Battery...

...click, click?

- ...light!

- You mean torch...

OK.

Come let's go.

What happened, girl?

How much will they offer?

Did I tell you not

to speak in English?

Oh, he doesn't understand Kannada...

...if I speak in Kannada,

he speaks in English.

Let that go. There's an

English class close to home...

I'll register you there.

Oh no, that can't be done.

Shankranna's talkies is great.

Do as I say. Got it?

Can we tell my mother of the marriage?

What? Whose marriage?

What are you saying?

Our marriage of course!

When did I say I'll marry you?

First, you learn English, get a job...

Then we'll see...

Listen...don't shave again.

Hey, what is all this new stuff?

Oh hi!

Hi, aren't you ready yet?

No, someone has come...

- Who is it?

- Come, come...

Aryan, look who has come!

- Are you shocked?

- Sir, it's you!

I am so happy to see you again sir.

Nikki, meet Aryan...

...he used to model with me...

- Shwetha, I have met him before.

- Oh?

I have already made one film with him.

Oh great! Nikki,

Aryan is making debuting as a hero...

He wants me as the heroine...so...

Very lucky to meet you, sir!

Sir, we definitely need your support...

You are our inspiration.

Good, good, Arya, best of luck. But...

...Shwetha cannot act in your film.

Nikki?

Shwetha, it's getting late.

You should get ready.

Arya, you please

contact our manager...

...he will help you with everything.

I will personally come

to the audio release...

- Sir...but...Shwetha...

- OK, carry on then.

The film will certainly

run for 100 days.

Don't worry! Best of luck!

Shwetha, get ready!

Nikki, what are you doing?

I want to do this film!

Why did you speak that way?

I'll get you a better film,

don't worry!

You keep saying this, Nikki.

I love acting...

please don't do this to me!

When the time comes you'll understand.

Shwetha,

we are already running late...

---get ready quickly.

English has five vowels...

".3, 9, I; o! u'

P...U...T...put!

Why do you fear it? Just read, I say.

C...U...T...kut!

Look, uncle...he says "kut"!

I go by bus to save petrol money...

and send him to English class...

...and he goes there and sleeps!

Rascal! What's wrong with you?

Learning English is

good for the talkies too.

You can converse with

couples in English...

First, get some people in here...

...then we'll see.

Her plan is to make me learn English

and send me to work in a multiplex...

- Multiplex?

- Yes...there, you have to know English

to just shine the torch.

If I go,

who will shine the torch here?

Our canteen Soma can't

even count puffs...

...will he count people

and shine a torch?

Hey, get going! Get her some juice...

Alright, alright, I'll get her juice.

Hey, get going I say...

The two of you are a pain...l

won't go to any English talkies!

I am telling you now itself!

I ask him to learn something and...

Uncle, you said three

thousand per month.

But is it enough?

If he gets a good job,

won't you be happy for him?

In running the talkies,

I did not think about Nikki at all...

Correct, my child.

You do what you think is right.

It's enough that the

talkies has consumed me...

Let Nikki at least live well...

...as you say, child.

Thank you uncle!

Hey please listen to me.

I will do as you say.

Don't be angry. Please...

Please listen, I will learn

English...l will work in a multiplex...

Auto! Auto!

Sir, will you come to Malleswaram?

- Hey...hey...

- Oh, oh, the auto is gone!

- Auto!

- What the f***!

Hey, come on, I am begging you...

- What did you say?

- I said I'll learn English.

No... what the...?

Oh that, the students

in the school keep saying it...

What else did you hear?

What the f***, bloody f***ing,

a**holes, nonsense, idiots...

Look, aren't I learning English

for you? You, on the other hand...

- Hi Shwetha!

- Hi!

- How are you?

- I am good. How are you?

This is Nikki. Nikki, my friend...

- OK... sure!

- It's OK, come on...

OK, I'll leave then.

step into such a theater!

How are you? Are you married?

Forget me, who's the guy'?

A torch shiner?

No, no, theater... owner actually...

Really? He looks like

a torch shiner in a theater!

Hello...shut up!

OK... I just wasted time

building my body in the gym.

You only like local boys.

Will you shut up? Or shall I get down?

OK, I'll shut up.

- Sir, please stop to the left...

- Why?

We folks have to work my dear.

Are we theater owners like your lover?

Enough...enough of your teasing...

Just a minute...

My fans, all my fans...

Nikki...the thing is...

What happened?

Actually...l have to visit my

grandfather for two or three days...

So go and come.

You don't have to tell me everything.

Shwetha, you misunderstand me.

I told you not to act

in films for your own good.

OK, Nikki, I'll see you soon, bye!

I love you!

Bye, Nikki...

Hey, it's OK, don't worry!

He'll understand.

To our village? Why?

I'll tell you on the way.

Get ready quickly...

I have work at the talkies.

I have told Shankranna.

I have to go to the

English class as well.

You don't have to the

English class anymore, OK?

If you don't like it,

then I don't like you doing it, OK?

What happened to you?

Has some spirit possessed you?

Enough, get ready soon.

my "piracy" is all gone...

of sleeping only in your shorts?

one strong coffee for me OK?

Boss, my brother will kill me!

Please, you must help me...

You will also get to go home...

But what should I do?

Nothing, they're all art students,

...They want to paint

rural life...please help them

Boss, I was supposed to go,

but I got drunk last night...

OK, I take them and

bring them back, right?

That's it boss.

I told you no he'll help you.

Nothing, Nikki, I just

told him that you would help him.

Thanks so much for helping my friend!

I am not doing it for your friend,
