'I bow to:
Breaking the barriersof caste, religion, clan
'The pain of rain to alleviate
Mankind to elevate'
and the force to unite'
'To my father of the
celluloid world'
'The truth to be told
as events unfold'
'Father'
Dhayala!
Our family will soon
have one more addition
Goddess Shakthi Our family deity!
Make sure my children and grandchildren are
hale and healthy wherever they may be
- Which month? - third
'She is slightly anemic I'll
prescribe some tablets'
She's a distant
relative of mine
If parents are blood
relatives, % chance baby
will be born with some
defect it seems?
Don't jinx it The
baby is fine now
That's enough
Must never step inside
any hospital, Malar
Good food is the
best medicine
Eat nutritious food
Be active, do plenty of
household chores
Be happy Pamper your mind
You'll have a safe delivery
Have you thought of a name?
Ilavarasi Singamperumal
if it's a girl
Boy means Chakravarthy
Singamperumal
At three months, he'll turn over At
6 months, he will sit up
At nine months run
1year, he'll talk
- I didn't deny this
- Don't butt in
At twenty one months pre-school
At 33 months LKG
I'll ensure he stands first in10th grade
12th grade he'll achieve it by himself
Study MBBS here
Send him abroad for
higher studies
He will complete his MS
at Oklahoma University
And find a job there
I will get him married to a Tamil girl
who has studied there just like him
She should talk
Tamil fluently
Both of them will land here with a fat
bank account and the proud NRI tag
I will buy a piece of
land in the suburbs
And build a hospital
for them to-
Build and then what?
Instead of letting a toddler
walk, run or play freely
killing his creativity, contentment,
compassion as a humanE being
Raise him like a robot He'll end
up being depressed and kill-
Why be so pessimistic?
our unborn baby, Malar
That soul has a desire, dream,
life of his or her own too
We should be a pillar of strength
for our baby, that's all
(nursery rhyme)
This isn't for my ears!
The baby should hear
'It is the th 7month now, why is it your
parents haven't come to take you?'
'- So keen to pack me off!
- What was our pre-nuptial agreement?'
Oh yes!!
Don't tread so hard
Gently like a bed of roses
- Only then the baby will be a garland!
- Is this okay, dear?
Here, dear
- Hi, akka - Didn't go for a walk?
Poor lady!
He is torturing her
Don't react to all that
(phone rings)
Drink up this herbal
brew, dear
'Hello, uncle How are you?'
Malar, your father
is on the line
I won't let you hassle my wife You
can be her father or whoever!
I will call you once
the baby is born
Stand a mile away, look and
vanish into thin air!
I don't want any of your clan
to come and see the baby
Labor of love for years!
When you wake up look
at God's picture
If you're bored look at me!
(loud scream of pain)
Don't be scared Push
a little harder
Take me to the hospital
They will cut you open
and ruin your health
Shouldn't you lead a
healthy normal life?
Maaa!
Step outside, son
What was our pre-nuptial
agreement?
You agreed to pay for
the pregnancy
I don't want my wife or baby
I will run away somewhere
What happened? Why this delay?
Nurse!
How many times will you call me?
Are you delivering the baby?
- You're so perturbed
- Of course I'll be
I have specified a time
My baby should be born at
that particular time
Okay, fine
'4 patients at the
same time'
I don't care about that I want
my baby delivered first
'Uncle, tell me, what did we decide
about the pre-nuptial agreement?'
Just hang up For God's sake
it is your call!
If anything happens
to my sister-
Get lost!
You won't be hearing
the end of this!
You refuse to admit her in a hospital
with proper medical aid
You are being so damn stubborn!
(newborn baby's cry)
Come and see your son
Welcome, Dr Chakravarthy
Singamperumal
'Shakthi, our grandson should
inherit your good qualities'
What is my grandson's name?
Our family deity's name
You do the honors
Vetri Easwaran
Everybody is taking
me for a ride
- What was our pre-nupt?
- Aiyay! Come on
'Your father to foot
the bill-'
Get his school admission
right now
I'll bring him over when
he is 18 months
Boy baby I'm really happy
Should bring him up to
love our society
'How will I get Rs 20000,?'
Your folks didn't pay up
the hospital bill
At least they can pay
the school fees?
Aiyay! Give it to me
What was our pre-nupt agreement?
This man?
Hold him
Hey! Come here
What?
You seem to be following me
for the past months
In this same T-shirt!
What was your pre-nuptial
agreement?
You won't tell me?
Sonny?
Why don't you tell me?
Why go to a school to play?
My mother and you are at
home all the time
I come home after work Let
him play with us
I knew you would say this
Don't I have the right to
choose my son's school?
100%, Malar
But why trouble a toddler to
tick your wish list?
Let him play till he
is 5-6 years old
Then he can go to the
school of your choice
I studied 1st grade
only when I was 6
No wonder you're like this!
My bloody fate!
Listening to my father, I agreed to
marry you and I'm stuck for life
Hey! What happened?
'So disgusting!'
- Shouldn't people we know respect me?
- Those people are lazy bums!
They don't even take
care of their kids
So what?
I have to face them!
Not you, right?
I have to talk to them
I have to cross their
paths daily
'Shouldn't I retain my
self respect?'
Aiyo! Malar
It isn't self respect
It is conceit
To keep up with the Joneses, should we
lock our child within walls?
What is your final decision?
Rs 20000, is the fees
My son has to study there
Is it possible or not?
Not possible
- My dear son? - What, ma?
Why don't you just agree?
I have given in too
often, ma
'Do what you want'
'- As you wish!
- Started her tantrums again'
'Why do you break
everything, dear?'
'You will only support
your son'
I'll get you toys
worth Rs 25000
You can play at
home with me
'No one respects me
in this house'
'Listen to me, my dear'
'Why should I live?'
'Aiyo! Dhayalaaa!'
'Look what she has done
to herself?!'
'What happened?'
(child crying)
'Appa!'
Daddy!
We live in a beautiful world,
amidst good hearted people
The world exists
thanks to them
This world is god-awful
Do not trust a single soul, they will
dig your grave while you're awake
If you look at anyone, smile and
accept them as your friend
Just a smile and they will dance
on top of your head!
When you eat, share your food
with the person next to you
If anyone gives you food
don't eat even a morsel
They will kidnap you, rob you of
your kidney and make you beg
Love everyone
So as to not prosper, huh?
Love just your own self
Your father's advice
sounds good
His father is scaring us
Whom do we follow?
What is your father's advice?
