Fine, I'll do what you want

But instead of only you liking it

ask your sister to do so too

Only then we can all be

one happy family!

Aiyo!

Kathir, I am the psychologist here, right?

Only I can find out

when someone lies

So...I don't even have an older sister

Saroja Devi doesn't exist?

I have even tattooed

her name on my chest!

I don't see it

It merges with my complexion!

Fine, you cooked up an 'akka'

Don't you have a younger sister?

Not just a sister

I don't have a family of my own

Only those who don't have a family

know the value of kinship

You claim you have no family

out of sheer bottled up anger

What will you do if they

suddenly leave you?

If you don't appreciate them

when they are part of your life...

...there's no use missing them

when they are no longer with you

'Go to your hometown now'

Stop it

What's all this?

They are the elders of this village

When they heard you are

an army officer, they wanted to-

Will you start singing

as soon as I say 'army'?

Keep quiet

How are you, son?

I am doing good

Ask...ask

- Ask him

- What do I ask?

Wait, he'll take it out

What?

They said you'll bring

army 'fuel' along with you

- They wanted to taste it

- Yes, my dear boy

They are the respected elders of this village

They are old hands

He is 73

He is 72

They are all 70+

- Must be a large bottle

- Be quiet

'Be patient'

Rangasamy, he is enlisted

in the army but even now...

...he's pressing a ball like a kid

It is his...er-

- Go...go home

- Liquor?

He'll slap you

Holding a flag to boot

You call yourself

a respectable man!

Fat hopes!

Come here

I told them you won't bring liquor

No need

- Come this side

- Where?

I told them-

What?

Smile

Look here and smile

With a heavy heart I was forced

to take your mother's sacred chain

I didn't have the heart

to sell it, nor retain it

So I melted the gold

and made it into a chain

- I can give you Rs 30,000

- Thank you

"Like a child bowled over

gazing at the 1st raindrop ever"

"In wide-eyed wonder"

"I fell into her world of splendor"

"In my life till now I was oblivious

I missed those moments precious"

"I bloomed when she reformed my ways"

"New senses fell in place"

"I walked past a flower pot daily

Discarded as junk justly"

"But this pot cast aside however

nurtured a bud to bloom into a flower"

"Bewitching eyes cast a spell

in my mind and heart as well"

"Feet waiting to walk beside me proudly"

"Hands patting my shoulder fondly"

"With mini-moments many

a new meaning she gave me"

"A future ever so rosy

assured me, this lassie"

"From a mere shadow

she chiselled a statue"

"She endorsed my tears of joy as true"

"Why am I alive?

I was so indecisive"

"Not taking time to analyze

I ran away from my own life"

"Why did you plan

to make me a new man?"

"My repressed rage

Scars in storage"

"She flung into the middle of nowhere

She healed my heart with love and care"

"She dusted the cobwebs away

Made me a humane being today"

"An eternal wave of bliss

in a niche of my life she is"

"In a wind that blows night and day

her love is a 'live' relay"

"With mini-moments many

a new meaning she gave me"

"This lovely lassie of mine

blessed me with a life sublime"

"From a mere shadow

she chiselled a statue"

"She affirmed my tears of joy as true"

"A brook singing so spontaneously"

"Bees buzzing in a meadow simultaneously"

"The playful sun spreads its rays to reflect

on the moon in the sky like a basket"

"My mind in a delightful daze

watches nature's grandeur and grace"

"It soaks up every pleasure

to cherish life as a treasure"

"Like a child bowled over

gazing at the 1st raindrop ever"

"In dewy-eyed wonder"

"I fell into her world of splendor"

"In my life till now I was oblivious

I missed those moments rapturous"

"When she reformed me

I blossomed gradually"

"I revelled in new senses repeatedly"

"This is the military liquor you wanted"

Only army personnel

will have access to it

I am also from the army

But I never got this

Were you also in the army?

'Oviya's army'!

Shut up

Let me pour

Oviya army

Why not?

Drink to your heart's content

I am very happy today

Preserve this state of bliss

till you get married

She changed my life in 30 days

with a ball worth just Rs 30

She said, 'Your problem

is only in your vision'

Did she say so?

Short sight

or long sight?

Glasses can give you 20/20 vision

'Good or bad is how

you perceive life', she said

Even if I am a tough nut to crack...

...she showed me

the kind spirit hidden inside

Even we are full of spirit within!

But anyway-

Yov! How come all of you

are buzzed with just 1 round?

[unintelligible rambling]

Drink this tender coconut water, sir

Where am I?

This grove belongs to me, sir

You were fully sloshed

lying flat on the riverside

I brought you here

Where are the others?

They left long ago, sir

I have met you earlier, sir

Aren't you Selvi's elder brother?

Yes

Selvi and I have been

dating for 5 years-

We want to get married, sir

Your father also knows

He spoke to my parents

I don't know what transpired

After that, Selvi is just not

the same girl I fell in love with

She says we aren't compatible, sir

Even during her college days

I was scared in case people spotted us

But she was so brave

'We are anyway getting married

Who can stop us?' she used to say

If we don't get married

whether I feel sad or regret it

...I know Selvi will be shattered

I didn't know how to deal with this

That's why I thought

I should talk to you

Help me out

Please, sir

- What is your name?

- Kesavan, sir

Selvi, I just met Kesavan

Heard you've been going steady for 5 years

There's some kind of hassle

Why didn't you tell me about him?

Hey! I'm talking to you

Why should I tell you?

I'm your elder brother

Anna?

For whom?

Just because you stay here now and eat

what I cook, will you become my brother?

What do you know about me?

Do you even know

what I have studied?

My likes and dislikes

Do you know anything?

'You left us when I was 12'

Have you called me and

talked to me at least 1 day?

Do you know what

a motherless girl goes through?

Your father and sister-

Why shouldn't I tell him?

You won't tell him anything

Neither will you let me speak

You may be scared of your son

There isn't any need

for me to be scared of him

He thinks we ruined his life

With the money

you send every month...

...you think we are

living in a palace?

You're so self centered

Selvi, don't mess up your life

because you're mad at me

What is the problem?

Kesavan's mother is the trouble maker

She called me over to their house

Spacious bungalow

Affluent family

1st she said she wouldn't

consent to this alliance

I somehow convinced her

by pleading and persuading

She wanted us to give a dowry

of 40 sovereigns of gold

I said we cannot afford to do so

'Then why does your daughter

aspire to marry my son?'

It was a slap on my face

'I can't perform your wedding'
