didn't mean to do it.
37:37.146 --> 37:38.438
My phone switched off.
37:39.271 --> 37:41.980
Since I came here in a hurry,
I couldn't charge it.
37:43.771 --> 37:45.896
Namakkal, Salem!
Namakkal, Salem! Salem!
37:46.021 --> 37:49.438
Namakkal, Salem, Salem!
Namakkal, Salem, Salem!
38:01.271 --> 38:02.313
Should I leave?
38:11.271 --> 38:12.813
Hey, wait a minute.
38:14.188 --> 38:17.313
- Just shut up. I'm warning you!
- Hey, Divya! Stop!
38:17.855 --> 38:19.605
- Give it. You could've stayed there.
- Sorry, sorry!
38:23.771 --> 38:24.813
Don't start the bus yet, bro.
38:25.980 --> 38:27.855
Sathya, take this.
38:30.146 --> 38:32.646
There's a water bottle and
a banana for when you get hungry.
38:33.396 --> 38:36.188
I know you might not feel like eating
because of your mom,
38:36.521 --> 38:38.146
but please don't stay hungry, okay?
38:38.563 --> 38:40.980
Just seeing you will
give her strength again.
38:41.855 --> 38:43.480
Please, at least talk to her now.
38:44.771 --> 38:46.021
Call me once you reach.
38:46.105 --> 38:47.355
CHENNAI
SALEM
38:55.355 --> 38:58.063
I left her alone at the park
just like that.
38:58.813 --> 39:00.313
Why would she come after me?
39:00.771 --> 39:02.105
That too with her friends?
39:02.646 --> 39:04.146
When girls leave town,
39:04.438 --> 39:08.188
I've seen their boyfriends
send them off with water bottles
39:08.271 --> 39:10.980
and a few books to read,
right here at CMBT.
39:11.771 --> 39:13.438
But I've never seen someone like her.
39:24.563 --> 39:27.105
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
39:27.188 --> 39:28.271
HEY, JUST PICK UP THE PHONE ONCE.
39:28.355 --> 39:29.313
DON'T RIDE TOO FAST.
YOUR MOM WILL BE FINE.
39:29.396 --> 39:31.771
Seelay, Seelay
My only Seelay…
39:31.855 --> 39:32.730
SHOULD I COME TO THE VILLAGE
WITH YOU TO SEE AUNTIE TOO?
39:32.813 --> 39:33.813
WHICH BUS STAND ARE YOU LEAVING FROM?
DO YOU HAVE MONEY ON YOU?
39:34.230 --> 39:38.813
This love I feel, I must confess
It won't let my heart rest
39:38.980 --> 39:42.813
It aches to tell you why
39:43.855 --> 39:48.355
The words that echo deep in me
Did they find their way to you?
39:48.646 --> 39:50.896
My eyes can't hold it in
39:50.980 --> 39:53.230
You asked me that day
if I fell for your beauty?
39:54.563 --> 39:57.105
No.
This is the character you asked for.
39:57.771 --> 39:59.188
This is why I love you.
39:59.730 --> 40:02.896
If you ask me suddenly,
I won't be able to phrase it perfectly.
40:03.813 --> 40:04.813
That's how I am.
40:05.230 --> 40:06.396
I grew up that way.
40:06.896 --> 40:08.521
My inner voice kept yelling,
40:09.271 --> 40:11.063
"Everyone, look!
That's my girl!"
40:11.146 --> 40:12.063
Sir, ticket?
40:13.355 --> 40:14.396
Where are you going, sir?
40:16.605 --> 40:17.605
Brother, one ticket to Salem.
40:18.355 --> 40:19.646
Make it two.
40:23.438 --> 40:26.146
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
40:26.355 --> 40:27.355
Who else needs a ticket?
40:28.230 --> 40:30.896
Seelay, Seelay
My only Seelay…
40:32.980 --> 40:37.563
Like the moon that moves
Upon the river's face
40:37.855 --> 40:42.355
Like a beam of light
Touched by rain's embrace
40:42.646 --> 40:47.146
Your light that shines
So deep and true
40:47.438 --> 40:52.230
My life within the love I keep
Love of my life, it's you, just you
40:52.313 --> 40:54.813
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
40:54.980 --> 40:59.646
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
40:59.730 --> 41:01.688
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
41:01.855 --> 41:04.480
Seelay, Seelay
My only Seelay…
41:04.563 --> 41:09.188
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
41:09.313 --> 41:11.438
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
41:24.480 --> 41:25.355
Are you happy now?
41:26.855 --> 41:28.021
Okay, bye.
42:09.730 --> 42:11.396
From now on, tell her to rest
42:11.480 --> 42:13.938
instead of working
at the canal and the lake.
42:28.730 --> 42:31.355
Even on her deathbed,
your wife won't change, will she?
42:32.396 --> 42:34.521
I've had enough, Dad.
I'm going back to Chennai.
42:36.855 --> 42:37.730
Stop, dear.
42:40.938 --> 42:42.355
She won't change her mind.
42:43.688 --> 42:44.896
And you won't step down either.
42:47.146 --> 42:49.521
You two aren't going to
speak to each other in this lifetime.
42:50.646 --> 42:51.563
For my sake,
42:52.105 --> 42:54.521
stay here for a week.
So she can at least see you.
42:55.063 --> 42:56.021
She'll be all right.
43:02.146 --> 43:03.396
Hey, she's here.
43:14.313 --> 43:15.480
I didn't expect that…
43:16.146 --> 43:17.938
you would listen to me
and stay here.
43:18.896 --> 43:20.646
You've become calmer
and more composed.
43:21.605 --> 43:24.313
Whatever the reason,
I'm happy about it.
43:25.938 --> 43:26.980
There's a girl, Dad.
43:32.980 --> 43:33.980
Her name is Viji.
43:39.438 --> 43:43.938
I look at myself
But I'm not the same
43:44.271 --> 43:48.730
How do I tell you
That you're my world?
43:48.813 --> 43:53.605
You walked in
As the wings of my soul
43:53.688 --> 43:56.271
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
43:58.688 --> 44:03.105
You're the joy
That stole my heart away
44:03.396 --> 44:07.896
I search for you
As my eyes grow dim each day
44:07.980 --> 44:12.730
Take my hand and guide me home
44:12.813 --> 44:15.480
Seelay, Seelay
My only Seelay…
44:17.188 --> 44:21.980
Like a night that never fades away
And a story that never ends
44:22.063 --> 44:26.730
My soul searches for you in every beat
You're the rhythm that makes me complete
44:26.813 --> 44:31.813
Even the moon will rest one day
Close its eyes and drift away
44:31.896 --> 44:36.688
But our love won't lose its ray
44:36.771 --> 44:39.355
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
44:39.480 --> 44:44.105
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
44:44.271 --> 44:46.105
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
44:46.355 --> 44:48.896
Seelay, Seelay
My only Seelay…
44:49.063 --> 44:53.813
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
44:53.896 --> 44:55.980
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
44:58.105 --> 45:00.105
What are you doing
on my computer?
45:00.230 --> 45:01.980
I'm checking if you've got
adult videos.
45:03.646 --> 45:04.980
Check his computer.
You'll get it.
45:05.480 --> 45:08.688
In this restless, spinning world
45:08.855 --> 45:13.438
You gave me a lap
Where worries sleep
45:13.646 --> 45:19.438
You became my forever
45:19.980 --> 45:24.105
You came to me, my love
45:24.438 --> 45:29.105
I'm drenched by something unseen
I'm lost for words to express my love
45:29.313 --> 45:33.813
Distance means nothing
I'm close to you in every memory
45:33.980 --> 45:39.063
Even the moon will rest one day
Close its eyes and drift away
45:39.146 --> 45:43.896
But our love won't lose its ray
45:43.980 --> 45:46.521
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
45:46.646 --> 45:48.980
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
45:49.271 --> 45:51.355
Do you always have to
bring a gift?
45:51.480 --> 45:53.271
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
45:53.563 --> 45:56.105
Seelay, Seelay
My only Seelay…
45:56.271 --> 46:00.938
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
46:01.063 --> 46:03.021
Seelay, Seelay
My dear Seelay…
46:31.105 --> 46:32.063
Have a sweet.
46:32.271 --> 46:34.271
- What's the occasion?
- It's my 100th interview.
46:34.480 --> 46:35.355
That's why.
46:35.521 --> 46:36.855
No, thanks!
Sit down, please.
46:37.980 --> 46:38.855
Here, ma'am.
46:40.980 --> 46:41.855
What is this?
46:42.355 --> 46:43.230
What's wrong, ma'am?
46:43.396 --> 46:46.063
You filled the "sex" column
as "I'm waiting"?!
46:46.521 --> 46:47.396
Idiyappam!
46:47.480 --> 46:49.730
That was out of frustration, ma'am.
46:49.813 --> 46:50.730
Sorry, ma'am.
46:51.021 --> 46:52.105
What the hell is this?
46:52.771 --> 46:55.146
And you've filled your
area of interest as "Bangalore"?!
46:55.230 --> 46:56.188
Idiyappam!
46:56.271 --> 46:58.105
Oh, that's where my girl lives.
46:58.646 --> 47:00.146
What the hell is this?
47:01.105 --> 47:04.605
Your degree certificate has
Maruthi Printers' logo on it.
47:04.688 --> 47:06.021
It's a fake certificate!
47:06.105 --> 47:07.063
Idiyappam!
47:07.688 --> 47:09.396
- Get out! Get lost!
- Ma'am…
47:09.938 --> 47:12.813
#05
FOUR LIPS AND ONE KISS…
47:20.230 --> 47:21.105
Get away!
47:21.563 --> 47:22.980
Didn't you say you'd
be back only at night?
47:23.188 --> 47:26.396
Listen. I'm furious, man.
Don't make it worse!
47:26.605 --> 47:27.563
I want to drink in peace.
47:27.980 --> 47:29.563
Fine.
How did it go over there?
47:30.313 --> 47:31.271
It all went to hell.
47:32.355 --> 47:34.438
My producer's last movie was a total flop.
47:34.896 --> 47:36.188
He won't be able to finance it
for the next two years.
47:38.438 --> 47:40.480
This is all because of her!
This is her doing!
47:40.688 --> 47:42.771
- Who?
- My ex, of course.
47:43.771 --> 47:45.730
My whole life fell apart
the day she left me.
47:51.313 --> 47:52.896
- He got sweets for his 100th interview.
- Go take a look.
47:53.688 --> 47:56.063
I'll kill him if he didn't
get selected today.
48:04.313 --> 48:05.313
Sathya…
48:05.855 --> 48:08.021
- There's a girl asking for you.
- Sathya?
48:08.105 --> 48:08.980
Is she your girlfriend?
48:09.271 --> 48:10.188
Move, please.
48:11.730 --> 48:12.813
Why are you here?!
48:16.563 --> 48:18.938
- Did anyone see you come?
- Nope.
48:22.230 --> 48:24.146
Hey, can I show her around?
48:24.521 --> 48:25.480
Just keep quiet.
48:28.938 --> 48:29.980
Feel at home, sister.
48:40.521 --> 48:41.855
Viji, meet Mani.
48:42.355 --> 48:43.771
- My close friend.
- Oh.
48:44.396 --> 48:45.313
Hi!
48:45.480 --> 48:46.480
Nice meeting you.
48:46.730 --> 48:48.521
Remember the slap I gave you?
48:48.855 --> 48:49.771
Why bring that up now?
48:50.896 --> 48:53.730
Don't mind me.
I'll take my drinks elsewhere.
48:53.896 --> 48:56.146
- Anyway, my beers are getting warm--
- It's alright.
48:56.521 --> 48:58.188
- No worries, you can drink here.
- Oh, no, no.
48:58.438 --> 49:00.771
If I stay, neither of us can do
what we want.
49:00.855 --> 49:02.146
- What are you doing, man?
- I'll leave you two be.
49:02.355 --> 49:03.771
Have fun! Bye!
49:04.230 --> 49:06.105
- Dude! Dude!
- But it's raining--
49:06.646 --> 49:07.563
Sathya!
49:08.438 --> 49:09.396
I'm leaving my slippers here.
49:10.105 --> 49:10.980
I'm heading out!
49:11.188 --> 49:13.396
Turn up the TV to drown out the noise.
Call me if you need anything! Bye!
49:18.563 --> 49:20.271
Pickle!
The perfect pairing!
49:21.855 --> 49:23.563
I know why he left us alone.
49:24.271 --> 49:26.480
You're sick,
and I just came to check on you.
49:27.396 --> 49:28.938
But if you don't behave,
49:30.105 --> 49:30.980
I'll kill you.
49:41.188 --> 49:42.438
What's this?
49:44.480 --> 49:45.480
Idiyappam!
49:48.938 --> 49:50.146
Just put it back.
49:50.646 --> 49:51.896
My head's already killing me.
50:07.355 --> 50:09.063
Feels like I'm seeing you after years.
50:11.355 --> 50:15.188
Since you got back,
you've been on sick leave.
50:15.646 --> 50:16.980
Thought I'd pay you a visit.
50:17.771 --> 50:19.313
But I didn't know
your friend would be here.
50:19.938 --> 50:20.855
I'm sorry.
50:21.438 --> 50:22.355
Screw him.
50:22.605 --> 50:24.605
Okay, when are you planning
to tell your mom about us?
50:27.230 --> 50:28.105
- Okay, don't tell her.
- Hey.
50:28.230 --> 50:29.855
It's not like I don't want to.
50:30.271 --> 50:31.980
Will you hear me out, please?
50:32.646 --> 50:33.980
I want to become an IAS officer.
50:34.938 --> 50:35.896
That's been my dream.
50:37.563 --> 50:38.688
Everything else is secondary.
50:40.396 --> 50:42.146
Only then will my mother
take me seriously.
50:42.730 --> 50:43.646
Do you understand?
50:45.271 --> 50:48.313
Until then, I want you to stay calm,
like that snake in Chandramukhi.
50:48.730 --> 50:52.646
No hissing, no dancing.
Just be a good boy, okay?
50:58.855 --> 51:02.605
Hey, you're burning up.
51:02.855 --> 51:04.146
What did the doctor say?
51:04.938 --> 51:06.313
You don't know?
51:08.105 --> 51:10.355
You sent me "those" texts all night,
51:10.855 --> 51:11.855
and now you're asking me?
51:12.646 --> 51:15.313
You don't know?
You don't?
51:18.438 --> 51:19.313
What the hell is this?
51:19.396 --> 51:20.980
An orange dupatta?
51:21.355 --> 51:22.730
And it's got Hindi on it.
51:23.938 --> 51:26.313
- Yeah.
- Alright, tell me what this is.
51:26.563 --> 51:27.480
This is the letter "Y."
51:27.730 --> 51:28.605
This?
51:28.813 --> 51:29.688
This is "O."
51:29.896 --> 51:30.771
And this?
51:31.355 --> 51:32.230
That's "M."
51:32.688 --> 51:33.605
"M"?
51:34.355 --> 51:35.230
What about this?
51:37.355 --> 51:39.146
Why do we need a third language
51:39.230 --> 51:40.605
when we have our glorious Tamil?
51:40.896 --> 51:41.938
Get your hands off me!
51:42.021 --> 51:43.438
Take your hands off me!
51:44.813 --> 51:46.563
I'm only against its imposition,
51:47.230 --> 51:48.188
not the language itself.
51:58.313 --> 51:59.521
When desire creeps in,
51:59.771 --> 52:02.271
love doesn't stop for red
52:02.563 --> 52:04.563
or go on green.
52:04.896 --> 52:07.355
It's like a flashing orange light
in the middle of the night.
52:07.896 --> 52:09.730
You've got to tread carefully.
52:20.438 --> 52:21.355
Dude?
52:24.271 --> 52:25.188
Hey…
52:27.396 --> 52:28.521
Viji left?
52:29.313 --> 52:30.271
Not yet.
52:30.813 --> 52:32.396
Will leave in a while.
You can come in.
52:32.855 --> 52:33.813
Is this really our room?
52:36.021 --> 52:37.771
My lungi is…
52:38.230 --> 52:39.521
now a curtain!
52:40.355 --> 52:41.688
Forgive me, my Lord.
52:43.813 --> 52:44.688
- Hey…
- Careful, man.
52:44.771 --> 52:45.646
Careful.
52:45.730 --> 52:47.021
- Dinner's ready?
- Yes, please sit.
52:47.105 --> 52:47.980
Sit.
52:54.521 --> 52:55.730
I made it all.
52:56.063 --> 52:57.063
Tell me if you like it.
52:58.730 --> 52:59.605
Enough.
53:02.271 --> 53:03.230
You're not hungry?
53:03.563 --> 53:05.021
- You first.
- Eat with him.
53:05.105 --> 53:05.980
Let him eat.
53:07.563 --> 53:08.980
Long live home-cooked food!
53:35.146 --> 53:36.271
It's been three years
53:36.980 --> 53:38.688
since I last ate at home.
53:39.438 --> 53:40.480
All thanks to her!
53:44.896 --> 53:46.438
- Slowly, slowly. Have some water.
- Don't cry!
53:48.105 --> 53:51.230
I thought you would've pounced on
each other since the room was all yours.
53:51.480 --> 53:53.813
But you tidied it up
and cooked dinner, instead!
53:54.396 --> 53:55.605
So you're a good girl.
53:56.188 --> 53:58.355
Who said we didn't?
53:59.980 --> 54:01.980
Oh, my. That was unexpected!
54:02.521 --> 54:03.438
Very good.
54:03.855 --> 54:04.813
Good to know that.
54:05.230 --> 54:08.105
I've been there,
and I can relate to this.
54:08.646 --> 54:10.688
- Is that rasam? Can I have some?
- Yes.
54:12.980 --> 54:13.938
Thank you, that'll do.
54:14.480 --> 54:15.396
Pour some in my hand, please.
54:22.313 --> 54:23.730
Why did you two split up?
54:25.605 --> 54:26.730
Did you try to win her back?
54:27.438 --> 54:29.855
You see, in the beginning,
54:30.438 --> 54:32.105
chemistry is all love needs.
54:33.021 --> 54:33.938
But as time goes on,
54:35.355 --> 54:36.230
you need math, too.
54:36.480 --> 54:39.063
Math is very important, you know?
54:41.188 --> 54:43.605
I wasn't born with a silver spoon,
unfortunately.
54:44.771 --> 54:47.521
I fled to Chennai because
cinema's my everything.
54:48.438 --> 54:49.813
And years flew away in a blink.
54:50.355 --> 54:52.230
How long will she keep
taking care of me?
54:54.230 --> 54:55.980
She fought with me
and went away.
54:56.563 --> 54:58.146
I pooled in all the cash I had
54:58.646 --> 55:00.396
and looked for her everywhere.
55:00.896 --> 55:03.646
But when I couldn't bear my hunger
after the third day,
55:04.063 --> 55:05.063
I gave up.
55:06.855 --> 55:08.563
These days,
even a pair of slippers…
55:10.021 --> 55:11.146
gets on my nerves!
55:12.146 --> 55:15.438
When I go into the bathroom
to console myself,
55:15.896 --> 55:17.480
I dunk my head in a bucket of water
55:18.230 --> 55:19.730
and cry my heart out.
55:20.563 --> 55:22.855
And to ease my physical needs, I…
55:23.438 --> 55:24.355
Hey, hey!
55:26.021 --> 55:26.938
Oh.
55:27.396 --> 55:29.230
Sorry, sister.
I shouldn't have said that.
55:30.813 --> 55:31.730
Sorry, man.
55:32.313 --> 55:33.188
But…
55:33.396 --> 55:34.688
the food was fantastic.
55:35.938 --> 55:37.271
He's really lucky to have you!
55:38.188 --> 55:39.938
Hey, wait.
I'm not done talking.
55:40.313 --> 55:41.230
Wait.
55:41.730 --> 55:42.605
Sister,
55:42.980 --> 55:45.063
being in love is an amazing feeling.
55:45.646 --> 55:47.730
You can sit with your loved ones,
55:47.980 --> 55:52.771
look back on all the trouble
you got into and your glory days,
55:53.063 --> 55:54.688
and laugh your heart out.
55:56.688 --> 55:59.063
But talking about your failed love story,
55:59.605 --> 56:04.271
telling everyone how you blew it
just for free drinks…
56:05.771 --> 56:06.896
- Alright.
- that's the worst kind of pain.
56:07.480 --> 56:08.355
Time to sleep.
56:08.605 --> 56:11.021
- Hey, let go of me! I wasn't done!
- Come on, man!
56:11.271 --> 56:12.938
Listen up, Viji.
56:13.646 --> 56:14.605
If you…
56:15.605 --> 56:17.646
decide to break up with my buddy
56:17.938 --> 56:20.563
because your mother
or your father disapproved of him,
56:21.105 --> 56:23.230
- I swear I won't let you rest in peace!
- Hey!
56:23.521 --> 56:24.688
- Shut up!
- Oh, don't shush me!
56:25.063 --> 56:27.521
- I may be drunk now,
- That's enough.
56:27.605 --> 56:28.813
- but I meant every word.
- Shut up, man.
57:00.730 --> 57:01.646
Bye.
57:08.813 --> 57:09.771
What's the matter?
57:28.980 --> 57:30.646
TEA ESTATE OWNER'S DAUGHTER
CLEARS IAS EXAM
58:11.438 --> 58:13.855
Okay, hold this. I'll look at it when
I'm back. I'm running late. Okay?
58:13.938 --> 58:15.730
- Hey--
- Yes, Sathya?
58:16.938 --> 58:18.938
Are you ready to look me in the eye
like this for the rest of your life?
58:19.188 --> 58:20.438
I want to become an IAS officer.
58:22.313 --> 58:24.730
Don't hesitate to follow your heart, dear.
58:25.105 --> 58:27.355
Honestly, why did you
fall in love with me?
58:27.730 --> 58:28.896
I swear, I don't know!
58:29.521 --> 58:31.271
In the beginning,
chemistry is all love needs.
58:31.771 --> 58:33.688
But as time goes on,
you need math, too.
58:34.105 --> 58:35.105
Math is very important.
58:35.771 --> 58:36.688
Viji?
58:52.480 --> 58:53.355
Viji…
58:54.063 --> 58:55.021
Yes?
58:56.313 --> 58:57.730
I've been watching you since morning.
58:58.105 --> 58:59.646
What are you thinking?
What's wrong?
59:01.396 --> 59:02.313
It's nothing.
59:03.521 --> 59:04.855
Your face doesn't say that, Viji.
59:10.105 --> 59:11.021
I'm resigning.
59:11.438 --> 59:13.313
What are you saying, Viji?
Who did you ask before deciding this?
59:15.688 --> 59:16.646
Why would I need to ask anyone?
59:17.271 --> 59:18.188
I make my own decisions.
59:18.438 --> 59:19.355
You should've asked me!
59:19.855 --> 59:20.771
We are in love with each other.
59:20.855 --> 59:22.563
We can't make individual
decisions anymore.
59:24.271 --> 59:25.355
It has to be "our" decision.
59:28.230 --> 59:29.146
Tell me this, then.
59:30.355 --> 59:32.980
What did you want to become growing up?
59:33.521 --> 59:35.771
I just wanted to be a grown-up.
59:40.646 --> 59:42.188
Answer me, Viji!
59:52.188 --> 59:53.271
Come on in!
59:55.438 --> 59:56.646
Love you, Hema!
01:00:14.521 --> 01:00:15.813
Why do you keep tailing me?
01:00:15.896 --> 01:00:17.730
Most of them know that I love you.
01:00:18.063 --> 01:00:20.771
- They don't know it's mutual now.
- So what if they do?
01:00:21.021 --> 01:00:24.063
Everyone and everything back home
knows about us.
01:00:31.313 --> 01:00:33.896
Tell me, Viji!
Because I'm done hiding our relationship.
01:00:47.146 --> 01:00:49.355
Guys! Wait, wait!
I'm sorry.
01:00:49.855 --> 01:00:50.771
Guys, guys, guys!
01:00:51.313 --> 01:00:52.396
May I have your attention?
01:00:57.105 --> 01:00:58.313
Sathya and I are in a relationship.
01:01:00.105 --> 01:01:01.105
Relationship?
01:01:02.646 --> 01:01:04.563
- What about Manoj?
- Shut up, idiot.
01:01:05.146 --> 01:01:06.271
What about me?
01:01:06.938 --> 01:01:09.230
Viji, are you okay?
01:01:13.355 --> 01:01:16.271
It's alright.
It's not like he's the only man around.
01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:19.355
Will you shut up?
You have no idea what love is.
01:01:19.605 --> 01:01:20.896
Please tell me he's pranking us all.
01:01:22.646 --> 01:01:25.563
You expect us to randomly believe
01:01:25.771 --> 01:01:27.896
- that you're dating him?
- Are you pranking us?
01:01:27.980 --> 01:01:29.271
How do I prove it to them?
01:01:31.521 --> 01:01:33.563
If we were married,
I'd have shown my thaali.
01:01:34.521 --> 01:01:35.480
But…
01:01:40.980 --> 01:01:42.980
Hey, my neck hurts.
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:44.730
Can you bend down a little?
01:02:13.855 --> 01:02:16.855
I felt my identity slowly slipping away
01:02:17.230 --> 01:02:19.980
the moment Viji said
she wanted to pursue IAS.
01:02:20.313 --> 01:02:22.271
It felt like graduation day.
01:02:22.855 --> 01:02:25.813
Viji's 21, and I'm 29.
01:02:26.021 --> 01:02:29.063
I'd never felt the age gap between us
when we were walking side by side.
01:02:29.563 --> 01:02:31.563
But the moment she stepped ahead,
01:02:31.980 --> 01:02:36.021
she felt miles away,
like a fading speck in the distance.
01:02:38.980 --> 01:02:42.146
If you love me,
if we're meant to be together,
01:02:42.521 --> 01:02:44.771
and if you can still hear me,
01:02:45.146 --> 01:02:46.813
just turn around and look at me, Viji.
01:02:48.230 --> 01:02:49.105
Viji…
01:02:50.855 --> 01:02:51.730
Viji…
01:02:57.855 --> 01:03:00.646
I've always told every couple I met
01:03:00.730 --> 01:03:04.605
they'd end up together,
just to spare them the heartbreak.
01:03:04.855 --> 01:03:06.938
Until I met you two.
01:03:07.230 --> 01:03:08.438
You and she
01:03:08.938 --> 01:03:10.230
aren't meant for each other.
01:03:11.105 --> 01:03:13.563
One day, you're going to suffer a lot.
01:03:17.230 --> 01:03:19.313
Come on, dance with us!
01:03:19.771 --> 01:03:22.063
Everything may seem fine
01:03:22.646 --> 01:03:25.396
until it's her turn.
01:03:33.021 --> 01:03:35.396
One day, she'll show you
who she really is.
01:03:35.521 --> 01:03:37.021
That'll shake you to your core.
01:04:46.730 --> 01:04:48.355
I'm not sure if I can stand again.
01:04:49.688 --> 01:04:50.938
I don't know if I'll open my eyes.
01:04:53.063 --> 01:04:56.771
All I can hear is her laugh
and the sound of the rain.
01:04:58.855 --> 01:04:59.813
Viji?
01:05:01.855 --> 01:05:02.730
Viji!
01:05:05.521 --> 01:05:06.480
Viji…
01:05:07.896 --> 01:05:11.855
#06 A DRIFTING KITE
IN THE COLD BREEZE
01:05:14.605 --> 01:05:16.563
Cultural understanding
of health and disease
01:05:16.646 --> 01:05:19.230
explains how communities
interpret illness through their beliefs.
01:05:19.313 --> 01:05:22.521
Viji was dead set on clearing
her IAS exams this year.
01:05:22.896 --> 01:05:25.230
Mani was knocking on
every production company's door
01:05:25.313 --> 01:05:26.896
to get his script approved.
01:05:27.563 --> 01:05:30.521
Vasanth got a job in Bangalore
and settled down with his girlfriend.
01:05:30.605 --> 01:05:31.480
Sir!
01:05:32.105 --> 01:05:33.105
Thank you so much, sir.
01:05:33.230 --> 01:05:34.146
But me?
01:05:34.355 --> 01:05:37.521
Without Viji
and no will to work,
01:05:37.855 --> 01:05:38.855
I felt completely lost!
01:06:02.646 --> 01:06:06.146
I'm wilting away, my flower
01:06:07.105 --> 01:06:12.605
My sweet summer bloom
Because of you
01:06:13.771 --> 01:06:16.271
Why did you come?
I told you I'd take the bus.
01:06:16.605 --> 01:06:18.021
I wanted to see you.
01:06:18.521 --> 01:06:22.521
- I'm wilting away, my flower
- Okay, let's go.
01:06:23.105 --> 01:06:28.605
My sweet summer bloom
Because of you
01:06:29.230 --> 01:06:33.146
Since my love has drifted away
01:06:33.730 --> 01:06:39.313
I'm a poet reborn today
01:06:47.230 --> 01:06:48.563
You're okay, right?
01:06:49.605 --> 01:06:51.813
I wanted to see you,
01:06:51.980 --> 01:06:53.396
but I just couldn't find the time.
01:06:54.188 --> 01:06:55.813
My prelims are in two days.
01:06:56.396 --> 01:06:57.355
I understand, Viji.
01:06:57.730 --> 01:07:02.646
The moon above whispers my ache
01:07:03.105 --> 01:07:08.313
The earth below bears what I take
01:07:08.438 --> 01:07:13.438
- The moon above whispers my ache
- Do you always have to bring a gift?
01:07:13.771 --> 01:07:18.813
The earth below bears what I take
01:07:19.855 --> 01:07:25.021
Between the heavens and the earth
01:07:25.105 --> 01:07:30.021
Why are we so far apart, my love?
01:07:30.105 --> 01:07:31.605
- What's wrong?
- It's just that…
01:07:32.230 --> 01:07:35.480
sometimes I wish I could
meet my dad, just once.
01:07:35.771 --> 01:07:38.063
Why?
To ask him why he left?
01:07:39.396 --> 01:07:41.313
I've never even seen
a picture of him.
01:07:41.396 --> 01:07:44.480
His name is Kurunila Kathiravan.
That's all I know about him.
01:07:45.521 --> 01:07:48.688
No matter what,
I would never leave you, Viji.
01:07:48.771 --> 01:07:52.730
I'm wilting away, my flower
01:07:53.355 --> 01:07:58.855
My sweet summer bloom
Because of you
01:07:59.271 --> 01:08:00.980
- What else?
- Viji,
01:08:01.063 --> 01:08:06.730
this kind of question only comes up
after we've talked for a while.
01:08:07.105 --> 01:08:09.646
Don't you have anything else to say?
01:08:10.646 --> 01:08:12.271
Alright, get some rest.
01:08:12.771 --> 01:08:14.563
Wake me up at four, okay?
01:08:15.063 --> 01:08:15.938
Okay.
01:08:16.355 --> 01:08:17.688
- Love you, da.
- Love you.
01:08:19.646 --> 01:08:24.813
You are the endless sky
I am the world below
01:08:24.980 --> 01:08:27.271
You are a silver cloud
01:08:27.355 --> 01:08:30.271
- Still awake?
- I am a broken sliver, incomplete
01:08:30.938 --> 01:08:37.896
By losing myself in you
I have unraveled my soul
01:08:38.313 --> 01:08:43.563
I'm wilting away, my flower
01:08:46.480 --> 01:08:47.438
Open it.
01:08:51.230 --> 01:08:52.855
What is this?
Okay, you can go.
01:09:04.896 --> 01:09:07.021
- Are you taking over for Viji?
- Yes.
01:09:07.396 --> 01:09:08.688
- Are you married?
- Yeah.
01:09:09.396 --> 01:09:10.313
I love you.
01:09:12.980 --> 01:09:14.063
Good thing she didn't catch that.
01:09:16.855 --> 01:09:18.938
- Hello.
- Can I speak to Sathya sir?
01:09:19.313 --> 01:09:20.271
Yes, ma'am.
01:09:20.521 --> 01:09:21.563
How did your exams go?
01:09:21.938 --> 01:09:23.021
Pretty well.
01:09:23.521 --> 01:09:25.188
But the mains are tougher.
01:09:25.396 --> 01:09:26.563
I've only got four months.
01:09:27.146 --> 01:09:28.271
I need to study really hard.
01:09:28.563 --> 01:09:29.771
Anyway, where are you?
01:09:30.438 --> 01:09:31.313
At work.
01:09:32.605 --> 01:09:34.688
I need to go somewhere tomorrow.
Can you take me?
01:09:36.271 --> 01:09:37.563
What's this?
Hitting Enter gives me an error.
01:09:37.646 --> 01:09:38.646
I knew it.
01:09:39.146 --> 01:09:40.730
I was wondering
why you were being so nice.
01:09:41.938 --> 01:09:46.271
Don't make it sound like
I'm only being nice to get a ride.
01:09:47.146 --> 01:09:48.605
Alright, I'll take you.
01:09:49.313 --> 01:09:50.396
Mind telling me why?
01:09:53.313 --> 01:09:57.230
#07 FALLEN ROSES
01:11:09.438 --> 01:11:10.396
Hey, Sathya!
01:11:10.730 --> 01:11:11.688
Look over there.
01:11:13.355 --> 01:11:14.355
That's Rukmini auntie,
01:11:14.813 --> 01:11:16.771
my Hindi teacher.
She sings really well.
01:11:20.521 --> 01:11:22.396
And that man over there is her husband.
01:11:22.771 --> 01:11:25.146
These are all his paintings.
01:11:30.480 --> 01:11:32.230
She really does look like an angel.
01:11:33.605 --> 01:11:34.563
Stop drooling.
01:12:01.313 --> 01:12:02.230
Hello.
01:12:10.646 --> 01:12:11.521
Hi.
01:12:11.605 --> 01:12:12.521
Do you like my artwork?
01:12:16.688 --> 01:12:18.230
You have very nice paintings.
01:12:18.313 --> 01:12:19.230
Thank you.
01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:23.646
- What?
- I just realized
01:12:24.021 --> 01:12:28.063
it's hard to look someone
in the eye when they're taller than you.
01:12:28.146 --> 01:12:30.355
- Sorry, what?
- Height, height.
01:12:33.521 --> 01:12:36.980
- Looking for someone?
- Yeah, my favorite painting.
01:12:38.646 --> 01:12:39.521
Okay.
01:13:34.896 --> 01:13:37.063
Viji, is that Sathya?
01:13:48.730 --> 01:13:50.688
Oh, my God!
Look at the way he's admiring you!
01:13:52.605 --> 01:13:55.688
It's the first time he's seeing me
in a lehenga.
01:13:59.438 --> 01:14:00.605
He's melting!
01:14:09.438 --> 01:14:11.646
- Put the bags in the car.
- Sure, ma'am.
01:14:12.563 --> 01:14:13.563
- Bro, go get the umbrella.
- Viji.
01:14:18.063 --> 01:14:18.938
Please sit.
01:14:20.855 --> 01:14:23.313
So, Sathya,
has Viji mentioned me?
01:14:23.730 --> 01:14:26.980
Yeah, she was just talking about you,
but then…
01:14:27.063 --> 01:14:28.938
And then what?
I interrupted
01:14:29.021 --> 01:14:30.938
- like a total buzzkill?
- No, not at all.
01:14:32.646 --> 01:14:33.980
Viji was my student.
01:14:34.646 --> 01:14:37.355
She lived in our building
when she was in school.
01:14:37.980 --> 01:14:40.521
I used to call her Radha.
01:14:41.021 --> 01:14:42.355
I don't even know why.
01:14:43.521 --> 01:14:45.313
You used to come to my Hindi classes
01:14:45.396 --> 01:14:46.313
- back then, right?
- Yes.
01:14:46.813 --> 01:14:49.771
- Remember any of it?
- Yes.
01:14:50.188 --> 01:14:51.771
She's taught me a bit of Hindi too.
01:14:51.855 --> 01:14:52.730
You…
01:14:52.896 --> 01:14:55.771
Hey, that sounds like
some kind of code word.
01:14:55.980 --> 01:14:57.521
No, no, it's nothing.
01:15:00.563 --> 01:15:03.105
- Okay, I'm running late for my flight.
- Okay, ma'am.
01:15:03.188 --> 01:15:04.646
- I'll leave now.
- Okay.
01:15:05.230 --> 01:15:06.855
Do you want me to drop you somewhere?
01:15:06.938 --> 01:15:08.980
- No.
- I have my bike. I'll manage.
01:15:09.313 --> 01:15:10.730
In this rain?
01:15:10.980 --> 01:15:12.521
And it's a pretty long way, isn't it?
01:15:12.938 --> 01:15:13.938
Let's do one thing.
01:15:14.646 --> 01:15:16.063
- Pooja.
- One second.
01:15:17.271 --> 01:15:18.396
When is our checkout?
01:15:18.855 --> 01:15:19.813
Tomorrow at 11 a.m.
01:15:20.146 --> 01:15:21.605
- Okay, give me my key.
- Yes.
01:15:22.521 --> 01:15:23.771
- Thank you.
- It's okay, ma'am.
01:15:24.771 --> 01:15:27.313
This is my room key.
You can use it.
01:15:28.730 --> 01:15:30.688
- We're leaving anyway, so…
- But…
01:15:31.105 --> 01:15:34.355
freshen up, grab something to eat,
and relax for a bit, okay?
01:15:35.021 --> 01:15:36.480
No, it's okay.
We'll manage.
01:15:36.563 --> 01:15:38.271
- It's okay.
- Don't be so formal with me.
01:15:39.355 --> 01:15:41.063
Do you like the lehenga?
01:15:42.355 --> 01:15:43.271
It's beautiful.
01:15:43.396 --> 01:15:45.896
I called you here to give you this.
01:15:48.480 --> 01:15:51.230
Okay, dear, I'll get going.
Stay in touch.
01:15:51.521 --> 01:15:53.230
- It was nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you.
01:15:55.396 --> 01:15:56.271
Bye.
01:15:56.480 --> 01:15:57.355
Bye.
01:16:31.355 --> 01:16:32.230
I was…
01:16:32.771 --> 01:16:33.688
The bag…
01:16:35.980 --> 01:16:37.105
I'll just use the restroom.
01:16:38.896 --> 01:16:39.896
Oh, no.
01:16:51.646 --> 01:16:53.480
Yes, Mom.
She was really nice to me.
01:16:53.563 --> 01:16:56.480
She even gave me a beautiful lehenga.
01:16:56.980 --> 01:16:58.230
I'm wearing it now.
01:17:00.646 --> 01:17:02.271
Yes, I came with a friend.
01:17:02.771 --> 01:17:04.480
Sathya…
I've told you about him.
01:17:05.938 --> 01:17:07.063
Anyway, did you eat?
01:17:08.771 --> 01:17:12.355
Okay then, go get some sleep.
I'll get home safe.
01:17:13.063 --> 01:17:14.021
Bye.
01:17:15.730 --> 01:17:16.688
What are you doing?
01:17:18.063 --> 01:17:19.021
Hey!
01:17:22.521 --> 01:17:24.980
Viji, do you remember?
01:17:25.938 --> 01:17:27.605
Before we started dating,
01:17:27.896 --> 01:17:31.271
when you'd travel home
late at night in an auto-rickshaw,
01:17:31.813 --> 01:17:36.605
I told you to act like
you were calling home.
01:17:36.896 --> 01:17:42.730
To tell your mom when you'd get home
and give her the license plate number.
01:17:43.063 --> 01:17:46.896
I told you to do that so the driver
wouldn't mess with you.
01:17:48.563 --> 01:17:50.771
But I never imagined…
01:17:52.355 --> 01:17:54.563
you'd use that trick on me.
01:17:56.271 --> 01:17:57.313
What are you even saying?
01:17:58.438 --> 01:17:59.355
I don't get it.
01:18:00.105 --> 01:18:01.271
Be honest with me.
01:18:01.980 --> 01:18:03.313
Was that really your mom?
01:18:06.396 --> 01:18:07.271
No.
01:18:08.146 --> 01:18:09.063
Why, Viji?
01:18:10.313 --> 01:18:12.396
Are you ever going to trust me?
01:18:16.396 --> 01:18:17.313
How could I?
01:18:19.521 --> 01:18:21.813
The moment we got the room key,
where did you run off to?
01:18:23.563 --> 01:18:24.521
What's in your pocket?
01:18:30.313 --> 01:18:31.271
See for yourself.
01:18:34.896 --> 01:18:36.646
There was a stall downstairs.
01:18:37.688 --> 01:18:41.521
I saw these earrings and thought
they'd match your dress perfectly.
01:18:50.605 --> 01:18:51.730
Why do you do this?
01:18:52.271 --> 01:18:54.438
Why do you always
get me something?
01:18:58.980 --> 01:19:01.146
Do you always have to
bring a gift?
01:19:02.938 --> 01:19:06.980
I want everything around you
to remind you of me, Viji.
01:19:07.563 --> 01:19:10.105
To me, that's a real achievement.
01:19:13.480 --> 01:19:15.105
I am not your "achievement," Sathya.
01:19:15.813 --> 01:19:18.355
I'm not your trophy,
please understand that.
01:19:28.813 --> 01:19:30.521
I'm fighting to become an IAS officer.
01:19:31.063 --> 01:19:33.021
You need to find something
to fight for, too.
01:19:33.813 --> 01:19:35.230
Set a goal and go for it!
01:19:35.855 --> 01:19:37.230
There won't be time
for any of this then.
01:19:47.646 --> 01:19:49.063
We aren't the same anymore, Viji.
01:19:50.230 --> 01:19:51.855
I wake you up,
01:19:53.021 --> 01:19:54.605
I take you places you want to go,
01:19:56.355 --> 01:20:01.230
yet sometimes you just leave
without looking back.
01:20:03.563 --> 01:20:05.313
Don't get me wrong.
01:20:06.021 --> 01:20:07.021
But lately,
01:20:07.730 --> 01:20:11.396
I feel more like your driver.
01:20:14.438 --> 01:20:16.438
I'm not interested
in anything else, Viji.
01:20:17.480 --> 01:20:19.355
I just want to see you,
talk to you,
01:20:19.980 --> 01:20:21.563
make you laugh,
and make you think of us.
01:20:22.271 --> 01:20:25.063
When I get you something like this,
01:20:25.396 --> 01:20:28.188
you kiss me and hold me tight.
01:20:28.813 --> 01:20:29.771
That's enough for me!
01:20:30.521 --> 01:20:33.396
To me, that's love.
01:20:35.146 --> 01:20:38.146
I can't think beyond that.
01:20:44.771 --> 01:20:45.646
Fine.
01:20:46.563 --> 01:20:48.605
You say you can't think beyond this.
01:20:50.855 --> 01:20:51.938
Then don't.
01:20:53.021 --> 01:20:53.980
Just see what "this" actually is.
01:20:54.938 --> 01:20:56.021
What are you even saying, Viji?
01:20:57.063 --> 01:20:57.980
Stop blabbering.
01:20:58.896 --> 01:21:00.063
I'm serious, Sathya.
01:21:01.438 --> 01:21:03.230
Holding hands and touching shoulders
as we walk,
01:21:03.688 --> 01:21:05.438
riding over speed bumps,
01:21:05.938 --> 01:21:07.855
sharing a drink with two straws,
01:21:08.188 --> 01:21:10.521
choosing corner seats at the theater,
01:21:10.771 --> 01:21:11.730
what is it all for?
01:21:13.813 --> 01:21:16.146
It's just a way to savor love
in small bits, isn't it?
01:21:17.896 --> 01:21:19.271
Thinking about what it is,
how it feels,
01:21:20.063 --> 01:21:21.480
whether you can see it
or feel it,
01:21:21.771 --> 01:21:24.396
where to meet next,
how to move forward,
01:21:24.980 --> 01:21:28.396
these thoughts take over everything,
don't they?
01:21:31.938 --> 01:21:33.230
So let's see what it is today.
01:21:34.855 --> 01:21:35.771
No, Viji.
01:21:36.646 --> 01:21:37.521
Stop.
01:21:38.063 --> 01:21:39.271
Let's just leave.
01:21:40.021 --> 01:21:40.896
What now?
01:21:41.313 --> 01:21:42.896
Are you about to give me the
"wait till marriage" speech?
01:21:45.230 --> 01:21:46.396
I don't believe in all that.
01:21:47.813 --> 01:21:50.771
Does it really matter
if it's before or after marriage?
01:21:52.105 --> 01:21:53.021
Are you coming,
01:21:53.771 --> 01:21:54.771
or should I just leave?
01:22:08.146 --> 01:22:10.271
I don't think you really mean
any of this, Viji.
01:22:10.980 --> 01:22:12.271
This feels wrong.
01:22:12.605 --> 01:22:14.813
Only the mind knows
right from wrong.
01:22:15.230 --> 01:22:16.188
But the heart
01:22:16.896 --> 01:22:18.855
only knows whether it wants it or not.
01:22:19.938 --> 01:22:21.521
What does your heart want, Sathya?
01:22:22.896 --> 01:22:24.063
Do whatever you want,
01:22:25.105 --> 01:22:26.271
my heart's just not in it.
01:22:26.980 --> 01:22:27.855
Let's go.
01:22:32.313 --> 01:22:33.230
I'm leaving.
01:22:45.105 --> 01:22:47.605
I don't know whether what Viji
said was right or wrong…
01:22:49.063 --> 01:22:52.980
but it felt wrong to just
leave her like this every time.
01:23:17.938 --> 01:23:19.313
Don't ever leave me.
01:23:26.063 --> 01:23:29.355
Wild little longings live in my chest
01:23:30.063 --> 01:23:33.230
Silent passions glow in my eyes
01:23:34.063 --> 01:23:37.396
Wild little longings live in my chest
01:23:38.063 --> 01:23:41.396
Silent passions glow in my eyes
01:23:41.855 --> 01:23:44.771
In this golden hour we meet
01:23:45.855 --> 01:23:48.813
I dissolve in you so sweet
01:23:49.813 --> 01:23:53.021
Like a cloud of quiet desire
01:23:53.771 --> 01:23:58.021
Won't it speak without a fire?
01:23:58.105 --> 01:24:01.313
Will you come near me?
01:24:02.063 --> 01:24:05.855
Will you look into my eyes, my love?
01:24:06.063 --> 01:24:09.313
Will you come, slip into my fingers?
01:24:10.063 --> 01:24:14.021
Will you give yourself to me
Until I lose myself tonight?
01:24:14.105 --> 01:24:17.355
Wild little longings live in my chest
01:24:18.063 --> 01:24:21.355
Silent passions glow in my eyes
01:24:22.063 --> 01:24:25.938
Wild little longings live in my chest
01:24:26.063 --> 01:24:29.396
Silent passions glow in my eyes
01:24:54.063 --> 01:24:57.063
O moon of a tender summer eve
01:24:58.063 --> 01:25:02.021
Will you come share
The night with me, will you?
01:25:02.105 --> 01:25:05.355
Are you the sea
That moves in delight?
01:25:06.021 --> 01:25:10.021
Shall I rise like a high tide
And fall gracefully at your feet?
01:25:10.105 --> 01:25:13.313
Won't these kisses linger on?
01:25:14.063 --> 01:25:17.313
Aren't you the music of my bliss?
01:25:18.063 --> 01:25:22.063
Unfading desires held within
Never breaking past the line
01:25:22.396 --> 01:25:25.480
Still, a quiet bloom awakens inside
01:25:26.063 --> 01:25:29.313
Will you come near me?
01:25:30.063 --> 01:25:33.938
Will you look into my eyes, my love?
01:25:34.063 --> 01:25:37.355
Will you come, slip into my fingers?
01:25:38.063 --> 01:25:41.980
Will you give yourself to me
Until I lose myself tonight?
01:25:42.063 --> 01:25:44.063
Wild little longings…
01:25:46.063 --> 01:25:48.271
Silent passions…
01:25:50.105 --> 01:25:53.938
Wild little longings live in my chest
01:25:54.063 --> 01:25:57.521
Silent passions glow in my eyes
01:25:57.855 --> 01:26:00.730
In this golden hour we meet
01:26:01.813 --> 01:26:04.813
I dissolve in you so sweet
01:26:05.855 --> 01:26:09.063
Like a cloud of quiet desire
01:26:09.771 --> 01:26:13.896
Won't it speak without a fire?
01:26:13.980 --> 01:26:15.980
Will you?
01:26:16.105 --> 01:26:18.021
Wild little longings…
01:26:18.105 --> 01:26:19.980
Look at me?
01:26:20.063 --> 01:26:22.021
Silent passions…
01:26:22.105 --> 01:26:23.938
Come closer?
01:26:24.105 --> 01:26:26.021
Wild little longings…
01:26:26.105 --> 01:26:27.980
Give yourself?
01:26:28.063 --> 01:26:31.521
Silent passions…
01:26:32.105 --> 01:26:33.313
Look at me?
01:26:36.105 --> 01:26:37.896
Look at me, my love
01:26:40.105 --> 01:26:41.355
Give yourself?
01:26:44.063 --> 01:26:47.813
Give yourself, my love
01:26:55.688 --> 01:26:56.563
Hey…
01:26:57.521 --> 01:26:59.980
I feel a poem coming on.
01:27:00.521 --> 01:27:01.438
Can I tell you?
01:27:03.396 --> 01:27:05.313
Every place your touch--
01:27:19.188 --> 01:27:21.980
That was the last day
we were truly happy together.
01:27:23.188 --> 01:27:25.105
Viji went back to studying,
01:27:25.896 --> 01:27:28.605
and I, without a plan,
quit my job.
01:27:29.480 --> 01:27:33.313
#08 LOVE IS HEART OVERSTEPPING BOUNDS
01:27:33.563 --> 01:27:35.855
Hey, stop, stop. Pull over.
01:27:35.938 --> 01:27:37.021
CELEBRATING MINISTER
PUNNIYAKODI'S 52ND BIRTHDAY
01:27:40.188 --> 01:27:41.521
Why are you standing here, Dad?
01:27:41.646 --> 01:27:42.938
At least we're here.
01:27:43.105 --> 01:27:45.771
They didn't even let
an old man onto the street.
01:27:45.980 --> 01:27:46.855
S.M. PUNNIYAKODI
WATER RESOURCES MINISTER
01:27:46.938 --> 01:27:49.355
- Hurry, the minister is here!
- Just a minute.
01:27:50.771 --> 01:27:53.355
- Sir, sir…
- Wait, stop the car.
01:27:53.605 --> 01:27:54.605
Sir, sir…
01:27:54.896 --> 01:27:57.105
Our lake became a dump yard, sir.
01:27:57.188 --> 01:27:58.896
If you please clean it,
we'll somehow survive.
01:27:59.230 --> 01:28:00.980
Only you can help us, sir.
01:28:01.146 --> 01:28:03.438
I can help you clean the lake.
What about the rains?
01:28:03.563 --> 01:28:04.980
I can't help you with that, right?
01:28:05.105 --> 01:28:06.480
For that, you need the Rain God's help.
01:28:06.563 --> 01:28:09.021
We could've voted for
the Rain God instead.
01:28:09.146 --> 01:28:11.438
- Shut your mouth. Go!
- Hey, get going.
01:28:13.730 --> 01:28:16.438
You waited all this time for that?
01:28:16.688 --> 01:28:18.313
I don't trust that man.
01:28:19.188 --> 01:28:21.105
Ask him to call Viji.
01:28:21.605 --> 01:28:24.396
I bought her a sari.
Let's just give it to her and leave.
01:28:24.896 --> 01:28:25.771
Call her, dear.
01:28:25.896 --> 01:28:28.355
She said she'll meet us
at the park nearby.
01:28:28.855 --> 01:28:30.230
We'll wait there.
01:28:30.563 --> 01:28:31.521
Let's go.
01:28:31.938 --> 01:28:33.146
We have to catch the train
on time.
01:28:36.021 --> 01:28:37.521
Why don't you sit on the bench?
01:28:37.896 --> 01:28:39.563
That doesn't suit me.
I will sit here.
01:28:40.105 --> 01:28:42.605
Look, it's pouring like a waterfall.
01:28:42.688 --> 01:28:44.105
We don't have
this kind of water back home.
01:28:44.188 --> 01:28:46.855
It's just the same water recirculating.
01:28:47.063 --> 01:28:50.355
Look at him, acting like
he's never seen water in his life.
01:28:51.438 --> 01:28:52.521
Bye-bye.
01:28:52.688 --> 01:28:53.980
She'll be here, Dad.
01:28:54.605 --> 01:28:57.480
Let her take her time.
Why are you getting so nervous?
01:28:57.813 --> 01:28:59.021
Come, sit here.
01:29:19.271 --> 01:29:21.438
She started it here, too.
01:29:27.105 --> 01:29:28.105
Pick it all up.
01:29:31.355 --> 01:29:33.521
Why is she doing all this
when she's sick?
01:29:34.105 --> 01:29:35.021
Hey!
01:29:35.521 --> 01:29:37.105
You know how she is, right?
01:30:04.438 --> 01:30:06.813
- This color will suit her well, right?
- Correct!
01:30:08.146 --> 01:30:09.980
Listen, we'll be leaving soon.
01:30:10.521 --> 01:30:13.105
Can't you at least
speak a few words to him now?
01:30:14.521 --> 01:30:17.896
- What is it, dear?
- Her phone is switched off, Dad.
01:30:18.563 --> 01:30:20.021
I think something's wrong.
01:30:20.813 --> 01:30:22.605
Should we wait in my room?
01:30:22.896 --> 01:30:24.021
We're already
running late for the train.
01:30:24.105 --> 01:30:26.355
And our people have
already called a thousand times.
01:30:26.438 --> 01:30:28.271
We have to leave now
to catch the train.
01:30:28.730 --> 01:30:29.688
Just a second.
01:30:30.896 --> 01:30:31.771
Here.
01:30:31.855 --> 01:30:34.021
Your mom bought this for her.
01:30:34.605 --> 01:30:35.980
Give it to her yourself.
01:30:36.563 --> 01:30:38.021
- We're leaving.
- Okay.
01:30:38.105 --> 01:30:39.730
- Let's go, dear.
- Should I get you an auto-rickshaw?
01:30:39.813 --> 01:30:40.813
No need, dear.
01:30:41.563 --> 01:30:42.521
Dad…
01:30:55.480 --> 01:30:57.605
What is it, Mom?
Why are you looking at me like that?
01:30:58.313 --> 01:30:59.730
Just looking at the future Collector.
01:31:00.813 --> 01:31:02.563
It's already late. Go to sleep.
01:31:03.188 --> 01:31:05.563
- Alright, good night.
- Good night, Mom.
01:31:29.521 --> 01:31:30.938
WE ARE WAITING AT THE PARK.
COME FAST, VIJI.
01:31:31.021 --> 01:31:32.605
WHERE ARE YOU?
PICK UP THE PHONE, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
01:31:32.688 --> 01:31:34.271
DON'T INSULT ME IN FRONT OF
MY MOM AND DAD. COME FAST.
01:31:34.355 --> 01:31:36.063
IF YOU ARE NOT HERE IN 10 MINUTES,
I'LL BE AT YOUR HOME.
01:31:36.146 --> 01:31:37.980
I'VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM IF YOU'RE TURNING
YOUR PHONE OFF WHEN I CALL, HAVEN'T I?
01:31:38.063 --> 01:31:39.938
YOU GAINED MY TRUST LIKE THIS
AND THEN ENDED UP BETRAYING ME.
01:31:40.021 --> 01:31:41.688
NO MATTER HOW LATE IT GETS,
I'M NOT LEAVING HERE UNTIL YOU SHOW UP.
01:31:41.771 --> 01:31:45.396
AM I IMPORTANT TO YOU,
OR ARE YOUR STUDIES?
01:32:12.063 --> 01:32:15.021
Sorry, sorry! I'm sorry.
01:32:15.438 --> 01:32:16.313
I'm sorry, da.
01:32:17.271 --> 01:32:18.938
I'm really sorry.
01:32:20.896 --> 01:32:22.438
I remembered it as recently as yesterday.
01:32:22.980 --> 01:32:24.188
I don't know how it slipped my mind.
01:32:24.730 --> 01:32:26.521
I'm sorry, sorry.
01:32:27.646 --> 01:32:28.521
I'm sorry.
01:32:31.438 --> 01:32:32.730
Sorry, please.
01:32:36.938 --> 01:32:38.230
Did your mom feel bad?
01:32:41.813 --> 01:32:43.480
You used to call her "aunt,"
01:32:44.105 --> 01:32:46.313
and now you're asking
if "my mom" felt bad.
01:32:47.896 --> 01:32:49.146
How would you even remember?
01:33:05.688 --> 01:33:07.438
Aunt gave this?
01:33:26.980 --> 01:33:28.355
I'm trying to apologize.
01:33:29.521 --> 01:33:30.771
You think I did this on purpose?
01:33:31.146 --> 01:33:32.230
That's how it looks.
01:33:33.188 --> 01:33:34.313
If I did this on purpose,
01:33:34.938 --> 01:33:36.813
would I be here begging you
01:33:37.396 --> 01:33:40.188
with an exam just four hours away?
01:33:41.438 --> 01:33:42.396
Sorry, Sathya!
01:33:43.813 --> 01:33:47.105
The exam is making me
anxious and stressed.
01:33:48.730 --> 01:33:50.646
I've lost track of the day and time.
01:33:52.313 --> 01:33:53.938
Even if today were my birthday,
I would've forgotten.
01:33:54.021 --> 01:33:55.521
I would've remembered, Viji!
01:33:57.271 --> 01:33:58.605
I would've remembered it.
01:34:01.396 --> 01:34:02.271
Right!
01:34:04.146 --> 01:34:05.146
I…
01:34:05.813 --> 01:34:09.521
I don't know how to deal with guys.
01:34:11.605 --> 01:34:12.605
My world…
01:34:12.938 --> 01:34:15.563
It never had a man in it.
01:34:16.146 --> 01:34:19.146
Girls school, girls hostel,
women's college…
01:34:19.438 --> 01:34:20.730
I was always around girls.
01:34:21.896 --> 01:34:24.896
Maybe if I had grown up watching
01:34:25.021 --> 01:34:27.605
my parents talk and communicate…
01:34:29.938 --> 01:34:31.021
I would've known better.
01:34:35.021 --> 01:34:35.896
But…
01:34:36.563 --> 01:34:37.521
my dad…
01:34:38.355 --> 01:34:42.021
left us when I was just a little kid.
01:34:50.230 --> 01:34:51.188
Sorry.
01:34:51.938 --> 01:34:54.271
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
01:34:55.980 --> 01:34:57.980
Don't take this the wrong way, Viji.
01:35:00.105 --> 01:35:01.855
If your mother is anything like you,
01:35:02.771 --> 01:35:05.313
your dad did the right thing
by leaving you two.
01:36:11.813 --> 01:36:14.730
You quit your job, ran your mouth,
01:36:15.355 --> 01:36:16.521
and now you want to drink
in broad daylight?
01:36:17.396 --> 01:36:18.896
Don't do it, it'll destroy you.
01:36:20.438 --> 01:36:22.605
I know this is wrong.
01:36:24.563 --> 01:36:26.605
She asks me to
achieve something in life.
01:36:27.563 --> 01:36:29.646
I'm already 29.
01:36:30.813 --> 01:36:32.605
You've left the job, what's next?
01:36:33.646 --> 01:36:34.896
- I don't know.
- Bro,
01:36:35.230 --> 01:36:39.480
I think someone spooked her
with a failed love story.
01:36:39.896 --> 01:36:41.813
That's why she's scared of love.
What do you think?
01:36:41.896 --> 01:36:45.938
It's you who confused her
with your love story.
01:36:46.063 --> 01:36:48.355
- Get lost.
- Okay, sorry. Leave it.
01:37:07.605 --> 01:37:09.438
If your mother is anything like you,
01:37:09.771 --> 01:37:12.313
your dad did the right thing
by leaving you two.
01:37:19.438 --> 01:37:20.355
Excuse me!
01:37:20.438 --> 01:37:22.521
She doesn't have to love me
the way I love her.
01:37:23.271 --> 01:37:24.855
But she can at least acknowledge my love.
01:37:25.230 --> 01:37:26.355
Yeah, I get it.
01:37:27.313 --> 01:37:29.563
- But look, she--
- I left my job too.
01:37:30.688 --> 01:37:32.855
I don't know what to do next.
01:37:33.355 --> 01:37:38.105
I got furious when she didn't
show up yesterday to meet my mom.
01:37:39.688 --> 01:37:42.521
Maybe I should meet her and say
01:37:42.605 --> 01:37:45.646
I won't disturb her
until her exams are over?
01:37:46.063 --> 01:37:47.063
She has to succeed.
01:37:52.563 --> 01:37:54.813
- It's Viji!
- Hey, look at that smile.
01:38:07.355 --> 01:38:08.313
Take me home.
01:38:19.896 --> 01:38:20.813
Viji?
01:38:23.771 --> 01:38:25.771
Mom has gone to her hometown.
Drop me at the gate.
01:38:32.896 --> 01:38:33.980
Come inside, Sathya.
01:38:41.230 --> 01:38:42.396
Close the door behind you.
01:39:12.521 --> 01:39:13.438
Sorry, dear.
01:39:27.396 --> 01:39:28.438
I love you, Sathya.
01:39:29.063 --> 01:39:30.605
I'm going to hurt
you with my words.
01:39:31.688 --> 01:39:32.563
Bear with me,
01:39:33.105 --> 01:39:34.396
I don't know any other way.
01:39:36.438 --> 01:39:37.313
Just leave, Sathya.
01:39:45.771 --> 01:39:46.938
I've thought this through.
01:39:49.313 --> 01:39:50.313
We should break up.
01:39:52.646 --> 01:39:54.521
I called you home for the first time.
01:39:55.688 --> 01:39:57.855
And you couldn't understand why?
01:39:58.230 --> 01:39:59.605
You just walk in and hug me.
01:40:01.980 --> 01:40:03.021
What are you trying to say, Viji?
01:40:04.021 --> 01:40:06.855
Do you think a girl inviting you over
when she's alone…
01:40:08.480 --> 01:40:10.521
can only mean one thing?
01:40:13.146 --> 01:40:14.188
Is that all you are, Sathya?
01:40:16.313 --> 01:40:18.896
I told you to stop being like this
and stop chasing me.
01:40:19.521 --> 01:40:22.313
I kept pushing you to achieve something,
01:40:22.896 --> 01:40:24.813
and I flunked my exam.
01:40:29.771 --> 01:40:32.021
All the pressure you put on me
over little things
01:40:32.271 --> 01:40:34.813
stressed me out,
and I fainted during the exam.
01:40:35.563 --> 01:40:37.855
They took me to the hospital,
put me on an IV, and sent me home.
01:40:41.813 --> 01:40:44.813
Just like that, a whole year is gone.
01:40:49.271 --> 01:40:51.980
Mom went to the village
to pray to our family deity
01:40:52.438 --> 01:40:54.646
and called to ask how the exam went.
01:40:55.438 --> 01:40:56.896
I acted as I did well.
01:40:56.980 --> 01:40:58.271
I lied to my mom.
01:41:17.396 --> 01:41:18.813
I got a job in Delhi.
01:41:19.396 --> 01:41:20.355
I'm going to work there
01:41:20.521 --> 01:41:21.896
and join IAS coaching.
01:41:23.021 --> 01:41:24.230
I'm taking my mother with me.
01:41:24.980 --> 01:41:26.230
I called you just to tell you this.
01:41:27.646 --> 01:41:29.230
Had I told you on the street,
you'd have started yelling.
01:41:29.938 --> 01:41:30.980
That's why I brought you home.
01:41:36.688 --> 01:41:38.855
I've got nothing left to give you.
01:41:47.230 --> 01:41:53.730
I troubled you a lot just so
I could always stay in your memory.
01:41:54.813 --> 01:41:56.646
But you moved beyond all that, Viji.
01:41:58.438 --> 01:42:00.271
For you to even think of me,
01:42:00.730 --> 01:42:02.271
I'd have to be a chapter in your book
01:42:02.646 --> 01:42:06.355
or a question on an exam.
01:42:12.438 --> 01:42:17.313
You never asked me for anything.
01:42:18.521 --> 01:42:20.355
But I would always bring you something.
01:42:21.730 --> 01:42:23.938
Today, I showed up empty-handed,
01:42:25.438 --> 01:42:27.063
but you asked me for something.
01:42:30.646 --> 01:42:32.355
If this is really what you want…
01:42:36.605 --> 01:42:37.730
then let's just end it, Viji.
01:42:39.146 --> 01:42:40.021
Let's end it!
01:42:47.730 --> 01:42:48.646
Have a good life!
01:43:23.396 --> 01:43:27.563
#09 THE DANCE OF FIRE
01:44:18.855 --> 01:44:19.771
What the hell are you doing?
01:44:19.980 --> 01:44:21.021
Is this even a problem?
01:44:21.146 --> 01:44:23.105
Listen to me, please don't.
01:44:25.646 --> 01:44:27.396
Why the hell did you
beat up a professor?
01:44:27.896 --> 01:44:29.021
You're going to end up in jail.
01:44:29.438 --> 01:44:31.230
He takes inappropriate
photos of girls,
01:44:31.980 --> 01:44:33.480
and I'm just
supposed to let it slide?
01:44:33.646 --> 01:44:35.063
Is that any of your business?
01:44:36.313 --> 01:44:38.355
We've had nothing but trouble
since we moved to Salem.
01:44:38.813 --> 01:44:39.980
There's a new problem every day.
01:44:41.188 --> 01:44:42.813
Why do you care if they
cut down a tree on your street?
01:44:43.730 --> 01:44:45.438
Why do you have to protest
and put up posters?
01:44:46.521 --> 01:44:47.438
Why do you have to file lawsuits, man?
01:44:48.896 --> 01:44:51.021
As if that wasn't enough, you started
Citizen Forum, gathered some guys,
01:44:51.105 --> 01:44:52.563
and now you're pulling weeds,
claiming to clean the lake.
01:44:53.605 --> 01:44:54.563
"Pulling weeds."
01:44:56.021 --> 01:44:56.938
You think this is funny?
01:44:58.438 --> 01:44:59.521
Pulling weeds is easy.
01:44:59.896 --> 01:45:02.355
What are you going to do about that
college built right on top of the lake?
01:45:02.646 --> 01:45:07.313
I'll ask them to return the land
they grabbed to build the college.
01:45:07.396 --> 01:45:09.230
Oh, and they'll just hand it over?
01:45:09.396 --> 01:45:11.188
You think you're the District Collector,
ordering people around?
01:45:12.938 --> 01:45:14.146
I'm not a Collector, man.
01:45:14.896 --> 01:45:15.813
I'm an activist.
01:45:16.146 --> 01:45:17.105
Can I tell you something?
01:45:18.021 --> 01:45:19.188
Your problem isn't with anyone here.
01:45:20.105 --> 01:45:20.980
Then?
01:45:22.271 --> 01:45:23.146
Viji!
01:45:24.688 --> 01:45:25.563
No way.
01:45:25.813 --> 01:45:27.230
I'm telling you, it's Viji.
01:45:27.605 --> 01:45:28.563
No, bro.
01:45:28.813 --> 01:45:31.230
You're lashing out at everyone here
because of her.
01:45:31.605 --> 01:45:32.563
No, that's not it!
01:45:33.105 --> 01:45:35.563
She's the one fueling all this rage.
01:45:35.688 --> 01:45:37.063
Why are you reminding me about her?
01:45:45.188 --> 01:45:46.146
His name is Sathya.
01:45:47.271 --> 01:45:50.563
I told you he's the one
who messed with me at the wedding.
01:45:51.563 --> 01:45:54.313
Today, he came to our college
and had the guts to hit our guy.
01:45:54.730 --> 01:45:58.980
And he's joined the townspeople
in adopting and preserving the lake.
01:45:59.271 --> 01:46:03.146
If he succeeds,
our college will be in serious trouble.
01:46:03.688 --> 01:46:05.146
That's why I wanted to finish him
back then,
01:46:05.813 --> 01:46:07.271
but you shut me down.
01:46:08.480 --> 01:46:10.271
I'm not asking you to stop.
01:46:10.646 --> 01:46:12.021
I'm just asking you to wait.
01:46:13.313 --> 01:46:15.396
I built this empire with no help.
01:46:16.605 --> 01:46:19.480
Even if it's my own son trying to bring
it down, I won't spare him.
01:46:20.521 --> 01:46:22.146
His time will come.
01:46:24.063 --> 01:46:26.521
He said I have no identity,
and that I--
01:46:27.313 --> 01:46:29.188
That I'm just
living off my dad's wealth.
01:46:30.730 --> 01:46:32.896
Now, I'll make sure he has no identity.
01:46:33.938 --> 01:46:36.230
- Give this file to Udhayashankar.
- Okay, sir.
01:46:37.355 --> 01:46:38.313
The Collector is calling you.
01:46:40.688 --> 01:46:41.563
Not everyone.
01:46:42.021 --> 01:46:42.896
Just you.
01:46:46.480 --> 01:46:48.438
All this time, it was your mother
who brought these petitions.
01:46:48.521 --> 01:46:49.730
Now it's you.
01:46:49.813 --> 01:46:50.855
What have you studied?
01:46:50.980 --> 01:46:52.063
B.Sc. Agriculture.
01:46:52.271 --> 01:46:54.355
Then why not just do farming
01:46:54.438 --> 01:46:56.105
instead of creating
problems with this crowd?
01:46:57.230 --> 01:47:01.146
My parents made me study agriculture
because they wanted me to farm.
01:47:01.855 --> 01:47:05.605
Only after graduating did I realize
that my college is on the lake.
01:47:05.813 --> 01:47:07.855
Ma'am, apparently,
there was a lake in that place.
01:47:08.063 --> 01:47:09.271
"Apparently"?
01:47:11.313 --> 01:47:13.646
I swam in that lake until tenth grade.
01:47:14.230 --> 01:47:17.063
That lake was the lifeline
for all the surrounding villages.
01:47:17.438 --> 01:47:19.938
If you turn the remaining lakes
into dumpsters
01:47:20.063 --> 01:47:21.771
instead of preserving them,
01:47:22.188 --> 01:47:23.271
where will these people go?
01:47:23.521 --> 01:47:25.855
You people are always quick
to blame the government.
01:47:26.105 --> 01:47:27.313
It's become a trend these days.
01:47:27.480 --> 01:47:31.646
How many lakes can the government
preserve with its funding?
01:47:31.730 --> 01:47:33.313
It's everyone's responsibility.
01:47:33.688 --> 01:47:36.605
Cleaning up a lake isn't easy.
01:47:36.980 --> 01:47:38.313
It's a Herculean task.
01:47:40.396 --> 01:47:43.521
- Why don't you try doing it?
- Give me an opportunity.
01:47:52.771 --> 01:47:54.396
We're adopting Aranganeri Lake.
01:47:55.980 --> 01:47:58.105
We are going to dredge it,
preserve it,
01:47:58.438 --> 01:48:00.438
and bring it back to life in six months.
01:48:00.730 --> 01:48:02.063
From now on, it's ours.
01:48:07.646 --> 01:48:08.980
Ever since Viji left,
you lost your composure.
01:48:10.230 --> 01:48:12.146
Why do you want to clean that lake now?
01:48:13.396 --> 01:48:14.980
I'm cleaning myself.
01:48:15.605 --> 01:48:16.605
I'm that lake.
01:48:16.938 --> 01:48:20.605
My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart
01:48:24.313 --> 01:48:28.105
Oh, the arrow that pierced my heart
01:48:32.105 --> 01:48:35.271
My tears have filled an ocean
01:48:35.730 --> 01:48:38.855
I can't blame you
It wouldn't be right
01:48:39.438 --> 01:48:42.855
You're not here
To take me to the shore
01:48:43.146 --> 01:48:46.146
What am I supposed to tell my people?
01:48:46.230 --> 01:48:49.855
The moment you left, I faded away
01:48:49.938 --> 01:48:53.396
- I'm a version of me I never knew
- We're from the same college, bro.
01:48:53.480 --> 01:48:55.688
We heard you're cleaning the lake.
01:48:55.896 --> 01:48:58.230
So we thought we could help out
at least on the weekends.
01:48:58.438 --> 01:48:59.313
I'm Jaanu.
01:48:59.396 --> 01:49:01.021
Oh, my loving arrow
01:49:01.230 --> 01:49:04.605
My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart
01:49:04.688 --> 01:49:08.313
Oh, the arrow that pierced my heart
01:49:08.396 --> 01:49:10.355
- Oh, my loving arrow
- Excuse me?
01:49:10.521 --> 01:49:12.063
Oh. Thank you.
01:49:12.480 --> 01:49:13.438
I'm Varun.
01:49:15.896 --> 01:49:16.855
Viji.
01:49:25.396 --> 01:49:26.396
What's up, Cutout?
01:49:26.521 --> 01:49:29.063
You think you can start farming
by saving this lake?
01:49:29.313 --> 01:49:31.896
Try to save yourself from this lake.
01:49:31.980 --> 01:49:34.855
Once the lake is back to form,
it'll come straight to your college.
01:49:35.063 --> 01:49:36.521
- You!
- Hey!
01:49:50.188 --> 01:49:51.480
We're staying here.
01:50:08.021 --> 01:50:08.980
Okay!
01:50:11.021 --> 01:50:13.271
Your son is back,
just like you wanted.
01:50:13.355 --> 01:50:16.438
He's also trying to save
the lake for you.
01:50:16.855 --> 01:50:18.480
Why don't you talk to him?
01:50:18.771 --> 01:50:20.063
He's not doing this for me.
01:50:20.646 --> 01:50:21.813
Not even for the town.
01:50:22.646 --> 01:50:23.813
He's doing it for that girl.
01:50:24.313 --> 01:50:27.605
Oh, those piercing eyes
01:50:28.021 --> 01:50:31.271
She left me to suffer
01:50:31.730 --> 01:50:35.313
Oh, those piercing eyes
She left me to suffer
01:50:35.438 --> 01:50:38.771
What's happening to me?
I don't feel the same
01:50:39.105 --> 01:50:42.521
I yearn for you
I'm breaking deep inside
01:50:42.813 --> 01:50:46.188
Now I'm moving away
I'm searching for my life
01:50:46.480 --> 01:50:50.105
Like heat in the air
Your memories surround me
01:50:50.188 --> 01:50:53.188
All night long
They whisper your name
01:50:53.271 --> 01:50:56.896
Like a root pushing through the soil
I struggle to break free from you
01:50:56.980 --> 01:51:02.730
Hidden beneath the surface
No eyes can see it
01:51:05.813 --> 01:51:06.771
Where are you all going?
01:51:06.855 --> 01:51:08.938
- We're going to clean our lake.
- Our lake?
01:51:14.938 --> 01:51:17.355
- What's your name?
- V. Vijayalakshmi.
01:51:17.563 --> 01:51:20.813
My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart
01:51:20.980 --> 01:51:22.146
Oh, the arrow that pierced…
01:51:22.230 --> 01:51:24.021
The girl he loved was
also named Vijayalakshmi.
01:51:24.355 --> 01:51:28.188
It was going well. But they split up
due to some misunderstanding.
01:51:28.396 --> 01:51:30.021
Only now is he clear-headed.
He looks happy.
01:51:30.230 --> 01:51:31.313
I want him to come out of it.
01:51:32.646 --> 01:51:36.021
My tears have filled an ocean
01:51:36.313 --> 01:51:39.396
- I can't blame you it wouldn't be right
- Sathya?
01:51:40.021 --> 01:51:43.105
- You're not here to take me to shore
- Just leave, Sathya.
01:51:43.188 --> 01:51:46.688
- What am I supposed to tell my people?
- Sathya! Sathya!
01:51:46.771 --> 01:51:50.438
The moment you left, I faded away
01:51:50.521 --> 01:51:54.313
I'm a version of me I never knew
01:51:54.396 --> 01:51:57.563
My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart
01:51:57.896 --> 01:52:01.396
My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart
01:52:01.896 --> 01:52:08.771
Oh, the arrow that pierced my heart
01:52:10.480 --> 01:52:13.396
I know your love story.
01:52:13.563 --> 01:52:16.355
- Continue, go on.
- What should I say?
01:52:16.896 --> 01:52:18.438
Even if we're successful,
01:52:18.521 --> 01:52:20.980
we can't lean on our own shoulders
01:52:21.146 --> 01:52:23.396
or rest in our own laps.
01:52:23.938 --> 01:52:25.396
My loving sweetheart
01:52:25.480 --> 01:52:27.730
- Damn, he found it's my dialogue!
- My beloved one
01:52:28.188 --> 01:52:31.021
He's still not out of that trauma.
01:52:31.313 --> 01:52:34.730
Getting close to him in the name of love,
I don't think that's a good thing.
01:52:36.105 --> 01:52:40.480
If a girl likes a boy,
it doesn't always mean it's love.
01:53:09.105 --> 01:53:10.688
We've already got this much water
from just this rain.
01:53:11.063 --> 01:53:13.313
At this rate, our college might be
underwater by the next one.
01:53:13.771 --> 01:53:15.021
We have to do something.
01:53:15.230 --> 01:53:16.813
Otherwise, our college will be in trouble.
01:53:24.355 --> 01:53:26.355
Please understand.
Don't do this here.
01:53:26.521 --> 01:53:28.355
A lot of people have worked hard
to clean this lake.
01:53:28.563 --> 01:53:31.021
If you put plaster of Paris in here,
it'll contaminate the water.
01:53:31.105 --> 01:53:32.855
Don't you dare stand against God.
Move!
01:53:32.938 --> 01:53:34.188
Please listen to me.
01:53:34.396 --> 01:53:37.980
If a God demands nature's destruction,
it isn't God, no matter the religion.
01:53:38.313 --> 01:53:40.438
Cutting trees and
sowing seeds won't fix anything.
01:53:40.605 --> 01:53:44.813
You know those black-shirt atheists?
They're that group, man.
01:53:44.896 --> 01:53:47.063
- Fool! His shirt is olive-green.
- Who are you talking to like that?
01:53:47.146 --> 01:53:48.563
- Hey.
- Hey, stop.
01:53:48.646 --> 01:53:50.271
- Hey…
- Hey, mind your tone…
01:53:50.605 --> 01:53:52.271
- Leave me.
- The police are here.
01:53:52.355 --> 01:53:53.646
- Stop it.
- Move!
01:53:57.271 --> 01:53:58.146
Move!
01:53:58.896 --> 01:53:59.813
- Hey.
- Hey!
01:54:03.063 --> 01:54:04.313
How dare you hit a policeman?!
01:54:05.980 --> 01:54:07.396
Come with me!
01:54:10.063 --> 01:54:10.938
Get inside!
01:54:11.188 --> 01:54:12.063
Move!
01:54:21.938 --> 01:54:27.271
Sathya, who ran a Salem-based
social service NGO called Citizen Forum,
01:54:27.355 --> 01:54:31.063
is now accused of scamming people
out of millions of rupees.
01:54:31.146 --> 01:54:36.230
Investigators also say
he sexually harassed college girls
01:54:36.313 --> 01:54:37.771
who volunteered for lake cleanup drives.
01:54:38.021 --> 01:54:42.271
Non-bailable charges
have been filed against Sathya
01:54:42.355 --> 01:54:44.813
for financial fraud and sexual assault,
01:54:44.896 --> 01:54:46.521
and he is being held
at Salem Central Jail.
01:54:49.188 --> 01:54:52.355
Don't stop a beneficial movement
like this out of personal vengeance.
01:54:52.688 --> 01:54:54.105
I know him well.
01:54:54.813 --> 01:54:57.938
The more you try to suppress him,
the stronger he'll get.
01:54:58.480 --> 01:54:59.438
Leave him alone.
01:55:02.730 --> 01:55:05.063
I'm being patient
just because you said so.
01:55:08.563 --> 01:55:12.313
But I'm not responsible if something
happens to him inside that prison.
01:55:22.021 --> 01:55:22.938
What is it?
01:55:23.105 --> 01:55:24.855
You said you had a lot to study.
01:55:25.396 --> 01:55:26.355
You're done already?
01:55:45.105 --> 01:55:46.021
Help me, Mom.
01:55:50.688 --> 01:55:51.646
What's wrong, dear?
01:55:52.021 --> 01:55:54.980
I'm not able to focus, Mom.
01:55:56.105 --> 01:55:57.021
Viji, my child.
01:55:57.605 --> 01:55:58.563
What happened?
01:55:59.146 --> 01:56:00.146
Stop crying and tell me, dear.
01:56:01.563 --> 01:56:03.480
The more I try to distance myself,
01:56:04.855 --> 01:56:07.438
here… there… outside…
01:56:08.188 --> 01:56:10.855
I see him everywhere, Mom.
01:56:11.438 --> 01:56:12.688
I just can't, Mom.
01:56:13.438 --> 01:56:14.646
Who is he?
01:56:21.188 --> 01:56:22.105
Sathya.
01:56:32.938 --> 01:56:34.355
Sir… help.
01:57:12.230 --> 01:57:14.105
What do you think I can do?
01:57:14.646 --> 01:57:15.688
I want my son back.
01:57:33.980 --> 01:57:34.980
You've got two minutes.
01:57:47.105 --> 01:57:48.355
Just leave, Sathya.
01:57:51.146 --> 01:57:52.146
Just leave, Sathya.
01:57:54.938 --> 01:57:56.355
Where will I go, Mom?
01:57:57.646 --> 01:57:58.730
Tell me, where can I even go?
01:58:00.563 --> 01:58:02.271
Does nobody want me?
01:58:05.396 --> 01:58:09.021
How many more times do I have
to be uprooted and planted somewhere else?
01:58:11.396 --> 01:58:15.021
You told Viji not to hesitate
to follow her heart.
01:58:15.855 --> 01:58:17.938
Why didn't you tell your son that?
01:58:19.688 --> 01:58:21.771
Now, I have no identity, Mom.
01:58:25.146 --> 01:58:26.105
Who am I?
01:58:30.646 --> 01:58:32.230
I cleaned that lake
01:58:32.938 --> 01:58:34.188
not because Viji asked me to,
01:58:34.521 --> 01:58:36.813
or just so you'd come talk to me.
01:58:39.396 --> 01:58:40.480
I did it for me!
01:58:41.146 --> 01:58:42.688
It was to prove to myself who I am.
01:58:43.980 --> 01:58:44.896
I found my identity.
01:58:46.313 --> 01:58:47.396
And I won't lose it again.
01:58:48.230 --> 01:58:49.646
Hey, time's up!
01:58:51.521 --> 01:58:52.438
Hurry up.
01:58:52.730 --> 01:58:54.480
They're going to do something
to me tonight.
01:58:55.396 --> 01:58:57.105
I'm ready to face whatever it is.
01:58:58.313 --> 01:58:59.396
But if I die,
01:59:00.271 --> 01:59:02.480
all our efforts will be in vain, Mom.
01:59:03.438 --> 01:59:05.230
There's only one way for me to escape.
01:59:05.980 --> 01:59:07.813
Didn't you hear?
Time's up!
01:59:10.105 --> 01:59:11.605
Every cop here
01:59:12.146 --> 01:59:13.438
has their eyes on you.
01:59:14.355 --> 01:59:15.271
Don't be scared.
01:59:15.730 --> 01:59:16.938
Keep a straight face and don't cry.
01:59:17.771 --> 01:59:19.271
Try to keep smiling, Mom.
01:59:20.105 --> 01:59:21.313
When you go out,
01:59:21.605 --> 01:59:23.438
the media will be waiting with cameras.
01:59:24.146 --> 01:59:25.563
Cry and make a scene in front of them.
01:59:26.771 --> 01:59:28.230
Don't believe anyone here.
01:59:28.855 --> 01:59:30.188
If they see your expression change,
01:59:31.396 --> 01:59:33.105
they'll hurt you too.
01:59:33.771 --> 01:59:34.980
- Go.
- Hey!
01:59:35.271 --> 01:59:36.355
- Keep smiling.
- Let's go.
01:59:36.771 --> 01:59:38.605
Didn't I tell you time's up?
01:59:39.396 --> 01:59:41.355
- Come on! Hey…
- Mom!
01:59:45.146 --> 01:59:46.146
Smile, please.
01:59:50.980 --> 01:59:52.480
- Go out looking the same way, Mom.
- Hey…
02:00:42.563 --> 02:00:43.521
My son…
02:00:43.605 --> 02:00:44.980
My dear son!
02:00:47.605 --> 02:00:49.896
- They are going to kill my son!
- What happened?
02:00:50.021 --> 02:00:52.063
- They'll kill my son! Save my son, please!
- What happened?
02:00:52.188 --> 02:00:53.105
- Tell us!
- What exactly happened between
02:00:53.188 --> 02:00:54.188
- your son and the minister?
- Oh, my dear son!
02:00:54.271 --> 02:00:55.980
Tell me, why are they
trying to kill your son?
02:00:56.105 --> 02:00:57.938
- They framed my son with a false case
- Say it clearly. What happened?
02:00:58.021 --> 02:00:59.688
for helping the town.
02:00:59.813 --> 02:01:01.563
They're going to kill my son!
02:01:01.813 --> 02:01:04.021
- Yes, believe me!
- Why have they arrested your son?
02:01:04.688 --> 02:01:07.896
Public outrage continues to grow
02:01:07.980 --> 02:01:10.230
as students and civilians
protest across the city,
02:01:10.313 --> 02:01:12.813
demanding Sathya's release
after he was arrested on a false case.
02:01:12.896 --> 02:01:15.896
Following an urgent investigation,
Judge Sabarinathan
02:01:15.980 --> 02:01:19.896
voided the land registration tied to the
illegal encroachment on the lake land
02:01:20.021 --> 02:01:26.313
and ordered authorities to demolish
the college within a month.
02:01:26.396 --> 02:01:30.396
The court also ordered
the evacuation of hostel students
02:01:30.563 --> 02:01:32.396
and asked college authorities
to make suitable…
02:01:32.688 --> 02:01:33.605
Fool!
02:01:34.896 --> 02:01:36.521
I disown you as my son!
02:02:07.063 --> 02:02:07.938
I'm…
02:02:08.563 --> 02:02:10.521
- I'm Vijayalakshmi's mom--
- I know.
02:02:10.688 --> 02:02:11.563
Tell me.
02:02:13.646 --> 02:02:15.188
Our family is a big one.
02:02:15.938 --> 02:02:19.896
Everyone in my family
is a well-educated doctor or lawyer.
02:02:21.105 --> 02:02:21.980
Except me.
02:02:22.896 --> 02:02:25.355
After my husband left,
02:02:26.480 --> 02:02:28.688
everyone looked down on me
and ignored me.
02:02:29.146 --> 02:02:31.313
Maybe that's what made me so stubborn.
02:02:32.188 --> 02:02:33.896
I wanted my daughter to do well.
02:02:34.605 --> 02:02:36.480
It's her dream to become
an IAS officer.
02:02:37.771 --> 02:02:38.896
From childhood until now,
02:02:39.521 --> 02:02:41.271
that's been her life.
02:02:42.021 --> 02:02:46.146
For a while,
I even got to see her happy.
02:02:47.438 --> 02:02:50.063
She took care of herself
and enjoyed what she was doing.
02:02:50.563 --> 02:02:51.521
One day, out of nowhere,
02:02:51.688 --> 02:02:53.230
she took me to Delhi with her
02:02:53.646 --> 02:02:55.938
and said that only then
could she become an IAS officer.
02:02:57.521 --> 02:02:58.396
But now…
02:02:59.896 --> 02:03:02.480
she came to me crying,
saying she doesn't want to study anymore
02:03:03.438 --> 02:03:05.896
and is begging me to save her.
02:03:08.688 --> 02:03:10.271
I know how it feels
to leave someone you love.
02:03:12.355 --> 02:03:13.521
I want my daughter back.
02:03:14.230 --> 02:03:15.438
She must do well in the exam.
02:03:16.771 --> 02:03:17.688
Even now,
02:03:18.396 --> 02:03:21.230
I told her I was going to the temple
and came here.
02:03:22.105 --> 02:03:23.021
As a mother,
02:03:23.271 --> 02:03:26.146
I want to do something for my daughter.
02:03:28.438 --> 02:03:29.313
If you can…
02:03:31.021 --> 02:03:33.188
could you please talk to her?
02:03:52.605 --> 02:03:53.521
Auntie…
02:03:54.313 --> 02:03:55.271
Auntie!
02:03:55.896 --> 02:03:56.771
Do you have a minute?
02:03:58.646 --> 02:04:01.230
Please don't take this the wrong way.
02:04:01.396 --> 02:04:02.313
What is it?
02:04:02.938 --> 02:04:06.271
Don't you want to know
if Sathya still loves your daughter?
02:04:07.355 --> 02:04:08.688
That's his personal matter.
02:04:13.355 --> 02:04:14.896
How long have I been in the hospital?
02:04:16.271 --> 02:04:17.980
You've been unconscious for ten days.
02:04:19.063 --> 02:04:20.105
We weren't even allowed to see you.
02:04:20.730 --> 02:04:22.396
A lot of people came
and gave us all kinds of reasons.
02:04:23.355 --> 02:04:25.605
Forget it.
You're doing well now.
02:04:27.313 --> 02:04:28.896
So many things happened
when you were in prison.
02:04:29.021 --> 02:04:31.438
I wonder if your college will
even be there.
02:04:31.771 --> 02:04:33.355
Youngsters look up to you now.
02:04:33.688 --> 02:04:35.313
They created a "Save Sathya"
hashtag in your name,
02:04:35.396 --> 02:04:37.480
and your arrest became
a national sensation.
02:04:38.896 --> 02:04:39.980
All your efforts have paid off.
02:04:40.688 --> 02:04:42.605
I was wondering
why you were doing all this.
02:04:43.230 --> 02:04:44.188
But I understand now.
02:04:44.355 --> 02:04:46.730
Do you know what
our Aranganeri Lake looks like now?
02:04:46.896 --> 02:04:47.771
Stop right there!
02:04:48.521 --> 02:04:49.480
I want to see it!
02:04:50.105 --> 02:04:52.896
Like a prayer flag,
it holds the hopes of this town's people.
02:04:53.063 --> 02:04:54.438
Look, your son is here!
02:04:54.521 --> 02:04:55.605
THIS LAKE WAS RENOVATED BY CITIZEN FORUM
02:05:15.355 --> 02:05:17.855
I used to tease him as
"Cutout" in college.
02:05:18.646 --> 02:05:20.855
Now people have made a cutout of him.
02:05:23.605 --> 02:05:25.146
The answer to "who am I?"
02:05:25.521 --> 02:05:28.646
isn't our name, nationality,
country, mother tongue,
02:05:28.896 --> 02:05:31.355
caste, creed, or color.
02:05:32.146 --> 02:05:34.230
Life is all about
02:05:34.813 --> 02:05:36.188
searching for our real identity.
02:05:54.146 --> 02:05:55.396
As Viji said,
02:05:55.605 --> 02:06:00.355
I now understand the joy
of running toward a goal.
02:06:05.480 --> 02:06:09.438
#10 THE LOVER WHO HEARS HER MAN
CALLED "A WISE MAN"
02:06:19.188 --> 02:06:22.021
Drop him at the park and come here.
02:06:25.896 --> 02:06:26.813
Viji!
02:06:30.980 --> 02:06:31.938
Viji!
02:06:34.230 --> 02:06:35.105
Viji!
02:06:38.438 --> 02:06:39.313
Viji!
02:06:40.438 --> 02:06:42.438
Hey, I've made him sit there.
02:06:42.521 --> 02:06:43.396
Did you find her yet?
02:06:43.688 --> 02:06:44.813
No, I don't know where she is.
02:06:48.021 --> 02:06:49.271
- Bro…
- What?
02:06:49.396 --> 02:06:50.355
I've got an idea.
02:06:57.646 --> 02:06:58.688
Idiyappam!
02:07:00.230 --> 02:07:01.355
Idiyappam!
02:07:02.480 --> 02:07:03.563
Idiyappam!
02:07:05.146 --> 02:07:06.230
Idiyappam!
02:07:07.355 --> 02:07:08.313
Idiyappam!
02:07:08.896 --> 02:07:09.896
Idiyappam!
02:07:11.730 --> 02:07:12.605
Idiyappam!
02:07:12.688 --> 02:07:14.271
Shut up and get lost!
02:07:16.271 --> 02:07:17.188
Viji!
02:07:18.813 --> 02:07:19.730
Viji!
02:07:22.146 --> 02:07:23.021
Viji!
02:07:30.980 --> 02:07:31.980
Viji!
02:07:37.605 --> 02:07:38.480
Viji!
02:07:44.063 --> 02:07:45.021
- Vi--
- Why did you come here?
02:08:11.146 --> 02:08:12.063
Why the hell did you come?
02:08:12.730 --> 02:08:13.605
Tell me.
02:08:14.313 --> 02:08:15.688
- I--
- How did you find me?
02:08:19.105 --> 02:08:20.396
- Come with me.
- Let me go, Sathya.
02:08:20.480 --> 02:08:22.146
- Mom will wake up. Sathya!
- Come, please.
02:08:22.271 --> 02:08:23.271
What do you want now?
02:08:23.438 --> 02:08:24.646
- I'll tell you. Just come.
- Why are you doing this?
02:08:24.855 --> 02:08:26.271
Didn't we already break up?
02:08:26.563 --> 02:08:27.605
I said let me go, Sathya.
02:08:29.730 --> 02:08:31.313
Can you do me a favor?
02:08:32.105 --> 02:08:32.980
Please!
02:08:35.688 --> 02:08:36.563
What?
02:08:43.688 --> 02:08:44.896
Why did you bring me here?
02:08:45.730 --> 02:08:47.355
Please wait here for two minutes.
02:08:49.605 --> 02:08:50.563
Just two minutes.
02:08:50.771 --> 02:08:52.438
- Wh--
- Don't go anywhere. I'll be back.
02:09:19.355 --> 02:09:20.480
- Who are you?
- Viji…
02:09:21.688 --> 02:09:22.563
Sathya…
02:09:23.480 --> 02:09:24.355
Sathya?
02:09:25.480 --> 02:09:26.355
Viji.
02:09:27.230 --> 02:09:30.021
- Who are you?
- Ever since I got to know her,
02:09:30.480 --> 02:09:32.730
she has always wanted to see her dad,
02:09:32.980 --> 02:09:35.230
who left her when she was a little kid.
02:09:35.521 --> 02:09:37.271
After I adopted our lake,
02:09:37.480 --> 02:09:40.646
I met a lot of big shots
asking for donations.
02:09:40.896 --> 02:09:45.188
One such person from Malaysia
was Kurunila Kathiravan.
02:09:59.480 --> 02:10:00.438
You are…
02:10:01.313 --> 02:10:03.188
Kurunila Kathiravan.
02:10:03.813 --> 02:10:06.646
That was a Tamil name in Malaysia,
so I asked around
02:10:07.063 --> 02:10:08.813
and found out he's Viji's dad.
02:10:09.188 --> 02:10:10.355
You're my daughter!
02:10:12.688 --> 02:10:13.563
Dad…
02:10:15.438 --> 02:10:16.313
Dad?
02:10:19.688 --> 02:10:20.730
Forgive me, dear.
02:10:50.480 --> 02:10:51.355
Viji…
02:10:53.605 --> 02:10:54.480
Dad…
02:10:54.563 --> 02:10:56.396
After moving from India to Malaysia,
02:10:56.605 --> 02:10:58.105
he started an export business
and opened hotels there.
02:10:58.188 --> 02:10:59.563
Now he's fully settled there, mate.
02:11:00.771 --> 02:11:03.855
He's even produced a couple of movies.
02:11:07.271 --> 02:11:10.230
He kept calling to ask
if I had seen his daughter.
02:11:11.271 --> 02:11:12.355
I called him here today,
02:11:13.313 --> 02:11:14.271
and here he is.
02:11:29.688 --> 02:11:31.980
Do you always have to
bring something?
02:11:35.063 --> 02:11:36.021
Don't smile.
02:11:37.188 --> 02:11:39.188
It was your wish to see
and talk to your dad
02:11:39.271 --> 02:11:40.896
at least once in your life.
02:11:41.938 --> 02:11:42.938
That's why I brought him here.
02:11:44.396 --> 02:11:45.313
Thanks.
02:11:45.813 --> 02:11:48.480
Your mom visited me at the hospital, Viji.
02:11:50.438 --> 02:11:52.563
She said you didn't want to
write the exam.
02:11:57.521 --> 02:11:58.980
Does she know about Dad?
02:12:00.605 --> 02:12:01.480
Let it be that way.
02:12:02.896 --> 02:12:04.355
She's still upset with him.
02:12:08.438 --> 02:12:09.980
I honestly don't even know
if he's really Viji's father
02:12:10.063 --> 02:12:12.980
or if he just brought in some random guy
wearing a coat and suit.
02:12:14.438 --> 02:12:17.146
All your decisions, including
breaking up with me, were right.
02:12:20.188 --> 02:12:22.271
But this one isn't, Viji.
02:12:24.896 --> 02:12:27.813
I realized why you left me
only after you did.
02:12:29.063 --> 02:12:30.688
And I deserved that pain.
02:12:31.646 --> 02:12:34.688
I didn't have anyone around
02:12:35.605 --> 02:12:41.105
to teach me what to do,
where to go, and what to learn.
02:12:43.063 --> 02:12:44.646
I'm a first-generation graduate.
02:12:46.230 --> 02:12:50.646
No one before me
even stepped into college.
02:12:51.188 --> 02:12:53.813
I spent half my life figuring out
02:12:54.355 --> 02:12:57.313
what I like and what comes easily to me.
02:12:58.646 --> 02:13:00.813
Settling down in my 30s
felt like a distant dream.
02:13:01.480 --> 02:13:05.146
People like me
only wake up when we're 29.
02:13:06.313 --> 02:13:07.938
Until then, we work,
make some money,
02:13:09.063 --> 02:13:11.105
and that's it.
02:13:13.396 --> 02:13:14.855
But you are different.
02:13:15.771 --> 02:13:17.771
You're very clear about what you want.
02:13:19.771 --> 02:13:21.105
Your mother raised you well…
02:13:22.855 --> 02:13:24.646
without your father
02:13:25.605 --> 02:13:27.646
or relatives to support her.
02:13:30.230 --> 02:13:31.605
She came all the way
there to meet me.
02:13:36.730 --> 02:13:38.688
Win this for her sake, Viji.
02:13:41.730 --> 02:13:44.021
Her only dream is
to see you become a Collector.
02:13:46.730 --> 02:13:48.438
Write the exams, Viji.
02:13:51.438 --> 02:13:52.396
Will you?
02:13:54.771 --> 02:13:55.646
Please.
02:14:06.438 --> 02:14:07.313
Hey.
02:14:08.521 --> 02:14:10.480
- What do you do?
- Me?
02:14:11.438 --> 02:14:12.980
I wanted to be a film director.
02:14:13.730 --> 02:14:14.938
Now I don't even think about it.
02:14:16.688 --> 02:14:17.938
Do you have a story?
02:14:19.063 --> 02:14:20.980
Sir, of course!
02:14:21.438 --> 02:14:23.980
It's called It's All Because of Her.
Want a one-liner?
02:14:25.480 --> 02:14:26.355
Go ahead.
02:14:27.063 --> 02:14:29.021
It opens with…
a round of applause.
02:14:43.021 --> 02:14:45.605
We're all a collection of stories.
02:14:46.063 --> 02:14:48.105
Some stories make us laugh out loud.
02:14:48.230 --> 02:14:50.021
Some make us cry.
02:14:50.396 --> 02:14:53.771
And some inspire us
and lift our spirits.
02:14:54.313 --> 02:14:55.980
Aranganeri is one such story.
02:15:01.355 --> 02:15:03.188
For you to even think of me,
02:15:03.730 --> 02:15:05.355
I'd have to be a chapter in your book
02:15:05.730 --> 02:15:09.730
or a question on an exam.
02:15:40.813 --> 02:15:41.688
Sathya?
02:15:43.605 --> 02:15:44.563
This is it.
02:15:46.105 --> 02:15:47.521
All this drama just for this.
02:15:49.896 --> 02:15:54.605
You can call me your moon,
your sky, your cloud,
02:15:54.938 --> 02:15:56.355
or whatever fond names you like.
02:15:57.396 --> 02:15:59.146
In the end, I'm just a girl.
02:16:00.355 --> 02:16:04.146
I call you my fire, my raging bull,
my lion, and all that, too.
02:16:05.771 --> 02:16:07.188
But you're not that.
02:16:09.605 --> 02:16:10.563
You're a man.
02:16:10.938 --> 02:16:11.813
That's all.
02:16:11.896 --> 02:16:13.188
But this world
02:16:14.313 --> 02:16:16.563
has romanticized everything,
02:16:17.063 --> 02:16:19.021
like boys and girls
and all these small things.
02:16:19.938 --> 02:16:23.771
It stopped us from thinking
about the bigger things in our lives.
02:16:24.313 --> 02:16:26.188
Remember in school,
02:16:26.938 --> 02:16:30.021
we used to draw a heart
in science class?
02:16:34.188 --> 02:16:35.521
It was hard to draw that heart.
02:16:36.938 --> 02:16:37.896
But that's the reality.
02:16:38.771 --> 02:16:40.646
Have you seen the ones lovers draw?
02:16:41.230 --> 02:16:42.105
The ones…
02:16:42.521 --> 02:16:43.813
in greeting cards?
02:16:44.438 --> 02:16:45.438
Those are easy to draw…
02:16:47.146 --> 02:16:48.188
because they're fantasy.
02:16:49.355 --> 02:16:50.980
Come out of your fantasy, Sathya.
02:16:53.355 --> 02:16:54.771
You're 29 now.
02:16:55.396 --> 02:16:57.105
Your desires and ambitions…
02:16:58.646 --> 02:16:59.771
shouldn't stop with me.
02:17:00.563 --> 02:17:03.396
You should become something big,
02:17:04.730 --> 02:17:08.188
and I'll stand beside you,
proud as your woman.
02:17:11.563 --> 02:17:12.438
Hey…
02:17:12.938 --> 02:17:15.021
I feel a poem coming on.
02:17:16.521 --> 02:17:17.438
Can I tell you?
