All parts of your body he'll maim"

"Caste conscious is not wrong

He'll protect it for a mile and furlong"

"No one to oppose him

Even if so, he'll win"

"He'll be silently seeing

through posters smiling"

"Mother, father and God to honor

Pearls of wisdom he'll favor"

"Here comes our friend, in lion-king mold

He's a gem of a man, 24 carat gold"

"He'll guard without stepping out

his women folk no doubt"

"His fame spread like wild fire throughout"

"Without competing he'll work 24x7

He's a wave that doesn't waver even"

"Your worries if you unburden

to solve your problems he'll yearn"

"If anyone stirs trouble

he'll hit double and treble"

"To the poor and needy

he'll lend a hand steady"

"Not counting every penny

he'll appease the hunger of many"

"He'll be silently seeing

through posters smiling"

"With tender loving care

he'll bond and share"

"Here comes our friend, in lion-king mold

He's a gem of a man, 24 carat gold"

"He's our lion-king, behold!

Never tarnishing, 24 carat gold"

Don't look at it superficially

because they are our folks

Enquire thoroughly

about the girl's background

I've enquired thoroughly

They belong to our caste

It's hard to find

a bride for your son

And she sifts and sieves

Don't talk off your rockers

Shouldn't that girl be

familiar with our customs?

Is she landing from Venus

not to know about our customs?

Broker, are there any defects

in my son's horoscope?

If any defect

it must be in mine!

I've shown 139 photos of

prospective brides to your son

He comes up with excuses saying...

'She ran away with him' or

'She's in love with some chap'

He dodged 75%

of the alliances

The remaining 25%

you've disqualified

Finding fault with

the girls' features

Can we just say yes to all

the random photos you show?

Come here

Come here, I say

They have ganged up again

Was your mission successful?

As usual it got done

in a bad way

Sarcastic retorts wait

at the tip of your tongue!

Will you prosper if you go to

the police station on an auspicious day?

But without going there

have you prospered, uncle?

What?

Why should it matter if some

random boy and girl elope?

What can I do?

You brought me up saying

I should question injustice

Don't over react

Only good people

do such good deeds

One who plays dirty shouldn't

preach about fair play

Will you keep quiet?

Your brother is

the one to blame

On this auspicious day, if your brother

hadn't called why would he go?

It's many years

since I spoke to him

If he keeps going,

won't he call him?

He doesn't call me

because I go

Because I'll go even

if he doesn't call me...

...he calls me

Try to understand

Dude, it's okay even if

you don't answer him

But don't make him mad!

I'm bored yelling

at you 24x7

Likewise

Why do you gang up with him

and be maligned by our society?

What wrong

did my son do?

He advises girls who eloped

and unites them with their parents

That only adds to good karma

- Do whatever?

- Okay

- You go that side

- I'll only go this way

You do whatever

How do you manage him, ma?

Keep quiet

Bro, look at this girl's photo

How long should I keep

looking only at the girl's photo?

For your sake, can we

bring the girl home?

Do you think he is

a marriage broker?

Or some other broker?

She isn't an ordinary girl

the way you assume

I found her

with great difficulty

Was she lost?

I was about to say

she's as pure as gold

Her character is

like Goddess Sita

You know what?

Even her neighbors won't be

aware she lives next door!

At least does her family know?

Will they ask me to

look for a groom then?

He and humor

are poles apart!

What?

You know that girl?

Not just us

The whole town knows her

Sister, please bring

some water for the broker

Please get me

a good coffee

Why coffee? We'll pour

milk as in a funeral ritual!

Dude, look at this Sita

You'll like her very much

- How did you find her?

- Searched and found her

You can only search and

find a girl who has eloped

Stop it

Do you want him to

marry a runaway girl?

If you want a bride,

a girl child has to be born!

You don't want that girl

to marry her boyfriend

You don't want to

marry that girl either

So what's your logic, master?

Dude, you won't

understand all this

Hey fair chap! You are

too fair in your thoughts

They won't let you live

peacefully in this town

Please run away

to your country

Get lost

I won't step into

your house again

Hello anna

Vino, what are you doing

with your Bell computer?

It's Dell!

You rub it in every minute

that you are educated

Where is your father?

Up

You sent him to God, huh?

Jinxed mouth!

Your uncle was just now

asking for you

He had to attend

the Panchayat meeting

Is he ready or not?

You can eat by the time

he gets ready

We've already eaten

I've made 'dosa' and your

favorite tomato 'chutney'

My favorite 'chutney'

That's a style statement

Get up

As if you'll forego

the coconut 'chutney'

Look, he's heading

for the dining room

I'll reserve a seat for you

Why is your dining table

as far away as Madurai?!

Forever making fun!

Help yourself?

Have you eaten?

I got through the 1st round

of the campus interview

They want me to go for

the final round in Coimbatore

Why go so far?

In the evening you can

walk on your terrace itself

Final round interview

It took me 3 years to get

my first job after I graduated

Like me

Dude, brilliant means

being a brain box

Trying to be funny?

Finish your 'dosa'

with plenty of 'chutney'

Bro, my father is not letting me go

to Coimbatore for the interview

Please convince him

He's waiting for you

to graduate to get you married

How will he agree

to let you work?

Your father should be persuaded

to let you go for the interview, right?

I will handle it

But you promise me

you won't take up the job

Tasty, who made it?

She should take up a job

once she graduates

Why get her married?

What kind of practice is this?

First go back to your country

You're corrupting our folks

Our family hates the word 'job'

Eat without pouring

pearls of wisdom

I'm better off

than my friends

My friends were forced to

stop studying and get married

Girls shouldn't act, study, play

once they get married

How many restrictions?

This isn't too bad

They say a man

should marry only once

In the name of tradition

Aren't you the least bit ashamed?

Our whole family

has no shame

Are you trying to create

trouble in our family?

Just eat to your

stomach's content!

Tackle my problem first

Why are you insistent on a job

when you're born in an affluent family?

Have I ever insisted on working?

One who has failed school finals

can't get a job in any company

Only because they will call me

I decided to fail my final exam

If he had passed, the school building

would have collapsed in shock!

I meant the 'sambar' has

too many chicken pieces!

Haven't you've allotted

the contract to Uthaman?

Let me go and talk to uncle

You've stuffed enough
