<i>Every human in this world</i>
<i>has their own problems.</i>

00:01:16.230 --> 00:01:17.271 align:center
<i>I'm no different.</i>

00:01:17.646 --> 00:01:19.563 align:center
<i>But the most important problem</i>
<i>I have is…</i>

00:01:20.271 --> 00:01:23.146 align:center
<i>an identity crisis.</i>

00:01:23.813 --> 00:01:24.688 align:center
<i>Who am I?</i>

00:01:25.021 --> 00:01:26.063 align:center
<i>What is my identity?</i>

00:01:26.646 --> 00:01:29.230 align:center
You belong to our caste.
That's your identity!

00:01:29.313 --> 00:01:31.730 align:center
I heard men from other castes
are going after our women.

00:01:31.813 --> 00:01:32.688 align:center
Let's go burn their house down.

00:01:32.771 --> 00:01:35.146 align:center
Even I check out women
from other castes.

00:01:35.938 --> 00:01:38.313 align:center
We're Indians, dude.
That's our identity.

00:01:38.396 --> 00:01:40.771 align:center
The neighborhood guys are doing a
snake dance to celebrate Bangladesh's win.

00:01:40.855 --> 00:01:41.813 align:center
Let's go ask them.

00:01:41.896 --> 00:01:43.855 align:center
Even I celebrate my sixes
with a snake dance!

00:01:44.980 --> 00:01:46.771 align:center
Our religion is our identity, son!

00:01:46.855 --> 00:01:50.021 align:center
I heard a group near the hillside
is converting people to another religion.

00:01:50.230 --> 00:01:52.146 align:center
Come on, we'll give them hell.

00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:54.021 align:center
If my slippers go missing again,

00:01:54.146 --> 00:01:56.355 align:center
- I'm quitting temple visits altogether.
- Oh, God!

00:01:56.646 --> 00:01:58.230 align:center
We're all brave men, son.

00:01:58.313 --> 00:01:59.521 align:center
And that's our identity.

00:01:59.605 --> 00:02:03.021 align:center
Our college-going girls
aren't wearing <i>dupattas.</i>

00:02:03.146 --> 00:02:04.188 align:center
Come, we'll warn them.

00:02:04.313 --> 00:02:06.605 align:center
I wear low-rise pants,
so my underwear shows.

00:02:08.313 --> 00:02:11.480 align:center
<i>In my hometown, people tried to</i>
<i>impose their own identity on me.</i>

00:02:11.646 --> 00:02:13.355 align:center
<i>So I moved to Chennai from Salem.</i>

00:02:18.730 --> 00:02:20.271 align:center
- Good morning, man!
- Morning.

00:02:22.230 --> 00:02:24.771 align:center
<i>After high school,</i>
<i>I wanted to study engineering.</i>

00:02:30.521 --> 00:02:33.146 align:center
<i>But my mom made me study agriculture</i>
<i>so I'd stay in farming.</i>

00:02:35.021 --> 00:02:37.396 align:center
<i>By the time I graduated,</i>

00:02:37.605 --> 00:02:39.813 align:center
<i>farming was no longer possible</i>
<i>because of the drought.</i>

00:02:40.396 --> 00:02:42.105 align:center
<i>So, Dad became a wall painter,</i>

00:02:42.563 --> 00:02:44.313 align:center
<i>and Mom worked under</i>
<i>the 100-day employment scheme.</i>

00:02:45.355 --> 00:02:47.855 align:center
- Don't cut down trees!
- Move, please.

00:02:47.938 --> 00:02:51.355 align:center
<i>With the help of people from our town,</i>
<i>she planted 2,000 saplings.</i>

00:02:51.521 --> 00:02:53.480 align:center
<i>Now imagine telling her</i>
<i>to cut those trees down</i>

00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:56.230 align:center
<i>to build a road into town.</i>
<i>Do you think she'll stay quiet?</i>

00:02:56.313 --> 00:02:59.146 align:center
If you keep protesting,
your town's never getting a road.

00:02:59.396 --> 00:03:00.896 align:center
He's got a point, too.

00:03:00.980 --> 00:03:03.313 align:center
Either build the road without cutting
down the trees, or get out of here!

00:03:03.605 --> 00:03:05.813 align:center
People shouldn't try to fix things
without knowing the town's issues.

00:03:05.896 --> 00:03:07.188 align:center
- Out of my way!
- Sir, it's fine.

00:03:07.813 --> 00:03:08.813 align:center
Don't build the road.

00:03:09.146 --> 00:03:10.855 align:center
That's how educated people
end up leaving this town

00:03:11.063 --> 00:03:12.438 align:center
just to make a living somewhere else.

00:03:13.563 --> 00:03:15.688 align:center
That temper proves
he's from our caste.

00:03:18.896 --> 00:03:21.771 align:center
<i>Even when she was sick, Mom worked</i>
<i>in the fields and fainted often.</i>

00:03:22.230 --> 00:03:24.980 align:center
<i>Even as things got harder,</i>
<i>she was stubborn about farming.</i>

00:03:25.188 --> 00:03:26.646 align:center
<i>She forced me down her path,</i>

00:03:27.146 --> 00:03:29.355 align:center
<i>so I gave up farming</i>
<i>and came here for work.</i>

00:03:30.271 --> 00:03:31.980 align:center
<i>Despite having</i>
<i>a degree in agriculture,</i>

00:03:32.063 --> 00:03:34.063 align:center
<i>it's the course I signed up for</i>
<i>during an Aadi offer</i>

00:03:34.188 --> 00:03:35.605 align:center
<i>that's helping me</i>
<i>make a living in Chennai.</i>

00:03:35.980 --> 00:03:38.438 align:center
<i>For the past four years, it's been</i>
<i>the same company, the same desk,</i>

00:03:38.855 --> 00:03:39.813 align:center
<i>the same job…</i>

00:03:42.146 --> 00:03:44.230 align:center
<i>and I'm still searching for my identity.</i>

00:03:45.396 --> 00:03:46.480 align:center
<i>My name is Sathya.</i>

00:03:47.688 --> 00:03:48.605 align:center
<i>And my age is…</i>

00:04:05.563 --> 00:04:06.438 align:center
Bro, get out!

00:04:06.521 --> 00:04:07.730 align:center
How long are you gonna be in there?

00:04:12.230 --> 00:04:13.438 align:center
- Why do you keep knocking?!
- Can't you hurry up?

00:04:13.521 --> 00:04:14.563 align:center
- He does that all the time.
- What is it?

00:04:14.646 --> 00:04:15.646 align:center
- I'll finish you!
- Go!

00:04:15.730 --> 00:04:17.813 align:center
<i>I've stayed in the same mansion</i>
<i>since I came to Chennai.</i>

00:04:18.438 --> 00:04:20.980 align:center
<i>There's hardly any difference between</i>
<i>Chennai and this mansion.</i>

00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:23.980 align:center
<i>It's always crowded,</i>
<i>long queues, water scarcity,</i>

00:04:24.063 --> 00:04:27.480 align:center
<i>- fans fighting over Thala and Thalapathy!</i>
- Hey! I'm a fan of Prashanth!

00:04:27.896 --> 00:04:29.938 align:center
<i>My actors, Bobby, Vijay,</i>

00:04:30.021 --> 00:04:31.271 align:center
<i>and my music director…</i>

00:04:31.688 --> 00:04:33.605 align:center
<i>Meet Mani from Madurai.</i>

00:04:33.771 --> 00:04:36.480 align:center
<i>He spent ten years chasing</i>
<i>his dream of becoming a director,</i>

00:04:36.563 --> 00:04:37.438 align:center
<i>only to crash and burn in love.</i>

00:04:37.521 --> 00:04:39.021 align:center
I have a story called
<i>It's All Because of Her.</i>

00:04:39.105 --> 00:04:39.980 align:center
Want to hear it?

00:04:40.313 --> 00:04:41.188 align:center
Go on.

00:04:41.646 --> 00:04:42.521 align:center
It opens with…

00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:43.605 align:center
It opens with…

00:04:44.021 --> 00:04:44.896 align:center
It opens with…

00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:49.271 align:center
<i>This is Vasanth from Tirunelveli.</i>

00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.355 align:center
<i>He can even sell junk to earn money.</i>

00:04:52.938 --> 00:04:54.021 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

00:04:54.188 --> 00:04:55.063 align:center
Thanks, son.

00:04:55.146 --> 00:04:58.438 align:center
<i>Since Mani had no income and</i>
<i>wanted to make it big in cinema,</i>

00:04:58.521 --> 00:05:00.563 align:center
<i>the girl he loved broke up with him.</i>

00:05:00.688 --> 00:05:02.355 align:center
My girl's a religious one, buddy.

00:05:02.813 --> 00:05:04.271 align:center
You can always find her
in temples.

00:05:04.563 --> 00:05:06.271 align:center
- But we're different, you know?
- Yeah.

00:05:06.355 --> 00:05:07.230 align:center
We're Periyarists.

00:05:08.230 --> 00:05:11.521 align:center
Cut to scene. We're in front
of her mother confessing our love.

00:05:11.896 --> 00:05:14.480 align:center
Her mother looks me
up and down.

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:18.271 align:center
The camera slowly zooms in on her…

00:05:18.730 --> 00:05:21.563 align:center
And then she says,
"We don't eat garlic, son."

00:05:22.688 --> 00:05:24.355 align:center
That was it. I was done!

00:05:24.730 --> 00:05:26.230 align:center
What do garlic and love
have to do with each other?

00:05:26.313 --> 00:05:27.271 align:center
Don't you get it, idiot?

00:05:27.563 --> 00:05:30.396 align:center
If they don't eat garlic,
they won't eat onions either.

00:05:30.563 --> 00:05:32.021 align:center
So I said, "Get lost, onions!"
and walked away!

00:05:32.271 --> 00:05:33.855 align:center
<i>Every night,</i>
<i>over a free drink,</i>

00:05:33.938 --> 00:05:36.438 align:center
<i>he keeps retelling his failed love story,</i>
<i>irritating everyone.</i>

00:05:36.896 --> 00:05:37.855 align:center
<i>This is a kind of love.</i>

00:05:38.105 --> 00:05:40.688 align:center
<i>Baby, you said you've got</i>
<i>a surprise for me?</i>

00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:41.855 align:center
<i>What is it?</i>

00:05:44.355 --> 00:05:46.480 align:center
What's this?
You've got an amazing tattoo.

00:05:46.563 --> 00:05:48.105 align:center
Remember, Naveen?

00:05:48.355 --> 00:05:50.230 align:center
He just finished
his tattoo course.

00:05:50.313 --> 00:05:51.938 align:center
<i>Vasanth's been talking</i>
<i>to a girl from Bangalore</i>

00:05:52.021 --> 00:05:53.938 align:center
<i>whom he met through a wrong number.</i>

00:05:54.188 --> 00:05:55.480 align:center
<i>Now he's forgotten his Tirunelveli Tamil</i>

00:05:55.563 --> 00:05:57.355 align:center
<i>- and speaks fluent Bangalore Tamil.</i>
- Yes!

00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.646 align:center
- Exactly.
<i>- His only goal is to</i>

00:05:58.730 --> 00:06:00.313 align:center
<i>find a job in Bangalore.</i>

00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:02.563 align:center
But he made sure
I was poked right!

00:06:03.146 --> 00:06:04.896 align:center
Didn't the poking hurt, baby?

00:06:05.021 --> 00:06:05.896 align:center
<i>This is another kind of love.</i>

00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:10.396 align:center
<i>I will gut your heart out</i>
<i>like a goat!</i>

00:06:10.771 --> 00:06:14.646 align:center
<i>Even if you slit me</i>
<i>and throw my heart away,</i>

00:06:15.313 --> 00:06:18.063 align:center
<i>it'll still say, "I love Chimbu!"</i>

00:06:18.605 --> 00:06:19.938 align:center
<i>"I love Chimbu!"</i>

00:06:20.313 --> 00:06:21.771 align:center
<i>"I love Chimbu!"</i>

00:06:22.605 --> 00:06:23.730 align:center
<i>This too is love!</i>

00:06:23.855 --> 00:06:26.438 align:center
<i>Everyone has their own love story.</i>

00:06:26.688 --> 00:06:27.605 align:center
<i>But me?</i>

00:06:27.896 --> 00:06:30.771 align:center
<i>No girl's ever stopped me for a ride</i>

00:06:31.105 --> 00:06:32.355 align:center
<i>or to ask for directions.</i>

00:06:33.105 --> 00:06:35.146 align:center
<i>The only thing I've heard them</i>
<i>tell me is…</i>

00:06:35.230 --> 00:06:36.105 align:center
Excuse me?

00:06:37.146 --> 00:06:38.188 align:center
<i>"Excuse me."</i>

00:06:41.771 --> 00:06:44.271 align:center
<i>I lived a life I hated and despised.</i>

00:06:45.021 --> 00:06:46.396 align:center
<i>Then one day,</i>

00:06:46.855 --> 00:06:48.771 align:center
<i>a girl walked in and made it</i>
<i>worth loving and cherishing.</i>

00:07:00.396 --> 00:07:03.271 align:center
#01 YOU, ME,
THE RAIN, AND AN UMBRELLA.

00:07:38.855 --> 00:07:41.688 align:center
<i>I still remember when</i>
<i>I first met Viji.</i>

00:07:42.563 --> 00:07:44.188 align:center
You didn't come in yesterday?

00:07:44.271 --> 00:07:45.688 align:center
Yeah, I went to my friend's wedding.

00:07:46.105 --> 00:07:47.313 align:center
The older we get,

00:07:47.646 --> 00:07:50.355 align:center
the more wedding invites we get,
and it's frustrating.

00:07:52.771 --> 00:07:53.646 align:center
Excuse me.

00:08:14.188 --> 00:08:16.521 align:center
<i>She was writing down the name</i>

00:08:16.813 --> 00:08:17.896 align:center
<i>I would whisper until my last breath.</i>

00:08:23.605 --> 00:08:25.021 align:center
- You first.
- No, it's alright.

00:08:25.271 --> 00:08:26.771 align:center
- It's fine.
- I insist.

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:44.438 align:center
She mistook me.

00:08:45.146 --> 00:08:46.730 align:center
She took me the wrong way.

00:08:47.646 --> 00:08:49.480 align:center
She took me the wrong way!

00:08:50.646 --> 00:08:51.563 align:center
Did she?

00:08:52.021 --> 00:08:54.105 align:center
She read it all wrong.
Dang it!

00:08:56.521 --> 00:08:57.438 align:center
What's wrong?

00:08:59.521 --> 00:09:00.396 align:center
Anyway…

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.313 align:center
You didn't turn up yesterday, right?

00:09:02.646 --> 00:09:04.313 align:center
We got a new trainee.

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:05.771 align:center
She was gorgeous!

00:09:07.646 --> 00:09:09.313 align:center
Her name's Viji!

00:09:09.521 --> 00:09:10.688 align:center
She must be around…

00:09:11.188 --> 00:09:12.480 align:center
twenty-something…

00:09:15.605 --> 00:09:16.480 align:center
Sorry.

00:09:16.813 --> 00:09:18.355 align:center
I didn't mean to do it.

00:09:19.230 --> 00:09:20.355 align:center
It was just an instinct.

00:09:21.021 --> 00:09:22.021 align:center
What do you mean?

00:09:22.688 --> 00:09:23.771 align:center
I don't understand.

00:09:26.605 --> 00:09:27.480 align:center
It's okay.

00:09:27.813 --> 00:09:28.855 align:center
I misunderstood you.

00:09:30.605 --> 00:09:32.063 align:center
I'm Vijayalakshmi.
You can call me Viji.

00:09:32.146 --> 00:09:33.605 align:center
I'm Sathya.
You can call me--

00:09:33.688 --> 00:09:34.563 align:center
Call him bro, then.

00:09:40.021 --> 00:09:41.480 align:center
You can call me
whatever you like.

00:09:45.271 --> 00:09:48.313 align:center
<i>We've become so close that</i>
<i>she calls me </i>"da."

00:09:55.730 --> 00:09:57.396 align:center
<i>Despite being close,</i>

00:09:57.896 --> 00:09:59.521 align:center
<i>some bonds just don't turn into love.</i>

00:10:00.438 --> 00:10:02.355 align:center
<i>I didn't want ours</i>
<i>to suffer the same fate,</i>

00:10:02.605 --> 00:10:04.313 align:center
<i>so I'm pulling every trick I've got.</i>

00:10:10.688 --> 00:10:12.688 align:center
<i>Like snow that fell on spider webs,</i>

00:10:13.105 --> 00:10:15.230 align:center
<i>her face was filled with</i>
<i>tiny raindrops.</i>

00:10:15.646 --> 00:10:17.730 align:center
<i>Her lips are like</i>
<i>an inverted Thirukkural.</i>

00:10:18.605 --> 00:10:21.646 align:center
<i>The lower line is slightly bigger</i>
<i>than the upper one.</i>

00:10:48.688 --> 00:10:50.771 align:center
<i>For guys like me,</i>
<i>getting down on one knee</i>

00:10:50.855 --> 00:10:52.730 align:center
<i>and proposing won't do the trick.</i>

00:10:52.896 --> 00:10:55.021 align:center
<i>But on a softly scented night,</i>

00:10:55.105 --> 00:10:59.188 align:center
<i>with a chill in the air,</i>
<i>maybe we'd get a yes.</i>

00:11:00.105 --> 00:11:00.980 align:center
Viji?

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:05.271 align:center
I've been meaning
to tell you something…

00:11:06.188 --> 00:11:07.105 align:center
What is it?

00:11:07.688 --> 00:11:10.063 align:center
<i>Just as I was about to</i>
<i>express my love,</i>

00:11:10.313 --> 00:11:12.438 align:center
<i>the open sewer</i>
<i>turned my night sour!</i>

00:11:32.021 --> 00:11:33.896 align:center
- I'll get going. Tanu's here.
- Okay.

00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:35.563 align:center
I'll be back on Sunday. Okay?

00:11:35.896 --> 00:11:37.396 align:center
- Get home safe.
- Alright.

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:39.896 align:center
Bye!

00:11:48.688 --> 00:11:50.396 align:center
Did she just text you a "K"?

00:11:50.896 --> 00:11:51.771 align:center
Yep.

00:11:51.855 --> 00:11:53.646 align:center
She could send you 100 free messages.

00:11:53.855 --> 00:11:55.771 align:center
But still, she replied
with a single letter.

00:11:56.188 --> 00:11:57.605 align:center
She's definitely in love with you, man.

00:11:57.688 --> 00:11:59.271 align:center
No one asked for your advice.

00:11:59.771 --> 00:12:01.688 align:center
Flirt with your girl instead.

00:12:02.105 --> 00:12:03.063 align:center
I can't.

00:12:03.396 --> 00:12:04.271 align:center
Why not?

00:12:04.355 --> 00:12:05.355 align:center
She'll get caught if I call her.

00:12:05.605 --> 00:12:07.480 align:center
Her cousin's in town, it seems.

00:12:07.771 --> 00:12:09.605 align:center
So she's showing him around Bangalore.

00:12:10.771 --> 00:12:12.396 align:center
She posted about it on Orkut, too.

00:12:12.688 --> 00:12:13.563 align:center
Look!

00:12:15.146 --> 00:12:16.271 align:center
Isn't she scrumptious?

00:12:16.896 --> 00:12:19.646 align:center
Look how she's showing him… the city!

00:12:20.146 --> 00:12:21.105 align:center
That's her cousin?

00:12:21.438 --> 00:12:22.313 align:center
Yeah!

00:12:22.396 --> 00:12:23.521 align:center
He's from Delhi, apparently.

00:12:36.355 --> 00:12:38.230 align:center
Hey, Cutout!

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:39.855 align:center
Santhosh?!

00:12:40.605 --> 00:12:41.480 align:center
Is that you?

00:12:41.896 --> 00:12:42.855 align:center
Not bad.

00:12:43.355 --> 00:12:44.521 align:center
Talking without the <i>"da"</i> now?

00:12:45.146 --> 00:12:46.646 align:center
You still haven't
forgotten the past, have you?

00:12:50.438 --> 00:12:51.396 align:center
Alright, serve me.

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.271 align:center
- Congratulations!
- Okay, okay.

00:13:00.813 --> 00:13:02.521 align:center
Bring me some water, Sathya!

00:13:07.188 --> 00:13:08.146 align:center
So…

00:13:08.521 --> 00:13:10.771 align:center
you fell at my feet
in front of your parents that day

00:13:10.855 --> 00:13:11.771 align:center
to pick up leftover leaf plates?

00:13:13.438 --> 00:13:16.313 align:center
I work in the accounts department
in a company called Step Up.

00:13:17.063 --> 00:13:18.313 align:center
This is just a part-time job.

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:20.396 align:center
Are you married?

00:13:20.813 --> 00:13:21.813 align:center
I don't have plans for it now.

00:13:22.521 --> 00:13:23.980 align:center
But I'm an eligible bachelor.

00:13:24.105 --> 00:13:25.021 align:center
A bachelor?

00:13:25.396 --> 00:13:26.646 align:center
So you're unmarried.

00:13:27.855 --> 00:13:29.355 align:center
You were the oldest in our class, right?

00:13:29.605 --> 00:13:31.688 align:center
You must be… 30-something, right?

00:13:32.063 --> 00:13:32.938 align:center
I'm 29.

00:13:33.563 --> 00:13:34.855 align:center
One year doesn't make
much of a difference.

00:13:36.188 --> 00:13:38.813 align:center
There's only a one-year difference
between 28 and 29.

00:13:39.396 --> 00:13:41.396 align:center
But between 29 and 30?

00:13:42.521 --> 00:13:43.813 align:center
There's a huge difference, dude.

00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:46.605 align:center
Okay, whatever.

00:13:55.730 --> 00:13:57.521 align:center
<i>He was my classmate in college.</i>

00:13:58.021 --> 00:14:00.021 align:center
<i>Just because his father is a politician</i>

00:14:00.313 --> 00:14:02.646 align:center
<i>who owns mills, schools, and colleges,</i>

00:14:03.021 --> 00:14:04.855 align:center
<i>he's an arrogant brat</i>
<i>who doesn't respect people.</i>

00:14:05.438 --> 00:14:07.813 align:center
<i>One day, when he talked big,</i>
<i>I thrashed him.</i>

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.355 align:center
<i>The next day, he ran to his father</i>
<i>and demanded</i>

00:14:10.438 --> 00:14:11.896 align:center
<i>- a public apology from me.</i>
- Sathya,

00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:13.271 align:center
why are you scared of him?

00:14:13.688 --> 00:14:15.188 align:center
The entire village is here.

00:14:15.563 --> 00:14:17.938 align:center
You'll be humiliated
if you fall at his feet, son.

00:14:18.730 --> 00:14:19.646 align:center
You…

00:14:20.105 --> 00:14:20.980 align:center
what are you thinking?

00:14:24.313 --> 00:14:25.230 align:center
Sathya!

00:14:25.563 --> 00:14:27.563 align:center
If you fall at his feet now,

00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:29.896 align:center
I swear I'll never speak to you again!

00:14:31.146 --> 00:14:33.771 align:center
<i>Even though Mom told me never to apologize</i>
<i>when I've done nothing wrong,</i>

00:14:34.146 --> 00:14:36.730 align:center
<i>- I fell at his feet to settle the problem.</i>
- Let go of me.

00:14:36.813 --> 00:14:39.396 align:center
<i>Humiliated by that,</i>
<i>my mom stopped talking to me.</i>

00:14:40.313 --> 00:14:43.730 align:center
I thought I would never see him
again in my life.

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:45.938 align:center
But…

00:14:46.188 --> 00:14:47.105 align:center
Sathya, my boy!

00:14:48.605 --> 00:14:49.480 align:center
Come here.

00:14:50.730 --> 00:14:51.771 align:center
What can I get for you?

00:14:52.021 --> 00:14:53.855 align:center
- I'd like some <i>rasam,</i> please.
- Hey.

00:14:54.063 --> 00:14:55.646 align:center
Bring some <i>rasam</i> here.

00:14:57.438 --> 00:14:59.230 align:center
Wait. I'll take it.

00:14:59.605 --> 00:15:00.605 align:center
I said I'll handle it.

00:15:04.105 --> 00:15:05.605 align:center
- What's this?
<i>- Rasam.</i>

00:15:06.313 --> 00:15:07.938 align:center
- I asked for buttermilk.
- You moron.

00:15:08.313 --> 00:15:10.188 align:center
He asked for buttermilk,
and you brought <i>rasam?</i>

00:15:10.271 --> 00:15:11.146 align:center
- Take it away.
- Okay.

00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:12.271 align:center
Hey, where's the
buttermilk bucket?

00:15:12.355 --> 00:15:13.938 align:center
Are you bringing it here,
or should I come there?

00:15:14.438 --> 00:15:16.480 align:center
Hey! Won't "Sir" serve me?

00:15:16.563 --> 00:15:17.605 align:center
- Does it really matter?
- Hold on.

00:15:17.688 --> 00:15:19.605 align:center
- Bro, I'll do it.
- Zip it, will you?

00:15:19.688 --> 00:15:20.605 align:center
- Okay, right!
- I'll go.

00:15:29.438 --> 00:15:31.730 align:center
Who piled so much food
onto the kid's plate?

00:15:31.813 --> 00:15:32.688 align:center
That's enough.

00:15:35.021 --> 00:15:35.896 align:center
Enough, man.

00:15:38.438 --> 00:15:39.355 align:center
That's enough.

00:15:42.521 --> 00:15:43.396 align:center
Hey!

00:15:46.271 --> 00:15:47.605 align:center
Didn't I tell you that's enough?

00:15:49.605 --> 00:15:50.938 align:center
I'm telling you the same.

00:15:51.605 --> 00:15:52.521 align:center
That's enough.

00:15:54.438 --> 00:15:55.355 align:center
What happened, dude?

00:15:55.438 --> 00:15:56.688 align:center
Why are you getting angry?

00:15:56.896 --> 00:15:57.896 align:center
They'll talk this out.

00:15:58.188 --> 00:15:59.896 align:center
Any problem, Santhosh?

00:16:03.521 --> 00:16:04.396 align:center
Go on, eat.

00:16:08.730 --> 00:16:11.480 align:center
What have you even achieved
to act this arrogantly?

00:16:12.855 --> 00:16:14.146 align:center
Was this a love marriage?

00:16:14.896 --> 00:16:16.896 align:center
- Nope.
- I knew it.

00:16:17.896 --> 00:16:19.355 align:center
You've got no identity of your own.

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:23.355 align:center
Your dad set you up with
a comfortable seat beside him

00:16:23.563 --> 00:16:25.563 align:center
and even picked a bride for you.

00:16:26.105 --> 00:16:28.730 align:center
You'll always be
daddy's little boy, won't you?

00:16:30.688 --> 00:16:33.730 align:center
What's so hilarious about
being a bachelor?

00:16:34.188 --> 00:16:36.563 align:center
Feeling proud about getting laid
ahead of us?

00:16:40.396 --> 00:16:42.438 align:center
The minute we turn 30,

00:16:42.938 --> 00:16:44.771 align:center
girls' families reject our horoscopes.

00:16:45.105 --> 00:16:47.230 align:center
Companies reject our job applications.

00:16:47.605 --> 00:16:51.980 align:center
And on top of that,
boomers like him chew our ears off

00:16:52.188 --> 00:16:55.688 align:center
asking, "Why aren't you married yet?"

00:16:56.021 --> 00:17:00.230 align:center
We have to deal with all that,
put our own lives on hold,

00:17:00.688 --> 00:17:02.855 align:center
and work for our families
instead of starting one of our own.

00:17:03.105 --> 00:17:04.438 align:center
Now that's a bachelor!

00:17:05.521 --> 00:17:08.938 align:center
The pain of still being single at 29…

00:17:09.605 --> 00:17:12.855 align:center
Guys like you, living off daddy's money,
wouldn't get it, dude.

00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:21.646 align:center
Long live you two!

00:17:22.230 --> 00:17:23.188 align:center
Come on, guys.

00:17:23.521 --> 00:17:26.688 align:center
TRIPLICANE'S MANORAMA MANSION
TO BE DEMOLISHED

00:17:26.855 --> 00:17:29.063 align:center
Baby, please? Come online, please!

00:17:29.146 --> 00:17:31.396 align:center
I'm begging you. Please? For my sake.

00:17:32.063 --> 00:17:34.605 align:center
<i>Every apartment has</i>
<i>that one little room on the terrace</i>

00:17:34.688 --> 00:17:37.271 align:center
<i>rented out for bachelors like us.</i>

00:17:37.688 --> 00:17:40.980 align:center
<i>The three of us moved into one such room</i>
<i>after the mansion was demolished.</i>

00:17:41.771 --> 00:17:42.646 align:center
Baby!

00:17:44.146 --> 00:17:47.396 align:center
Is this why you were shy…
because you're half-dressed?

00:17:47.688 --> 00:17:49.355 align:center
It's okay, baby.
There's nothing to hide between us.

00:17:49.605 --> 00:17:51.313 align:center
Even in this, you look beautiful.

00:17:53.730 --> 00:17:55.855 align:center
Baby, there's someone behind you.

00:17:57.855 --> 00:17:59.021 align:center
No one's here, darling.

00:17:59.271 --> 00:18:01.355 align:center
There…
Behind your cupboard…

00:18:01.855 --> 00:18:03.813 align:center
That white shorts guy…
Now he ran in!

00:18:03.896 --> 00:18:06.105 align:center
<i>- Shucks!</i>
- Sathya, come here quickly!

00:18:06.813 --> 00:18:08.188 align:center
Hey, what is it?!

00:18:08.771 --> 00:18:10.188 align:center
A thief broke into her room!

00:18:10.396 --> 00:18:13.021 align:center
Bro, she's not fully covered,
but she's covered. Help her, man!

00:18:13.646 --> 00:18:16.105 align:center
Can't you see him?
He's right behind you, baby.

00:18:16.355 --> 00:18:18.230 align:center
This is why I told you to eat carrots.

00:18:18.563 --> 00:18:21.271 align:center
Dude, someone's there
inside her cupboard, right?

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:24.688 align:center
<i>What if it's a ghost?</i>

00:18:24.855 --> 00:18:26.563 align:center
Vasanth, I'm freaking out!

00:18:28.730 --> 00:18:29.855 align:center
Hey! Hey!

00:18:31.438 --> 00:18:32.355 align:center
Baby?

00:18:33.313 --> 00:18:34.188 align:center
Baby!

00:18:34.355 --> 00:18:35.230 align:center
Baby!

00:18:35.730 --> 00:18:36.646 align:center
Baby!

00:18:36.855 --> 00:18:39.230 align:center
You saw that thief, right?

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:40.855 align:center
Baby…

00:18:42.188 --> 00:18:43.105 align:center
Dude,

00:18:43.646 --> 00:18:44.646 align:center
do you really think
he's a thief?

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:46.688 align:center
Of course!
Can't you tell?

00:18:47.355 --> 00:18:48.646 align:center
Don't you dare suspect my girl.

00:18:55.896 --> 00:18:56.771 align:center
God…

00:18:59.813 --> 00:19:02.355 align:center
<i>I got a text from her saying</i>
<i>she was feeling low</i>

00:19:02.563 --> 00:19:03.938 align:center
<i>and didn't want to stay home.</i>

00:19:04.230 --> 00:19:05.855 align:center
<i>She asked if we could meet.</i>

00:19:07.105 --> 00:19:11.021 align:center
#02 THE SEA, THIS DAMNED LOVE,
AN EXCLAMATION MARK!

00:19:15.855 --> 00:19:17.105 align:center
It was fun, right?

00:19:17.438 --> 00:19:18.313 align:center
One second.

00:19:21.771 --> 00:19:22.896 align:center
What is he doing?

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:27.688 align:center
- Okay, thank you!
- Complete nut case.

00:19:39.146 --> 00:19:40.063 align:center
Hi!

00:19:46.938 --> 00:19:48.271 align:center
Settled into the new house?

00:19:49.730 --> 00:19:50.646 align:center
We will, eventually.

00:19:52.396 --> 00:19:53.271 align:center
Hey,

00:19:53.688 --> 00:19:55.146 align:center
you said you were feeling low.

00:19:55.813 --> 00:19:56.730 align:center
Is everything okay?

00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:00.730 align:center
I told my mother
I was feeling feverish.

00:20:01.146 --> 00:20:03.146 align:center
She shouted at me,
saying I was lying

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:04.938 align:center
just to escape doing the laundry.

00:20:05.688 --> 00:20:07.438 align:center
She thinks of me as a burden.

00:20:08.396 --> 00:20:09.771 align:center
She doesn't love me anymore.

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.271 align:center
Why don't you check
if I'm running a fever?

00:20:16.771 --> 00:20:17.813 align:center
What are you looking at?

00:20:18.896 --> 00:20:20.271 align:center
Give me your hand.
See?

00:20:21.646 --> 00:20:22.521 align:center
I have it, right?

00:20:24.230 --> 00:20:25.105 align:center
Oh, my!

00:20:25.688 --> 00:20:26.646 align:center
You're burning up!

00:20:38.355 --> 00:20:40.938 align:center
You've got a nice new fragrance on you.

00:20:41.605 --> 00:20:42.646 align:center
What perfume did you use?

00:20:43.896 --> 00:20:44.813 align:center
Rotomac.

00:20:51.396 --> 00:20:53.146 align:center
I finally feel at peace.

00:20:55.146 --> 00:20:56.063 align:center
Can we get in the water?

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.396 align:center
What's wrong?

00:21:11.396 --> 00:21:14.396 align:center
The sea always reminds me
of the movie <i>Titanic.</i>

00:21:14.813 --> 00:21:16.646 align:center
I've seen it 20 times, maybe.

00:21:16.896 --> 00:21:17.771 align:center
Oh, yeah?

00:21:18.021 --> 00:21:20.688 align:center
Alright, tell me
your favorite scene from it.

00:21:25.646 --> 00:21:27.563 align:center
The one where the hero

00:21:27.646 --> 00:21:29.480 align:center
wins tickets in a rummy game

00:21:29.938 --> 00:21:31.521 align:center
and runs to board the ship?

00:21:32.105 --> 00:21:33.271 align:center
That's my favorite!

00:21:38.771 --> 00:21:41.480 align:center
<i>I've seen girls who</i>
<i>casually touch while talking.</i>

00:21:42.146 --> 00:21:43.271 align:center
<i>But Viji is not like that.</i>

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:47.021 align:center
<i>Her standing in the sea,</i>
<i>holding a guy's hand…</i>

00:21:47.438 --> 00:21:48.855 align:center
<i>that's not a small thing.</i>

00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:50.146 align:center
<i>But…</i>

00:21:50.521 --> 00:21:52.938 align:center
<i>I didn't want to live</i>
<i>with the uncertainty</i>

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:54.563 align:center
<i>of where I stood in her life.</i>

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:56.355 align:center
I'm going to the shore.

00:21:56.438 --> 00:21:59.271 align:center
<i>I felt like I was</i>
<i>confusing friendship with love.</i>

00:22:03.396 --> 00:22:05.938 align:center
<i>I could've made girls look at me</i>

00:22:06.021 --> 00:22:07.480 align:center
<i>if I had some talent like </i>Titanic's<i> Jack.</i>

00:22:08.771 --> 00:22:13.021 align:center
<i>But I can neither draw nor write poetry.</i>
<i>I can't even play a guitar.</i>

00:22:13.563 --> 00:22:14.730 align:center
<i>You know,</i>

00:22:15.230 --> 00:22:17.980 align:center
<i>the voice inside my head is much</i>
<i>more interesting than what I speak.</i>

00:22:18.188 --> 00:22:19.813 align:center
<i>But she can't hear it, right?</i>

00:22:20.396 --> 00:22:21.855 align:center
<i>Or can she?</i>
<i>Let me try.</i>

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:26.938 align:center
<i>Viji…</i>

00:22:48.271 --> 00:22:49.188 align:center
Hi, dear.

00:22:50.605 --> 00:22:51.646 align:center
Would you like to buy
some flowers?

00:22:51.980 --> 00:22:54.646 align:center
Look at her hair.
It looks empty without flowers.

00:22:54.730 --> 00:22:56.896 align:center
Who even has
such lengthy hair these days?

00:22:57.021 --> 00:22:59.313 align:center
Buy her some, will you?

00:23:00.063 --> 00:23:01.646 align:center
Is it a law for lengthy hair
to have flowers on it?

00:23:02.605 --> 00:23:04.521 align:center
Ask her yourself
if she wants flowers.

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:07.355 align:center
Over here, ma'am.

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:11.188 align:center
Poor girl's going to suffer with him.

00:23:14.688 --> 00:23:15.563 align:center
Come, let's go.

00:23:22.938 --> 00:23:23.813 align:center
Sathya?

00:23:24.771 --> 00:23:25.646 align:center
Sathya!

00:23:26.646 --> 00:23:27.896 align:center
Wait, Sathya.

00:23:33.188 --> 00:23:34.105 align:center
What is it?

00:23:39.063 --> 00:23:40.021 align:center
What do you think of yourself?

00:23:41.271 --> 00:23:43.855 align:center
I'm a girl and dropping you so many hints.
Don't you get it?

00:23:44.688 --> 00:23:46.521 align:center
I waited six months
thinking you'd propose,

00:23:46.605 --> 00:23:48.063 align:center
but you kept putting it off
for some reason!

00:23:49.855 --> 00:23:51.688 align:center
When she wanted you
to buy me some flowers,

00:23:51.771 --> 00:23:52.771 align:center
why did you get irritated?

00:23:55.521 --> 00:23:57.105 align:center
I thought you'd never touch me…

00:23:58.688 --> 00:23:59.896 align:center
and even lied about having a fever.

00:24:00.188 --> 00:24:01.105 align:center
And you're still acting dumb?!

00:24:03.438 --> 00:24:05.438 align:center
When I asked about
your favorite scene in <i>Titanic,</i>

00:24:05.521 --> 00:24:06.605 align:center
you said you liked that rummy scene!

00:24:06.896 --> 00:24:07.771 align:center
I'll kill you.

00:24:08.438 --> 00:24:09.396 align:center
What's taking you so long?

00:24:12.146 --> 00:24:13.021 align:center
Tell me!

00:24:13.938 --> 00:24:14.813 align:center
I…

00:24:15.146 --> 00:24:19.188 align:center
I was looking for a special place
to propose.

00:24:19.688 --> 00:24:20.563 align:center
Yeah, right.

00:24:20.813 --> 00:24:21.855 align:center
Don't make me cuss.

00:24:22.313 --> 00:24:25.480 align:center
In buses, temples, and even in
public toilets, people etch their names…

00:24:25.813 --> 00:24:27.563 align:center
expressing their love.

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:30.480 align:center
You could've written our names
in the sand,

00:24:30.605 --> 00:24:31.980 align:center
drawn a heart, and proposed!

00:24:33.646 --> 00:24:35.855 align:center
Instead, he was bothered

00:24:36.396 --> 00:24:37.313 align:center
about the pit we were digging.

00:24:37.771 --> 00:24:38.771 align:center
You are so dumb!

00:24:41.563 --> 00:24:44.771 align:center
I've been trying to stay calm
and be a good girl.

00:24:45.271 --> 00:24:46.771 align:center
But you're testing my patience.

00:24:53.063 --> 00:24:55.396 align:center
So, will you finally say you love me,
or should I walk away?

00:24:59.105 --> 00:24:59.980 align:center
What?

00:25:01.021 --> 00:25:02.730 align:center
Wait here, okay?

00:25:03.188 --> 00:25:04.438 align:center
- Where are you going?
- Just stay there.

00:25:04.521 --> 00:25:05.396 align:center
Sathya?

00:25:20.355 --> 00:25:21.355 align:center
Stay right here.

00:25:34.271 --> 00:25:35.230 align:center
Come with me.

00:25:35.896 --> 00:25:37.063 align:center
- What happened?
- Come here.

00:25:37.146 --> 00:25:38.730 align:center
- Where?
- Come.

00:25:40.605 --> 00:25:41.521 align:center
What is it?

00:25:43.771 --> 00:25:45.021 align:center
This is that special place.

00:25:48.146 --> 00:25:49.438 align:center
What's so special about this place?

00:25:49.938 --> 00:25:51.105 align:center
We're still on the shore.

00:25:53.313 --> 00:25:55.938 align:center
If you walk away from this spot,

00:25:56.313 --> 00:25:57.938 align:center
you'll hear the traffic blaring.

00:25:58.938 --> 00:26:01.146 align:center
Walk toward the sea,

00:26:01.730 --> 00:26:03.021 align:center
and you'll hear the waves crashing.

00:26:04.355 --> 00:26:06.105 align:center
Okay, and?

00:26:07.938 --> 00:26:09.105 align:center
But at this spot,

00:26:09.855 --> 00:26:11.730 align:center
you can neither hear the traffic

00:26:12.355 --> 00:26:13.730 align:center
nor the waves crashing.

00:26:14.521 --> 00:26:17.313 align:center
Just the deafening sea breeze.

00:26:22.313 --> 00:26:23.188 align:center
Don't believe me?

00:26:23.521 --> 00:26:25.355 align:center
Go check for yourself.

00:26:29.396 --> 00:26:30.271 align:center
Alright.

00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:17.355 align:center
Hey…

00:27:18.021 --> 00:27:18.938 align:center
You're right.

00:27:19.605 --> 00:27:20.688 align:center
As you said,

00:27:21.355 --> 00:27:23.646 align:center
I can only hear the breeze.

00:27:25.730 --> 00:27:27.271 align:center
The one that you hear from a conch?

00:27:28.146 --> 00:27:29.105 align:center
That's what I hear.

00:27:39.605 --> 00:27:41.896 align:center
Are you ready to look me in the eye
like this for the rest of your life?

00:27:54.230 --> 00:27:55.230 align:center
Gosh, you're so romantic!

00:27:57.355 --> 00:27:59.396 align:center
I don't know how
or what you're going to do.

00:27:59.771 --> 00:28:02.230 align:center
You're buying me flowers
from that lady before we leave.

00:28:02.730 --> 00:28:03.938 align:center
Okay? Come.

00:28:05.021 --> 00:28:08.021 align:center
Can't walk around with these heels.

00:28:08.771 --> 00:28:09.646 align:center
It hurts.

00:28:09.813 --> 00:28:10.688 align:center
Here, hold these.

00:28:13.855 --> 00:28:15.230 align:center
It's getting late. Come on.

00:28:17.688 --> 00:28:18.563 align:center
Come!

00:28:19.355 --> 00:28:20.313 align:center
Come fast.

00:28:28.896 --> 00:28:29.896 align:center
Is that your girl?

00:28:32.605 --> 00:28:33.646 align:center
Enjoy!

00:28:34.188 --> 00:28:36.105 align:center
<i>I'm a beautiful girl's boyfriend.</i>

00:28:36.188 --> 00:28:37.521 align:center
<i>That's my identity now.</i>

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:42.563 align:center
<i>The sky rained love</i>

00:28:46.896 --> 00:28:50.563 align:center
<i>The earth soaked it in</i>

00:28:54.938 --> 00:28:58.438 align:center
<i>The sky rained love</i>

00:28:58.855 --> 00:29:02.480 align:center
<i>The earth soaked it in</i>

00:29:02.896 --> 00:29:06.188 align:center
<i>Seeds broke free to grow</i>

00:29:06.605 --> 00:29:10.396 align:center
<i>New plants began to show</i>

00:29:10.563 --> 00:29:13.896 align:center
<i>Flowers bloomed so fair</i>

00:29:14.605 --> 00:29:18.021 align:center
<i>They longed to rest in your hair</i>

00:29:18.563 --> 00:29:22.896 align:center
<i>Where you walk</i>
<i>The flowers turn</i>

00:29:22.980 --> 00:29:26.313 align:center
<i>Drawn to you in quiet grace</i>

00:29:26.521 --> 00:29:30.813 align:center
<i>Even thorns long in silence</i>

00:29:30.896 --> 00:29:34.355 align:center
<i>To be the flower</i>
<i>You might pick one day</i>

00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.813 align:center
<i>All flowers fade and fall away</i>

00:29:38.896 --> 00:29:42.521 align:center
<i>But the one you chose that day</i>

00:29:42.605 --> 00:29:46.480 align:center
<i>Even the one you wore and threw</i>

00:29:46.563 --> 00:29:50.438 align:center
<i>Still holds the scent of you</i>

00:29:50.521 --> 00:29:53.855 align:center
<i>Its journey ends in grace</i>

00:29:54.521 --> 00:29:58.105 align:center
<i>It finds its heaven there</i>

00:30:42.230 --> 00:30:43.230 align:center
- Viji?
- Yeah?

00:30:43.896 --> 00:30:45.230 align:center
- Did you see this?
- What is it?

00:30:45.980 --> 00:30:46.896 align:center
- Here.
- What is it?

00:30:47.521 --> 00:30:48.396 align:center
Hey!

00:30:50.021 --> 00:30:51.521 align:center
You somehow bought it?

00:30:56.146 --> 00:30:57.021 align:center
Okay, hold this.

00:30:57.105 --> 00:30:58.896 align:center
I'll look at it when I'm back.
I'm running late. Okay?

00:30:59.896 --> 00:31:00.855 align:center
- Hey--
- Yes, Sathya?

00:31:01.188 --> 00:31:03.105 align:center
Are you in the office?
I'm just starting from home.

00:31:06.271 --> 00:31:10.230 align:center
#03
ANNA SALAI, BUS GRAFFITI

00:31:11.896 --> 00:31:12.813 align:center
Power cut there too?

00:31:13.146 --> 00:31:14.313 align:center
It just went off here.

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:18.021 align:center
As soon as summer comes,
the power cuts start.

00:31:20.355 --> 00:31:22.563 align:center
Why are you still here?
Has the MD come?

00:31:22.688 --> 00:31:24.688 align:center
Looks like it's a two-hour
power cut today, sir.

00:31:24.938 --> 00:31:26.105 align:center
It'll be back by noon.

00:31:26.730 --> 00:31:28.105 align:center
- Okay, sir.
<i>- It was a Friday.</i>

00:31:28.271 --> 00:31:29.646 align:center
<i>She had just washed her hair.</i>

00:31:30.105 --> 00:31:32.146 align:center
<i>Not the usual well-combed single braid.</i>

00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.521 align:center
<i>Just a casual knot on her damp hair.</i>

00:31:35.021 --> 00:31:39.063 align:center
<i>A bit of jasmine held her hair in place,</i>
<i>like a paperweight holds paper.</i>

00:31:39.271 --> 00:31:41.396 align:center
<i>She looked like</i>
<i>a perfectly wrapped gift.</i>

00:31:42.105 --> 00:31:43.688 align:center
<i>I think she went to the temple</i>
<i>in the morning.</i>

00:31:44.271 --> 00:31:45.646 align:center
<i>She smelled divine, like a temple.</i>

00:31:47.438 --> 00:31:48.313 align:center
- Hello?
- Yes!

00:31:49.813 --> 00:31:51.688 align:center
It's hard to work without the AC.

00:31:51.813 --> 00:31:52.730 align:center
Yeah.

00:31:53.188 --> 00:31:55.105 align:center
Power won't be back for two hours.

00:31:55.688 --> 00:31:56.563 align:center
What do we do until then?

00:31:57.063 --> 00:31:59.188 align:center
Didn't we plan
to go by bus once?

00:31:59.521 --> 00:32:00.396 align:center
Yeah!

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.396 align:center
Shall we take the bus today then?

00:32:03.521 --> 00:32:04.438 align:center
We're going!

00:32:19.105 --> 00:32:20.063 align:center
You're right!

00:32:21.271 --> 00:32:22.980 align:center
Going on the bus is actually fun!

00:32:29.355 --> 00:32:30.313 align:center
What, Viji?

00:32:30.771 --> 00:32:33.021 align:center
Honestly, why did you
fall in love with me?

00:32:33.730 --> 00:32:34.646 align:center
I don't know.

00:32:36.230 --> 00:32:37.396 align:center
I swear, I don't know!

00:32:37.896 --> 00:32:38.771 align:center
Why do you ask?

00:32:40.563 --> 00:32:43.688 align:center
I thought you'd say

00:32:44.021 --> 00:32:46.688 align:center
you liked my character,
that you think I'm a good person,

00:32:47.230 --> 00:32:50.146 align:center
or that I remind you of your mom.

00:32:50.896 --> 00:32:51.855 align:center
But all you did was

00:32:52.063 --> 00:32:55.105 align:center
talk about my eyes, lips, face, and hair,

00:32:55.188 --> 00:32:56.355 align:center
just my looks.

00:32:57.396 --> 00:32:58.688 align:center
It does sound nice,

00:32:59.688 --> 00:33:00.605 align:center
but…

00:33:03.063 --> 00:33:04.146 align:center
Do you really love me, Sathya?

00:33:09.438 --> 00:33:11.521 align:center
Look, love needs no reason.

00:33:11.938 --> 00:33:14.688 align:center
If it does, it isn't love.
Even Shakespeare said so.

00:33:15.105 --> 00:33:16.063 align:center
But you want a reason.

00:33:16.855 --> 00:33:17.730 align:center
Fine.

00:33:17.938 --> 00:33:18.896 align:center
Let's do it your way.

00:33:19.855 --> 00:33:21.563 align:center
Why are you in love with me?

00:33:22.188 --> 00:33:23.271 align:center
Is it my character?

00:33:23.563 --> 00:33:25.688 align:center
I don't even give money
to the homeless

00:33:26.188 --> 00:33:28.355 align:center
or help the blind cross the road.

00:33:28.646 --> 00:33:29.938 align:center
Why do you love me?

00:33:33.188 --> 00:33:35.688 align:center
Actually, I like your inner voice.

00:33:37.188 --> 00:33:38.063 align:center
You mean "Seelay"?

00:33:38.563 --> 00:33:39.521 align:center
What does that mean?

00:33:40.688 --> 00:33:42.521 align:center
I call that voice Seelay.

00:33:42.813 --> 00:33:43.688 align:center
Oh!

00:33:45.355 --> 00:33:46.688 align:center
Then it's Seelay that I like.

00:33:51.271 --> 00:33:53.188 align:center
I don't know why I like you either,

00:33:54.063 --> 00:33:55.188 align:center
but I trust you completely.

00:34:02.896 --> 00:34:06.230 align:center
<i>I asked myself</i>
<i>the same question Viji asked.</i>

00:34:06.355 --> 00:34:07.271 align:center
<i>I had no answer.</i>

00:34:07.521 --> 00:34:10.271 align:center
<i>She loves my inner voice.</i>

00:34:10.646 --> 00:34:13.605 align:center
<i>Someday, the inner voice</i>
<i>that praises her beauty</i>

00:34:13.730 --> 00:34:15.938 align:center
<i>will admire her character</i>
<i>and fall for that, too.</i>

00:34:16.313 --> 00:34:17.855 align:center
<i>And someday,</i>
<i>she'll hear that too.</i>

00:34:19.105 --> 00:34:22.980 align:center
#04 SEELAY…

00:34:23.355 --> 00:34:25.438 align:center
Hello, where are you guys?

00:34:26.355 --> 00:34:27.563 align:center
Alright, come fast. Okay.

00:34:28.105 --> 00:34:28.980 align:center
Bye.

00:34:30.230 --> 00:34:32.188 align:center
Sathya, they're almost here.

00:34:32.813 --> 00:34:34.105 align:center
They'll be here in ten minutes.

00:34:35.563 --> 00:34:36.771 align:center
Why is your button open?

00:34:37.771 --> 00:34:39.480 align:center
<i>The only thing</i>
<i>I know about Viji is that</i>

00:34:39.938 --> 00:34:41.188 align:center
<i>she wants to become an IAS officer.</i>

00:34:41.563 --> 00:34:43.771 align:center
<i>But I wanted to know</i>
<i>about her school days,</i>

00:34:43.938 --> 00:34:47.188 align:center
<i>her favorite teacher,</i>
<i>and the subject she hates.</i>

00:34:47.563 --> 00:34:50.480 align:center
<i>So I thought I'd meet her friends</i>
<i>and get to know her better.</i>

00:34:52.230 --> 00:34:53.146 align:center
Now it's okay.

00:34:54.605 --> 00:34:55.521 align:center
Do I look okay?

00:34:59.396 --> 00:35:00.271 align:center
Hello?

00:35:04.938 --> 00:35:05.855 align:center
Give me a minute!

00:35:23.021 --> 00:35:24.105 align:center
Hey, Mr. Sathya!

00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:26.855 align:center
Vasanth said you're out on your bike
with a girl every day.

00:35:27.105 --> 00:35:28.355 align:center
You didn't even tell me.

00:35:28.896 --> 00:35:30.396 align:center
I'm talking to you!

00:35:30.605 --> 00:35:32.313 align:center
Are you two eloping or what?

00:35:33.271 --> 00:35:34.813 align:center
Hello? Hey!

00:35:35.230 --> 00:35:36.688 align:center
Do you have a photo of her?
Show me right now!

00:35:38.271 --> 00:35:39.605 align:center
No sense of timing at all.

00:35:42.605 --> 00:35:45.063 align:center
<i>All my thoughts kept</i>
<i>going back to my mother.</i>

00:35:45.855 --> 00:35:50.688 align:center
<i>Whenever she took up road issues</i>
<i>or lake issues, we'd clash.</i>

00:35:51.271 --> 00:35:54.188 align:center
<i>Because of that,</i>
<i>we haven't spoken in four years.</i>

00:35:54.730 --> 00:35:57.605 align:center
<i>If she dies while we're still not talking,</i>

00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.355 align:center
<i>my whole life would feel meaningless.</i>

00:36:12.355 --> 00:36:13.688 align:center
Hosur! Hosur!

00:36:14.063 --> 00:36:15.105 align:center
Come on, hop in!

00:36:27.146 --> 00:36:29.021 align:center
Viji, is that him?

00:36:31.896 --> 00:36:32.855 align:center
Hold this.

00:36:35.563 --> 00:36:36.813 align:center
Thank God you're here!

00:36:37.646 --> 00:36:39.855 align:center
I was worried you'd taken an Omni bus.

00:36:41.646 --> 00:36:42.563 align:center
Finally, I saw you.

00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:44.396 align:center
This will do.

00:36:45.105 --> 00:36:47.480 align:center
Where's your phone?
I tried calling you.

00:36:48.563 --> 00:36:50.230 align:center
First, it kept ringing,

00:36:50.855 --> 00:36:53.188 align:center
then it switched off.

00:36:53.980 --> 00:36:57.396 align:center
When you rushed off, saying your mom
was sick and you had to leave,

00:36:58.313 --> 00:36:59.605 align:center
I got scared.

00:37:00.521 --> 00:37:02.855 align:center
I didn't know what to do.

00:37:03.188 --> 00:37:04.938 align:center
Then my friends showed up.

00:37:05.730 --> 00:37:08.230 align:center
They just asked where you were
and what happened,

00:37:09.105 --> 00:37:10.271 align:center
and I started crying.

00:37:12.271 --> 00:37:13.563 align:center
Meet my friends.

00:37:13.813 --> 00:37:14.688 align:center
- Hi!
- This is Amritha.

00:37:14.771 --> 00:37:15.646 align:center
- Lakshana,
- Hi.

00:37:15.771 --> 00:37:18.021 align:center
- Jayashree, and Divya.
- Hi. Hello.

00:37:18.646 --> 00:37:21.021 align:center
Sorry. We were supposed
to meet at the park,

00:37:21.313 --> 00:37:23.271 align:center
but we ended up meeting you all
at the bus stop instead.

00:37:23.730 --> 00:37:26.146 align:center
That's okay, boss.
We'll meet another day.

00:37:26.230 --> 00:37:28.396 align:center
We'll wait outside.
You guys continue.

00:37:28.688 --> 00:37:30.313 align:center
Alright? Let's go.

00:37:34.688 --> 00:37:36.521 align:center
Sorry, I didn't mean to do it.

00:37:37.146 --> 00:37:38.438 align:center
My phone switched off.

00:37:39.271 --> 00:37:41.980 align:center
Since I came here in a hurry,
I couldn't charge it.

00:37:43.771 --> 00:37:45.896 align:center
Namakkal, Salem!
Namakkal, Salem! Salem!

00:37:46.021 --> 00:37:49.438 align:center
Namakkal, Salem, Salem!
Namakkal, Salem, Salem!

00:38:01.271 --> 00:38:02.313 align:center
Should I leave?

00:38:11.271 --> 00:38:12.813 align:center
Hey, wait a minute.

00:38:14.188 --> 00:38:17.313 align:center
- Just shut up. I'm warning you!
- Hey, Divya! Stop!

00:38:17.855 --> 00:38:19.605 align:center
- Give it. You could've stayed there.
- Sorry, sorry!

00:38:23.771 --> 00:38:24.813 align:center
Don't start the bus yet, bro.

00:38:25.980 --> 00:38:27.855 align:center
Sathya, take this.

00:38:30.146 --> 00:38:32.646 align:center
There's a water bottle and
a banana for when you get hungry.

00:38:33.396 --> 00:38:36.188 align:center
I know you might not feel like eating
because of your mom,

00:38:36.521 --> 00:38:38.146 align:center
but please don't stay hungry, okay?

00:38:38.563 --> 00:38:40.980 align:center
Just seeing you will
give her strength again.

00:38:41.855 --> 00:38:43.480 align:center
Please, at least talk to her now.

00:38:44.771 --> 00:38:46.021 align:center
Call me once you reach.

00:38:46.105 --> 00:38:47.355 align:center
CHENNAI
SALEM

00:38:55.355 --> 00:38:58.063 align:center
<i>I left her alone at the park</i>
<i>just like that.</i>

00:38:58.813 --> 00:39:00.313 align:center
<i>Why would she come after me?</i>

00:39:00.771 --> 00:39:02.105 align:center
<i>That too with her friends?</i>

00:39:02.646 --> 00:39:04.146 align:center
<i>When girls leave town,</i>

00:39:04.438 --> 00:39:08.188 align:center
<i>I've seen their boyfriends</i>
<i>send them off with water bottles</i>

00:39:08.271 --> 00:39:10.980 align:center
<i>and a few books to read,</i>
<i>right here at CMBT.</i>

00:39:11.771 --> 00:39:13.438 align:center
<i>But I've never seen someone like her.</i>

00:39:24.563 --> 00:39:27.105 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:39:27.188 --> 00:39:28.271 align:center
HEY, JUST PICK UP THE PHONE ONCE.

00:39:28.355 --> 00:39:29.313 align:center
DON'T RIDE TOO FAST.
YOUR MOM WILL BE FINE.

00:39:29.396 --> 00:39:31.771 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My only Seelay…</i>

00:39:31.855 --> 00:39:32.730 align:center
SHOULD I COME TO THE VILLAGE
WITH YOU TO SEE AUNTIE TOO?

00:39:32.813 --> 00:39:33.813 align:center
WHICH BUS STAND ARE YOU LEAVING FROM?
DO YOU HAVE MONEY ON YOU?

00:39:34.230 --> 00:39:38.813 align:center
<i>This love I feel, I must confess</i>
<i>It won't let my heart rest</i>

00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:42.813 align:center
<i>It aches to tell you why</i>

00:39:43.855 --> 00:39:48.355 align:center
<i>The words that echo deep in me</i>
<i>Did they find their way to you?</i>

00:39:48.646 --> 00:39:50.896 align:center
<i>My eyes can't hold it in</i>

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:53.230 align:center
<i>You asked me that day</i>
<i>if I fell for your beauty?</i>

00:39:54.563 --> 00:39:57.105 align:center
<i>No.</i>
<i>This is the character you asked for.</i>

00:39:57.771 --> 00:39:59.188 align:center
<i>This is why I love you.</i>

00:39:59.730 --> 00:40:02.896 align:center
<i>If you ask me suddenly,</i>
<i>I won't be able to phrase it perfectly.</i>

00:40:03.813 --> 00:40:04.813 align:center
<i>That's how I am.</i>

00:40:05.230 --> 00:40:06.396 align:center
<i>I grew up that way.</i>

00:40:06.896 --> 00:40:08.521 align:center
<i>My inner voice kept yelling,</i>

00:40:09.271 --> 00:40:11.063 align:center
<i>"Everyone, look!</i>
<i>That's my girl!"</i>

00:40:11.146 --> 00:40:12.063 align:center
Sir, ticket?

00:40:13.355 --> 00:40:14.396 align:center
Where are you going, sir?

00:40:16.605 --> 00:40:17.605 align:center
Brother, one ticket to Salem.

00:40:18.355 --> 00:40:19.646 align:center
Make it two.

00:40:23.438 --> 00:40:26.146 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:40:26.355 --> 00:40:27.355 align:center
Who else needs a ticket?

00:40:28.230 --> 00:40:30.896 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My only Seelay…</i>

00:40:32.980 --> 00:40:37.563 align:center
<i>Like the moon that moves</i>
<i>Upon the river's face</i>

00:40:37.855 --> 00:40:42.355 align:center
<i>Like a beam of light</i>
<i>Touched by rain's embrace</i>

00:40:42.646 --> 00:40:47.146 align:center
<i>Your light that shines</i>
<i>So deep and true</i>

00:40:47.438 --> 00:40:52.230 align:center
<i>My life within the love I keep</i>
<i>Love of my life, it's you, just you</i>

00:40:52.313 --> 00:40:54.813 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:40:54.980 --> 00:40:59.646 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:40:59.730 --> 00:41:01.688 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:41:01.855 --> 00:41:04.480 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My only Seelay…</i>

00:41:04.563 --> 00:41:09.188 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:41:09.313 --> 00:41:11.438 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:25.355 align:center
Are you happy now?

00:41:26.855 --> 00:41:28.021 align:center
Okay, bye.

00:42:09.730 --> 00:42:11.396 align:center
From now on, tell her to rest

00:42:11.480 --> 00:42:13.938 align:center
instead of working
at the canal and the lake.

00:42:28.730 --> 00:42:31.355 align:center
Even on her deathbed,
your wife won't change, will she?

00:42:32.396 --> 00:42:34.521 align:center
I've had enough, Dad.
I'm going back to Chennai.

00:42:36.855 --> 00:42:37.730 align:center
Stop, dear.

00:42:40.938 --> 00:42:42.355 align:center
She won't change her mind.

00:42:43.688 --> 00:42:44.896 align:center
And you won't step down either.

00:42:47.146 --> 00:42:49.521 align:center
You two aren't going to
speak to each other in this lifetime.

00:42:50.646 --> 00:42:51.563 align:center
For my sake,

00:42:52.105 --> 00:42:54.521 align:center
stay here for a week.
So she can at least see you.

00:42:55.063 --> 00:42:56.021 align:center
She'll be all right.

00:43:02.146 --> 00:43:03.396 align:center
Hey, she's here.

00:43:14.313 --> 00:43:15.480 align:center
I didn't expect that…

00:43:16.146 --> 00:43:17.938 align:center
you would listen to me
and stay here.

00:43:18.896 --> 00:43:20.646 align:center
You've become calmer
and more composed.

00:43:21.605 --> 00:43:24.313 align:center
Whatever the reason,
I'm happy about it.

00:43:25.938 --> 00:43:26.980 align:center
There's a girl, Dad.

00:43:32.980 --> 00:43:33.980 align:center
Her name is Viji.

00:43:39.438 --> 00:43:43.938 align:center
<i>I look at myself</i>
<i>But I'm not the same</i>

00:43:44.271 --> 00:43:48.730 align:center
<i>How do I tell you</i>
<i>That you're my world?</i>

00:43:48.813 --> 00:43:53.605 align:center
<i>You walked in</i>
<i>As the wings of my soul</i>

00:43:53.688 --> 00:43:56.271 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:43:58.688 --> 00:44:03.105 align:center
<i>You're the joy</i>
<i>That stole my heart away</i>

00:44:03.396 --> 00:44:07.896 align:center
<i>I search for you</i>
<i>As my eyes grow dim each day</i>

00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:12.730 align:center
<i>Take my hand and guide me home</i>

00:44:12.813 --> 00:44:15.480 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My only Seelay…</i>

00:44:17.188 --> 00:44:21.980 align:center
<i>Like a night that never fades away</i>
<i>And a story that never ends</i>

00:44:22.063 --> 00:44:26.730 align:center
<i>My soul searches for you in every beat</i>
<i>You're the rhythm that makes me complete</i>

00:44:26.813 --> 00:44:31.813 align:center
<i>Even the moon will rest one day</i>
<i>Close its eyes and drift away</i>

00:44:31.896 --> 00:44:36.688 align:center
<i>But our love won't lose its ray</i>

00:44:36.771 --> 00:44:39.355 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:44.105 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:44:44.271 --> 00:44:46.105 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:44:46.355 --> 00:44:48.896 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My only Seelay…</i>

00:44:49.063 --> 00:44:53.813 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:44:53.896 --> 00:44:55.980 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:44:58.105 --> 00:45:00.105 align:center
What are you doing
on my computer?

00:45:00.230 --> 00:45:01.980 align:center
I'm checking if you've got
adult videos.

00:45:03.646 --> 00:45:04.980 align:center
Check his computer.
You'll get it.

00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:08.688 align:center
<i>In this restless, spinning world</i>

00:45:08.855 --> 00:45:13.438 align:center
<i>You gave me a lap</i>
<i>Where worries sleep</i>

00:45:13.646 --> 00:45:19.438 align:center
<i>You became my forever</i>

00:45:19.980 --> 00:45:24.105 align:center
<i>You came to me, my love</i>

00:45:24.438 --> 00:45:29.105 align:center
<i>I'm drenched by something unseen</i>
<i>I'm lost for words to express my love</i>

00:45:29.313 --> 00:45:33.813 align:center
<i>Distance means nothing</i>
<i>I'm close to you in every memory</i>

00:45:33.980 --> 00:45:39.063 align:center
<i>Even the moon will rest one day</i>
<i>Close its eyes and drift away</i>

00:45:39.146 --> 00:45:43.896 align:center
<i>But our love won't lose its ray</i>

00:45:43.980 --> 00:45:46.521 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:45:46.646 --> 00:45:48.980 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:45:49.271 --> 00:45:51.355 align:center
Do you always have to
bring a gift?

00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:53.271 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:45:53.563 --> 00:45:56.105 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My only Seelay…</i>

00:45:56.271 --> 00:46:00.938 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:46:01.063 --> 00:46:03.021 align:center
<i>Seelay, Seelay</i>
<i>My dear Seelay…</i>

00:46:31.105 --> 00:46:32.063 align:center
Have a sweet.

00:46:32.271 --> 00:46:34.271 align:center
- What's the occasion?
- It's my 100th interview.

00:46:34.480 --> 00:46:35.355 align:center
That's why.

00:46:35.521 --> 00:46:36.855 align:center
No, thanks!
Sit down, please.

00:46:37.980 --> 00:46:38.855 align:center
Here, ma'am.

00:46:40.980 --> 00:46:41.855 align:center
What is this?

00:46:42.355 --> 00:46:43.230 align:center
What's wrong, ma'am?

00:46:43.396 --> 00:46:46.063 align:center
You filled the "sex" column
as "I'm waiting"?!

00:46:46.521 --> 00:46:47.396 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.730 align:center
That was out of frustration, ma'am.

00:46:49.813 --> 00:46:50.730 align:center
Sorry, ma'am.

00:46:51.021 --> 00:46:52.105 align:center
What the hell is this?

00:46:52.771 --> 00:46:55.146 align:center
And you've filled your
area of interest as "Bangalore"?!

00:46:55.230 --> 00:46:56.188 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

00:46:56.271 --> 00:46:58.105 align:center
Oh, that's where my girl lives.

00:46:58.646 --> 00:47:00.146 align:center
What the hell is this?

00:47:01.105 --> 00:47:04.605 align:center
Your degree certificate has
Maruthi Printers' logo on it.

00:47:04.688 --> 00:47:06.021 align:center
It's a fake certificate!

00:47:06.105 --> 00:47:07.063 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

00:47:07.688 --> 00:47:09.396 align:center
- Get out! Get lost!
- Ma'am…

00:47:09.938 --> 00:47:12.813 align:center
#05
FOUR LIPS AND ONE KISS…

00:47:20.230 --> 00:47:21.105 align:center
Get away!

00:47:21.563 --> 00:47:22.980 align:center
Didn't you say you'd
be back only at night?

00:47:23.188 --> 00:47:26.396 align:center
Listen. I'm furious, man.
Don't make it worse!

00:47:26.605 --> 00:47:27.563 align:center
I want to drink in peace.

00:47:27.980 --> 00:47:29.563 align:center
Fine.
How did it go over there?

00:47:30.313 --> 00:47:31.271 align:center
It all went to hell.

00:47:32.355 --> 00:47:34.438 align:center
My producer's last movie was a total flop.

00:47:34.896 --> 00:47:36.188 align:center
He won't be able to finance it
for the next two years.

00:47:38.438 --> 00:47:40.480 align:center
This is all because of her!
This is her doing!

00:47:40.688 --> 00:47:42.771 align:center
- Who?
- My ex, of course.

00:47:43.771 --> 00:47:45.730 align:center
My whole life fell apart
the day she left me.

00:47:51.313 --> 00:47:52.896 align:center
- He got sweets for his 100th interview.
- Go take a look.

00:47:53.688 --> 00:47:56.063 align:center
I'll kill him if he didn't
get selected today.

00:48:04.313 --> 00:48:05.313 align:center
Sathya…

00:48:05.855 --> 00:48:08.021 align:center
- There's a girl asking for you.
- Sathya?

00:48:08.105 --> 00:48:08.980 align:center
Is she your girlfriend?

00:48:09.271 --> 00:48:10.188 align:center
Move, please.

00:48:11.730 --> 00:48:12.813 align:center
Why are you here?!

00:48:16.563 --> 00:48:18.938 align:center
- Did anyone see you come?
- Nope.

00:48:22.230 --> 00:48:24.146 align:center
Hey, can I show her around?

00:48:24.521 --> 00:48:25.480 align:center
Just keep quiet.

00:48:28.938 --> 00:48:29.980 align:center
Feel at home, sister.

00:48:40.521 --> 00:48:41.855 align:center
Viji, meet Mani.

00:48:42.355 --> 00:48:43.771 align:center
- My close friend.
- Oh.

00:48:44.396 --> 00:48:45.313 align:center
Hi!

00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:46.480 align:center
Nice meeting you.

00:48:46.730 --> 00:48:48.521 align:center
Remember the slap I gave you?

00:48:48.855 --> 00:48:49.771 align:center
Why bring that up now?

00:48:50.896 --> 00:48:53.730 align:center
Don't mind me.
I'll take my drinks elsewhere.

00:48:53.896 --> 00:48:56.146 align:center
- Anyway, my beers are getting warm--
- It's alright.

00:48:56.521 --> 00:48:58.188 align:center
- No worries, you can drink here.
- Oh, no, no.

00:48:58.438 --> 00:49:00.771 align:center
If I stay, neither of us can do
what we want.

00:49:00.855 --> 00:49:02.146 align:center
- What are you doing, man?
- I'll leave you two be.

00:49:02.355 --> 00:49:03.771 align:center
Have fun! Bye!

00:49:04.230 --> 00:49:06.105 align:center
- Dude! Dude!
- But it's raining--

00:49:06.646 --> 00:49:07.563 align:center
Sathya!

00:49:08.438 --> 00:49:09.396 align:center
I'm leaving my slippers here.

00:49:10.105 --> 00:49:10.980 align:center
I'm heading out!

00:49:11.188 --> 00:49:13.396 align:center
Turn up the TV to drown out the noise.
Call me if you need anything! Bye!

00:49:18.563 --> 00:49:20.271 align:center
Pickle!
The perfect pairing!

00:49:21.855 --> 00:49:23.563 align:center
I know why he left us alone.

00:49:24.271 --> 00:49:26.480 align:center
You're sick,
and I just came to check on you.

00:49:27.396 --> 00:49:28.938 align:center
But if you don't behave,

00:49:30.105 --> 00:49:30.980 align:center
I'll kill you.

00:49:41.188 --> 00:49:42.438 align:center
What's this?

00:49:44.480 --> 00:49:45.480 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

00:49:48.938 --> 00:49:50.146 align:center
Just put it back.

00:49:50.646 --> 00:49:51.896 align:center
My head's already killing me.

00:50:07.355 --> 00:50:09.063 align:center
Feels like I'm seeing you after years.

00:50:11.355 --> 00:50:15.188 align:center
Since you got back,
you've been on sick leave.

00:50:15.646 --> 00:50:16.980 align:center
Thought I'd pay you a visit.

00:50:17.771 --> 00:50:19.313 align:center
But I didn't know
your friend would be here.

00:50:19.938 --> 00:50:20.855 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:50:21.438 --> 00:50:22.355 align:center
Screw him.

00:50:22.605 --> 00:50:24.605 align:center
Okay, when are you planning
to tell your mom about us?

00:50:27.230 --> 00:50:28.105 align:center
- Okay, don't tell her.
- Hey.

00:50:28.230 --> 00:50:29.855 align:center
It's not like I don't want to.

00:50:30.271 --> 00:50:31.980 align:center
Will you hear me out, please?

00:50:32.646 --> 00:50:33.980 align:center
I want to become an IAS officer.

00:50:34.938 --> 00:50:35.896 align:center
That's been my dream.

00:50:37.563 --> 00:50:38.688 align:center
Everything else is secondary.

00:50:40.396 --> 00:50:42.146 align:center
Only then will my mother
take me seriously.

00:50:42.730 --> 00:50:43.646 align:center
Do you understand?

00:50:45.271 --> 00:50:48.313 align:center
Until then, I want you to stay calm,
like that snake in <i>Chandramukhi.</i>

00:50:48.730 --> 00:50:52.646 align:center
No hissing, no dancing.
Just be a good boy, okay?

00:50:58.855 --> 00:51:02.605 align:center
Hey, you're burning up.

00:51:02.855 --> 00:51:04.146 align:center
What did the doctor say?

00:51:04.938 --> 00:51:06.313 align:center
You don't know?

00:51:08.105 --> 00:51:10.355 align:center
You sent me "those" texts all night,

00:51:10.855 --> 00:51:11.855 align:center
and now you're asking me?

00:51:12.646 --> 00:51:15.313 align:center
You don't know?
You don't?

00:51:18.438 --> 00:51:19.313 align:center
What the hell is this?

00:51:19.396 --> 00:51:20.980 align:center
An orange <i>dupatta?</i>

00:51:21.355 --> 00:51:22.730 align:center
And it's got Hindi on it.

00:51:23.938 --> 00:51:26.313 align:center
- Yeah.
- Alright, tell me what this is.

00:51:26.563 --> 00:51:27.480 align:center
This is the letter "Y."

00:51:27.730 --> 00:51:28.605 align:center
This?

00:51:28.813 --> 00:51:29.688 align:center
This is "O."

00:51:29.896 --> 00:51:30.771 align:center
And this?

00:51:31.355 --> 00:51:32.230 align:center
That's "M."

00:51:32.688 --> 00:51:33.605 align:center
"M"?

00:51:34.355 --> 00:51:35.230 align:center
What about this?

00:51:37.355 --> 00:51:39.146 align:center
Why do we need a third language

00:51:39.230 --> 00:51:40.605 align:center
when we have our glorious Tamil?

00:51:40.896 --> 00:51:41.938 align:center
Get your hands off me!

00:51:42.021 --> 00:51:43.438 align:center
Take your hands off me!

00:51:44.813 --> 00:51:46.563 align:center
I'm only against its imposition,

00:51:47.230 --> 00:51:48.188 align:center
not the language itself.

00:51:58.313 --> 00:51:59.521 align:center
<i>When desire creeps in,</i>

00:51:59.771 --> 00:52:02.271 align:center
<i>love doesn't stop for red</i>

00:52:02.563 --> 00:52:04.563 align:center
<i>or go on green.</i>

00:52:04.896 --> 00:52:07.355 align:center
<i>It's like a flashing orange light</i>
<i>in the middle of the night.</i>

00:52:07.896 --> 00:52:09.730 align:center
<i>You've got to tread carefully.</i>

00:52:20.438 --> 00:52:21.355 align:center
Dude?

00:52:24.271 --> 00:52:25.188 align:center
Hey…

00:52:27.396 --> 00:52:28.521 align:center
Viji left?

00:52:29.313 --> 00:52:30.271 align:center
Not yet.

00:52:30.813 --> 00:52:32.396 align:center
Will leave in a while.
You can come in.

00:52:32.855 --> 00:52:33.813 align:center
Is this really our room?

00:52:36.021 --> 00:52:37.771 align:center
My <i>lungi </i>is…

00:52:38.230 --> 00:52:39.521 align:center
now a curtain!

00:52:40.355 --> 00:52:41.688 align:center
Forgive me, my Lord.

00:52:43.813 --> 00:52:44.688 align:center
- Hey…
- Careful, man.

00:52:44.771 --> 00:52:45.646 align:center
Careful.

00:52:45.730 --> 00:52:47.021 align:center
- Dinner's ready?
- Yes, please sit.

00:52:47.105 --> 00:52:47.980 align:center
Sit.

00:52:54.521 --> 00:52:55.730 align:center
I made it all.

00:52:56.063 --> 00:52:57.063 align:center
Tell me if you like it.

00:52:58.730 --> 00:52:59.605 align:center
Enough.

00:53:02.271 --> 00:53:03.230 align:center
You're not hungry?

00:53:03.563 --> 00:53:05.021 align:center
- You first.
- Eat with him.

00:53:05.105 --> 00:53:05.980 align:center
Let him eat.

00:53:07.563 --> 00:53:08.980 align:center
Long live home-cooked food!

00:53:35.146 --> 00:53:36.271 align:center
It's been three years

00:53:36.980 --> 00:53:38.688 align:center
since I last ate at home.

00:53:39.438 --> 00:53:40.480 align:center
All thanks to her!

00:53:44.896 --> 00:53:46.438 align:center
- Slowly, slowly. Have some water.
- Don't cry!

00:53:48.105 --> 00:53:51.230 align:center
I thought you would've pounced on
each other since the room was all yours.

00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:53.813 align:center
But you tidied it up
and cooked dinner, instead!

00:53:54.396 --> 00:53:55.605 align:center
So you're a good girl.

00:53:56.188 --> 00:53:58.355 align:center
Who said we didn't?

00:53:59.980 --> 00:54:01.980 align:center
Oh, my. That was unexpected!

00:54:02.521 --> 00:54:03.438 align:center
Very good.

00:54:03.855 --> 00:54:04.813 align:center
Good to know that.

00:54:05.230 --> 00:54:08.105 align:center
I've been there,
and I can relate to this.

00:54:08.646 --> 00:54:10.688 align:center
- Is that <i>rasam?</i> Can I have some?
- Yes.

00:54:12.980 --> 00:54:13.938 align:center
Thank you, that'll do.

00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:15.396 align:center
Pour some in my hand, please.

00:54:22.313 --> 00:54:23.730 align:center
Why did you two split up?

00:54:25.605 --> 00:54:26.730 align:center
Did you try to win her back?

00:54:27.438 --> 00:54:29.855 align:center
You see, in the beginning,

00:54:30.438 --> 00:54:32.105 align:center
chemistry is all love needs.

00:54:33.021 --> 00:54:33.938 align:center
But as time goes on,

00:54:35.355 --> 00:54:36.230 align:center
you need math, too.

00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:39.063 align:center
Math is very important, you know?

00:54:41.188 --> 00:54:43.605 align:center
I wasn't born with a silver spoon,
unfortunately.

00:54:44.771 --> 00:54:47.521 align:center
I fled to Chennai because
cinema's my everything.

00:54:48.438 --> 00:54:49.813 align:center
And years flew away in a blink.

00:54:50.355 --> 00:54:52.230 align:center
How long will she keep
taking care of me?

00:54:54.230 --> 00:54:55.980 align:center
She fought with me
and went away.

00:54:56.563 --> 00:54:58.146 align:center
I pooled in all the cash I had

00:54:58.646 --> 00:55:00.396 align:center
and looked for her everywhere.

00:55:00.896 --> 00:55:03.646 align:center
But when I couldn't bear my hunger
after the third day,

00:55:04.063 --> 00:55:05.063 align:center
I gave up.

00:55:06.855 --> 00:55:08.563 align:center
These days,
even a pair of slippers…

00:55:10.021 --> 00:55:11.146 align:center
gets on my nerves!

00:55:12.146 --> 00:55:15.438 align:center
When I go into the bathroom
to console myself,

00:55:15.896 --> 00:55:17.480 align:center
I dunk my head in a bucket of water

00:55:18.230 --> 00:55:19.730 align:center
and cry my heart out.

00:55:20.563 --> 00:55:22.855 align:center
And to ease my physical needs, I…

00:55:23.438 --> 00:55:24.355 align:center
Hey, hey!

00:55:26.021 --> 00:55:26.938 align:center
Oh.

00:55:27.396 --> 00:55:29.230 align:center
Sorry, sister.
I shouldn't have said that.

00:55:30.813 --> 00:55:31.730 align:center
Sorry, man.

00:55:32.313 --> 00:55:33.188 align:center
But…

00:55:33.396 --> 00:55:34.688 align:center
the food was fantastic.

00:55:35.938 --> 00:55:37.271 align:center
He's really lucky to have you!

00:55:38.188 --> 00:55:39.938 align:center
Hey, wait.
I'm not done talking.

00:55:40.313 --> 00:55:41.230 align:center
Wait.

00:55:41.730 --> 00:55:42.605 align:center
Sister,

00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:45.063 align:center
being in love is an amazing feeling.

00:55:45.646 --> 00:55:47.730 align:center
You can sit with your loved ones,

00:55:47.980 --> 00:55:52.771 align:center
look back on all the trouble
you got into and your glory days,

00:55:53.063 --> 00:55:54.688 align:center
and laugh your heart out.

00:55:56.688 --> 00:55:59.063 align:center
But talking about your failed love story,

00:55:59.605 --> 00:56:04.271 align:center
telling everyone how you blew it
just for free drinks…

00:56:05.771 --> 00:56:06.896 align:center
- Alright.
- that's the worst kind of pain.

00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:08.355 align:center
Time to sleep.

00:56:08.605 --> 00:56:11.021 align:center
- Hey, let go of me! I wasn't done!
- Come on, man!

00:56:11.271 --> 00:56:12.938 align:center
Listen up, Viji.

00:56:13.646 --> 00:56:14.605 align:center
If you…

00:56:15.605 --> 00:56:17.646 align:center
decide to break up with my buddy

00:56:17.938 --> 00:56:20.563 align:center
because your mother
or your father disapproved of him,

00:56:21.105 --> 00:56:23.230 align:center
- I swear I won't let you rest in peace!
- Hey!

00:56:23.521 --> 00:56:24.688 align:center
- Shut up!
- Oh, don't shush me!

00:56:25.063 --> 00:56:27.521 align:center
- I may be drunk now,
- That's enough.

00:56:27.605 --> 00:56:28.813 align:center
- but I meant every word.
- Shut up, man.

00:57:00.730 --> 00:57:01.646 align:center
Bye.

00:57:08.813 --> 00:57:09.771 align:center
What's the matter?

00:57:28.980 --> 00:57:30.646 align:center
TEA ESTATE OWNER'S DAUGHTER
CLEARS IAS EXAM

00:58:11.438 --> 00:58:13.855 align:center
Okay, hold this. I'll look at it when
I'm back. I'm running late. Okay?

00:58:13.938 --> 00:58:15.730 align:center
- Hey--
- Yes, Sathya?

00:58:16.938 --> 00:58:18.938 align:center
Are you ready to look me in the eye
like this for the rest of your life?

00:58:19.188 --> 00:58:20.438 align:center
I want to become an IAS officer.

00:58:22.313 --> 00:58:24.730 align:center
Don't hesitate to follow your heart, dear.

00:58:25.105 --> 00:58:27.355 align:center
Honestly, why did you
fall in love with me?

00:58:27.730 --> 00:58:28.896 align:center
I swear, I don't know!

00:58:29.521 --> 00:58:31.271 align:center
<i>In the beginning,</i>
<i>chemistry is all love needs.</i>

00:58:31.771 --> 00:58:33.688 align:center
But as time goes on,
you need math, too.

00:58:34.105 --> 00:58:35.105 align:center
<i>Math is very important.</i>

00:58:35.771 --> 00:58:36.688 align:center
Viji?

00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:53.355 align:center
Viji…

00:58:54.063 --> 00:58:55.021 align:center
Yes?

00:58:56.313 --> 00:58:57.730 align:center
I've been watching you since morning.

00:58:58.105 --> 00:58:59.646 align:center
What are you thinking?
What's wrong?

00:59:01.396 --> 00:59:02.313 align:center
It's nothing.

00:59:03.521 --> 00:59:04.855 align:center
Your face doesn't say that, Viji.

00:59:10.105 --> 00:59:11.021 align:center
I'm resigning.

00:59:11.438 --> 00:59:13.313 align:center
What are you saying, Viji?
Who did you ask before deciding this?

00:59:15.688 --> 00:59:16.646 align:center
Why would I need to ask anyone?

00:59:17.271 --> 00:59:18.188 align:center
I make my own decisions.

00:59:18.438 --> 00:59:19.355 align:center
You should've asked me!

00:59:19.855 --> 00:59:20.771 align:center
We are in love with each other.

00:59:20.855 --> 00:59:22.563 align:center
We can't make individual
decisions anymore.

00:59:24.271 --> 00:59:25.355 align:center
It has to be "our" decision.

00:59:28.230 --> 00:59:29.146 align:center
Tell me this, then.

00:59:30.355 --> 00:59:32.980 align:center
What did you want to become growing up?

00:59:33.521 --> 00:59:35.771 align:center
I just wanted to be a grown-up.

00:59:40.646 --> 00:59:42.188 align:center
Answer me, Viji!

00:59:52.188 --> 00:59:53.271 align:center
Come on in!

00:59:55.438 --> 00:59:56.646 align:center
Love you, Hema!

01:00:14.521 --> 01:00:15.813 align:center
Why do you keep tailing me?

01:00:15.896 --> 01:00:17.730 align:center
Most of them know that I love you.

01:00:18.063 --> 01:00:20.771 align:center
- They don't know it's mutual now.
- So what if they do?

01:00:21.021 --> 01:00:24.063 align:center
Everyone and everything back home
knows about us.

01:00:31.313 --> 01:00:33.896 align:center
Tell me, Viji!
Because I'm done hiding our relationship.

01:00:47.146 --> 01:00:49.355 align:center
Guys! Wait, wait!
I'm sorry.

01:00:49.855 --> 01:00:50.771 align:center
Guys, guys, guys!

01:00:51.313 --> 01:00:52.396 align:center
May I have your attention?

01:00:57.105 --> 01:00:58.313 align:center
Sathya and I are in a relationship.

01:01:00.105 --> 01:01:01.105 align:center
Relationship?

01:01:02.646 --> 01:01:04.563 align:center
- What about Manoj?
- Shut up, idiot.

01:01:05.146 --> 01:01:06.271 align:center
What about me?

01:01:06.938 --> 01:01:09.230 align:center
Viji, are you okay?

01:01:13.355 --> 01:01:16.271 align:center
It's alright.
It's not like he's the only man around.

01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:19.355 align:center
Will you shut up?
You have no idea what love is.

01:01:19.605 --> 01:01:20.896 align:center
Please tell me he's pranking us all.

01:01:22.646 --> 01:01:25.563 align:center
You expect us to randomly believe

01:01:25.771 --> 01:01:27.896 align:center
- that you're dating him?
- Are you pranking us?

01:01:27.980 --> 01:01:29.271 align:center
How do I prove it to them?

01:01:31.521 --> 01:01:33.563 align:center
If we were married,
I'd have shown my <i>thaali.</i>

01:01:34.521 --> 01:01:35.480 align:center
But…

01:01:40.980 --> 01:01:42.980 align:center
Hey, my neck hurts.

01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:44.730 align:center
Can you bend down a little?

01:02:13.855 --> 01:02:16.855 align:center
<i>I felt my identity slowly slipping away</i>

01:02:17.230 --> 01:02:19.980 align:center
<i>the moment Viji said</i>
<i>she wanted to pursue IAS.</i>

01:02:20.313 --> 01:02:22.271 align:center
<i>It felt like graduation day.</i>

01:02:22.855 --> 01:02:25.813 align:center
<i>Viji's 21, and I'm 29.</i>

01:02:26.021 --> 01:02:29.063 align:center
<i>I'd never felt the age gap between us</i>
<i>when we were walking side by side.</i>

01:02:29.563 --> 01:02:31.563 align:center
<i>But the moment she stepped ahead,</i>

01:02:31.980 --> 01:02:36.021 align:center
<i>she felt miles away,</i>
<i>like a fading speck in the distance.</i>

01:02:38.980 --> 01:02:42.146 align:center
<i>If you love me,</i>
<i>if we're meant to be together,</i>

01:02:42.521 --> 01:02:44.771 align:center
<i>and if you can still hear me,</i>

01:02:45.146 --> 01:02:46.813 align:center
<i>just turn around and look at me, Viji.</i>

01:02:48.230 --> 01:02:49.105 align:center
<i>Viji…</i>

01:02:50.855 --> 01:02:51.730 align:center
<i>Viji…</i>

01:02:57.855 --> 01:03:00.646 align:center
<i>I've always told every couple I met</i>

01:03:00.730 --> 01:03:04.605 align:center
<i>they'd end up together,</i>
<i>just to spare them the heartbreak.</i>

01:03:04.855 --> 01:03:06.938 align:center
Until I met you two.

01:03:07.230 --> 01:03:08.438 align:center
<i>You and she</i>

01:03:08.938 --> 01:03:10.230 align:center
aren't meant for each other.

01:03:11.105 --> 01:03:13.563 align:center
One day, you're going to suffer a lot.

01:03:17.230 --> 01:03:19.313 align:center
Come on, dance with us!

01:03:19.771 --> 01:03:22.063 align:center
<i>Everything may seem fine</i>

01:03:22.646 --> 01:03:25.396 align:center
until it's her turn.

01:03:33.021 --> 01:03:35.396 align:center
One day, she'll show you
who she really is.

01:03:35.521 --> 01:03:37.021 align:center
<i>That'll shake you to your core.</i>

01:04:46.730 --> 01:04:48.355 align:center
<i>I'm not sure if I can stand again.</i>

01:04:49.688 --> 01:04:50.938 align:center
<i>I don't know if I'll open my eyes.</i>

01:04:53.063 --> 01:04:56.771 align:center
<i>All I can hear is her laugh</i>
<i>and the sound of the rain.</i>

01:04:58.855 --> 01:04:59.813 align:center
<i>Viji?</i>

01:05:01.855 --> 01:05:02.730 align:center
<i>Viji!</i>

01:05:05.521 --> 01:05:06.480 align:center
<i>Viji…</i>

01:05:07.896 --> 01:05:11.855 align:center
#06 A DRIFTING KITE
IN THE COLD BREEZE

01:05:14.605 --> 01:05:16.563 align:center
Cultural understanding
of health and disease

01:05:16.646 --> 01:05:19.230 align:center
explains how communities
interpret illness through their beliefs.

01:05:19.313 --> 01:05:22.521 align:center
<i>Viji was dead set on clearing</i>
<i>her IAS exams this year.</i>

01:05:22.896 --> 01:05:25.230 align:center
<i>Mani was knocking on</i>
<i>every production company's door</i>

01:05:25.313 --> 01:05:26.896 align:center
<i>to get his script approved.</i>

01:05:27.563 --> 01:05:30.521 align:center
<i>Vasanth got a job in Bangalore</i>
<i>and settled down with his girlfriend.</i>

01:05:30.605 --> 01:05:31.480 align:center
Sir!

01:05:32.105 --> 01:05:33.105 align:center
Thank you so much, sir.

01:05:33.230 --> 01:05:34.146 align:center
<i>But me?</i>

01:05:34.355 --> 01:05:37.521 align:center
<i>Without Viji</i>
<i>and no will to work,</i>

01:05:37.855 --> 01:05:38.855 align:center
<i>I felt completely lost!</i>

01:06:02.646 --> 01:06:06.146 align:center
<i>I'm wilting away, my flower</i>

01:06:07.105 --> 01:06:12.605 align:center
<i>My sweet summer bloom</i>
<i>Because of you</i>

01:06:13.771 --> 01:06:16.271 align:center
Why did you come?
I told you I'd take the bus.

01:06:16.605 --> 01:06:18.021 align:center
I wanted to see you.

01:06:18.521 --> 01:06:22.521 align:center
<i>- I'm wilting away, my flower</i>
- Okay, let's go.

01:06:23.105 --> 01:06:28.605 align:center
<i>My sweet summer bloom</i>
<i>Because of you</i>

01:06:29.230 --> 01:06:33.146 align:center
<i>Since my love has drifted away</i>

01:06:33.730 --> 01:06:39.313 align:center
<i>I'm a poet reborn today</i>

01:06:47.230 --> 01:06:48.563 align:center
<i>You're okay, right?</i>

01:06:49.605 --> 01:06:51.813 align:center
I wanted to see you,

01:06:51.980 --> 01:06:53.396 align:center
<i>but I just couldn't find the time.</i>

01:06:54.188 --> 01:06:55.813 align:center
My prelims are in two days.

01:06:56.396 --> 01:06:57.355 align:center
I understand, Viji.

01:06:57.730 --> 01:07:02.646 align:center
<i>The moon above whispers my ache</i>

01:07:03.105 --> 01:07:08.313 align:center
<i>The earth below bears what I take</i>

01:07:08.438 --> 01:07:13.438 align:center
<i>- The moon above whispers my ache</i>
- Do you always have to bring a gift?

01:07:13.771 --> 01:07:18.813 align:center
<i>The earth below bears what I take</i>

01:07:19.855 --> 01:07:25.021 align:center
<i>Between the heavens and the earth</i>

01:07:25.105 --> 01:07:30.021 align:center
<i>Why are we so far apart, my love?</i>

01:07:30.105 --> 01:07:31.605 align:center
- What's wrong?
- It's just that…

01:07:32.230 --> 01:07:35.480 align:center
sometimes I wish I could
meet my dad, just once.

01:07:35.771 --> 01:07:38.063 align:center
Why?
To ask him why he left?

01:07:39.396 --> 01:07:41.313 align:center
I've never even seen
a picture of him.

01:07:41.396 --> 01:07:44.480 align:center
His name is Kurunila Kathiravan.
That's all I know about him.

01:07:45.521 --> 01:07:48.688 align:center
<i>No matter what,</i>
<i>I would never leave you, Viji.</i>

01:07:48.771 --> 01:07:52.730 align:center
<i>I'm wilting away, my flower</i>

01:07:53.355 --> 01:07:58.855 align:center
<i>My sweet summer bloom</i>
<i>Because of you</i>

01:07:59.271 --> 01:08:00.980 align:center
- What else?
<i>- Viji,</i>

01:08:01.063 --> 01:08:06.730 align:center
this kind of question only comes up
after we've talked for a while.

01:08:07.105 --> 01:08:09.646 align:center
Don't you have anything else to say?

01:08:10.646 --> 01:08:12.271 align:center
Alright, get some rest.

01:08:12.771 --> 01:08:14.563 align:center
Wake me up at four, okay?

01:08:15.063 --> 01:08:15.938 align:center
Okay.

01:08:16.355 --> 01:08:17.688 align:center
- Love you, <i>da.</i>
<i>- Love you.</i>

01:08:19.646 --> 01:08:24.813 align:center
<i>You are the endless sky</i>
<i>I am the world below</i>

01:08:24.980 --> 01:08:27.271 align:center
<i>You are a silver cloud</i>

01:08:27.355 --> 01:08:30.271 align:center
- Still awake?
<i>- I am a broken sliver, incomplete</i>

01:08:30.938 --> 01:08:37.896 align:center
<i>By losing myself in you</i>
<i>I have unraveled my soul</i>

01:08:38.313 --> 01:08:43.563 align:center
<i>I'm wilting away, my flower</i>

01:08:46.480 --> 01:08:47.438 align:center
Open it.

01:08:51.230 --> 01:08:52.855 align:center
What is this?
Okay, you can go.

01:09:04.896 --> 01:09:07.021 align:center
- Are you taking over for Viji?
- Yes.

01:09:07.396 --> 01:09:08.688 align:center
- Are you married?
- Yeah.

01:09:09.396 --> 01:09:10.313 align:center
I love you.

01:09:12.980 --> 01:09:14.063 align:center
Good thing she didn't catch that.

01:09:16.855 --> 01:09:18.938 align:center
- Hello.
- Can I speak to Sathya sir?

01:09:19.313 --> 01:09:20.271 align:center
<i>Yes, ma'am.</i>

01:09:20.521 --> 01:09:21.563 align:center
How did your exams go?

01:09:21.938 --> 01:09:23.021 align:center
<i>Pretty well.</i>

01:09:23.521 --> 01:09:25.188 align:center
But the mains are tougher.

01:09:25.396 --> 01:09:26.563 align:center
I've only got four months.

01:09:27.146 --> 01:09:28.271 align:center
<i>I need to study really hard.</i>

01:09:28.563 --> 01:09:29.771 align:center
Anyway, where are you?

01:09:30.438 --> 01:09:31.313 align:center
At work.

01:09:32.605 --> 01:09:34.688 align:center
I need to go somewhere tomorrow.
Can you take me?

01:09:36.271 --> 01:09:37.563 align:center
What's this?
Hitting Enter gives me an error.

01:09:37.646 --> 01:09:38.646 align:center
I knew it.

01:09:39.146 --> 01:09:40.730 align:center
I was wondering
why you were being so nice.

01:09:41.938 --> 01:09:46.271 align:center
Don't make it sound like
I'm only being nice to get a ride.

01:09:47.146 --> 01:09:48.605 align:center
Alright, I'll take you.

01:09:49.313 --> 01:09:50.396 align:center
Mind telling me why?

01:09:53.313 --> 01:09:57.230 align:center
#07 FALLEN ROSES

01:11:09.438 --> 01:11:10.396 align:center
Hey, Sathya!

01:11:10.730 --> 01:11:11.688 align:center
Look over there.

01:11:13.355 --> 01:11:14.355 align:center
That's Rukmini auntie,

01:11:14.813 --> 01:11:16.771 align:center
my Hindi teacher.
She sings really well.

01:11:20.521 --> 01:11:22.396 align:center
And that man over there is her husband.

01:11:22.771 --> 01:11:25.146 align:center
These are all his paintings.

01:11:30.480 --> 01:11:32.230 align:center
She really does look like an angel.

01:11:33.605 --> 01:11:34.563 align:center
Stop drooling.

01:12:01.313 --> 01:12:02.230 align:center
Hello.

01:12:10.646 --> 01:12:11.521 align:center
Hi.

01:12:11.605 --> 01:12:12.521 align:center
Do you like my artwork?

01:12:16.688 --> 01:12:18.230 align:center
You have very nice paintings.

01:12:18.313 --> 01:12:19.230 align:center
Thank you.

01:12:22.480 --> 01:12:23.646 align:center
- What?
- I just realized

01:12:24.021 --> 01:12:28.063 align:center
it's hard to look someone
in the eye when they're taller than you.

01:12:28.146 --> 01:12:30.355 align:center
- Sorry, what?
- Height, height.

01:12:33.521 --> 01:12:36.980 align:center
- Looking for someone?
- Yeah, my favorite painting.

01:12:38.646 --> 01:12:39.521 align:center
Okay.

01:13:34.896 --> 01:13:37.063 align:center
Viji, is that Sathya?

01:13:48.730 --> 01:13:50.688 align:center
Oh, my God!
Look at the way he's admiring you!

01:13:52.605 --> 01:13:55.688 align:center
It's the first time he's seeing me
in a <i>lehenga.</i>

01:13:59.438 --> 01:14:00.605 align:center
He's melting!

01:14:09.438 --> 01:14:11.646 align:center
- Put the bags in the car.
- Sure, ma'am.

01:14:12.563 --> 01:14:13.563 align:center
- Bro, go get the umbrella.
- Viji.

01:14:18.063 --> 01:14:18.938 align:center
Please sit.

01:14:20.855 --> 01:14:23.313 align:center
So, Sathya,
has Viji mentioned me?

01:14:23.730 --> 01:14:26.980 align:center
Yeah, she was just talking about you,
but then…

01:14:27.063 --> 01:14:28.938 align:center
And then what?
I interrupted

01:14:29.021 --> 01:14:30.938 align:center
- like a total buzzkill?
- No, not at all.

01:14:32.646 --> 01:14:33.980 align:center
Viji was my student.

01:14:34.646 --> 01:14:37.355 align:center
She lived in our building
when she was in school.

01:14:37.980 --> 01:14:40.521 align:center
I used to call her Radha.

01:14:41.021 --> 01:14:42.355 align:center
I don't even know why.

01:14:43.521 --> 01:14:45.313 align:center
You used to come to my Hindi classes

01:14:45.396 --> 01:14:46.313 align:center
- back then, right?
- Yes.

01:14:46.813 --> 01:14:49.771 align:center
- Remember any of it?
- Yes.

01:14:50.188 --> 01:14:51.771 align:center
She's taught me a bit of Hindi too.

01:14:51.855 --> 01:14:52.730 align:center
You…

01:14:52.896 --> 01:14:55.771 align:center
Hey, that sounds like
some kind of code word.

01:14:55.980 --> 01:14:57.521 align:center
No, no, it's nothing.

01:15:00.563 --> 01:15:03.105 align:center
- Okay, I'm running late for my flight.
- Okay, ma'am.

01:15:03.188 --> 01:15:04.646 align:center
- I'll leave now.
- Okay.

01:15:05.230 --> 01:15:06.855 align:center
Do you want me to drop you somewhere?

01:15:06.938 --> 01:15:08.980 align:center
- No.
- I have my bike. I'll manage.

01:15:09.313 --> 01:15:10.730 align:center
In this rain?

01:15:10.980 --> 01:15:12.521 align:center
And it's a pretty long way, isn't it?

01:15:12.938 --> 01:15:13.938 align:center
Let's do one thing.

01:15:14.646 --> 01:15:16.063 align:center
- Pooja.
- One second.

01:15:17.271 --> 01:15:18.396 align:center
When is our checkout?

01:15:18.855 --> 01:15:19.813 align:center
Tomorrow at 11 a.m.

01:15:20.146 --> 01:15:21.605 align:center
- Okay, give me my key.
- Yes.

01:15:22.521 --> 01:15:23.771 align:center
- Thank you.
- It's okay, ma'am.

01:15:24.771 --> 01:15:27.313 align:center
This is my room key.
You can use it.

01:15:28.730 --> 01:15:30.688 align:center
- We're leaving anyway, so…
- But…

01:15:31.105 --> 01:15:34.355 align:center
freshen up, grab something to eat,
and relax for a bit, okay?

01:15:35.021 --> 01:15:36.480 align:center
No, it's okay.
We'll manage.

01:15:36.563 --> 01:15:38.271 align:center
- It's okay.
- Don't be so formal with me.

01:15:39.355 --> 01:15:41.063 align:center
Do you like the <i>lehenga?</i>

01:15:42.355 --> 01:15:43.271 align:center
It's beautiful.

01:15:43.396 --> 01:15:45.896 align:center
I called you here to give you this.

01:15:48.480 --> 01:15:51.230 align:center
Okay, dear, I'll get going.
Stay in touch.

01:15:51.521 --> 01:15:53.230 align:center
- It was nice meeting you.
- Nice meeting you.

01:15:55.396 --> 01:15:56.271 align:center
Bye.

01:15:56.480 --> 01:15:57.355 align:center
Bye.

01:16:31.355 --> 01:16:32.230 align:center
I was…

01:16:32.771 --> 01:16:33.688 align:center
The bag…

01:16:35.980 --> 01:16:37.105 align:center
I'll just use the restroom.

01:16:38.896 --> 01:16:39.896 align:center
Oh, no.

01:16:51.646 --> 01:16:53.480 align:center
Yes, Mom.
She was really nice to me.

01:16:53.563 --> 01:16:56.480 align:center
She even gave me a beautiful <i>lehenga.</i>

01:16:56.980 --> 01:16:58.230 align:center
I'm wearing it now.

01:17:00.646 --> 01:17:02.271 align:center
Yes, I came with a friend.

01:17:02.771 --> 01:17:04.480 align:center
Sathya…
I've told you about him.

01:17:05.938 --> 01:17:07.063 align:center
Anyway, did you eat?

01:17:08.771 --> 01:17:12.355 align:center
Okay then, go get some sleep.
I'll get home safe.

01:17:13.063 --> 01:17:14.021 align:center
Bye.

01:17:15.730 --> 01:17:16.688 align:center
What are you doing?

01:17:18.063 --> 01:17:19.021 align:center
Hey!

01:17:22.521 --> 01:17:24.980 align:center
Viji, do you remember?

01:17:25.938 --> 01:17:27.605 align:center
Before we started dating,

01:17:27.896 --> 01:17:31.271 align:center
when you'd travel home
late at night in an auto-rickshaw,

01:17:31.813 --> 01:17:36.605 align:center
I told you to act like
you were calling home.

01:17:36.896 --> 01:17:42.730 align:center
To tell your mom when you'd get home
and give her the license plate number.

01:17:43.063 --> 01:17:46.896 align:center
I told you to do that so the driver
wouldn't mess with you.

01:17:48.563 --> 01:17:50.771 align:center
But I never imagined…

01:17:52.355 --> 01:17:54.563 align:center
you'd use that trick on me.

01:17:56.271 --> 01:17:57.313 align:center
What are you even saying?

01:17:58.438 --> 01:17:59.355 align:center
I don't get it.

01:18:00.105 --> 01:18:01.271 align:center
Be honest with me.

01:18:01.980 --> 01:18:03.313 align:center
Was that really your mom?

01:18:06.396 --> 01:18:07.271 align:center
No.

01:18:08.146 --> 01:18:09.063 align:center
Why, Viji?

01:18:10.313 --> 01:18:12.396 align:center
Are you ever going to trust me?

01:18:16.396 --> 01:18:17.313 align:center
How could I?

01:18:19.521 --> 01:18:21.813 align:center
The moment we got the room key,
where did you run off to?

01:18:23.563 --> 01:18:24.521 align:center
What's in your pocket?

01:18:30.313 --> 01:18:31.271 align:center
See for yourself.

01:18:34.896 --> 01:18:36.646 align:center
There was a stall downstairs.

01:18:37.688 --> 01:18:41.521 align:center
I saw these earrings and thought
they'd match your dress perfectly.

01:18:50.605 --> 01:18:51.730 align:center
Why do you do this?

01:18:52.271 --> 01:18:54.438 align:center
Why do you always
get me something?

01:18:58.980 --> 01:19:01.146 align:center
Do you always have to
bring a gift?

01:19:02.938 --> 01:19:06.980 align:center
I want everything around you
to remind you of me, Viji.

01:19:07.563 --> 01:19:10.105 align:center
To me, that's a real achievement.

01:19:13.480 --> 01:19:15.105 align:center
I am not your "achievement," Sathya.

01:19:15.813 --> 01:19:18.355 align:center
I'm not your trophy,
please understand that.

01:19:28.813 --> 01:19:30.521 align:center
I'm fighting to become an IAS officer.

01:19:31.063 --> 01:19:33.021 align:center
You need to find something
to fight for, too.

01:19:33.813 --> 01:19:35.230 align:center
Set a goal and go for it!

01:19:35.855 --> 01:19:37.230 align:center
There won't be time
for any of this then.

01:19:47.646 --> 01:19:49.063 align:center
We aren't the same anymore, Viji.

01:19:50.230 --> 01:19:51.855 align:center
I wake you up,

01:19:53.021 --> 01:19:54.605 align:center
I take you places you want to go,

01:19:56.355 --> 01:20:01.230 align:center
yet sometimes you just leave
without looking back.

01:20:03.563 --> 01:20:05.313 align:center
Don't get me wrong.

01:20:06.021 --> 01:20:07.021 align:center
But lately,

01:20:07.730 --> 01:20:11.396 align:center
I feel more like your driver.

01:20:14.438 --> 01:20:16.438 align:center
I'm not interested
in anything else, Viji.

01:20:17.480 --> 01:20:19.355 align:center
I just want to see you,
talk to you,

01:20:19.980 --> 01:20:21.563 align:center
make you laugh,
and make you think of us.

01:20:22.271 --> 01:20:25.063 align:center
When I get you something like this,

01:20:25.396 --> 01:20:28.188 align:center
you kiss me and hold me tight.

01:20:28.813 --> 01:20:29.771 align:center
That's enough for me!

01:20:30.521 --> 01:20:33.396 align:center
To me, that's love.

01:20:35.146 --> 01:20:38.146 align:center
I can't think beyond that.

01:20:44.771 --> 01:20:45.646 align:center
Fine.

01:20:46.563 --> 01:20:48.605 align:center
You say you can't think beyond this.

01:20:50.855 --> 01:20:51.938 align:center
Then don't.

01:20:53.021 --> 01:20:53.980 align:center
Just see what "this" actually is.

01:20:54.938 --> 01:20:56.021 align:center
What are you even saying, Viji?

01:20:57.063 --> 01:20:57.980 align:center
Stop blabbering.

01:20:58.896 --> 01:21:00.063 align:center
I'm serious, Sathya.

01:21:01.438 --> 01:21:03.230 align:center
Holding hands and touching shoulders
as we walk,

01:21:03.688 --> 01:21:05.438 align:center
riding over speed bumps,

01:21:05.938 --> 01:21:07.855 align:center
sharing a drink with two straws,

01:21:08.188 --> 01:21:10.521 align:center
choosing corner seats at the theater,

01:21:10.771 --> 01:21:11.730 align:center
what is it all for?

01:21:13.813 --> 01:21:16.146 align:center
It's just a way to savor love
in small bits, isn't it?

01:21:17.896 --> 01:21:19.271 align:center
Thinking about what it is,
how it feels,

01:21:20.063 --> 01:21:21.480 align:center
whether you can see it
or feel it,

01:21:21.771 --> 01:21:24.396 align:center
where to meet next,
how to move forward,

01:21:24.980 --> 01:21:28.396 align:center
these thoughts take over everything,
don't they?

01:21:31.938 --> 01:21:33.230 align:center
So let's see what it is today.

01:21:34.855 --> 01:21:35.771 align:center
No, Viji.

01:21:36.646 --> 01:21:37.521 align:center
Stop.

01:21:38.063 --> 01:21:39.271 align:center
Let's just leave.

01:21:40.021 --> 01:21:40.896 align:center
What now?

01:21:41.313 --> 01:21:42.896 align:center
Are you about to give me the
"wait till marriage" speech?

01:21:45.230 --> 01:21:46.396 align:center
I don't believe in all that.

01:21:47.813 --> 01:21:50.771 align:center
Does it really matter
if it's before or after marriage?

01:21:52.105 --> 01:21:53.021 align:center
Are you coming,

01:21:53.771 --> 01:21:54.771 align:center
or should I just leave?

01:22:08.146 --> 01:22:10.271 align:center
I don't think you really mean
any of this, Viji.

01:22:10.980 --> 01:22:12.271 align:center
This feels wrong.

01:22:12.605 --> 01:22:14.813 align:center
Only the mind knows
right from wrong.

01:22:15.230 --> 01:22:16.188 align:center
But the heart

01:22:16.896 --> 01:22:18.855 align:center
only knows whether it wants it or not.

01:22:19.938 --> 01:22:21.521 align:center
What does your heart want, Sathya?

01:22:22.896 --> 01:22:24.063 align:center
Do whatever you want,

01:22:25.105 --> 01:22:26.271 align:center
my heart's just not in it.

01:22:26.980 --> 01:22:27.855 align:center
Let's go.

01:22:32.313 --> 01:22:33.230 align:center
I'm leaving.

01:22:45.105 --> 01:22:47.605 align:center
<i>I don't know whether what Viji</i>
<i>said was right or wrong…</i>

01:22:49.063 --> 01:22:52.980 align:center
<i>but it felt wrong to just</i>
<i>leave her like this every time.</i>

01:23:17.938 --> 01:23:19.313 align:center
Don't ever leave me.

01:23:26.063 --> 01:23:29.355 align:center
<i>Wild little longings live in my chest</i>

01:23:30.063 --> 01:23:33.230 align:center
<i>Silent passions glow in my eyes</i>

01:23:34.063 --> 01:23:37.396 align:center
<i>Wild little longings live in my chest</i>

01:23:38.063 --> 01:23:41.396 align:center
<i>Silent passions glow in my eyes</i>

01:23:41.855 --> 01:23:44.771 align:center
<i>In this golden hour we meet</i>

01:23:45.855 --> 01:23:48.813 align:center
<i>I dissolve in you so sweet</i>

01:23:49.813 --> 01:23:53.021 align:center
<i>Like a cloud of quiet desire</i>

01:23:53.771 --> 01:23:58.021 align:center
<i>Won't it speak without a fire?</i>

01:23:58.105 --> 01:24:01.313 align:center
<i>Will you come near me?</i>

01:24:02.063 --> 01:24:05.855 align:center
<i>Will you look into my eyes, my love?</i>

01:24:06.063 --> 01:24:09.313 align:center
<i>Will you come, slip into my fingers?</i>

01:24:10.063 --> 01:24:14.021 align:center
<i>Will you give yourself to me</i>
<i>Until I lose myself tonight?</i>

01:24:14.105 --> 01:24:17.355 align:center
<i>Wild little longings live in my chest</i>

01:24:18.063 --> 01:24:21.355 align:center
<i>Silent passions glow in my eyes</i>

01:24:22.063 --> 01:24:25.938 align:center
<i>Wild little longings live in my chest</i>

01:24:26.063 --> 01:24:29.396 align:center
<i>Silent passions glow in my eyes</i>

01:24:54.063 --> 01:24:57.063 align:center
<i>O moon of a tender summer eve</i>

01:24:58.063 --> 01:25:02.021 align:center
<i>Will you come share</i>
<i>The night with me, will you?</i>

01:25:02.105 --> 01:25:05.355 align:center
<i>Are you the sea</i>
<i>That moves in delight?</i>

01:25:06.021 --> 01:25:10.021 align:center
<i>Shall I rise like a high tide</i>
<i>And fall gracefully at your feet?</i>

01:25:10.105 --> 01:25:13.313 align:center
<i>Won't these kisses linger on?</i>

01:25:14.063 --> 01:25:17.313 align:center
<i>Aren't you the music of my bliss?</i>

01:25:18.063 --> 01:25:22.063 align:center
<i>Unfading desires held within</i>
<i>Never breaking past the line</i>

01:25:22.396 --> 01:25:25.480 align:center
<i>Still, a quiet bloom awakens inside</i>

01:25:26.063 --> 01:25:29.313 align:center
<i>Will you come near me?</i>

01:25:30.063 --> 01:25:33.938 align:center
<i>Will you look into my eyes, my love?</i>

01:25:34.063 --> 01:25:37.355 align:center
<i>Will you come, slip into my fingers?</i>

01:25:38.063 --> 01:25:41.980 align:center
<i>Will you give yourself to me</i>
<i>Until I lose myself tonight?</i>

01:25:42.063 --> 01:25:44.063 align:center
<i>Wild little longings…</i>

01:25:46.063 --> 01:25:48.271 align:center
<i>Silent passions…</i>

01:25:50.105 --> 01:25:53.938 align:center
<i>Wild little longings live in my chest</i>

01:25:54.063 --> 01:25:57.521 align:center
<i>Silent passions glow in my eyes</i>

01:25:57.855 --> 01:26:00.730 align:center
<i>In this golden hour we meet</i>

01:26:01.813 --> 01:26:04.813 align:center
<i>I dissolve in you so sweet</i>

01:26:05.855 --> 01:26:09.063 align:center
<i>Like a cloud of quiet desire</i>

01:26:09.771 --> 01:26:13.896 align:center
<i>Won't it speak without a fire?</i>

01:26:13.980 --> 01:26:15.980 align:center
<i>Will you?</i>

01:26:16.105 --> 01:26:18.021 align:center
<i>Wild little longings…</i>

01:26:18.105 --> 01:26:19.980 align:center
<i>Look at me?</i>

01:26:20.063 --> 01:26:22.021 align:center
<i>Silent passions…</i>

01:26:22.105 --> 01:26:23.938 align:center
<i>Come closer?</i>

01:26:24.105 --> 01:26:26.021 align:center
<i>Wild little longings…</i>

01:26:26.105 --> 01:26:27.980 align:center
<i>Give yourself?</i>

01:26:28.063 --> 01:26:31.521 align:center
<i>Silent passions…</i>

01:26:32.105 --> 01:26:33.313 align:center
<i>Look at me?</i>

01:26:36.105 --> 01:26:37.896 align:center
<i>Look at me, my love</i>

01:26:40.105 --> 01:26:41.355 align:center
<i>Give yourself?</i>

01:26:44.063 --> 01:26:47.813 align:center
<i>Give yourself, my love</i>

01:26:55.688 --> 01:26:56.563 align:center
Hey…

01:26:57.521 --> 01:26:59.980 align:center
I feel a poem coming on.

01:27:00.521 --> 01:27:01.438 align:center
Can I tell you?

01:27:03.396 --> 01:27:05.313 align:center
Every place your touch--

01:27:19.188 --> 01:27:21.980 align:center
<i>That was the last day</i>
<i>we were truly happy together.</i>

01:27:23.188 --> 01:27:25.105 align:center
<i>Viji went back to studying,</i>

01:27:25.896 --> 01:27:28.605 align:center
<i>and I, without a plan,</i>
<i>quit my job.</i>

01:27:29.480 --> 01:27:33.313 align:center
#08 LOVE IS HEART OVERSTEPPING BOUNDS

01:27:33.563 --> 01:27:35.855 align:center
Hey, stop, stop. Pull over.

01:27:35.938 --> 01:27:37.021 align:center
CELEBRATING MINISTER
PUNNIYAKODI'S 52ND BIRTHDAY

01:27:40.188 --> 01:27:41.521 align:center
Why are you standing here, Dad?

01:27:41.646 --> 01:27:42.938 align:center
At least we're here.

01:27:43.105 --> 01:27:45.771 align:center
They didn't even let
an old man onto the street.

01:27:45.980 --> 01:27:46.855 align:center
S.M. PUNNIYAKODI
WATER RESOURCES MINISTER

01:27:46.938 --> 01:27:49.355 align:center
- Hurry, the minister is here!
- Just a minute.

01:27:50.771 --> 01:27:53.355 align:center
- Sir, sir…
- Wait, stop the car.

01:27:53.605 --> 01:27:54.605 align:center
Sir, sir…

01:27:54.896 --> 01:27:57.105 align:center
Our lake became a dump yard, sir.

01:27:57.188 --> 01:27:58.896 align:center
If you please clean it,
we'll somehow survive.

01:27:59.230 --> 01:28:00.980 align:center
Only you can help us, sir.

01:28:01.146 --> 01:28:03.438 align:center
I can help you clean the lake.
What about the rains?

01:28:03.563 --> 01:28:04.980 align:center
I can't help you with that, right?

01:28:05.105 --> 01:28:06.480 align:center
For that, you need the Rain God's help.

01:28:06.563 --> 01:28:09.021 align:center
We could've voted for
the Rain God instead.

01:28:09.146 --> 01:28:11.438 align:center
- Shut your mouth. Go!
- Hey, get going.

01:28:13.730 --> 01:28:16.438 align:center
You waited all this time for that?

01:28:16.688 --> 01:28:18.313 align:center
I don't trust that man.

01:28:19.188 --> 01:28:21.105 align:center
Ask him to call Viji.

01:28:21.605 --> 01:28:24.396 align:center
I bought her a sari.
Let's just give it to her and leave.

01:28:24.896 --> 01:28:25.771 align:center
Call her, dear.

01:28:25.896 --> 01:28:28.355 align:center
She said she'll meet us
at the park nearby.

01:28:28.855 --> 01:28:30.230 align:center
We'll wait there.

01:28:30.563 --> 01:28:31.521 align:center
Let's go.

01:28:31.938 --> 01:28:33.146 align:center
We have to catch the train
on time.

01:28:36.021 --> 01:28:37.521 align:center
Why don't you sit on the bench?

01:28:37.896 --> 01:28:39.563 align:center
That doesn't suit me.
I will sit here.

01:28:40.105 --> 01:28:42.605 align:center
Look, it's pouring like a waterfall.

01:28:42.688 --> 01:28:44.105 align:center
We don't have
this kind of water back home.

01:28:44.188 --> 01:28:46.855 align:center
It's just the same water recirculating.

01:28:47.063 --> 01:28:50.355 align:center
Look at him, acting like
he's never seen water in his life.

01:28:51.438 --> 01:28:52.521 align:center
Bye-bye.

01:28:52.688 --> 01:28:53.980 align:center
She'll be here, Dad.

01:28:54.605 --> 01:28:57.480 align:center
Let her take her time.
Why are you getting so nervous?

01:28:57.813 --> 01:28:59.021 align:center
Come, sit here.

01:29:19.271 --> 01:29:21.438 align:center
She started it here, too.

01:29:27.105 --> 01:29:28.105 align:center
Pick it all up.

01:29:31.355 --> 01:29:33.521 align:center
Why is she doing all this
when she's sick?

01:29:34.105 --> 01:29:35.021 align:center
Hey!

01:29:35.521 --> 01:29:37.105 align:center
You know how she is, right?

01:30:04.438 --> 01:30:06.813 align:center
- This color will suit her well, right?
- Correct!

01:30:08.146 --> 01:30:09.980 align:center
Listen, we'll be leaving soon.

01:30:10.521 --> 01:30:13.105 align:center
Can't you at least
speak a few words to him now?

01:30:14.521 --> 01:30:17.896 align:center
- What is it, dear?
- Her phone is switched off, Dad.

01:30:18.563 --> 01:30:20.021 align:center
I think something's wrong.

01:30:20.813 --> 01:30:22.605 align:center
Should we wait in my room?

01:30:22.896 --> 01:30:24.021 align:center
We're already
running late for the train.

01:30:24.105 --> 01:30:26.355 align:center
And our people have
already called a thousand times.

01:30:26.438 --> 01:30:28.271 align:center
We have to leave now
to catch the train.

01:30:28.730 --> 01:30:29.688 align:center
Just a second.

01:30:30.896 --> 01:30:31.771 align:center
Here.

01:30:31.855 --> 01:30:34.021 align:center
Your mom bought this for her.

01:30:34.605 --> 01:30:35.980 align:center
Give it to her yourself.

01:30:36.563 --> 01:30:38.021 align:center
- We're leaving.
- Okay.

01:30:38.105 --> 01:30:39.730 align:center
- Let's go, dear.
- Should I get you an auto-rickshaw?

01:30:39.813 --> 01:30:40.813 align:center
No need, dear.

01:30:41.563 --> 01:30:42.521 align:center
Dad…

01:30:55.480 --> 01:30:57.605 align:center
What is it, Mom?
Why are you looking at me like that?

01:30:58.313 --> 01:30:59.730 align:center
Just looking at the future Collector.

01:31:00.813 --> 01:31:02.563 align:center
It's already late. Go to sleep.

01:31:03.188 --> 01:31:05.563 align:center
- Alright, good night.
- Good night, Mom.

01:31:29.521 --> 01:31:30.938 align:center
WE ARE WAITING AT THE PARK.
COME FAST, VIJI.

01:31:31.021 --> 01:31:32.605 align:center
WHERE ARE YOU?
PICK UP THE PHONE, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

01:31:32.688 --> 01:31:34.271 align:center
DON'T INSULT ME IN FRONT OF
MY MOM AND DAD. COME FAST.

01:31:34.355 --> 01:31:36.063 align:center
IF YOU ARE NOT HERE IN 10 MINUTES,
I'LL BE AT YOUR HOME.

01:31:36.146 --> 01:31:37.980 align:center
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 align:center
YOU GAINED MY TRUST LIKE THIS
AND THEN ENDED UP BETRAYING ME.

01:31:40.021 --> 01:31:41.688 align:center
NO MATTER HOW LATE IT GETS,
I'M NOT LEAVING HERE UNTIL YOU SHOW UP.

01:31:41.771 --> 01:31:45.396 align:center
AM I IMPORTANT TO YOU,
OR ARE YOUR STUDIES?

01:32:12.063 --> 01:32:15.021 align:center
Sorry, sorry! I'm sorry.

01:32:15.438 --> 01:32:16.313 align:center
I'm sorry, <i>da.</i>

01:32:17.271 --> 01:32:18.938 align:center
I'm really sorry.

01:32:20.896 --> 01:32:22.438 align:center
I remembered it as recently as yesterday.

01:32:22.980 --> 01:32:24.188 align:center
I don't know how it slipped my mind.

01:32:24.730 --> 01:32:26.521 align:center
I'm sorry, sorry.

01:32:27.646 --> 01:32:28.521 align:center
I'm sorry.

01:32:31.438 --> 01:32:32.730 align:center
Sorry, please.

01:32:36.938 --> 01:32:38.230 align:center
Did your mom feel bad?

01:32:41.813 --> 01:32:43.480 align:center
You used to call her "aunt,"

01:32:44.105 --> 01:32:46.313 align:center
and now you're asking
if "my mom" felt bad.

01:32:47.896 --> 01:32:49.146 align:center
How would you even remember?

01:33:05.688 --> 01:33:07.438 align:center
Aunt gave this?

01:33:26.980 --> 01:33:28.355 align:center
I'm trying to apologize.

01:33:29.521 --> 01:33:30.771 align:center
You think I did this on purpose?

01:33:31.146 --> 01:33:32.230 align:center
That's how it looks.

01:33:33.188 --> 01:33:34.313 align:center
If I did this on purpose,

01:33:34.938 --> 01:33:36.813 align:center
would I be here begging you

01:33:37.396 --> 01:33:40.188 align:center
with an exam just four hours away?

01:33:41.438 --> 01:33:42.396 align:center
Sorry, Sathya!

01:33:43.813 --> 01:33:47.105 align:center
The exam is making me
anxious and stressed.

01:33:48.730 --> 01:33:50.646 align:center
I've lost track of the day and time.

01:33:52.313 --> 01:33:53.938 align:center
Even if today were my birthday,
I would've forgotten.

01:33:54.021 --> 01:33:55.521 align:center
I would've remembered, Viji!

01:33:57.271 --> 01:33:58.605 align:center
I would've remembered it.

01:34:01.396 --> 01:34:02.271 align:center
Right!

01:34:04.146 --> 01:34:05.146 align:center
I…

01:34:05.813 --> 01:34:09.521 align:center
I don't know how to deal with guys.

01:34:11.605 --> 01:34:12.605 align:center
My world…

01:34:12.938 --> 01:34:15.563 align:center
It never had a man in it.

01:34:16.146 --> 01:34:19.146 align:center
Girls school, girls hostel,
women's college…

01:34:19.438 --> 01:34:20.730 align:center
I was always around girls.

01:34:21.896 --> 01:34:24.896 align:center
Maybe if I had grown up watching

01:34:25.021 --> 01:34:27.605 align:center
my parents talk and communicate…

01:34:29.938 --> 01:34:31.021 align:center
I would've known better.

01:34:35.021 --> 01:34:35.896 align:center
But…

01:34:36.563 --> 01:34:37.521 align:center
my dad…

01:34:38.355 --> 01:34:42.021 align:center
left us when I was just a little kid.

01:34:50.230 --> 01:34:51.188 align:center
Sorry.

01:34:51.938 --> 01:34:54.271 align:center
Sorry, sorry, sorry.

01:34:55.980 --> 01:34:57.980 align:center
Don't take this the wrong way, Viji.

01:35:00.105 --> 01:35:01.855 align:center
If your mother is anything like you,

01:35:02.771 --> 01:35:05.313 align:center
your dad did the right thing
by leaving you two.

01:36:11.813 --> 01:36:14.730 align:center
You quit your job, ran your mouth,

01:36:15.355 --> 01:36:16.521 align:center
and now you want to drink
in broad daylight?

01:36:17.396 --> 01:36:18.896 align:center
Don't do it, it'll destroy you.

01:36:20.438 --> 01:36:22.605 align:center
I know this is wrong.

01:36:24.563 --> 01:36:26.605 align:center
She asks me to
achieve something in life.

01:36:27.563 --> 01:36:29.646 align:center
I'm already 29.

01:36:30.813 --> 01:36:32.605 align:center
You've left the job, what's next?

01:36:33.646 --> 01:36:34.896 align:center
- I don't know.
- Bro,

01:36:35.230 --> 01:36:39.480 align:center
I think someone spooked her
with a failed love story.

01:36:39.896 --> 01:36:41.813 align:center
That's why she's scared of love.
What do you think?

01:36:41.896 --> 01:36:45.938 align:center
It's you who confused her
with your love story.

01:36:46.063 --> 01:36:48.355 align:center
- Get lost.
- Okay, sorry. Leave it.

01:37:07.605 --> 01:37:09.438 align:center
<i>If your mother is anything like you,</i>

01:37:09.771 --> 01:37:12.313 align:center
<i>your dad did the right thing</i>
<i>by leaving you two.</i>

01:37:19.438 --> 01:37:20.355 align:center
Excuse me!

01:37:20.438 --> 01:37:22.521 align:center
<i>She doesn't have to love me</i>
<i>the way I love her.</i>

01:37:23.271 --> 01:37:24.855 align:center
But she can at least acknowledge my love.

01:37:25.230 --> 01:37:26.355 align:center
Yeah, I get it.

01:37:27.313 --> 01:37:29.563 align:center
- But look, she--
- I left my job too.

01:37:30.688 --> 01:37:32.855 align:center
I don't know what to do next.

01:37:33.355 --> 01:37:38.105 align:center
I got furious when she didn't
show up yesterday to meet my mom.

01:37:39.688 --> 01:37:42.521 align:center
Maybe I should meet her and say

01:37:42.605 --> 01:37:45.646 align:center
I won't disturb her
until her exams are over?

01:37:46.063 --> 01:37:47.063 align:center
She has to succeed.

01:37:52.563 --> 01:37:54.813 align:center
- It's Viji!
- Hey, look at that smile.

01:38:07.355 --> 01:38:08.313 align:center
Take me home.

01:38:19.896 --> 01:38:20.813 align:center
Viji?

01:38:23.771 --> 01:38:25.771 align:center
Mom has gone to her hometown.
Drop me at the gate.

01:38:32.896 --> 01:38:33.980 align:center
Come inside, Sathya.

01:38:41.230 --> 01:38:42.396 align:center
Close the door behind you.

01:39:12.521 --> 01:39:13.438 align:center
Sorry, dear.

01:39:27.396 --> 01:39:28.438 align:center
<i>I love you, Sathya.</i>

01:39:29.063 --> 01:39:30.605 align:center
<i>I'm going to hurt</i>
<i>you with my words.</i>

01:39:31.688 --> 01:39:32.563 align:center
<i>Bear with me,</i>

01:39:33.105 --> 01:39:34.396 align:center
<i>I don't know any other way.</i>

01:39:36.438 --> 01:39:37.313 align:center
Just leave, Sathya.

01:39:45.771 --> 01:39:46.938 align:center
I've thought this through.

01:39:49.313 --> 01:39:50.313 align:center
We should break up.

01:39:52.646 --> 01:39:54.521 align:center
I called you home for the first time.

01:39:55.688 --> 01:39:57.855 align:center
And you couldn't understand why?

01:39:58.230 --> 01:39:59.605 align:center
You just walk in and hug me.

01:40:01.980 --> 01:40:03.021 align:center
What are you trying to say, Viji?

01:40:04.021 --> 01:40:06.855 align:center
Do you think a girl inviting you over
when she's alone…

01:40:08.480 --> 01:40:10.521 align:center
can only mean one thing?

01:40:13.146 --> 01:40:14.188 align:center
Is that all you are, Sathya?

01:40:16.313 --> 01:40:18.896 align:center
I told you to stop being like this
and stop chasing me.

01:40:19.521 --> 01:40:22.313 align:center
I kept pushing you to achieve something,

01:40:22.896 --> 01:40:24.813 align:center
and I flunked my exam.

01:40:29.771 --> 01:40:32.021 align:center
All the pressure you put on me
over little things

01:40:32.271 --> 01:40:34.813 align:center
stressed me out,
and I fainted during the exam.

01:40:35.563 --> 01:40:37.855 align:center
They took me to the hospital,
put me on an IV, and sent me home.

01:40:41.813 --> 01:40:44.813 align:center
Just like that, a whole year is gone.

01:40:49.271 --> 01:40:51.980 align:center
Mom went to the village
to pray to our family deity

01:40:52.438 --> 01:40:54.646 align:center
and called to ask how the exam went.

01:40:55.438 --> 01:40:56.896 align:center
I acted as I did well.

01:40:56.980 --> 01:40:58.271 align:center
I lied to my mom.

01:41:17.396 --> 01:41:18.813 align:center
I got a job in Delhi.

01:41:19.396 --> 01:41:20.355 align:center
I'm going to work there

01:41:20.521 --> 01:41:21.896 align:center
and join IAS coaching.

01:41:23.021 --> 01:41:24.230 align:center
I'm taking my mother with me.

01:41:24.980 --> 01:41:26.230 align:center
I called you just to tell you this.

01:41:27.646 --> 01:41:29.230 align:center
Had I told you on the street,
you'd have started yelling.

01:41:29.938 --> 01:41:30.980 align:center
That's why I brought you home.

01:41:36.688 --> 01:41:38.855 align:center
I've got nothing left to give you.

01:41:47.230 --> 01:41:53.730 align:center
I troubled you a lot just so
I could always stay in your memory.

01:41:54.813 --> 01:41:56.646 align:center
But you moved beyond all that, Viji.

01:41:58.438 --> 01:42:00.271 align:center
For you to even think of me,

01:42:00.730 --> 01:42:02.271 align:center
I'd have to be a chapter in your book

01:42:02.646 --> 01:42:06.355 align:center
or a question on an exam.

01:42:12.438 --> 01:42:17.313 align:center
You never asked me for anything.

01:42:18.521 --> 01:42:20.355 align:center
But I would always bring you something.

01:42:21.730 --> 01:42:23.938 align:center
Today, I showed up empty-handed,

01:42:25.438 --> 01:42:27.063 align:center
but you asked me for something.

01:42:30.646 --> 01:42:32.355 align:center
If this is really what you want…

01:42:36.605 --> 01:42:37.730 align:center
then let's just end it, Viji.

01:42:39.146 --> 01:42:40.021 align:center
Let's end it!

01:42:47.730 --> 01:42:48.646 align:center
Have a good life!

01:43:23.396 --> 01:43:27.563 align:center
#09 THE DANCE OF FIRE

01:44:18.855 --> 01:44:19.771 align:center
What the hell are you doing?

01:44:19.980 --> 01:44:21.021 align:center
Is this even a problem?

01:44:21.146 --> 01:44:23.105 align:center
Listen to me, please don't.

01:44:25.646 --> 01:44:27.396 align:center
Why the hell did you
beat up a professor?

01:44:27.896 --> 01:44:29.021 align:center
You're going to end up in jail.

01:44:29.438 --> 01:44:31.230 align:center
He takes inappropriate
photos of girls,

01:44:31.980 --> 01:44:33.480 align:center
and I'm just
supposed to let it slide?

01:44:33.646 --> 01:44:35.063 align:center
Is that any of your business?

01:44:36.313 --> 01:44:38.355 align:center
We've had nothing but trouble
since we moved to Salem.

01:44:38.813 --> 01:44:39.980 align:center
There's a new problem every day.

01:44:41.188 --> 01:44:42.813 align:center
Why do you care if they
cut down a tree on your street?

01:44:43.730 --> 01:44:45.438 align:center
Why do you have to protest
and put up posters?

01:44:46.521 --> 01:44:47.438 align:center
Why do you have to file lawsuits, man?

01:44:48.896 --> 01:44:51.021 align:center
As if that wasn't enough, you started
Citizen Forum, gathered some guys,

01:44:51.105 --> 01:44:52.563 align:center
and now you're pulling weeds,
claiming to clean the lake.

01:44:53.605 --> 01:44:54.563 align:center
"Pulling weeds."

01:44:56.021 --> 01:44:56.938 align:center
You think this is funny?

01:44:58.438 --> 01:44:59.521 align:center
Pulling weeds is easy.

01:44:59.896 --> 01:45:02.355 align:center
What are you going to do about that
college built right on top of the lake?

01:45:02.646 --> 01:45:07.313 align:center
I'll ask them to return the land
they grabbed to build the college.

01:45:07.396 --> 01:45:09.230 align:center
Oh, and they'll just hand it over?

01:45:09.396 --> 01:45:11.188 align:center
You think you're the District Collector,
ordering people around?

01:45:12.938 --> 01:45:14.146 align:center
I'm not a Collector, man.

01:45:14.896 --> 01:45:15.813 align:center
I'm an activist.

01:45:16.146 --> 01:45:17.105 align:center
Can I tell you something?

01:45:18.021 --> 01:45:19.188 align:center
Your problem isn't with anyone here.

01:45:20.105 --> 01:45:20.980 align:center
Then?

01:45:22.271 --> 01:45:23.146 align:center
Viji!

01:45:24.688 --> 01:45:25.563 align:center
No way.

01:45:25.813 --> 01:45:27.230 align:center
I'm telling you, it's Viji.

01:45:27.605 --> 01:45:28.563 align:center
No, bro.

01:45:28.813 --> 01:45:31.230 align:center
You're lashing out at everyone here
because of her.

01:45:31.605 --> 01:45:32.563 align:center
No, that's not it!

01:45:33.105 --> 01:45:35.563 align:center
She's the one fueling all this rage.

01:45:35.688 --> 01:45:37.063 align:center
Why are you reminding me about her?

01:45:45.188 --> 01:45:46.146 align:center
His name is Sathya.

01:45:47.271 --> 01:45:50.563 align:center
I told you he's the one
who messed with me at the wedding.

01:45:51.563 --> 01:45:54.313 align:center
Today, he came to our college
and had the guts to hit our guy.

01:45:54.730 --> 01:45:58.980 align:center
And he's joined the townspeople
in adopting and preserving the lake.

01:45:59.271 --> 01:46:03.146 align:center
If he succeeds,
our college will be in serious trouble.

01:46:03.688 --> 01:46:05.146 align:center
That's why I wanted to finish him
back then,

01:46:05.813 --> 01:46:07.271 align:center
but you shut me down.

01:46:08.480 --> 01:46:10.271 align:center
I'm not asking you to stop.

01:46:10.646 --> 01:46:12.021 align:center
I'm just asking you to wait.

01:46:13.313 --> 01:46:15.396 align:center
I built this empire with no help.

01:46:16.605 --> 01:46:19.480 align:center
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 align:center
His time will come.

01:46:24.063 --> 01:46:26.521 align:center
He said I have no identity,
and that I--

01:46:27.313 --> 01:46:29.188 align:center
That I'm just
living off my dad's wealth.

01:46:30.730 --> 01:46:32.896 align:center
Now, I'll make sure he has no identity.

01:46:33.938 --> 01:46:36.230 align:center
- Give this file to Udhayashankar.
- Okay, sir.

01:46:37.355 --> 01:46:38.313 align:center
The Collector is calling you.

01:46:40.688 --> 01:46:41.563 align:center
Not everyone.

01:46:42.021 --> 01:46:42.896 align:center
Just you.

01:46:46.480 --> 01:46:48.438 align:center
All this time, it was your mother
who brought these petitions.

01:46:48.521 --> 01:46:49.730 align:center
Now it's you.

01:46:49.813 --> 01:46:50.855 align:center
What have you studied?

01:46:50.980 --> 01:46:52.063 align:center
B.Sc. Agriculture.

01:46:52.271 --> 01:46:54.355 align:center
Then why not just do farming

01:46:54.438 --> 01:46:56.105 align:center
instead of creating
problems with this crowd?

01:46:57.230 --> 01:47:01.146 align:center
My parents made me study agriculture
because they wanted me to farm.

01:47:01.855 --> 01:47:05.605 align:center
Only after graduating did I realize
that my college is on the lake.

01:47:05.813 --> 01:47:07.855 align:center
Ma'am, apparently,
there was a lake in that place.

01:47:08.063 --> 01:47:09.271 align:center
"Apparently"?

01:47:11.313 --> 01:47:13.646 align:center
I swam in that lake until tenth grade.

01:47:14.230 --> 01:47:17.063 align:center
That lake was the lifeline
for all the surrounding villages.

01:47:17.438 --> 01:47:19.938 align:center
If you turn the remaining lakes
into dumpsters

01:47:20.063 --> 01:47:21.771 align:center
instead of preserving them,

01:47:22.188 --> 01:47:23.271 align:center
where will these people go?

01:47:23.521 --> 01:47:25.855 align:center
You people are always quick
to blame the government.

01:47:26.105 --> 01:47:27.313 align:center
It's become a trend these days.

01:47:27.480 --> 01:47:31.646 align:center
How many lakes can the government
preserve with its funding?

01:47:31.730 --> 01:47:33.313 align:center
It's everyone's responsibility.

01:47:33.688 --> 01:47:36.605 align:center
Cleaning up a lake isn't easy.

01:47:36.980 --> 01:47:38.313 align:center
It's a Herculean task.

01:47:40.396 --> 01:47:43.521 align:center
- Why don't you try doing it?
- Give me an opportunity.

01:47:52.771 --> 01:47:54.396 align:center
We're adopting Aranganeri Lake.

01:47:55.980 --> 01:47:58.105 align:center
We are going to dredge it,
preserve it,

01:47:58.438 --> 01:48:00.438 align:center
<i>and bring it back to life in six months.</i>

01:48:00.730 --> 01:48:02.063 align:center
<i>From now on, it's ours.</i>

01:48:07.646 --> 01:48:08.980 align:center
Ever since Viji left,
you lost your composure.

01:48:10.230 --> 01:48:12.146 align:center
<i>Why do you want to clean that lake now?</i>

01:48:13.396 --> 01:48:14.980 align:center
I'm cleaning myself.

01:48:15.605 --> 01:48:16.605 align:center
I'm that lake.

01:48:16.938 --> 01:48:20.605 align:center
<i>My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart</i>

01:48:24.313 --> 01:48:28.105 align:center
<i>Oh, the arrow that pierced my heart</i>

01:48:32.105 --> 01:48:35.271 align:center
<i>My tears have filled an ocean</i>

01:48:35.730 --> 01:48:38.855 align:center
<i>I can't blame you</i>
<i>It wouldn't be right</i>

01:48:39.438 --> 01:48:42.855 align:center
<i>You're not here</i>
<i>To take me to the shore</i>

01:48:43.146 --> 01:48:46.146 align:center
<i>What am I supposed to tell my people?</i>

01:48:46.230 --> 01:48:49.855 align:center
<i>The moment you left, I faded away</i>

01:48:49.938 --> 01:48:53.396 align:center
<i>- I'm a version of me I never knew</i>
- We're from the same college, bro.

01:48:53.480 --> 01:48:55.688 align:center
We heard you're cleaning the lake.

01:48:55.896 --> 01:48:58.230 align:center
So we thought we could help out
at least on the weekends.

01:48:58.438 --> 01:48:59.313 align:center
I'm Jaanu.

01:48:59.396 --> 01:49:01.021 align:center
<i>Oh, my loving arrow</i>

01:49:01.230 --> 01:49:04.605 align:center
<i>My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart</i>

01:49:04.688 --> 01:49:08.313 align:center
<i>Oh, the arrow that pierced my heart</i>

01:49:08.396 --> 01:49:10.355 align:center
<i>- Oh, my loving arrow</i>
- Excuse me?

01:49:10.521 --> 01:49:12.063 align:center
Oh. Thank you.

01:49:12.480 --> 01:49:13.438 align:center
I'm Varun.

01:49:15.896 --> 01:49:16.855 align:center
Viji.

01:49:25.396 --> 01:49:26.396 align:center
What's up, Cutout?

01:49:26.521 --> 01:49:29.063 align:center
You think you can start farming
by saving this lake?

01:49:29.313 --> 01:49:31.896 align:center
Try to save yourself from this lake.

01:49:31.980 --> 01:49:34.855 align:center
Once the lake is back to form,
it'll come straight to your college.

01:49:35.063 --> 01:49:36.521 align:center
- You!
- Hey!

01:49:50.188 --> 01:49:51.480 align:center
We're staying here.

01:50:08.021 --> 01:50:08.980 align:center
Okay!

01:50:11.021 --> 01:50:13.271 align:center
Your son is back,
just like you wanted.

01:50:13.355 --> 01:50:16.438 align:center
He's also trying to save
the lake for you.

01:50:16.855 --> 01:50:18.480 align:center
Why don't you talk to him?

01:50:18.771 --> 01:50:20.063 align:center
He's not doing this for me.

01:50:20.646 --> 01:50:21.813 align:center
Not even for the town.

01:50:22.646 --> 01:50:23.813 align:center
He's doing it for that girl.

01:50:24.313 --> 01:50:27.605 align:center
<i>Oh, those piercing eyes</i>

01:50:28.021 --> 01:50:31.271 align:center
<i>She left me to suffer</i>

01:50:31.730 --> 01:50:35.313 align:center
<i>Oh, those piercing eyes</i>
<i>She left me to suffer</i>

01:50:35.438 --> 01:50:38.771 align:center
<i>What's happening to me?</i>
<i>I don't feel the same</i>

01:50:39.105 --> 01:50:42.521 align:center
<i>I yearn for you</i>
<i>I'm breaking deep inside</i>

01:50:42.813 --> 01:50:46.188 align:center
<i>Now I'm moving away</i>
<i>I'm searching for my life</i>

01:50:46.480 --> 01:50:50.105 align:center
<i>Like heat in the air</i>
<i>Your memories surround me</i>

01:50:50.188 --> 01:50:53.188 align:center
<i>All night long</i>
<i>They whisper your name</i>

01:50:53.271 --> 01:50:56.896 align:center
<i>Like a root pushing through the soil</i>
<i>I struggle to break free from you</i>

01:50:56.980 --> 01:51:02.730 align:center
<i>Hidden beneath the surface</i>
<i>No eyes can see it</i>

01:51:05.813 --> 01:51:06.771 align:center
Where are you all going?

01:51:06.855 --> 01:51:08.938 align:center
- We're going to clean our lake.
- Our lake?

01:51:14.938 --> 01:51:17.355 align:center
- What's your name?
- V. Vijayalakshmi.

01:51:17.563 --> 01:51:20.813 align:center
<i>My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart</i>

01:51:20.980 --> 01:51:22.146 align:center
<i>Oh, the arrow that pierced…</i>

01:51:22.230 --> 01:51:24.021 align:center
The girl he loved was
also named Vijayalakshmi.

01:51:24.355 --> 01:51:28.188 align:center
It was going well. But they split up
due to some misunderstanding.

01:51:28.396 --> 01:51:30.021 align:center
Only now is he clear-headed.
He looks happy.

01:51:30.230 --> 01:51:31.313 align:center
I want him to come out of it.

01:51:32.646 --> 01:51:36.021 align:center
<i>My tears have filled an ocean</i>

01:51:36.313 --> 01:51:39.396 align:center
<i>- I can't blame you it wouldn't be right</i>
- Sathya?

01:51:40.021 --> 01:51:43.105 align:center
<i>- You're not here to take me to shore</i>
- Just leave, Sathya.

01:51:43.188 --> 01:51:46.688 align:center
<i>- What am I supposed to tell my people?</i>
- Sathya! Sathya!

01:51:46.771 --> 01:51:50.438 align:center
<i>The moment you left, I faded away</i>

01:51:50.521 --> 01:51:54.313 align:center
<i>I'm a version of me I never knew</i>

01:51:54.396 --> 01:51:57.563 align:center
<i>My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart</i>

01:51:57.896 --> 01:52:01.396 align:center
<i>My sweetheart, oh my sweetheart</i>

01:52:01.896 --> 01:52:08.771 align:center
<i>Oh, the arrow that pierced my heart</i>

01:52:10.480 --> 01:52:13.396 align:center
I know your love story.

01:52:13.563 --> 01:52:16.355 align:center
- Continue, go on.
- What should I say?

01:52:16.896 --> 01:52:18.438 align:center
Even if we're successful,

01:52:18.521 --> 01:52:20.980 align:center
we can't lean on our own shoulders

01:52:21.146 --> 01:52:23.396 align:center
or rest in our own laps.

01:52:23.938 --> 01:52:25.396 align:center
<i>My loving sweetheart</i>

01:52:25.480 --> 01:52:27.730 align:center
- Damn, he found it's my dialogue!
<i>- My beloved one</i>

01:52:28.188 --> 01:52:31.021 align:center
He's still not out of that trauma.

01:52:31.313 --> 01:52:34.730 align:center
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 align:center
If a girl likes a boy,
it doesn't always mean it's love.

01:53:09.105 --> 01:53:10.688 align:center
We've already got this much water
from just this rain.

01:53:11.063 --> 01:53:13.313 align:center
At this rate, our college might be
underwater by the next one.

01:53:13.771 --> 01:53:15.021 align:center
We have to do something.

01:53:15.230 --> 01:53:16.813 align:center
Otherwise, our college will be in trouble.

01:53:24.355 --> 01:53:26.355 align:center
Please understand.
Don't do this here.

01:53:26.521 --> 01:53:28.355 align:center
A lot of people have worked hard
to clean this lake.

01:53:28.563 --> 01:53:31.021 align:center
If you put plaster of Paris in here,
it'll contaminate the water.

01:53:31.105 --> 01:53:32.855 align:center
Don't you dare stand against God.
Move!

01:53:32.938 --> 01:53:34.188 align:center
Please listen to me.

01:53:34.396 --> 01:53:37.980 align:center
If a God demands nature's destruction,
it isn't God, no matter the religion.

01:53:38.313 --> 01:53:40.438 align:center
Cutting trees and
sowing seeds won't fix anything.

01:53:40.605 --> 01:53:44.813 align:center
You know those black-shirt atheists?
They're that group, man.

01:53:44.896 --> 01:53:47.063 align:center
- Fool! His shirt is olive-green.
- Who are you talking to like that?

01:53:47.146 --> 01:53:48.563 align:center
- Hey.
- Hey, stop.

01:53:48.646 --> 01:53:50.271 align:center
- Hey…
- Hey, mind your tone…

01:53:50.605 --> 01:53:52.271 align:center
- Leave me.
- The police are here.

01:53:52.355 --> 01:53:53.646 align:center
- Stop it.
- Move!

01:53:57.271 --> 01:53:58.146 align:center
Move!

01:53:58.896 --> 01:53:59.813 align:center
- Hey.
- Hey!

01:54:03.063 --> 01:54:04.313 align:center
How dare you hit a policeman?!

01:54:05.980 --> 01:54:07.396 align:center
Come with me!

01:54:10.063 --> 01:54:10.938 align:center
Get inside!

01:54:11.188 --> 01:54:12.063 align:center
Move!

01:54:21.938 --> 01:54:27.271 align:center
<i>Sathya, who ran a Salem-based</i>
<i>social service NGO called Citizen Forum,</i>

01:54:27.355 --> 01:54:31.063 align:center
<i>is now accused of scamming people</i>
<i>out of millions of rupees.</i>

01:54:31.146 --> 01:54:36.230 align:center
<i>Investigators also say</i>
<i>he sexually harassed college girls</i>

01:54:36.313 --> 01:54:37.771 align:center
<i>who volunteered for lake cleanup drives.</i>

01:54:38.021 --> 01:54:42.271 align:center
<i>Non-bailable charges</i>
<i>have been filed against Sathya</i>

01:54:42.355 --> 01:54:44.813 align:center
<i>for financial fraud and sexual assault,</i>

01:54:44.896 --> 01:54:46.521 align:center
<i>and he is being held</i>
<i>at Salem Central Jail.</i>

01:54:49.188 --> 01:54:52.355 align:center
Don't stop a beneficial movement
like this out of personal vengeance.

01:54:52.688 --> 01:54:54.105 align:center
I know him well.

01:54:54.813 --> 01:54:57.938 align:center
The more you try to suppress him,
the stronger he'll get.

01:54:58.480 --> 01:54:59.438 align:center
Leave him alone.

01:55:02.730 --> 01:55:05.063 align:center
I'm being patient
just because you said so.

01:55:08.563 --> 01:55:12.313 align:center
But I'm not responsible if something
happens to him inside that prison.

01:55:22.021 --> 01:55:22.938 align:center
What is it?

01:55:23.105 --> 01:55:24.855 align:center
You said you had a lot to study.

01:55:25.396 --> 01:55:26.355 align:center
You're done already?

01:55:45.105 --> 01:55:46.021 align:center
Help me, Mom.

01:55:50.688 --> 01:55:51.646 align:center
What's wrong, dear?

01:55:52.021 --> 01:55:54.980 align:center
I'm not able to focus, Mom.

01:55:56.105 --> 01:55:57.021 align:center
Viji, my child.

01:55:57.605 --> 01:55:58.563 align:center
What happened?

01:55:59.146 --> 01:56:00.146 align:center
Stop crying and tell me, dear.

01:56:01.563 --> 01:56:03.480 align:center
The more I try to distance myself,

01:56:04.855 --> 01:56:07.438 align:center
here… there… outside…

01:56:08.188 --> 01:56:10.855 align:center
I see him everywhere, Mom.

01:56:11.438 --> 01:56:12.688 align:center
I just can't, Mom.

01:56:13.438 --> 01:56:14.646 align:center
Who is he?

01:56:21.188 --> 01:56:22.105 align:center
Sathya.

01:56:32.938 --> 01:56:34.355 align:center
Sir… help.

01:57:12.230 --> 01:57:14.105 align:center
What do you think I can do?

01:57:14.646 --> 01:57:15.688 align:center
I want my son back.

01:57:33.980 --> 01:57:34.980 align:center
You've got two minutes.

01:57:47.105 --> 01:57:48.355 align:center
Just leave, Sathya.

01:57:51.146 --> 01:57:52.146 align:center
Just leave, Sathya.

01:57:54.938 --> 01:57:56.355 align:center
Where will I go, Mom?

01:57:57.646 --> 01:57:58.730 align:center
Tell me, where can I even go?

01:58:00.563 --> 01:58:02.271 align:center
Does nobody want me?

01:58:05.396 --> 01:58:09.021 align:center
How many more times do I have
to be uprooted and planted somewhere else?

01:58:11.396 --> 01:58:15.021 align:center
You told Viji not to hesitate
to follow her heart.

01:58:15.855 --> 01:58:17.938 align:center
Why didn't you tell your son that?

01:58:19.688 --> 01:58:21.771 align:center
Now, I have no identity, Mom.

01:58:25.146 --> 01:58:26.105 align:center
Who am I?

01:58:30.646 --> 01:58:32.230 align:center
I cleaned that lake

01:58:32.938 --> 01:58:34.188 align:center
not because Viji asked me to,

01:58:34.521 --> 01:58:36.813 align:center
or just so you'd come talk to me.

01:58:39.396 --> 01:58:40.480 align:center
I did it for me!

01:58:41.146 --> 01:58:42.688 align:center
It was to prove to myself who I am.

01:58:43.980 --> 01:58:44.896 align:center
I found my identity.

01:58:46.313 --> 01:58:47.396 align:center
And I won't lose it again.

01:58:48.230 --> 01:58:49.646 align:center
Hey, time's up!

01:58:51.521 --> 01:58:52.438 align:center
Hurry up.

01:58:52.730 --> 01:58:54.480 align:center
They're going to do something
to me tonight.

01:58:55.396 --> 01:58:57.105 align:center
I'm ready to face whatever it is.

01:58:58.313 --> 01:58:59.396 align:center
But if I die,

01:59:00.271 --> 01:59:02.480 align:center
all our efforts will be in vain, Mom.

01:59:03.438 --> 01:59:05.230 align:center
There's only one way for me to escape.

01:59:05.980 --> 01:59:07.813 align:center
Didn't you hear?
Time's up!

01:59:10.105 --> 01:59:11.605 align:center
Every cop here

01:59:12.146 --> 01:59:13.438 align:center
has their eyes on you.

01:59:14.355 --> 01:59:15.271 align:center
Don't be scared.

01:59:15.730 --> 01:59:16.938 align:center
Keep a straight face and don't cry.

01:59:17.771 --> 01:59:19.271 align:center
Try to keep smiling, Mom.

01:59:20.105 --> 01:59:21.313 align:center
When you go out,

01:59:21.605 --> 01:59:23.438 align:center
the media will be waiting with cameras.

01:59:24.146 --> 01:59:25.563 align:center
Cry and make a scene in front of them.

01:59:26.771 --> 01:59:28.230 align:center
Don't believe anyone here.

01:59:28.855 --> 01:59:30.188 align:center
If they see your expression change,

01:59:31.396 --> 01:59:33.105 align:center
they'll hurt you too.

01:59:33.771 --> 01:59:34.980 align:center
- Go.
- Hey!

01:59:35.271 --> 01:59:36.355 align:center
- Keep smiling.
- Let's go.

01:59:36.771 --> 01:59:38.605 align:center
Didn't I tell you time's up?

01:59:39.396 --> 01:59:41.355 align:center
- Come on! Hey…
- Mom!

01:59:45.146 --> 01:59:46.146 align:center
Smile, please.

01:59:50.980 --> 01:59:52.480 align:center
- Go out looking the same way, Mom.
- Hey…

02:00:42.563 --> 02:00:43.521 align:center
My son…

02:00:43.605 --> 02:00:44.980 align:center
My dear son!

02:00:47.605 --> 02:00:49.896 align:center
- They are going to kill my son!
- What happened?

02:00:50.021 --> 02:00:52.063 align:center
- They'll kill my son! Save my son, please!
- What happened?

02:00:52.188 --> 02:00:53.105 align:center
- Tell us!
- What exactly happened between

02:00:53.188 --> 02:00:54.188 align:center
- your son and the minister?
- Oh, my dear son!

02:00:54.271 --> 02:00:55.980 align:center
Tell me, why are they
trying to kill your son?

02:00:56.105 --> 02:00:57.938 align:center
- They framed my son with a false case
- Say it clearly. What happened?

02:00:58.021 --> 02:00:59.688 align:center
for helping the town.

02:00:59.813 --> 02:01:01.563 align:center
They're going to kill my son!

02:01:01.813 --> 02:01:04.021 align:center
- Yes, believe me!
- Why have they arrested your son?

02:01:04.688 --> 02:01:07.896 align:center
<i>Public outrage continues to grow</i>

02:01:07.980 --> 02:01:10.230 align:center
<i>as students and civilians</i>
<i>protest across the city,</i>

02:01:10.313 --> 02:01:12.813 align:center
<i>demanding Sathya's release</i>
<i>after he was arrested on a false case.</i>

02:01:12.896 --> 02:01:15.896 align:center
<i>Following an urgent investigation,</i>
<i>Judge Sabarinathan</i>

02:01:15.980 --> 02:01:19.896 align:center
<i>voided the land registration tied to the</i>
<i>illegal encroachment on the lake land</i>

02:01:20.021 --> 02:01:26.313 align:center
<i>and ordered authorities to demolish</i>
<i>the college within a month.</i>

02:01:26.396 --> 02:01:30.396 align:center
<i>The court also ordered</i>
<i>the evacuation of hostel students</i>

02:01:30.563 --> 02:01:32.396 align:center
<i>and asked college authorities</i>
<i>to make suitable…</i>

02:01:32.688 --> 02:01:33.605 align:center
Fool!

02:01:34.896 --> 02:01:36.521 align:center
I disown you as my son!

02:02:07.063 --> 02:02:07.938 align:center
I'm…

02:02:08.563 --> 02:02:10.521 align:center
- I'm Vijayalakshmi's mom--
- I know.

02:02:10.688 --> 02:02:11.563 align:center
Tell me.

02:02:13.646 --> 02:02:15.188 align:center
Our family is a big one.

02:02:15.938 --> 02:02:19.896 align:center
Everyone in my family
is a well-educated doctor or lawyer.

02:02:21.105 --> 02:02:21.980 align:center
Except me.

02:02:22.896 --> 02:02:25.355 align:center
After my husband left,

02:02:26.480 --> 02:02:28.688 align:center
everyone looked down on me
and ignored me.

02:02:29.146 --> 02:02:31.313 align:center
Maybe that's what made me so stubborn.

02:02:32.188 --> 02:02:33.896 align:center
I wanted my daughter to do well.

02:02:34.605 --> 02:02:36.480 align:center
It's her dream to become
an IAS officer.

02:02:37.771 --> 02:02:38.896 align:center
From childhood until now,

02:02:39.521 --> 02:02:41.271 align:center
that's been her life.

02:02:42.021 --> 02:02:46.146 align:center
For a while,
I even got to see her happy.

02:02:47.438 --> 02:02:50.063 align:center
She took care of herself
and enjoyed what she was doing.

02:02:50.563 --> 02:02:51.521 align:center
One day, out of nowhere,

02:02:51.688 --> 02:02:53.230 align:center
she took me to Delhi with her

02:02:53.646 --> 02:02:55.938 align:center
and said that only then
could she become an IAS officer.

02:02:57.521 --> 02:02:58.396 align:center
But now…

02:02:59.896 --> 02:03:02.480 align:center
she came to me crying,
saying she doesn't want to study anymore

02:03:03.438 --> 02:03:05.896 align:center
and is begging me to save her.

02:03:08.688 --> 02:03:10.271 align:center
I know how it feels
to leave someone you love.

02:03:12.355 --> 02:03:13.521 align:center
I want my daughter back.

02:03:14.230 --> 02:03:15.438 align:center
She must do well in the exam.

02:03:16.771 --> 02:03:17.688 align:center
Even now,

02:03:18.396 --> 02:03:21.230 align:center
I told her I was going to the temple
and came here.

02:03:22.105 --> 02:03:23.021 align:center
As a mother,

02:03:23.271 --> 02:03:26.146 align:center
I want to do something for my daughter.

02:03:28.438 --> 02:03:29.313 align:center
If you can…

02:03:31.021 --> 02:03:33.188 align:center
could you please talk to her?

02:03:52.605 --> 02:03:53.521 align:center
Auntie…

02:03:54.313 --> 02:03:55.271 align:center
Auntie!

02:03:55.896 --> 02:03:56.771 align:center
Do you have a minute?

02:03:58.646 --> 02:04:01.230 align:center
Please don't take this the wrong way.

02:04:01.396 --> 02:04:02.313 align:center
What is it?

02:04:02.938 --> 02:04:06.271 align:center
Don't you want to know
if Sathya still loves your daughter?

02:04:07.355 --> 02:04:08.688 align:center
That's his personal matter.

02:04:13.355 --> 02:04:14.896 align:center
How long have I been in the hospital?

02:04:16.271 --> 02:04:17.980 align:center
You've been unconscious for ten days.

02:04:19.063 --> 02:04:20.105 align:center
We weren't even allowed to see you.

02:04:20.730 --> 02:04:22.396 align:center
A lot of people came
and gave us all kinds of reasons.

02:04:23.355 --> 02:04:25.605 align:center
Forget it.
You're doing well now.

02:04:27.313 --> 02:04:28.896 align:center
So many things happened
when you were in prison.

02:04:29.021 --> 02:04:31.438 align:center
I wonder if your college will
even be there.

02:04:31.771 --> 02:04:33.355 align:center
Youngsters look up to you now.

02:04:33.688 --> 02:04:35.313 align:center
They created a "Save Sathya"
hashtag in your name,

02:04:35.396 --> 02:04:37.480 align:center
and your arrest became
a national sensation.

02:04:38.896 --> 02:04:39.980 align:center
All your efforts have paid off.

02:04:40.688 --> 02:04:42.605 align:center
I was wondering
why you were doing all this.

02:04:43.230 --> 02:04:44.188 align:center
But I understand now.

02:04:44.355 --> 02:04:46.730 align:center
Do you know what
our Aranganeri Lake looks like now?

02:04:46.896 --> 02:04:47.771 align:center
Stop right there!

02:04:48.521 --> 02:04:49.480 align:center
I want to see it!

02:04:50.105 --> 02:04:52.896 align:center
Like a prayer flag,
it holds the hopes of this town's people.

02:04:53.063 --> 02:04:54.438 align:center
Look, your son is here!

02:04:54.521 --> 02:04:55.605 align:center
THIS LAKE WAS RENOVATED BY CITIZEN FORUM

02:05:15.355 --> 02:05:17.855 align:center
I used to tease him as
"Cutout" in college.

02:05:18.646 --> 02:05:20.855 align:center
Now people have made a cutout of him.

02:05:23.605 --> 02:05:25.146 align:center
<i>The answer to "who am I?"</i>

02:05:25.521 --> 02:05:28.646 align:center
<i>isn't our name, nationality,</i>
<i>country, mother tongue,</i>

02:05:28.896 --> 02:05:31.355 align:center
<i>caste, creed, or color.</i>

02:05:32.146 --> 02:05:34.230 align:center
<i>Life is all about</i>

02:05:34.813 --> 02:05:36.188 align:center
<i>searching for our real identity.</i>

02:05:54.146 --> 02:05:55.396 align:center
<i>As Viji said,</i>

02:05:55.605 --> 02:06:00.355 align:center
<i>I now understand the joy</i>

#10 THE LOVER WHO HEARS HER MAN
CALLED "A WISE MAN"

02:06:19.188 --> 02:06:22.021 align:center
Drop him at the park and come here.

02:06:25.896 --> 02:06:26.813 align:center
Viji!

02:06:30.980 --> 02:06:31.938 align:center
Viji!

02:06:34.230 --> 02:06:35.105 align:center
Viji!

02:06:38.438 --> 02:06:39.313 align:center
Viji!

02:06:40.438 --> 02:06:42.438 align:center
Hey, I've made him sit there.

02:06:42.521 --> 02:06:43.396 align:center
Did you find her yet?

02:06:43.688 --> 02:06:44.813 align:center
No, I don't know where she is.

02:06:48.021 --> 02:06:49.271 align:center
- Bro…
- What?

02:06:49.396 --> 02:06:50.355 align:center
I've got an idea.

02:06:57.646 --> 02:06:58.688 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:00.230 --> 02:07:01.355 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:02.480 --> 02:07:03.563 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:05.146 --> 02:07:06.230 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:07.355 --> 02:07:08.313 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:08.896 --> 02:07:09.896 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:11.730 --> 02:07:12.605 align:center
<i>Idiyappam!</i>

02:07:12.688 --> 02:07:14.271 align:center
Shut up and get lost!

02:07:16.271 --> 02:07:17.188 align:center
Viji!

02:07:18.813 --> 02:07:19.730 align:center
Viji!

02:07:22.146 --> 02:07:23.021 align:center
Viji!

02:07:30.980 --> 02:07:31.980 align:center
Viji!

02:07:37.605 --> 02:07:38.480 align:center
Viji!

02:07:44.063 --> 02:07:45.021 align:center
- Vi--
- Why did you come here?

02:08:11.146 --> 02:08:12.063 align:center
Why the hell did you come?

02:08:12.730 --> 02:08:13.605 align:center
Tell me.

02:08:14.313 --> 02:08:15.688 align:center
- I--
- How did you find me?

02:08:19.105 --> 02:08:20.396 align:center
- Come with me.
- Let me go, Sathya.

02:08:20.480 --> 02:08:22.146 align:center
- Mom will wake up. Sathya!
- Come, please.

02:08:22.271 --> 02:08:23.271 align:center
What do you want now?

02:08:23.438 --> 02:08:24.646 align:center
- I'll tell you. Just come.
- Why are you doing this?

02:08:24.855 --> 02:08:26.271 align:center
Didn't we already break up?

02:08:26.563 --> 02:08:27.605 align:center
I said let me go, Sathya.

02:08:29.730 --> 02:08:31.313 align:center
Can you do me a favor?

02:08:32.105 --> 02:08:32.980 align:center
Please!

02:08:35.688 --> 02:08:36.563 align:center
What?

02:08:43.688 --> 02:08:44.896 align:center
Why did you bring me here?

02:08:45.730 --> 02:08:47.355 align:center
Please wait here for two minutes.

02:08:49.605 --> 02:08:50.563 align:center
Just two minutes.

02:08:50.771 --> 02:08:52.438 align:center
- Wh--
- Don't go anywhere. I'll be back.

02:09:19.355 --> 02:09:20.480 align:center
- Who are you?
- Viji…

02:09:21.688 --> 02:09:22.563 align:center
Sathya…

02:09:23.480 --> 02:09:24.355 align:center
Sathya?

02:09:25.480 --> 02:09:26.355 align:center
Viji.

02:09:27.230 --> 02:09:30.021 align:center
- Who are you?
<i>- Ever since I got to know her,</i>

02:09:30.480 --> 02:09:32.730 align:center
<i>she has always wanted to see her dad,</i>

02:09:32.980 --> 02:09:35.230 align:center
<i>who left her when she was a little kid.</i>

02:09:35.521 --> 02:09:37.271 align:center
<i>After I adopted our lake,</i>

02:09:37.480 --> 02:09:40.646 align:center
<i>I met a lot of big shots</i>
<i>asking for donations.</i>

02:09:40.896 --> 02:09:45.188 align:center
<i>One such person from Malaysia</i>
<i>was Kurunila Kathiravan.</i>

02:09:59.480 --> 02:10:00.438 align:center
You are…

02:10:01.313 --> 02:10:03.188 align:center
Kurunila Kathiravan.

02:10:03.813 --> 02:10:06.646 align:center
<i>That was a Tamil name in Malaysia,</i>
<i>so I asked around</i>

02:10:07.063 --> 02:10:08.813 align:center
<i>and found out he's Viji's dad.</i>

02:10:09.188 --> 02:10:10.355 align:center
You're my daughter!

02:10:12.688 --> 02:10:13.563 align:center
Dad…

02:10:15.438 --> 02:10:16.313 align:center
Dad?

02:10:19.688 --> 02:10:20.730 align:center
Forgive me, dear.

02:10:50.480 --> 02:10:51.355 align:center
Viji…

02:10:53.605 --> 02:10:54.480 align:center
Dad…

02:10:54.563 --> 02:10:56.396 align:center
<i>After moving from India to Malaysia,</i>

02:10:56.605 --> 02:10:58.105 align:center
he started an export business
and opened hotels there.

02:10:58.188 --> 02:10:59.563 align:center
Now he's fully settled there, mate.

02:11:00.771 --> 02:11:03.855 align:center
He's even produced a couple of movies.

02:11:07.271 --> 02:11:10.230 align:center
He kept calling to ask
if I had seen his daughter.

02:11:11.271 --> 02:11:12.355 align:center
I called him here today,

02:11:13.313 --> 02:11:14.271 align:center
and here he is.

02:11:29.688 --> 02:11:31.980 align:center
Do you always have to
bring something?

02:11:35.063 --> 02:11:36.021 align:center
Don't smile.

02:11:37.188 --> 02:11:39.188 align:center
It was your wish to see
and talk to your dad

02:11:39.271 --> 02:11:40.896 align:center
at least once in your life.

02:11:41.938 --> 02:11:42.938 align:center
That's why I brought him here.

02:11:44.396 --> 02:11:45.313 align:center
Thanks.

02:11:45.813 --> 02:11:48.480 align:center
Your mom visited me at the hospital, Viji.

02:11:50.438 --> 02:11:52.563 align:center
She said you didn't want to
write the exam.

02:11:57.521 --> 02:11:58.980 align:center
Does she know about Dad?

02:12:00.605 --> 02:12:01.480 align:center
Let it be that way.

02:12:02.896 --> 02:12:04.355 align:center
She's still upset with him.

02:12:08.438 --> 02:12:09.980 align:center
<i>I honestly don't even know</i>
<i>if he's really Viji's father</i>

02:12:10.063 --> 02:12:12.980 align:center
<i>or if he just brought in some random guy</i>
<i>wearing a coat and suit.</i>

02:12:14.438 --> 02:12:17.146 align:center
All your decisions, including
breaking up with me, were right.

02:12:20.188 --> 02:12:22.271 align:center
But this one isn't, Viji.

02:12:24.896 --> 02:12:27.813 align:center
I realized why you left me
only after you did.

02:12:29.063 --> 02:12:30.688 align:center
And I deserved that pain.

02:12:31.646 --> 02:12:34.688 align:center
I didn't have anyone around

02:12:35.605 --> 02:12:41.105 align:center
to teach me what to do,
where to go, and what to learn.

02:12:43.063 --> 02:12:44.646 align:center
I'm a first-generation graduate.

02:12:46.230 --> 02:12:50.646 align:center
No one before me
even stepped into college.

02:12:51.188 --> 02:12:53.813 align:center
I spent half my life figuring out

02:12:54.355 --> 02:12:57.313 align:center
what I like and what comes easily to me.

02:12:58.646 --> 02:13:00.813 align:center
Settling down in my 30s
felt like a distant dream.

02:13:01.480 --> 02:13:05.146 align:center
People like me
only wake up when we're 29.

02:13:06.313 --> 02:13:07.938 align:center
Until then, we work,
make some money,

02:13:09.063 --> 02:13:11.105 align:center
and that's it.

02:13:13.396 --> 02:13:14.855 align:center
But you are different.

02:13:15.771 --> 02:13:17.771 align:center
You're very clear about what you want.

02:13:19.771 --> 02:13:21.105 align:center
Your mother raised you well…

02:13:22.855 --> 02:13:24.646 align:center
without your father

02:13:25.605 --> 02:13:27.646 align:center
or relatives to support her.

02:13:30.230 --> 02:13:31.605 align:center
She came all the way
there to meet me.

02:13:36.730 --> 02:13:38.688 align:center
Win this for her sake, Viji.

02:13:41.730 --> 02:13:44.021 align:center
Her only dream is
to see you become a Collector.

02:13:46.730 --> 02:13:48.438 align:center
Write the exams, Viji.

02:13:51.438 --> 02:13:52.396 align:center
Will you?

02:13:54.771 --> 02:13:55.646 align:center
Please.

02:14:06.438 --> 02:14:07.313 align:center
Hey.

02:14:08.521 --> 02:14:10.480 align:center
- What do you do?
- Me?

02:14:11.438 --> 02:14:12.980 align:center
I wanted to be a film director.

02:14:13.730 --> 02:14:14.938 align:center
Now I don't even think about it.

02:14:16.688 --> 02:14:17.938 align:center
Do you have a story?

02:14:19.063 --> 02:14:20.980 align:center
Sir, of course!

02:14:21.438 --> 02:14:23.980 align:center
It's called<i> It's All Because of Her.</i>
Want a one-liner?

02:14:25.480 --> 02:14:26.355 align:center
Go ahead.

02:14:27.063 --> 02:14:29.021 align:center
It opens with…
a round of applause.

02:14:43.021 --> 02:14:45.605 align:center
<i>We're all a collection of stories.</i>

02:14:46.063 --> 02:14:48.105 align:center
<i>Some stories make us laugh out loud.</i>

02:14:48.230 --> 02:14:50.021 align:center
<i>Some make us cry.</i>

02:14:50.396 --> 02:14:53.771 align:center
<i>And some inspire us</i>
<i>and lift our spirits.</i>

02:14:54.313 --> 02:14:55.980 align:center
<i>Aranganeri is one such story.</i>

02:15:01.355 --> 02:15:03.188 align:center
<i>For you to even think of me,</i>

02:15:03.730 --> 02:15:05.355 align:center
<i>I'd have to be a chapter in your book</i>

02:15:05.730 --> 02:15:09.730 align:center
or a question on an exam.

02:15:40.813 --> 02:15:41.688 align:center
Sathya?

02:15:43.605 --> 02:15:44.563 align:center
This is it.

02:15:46.105 --> 02:15:47.521 align:center
All this drama just for this.

02:15:49.896 --> 02:15:54.605 align:center
You can call me your moon,
your sky, your cloud,

02:15:54.938 --> 02:15:56.355 align:center
or whatever fond names you like.

02:15:57.396 --> 02:15:59.146 align:center
In the end, I'm just a girl.

02:16:00.355 --> 02:16:04.146 align:center
I call you my fire, my raging bull,
my lion, and all that, too.

02:16:05.771 --> 02:16:07.188 align:center
But you're not that.

02:16:09.605 --> 02:16:10.563 align:center
You're a man.

02:16:10.938 --> 02:16:11.813 align:center
That's all.

02:16:11.896 --> 02:16:13.188 align:center
But this world

02:16:14.313 --> 02:16:16.563 align:center
has romanticized everything,

02:16:17.063 --> 02:16:19.021 align:center
like boys and girls
and all these small things.

02:16:19.938 --> 02:16:23.771 align:center
It stopped us from thinking
about the bigger things in our lives.

02:16:24.313 --> 02:16:26.188 align:center
Remember in school,

02:16:26.938 --> 02:16:30.021 align:center
we used to draw a heart
in science class?

02:16:34.188 --> 02:16:35.521 align:center
It was hard to draw that heart.

02:16:36.938 --> 02:16:37.896 align:center
But that's the reality.

02:16:38.771 --> 02:16:40.646 align:center
Have you seen the ones lovers draw?

02:16:41.230 --> 02:16:42.105 align:center
The ones…

02:16:42.521 --> 02:16:43.813 align:center
in greeting cards?

02:16:44.438 --> 02:16:45.438 align:center
Those are easy to draw…

02:16:47.146 --> 02:16:48.188 align:center
because they're fantasy.

02:16:49.355 --> 02:16:50.980 align:center
Come out of your fantasy, Sathya.

02:16:53.355 --> 02:16:54.771 align:center
You're 29 now.

02:16:55.396 --> 02:16:57.105 align:center
Your desires and ambitions…

02:16:58.646 --> 02:16:59.771 align:center
shouldn't stop with me.

02:17:00.563 --> 02:17:03.396 align:center
You should become something big,

02:17:04.730 --> 02:17:08.188 align:center
and I'll stand beside you,
proud as your woman.

02:17:11.563 --> 02:17:12.438 align:center
<i>Hey…</i>

02:17:12.938 --> 02:17:15.021 align:center
<i>I feel a poem coming on.</i>

02:17:16.521 --> 02:17:17.438 align:center
<i>Can I tell you?</i>
