worried unnecessarily.

you're not so beautiful.

your eyes aren't so big.

your nose is dented

as if punched by someone.

you're not so fair.

Then, why should they worry?

you mean, I'm not beautiful.

you think you look beautiful,

because they say so.

Everyone will say Benz is beautiful

but people buy only Ambassador.

Believe me.

Just go down happily.

Let me see who says

you're beautiful.

pardhu, take a look again and say...

someone broke it with a ball.

What happened?

What is it?

she says ldly is good but

the chutney is horrible.

I see.

she says chilly powder would do.

No...?

Keep quiet.

It is not about ldlies or chutney.

Am I right?

In the upstairs...

I'll tell them.

The power went off when she

was watching TV upstairs.

"When you can conduct

such big functions,

can't you afford to rent

a generator", she says.

I ate.

Oh my god! - Headache?

What happened?

Ear pain?

What happened?

Neck pain.

No...?

What happened?

I'll tell you.

pardhu said she is not beautiful.

Is poori not beautiful?

Don't worry brother.

I'll handle the matter.

Is poori not beautiful?

Is her mother beautiful?

Is her aunt beautiful?

Aren't we living with them?

And you...?

What does he say?

He wants to know our demands.

Ask him to apologize to her.

What's your problem?

Everyone says she is beautiful.

But you say she is not.

Who is wrong, you or her?

Us.- shut up.

Apologize my boy.

We are not going to give up.

- Let me talk to him.

What will you talk?

- They are talking as they like.

stop it....stop it.

Why are you shouting?

He is a brilliant boy,

even before marriage, he understood

that girls are not beautiful.

What I mean to say is,

this is not just poori's problem.

It is a problem to

the womanhood.

Neither boy pardhu nor

a scholar like me can solve it.

so, I'm leaving it to god.

- What?

I'll count to 3.

When I say 3,

if it rains, it means

women are beautiful.

If it does not rain...?

This is cheating.

- What?

We won't agree.

- Why?

The rain must come from the sky.

Counting 3 is very short.

Do you want me to

count to 3 million?

I'm very poor in maths.

I can't count more than that.

ADITYA:

Gentle mischievous breeze

pinched the maiden's body...

Black clouds are thundering...

And chase with angry lightning...

The shores have melted...

Flowed in spate...

In our village...

in our courtyards...

A thousand myriad hues...

The beautiful gentle rain...

Falling at the time

of happy moments...

Even the moon of the sky will

descend here to be part of it...

To reveal the secrets

behind the silence...

Calling you with affection...

With a bang in your heart...

It's a rollicking foot tapping music...

Turning the bliss into

moments of wonder...

Won't it melt away the time?

In the lap of the

magical moments...

Won't it make you forget years?

Festoon of stars will

light our home...

shining bright like

a pearl chain...

spreading the fragrance

of sandalwood...

Turning our courtyard into

a garden of flowers...

Tune of happiness in

the rhythm of smiles...

speed of light in the flowers...

Where was it all these years?

This choral music...

spread it's charm now only...

Happiness spread around

as fun and frolic...

New tunes of bliss are playing

here like fresh first rains...

The fun and frolic is

touching the sky...

It's music of love and

affection all over here...

CBl Office...Hyderabad.

morning instead of studying?

Okay, I'll find out.
