Shall we go and see Babu?

Couldn't you wait for two months?

Fine, you went there, but...

you should've gone to Shanti's room,

why wake up her Dad?

Stop it!

- Never give any commitments.

And love is one of it. Take my case,

I'm so happy and contented... why?

Because I'm not in love and saved of

hassles, unlike you. That beard...!

That charade appears foolish.

I mean, aren't you

worried about Babu?

So? Does worrying and weeping over it

solve problems?

Look Babu, don't worry. Get on with

your studies. For Jenny and me...

academics makes no difference. But

you got to study. Forget about love.

That's our concern. To unite you

and Shanti is our responsibility.

Don't you trust us? Fine, if you

really love her, you will get her.

Say what?

- What...?

If the love between us is true,

we will be united, right?

Yes...

Don't miss class tomorrow.

- All right.

And shave that beard.

No need to walk.

I shall drop you.

And that needs no relationships.

No love, no friendship.

Let's think we're strangers. And that

you asked for a lift and I offered.

If you still insist that

you want to walk... go ahead.

I don't stay in an apartment anymore.

I've shifted to the hostel...

to distance myself

from some affairs.

I see. Then let me drop you

at the hostel.

"O'Moonlight,

are you cross?

"Why did you desert the skies? Why?"

"Love..."

"is thy name silence?"

"Is it fair to deceive

your own heart?"

standing faraway, you'll try

to touch the sea shore

if you go near, it'll go far!!

Both of them are restless!!

Our feelings are wavering

like sea waves!!

Not my fault this time.

The car broke down on its own.

Let me check.

Snapped wire.

Two minutes.

God! I saw nothing!

It's my habit to say thanks

to a stranger who drops me.

Great habit!

I can understand if you fool a rustic.

But, didn't my moustache scare you?

I asked you to take me to the

college. And you took me for a ride?

No sir...

- Get lost! This is no theatre!

Come, let me drop you

at the Christian College.

What for? I've paid him.

Go away, let me deal with him.

Sir! Don't! No one moves without you.

Look at the traffic jam.

Come, I'm going there,

I shall drop you.

Come on, sir.

How do you survive in this city?

I can see nothing but deception.

But you are good at heart.

Am I right?

Always smiling.

I love that smile.

Do you know my daughter?

- Whom?

Selvi.

- Selvi...?

You won't know, for all the crowd.

Do you know the women's hostel?

Which one?

- Some Rani...

Rani Mayamma?

- Yes, Rani Mayamma.

I won't forget that hostel.

My friend stays there.

Not an ordinary girl she is.

She's very egoistic.

What?

- Egoistic.

Meaning?

- It means...

What to say...?

Let me say she is mean.

She never apologise even if she knows

that she has committed a mistake.

I see.

- Yes.

She wouldn't give up.

She is as adamant... how to say?

A stubborn ass?

- Right.

If a girl has that attitude,

can't I? Say what?

Right, right.

Right.

- Yes.

That's the building sir.

- Than you very much.

Do drop by our house if you happen

to come to Kuttalam. Bye.

Daddy!

- How are you, Selvi?

I'm fine. Where's Mother?

- She wanted to come, I refused.

Why are you late?

- Don't ask me. Cabbie messed it up.

Then a boy... wait.

- Where to, Daddy...?

Gentleman! Yes, you.

Come over here.

Why are you standing there.

Come here.

Didn't I tell you someone dropped me,

after I had a fight with the cabbie?

He's the one.

This is my daughter. Selvi.

- Selvi?

That's my pet name.

- I see.

Come, let's have some coffee.

- No thanks...

It's our custom to give treats

to our guests. No coffee, not fair.

Invite him.

- Come for a cup of coffee.

Let me park my car, sir.

Go on, I'll be back.

Make it fast. Come on.

This is your last year. I'm here to

say that I'm considering your wedding

You're always at it, Daddy.

I'm not marrying now.

Why not? As you wished, I sent you

to study. Can't you fulfill my wish?

Please sit down.

- I won't.

Why not? Look, she doesn't obey me.

You must obey your father.

- Do you know what he says?

It's between me and my father.

- Behave yourself! He's our guest.

I ask her to get married,

and she refuses.

Doesn't that mean

she has someone else in her mind?

Well' I put no conditions. Just that

the guy should be decent like him.

Tell me if you love someone.

I love no one!

- Then listen to your father.

Find a bridegroom for me, Daddy.

Look at that. She wouldn't agree.

One word from you, and she agrees!

Our stars match. You solved the mess

on the road, solved my problem too.

My job is over.

Drop me on the way. Bye, dear.

Something very important. He knows

a girl here, who's cross with him.

Forget that, Let's go.

- Wait! For all your help...

would it be fair if I ignore you?

- Please, let's go.

Hold on. That girl is a stubborn ass.

A bit out of mind.

She is... you told me she has

a problem, "echo"... isn't it?

Let's go sir.

- Go ahead and say it. Come on.

Ego.

- Yes, ego? She has a massive ego.

Like the stubborn asses

in our village.

For my sake, you talk to the girl

and tell her that he is a gentleman.

Tell her that I've said not to fight

with him. Play the mediator.

Enough, or should I stay back and...?

- That's enough, let's go.

Bye, dear.

Strange girl! She fights with

a gentleman! Blame her upbringing.

Every time you dump ash, it must make

you feel you're dumping ash it on me.

Are you dancing before me?

Stop!

Here. Look here.

What are you looking at?

Tell me, what are you staring at?

Those beautiful pair of...!

What are you looking at with

those beautiful pair of eyes?

So what if I caught a glimpse

of that restricted area?

But wasn't that tantalising?

Fair body covered with a black dress!

Part of the lemony waist left open...

Sorry, not lemony...

combination of pink and yellow.

How could my eyes resist

such a romantic sight?

You should've covered it up.

Not only the waist,

I'll see your entire body.

What will you do?

You are no match for me!

You have no right to touch it.

I came to discuss something crucial.

But we aren't in the right frame.

I boozed because...

- Smoke, booze... do as you wish.

I don't care!

Who are you to me?

Why do I care for person

who doesn't matter to me?

And I don't want to know

why you boozed.

Damn it!

I will say it even you

don't want to hear.

I can't get over you, Jenny!

Not you...!

Damn you!

Remember your steps?

- Can't get one right, Master.

You could pick her up, and not

the step? Forget it, happens.

For this beat...

raise your right legs.

Next, for this beat...

lift both your legs.

Won't we fall, Master?

- That will reach you to new heights.

How are you?

- Fine.

How could you guess that was Mala?

- The stink. Never bathes, you know.

There! I smell something nice.

Hi! How are you?

- Fine.

Keep it up. But avoid the high heels.

Let me come to the point.

This year's cultural programmes are

nearing. Rehearsals begin tomorrow.
