and channels are true?

It is all created dear! Like this one!

But this is really atrocious!

Story must be sensational and the

circulation must go up, that is all dear!

Are you coming to fashion show by

evening? There will be smart boys, girl!

Both of you are happy now!

There was not much

clarity for the photo.

But mine was good one!

Both the guys are fire

brands! Must meet Balettan,

heard that went cross

with the boys of Akkilesh!

Where there is violence,

our party will be there...

then for the poor and starved.

Hey man, where, your

party is there, there is violence!

Rajesh, leave them alone!

You don't get worried!

We are supporting them!

Don't you know where the party

office is, on top of beverages?

Okay then, see you!

Be careful, men

started to take attention.

Is the aluminum

roofing of the house over?

Over!

Is the leaks done with?

Finished!

So all your things are going

smoothly, but from your newspaper,

I'm not getting any benefit.

Had not the report

of Kerala Yatra appeared,

even though when I was on leave,

gave the news at the right time.

I saw that but also saw the story of

two idiots by the side of our news.

That news about the NRI boys, is it

not? That is only to fill the columns.

We have seen these kind

of madness, of the men

who have money, long before.

But anybody can understand,

in that, here and there...

I'm the one, who is sly poked!

Who had reported this?

A lady in the probation.

Told to publish, as it was

a story with a positive note...

from the minister's college.

Are you a bureau chief or...

But in the youth page!

Don't beat about the bush!

There should not be any kind

of follow up, on this story!

Why is that you told you will scribble

some positive story before the election?

Roopesh is working on the plan.

It must appear before the election.

Who is that? Mathew

sir got conned or what?

That news about those two

American boys, on that news...

it seems Akkilesh's Kerala

Yatra got duped up!

Threatened, will assault, if one

does any kind of follow up on that.

Then you don't take up that, our

channel will take up that story.

Man don't you have any other job!

If it comes in any

channel I will be in trouble.

I have decided to cover

that story, early morning itself,

when I asked three days

leave, for my sister's marriage.

I was told to come up

with some interesting story!

Leave that man!

No, will spice up, with

damn good visuals and all.

Who had put clavier spade.

That was striked by queen.

Then in that case, let the

Jacky be on top of the queen!

Everything, should be in

the mood of a live reporting.

Will enter after an intro, that is, in

the back ground there is house.

Not only back ground I

should be also in the frame.

Why don't we put the camera in a

low angle and charge and take like this!

Hey man don't make me mad!

At least today we must

have an exclusive, my buddy!

Living among us but

not like us, the two men,

who had become role

models for us, Johns and Korah.

Today in Youth and Talk we

have stunning life stories of them...

who had stolen the hearts of youth.

Keep it on the table!

Slept or what?

Got it man!

This is the cost cutting,

here the soap is cut and kept.

Paper napkin, this

must be the breakfast!

Sugar, to keep away from ants!

Hallo, who are you?

I'm Srikumar Perrunna!

What do you want?

Today, in this episode,

we are meeting,

who have come from America... two!

Beef is finished,

shall we order more?

No need.

Yes, order!

Brother, beef fry

one more plate, repeat.

Who will notice when the news,

that comes in the local page...

in the paper, but your colour will be

completely changed when on TV.

That is the impact

when it comes in channel.

This will go to the very house

in America! Just wait and see.

Just be part and cooperate, then I

will manage to make it, to a big event.

Son this Mullaperiyar what is

happening on that, there was a time,

when we were all frightened,

it will break very now!

Are you sad, on not breaking, you

should be happy on that is it not?

How much is it? We are together.

240!

Upholding the simple

life followed by Gandhiji,

these two young men,

who had come from America...

Brother, is it necessary,

that this cooling glass?

My heavens! Must not

wear cooling glass!

Then shall I wear?

Not that, it may not

work out on our mood!

Shall we not add

some more flavors?

Yes, indeed!

Then carry on!

Camera is running okay!

How can you cut

short the living expense

when the living cost is shooting up?

According to Indian planning board,

for a person to survive for one day,

Rs. 28 is required, do

you agree with that?

What Rs. 28! With Rs. 83 can't live

her! Then how come with Rs.28!

Is your life, a protest

against our government?

These young men are inviting

attention to a big social

and political issue.

They are strongly protesting against

the ever increasing living cost,

making the poor, poorer, News

TV Channel is proud to bring new

generation Gandhians before

the audients exclusively.

Johns and Korah's campus stories

will be followed in Youth and Talk.

Wait and see.

This how the program

is done. Not like!

Manoj take the camera!

"Carry on, must go no with

the gimmicks till the last."

"ls the fortune line becoming

clear, or is it becoming good?"

"Carry on with it! Are they working

out on a plan? Old birds as they are."

"Hurdling the path!"

"ls the price shooting up? Or is

route to know the fact?"

"What is confronted is..."

"What a big destiny of fate.

Do not succumb to fate."

"Carry on, must go no with

the gimmicks till the last."

Here, the children of millionaires

are going to college by walking.

Get lost you and your bike!

" Puppets in some strings. "

"Do we need these games?"

"In a distant dreams,

on those paths."

"To move on, must play the game."

"And stride forward.

Must win the hearts."

"During those days, finally

we will return back."
