children would get no respect

when you married someone without

considering religion and caste.

Such nuisances.

Appu, kick him out!

You bloody..

- Let go of me.

I will..

- Get off..

Oh, God! - How dare you

speak ill of my family!

Get in.

I'm leaving.

I sever all the ties between us

right now.

Everything ends today.

I'll get my hands

on your brother.

We will see that.

What the..

- Oh, God!

What's wrong with you?

- Hello. - Gosh!

Yes, Brother Appu.

We don't know the exact place.

It'll take a few more hours.

What?

When?

"Droplets of.."

"Drizzling like.."

"Drizzling like.."

Sure, Brother.

"Dear bird, come and.."

Hey.

- What is it?

Hey, we're in for trouble.

Come and sit down.

Here, have it.

Sit down, will you?

Come on.

Go ahead and eat.

I brought shame to this family.

Dad

Mom

Brother

I am sorry.

- Hey!

I never bothered

to ask my sons.

I never had to.

But I think I should ask you now.

It's not a mere thought.

I must ask you.

What is it, comrade?

Appu, Ambu

we didn't raise you as per

any religious or caste doctrine.

We have never felt it was wrong.

Have you?

- No.

Have you ever felt

that it was wrong?

Comrade, are you emotional?

No.

I'm just asking.

You'll never feel so.

I know my kids well.

TIMEIN:
01:24:58:12DURATION: 02:80TIMEOUT: 01:25:00:92

You'll never feel so.

I know my kids well.

But in the future, if you feel we

brought you up without an identity

and that it was a bad thing to do

if you get angry at us

that'll be saddening.

That will make me emotional.

Comrade

bringing us up

without religion and caste

was the best thing you did for us.

Isn't that so, Ambu?

- Yes.

The sons of comrade Narendran

and Ummu.

That's our identity.

- Yes.

We have no existence without you.

We can't wish

for a better identity, Dad.

Did you hear him?

You moron.

Did you hear my sons?

- Yes.

Are you happy now?

- I see!

So mom was behind

this drama, wasn't she?

Stop it!

Then give me some sugar.

TIMEIN:
01:25:58:80DURATION: 01:76TIMEOUT: 01:26:00:56

Then give me some sugar.

Don't take it. Your blood sugar

level is on the border.

Am I going to fight a war

at the border? Give it here.

Give it to him.

Are you late?

- Shall we go?

It's not time yet.

Will it happen anytime soon?

Get the buckets.

- We will see.

Hey, let's reach home somehow.

You father-in-law-to-be

shouldn't have spoken ill

of the commerce degree.

Is that the only problem?

You aren't concerned

about him abusing my family.

I know. Even you are casteist.

You, too, will abuse us soon.

Don't go too far, Ambu!

I'll hurl abuses at you.

You'll find Englishmen in England

and the French in France.

But in India, you will find Tamils,

Telugus, Punjabis and Bengalis

and Hindus, Muslims and Christians.

You'll find no Indian here.

I've heard it somewhere.

This is Mammootty's line

from the movie 'Vartha'.

TIMEIN:
01:26:57:68DURATION: 03:24TIMEOUT: 01:27:00:92

This is Mammootty's line

from the movie 'Vartha'.

So what?

Isn't that the truth?

So you need not worry about

what he said about your parents.

This land is cursed that way.

But is it comparable to what he

said about the commerce degree?

Consider the case of this state,

this country or the world.

Which is the most

sought-after course ever?

Which is it?

- The commerce degree.

Who has the most number of kids?

Again, commerce graduates.

Even engineering graduates

are working in banks.

Who is that job meant to go to?

Commerce graduates.

Aren't commerce graduates needed to

evade tax and make illegal money?

Of course, they're needed.

This country will be in shambles

without commerce graduates.

And yet, he dared to shame

commerce graduates.

Do you expect me to stay silent?

Tell me.

Answer me.

- Had enough?

Yes. - Then shut up

for a while.

What a bore!

After all, her wedding

got cancelled.

Thank goodness.

TIMEIN:
01:28:01:44DURATION: 02:72TIMEOUT: 01:28:04:16

Give it to me. I'll light it.

- No, I'll do it myself.

It's time. Come on.

Shucks!

Even that went out!

Here, right here.

Come.

- Here.

T A M I L R O C K E R S . C O M

Be careful while you jump.

Are lovers expected

to jump over walls?

Shut up!

You really had to come

in the rain!

No one will notice us

when it's raining.

Where do you learn these things?

Push me up!

TIMEIN:
01:29:21:20DURATION: 01:68TIMEOUT: 01:29:22:88

Buddy.

- What is it?

This guy..

Hey, they'll wake up!

Oh, God!

TIMEIN:
01:30:05:20DURATION: 02:24TIMEOUT: 01:30:07:44

You deserve a slap!

You would've spoilt everything now!

What did she say? - Nothing.

It was her mother who woke up.

What about her?

- She was sleeping.

What?

- Let her sleep.

Hey, then why did we come here?

- What?

No reason.

Just to see her once.

It's been three days

since I saw her.

What would happen if you

don't see her for three days?

Did you get me drenched in the rain

for this? Scoundrel!

I am a lover boy, dear!

Why should I suffer for that?

You didn't say anything, dear.

I will. But before that, I want

to speak to Nidhi.

Do you have a problem with that?

No problem.

I'll call her. - Okay.

Nidhi.. - It's okay, ma'am.

You don't have to call her down.

I'll go and meet her.

It's the first room to the right,

upstairs. - Okay.

TIMEIN:
01:30:59:56DURATION: 02:40TIMEOUT: 01:31:01:96

It's the first room to the right,

upstairs. - Okay.

Thank you.

- Okay.

Oh, God!

Nidhi.

- Yes?

May I come in?

It's a nice room.

He didn't tell me the matter.

He just asked me

if we could meet.

Let him come.

We'll wait.

Hey! Hey, Ambu.

Have you been waiting for long?

- No.

Since you asked us to be here

at 4 p.m., we arrived at 3:30 p.m.

Now, the time is 5:30 p.m.

It's just been two hours.

That's all.

Sorry, guys.

I was a bit busy.

My wedding got fixed in haste.

Oh!

- So, I was held up.

Awesome!

- Is your wedding already fixed?

TIMEIN:
01:31:59:36DURATION: 01:44TIMEOUT: 01:32:00:80

Awesome!

- Is your wedding already fixed?

Yes. - Congrats!

- Thank you.

Because of you all,

I came to know everything.

Or else, things wouldn't have

happened this fast.

Thank you, Ambu. - It's okay.

- Thanks a lot.

So, when is your wedding?

- 12th of this month.

Hey, that means, just ten

more days! - Yes.

Wow! Awesome! - Aren't you

inviting us to your wedding?

I came here to invite you all.

- Oh!

Hey, get me the wedding card.

What is wrong with you, Pandi?

Just for food.

- We'll get free food!

So cheap! - You need not come.

We'll go.

All of you must come.

- Wow!

Beautiful card, isn't it?

- Yes. - It looks brilliant.

Very nice.

Nidhi V. Pillai.

Why?

Ambu's father is Narendran.

Narendran's best friend

is Vinod, right?

Nidhi is Mr. Vinod's daughter.

I saw many girls.
