have corrupted his mind!

Not to her, speak to me!

Don't even think about it.

Krish, go inside.

Krish, go!

First tell him to leave.

Krish, go to your room!

Mind the glass...

Just go, Krish!

Every time you reconcile,

he acts out again.

Just let the glass be!

It'll cut his feet,

and he'll learn a lesson.

But what if you cut your foot?

Why don't you just leave him?

It's not that simple, Krish...

Anyway... -

He only comes here to sleep.

What difference does it make?

Wasn't he going to

open a security firm?

What happened?

He punched the only

willing financer.

I'm used to him, Krish.

But I'm scared

of your temper now.

Once your job is fixed,

stay at the company's accommodation.

I'll handle things here.

Then why should

I stay in Delhi?

- Meaning?

- I mean...

I'll earn well,

Mom, let's get out of here!

I'm not going to leave Delhi.

At least, my relatives

are here.

Mom...

Mom, I want to go to Chennai.

I'm calling Rajji at once...

Only a priest can save

my son from that witch now.

- Patti-nakka-pakkam?

- Pa?inamwkkam.

Yeah! Next to Annai

Velankanni church?

Yes yes!

Sorry, I couldn't pick you up.

I'm in Vizag for 2 days.

By the way... Welcome

to my city, Mr. Malhotra!

Thanks for coming.

I've missed you.

Very much.

You'll see half of Chennai

on your way to your apartment.

No one here knows Hindi,

so don't even try.

Use actions.

It's the least you can

do for the love of your life!

"l found love in you"

"And I ran to your city"

"l long to see you"

"My heart says your name"

"l have come to be one with you"

"l long to see you"

"My heart says your name"

My office is not too

far from your apartment...

if you know what I mean.

"l found love in you"

"And I ran to your city"

Shobha Aunty from

Texas is here.

Dinner at my place day after.

Or we won't get to meet.

Can't wait to see you!

Oh, and mom's having trouble

finding a music teacher...

so she's a little

upset these days.

Also, please don't be late.

You have to impress the in-laws!

Love you.

Hello, sir.

Krish.

Ananya's friend...?

Come... come...

Take off your shoes!

Be careful of the rangoli!

Their house was so quiet...

Like we were at a funeral!

Ananya's parents don't

believe in furniture.

Their living room

looked like...

a Punjabi home that was robbed.

The robbers didn't like the

sofa, so they left it behind.

Sir...

your house is lovely.

What lovely?

No running water.

Only 3 hours in the morning...

Unreliable electricity...

Bloody flies everywhere.

Hello, sir!

That's Radha's music teacher.

Radha's busy cooking for you

in the kitchen! What to do...

Wate r?

No! It's okay...

Yeah... Actually...

Yes or no?

Yes... Yes...

If it's not a problem...

Now that you've reached our home...

Why should water be a problem?

Rad ha! VVate r!

Yes, coming!

Hello, aunty.

Hello.

Thank you.

Sorry forjust

showing up like this...

This Ananya, I tell you...

Never asks before inviting

people over! Please sit.

Yes...

I simply can't understand...

why would your bank post

a North Indian in Chennai?

Why?! Bloody, stupid bank.

Uncle, is Ananya home?

The look on his face! Like

I was hitting on his wife.

What a strange house...

then, suddenly

I began to hear sounds.

Ah... Carnatic music!

Beautiful, sir...

sorry, guys!

- Hi, Ananya.

- Hi.

Hi, dad!

Oh, Amma's practicing!

Sorry! Mom won the Tamil

Sangam Singing Championship...

two years in a row

when Dad was posted in Kolkata!

Oh...

Sir, you must have

seen a lot of India!

I was not on vacation!

I was working,

every single day...

Uh... You're right.

I got to see a lot of India in

the last 15 years because of the job...

But in the end,

I got stuck in Chennai.

Stuck, sir?

Isn't Chennai your hometown?

Ananya... Dinner.

- Don't even think about it.

- No one's around!

Mom and Dad are right there!

By the way, you look

very nice in sari...

Thanks.

You look okay, too.

You're stuck at this beginner's level!

Howll you ever make

any progress?

You find someone else...

I can't do this.

Come!

Dad...

He's come half way

across the country.

Please be nice.

For me.

Okay?

Thank you, Dad...

No...

That's the plate.

I asked Pattama to find a

nice Brahmin boy for Ananya...

But her own daughter

ran away with a foreigner!

Listen to this.

Same story in every house!

Could you speak in Hindi?

I don't understand Tamil...

Learn Tamil, then.

Anyway, it doesn't concern you.

- Krish!

- Yes?

Let's elope?

Come on!

Okay, let's run away!

Can you?

I can't betray them...

I want my parents to be

the happiest when I get married!

I know it's hard but

we have to win them over.

Do you really want to elope?

No.

I can't leave mom

alone with dad forever.

Anyway... There's no

honour in running away.

If we weren't in Mylapore...

I'd have kissed you.

- Pattinapakkam?

- Rs. 200.

Okay, go.

Krish, I have an idea...

by which you can come

to my house anytime.

What?

LlT tuitions for my brother.

No, Ananya. No. No.

Please! Not for free!

Tomorrow onwards 6 o' clock.

What 6 o'clock?!

I work till 7 pm!

- Evening is for us to hang out!

- Exactly.

- No, Ananya!

- Bye!

I love you!

6 am tomorrow!

"When the flame of love

re-ignites everyday"

"Its smoke will rise..."

"How can it be concealed?"

My dear, you are

not perfecting anything!

Find someone else to teach you!

"l can't tear my eyes away"

"They seek only

your acceptance"

"The kohl of

your eyes tinges my days"

"While the smell of your

perfume haunts my nights"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Would that it could..."

but it can't forget"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

Hi!

I'm learning Tamil.

"Here comes your Prince"

"Shrouded in love"

"Here he is, at your doorstep"

"What do I care for riches?

They mean nothing to me"

"With you, bleak is wonderful,

you're all I need."

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Would that it could..."

but it can't forget"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

Hello?

Hello.

How are you?

Have you settled in?

Where's mom?

Hows work going?

Ls Mom okay or

did something happen?

Your mother is fine.

She's at home.

Then why did you call?

What do you mean?

To find out if you're okay.

Even if I'm not, what is it to you?

How shameless you are!

I called to ask how you are...

and you're being rude!

What have I done

to deserve this, Krish?

Krish?

Hello!

"Speaks only your name"

Thank you, sir.

For dropping me.

So, hows work?

Okay.

Nothing new?

Same bank, same job.

What could be new?

You know how to

make these reports?

Yes! Why?

The new GM...

Asked us to do Plug

Point presentations.

Power Point, sir. Power Point!

Fool! You idiot! Rascal!

Sorry, sir.

Not you,

the auto driver is an idiot!

Scoundrel!

Sir, if you want...
