What is the Purpose of this tea meeting?
Spare me a minute.
Let me finish this chakli.
Are you done with the bun?
Half done.
Finish as much as you can,
then I will get started.
Shall I start?
Go ahead.
Thothapuri mangoes from your brother's shop
were delicious.
When picked up from the basket,
they are a 'handful' in size.
But before picking it up
stems should be plucked out.
Strange thing is
you are famous for selling thothapuri
and I am famous for the "thothapuri cut".
Continue.
Thotapuri is the common factor both sides.
We "hem",
you have "stem".
Coming to the point,
I have decided that, If at all I have to prepare a 'paan' in my life,
it will only be with you.
What do you mean?
I meant that, my marriage will only be with you.
You are a leaflet
and I'm an arcea nut.
When chewed together,
definitely a sumptuous offering.
Isn't it?
But still,
don't jump the gun.
Think over once again.
Habitually, I don't jump the gun,
rather prefer exploring.
Did I talk too much?
I don't think too much.
Just that it had a shade of double meaning.
Weird world.
Our mischiefs
are termed as double meaning.
Whereas some people constantly keep referring
to cleavage, navel and thighs,
I don't know what that is referred as.
Let that be.
What is your stand?
By the way,
you referred both of us to be leaflet and arcea nut
what about the lime paste?
Our unision will symbolize the same.
Continue.
There are only two hurdles for our wedding.
One is caste and the other is religion.
The other one is
I am amateur in sex
Amateur to what extent?
Means...
I can open the door,
but don't know to latch it.
Less sound.
More effective.
You don't need to worry about it.
As I practice yoga,
I will teach you easy poses.
Is it fine?
Your such cooperation will lead to
infinite shows.
What is your final decision regarding our wedding?
As professionally you are a tailor,
your needle will be apt to stitch my clothes.
Are you shocked?
At the mention of needle,
I thought you have straightaway come to the point.
I love you.
Same here.
So,
when shall we reveal this to our families?
Eighteenth Anniversary of the temple falls next week,
I have to fulfill a vow.
We shall reveal after that.
Fine.
Shall we leave?
Sure.
But but before we leave,
my curiousness prompts me to ask this.
What does Lord Sri Ramachandra prefer?
Temple or rain?
Rain. -Reason?
He let go of an empire out of greatness,
will he be mean to ask for a temple?
Lord Rama's awareness of the importance
of soil and rain over temples and mosques
still keeps Lord Rama alive within us.
Moreover,
Lord Rama will be lonely in a temple.
In our hearts,
he will stay connected.
This is sufficient for us to cross
over the barriers of caste and religion.
Actually, you should have been a teacher.
By mistake, you have turned out a cashier at bank.
Even I want to share a thought.
Go ahead.
To cleanse oneself from sin,
or to get sanctified,
is it compulsory to visit Mecca?
I very well remember
my Father's friend Mr. Syed Mansoor Pasha's words.
"Son, God is omnipresent."
"He summons the affordable"
"and will be accessible at their convenience to the unaffordable."
"Distance is man-made"
"and also sin and sanctity."
"Did you understand my son?"
I was in middle school then.
I asked him to buy me two candies from Chikanna's store.
One more thing.
According to our ancestors,
only way to cleanse your sins is to take a dip in the river Ganga.
As far as my understanding goes,
it is not compulsory to take a dip in the river Ganga
to wash away our sins.
A honest drench in the rain is sufficient.
Now tell me.
How to cleanse our sins?
Doesn't look like the rain is going to stop anytime soon.
Let's go back drenching in the rain.
Let our respective sins, if any, wash away.
Fine.
Just a minute.
As you mentioned earlier that,
being a yoga practitioner
you will teach me easy sexual poses,
is it possible to teach one at this instant?
"For the request of God"
"Don't get angry, my queen."
"For the exercise of yoga,"
"Don't get angry, my dear."
"Which pose from left to right?"
"My pose from top to bottom."
"If you come forward, lion's pose."
"If you go back"
"Corpse pose."
"For the lessons of struggle,"
"For the games of nervousness,"
"You got shocked and me who got scared,"
"Don't get angry, my queen."
"Don't forget after leaving, don't despair after forgetting."
"Thotapuri, 60 rupees per kilo"
"Sixty rupees with stem, forty rupees without stem."
"Sister!"
"For the request of God"
"Don't get angry, my queen."
"For the exercise of yoga,"
"Don't get angry, my dear."
'Don't know if anyone in Transpiration'
'is bothered about their wedding.'
'But all four of us'
'desperately want it to take place.'
'One is,'
'Sree Ramachandra Rao amongst us.'
'Second is,'
'Sree Ramachandra's friend,'
'Fakkruddin.'
'The third one is'
'thick pal of these two, Fernandes.'
'Don't bother to know if they are gods or devils.'
'I don't bother either.'
'This is their vehicle.'
'For them, this is as good as temple, mosque and church.'
'Regarding me...'
'You can call me as,'
'the essence of life.'
'or you can call me as soil, greenery, fire, wind, water.'
'In short you can call me as nature.'
Nature means...
Essence of our lives.
Correct.
'Now the topic is...'
'Neither me nor these three'
'have raised this other topic with you guys.'
'Bot now,'
'The need to raise this topic has arose.'
'Reason for the same is, you.'
'So, our conversation begins.'
'Topic is....'
'Shakeela Bhanu Weds Eeregowda.'
'She is Donne Rangamma.'
'Biryani from her hotel is very famous in Srirangapattana.'
'This is her Hotel.'
'That's it!'
Hey, Manja.... get some gravy.
Hanumanthanna,
there's a lot of work in the kitchen.
A slight delay in serving, please don't mind.
That's all right, Rangamma.
By the way,
How come you don't have any kids
even after so many years of marriage?
Merely having a grinder at home won't help.
It needs to be used to fill the container.
It doesn't imply that Rangamma doesn't have kids.
There is a cute seven-year-old boy.
[speaking in sanskrit]
Meaning,
his name is Iqbal...
Iqbal?
Hmm.
What is your mother's name, dear?
Donne Rangamma.
Satisfied?
Okay, fine.
What should I mention in the religion column?
Mention as Indian.
Rangamma!
Yes.
Look Rangamma,
adopting a child is fine,
but after adopting,
couldn't you name him according to our religion?
Look Nanny,
I have not adopted any caste or religion,
just this cute little kid.
What?
Just answer me.
Does the alphabets taught in this school have any caste or religion?
Fine, carry on.
You know what?
Rangamma is Mother India personified.
What brings you here, Rangamma?
I came to submit transfer certificate of the old school.
Also completed the admission process.
That's good, Rangamma.
By the way...
How much money do you have
in fixed deposit at Ammani co-operative Bank?
Deposits shouldn't be revealed,
and withdrawals should be secretive.
Was it required?
'Rangamma's hotel is at Ghosai Beedhi.'
'She owns one hotel and two houses.'
'One is a rental home.'
'The other one is her own.'
'God willing.'
Rangamma, normally people have
a residential house and a farm house.
Hmm.
Where as both your houses are residential.
Why so?
More than what kind of property one has,
wealth accumulation is important.
Now tell Mr. Lawyer,
if the kind of property matters?
Please spare me.
I have my own issues.
Why should I bother about your property?
That's right.
When is the next case date?
'As the case of her own house is prejudiced,'
'she frequently visits Mysuru.'
'Also, presently she resides in a rented home.'
'This is her rented home.'
'Parallely located to Poornaiah beedhi.'
'And this is her own house,'
'located paralelly to Uttaradhi Mutt.'
'Fine. Case is expected to be decided in favour of Rangamma'
'and she should be shifting to her own house soon.'
'So.... Let's stop this topic'
'and start her husband's topic.'
'He is her husband.'
Where can I find firewood?
Here is the donne you asked for.
Instead of providing what I need,
you only give this donne.
This is the bank where Rangamma has fixed deposits.
'Rangamma's backbone in this bank is Ms. Shakeela Bhanu.'
'Their relation is similar to that of a bun and jam.'
'Though she looks size zero,'
'she has a good appetite.'
Ms. Shakeela Bhanu,
how come your lunch box is as long as a flagpole?
Aren't some things better when they are long, Sir?
Why Sir?
Anything wrong?
Nothing.
Please carry on with your lunch.
So, what all have you filled those many boxes with?
Simple spread.
Four chapathis,
a little Biriyani rice,
two boiled eggs,
and a little bit of curd rice.
Also two bananas.
It's a solid spread.
Anything in liquid?
I wanted to get some soup, but forgot.
Madam, there was a call from Armugam textiles.
They couldn't connect to your phone it seems.
Is it? What's the matter?
I shall tell you after your lunch.
It's all right, tell me.
You had asked for a specific bra,
they wanted to confirm the size.
In my own estimation I told 34.
One with this kind of appetite
fasts one time every Thursday as a vow to Guru Raghavendra Swamy.
Do you know why?
You shall learn later.
Now, let's continue her topic.
'Shakeela Bhanu is a cashier in this bank.'
'She has nine years of experience.'
'This young lady,'
'is a step ahead in eating.'
'But has a very sound behaviour.'
'That's it!'
'Om Shri Guru Raghavendraaya.'
'Shakeela Bhanu admires this Guru Raghavendra Swamy Mutt'
'and relishes the sacred food served there.'
I frequently see you in this Mutt.
Hmm
If you don't mind, shall I ask you something?
Is it that, being a Muslim, why do I visit Mutt?
Yes.
Not sure, but....
when my Father was infected with chickun gunya I had taken a vow here
that if he gets well,
I will fast one time and pay a visit every Thursday.
One more question.
Is it that, couldn't I do a similar thing in my own religious culture?
Yes.
What do you do when something gets stuck in your throat while eating?
I drink water.
Isn't it? -Yes
Before drinking, do you think about the source of the water?
Fine, I shall take your leave.
Just a minute.
That's fine,
will a non-vegetarian have an appetite for salad?
'The Mutt that Shakeela Bhanu visits is located'
'near Marimallappa School in Mysuru.'
'And her home is located'
'near Srinivasa Circle in Srirangapattana.'
'The bank she works in,'
'is in Shivarampete, Mysuru.'
'Also, yoga is her passion.'
'Her Father is her life.'
'Though her Mother is no more,'
'she is blessed with two aunts.'
'She also has two elder brothers.'
'Younger among them is married and has a kid.'
'The elder one is yet to find a bride.'
'Reverse order in this Muslim Family.'
'God willing.'
'Interesting point is....'
'Elder one has a fruit shop in Mysuru market'
'and is a renowned seller of Thothapuri.'
'Sometimes, after finishing her duty,'
'Shakeela Bhanu directly goes to the fruit shop.'
Anything else?
Is it true that your shop is famous for thothapuri mangoes with stem?
God's grace.
What else shall I give?
Two kg thothapuri mangoes,
half stemless and half with stem.
'Their source of Thothapuri mangoes'
'is a top secret.'
'But, the mangoes will have the stem.'
How is it that the stem of the thothapuri mangoes
of your shop are always intact?
Just like actor Srinath.
How come his hair is always intact?
'How was the punch?'
'Occasionally,'
'Shakeela Bhanu's brother packs a comic punch.'
'Their Thothapuri mangoes have high demand'
'in Srirangapattana as well as Mysuru.'
'Hence, they also sell at home.'
'Donne Rangamma's son is very much fond of these thothapuri mangoes.'
'His favourite.'
Have you got the dish that you ordered?
Yes. - Fine.
Get some rasam.
Hey, naughty fellow.
Stop playing and go and study.
Hurry up.
Sarsamma, quickly clean up the tables.
Why are you standing here Madam?
You could have sat inside.
In fact I was sitting inside,
may be the phone network was weak there
line was getting disconnected.
So I came here.
Fine come inside.
Listen. - Yes.
Take this. This is for Iqbal.
Iqbal will jump in joy upon seeing these.
That is exactly why I got them.
Thothapuri Mangoes! -God bless you.
Look how happy he is.
Have it.
Thank you Didi.
Family members have already placed the order.
One biriyani for me and some keema balls.
Also one donne biriyani parcel for Abbu.
With a little extra curry.
You don't need to mention it Madam.
I shall get everything. You be seated inside.
Move aside.
Madam. - Yes.
I am planning to visit the bank
to withdraw some interest from my fixed deposit.
Don't worry.
I will take care of everything.
Fine, please take your seat.
One biriyani and a plate of special keema balls.
Rangamma! What is this?
All the tables are occupied by Shakeela Bhanu's family.
Where should we sit?
Why are you getting impatient Rajappanna?
I will arrange a seat for you in the backyard.
Not there.
It's congested.
Brother, you frequently visit the congested Balaji Lodge
but fret about congestion here.
In fact....
Shakeela Bhanu and Eeregowda's love blossomed in congestion.
I mean, in congestive circumstances.
Tell me.
What's your dilemma?
How do I explain?
On Wednesday, I had made up my mind not to go to her house at any cost.
But on Thursday morning, I visited her.
Damn it!
I know what kind of weapon is in your armory.
Useless fellow!
What made you change your mind?
She lured me with fries.
Unknowingly I was there with a frying pan.
Mindless fellow!
Carried a frying pan to have fries.
By the way,
did you give the chillies by yourself or...
did she put her hand into the bag and picked it?
Look Eeregowda....
She is like a bathroom.
Feels like taking bath upon seeing her.
Shakeeranna....
I had warned him earlier.
Party around your own bonfire,
not to alight other bonfires.
He didn't listen to me.
My God.
Alighting some other bonfire has left him charred.
I am aware of it.
Now that you have slept with her,
what's bothering you?
Shakeeranna....
I have defaced my caste
by sleeping with a lady from a pork eating caste.
Keep your mouth shut.
Pork eating is forbidden to these guys.
Beef eating is forbidden to us.
Fine, let it go.
People preach about caste on one side
and secretly eat all things they wish to.
But these caste barriers aren't considered
while sleeping with someone.
When we can cross caste barriers to sleep with someone,
why can't we cross these caste barriers for a better life?
'Don't know if anybody could catch on to Eeregowda's perception,'
'but these three did.'
'This is precisely why all four of us are fond of Eeregowda.'
'Well.... Eeregowda is a farmer from Srirangapattana'
'In his 12 acre land attached to River Cauvery he grows...'
'ragi, sugarcane,'
'onions, green chillies, cucumber.'
'He practices multiple crop farming.'
'Regarding cucumber,'
'he supplies cucumber'
'for the prasada at Guru Raghavendra Mutt.'
'Also, he supplies vegetables to Rangamma's hotel.'
'He sells the surplus produce at the Mysuru market.'
'He's a devotee of Goddess Nimishamba.'
'He never fails to visit the temple every Tuesday.'
'Another important thing is....'
'Professionally, Eeregowda is a farmer,'
'as well as a tailor.'
'Especially, ladies tailor.'
'If Shakeela Bhanu's family is famous for selling thothapuri,'
'Eeregowda is famous for his thothapuri cut.'
'I swear,'
'a blouse with his signature thothapuri cut,'
'is exemplary in size and fit.'
'A masterpiece.'
'What's a thothapuri cut?'
'You only watch it.'
Nanjamma,
the last time I saw you was in the fair last month.
How are you?
Are you fine?
Fine, my foot.
Is Gowda there?
Mr. Gowda, Murthy is here.
You are missing since a fortnight.
My daughter was scheduled for a surgery,
so was staying at her place.
I have to oversee a trial,
will join you after that.
Fine.
How is the fitting Sister?
Thothapuri cut's fit is amazing.
Seems like I am not even wearing a blouse.
Usually, this is the response for thothapuri cut.
Eeregowda, what is the V shape cut at the back for?
All thothapuri cut blouses
will have a V cut as a combination
for ventilation.
That's good.
Please deliver the remaining blouses by next week.
How much advance should I pay?
Pay 500 for now.
You can pay the balance later.
A suggestion.
Please use a small purse to hold money.
If the notes get wet,
they are not accepted by the bank.
Sister, you may leave now.
Eeregowda....
your thothapuri cut is quite popular in Srirangapattana.
What's it's specialty?
Should I reveal it?
Would you loose anything by revealing it?
How do I explain him?
Fine, come.
Whose thothapuris are these?
I was passing by Imaamsaab's house,
got two kilos out of the fresh stock being unloaded.
Good.
What is this?
Thothapuri.
Thothapuri with stem.
Yes. -Isn't it?
These Thothapuris
have to be accommodated within this box.
Is it?
But it's not possible to keep these inside with the stems intact.
Is it?
Can't you see?
Stems are a hindrance.
So what?
Isn't it?
But...
What is to be done to keep these thothapuri in this same box?
Stems need to be removed.
The only way to keep them in this box is by removing their stems.
Yes.
Now they easily fit in the box.
Further?
But...
Our profession
doesn't allow that luxury.
According to the size of the substance,
we provide additional space.
Now I get it.
This practice of providing additional space
is the specialty of thothapuri cut.
You can send over your wife too.
I shall provide this special cut to her secretly.
'Eeregowda's residence is at Bandikeri.'
'And his tailoring shop'
'is at Anche Thippaiah street.'
'Lots of guests visit their home.'
'He is closer to his Grandmother than his Mother.'
Stop it, grandma.
You have been continuously pounding since 20 minutes.
Why? Don't you pound?
Answer me.
Why will I pound when I don't eat betel nut?
Really?
'She is Nanjamma.'
'Eeregowda's assistant.'
One more thing...
She is fire when provoked.
And flower when treated well.
That's it!
Nanji, you seem to be thriving after joining Eeregowda as his assistant.
Absolutely.
He is one of a kind.
He evokes hunger and also satisfies it.
Do you want to try?
Shameless woman!
'This is just a sample.'
'Nanjamma stays in Paalahalli, near Srirangapattana.'
'Her parents are daily wage laborers,'
'she is a tailor.'
'Though flunked in her 10th class....'
'she has cleared the tailoring course.'
'Everyday she commutes from Srirangapattana to Paalahalli.'
'Earlier, Nanjamma was working as a home maid.'
'From 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. she would work in six houses.'
'She was honest to the core.'
'And sincere as well.'
Shilpa...
Coming.
Yes Mom.
Give this to Nanjamma from a distance.
Make sure you don't touch her.
But why Mom?
You are too young to understand. Just go and give it to her.
But you were okay with Lakshmi's contact.
Lakshmi was an insider,
and the new one is an outsider.
What does outsider mean?
Just do as I say.
What does outsider mean?
Tell.
Now...
What is a dog that is kept at home called?
Pet dog.
And the dog that stay in the streets?
Street dog.
See.
Though both are dogs,
a pet dog and
and a street dog are poles apart.
I have two questions.
Please answer.
While cleaning and washing,
they are allowed to touch your clothes and utensils.
But are not allowed to touch you.
Where is the logic?
'She started working at this house recently.'
'Not more than 15 or 16 days.'
'One Saturday,'
'around 11:30 a.m.,'
'when the inevitable occurred.'
Madam...
What is it?
Can you please spare me a minute?
What's wrong?
I need to talk to you.
Your salary date is still ten days away.
It's not for salary.
Can we please talk in private? Please...
Hmm.
Father...
Medicines are kept in the room,
please take it without fail.
What is it Nanjamma?
If you don't mind...
I need a sanitary pad.
Can you give?
Shouldn't you be making prior arrangements for such things?
The due date falls on Monday,
don't know why,
but it has advanced by two days.
Wait, I'll get it.
By the way...
Where will you change?
Shall I change in the bathroom at the backyard?
No, no, no.
Children use it.
My husband won't agree to use the attached toilet.
Do one thing.
Find a place outside to change it.
Look, one more thing.
Don't come to work during your periods.
It's impure.
Hey, Nanjamma.
You are not listening to me.
Nanjamma...
You asked for the pad and are going away.
No need Madam.
Let me not spoil the purity of your pad.
A suggestion.
Periods are not impure.
Still it's considered impure.
Pad may get dirty,
but our conscious should stay clean.
I might be less qualified than you.
But I am not stupid nor am I impure.
Wear that pad in a place that doesn't make it impure.
I quit this job.
Also, no need to pay 15 days salary.
You can keep it.
'What do you have to say regarding this?'
'Najamma's hue and cry didn't stop at this.'
'It continues...'
Take this ten rupees.
But...
Please don't allow anyone inside for ten minutes.
Because I need to change my sanitary pad.
Just a minute.
Take back your ten rupees.
Why?
I might not have a daughter,
there is a lady at home, my wife.
I don't mind starving for a day,
but this is not the way to earn money.
Take it.
Why did that lady come here?
She went to read the headlines from the newspaper that was kept inside.
What?
Madam, I am done with the chores, I shall leave.
Wait, let me give you the offerings.
Nanjamma, take it.
'With such hard feelings,'
'can you guess where she took the offerings from?'
'She directly went and joined a tailoring course.'
'God willing.'
'Nanjamma and Donne Rangamma are much like'
'debit and credit in Eeregowda's passbook.'
'Nothing goes unnoticed.'
'For example,'
'please watch it.'
Mr. Gowda,
it's Donne Rangamma.
Sister...
It's good that I met you.
Please lend me 800 rupees.
I shall return it tomorrow.
Please don't mind brother,
I just emptied my purse.
Not even a single rupee left.
What can I do?
Please check your hot box once.
There is no dearth of such dialogues with you.
How can you refer a blouse as hot box?
Some things are learnt visually,
some have to be touched,
in order to analize thier warmth.
Here is the 800 rupees.
Usually notes are crispy,
now I realise, they can be warm too.
What is this Mr. Gowda?
Whenever a lady takes out money from her blouse
you term the notes as wet and also warm.
What's your logic behind this?
My nature is such.
As soon as I find a wet field I dive into it.
Brother...
Instead of ladies tailor,
you should have been a gents tailor.
Why so?
You dive at the sight of wetness.
It would be a sight to look at you jump at a hint of warmth.
By the way, what was the purpose of your visit to Shivapura on Friday?
Just the purpose.
Did she tell you?
Why are you bothered about the source?
Just tell me the reason.
You are a telltaler and a tale-bearer.
Look at you.
Sister...
Wherever I may go,
in comparison to your cheeks and cups, we are mugs.
I shall take you to task later.
You go with sister.
I have to go to Balaji lodge.
What?
Do you have to go to Balaji lodge at this hour?
Yes, few ladies from Yellandur are waiting for me
to get their blouses stitched.
I need to take measurements.
You could have as well called them to our shop for measurements.
Aren't you aware that we are closed today
on the occassion of Pitrupaksha?
Brother...
I have never seen paksha being held at your house,
and you are talking of Pitrupaksha.
God knows the actual paksha.
What nonsense?
Sister,
if you both have any suspicion,
you can accompany me
or you can come later.
Location is Balaji Lodge.
First Floor,
room no 14,
non-ac.
I shall take leave.
Brother...
You aren't carrying any tape for measurement.
As the pattern is thothapuri cut,
hand measurement is the norm.
'Beyond the comedy, mischief and humour,'
'there is another world for these three guys.'
In the entire world, referring an orphanage as a temple
must be only the three of you.
Why? Don't you think so?
Just give it a thought.
God preaches that humans should serve each other.
But in temples, mosques and churches
people serve God more than humans.
Won't vulnerable people,
inspite of the presence of parents and God,
remain as orphans?
And in this orphanage,
children staying here
neither have parents nor God.
Still they assist each other.
Isn't humans assisting each other,
the actual service?
Now tell me.
Who are the actual orphans and orphanage?
Which is the actual Temple?
Yes! You are right.
Come dear.
Ask Parvathi to try this.
Tell her that if it is still tight,
I will stitch a new one for her.
I will be back in a couple of minutes.
Okay.
Fine.
Brother...
Have it.
Mr. Gowda.
During your last visit,
you had altered four blouses of mine.
It's already come off.
Saralamma,
a five kg bag can withstand 5 kg fruits.
But, even an excess of 200 gram
will open up the stitches.
Brother...
Whatever it may be,
biryani from Sister's restaurant has to be eaten in a donne.
That's actual joy.
Lemon has to be squeezed,
tamarind has to be squashed.
That's actual joy.
Aren't all the colors beautiful?
You all have to share.
No fighting.
Take this.
And this one...
Kabbadi... Kabbadi... Kabbadi...
Rangamma...
Your patience and courage is laudable.
Ambujamma...
Kids should be handled patiently,
and the world courageously.
That's the secret of survival.
Still, it's not a small thing to have
the motherly affection to other's children.
It isn't compulsory to deliver a baby to be a mother.
Breastfeeding isn't compulsory either.
One just needs to have perspective of a mother.
Fine.
If childless mother's start thinking like you,
there won't be any orphans left in the world.
So you were praising her, huh?
Let her be.
Lets talk about you.
You are an age barred bachelor.
Didn't you like anyone?
Nothing as such.
A few years back when I was in Gejjalagere,
I had an affair during the winter.
We broke off in the summer.
Why so?
She said that my nature is very soft like an idli.
I said that mine is a hard one.
That led to break up.
Small matters turn out to be crucial.
Let that be.
Nanjamma was very attached to a girl,
Julia Robert.
Here is what you had asked for.
Manjula...
Naga Lakshmi.
How are you?
Here you go.
Keep combing.
Fine.
How are you doing?
Do you still bunk classes?
What's my dear Julia up to?
Hi!
Hi.
This is the only english word that I have learnt from you.
If you visited regularly,
I would have thought you more.
This is enough for me.
To help you in your studies,
I have got your favourite exam pad
as well as the sanitary pad.
I won't be alive till my next cycle.
I had been to the hospital on Thursday for a check up.
That is when I got to know.
My next periods is due on 17th of next month,
But but I won't be alive beyond seventh.
Though you were aware of it,
you hid the truth from me.
Isn't it?
Julia...
Don't worry.
Stay strong.
Keep faith in God.
Mmm...
Which God?
Jesus Christ?
Allah?
Or Lord Ganesha?
I hate God!
God who gave me cancer,
could have at least given me
one of my parents.
I was devoid of it.
But, what he gave me was a name, Julia Robert.
Who asked for a name?
I don't even know
who gave me the name Julia Robert.
Sister,
Please seek help from Jesus Christ,
or Lord Ganesha,
or Allah, and save my life.
Please.
Brother, why are you gazing at her?
She is well-endowed,
I felt that her blouse is poorly fitted.
So I was taking an approximate measurement from a distance.
Where is Nanjamma?
She is with kids.
Stop looking at those files and hurry up.
Lets complete our agenda and leave.
Brother.
When will you cut my blouse?
I meant,
when will you give a Thothapuri cut to my blouse?
Is it?
Give me a call after the winter.
Not only a cut,
I will carve a cutout.
Now leave.
We shall take a leave with your permission.
Fine, take care.
'In Shakeela Bhanu and Eeregowda's case,'
'the initial emotion between those two was...'
'silence.'
'Gradually silence'
'turned into conversation.'
'But,'
'Eeregowda's conversation would be with others,'
[speaking in sanskrit]
Please hurry up, it's getting late.
Okay, Madam.
Muniswamy,
what is the status of compound construction?
I am yet to propose it to the Landlord.
Timely proposal leads to
a prosperous yield.
Are the saree falls available?
I shall give you in a moment.
None of the colours are matching.
By the way what about my lipstick color?
Your lip,
and our stick.
Upon combining becomes lipstick.
Fine.
Will deliver all the blouses by today evening.
Now tell me.
What's cooking between him and his brother?
It's getting complicated by the day.
Whats the complication?
Hard to explain Eeregowda.
Even after I provided security to his loan,
my brother doesn't have any regards towards me.
Shameless fellow!
Look,
respect and regards
are like a saree and a petticoat.
Though worn together,
one needs to be tied,
the other one has to be pleated.
'This is...'
'Sree Basaveshwara Modern Rice Mill.'
'Imaam Sahib's family'
'purchase rice from here.'
'Not only that,'
'even Eeregowda purchases rice from here.'
Where are you Seena?
You better show up at the rice mill within half an hour
along with the interest amount.
Or else...
Hope you remember the warning to your wife.
Dear...
'Bhoothayyana Maga Ayyu'
Why?
Can't you properly address me as Manja?
Fine.
As a friend, a small piece of advice.
When there is River Kaveri water to drink in Srirangapattana,
why do you drink needy people's blood in the name of interest?
A fairly-earned bread is better than
an unfairly-earned burger.
Look, we could possibly escape God's wrath,
but there is no escape from our deeds.
'Very well said.'
'Even though they had stolen glances at each other,
'this was the look that caught the wave.'
'But Eeregowda didn't turn back to look at her.'
'Grace of Love.'
'Though silence prevailed between them,'
'they both frequently crossed each others path.'
'Because,'
'Eeregowda was fond of pani puri at Ramanna's cart.'
'Whereas Shakeela Bhanu,'
'was fond of donee biryani at Rangamma's hotel.'
'Also on her way to bus stop,'
'Shakeela Bhanu had to cross Eeregowda's shop.'
'On the way to office and back home,'
'they saw each other.'
'Sometimes at the footwear outlet,'
'or at Madhappa's juice center.'
'Other than these,'
'Eeregowda was aware'
'of Shakeela Bhanu's visits to the Rayara Mutt.'
'Shakeela Bhanu got to know that Eeregowda also visits Dargah,'
'on a certain Wednesday.'
'Apart from this,'
'they frequently bump into each other'
'at Mysuru's Shivaram Pete.'
'Because Eeregowda purchases his tailoring materials'
'from here.'
Excuse me.
Please give me two colorful briefs.
'Silence between them broke out.'
Excuse me.
Can I keep the tool inside?
I meant, can I keep the Tailoring machine inside?
Abbu is not here, please come later.
I am going to the city,
and I will have to carry it all along.
Shall I keep it now
and discuss the details with your Father later?
Fine, keep it.
Thanks.
Thanks for what?
For allowing to keep the tool.
I said thanks for allowing to keep the tailoring machine.
'This was the first time that Eeregowda spoke to Shakeela Bhanu.'
'One week later,'
'Shakeela Bhanu spoke to Eeregowda for the first time.'
Has the SLMS Bus left?
It won't come for three days.
Why?
As the driver's wife is having her menstrual cycle,
he has stayed back at home.
Sorry, just a ritual mischief.
I know.
The bus is here.
"Hey."
"Have you ever fallen in love?"
"Yes!"
"Have you ever lost your heart to someone?"
"Yes!"
"Open the door (To your heart) sweetheart"
"Listen to me sweetheart."
"Please wait sweetheart."
"The bolt is stiff, my darling."
"Think over Eeregowda."
"Before you open the door (To your heart)"
"Life is like a fizz drink"
"Loosing the fizz will make it dull."
"What should I do now?"
"Admit it Eeregowda"
"That you have fallen in love with me!"
"That's it!"
"Open the door (To your heart) sweetheart"
"Listen to me sweetheart."
"Please wait sweetheart."
"The bolt is stiff, my darling."
"Losing your heart is a sweet feeling."
"Reciprocate the feeling to settle the score"
"Admit the truth."
"Who am I to you?"
"You are my Taj Mahal!"
"I am your Lalith Mahal."
"Let's move ahead as I have already surrendered my heart to you"
"Don't do it Mr. Eeregowda"
"Madam is too strong to handle."
"What should I do now?"
"Open the door (To your heart) sweetheart"
"Listen to me sweetheart."
"Please wait sweetheart."
"The bolt is stiff, my darling."
"A kiss will make me happy."
"There is no point in denying it."
"Better get married."
"And embrace the joys and sorrows of life."
"You are like a rasgulla."
"Can I touch your cheeks?"
"Come closer to me."
"Let the heart beat."
"Initiate proceedings carefully."
"A small hole will sink the entire boat."
"What should I do now?"
"Let go of the Khara baat (bitter thoughts)"
"Listen to your 'Mann ki baat' (thoughts of your mind)"
"That's it!"
"Open the door (To your heart) sweetheart."
"Listen to me sweetheart."
"Please wait sweetheart."
"The bolt is stiff, my darling."
Why did you stop singing?
From a long time, I wanted to ask you
By the way,
how come your Kannada is so fluent?
In school,
my first language was Kannada.
Oh!
Is it?
Of course.
Once born here,
kannada naturally becomes a mother.
Well said!
This is the reason I like you.
Fine.
Now that you have admitted that you like me,
continue the song.
Oh God!
In due course,
have lost track of the tune,
I just remember the lyrics.
At least let that out.
Open the door,
as the plough is very heavy.
Never!
Watch a sample
Sister.
How is the Thotapuri cut blouse that was stitched in my lucky machine?
I didn't feel like taking it off.
Later my husband had to take it off forcibly.
To wash it.
A breaking news for all of you.
And that is...
He is the only technician in Srirangapattana
who services tailoring machines.
This is where Eeregowda gets his machine serviced.
Lets see how this machine
stitched a relationship between Shakeela Bhanu and Eeregowda.
Namaste Sir.
Welcome Eeregowda.
Any issue with the machine?
Machine has broken down once again, Sir.
It's the festival season.
Everybody expects immediate delivery.
It will be very helpful if you can service the machine at the earliest.
Fine.
I will get it done.
Pick it up from my home in two days.
For the next four days,
shop will remain closed.
Fine.
Wait.
Serve him in a bowl.
Fine.
What is it?
Keema balls.
Keema balls from your side,
and thread balls from our side.
Imaam Saheb and Eeregowda's relationship,
is similar to toothbrush and toothpaste.
Glaze and glamor when put together.
Mr. Imaam Saheb.
Yes.
I shall ask you a question with a mischievous intent.
You must give me a honest answer.
Go ahead.
Even though,
you and your family are renowned for
selling tothapuri with the stem intact.
Still, in your younger days,
haven't you feasted your senses with Thotapuri from other's farms?
This is just out of mischievousness.
Ask no questions and hear no lies
Rangamma.
Namaste.
What brings you here?
Is Mr. Imaam Saheb at home?
No he is not here.
He is off to Nanjanagoodu.
What is it regarding?
I had given my machine for service,
he had asked me to collect it from home.
Is that your machine?
Yes, that's his machine.
Any doubt?
Please come in.
Please sit.
How are you?
Please have it.
Sister.
Rangamma.
Namaste madam. - Be comfortable.
Very happy with your surprise visit.
How are you? - I am fine.
What about you?
I am fine... -Clearly visible.
As fair as a cucumber.
It came out of flow.
Please don't mind.
Ignore his words Madam.
I had been to his shop after leaving my bike for service.
He said he will drop me after taking delivery of the machine,
so I accompanied him.
It's good that both of you visited the house on that pretext.
Tea is very tasty.
Have you added cardamom to it?
Yes. Don't you like cardamom?
Nothing as such.
I am fond of rice and cardamom.
In case of rice, bran is removed.
In cardamom's case, skin is peeled off
Her jokes have no time sense.
Can we take the machine?
Sure.
What nonsense were you talking?
Brother, we should do it when we feel like it.
Your machine is too heavy.
Do you know when was the first time
Shakeela Bhanu visited Eeregowda's house?
Mr. Gowda.
Hello.
Is Eeregowda at the shop?
No.
I have come to his house.
Who is speaking?
I had given a blouse for stitching last week,
it's cramped at a couple of points.
It's suffocating.
I have to speak to him.
Is it?
He is here, talk to him.
Mr. Gowda.
Hurry up.
There is a call for you.
Why are you screaming?
There is a fitting issue in a customer's blouse,
talk to her.
It's very hot,
you will get tanned move to the shade.
Who is it?
It's me chit fund Parvathi.
Oh, it's you.
What is the matter?
I had given a few old blouses for re-stitching,
three blouses out of those are having a cramped fit.
Sister, no matter how many times you repair old blouses,
volume and character are never in harmony.
Sister, let me be frank with you.
Repairing old transistors and blouses is fruitless.
Fitting will be an issue with the blouse,
transistor hardly catches frequency.
Then, how do I wear those blouses?
Those are your daily wear right?
Yes.
Wear it without a bra.
Then, you won't sweat,
nor will it be cramped.
Balance will be intact.
I'll hang up.
What makes you stunned Nanjamma?
How do you know that balance will be intact?
Can't a diver predict the depth of water?
Namaste Mr. Imaam Saheb.
Namaste.
How are you? - I am fine.
Is your Father home?
Yes, please come.
Come - Take them inside Nanjamma.
Please come.
Welcome. -How are you Mr. Gowda?
I am fine. How are you? -I am fine
Like a bond of fortune to the house of the poor.
Namaste! Namaste! - How are you?
Welcome.
Namaste.
How are you?
After you came to our house for last year's Ugadi festival,
you're coming now.
Don't you remember us meeting near the dargah
during the Deepavali festival?
I was talking about visiting our home.
Fine, we will make sure to
visit your home during every festival.
But, instead of sweets,
you should serve us keema balls.
By the way,
how is Shakeela Bhanu?
She is also here.
Amazing,
landing her right foot first
in an auspicious way
Shakeel Bhanu entered Eeregowda's house.
O' Goddess of prosperity, Lakshmi, come in our house.
Our mother...
God willing.
God bless you my child.
You have come to our house like a Goddess of prosperity.
It's okay, dear.
May God bless you.
It's all your blessings.
Please take your seats.
Please sit.
Serve them dear.
That's okay, Son.
You people carry on I will be back in a while.
What brings you here?
My elder son's wedding is
on the fifth of the next month.
All of you must come without fail.
'After extending the invitation,'
'ladies assembled in the kitchen,'
'and gents got together at the backyard.'
'But Shakeela Bhanu,'
'stayed back in the living room talking to Nanjamma.'
'At the same time,'
'Eeregowda joined the conversation.'
She is Nanjamma,
my assistant.
I sew the hooks,
and she sews something else.
Sorry, I meant button hole.
Have you taken off today?
The thing is,
my brother is gone to invite our relatives.
As Abbu can't drive for long hours,
so I took off from the bank today.
So glad.
Whats there to be glad in this?
I meant that I am glad she came to our house.
If something is itching you address it at the backyard.
I have no such issues.
Then you better keep your mouth shut.
She is personification of the phrase "A stitch in time saves nine".
What about your shop?
I will have to open it now.
So glad.
I don't understand whats there to be glad in this.
Pleasure of opening
is only known to the one who opens.
Fine.
You guys enjoy the pleasure of gladness.
No need to take her serious.
Speak something else.
By the way...
How is your machine working now?
She means,
the tailoring machine that we had given
for service at her Father's shop,
she's asking if the tailoring machine is working after service?
Yes.
Look,
you better don't speak anything.
Stay quiet.
I shall go and get tea for us.
'Shakeela Bhanu and Eeregowda's journey took flight from here.'
'At the wedding,'
'They were joined by'
'Rayaru from the Rayara Mutt,'
'and Sister Victoria.'
'You might be wondering who is Sister and Rayaru is.'
'Let me introduce them.'
'Firstly, Sister.'
'This tailoring machine was presented to Eeregowda'
'by none other than Victoria Sister.'
'This tailoring machine's number is 34 -34.'
'Unlike others, you are the only one who gets a gown stitched from here.'
'She is not an old fashioned house wife to wear a blouse.'
'It's better to repair a tap single handedly.'
'Multiple hands will lead to leakage.'
'She is unique.'
'She performs rituals in the temple,'
'and also prays in a mosque,'
'and even delivers oration in the church.'
'Above all,'
'she is an avid reader.'
By the way Sister...
Why do you love books?
What nonsense?
Don't you love brinjals?
'The only book missing in her home library is Bible.'
'Isn't it strange?'
'Her house may be small,'
'but she has a kind heart.'
It's your turn.
One, two and three!
Milk for Iqbal.
Slowly.
Time for a surprise.
Who will be getting this book?
Iqbal.
Sister, I am asking you out of curiosity.
Is it true that you don't have a Bible?
Isn't devotion adequate for prayer?
Bible induces faith,
books provide redemption.
'One more thing.'
'Sister played an influential part in Iqbal's adoption by Rangamma.'
Why did you bend the bike?
Sister likes to bend before pounding.
'Sister was introduced to Eeregowda'
'by Rayaru Mutt's Rayaru.'
'The same Mutt that Shakeela Bhanu visits.'
[Sanskrit chantings]
If you all wish to see the Almighty right at this moment...
Look here he is.
A Mother's womb is the actual Sanctum Sanctorum.
'They both are the BFFs of Srirangapattana.'
'Their association is not based on'
'religion, caste, prayers or worship.'
'They bonded over books and literature.'
'Humanity could be the only other reason.'
'One more thing.'
'Rayaru has a special liking for Shakeela Bhanu's Veena concerts.'
'Sister loves Rangamma's voice.'
'Lovely!'
'Shakeela Bhanu and Rangamma'
'are exceptional rural talents.'
'In any cultural event in Srirangapattana,'
'their program is a must.'
God bless you.
Hari Om!
Lunch offering is ready.
Fine, lets go.
One more thing.
We don't have any objection regarding other programs,
Someone from the other caste playing Veena during worship
is unacceptable to us.
Also, is it necessary that Sister to be invited for every program?
Instead of offering prayer to Lord Krishna,
you are presenting an accusation.
Music is for pleasure.
Oration is meant for evolution of thoughts.
Unision beyond religion and rituals
is the genuine reminiscence of God.
Please stop thinking from an external perspective,
and dig deep into your inner perspective.
Fine Rayare.
Let our choice between an external perspective or inner consciousness,
remain between us.
Also, note this important point.
From now on...
she should not be involved in Mutt's programs
We will book a violinist for Bajane.
But, we don't want her as the vainika.
Strings are common in both Veena and Violin.
If you still prefer the strings of a veena,
let the Veena stay
but the Vainika should be one among us.
We don't have any kind of disregard for any individual or religion.
But in traditional matters,
it's better to consider,
this is not only mine
but, the entire devotee community opines the same.
Being a trustee of the Mutt,
shouldn't I fulfill my responsibilities?
Just a minute.
Please excuse me.
For my words...
Hope you understood the point.
If I was in your place,
I would have left by now.
Mr. Gowda.
What is it?
Whatever it may be,
you wash the cows really well.
If you wish,
I can wash other things as well.
You better do your job.
Oh, my God!
Mr. Gowda.
Shakeela Bhanu Madam's car is coming.
Come soon.
Madam...
Phew!
Why didn't she stop the car?
How silly.
While urinating,
if asked to stop in between
is it possible to stop immediately?
What is it?
It's for her, not you.
I see...
Count it.
Please don't be silent.
Please speak.
Come lets go to a lodge and speak.
Look...
Even I am deeply in pain with the Mutt incident.
That doesn't mean you should stop speaking.
Look, Mister.
You shouldn't disturb someone while shopping,
it leads to variations.
Please keep quiet.
Last seat in a bus
and last size in a bra
will never vary.
Listen.
Is something stuck down your throat?
Whatever may be stuck,
you better keep quiet Sir.
What did you have for breakfast?
Me?
Hey!
Mr. Gowda -Yes.
Presuming that she is at home,
what makes you believe that she will speak to you?
In a first night,
what is the guarantee that, switching off the lights
will lead to suggestive sounds?
It's a belief that
switching off the lights
will lead to suggestive sounds.
Similarly,
it's a belief that she might speak.
An ant is entering the blouse,
shoo it away before it bites.
Yes.
We need 3.5 kilos of Thotapuri Mangoes.
Stemmed or stemless.
If you want Thotapuri mangoes,
you should visit our shop at the market.
I know.
Sometimes there is stock at home,
so we came over.
Sister.
To be frank,
he is not interested in thotapuri or it's stem.
He just needs to speak to you.
Didn't I tell you that she won't speak to you?
Why did you bring up the topic of stem?
It was you who brought it up.
What?
Behave Mr. Gowda.
Even after me closing the door,
why are you still standing here?
Even after closing the door,
what brings you back here?
Look...
You might as well choose to keep the doors of your house shut,
but please keep the doors of your heart open.
You didn't give us Thotapuri mangoes,
At least get yourself a Thotapuri cut from him.
I just asked her to get a Thotapuri cut.
No, Abbu.
Excuse me.
I need to talk to you.
Look, I don't want to talk to anybody.
Please don't say so.
Please!
"Stop flowing out dear tear drop."
"Is your confrontation justified?"
"Speak out, you sorrow of the eye.'
"Your voice seems worn out."
"Your silence"
"Has a 100 angles to it."
"Reveal the reason before you leave"
"From being the daughter of the house"
"Was pushed into isolation."
"Brindavana is just an excuse."
"I am tired"
"And exhausted"
"Please give a valid reason."
"Stop flowing out dear tear drop."
"Is your confrontation justified?"
"Hey poor girl."
"Excuse the situation"
"Crumbling is not a Woman's attribute"
"Disclose your agony bearing the pain"
"Rectify our faults"
"Please come."
"Please come closer."
"Not a teacher to correct faults."
"I am your fellow classmate."
"My words are a cry of anguish."
"I am shattered."
"I am disintegrated."
"Please justify this to me."
I heard about it.
Deciding not to play the Veena ever again,
she has left the veena at the Mutt.
Caste!
It's a greater threat than fire.
If this fire of caste catches up,
it will neither turn into to ashes
nor will it die down.
It's a live coal.
It will constantly keep burning.
What shall we do now?
If you can keep it a secret,
shall we all
have a couple of pegs of rum?
Yes, Nanjamma.
Every Saturday, Sister
has a routine of having a couple of pegs.
Yes.
Every week,
I am the one who gives her company.
Initially he was scared.
Afterwords?
Upgraded to mixing.
Melody that the mixing generates
and the high that the sweat provides
can only be felt when you have a drink with her.
Fine.
It's getting late.
Shall I order?
Order it for both of you.
What about you?
Chilled Beer.
Here you go.
Have it.
What did you do?
Offering to Mother Earth.
And you didn't do it.
I offer milk to Mother Earth,
not alcohol.
Offering is an individual preference.
Acceptance is,
recipient's destiny.
Oh!
Cheers!
Rayare,
it's me Eeregowda.
Eeregowda?
What makes you call at this hour?
Rayare.
Please excuse me.
I have drunk "Holy water".
It's still 12:40 am,
Mutt will be closed.
Then who gave you the holy water at this hour?
I am not speaking about the Mutt's holy water.
Alcohol.
I know it's wrong to call under the influence of alcohol,
but I am not able to suppress my agony.
Agony knows no time limits.
But will be sure of whom to share it with.
What is your agony?
Will tell you for sure.
Nanjamma...
Pass on some salad.
What?
Is Nanjamma accompanying you?
Not Nanjamma.
Nanjappa.
Wrong pronunciation.
Nanjappa, pass on some salad.
No need, give it later.
Yes, Rayare.
Quickly tell me the matter that you called for.
What is Shakeela Bhanu's mistake?
Was playing Veena her mistake?
Or having born as a Muslim her mistake?
You urge people to overcome
the self imposed barriers for a peaceful life,
but even you are not exempted from it.
You are in confinement.
Temples are built using soil,
mosques are also built using soil,
even a grave is built using soil.
Why is the affectionate characteristics of the soil
missing in humans?
"You fool, is your head filled with soil"
is a common scolding one gets from parents, teachers and others.
But the insight that the soil possesses,
is not present in any one of us.
If you feel that I was disrespectful of you,
you can punish me.
But this agony is a fact.
My humble request to you is...
Shakeela Bhanu should play the veena again,
Rangamma should sing,
and Guru Raghavendra should be contented.
Worship can even be done in a grave yard,
but delusional perceptions
needs no ground.
Hello?
Hello Rayare?
Hello...
The call got disconnected abruptly.
May be Rayaru has run out of currency.
'Three days later,'
'Rayaru calls Sister'
'and asks her to meet him.'
'They took delivery of the jeep from the service station,'
'and headed to Shakeela Bhanu's house.'
I need to speak to all of you.
Mr. Imaam Saheb,
not sure whether this milk knows that it is in liquid form.
Matter of fact is,
this milk will not know whether it's in a glass,
or in a Muslim House,
or in a open field,
for sure.
Because, this milk doesn't have any barriers.
This milk,
will always have the freedom to flow in the path it is directed towards.
Even I have got such freedom at this point.
After this description,
what prompted the change in me,
what made me come here,
need not be explained.
Shakeela Bhanu,
come here dear.
In this Brindavana,
I see Guru Raghavendra,
and you see Allah,
and some see Jesus.
This Brindavana
is similar to a free spirit.
Anybody can see anything that they wish to.
But before seeking someone,
we should be familiar with ourselves.
If you are clearly familiarized with yourselves,
then you can clearly evaluate others.
I hope you understood what I'm trying to tell you.
From here on,
until your death
you should never give up playing Veena.
You will arrive at such a decision
was not imagined by me in my wildest of dreams.
Unintentionally, I made a mistake by calling you that night.
Please forgive me.
To awaken consciousness,
good deeds are not the only way.
Even mistakes,
might awaken consciousness.
Now,
It's your responsibility to take the Veena from the Mutt,
tighten it's strings, get it polished
and give it to Shakeela Bhanu.
Rayare,
if you are done, shall we leave?
Rayare,
the other day when I had called
I had said "Pass the salad Nanjappa."
It was not Nanjappa,
it was actually Nanjamma.
It's true that I passed on the salad,
but I was only drinking a soft drink.
Rayare!
"Taste the Thunder"
Brother? - Yes.
My phone is ringing, please check on it.
Are you serious?
Why?
The phone is inside your blouse.
Don't want, I will do it myself.
Fine.
Hello?
Who is it?
It's me, Rangamma.
Shakeela Bhanu.
Oh, it's you.
Tell me Madam.
I came to the Mutt to collect the Veena,
But I was told that you and Mr. Eeregowda
have collected it a while ago.
Who is it?
Shakeela Bhanu Madam.
Carry on.
Yes Madam.
We have got it to tighten the strings
and get it polished.
Where are you guys?
You know Nanjumalige near Padma theatre.
There is a Veena service center.
We are heading towards it.
Stay there.
I will also join you guys there.
What?
Will you join us?
Shouldn't I?
Nothing as such Madam
Please come. We shall wait for you.
Namaste Sir.
Namaste.
How can I help you?
We need to tighten up.
What?
A public tap.
Miss, this is a Veena service center,
not a tap service center.
That's how she is.
She starts sucking at the sight of a finger.
Just like kids.
Please tell me what are you here for.
We are here to tighten the strings of the Veena
and get it polished.
Is it?
Give it over there.
Fine.
Come.
By the way,
what is the process of tightening the strings?
Do you begin with knoting it up or opening the knot?
Please move.
Mr. Gowda, have you ever flicked?
Flicked what? -Strings.
Just like there is no leaf that the goat doesn't eat
there is no string that he hasn't flicked, isn't it?
If you both can stay silent,
we can get the strings tightened and leave.
What's going on here?
They are tightening the strings.
I learnt that you were responsible for Rayaru's transformation
and eventually leading me back to playing Veena.
Thank You!
Just a minute.
It's all right if you don't smile,
but please don't cry.
'Eeregowda is famous in Srirangapattana'
'for taking measurement for a thotapuri cut of a blouse.'
'For the ones who don't have a reference blouse,'
'or if there is a difference in size,'
'he visits there house to take measurement.'
'The pioneer for Thotapuri cut'
'in Srirangapattana is Donne Rangamma.'
'After all this,'
'may be in the last week of April,'
'the court case was ruled in her favour of Rangamma'
'and she shifted to her own house.'
'God willing.'
'Along with it to buy a small plot,'
'she applied for loan at Ammani co-operative bank.'
What brings you here Eeregowda?
Sister called me to take measurement for her blouse.
Do you get very close while taking measurement?
Polyster doesn't require closeness,
cotton does.
As she is here,
ask her to take the measurement.'
She can't even take a thamboola after lunch properly,
forget measurement.
If she takes 34 on one side,
and 36 on the other.
How can I fill the sack?
Fine.
Take it yourself.
Hello.
Why has the vehicle not come yet?
Mr. Gowda, when is the first time you took measurement?
When I entered puberty.
Here she is.
Sister.
So, you are here.
What took you so long?
I went home to deliver a rice bag, hence late.
Is it?
That is all right.
Nanji,
you had taken the recipe for tamarind ketchup,
did you try?
I did try.
But the taste wasn't the same.
That's the reason why
once Sister enters in
there are no second thoughts.
Lets take the measurement
Why are you stunned?
He said "There are no second thoughts, once Sister enters in."
But, aren't brothers' the one supposed to enter in?
Did I ask something I shouldn't have?
Come here.
Coming.
You come in and let her stay here.
Have you got paper and pen?
Yes.
Note down the measurements from here.
I shall finalize those papers.
Fine.
Whom are you looking for?
We are from the Ammani Co-operative bank,
is Rangamma at home?
Yes, she is.
What is the matter?
She had applied for a loan in our bank to buy a plot,
so, we are here for inspection.
Are you her brother?
Hello Mister, I am her husband.
Sorry, he told it by mistake
I said it by mistake, sorry!
Who are you?
He is our new Manager,
Mr. Ele Madappa.
Beatle leaf or Banana leaf?
Thorny leaf.
Can we meet Mrs.Rangamma please.
She is inside.
Rangamma...
Oh!
Nanjamma.
How are you?
Are you fine?
I am fine.
Where is Rangamma?
The thing is
to get a Tothapuri cut for her blouse
she is giving measurements to Mr. Gowda.
Please take your seat.
What?
Thotapuri cut for a blouse?
Yes.
Apart from Mr. Gowda no one can explain it,
or show it.
You please be seated, Sir.
You please be seated.
I have to note down the measurement.
Fine.
Are you ready?
I am ready.
Fine, note it down.
Go on.
12, 16.
Okay.
From left to right 8.5.
Okay.
From right to bottom 10.5.
Did you note it down?
Yes.
Once noted down, you should reply
or else the engine will move ahead.
Shall I continue?
Yes.
34, 34.
Fine.
But Mr. Gowda,
What?
From where to where?
From bathroom to foyer.
Did you note it down?
Yes.
What?
From bathroom to foyer.
You fool.
It was you who said it.
I may say anything,
are you stupid?
Will there be a foyer in the blouse?
What should I note down?
Note down.
34, 34.
Okay.
Mr. Gowda.
Why is it so silent?
Only if the engine pulls them,
can the cabins be counted.
Oh God!
What is this Mr. Gowda?
A simple process of measurement has made you sweat so much?
Keep quiet.
Terrace tiles has increased the humidity.
Namaste.
As it is the thotapuri cut,
I was taking detailed measurement.
When did you come?
We came before you started sweating.
My... My... My...
Even without a tape, his way of taking measurement is exemplary
I am sweating.
Madam.
God's grace!
Doors of Shakeela Bhanu's reservation
opened up completely.
The Thotapuri cut that made Shakeela Bhanu wholeheartedly laugh.
The same Thotapuri was responsible for another development.
See it yourselves.
Mr. Gowda, I have a question.
Shall I ask you?
What is it?
Just like there is no smoke without fire.
Won't a snake dance in the absence of pungi?
Won't it dance?
Why not?
It definitely will.
You just need to open the lid and tickle it.
Tea.
Keep it there.
Nanjamma.
Yes.
Come here.
Yes, tell me.
Ask Sister to come over if the scooter service is done.
If not ask her to come and have a cup of tea.
Fine.
Just a minute Ms.Nanjamma.
You were alright until now.
All of a sudden why are you hissing like a snake?
As you opened the lid and tickled it,
that is why I am hissing.
Keep ironing.
Hey Nanjamma.
What brings you here?
I came to meet him.
Is he at the shop?
Both Mr. Gowda and Rangamma are here.
You go ahead and I shall bring her along.
Yes, tell me.
Sister, please come and have tea.
Also the Muslim Madam is here.
Whom are you referring to as ' Muslim Madam'?
Shakeela Bhanu Madam...
Is it?
How long will it take?
Sister, it will take time.
I have to strip it down
How come?
You are ever eager to strip down?
I meant the scooter.
Did I say that I have to strip you down?
I shall beat you black and blue.
Why are you fighting with him?
Put that down.
Come lets go and meet her.
I will be back in the afternoon.
Just a minute.
What is it?
If there is anything in the box Please carry it along.
There is nothing inside.
Check it once.
Wait.
Let him check.
What is this Sister?
A liquor bottle.
Sister...
Do you drink?
It is a liquor bottle.
But it contains hair oil.
You better mind your business.
Come.
Keep moving.
This Nanjamma should be exposed someday.
Why were you fighting with him?
Why did you keep that bottle there?
Don't you know that I drink?
I am very much aware,
I was pretending in front of him.
By the way,
will you carry this bottle in front of her?
You are right.
How shall we manage?
Keep the bottle inside your blouse.
A fat purse will be the justification.
Hello.
Who is it?
It's you!
You have given a surprise visit,
I am confused.
Please be seated.
Tasty masala tea.
Cardamom will be pinched into it.
Still, won't match the taste from your side.
Because the breed of cardamom used your side is completely different.
So, tell me.
Are you here to get a cut?
I meant thotapuri cut.
Thing is...
Namaste Madam.
When did you come?
I just came.
How come you are here instead of hotel at this time?
I was tired of bending and pounding.
Scooter to be precise.
Yes, scooter.
So I had brought it for service.
Mr. Gowda,
you have wasted no time in slipping it into her hands.
What?
I meant tea.
Better mention it.
It should be presented on arrival
and slipped in when asked.
What?
Firewood.
Fine.
Why are you still standing Sister?
Take the tea and have a seat. -Okay.
If you slip it into her hands as well
she would have been happy to gulp it down.
Fine.
You are such a blabbermouth.
Please have it.
Hmm, thank you.
By the way,
what made Shakeela Madam to come in search of our brother?
Anything special?
Nothing as such.
The other day, I was upset.
When he came home asking for Tothapuri,
I had not given it.
So, before plucking the stem,
I came over to give him Tothapuri.
What is so shocking in me offering thotapuri to him?
They are stunned at the mention of stem.
Stem?
Am I right Nanjamma?
If stems could stun people no one would have dared to pluck the fruit.
Your conversations is going over my head.
I shall make a move.
We would be happy if you stayed for a some more time.
No. Bye Nanjamma.
Bye Rangamma
Bye.
Keep coming.
Wait.
Excuse me.
Reason I called you is,
if you don't mind
I would like to give you a nickname.
Is it thotapuri?
Yes.
Just that the stem need to be plucked.
Very well.
Whether Eeregowda should have mentioned
"stem needs to be plucked".
Can be discussed later.
[speaking in sanskrit]
A movement was stirred in Eeregowda and Shakeela Bhanu's relationship
by tailoring machine, veene and thotapuri
this person's entry will create a sensation.
And that will be Thotapuri Part-2
[speaking in sanskrit]
But, before you leave,
there is a small introduction VT.
Please watch it.
How was the movie Ms.Nanjamma?
Who is the Director?
Vijayaprasad.
Naughty Rascal.
'Don't get tired and leave and don't go and get tired.'
"Open the door (To your heart) sweetheart"
"Listen to me sweetheart."
"Please wait sweetheart."
"The bolt is stiff, my darling."
"Think over Eeregowda."
"Before you open the door (To your heart)"
"Life is like a fizz drink"
"Loosing the fizz will make it dull."
"Admit it Eeregowda"
"That you have fallen in love with me!"
"That's it!"
"Open the door (To your heart) sweetheart"
"Listen to me sweetheart."
"Please wait sweetheart."
"The bolt is stiff, my darling."
"Losing your heart is a sweet feeling."
"Reciprocate the feeling to settle the score"
"Admit the truth."
"Who am I to you?"
"You are my Taj Mahal!"
"I am your Lalith Mahal."
"Let's move ahead as I have already surrendered my heart to you"
"Don't do it Mr. Eeregowda"
"Madam is too strong to handle."
"What should I do now?"
