The entire South knows you.

One fair boy has eloped with Durgeshwara

Azagsundarams daughter in a car.

Oh no, what have you done!

Today you are in a car tomorrow you

will bethe headline of a newspaper.

No, listen to me.

You dont know, the village

people are chasing you with sticks!

Once youre caught.

..they will separate your head from

your body and put that as a headline!

Let it be... ls it their kingdom?

The girl you have eloped with,

this is her fathers kingdom!

Brother, please help me.

Go away.

Brother help me.

I became numb after hearing this...

I could see the road ahead...

But there was no way out.

Except one.

Meenamma...

Meenamma...

What is it?

What?

Youve come back to me after all?

Figured it out, didn't

you?How does it feel to be alone?

Look at your face.

It seems like you are getting a fever

because you are so frightened.

Come on now,I've come to take you.

We will go together. Come! Come!

Again youve taken the wrong route.

This is the safer route,

that side you will find Tangaballi.

Come on!

Listen, I can save you.

Listen dont underestimate

the power of a common man!

Vidamba village.

Come on.

A wedding ceremony

is going on here.

We will roam around

here and speak to people.

We can stay here for a few days...

till then father and Tangaballfs

tension will get a bit diffused..

hereand talking Ms. Subtitle.

So much style! !

Why dont you go and talk?

I can talk.

This Kunjam kunjam... what?

Your grandfather can

go take a hike!(In Marathi)

You speak in Marathi too?

Why? If you can speak in Tamil,

why cant| speak in Marathi?

Oh mother! Meenamma.

For now just go and talk in Tamil.

Ready steady go!

It seemed very pleasantAs

though nothing could go wrong.

Once bitten, twice shy...

that's why this time I did

not nod in agreement to anything!

The second time when

the villagers looked at me...

Now what happened?

Hey hey,

Open the window.

Let the fresh air in.

Here is the towel and some clothes.

Rest well.

In the morning, after your

bath,we will arrange the prayers.

Rest well.

Take care of him. Bye.-Thanks.

You know,

a film should be made on me.

I laugh my way into a mess.

Whenever people are willing to gladly

lift me upon their shoulders.

...I know I am in a trouble.

And you, Meenamma...

what are the lies you

have spun around this time?

I told them we got

married and ran away.

Have you copyrighted this story of

getting married and running away?

Then what did you say?

The second lie that

I told them was that..

..you are so good that

you will never leave me and go.

Never!

You only said that

you wouldn't leave me.

Yes.

Then I said you got so tired with

the journey that you felt faint.

That's why...

this special treatment.

The special treatment

is becausel told them...
