Veluswami 'anna' will talk

You should clap non stop

Grandma, you know to take

'arati', the welcome ritual?

Hey, get the liquor bottles down

They will give you

Don't be in a rush

Follow the queue

Don't rush

Wait

Only one per head

Get the liquor and come

Don't push

Wait

Form a line

Water company 'anna'?

You did not go?

No

Not accustomed to this

Not used to buying

in this manner

Let them settle down

Where is your friend?

She has gone

to get the liquor bottle

Oh! She drinks?

No, she has gone to

get it for her father

'Take off your hand'

Hey boy!

Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Wait...wait

Hello

(loud voices)

Go, I will get it for you

No need

I'm quite capable

of getting it myself

Don't push

Move aside

Don't grab

(loud voices overlapping)

He has got it

Is it the second time?

The liquor is over

Vacate the place

Wait

For me

It's for the military

Keep a bottle aside

It's over

'Leave the place

and run away'

'Or join our party'

'Leader is very magnanimous'

'He will forgive and accept you'

If they don't give

we must help ourselves

That's power

Look! This is height

of perseverance!

Here, go and

give it to your father

Let him drink and die

Hold it

My father isn't an alcoholic

He drinks to clear

the phlegm in his chest

True, her father drinks

to clear his chest

My husband drinks for me

to beat my chest and lament!

Let's go

My husband will

bring the roof down

Hey boy

You saw me struggle

to get just 1 quarter

But you never thought

of getting 1 for me

Don't hold my hand

Your 'rose' petal, huh?

Did you get

the 'biryani' packet?

Bloody scoundrels!

They are refusing to

even give water packets

Hold this

If they don't give

we must help ourselves

That's power

'Confirmed, he will get it for you'

Why do you disgrace yourself

by going on all fours for this?

Only if I drink I can

see my Soundaram

My beloved Soundaram

Just like the Goddess Annapoorani

seated in the inner sanctuary

'Like goddess Shakthi

I can see her everywhere'

'Nothing in this world

compares to a woman's love'

'Nothing at all'

Brother, move

What, boy?

Move

Where are you going?

Where are you taking the bike?

"Love you...love you,

love you...Jasmine"

"My perfumed Jasmine"

"Miss you...miss you,

miss you, jasmine"

"My scented jasmine"

"My fragrant jasmine!"

Rose garden, get down

"My dear flower

In a pink churidhar"

"Waiting in the bus stop always"

"Followed you for many days"

"Don't ridicule me

as a clown funny"

"On your neck are white patches

Your feet with cracks and scratches"

Why are you following me?

Don't come up to the rose garden

You'll make life hard for me

Go

"You don't wash your face daily

Why kill me with your beauty?"

"Your buck teeth so pretty

ruins my sleep, dearie"

"In my phone I stored with glee

your name as 'wifey' you see"

"I tried real hard

to get your 'okay' nod"

"As 'husband' in your phone

My name I wanted you to own"

"My energy depleted

when it got deleted"

"Love you...love you,

love you...Jasmine"

"My perfumed Jasmine"

Alankottai, get down

"Miss you...miss you,

miss you, jasmine"

"My scented jasmine"

"My fragrant jasmine!"

Didn't I tell you the other day?

Why do you keep following me?

You asked me not to follow you

up to rose garden, right?

I got down at Alankottai

Come, Mahesh

She already told you

Then why are you disturbing her?

Ask her to reconsider it

He will celebrate his love

and your daughter

"Love you...love you,

love you...Jasmine"

"My perfumed Jasmine"

"Miss you...miss you,

miss you, jasmine"

"My scented jasmine"

"My fragrant jasmine!"

"Like oil massage at Hogenakkal

you rejuvenate me with your eyes, girl"

"My sister's miracle daughter, jasmine

You refuse to become mine"

"Your smile is so precious

You are my lucky mascot auspicious"

"You're a fresh grinding stone

Give me a favorable reply soon"

"If you say 'yes', I request

100 more wishes, dearest"

"In the flex banner at our wedding

we posed together, my darling"

"A color video we shot amazing"

"On our wedding night you came in

Looked at me with shyness overflowing"

"That dream went a-dissolving"

"In the flex banner at our wedding

we posed together, my darling"

"A color video we shot amazing"

"On our wedding night you came in

Looked at me with shyness overflowing"

"That dream went a-dissolving"

See fast

He is missing

Look around

Brown shirt

He is peeping from there

Yes

Disconnect now

Hello

You...?

I swear I never

expected you to come

Can I see the house?

Careful

What are your qualifications?

BA History

Attended college for 2 years

Then started working

in the water company

Is it enough to apply powder

and come and 'see' the bride-to-be

If a girl should come

and live here...

...don't you know

she needs basic amenities?

Television

It has 50 channels

Every night new movies will be

telecast in the local cable

Blender, fan, grinder

I have bought

basic necessities

Don't you have a bathroom?

Here

Bathroom...?

Don't you have a toilet?

No

We use the open ground

Your sister told me everything

Come, Mahesh

Let us go

Wait

Why?

This is the reason

There were no toilets for girls

when she went to school

No toilet in her house either

She will only settle down

in a house that has a toilet

'Come, Mahesh'

She likes you

'You have hooked her

at the right time'

Cleanliness is essential

for a country

Hygiene is more important

If I say this, my words

will go above your head

Only if a girl tells you

your brain registers it

Super!

There's a scheme

'Live life to the fullest'

Govt is providing aid

to build toilets

For the past 6 months

this plan is in the offing

Estimate has been given

In our area 20 to 25

is possible, right?

(humming)

Careful, its 4G

Ration card,

Voter's ID

Govt identity card

Keep all these details ready

Take copies without fail

I'll call after getting the forms

Come to the Block Development office

- What?

- Okay, bro

Sir, there are totally

38 applications

I've gone through them thoroughly

If you sanction it

the toilets can be built

And our people can

'Live life to the fullest', sir

Are you mocking me?

If I sanction it

does it mean it is finalized?

There are so many formalities

Fund has to be mobilized

Good morning, sir

Collector's assistant called

to discuss the free toilet issue

'Yes, sir'

'The files have gone to the minister'

The contract is taken up

by our Tuticorin 'annachi'

'They are now in good terms, sir'

'Sir, percentage?'

'10% give or take a few'

'It is in the bargaining stage, sir'

'District officials get 4 shares'

'Then the officers'

'There are about 7 to 8 tables, sir'

'I'll book a conference call

to the minister's assistant'

Before we discuss the matter

let us talk about the money

Quotations have arrived

from 8 companies

'From the centre to the state

bribery is the key to collaboration'

'Collector, contractor, MLA, BDO

councilor, all are waiting in a queue'
