Anbe Sivam Page #6

how dare to twist your whiskers?

Im just thinking about Mr. Padayachi

dancing to our local folk beat.

And that's my father,

Kandasamy Padayachi.

Greetings. Greetings to everyone.

Who's she?

She's with me.

Sorry, Im...

-Her name is Mehrunnisa

All religions are equal in my house.

What do you say? -Yes.

Hail Lord Siva's mercy.

Father, he's Mr. Madan.

Welcome.

Since morning, Bala was anxiously

awaiting your arrival.

Boss, the one who's wearing green

shirt is Mr. Madan.

Don't I know that?

Hello Madan sir. Im busy with

my business all the time.

I can't remember faces.

You've grown beard all of a sudden.

That's why I couldn't. -Oh God!

Since when you started sporting beard?

-I was always with a beard.

It looks good.

Look, don't be in a hurry

to catch the train.

The train won't start until

you board the train. I will take care of that!

Relax and enjoy your feast.

Okay Mr. Madan, see you.

-Won't you join us in the feast?

Hail Lord Siva!

-Boss is on a fast today.

No water too.

You carry on.

Dear, take care of him.

-Okay...

Nobody introduced me.

He's my father-in-law. -Greetings.

-Retired Magistrate.

Did you eat? -No.

Here's the dish you prepared.

Bring the other dishes.

Come on, bring them.

Oh my God!

What have you done Grandpa?

-Someone please come and clean it fast.

It's okay, just move over.-Sorry!

Forgive me.

Its alright, Grandpa.

Its alright.

Im so sorry!

Don't worry. Accidents happen...

I was talking to him.

Its alright. Why do you get upset

for such trivial things?

Nalla, come here.

Look, she has put a painting

on the dining table.

No, Madan sir.

She doesn't agree. The painting

is only visible to us.

Even we can see that.

Oh sorry.

What do you see? This's a fish and

that's a horse.

What do you see?

-I see many things, sir.

I think, Nalla is getting

into the mood.

Come on, Nalla.

Beautiful!

What can we do with the goat?

-We can only make soup out of it.

Please accept this cup.

Wow, that's great piece

of improvisation.

Can I take a photograph of that?

-Why not?

Okay, you want more height?

You need more height.

-Yes...yes.

Come on, show your skills

on the computer.

Thank you!

Wow! Beautiful! -Lights off.

Its nice.

Where is the bathroom?

-This side.

What do you want me to do?

Rs. 910 is a good salary.

That's why Im telling you to increase

the salary by Rs. 100.

They'll keep quiet for the

next 2 years.

If we keep on revising their pay...

In the future, our grandchildren

won't remain rich.

They'll become workers.

l mean to say that if we don't increase

their salaries, they'll strike work.

What can they do? We'll announce the

lock out ahead of them.

But, that's our arrow of

supernatural strength.

We've to keep it a secret.

Will Govt. let us announce lock out?

They'll support only workers.

No Mudaliar, they'll pretend as

if they're supporting them.

Who's offering them foreign exchange?

Its us, isn't it?

Do workers give them?

Can you guarantee us that Govt.

will not create any problem?

Why not?

We can go in for a one time settlement

with the politicians.

But, we can't manage them

with monthly doles.

Government will declare

this strike as illegal.

l stand guarantee for that.

Till Im gone, workers' salary will

remain Rs. 910 only.

Ill not raise even a penny.

Even you people shouldn't raise it.

What's the noise there?

Nothing. Your daughter is hosting

a party for artists downstairs.

Somebody amongst them would've

raised the noise.

What's the noise?

Since all doors are alike.

So, Im stepping in and out of every room,

searching bathroom.

You could've asked me, couldn't you?

Go straight.

No please, Ive found it.

Thank you!

Nice books.

Have you read all the books?

Did you think, is it just

for decoration?

l may look stupid, but Im not.

No, I didn't mean like that.

Im terribly sorry.

I want to tell you something

but I don't know how to begin.

Can't you help me?

How can I help you without

knowing what it is?

Im going to say ''sorry''.

But I've never had to say it before.

Oh! What for?

-For everything.

For what happened that day on

the street and what happened today here.

Sorry.

If I don't say sorry at least once,

I can't remain in peace.

But you've apologized many times now.

You must do me a favor.

Tell me. -Not just one, but two.

First, you have to step into my studio.

What's this like legendary Ahalya?

Where's your studio?

Here...Please come.

This is my studio.

Ive stepped in.

Favor number two.

You must paint a portrait for me.

Not on the computer but

on canvas.

Anything which recently attracted

or touched you.

Even a sketch will do.

Please...

Im not a girl who doesn't

respect artists.

It's true that I am rich girl.

But please don't think I am proud.

Im not like my father.

Im more like my mother.

Comrade, sorry.

I must go back home only

after dropping you.

Its raining...and the roads

are uneven, as you know.

As it is, I have a two-wheeler.

Ill come now.

-Ill wait downstairs.

Yeah... yeah...

Good night.

What about the wish?

Good night.

Nothing wrong in this.

We can send a weakling to spoil

the plan of mighty.

For the welfare of many workers...

What's wrong in this, Comrade?

My opinion says it's wrong.

We're now discussing about how to

manage the lock out problem.

So, we'll think about a way out.

Instead of doing that, it isn't our duty

to play tricks like a jackal.

Let's live like lions, Comrade.

What's wrong in dealing with it

wisely, Comrade?

Im not a politician to do

anything in the guise of being smart.

Hello, oh God, wrong number!

Hang up the phone.

Its wrong number, Comrade.

-Even, Im saying that.

Bala is an honest girl. Ill not let

you people use her as a means.

Oh! Is that so? Reached that far?

-Why do you also talk like that?

There's no limit for Anbu(affection).

No...this seems like another 2

syllable word(love).

Hey...don't!

We need to talk about funds

for the street play festival.

Let's discuss that.

An idea! Shall we ask any soft drink

company to sponsor us?

Very nice! Then, why do

you hold red flags?

You could hold the white flags.

Why keep talking about expenses?

They're not going to ask for

a 5 star hotel comforts?

Why would they?

If Nalla says so, they'll have a few

idlis and and sleep on the Verandah.

Okay, Verandah is ready.

We can't even afford those idlis.

Look, there may be about 200 people.

If we arrange basic amenities...

...how much will it cost?

-Will it cost Rs. 18,000?

I asked whether it will cost Rs. 18,000?

When did you come, slipping in quietly

like a cat....

Beg your pardon.

No, no, Im sorry.

When did you come?

When you certified that Bala

is an honest girl.

Mr.Poun said it isn't Anbu(affection) but

it denotes a different meaning(Love).

I walked in at that time itself...

Okay, forget it.

That's our personal matter.

Is Rs. 18,000 enough for you?

-What for?

For your street play festival.
