may be not beautiful...

what qualities do you want in her?

Still you aren't clear about your girl?

Before you could find her...

you will 101 years old...

i drea.m.

When in public,

she must address me as hubby...

in privacy, she must call me hey boy...

when i'm naughty,

she must rap on my head...

when i'm tired,

she must caress me...

a little anger...

a little softhearted...

a little selfishness...

she must posses all these qualities...

i need a princess who could

make me understand myself...

yes, i'm telling you the truth.

You have to come to india soon.

But he won't.

- Shut up.

I'll do a special make up on that day.

You must pay me rs. 5000.

Why do i need a make up on his arrival?

You must look good in the video.

It would be better you don't

do the make up.

Madam, you must hike my salary.

Has bujji raised her make up charges?

Work load increases when one more

person adds up to the family.

Nowadays, the girls are very fast.

- Yes. Super fast.

They address their husbands as hey...

the girls are very dangerous.

The other day, i gave lift to a girl.

She put her hand on my shoulders

and said "will you give me lift everyday"

same time & same place.

Selecting a good girl from that

lot is not a mean job.

Selecting a girl?

- Take a look.

She is so cute.

We discussed about itjust a week back.

Not a week.

We took 6 months to find alliances.

And it took a week to chose

the best from that lot.

I know what to do & when to do.

We're going to see the girl tomorrow.

Mother, why marriage so soon?

Why is he scared of marriage?

Tell him.

You are married. I'm married.

And we all are happy.

It's a good alliance.

They feel very lucky to get our alliance.

I think 100 times to take

a decision in my business.

Won't i think 1000 times

about his marriage?

Yes, uncle.

Is he in love with any girl?

Nothing like that.

Then, what is your problem?

Give me a reason why you

don't want to marry.

Be friendly with me.

Say something.

Say what?

- Go.

Uncle...

- i want to talk to you.

Your father said you are creating

lot of problems at home.

Meet me later.

You went like a bravado.

Shut up. He will tell you what to do.

Why are you so silent?

I'm keep on talking.

Give us a chance to say something.

So, that's it.

We are going to see the girl tomorrow.

Sure uncle.

See you.

- We are finished.

Siddhu is aravind's son.

Isn't that enough?

If not your son,

i'll get my daughter married

to anyone of your son.

They said it was about seeing the girl,

but they are talking about marriage.

Don't you understand?

Match fixing!

Greetings.

- Come & sit here.

Sit. We have no formalities.

I've 3 daughters including

my daughter-in-law.

You will be my 4th daughter. Sit.

Is she okay?

Don't think too much.

Select one of the two fingers.

Surprised?

Generally, you are asked to select

one of the two fingers.

This is your father's style.

You have no choice.

You must select one.

Forget about choice.

Be positive.

I feel she is the one for you.

Try talking to her.

Our presence might be embarrassing to them.

They might want to talk in private.

My son has no such formalities...

go & talk to her.

Sit down.

It's alright.

Please sit.

It's alright.

My name is siddharth.

Everyone calls me siddhu.

- My father told me.

My qualification...?

My father told me that you've finished b.e.

My job...

my father told me that you're jobless now.

And what about you?

My father brought me up

in a traditional way.

I didn't mean that.

Friends, love...

i was told that such things

aren't good for our families.

...my father told me.

Anything about me?

My father told me that

i'm very lucky to marry you.

What else did you father tell you?

He told me to offer prayers

to god to fix this alliance.

Go ahead & offer.

I must thank you for

accepting our alliance.

You are a fun loving person.

He too has lot of energy.

Did you speak to her?

What do you say?

I've given the best to my son till now.

And even now also,

i'm giving him your daughter.

Subbalakshmi, the only daughter

of kakarla koteshwar rao

is engaged to siddharth,

son of addala aravind.

Exchange the proposals.

I drea.m.

Everything is over.

All my dreams are shattered.

I agree that your marriage part is over.

Leave your career to me.

I will make you go mad.

I will kill you.

My father told me about your family.

I'm very lucky to marry you.

She is not the right girl for me.

Okay. I'm not the right guy for her.

You're right.

Siddhu, you are doing too much.

Have 2 pegs.

You said 2...

siddhu, don't feel bad.

Your life will be fine.

Everything is for your good.

You are a good boy.

Good boy?

Am i a good boy?

Am i a good boy?

I drink.

Am i a good boy?

I'm a rowdy.

- No siddhu.

I'm a rogue.

I'm a scoundrel.

You are drunk. Go home.

No. I won't go to that house.

I'll stand on my own legs.

Keep your legs inside.

You'll lose them.

I've lost my life.

My legs mean nothing to me.

Let them go.

What is his problem?

Who is he to decide about my life?

What did you say?

Don't i have courage?

Don't i have guts?

Ask him to come here.

I will tell him that i'm not

interested in this marriage.

Ask him to come here.

Call him.

A bit louder.

He will come.

He is drunk.

- We have come to your house.

Couldn't you tell me this before?

Do i smell liquor?

Didn't i tell you that he will score a goal?

Have milk.

Will you have dinner?

Siddhu, come & sit here.

Atleast have milk.

- No mom.

Did you drink?

Father...!

- Did you drink milk outside?

Yes father.

How many times to tell you,

it is not healthy.

I won't drink hereafter.

He looks upset for the past 2 days.

Ask him what is the reason.

What happened?

Nothing.

He is smiling & very happy.

Why do you worry?

Will you watch the match?

No. Go & sleep.

It might get late.

Look at those girls.

The gods are here.

- Go & pray for your husbands.

Are you sending us away to ogle at girls?

Oh no! How could you say

that in a temple?

She looks very beautiful, ah?

Forget what has happened?

We married guys ogle at girls.

You are still a bachelor.

Why are you inciting him?

He'll start lecturing about

character & so on.

Even now i stand by what i said.

To fall in love, you don't need to

look beautiful or have good physique.

You need to have a good character.

I butt against the girl's head.

Will love spark in me immediately?

Hey you checked shirt!

You... come here.

You butted & simply walking away.

Didn't i say "sorry"?

Won't i get horns if you say sorry?

Horns?

Yes.

If you butt once, you will get horns.

Do you know that?

You don't know that, ah?

Okay. Butt again.

Butt. I've to pray to god.

I drea.m.

Come siddhu, let's go.

Siddhu, let's go.

Hey you checked shirt!

Why are you pushing me?

Hey boy! Come in the line.

Come...

why am i offering this without

making a wish to god?

What should i wish for?

I cracked a joke to an idiot

in my college.

He didn't laugh.
