i don't want to deny you anything,

talk to your daughter now.

Nothing like that, please don't go

anywhere near my daughter.

Talk to her sir, let her take bath.

Hang up the phone!

Thank god! I'm out of trouble once again.

I accepted this when they said

i'll become famous in college.

Not famous but infamous.

It's very nice.

Very nice father.

- Very nice.

Come to board of directors'

meetings dressed like this.

How well dressed others

come to the meetings.

I felt let down by his dress,

so i got him this dress.

Isn't it good?

- Okay father.

That's it.

Siddhu, come here.

I too got one for you.

Some day you too have

to come to office.

It will suit you.

Siddhu, new coat? Very nice.

But you don't like white.

You go inside. It's nice.

You don't like white, right?

- Go.

It's really nice, father.

Are you doing it wantonly

or unwittingly? I don't know.

Will you behave like

a good son with your father?

Idiot! You are...

i abused myself.

You needn't go out

to call me on phone.

Thank god! You smiled.

Sathi, get the car ready.

Don't move. - Look she's trying to

make me a new bride.

Do it fast, we'll reach only

after the marriage.

Where is siddhu?

Father-in-law, siddhu & my husband have

gone out to buy a gift to vamsi.

Hasini is also coming with us, right?

Aren't you coming to the marriage?

We are coming.

They are coming it seems, sathi,

i'll go along with them,

i don't need an auto.

I drea.m.

Do you remember all my instructions?

Must be silent, decent and

stay calm. That's all, right?

All three mean the same, right?

All three look the same but

very difficult to maintain it.

Greetings sir.

- Greetings.

I'm very happy that you've graced

the occasion with your family.

Bujji is finished.

Am i not telling you?

Why are you calling me aunt in public?

Have i embarrassed you?

Forget about this,

it looks like siddhu is trying very hard

to keep embarrassments away.

I'm trying hard to save

my honour in my own home.

Forget it, by the way

what's the final result?

I studied something else and

writing something else.

I'm confused.

Don't you like this marriage, manju?

Looks like she's out to

spoil my marriage.

I loved him to marry.

Why are you so shabbily dressed then?

Come here.

Come to do the bridal make up.

- Coming.

What's this new get up sir?

What else can i do?

You said love excursion,

i said holiday sight seeing.

He said be careful.

That man is calling every hour to

talk to his daughter and killing me.

Why are you worried sir?

Just two more days only.

Be free like us.

- Is it?

After hearing you,

i feel little relieved.

Where is manju?

Where is hasini?

Where is charmi?

Why did you push me?

Is it for fun?

No serious.

Serious is okay, i hate fun.

Already i'm tensed.

Where is hasini?

Where is trisha?

Who are you?

Sathi! A good servant.

A servant should be like servant.

Is a lecturer like a lecturer?

- I'll be like this.

How does he know that i'm a lecturer?

What's this sir? You didn't invite me

to your son's marriage.

He didn't invite me too,

how can i invite you?

Greetings.

- Greetings.

Why are you conducting your

son's marriage in a temple?

This is too much for what he has done.

He eloped with her.

I caught him in secunderabad station,

and arranged this marriage

to save my honour.

Your son is much better

than my son,

my son threatened to commit suicide

if i didn't agree to his marriage.

Will you give in if they threaten you?

Don't we have the right

to think about their welfare?

You are too much.

They don't need good or bad.

Look at them!

Is there anyone well

behaved amongst hem?

They forget the world

if they get what they wish.

Respecting us,

if they come with the girl and say

i love and want to marry her,

think about it,

won't we think about it positively?

Won't we think about it positively,

come on tell me?

Is there anyone amongst

the crowd like that?

My clothes are getting soiled.

Look there, seniors meeting

is in progress.

What are they discussing?

What will they be discussing?

They will be abusing their sons as fools.

Youth is crazy, love is wrong,

they will be saying,

if we take a girl and tell,

father i love this girl,

is there at least one father

to think positively about it?

It's time for taking the vows,

we must present the sari, come.

Did i disturb you?

No... no... we were discussing

about sons...

what have they done?

They did what they wanted to do.

Which these people didn't like it?

That's all!

What are you up to?

Uncle will look ugly with horns.

- Shut up! If you butt him again...

leave me... leave me.

Why do you always boss over me?

Okay, promise not to butt him.

I'll try.

- Try?

Granny, look what he's doing.

It's common in love.

You carry on son.

It's time to tie the knot,

play the band.

Ready... tie the knot.

How grandly i wished to

celebrate his marriage!

I had to see this!

Okay, it's over now, forget it.

Uncle, come.

I drea.m.

Near lal darwaza...

near golkonda fort...

on the banks of river yamuna...

drums are being played...

whether it is italy or england or our india...

love is love wherever it is...

oh god! Is it fair?

Why do elders are always against love?

Oh god! What's this trouble?

Weren't these elders youth

once upon a time?

What do you really want to say?

I drea.m.

Did we ask when you beat us?

Did we ask to thrash you?

Did we fed you with love

on your request?

Did we say no?

Did we pinpoint it to you?

We never suspected your love

and affection.

If you really respect us so much,

why all this drama then?

Will children forget us

after falling in love?

You want us to marry your choice

for bringing up us for 25 years...

you want us to punish

all our future life for that...

so...

come aunty... please come aunty.

No.

Do you know aunty

is a very good singer?

Mother please... aunty please...

o greatest flautist!

Come fast...

radha is waiting for you here...

o butter thief!

Don't delay any further...

i'm chanting your name...

a virgin is waiting yearning

for you under the tree...

there's a little hidden in my heart...

i drea.m.

They talk about love...

they chant love mantra...

you forget reality in

the dreamy youth...

you create trouble...

you blare over loud speakers...

you never accept

young lovers with heart...

you never give up

your adamant attitude...

decide between us or love,

right now...

we can't compare your affection

with our love for a girl...

we can't decide between the two eyes...

siddhu, hasini's father!

Hasini...

what happened?

- Your father.

Hey buffalo! Why are you falling me?

Go... go... hide.

Are you drunk?

Go... go away from here.

Don't come here drunk.

Who are you falling on me? Go out.

Why did you come again?

What happened?

Why are you rushing out?

My father.

What's this nuisance? Stop it!

Who are you?

Is it you?!

What did i do?

What else is left for you to do?

What you should've done?

I told you many things before
