Sometimes two roads

travel side by side.

They slowly converge

at the end of the ride.

Sometimes when troubles

become twice their size...

They are halved when

shared with someone nice

Our love story is so strange.

Sometimes we progress,

sometimes we curb.

Though I am the north

pole and you are the south

Yet our love has

brought us together.

Though I am the north

pole and you are the south

We are equal partners

in every situation.

Though we fight

Our partnership is alright

With you everything seems alright.

We are two different

peoplewith different attitudes.

We wander the world in style.

Sometimes we go

apart and come back.

We live our lives in the momentour

moods change like the seasons

Though I am the north

pole and you are the south

The naughty north

has given south a wink.

Though I am the north

pole and you are the south

We will be together,

forget about the whole world.

Sometimes two roads

Our love story is so strange.

Though I am the north

pole and you are the south

We are equal partners

Tomorrow morning we can

complete the immersion ritual.

For tonight we will

have to stay in this lodge.

It's like this, Meena...

we are all so busy running

around in this fast paced life.

Our lives are no

less than a marathon...

were all running to

gain something in life.

Then someday we leave

everything and go away.

Just like I will leave

youand go tomorrow.

All your worries

will come to an end.

I'm going away forever, Rahul.

But where will you go?

Puna...

My childhood friend lives there.

Chitra.

I was wondering Meenamma whether

you will be safe there or not...

I mean what if you father's

goons or your cousins reach there?

Meenamma you come

with me to Mumbai...

My house is there...

grandma is there...

You can stay there peacefully.

Thereafter, you can decide for

yourselas to what you want to do.

You can star-t afresh.

And what if my father's

goonsreach there'?

That's not his kingdom.

That is not Komban village,

ifs Mumbai.

Nobody can do such a thing there.

And if my father asks you,

what I am doing in your house...

what will you say then?

Then I will tell him...

both of us, you know...

You and me.

It's okay, Rahul.

Pune is fine for me.

Anyway I have troubled you a lot.

lfs not your sympathybut

your love that I seek

I ask for your love

as I know you love me too

Because of the fear of the world

I promise I will never

forfeit you, my dear

I will never let you go

I will never let you go

I will never let you go

If this isnt love

Then what is love?

Now that I have won your love

I dont care if I lose the world

I will never let you go

My life has lost its meaning

Since you are not there with me

Love is renowned

Since on this path

I have walked down.

I will not leave it mid way...

From the path of your

love,I will not stray

I will never let you go

I will never let you go

Where have we come,

Rahul...l don't know...

Weve come to the right place,

Meenamma.

They will kill you...

- Without thinking twice...- No, Meena.

I have come to a decision

after a lot of consideration.

Rahul, you have gone mad.

We had run away from here.

But for how long will you run?

But for how long will you run?

Don't you have any dreams

or a life of your own?

Hello, sir.

You must be wonderinghow

I am back here by myself?

Dad... he means to say...

No, Meenamma.

Today your father and

me dont needany translation.

Were good.

Because today I will talk

and you will have to listen.

Mr. Durgeshwara Azag...

Sir!

The most imponand

man of Komban village.

Don!

Good, sir...

it's very good

to be important, sir.

But it's more important to be good.

You must be thinking

why I havecome here?

Who is he?

Am I mad?

Or am I drunk?

No sir, not mad.

And no drinks.

Not drunk.

Sober, sir.

I just came to find out why you

are beingso harsh towards Meena.

Why?

Dont you love your daughter?

No?

Because in a wedding yougive

your daughters hand in marriage.

But you tried to

sacrifice her life.

Would a father do such a thing?

No father should be like you.

No father will be like you.

Sir...

I am sorry, sir.

I am a Sweet Se||er.Sweet.

But I will say something bitter.

You can be the father of this village,

the God father of this village...

but you cannot be your

daughtefs fatherNever, sir.

Your pull and power,

full marks for thatvery good, sir.

But in one subject

you have failed, zero...

full zero, sir.

Emotion, sir.

Dont you have any value

foryour daughtefs emotions...

her wish, her happiness? No value?

No importance?

Why sir?

Let me tell you, sir.

We are in the sixty

sixth year of independence.

But just like Meena the others

girls in this village have..

..no right to celebrate

that independence.

No right!

And you people too...

if you don't care for your daughtefs

emotions,then this entire village...

this unity, Periyathalai!

This power is nothing, sir.

I say it's nothing!

And you Mr. Tangaballi.

Youre so tall, so big!

But with a small heart.

Now what do we do?

Do we fight? Come on...

Come on. Let's fight.

Hit me.

I will not fight back becausel

want to do the right thing.

No.

It is straight and simple.

I am a common man. I get angry.

And dont underestimate

the power of a common man.

What is it that you had said?

You have come here alive. But you

won't leave here alive, wasnt it?

l will cut you into

pieces and parcel it

Ya?

I will fight now.l

will fight with you.

I will fight with each of your men.

Fight everyone!

Fight the entire village

if I have to. Only for Meena.

Because I love her.

I do.

Rahul!

Father, please!

Rahul!

Rahul!

Rahul!

Come.

Come on.

Fight me.

Come on everyone.

Enough.

No more fights.

My body is no doubt very big

but your courage is even bigger!

very big.

You are like us!

Real man!

You win!

You win!

Go, Meena is yours.

Meena is yours.

Rahul and Meena will get married.

He will take care

of you his entire life.

Will look after me

for the rest of our lives.

you both will live

together for seven lives.

Those who complete the ritual...

are kept together by

Godjor next seven lives.

You love me a lot, dont you?

Then we should have

just elopedfrom Rameshwaram.

Why did you risk coming to Komban?

Meenamma, dont underestimate

the power of a...

Sweet Seller?

Sweet Seller.

Now will you nod your head

for what I am about to ask you?

Do you love me as

much as I love you?

Meena Lochini...

Will you kick me at night, mistaking

mefor your father's scooter?
