Reiu... M.

I did not gain anything!

Here my fate was being written

by my grandpa sitting in heavens...

whereas Meena's fatewas

being written by her father.

He decided to get hermarried

off to Tangaballi.

Meena was neither happy

with it nor was it her choice.

Who would have thought

that the tip of India...

would begin a new chapter

in Meena's and my life.

Brother, what are you

looking at with such fear?

ls this yours?

Yes.

I'm sure there is RDX in this.

He is... no he was!

My name is Rahul

and I'm not a terrorist.

You know, sir I came from Mumbai to

immerse my grandfather's ashes, that's all.

I told the police

everything truthfully.

And my chemistry with

the people of Komban.

After hearing all this, allthe

Marine police officer said was...

So, the people of

Komban know you, right?

Hello sir!

Hello, dummy.

So nice to see you...

your fellow brothers

are droppingme to Mumbai.

You left me right?

Because of some smugglers

I went away to Sri Lanka.

You didn't go away.

You came back...

to Komban.

How can that happen?

Look...

run away all by yourself.

Then you get into

troubleand use me to...

get out of it and then

you say get outof the car.

Yes that's what I said.

Get out please.

I won't get out.

This car belongs to my father.

If you don't get out,

I will take you back there.

Then from Miss you will become Mrs.

Before that, from Rahul

you will become Late Rahul.

No! I mean, I don't think

there'sany parking here, lets go.

What happened?

Has the vehicle broken down?

No, who told you that?

What is with the smoke, then?

Smoke?

The car is smoking a cigarette.

And do you know why I came outside?

I thought to myself, that.

...I could wait andrelax

here and Tangaballi would come by.

And, when he does come,

the threeof us can play together.

Can't you see?

Your father's car is

even worse than your Hindi.

You have wrecked the car!

Don't call this a car,it'd

be a sin to call this a car.

This car has saved your life.

It's not a car, it's a wreck!

My father's favorite car!

Go...

Catch it, Rahul...

Catch it,

RahuLWhat are you... run.

It's Appa's favorite car,

RahuLCatch.

Oh no!

Here you go...

Here, Meenamma baby.

Your father's favorite car.

Actually the problem wasn't your father's,

neither was it his wrecked car...

the problem is yours.

You see wherever you go, you carry

a free trouble pack along with you.

Bad luck!

Actually you are like a black cat.

Worse than a black cat!

If you cross the path of the black

cat, the black catwill get cursed.

Then why are you with me?

Why am I with you?

Why are you with me?

Please, Meenamma. Stop stalking me.

From now on.l will go my way,

you go your way!

Alright.

Fine by me.

But by the way. You stole the car

and drove in the wrong direction.

Now we have only one way out.

You will have to cross

Komban again! Komban!

Don't scare me with Komban.

If you are not with me,

I will manage on my own, like this!

Impossible.

There's no word called

impossiblein my dictionary.

Really? From where did

you buy sucha rubbish dictionary?

Don't underestimate

the power of a common man.

Get lost.

I thought I would never

meet Meenamma ever again...

but fate had decreed

something else altogether.

Hello, sir.

I need to find the road.

Where... is... the highway?

0K8?'-

Why are you doing that?

I want to see the road.

Where is the highway?

Where is the highway?

0K8?'-

trouble.l feel bad, then.

The two of us have

the same problem.

At this age there is

no need for a new language.

0K8?'-

0K8?'-

Excuse me brother.
