Sit down, don't fluster me

Are you going out

this Friday, dear?

Why, father?

If you and your husband bring the car

I thought we can visit Muthalamman temple

We could go as a family

I think he has to go out somewhere

in the morning and then visit his brother

Can't be certain

when he'll get back, no?

Suppose he gets delayed?

No problem, dear You carry on

Will my son-in-law come now?

I thought I could see him and then go

He'll be late

getting home, father

Okay, you attend

to your work, dear

I asked in a round-about way

She said the car is not free

If my son-in-law comes I thought

we could wait and at least see the car

Even that didn't happen

I'll be back in a jiffy

You walk ahead with him

Sister...sister?

- Did you forget anything?

We came to ask

if your parents could...

...go by car to the temple

on their wedding day

Your father felt bad

and so he didn't insist

I won't even drive

You both take them

Are you my father's mouth piece?

If he wants something he is quite

capable of asking me himself

You mind your own business

Cooking up contrived reasons to

take that girl for a drive and smooch!

Where did you

all disappear, huh?

Just because he called you,

what about your brains?

If you go and ask,

will she give it to you?

No, ma...my idea

It's not aiyah's fault

Did she give you the car?

However much you ask anything she takes

you must forget about it forever

He was giving away stuff without

a second thought or even asking me

It didn't seem

like a big deal then

But this car was like a baby

to us, right? That's why...!

Okay, let me

serve you dinner

Dai, look here! Just because the car

isn't here, don't stop dropping by

You must visit us often

- Okay, ma

Because...if I don't see

this silly face, I can't eat

O Kay?

Okay, ma

They didn't give it back

even when you asked?

Why didn't you ask again?

- That won't work

If it goes to her,

that's the end

There's no record of anything

being returned ever

What record? How many

times have you asked?

You'll only love me if I drive a car?

You won't look at me if I ride a cycle?

Forever cribbing

Get lost now

Leave me alone

Murugesa...l love you either way

Whether cycle or car,

absolutely no problem

But this face of yours is 'all smiles'

only when you're driving that car

You asked and

she still didn't give, no?

Don't ask her again

Just go and steal it

We must somehow

get our car back

If it doesn't work, we'll mess

with it and not make it run

Then it has to come back

We can use that as excuse

and take aiyah to the temple

I don't know how

the car started that day!

Whatever it is,

we're bringing it back

It's our car

I'm asking you just like that

Are you upset I didn't drive you

to the temple in the car?

Slept, huh?

"Dampened lashes...dry up

forget your anguish, please sleep"

"My heart sweet with a sob and smile

Don't ever bleed, not worth the while"

How can I make you 'not run'?!

Let me see

"Look at me with pride and joy

To your eyes' content, see, old boy!"

Look here, take all this

and go, we'll follow you

Leave now

Why are you playing

with your food?Eat quickly

I asked Murugesa

to bring the cart

We'll go in that

I should have

swallowed my pride...

...and asked our daughter

for the car today, no?

She would have given it

What is it?

Are you worried

I'm disappointed?

I only said that because

you should learn to drive, dear

Not end of the world at all!

As if we are teenagers

to gallivant in a car?!

Not like we've been going

in a car for these many years

I just want to go with you

That's all

Who cares if it's in

a car or a bullock cart?

And also...

I was petrified

to get into the car

I was wondering why

I even suggested it

Everything happens for the good

"Drenched lashes do a double-take

To blot out the pain they ache"

"Sweetheart, tears tinted with gladness

let's be happy, my Landlord-Highness"

The vehicle is on its way

- Let's leave

Murugesa...let's buy

a new car as soon as we can

You don't worry, okay?

What is this, ma?

I was concerned about you

And you're pacifying me

We have given it

only to our family member

We can borrow it anytime

Why feel bad?

If we go in a car,

we'll be there in no time

We won't get enough

time to talk to aiyah

But in a bullock cart,

you can sit next to aiyah

And spend more time together

Everything has a reason

Okay, I'll ask him

to get ready

Father...?

Father...?

What is it, dear?

What?

What happened?

Why are you so flustered?

We'd have been dead

and gone...narrow escape

Oh my! What happened?

Your car stopped

in the middle of the road

In 1 minute, we'd have

been run over by a lorry!

Where?

Right from the day we took it

it's been such a struggle

You gave a broken car and

bragged to everyone?!

It's not broken

We can fix it, dear

Fix it and then what

do I do with that junk?

- You shouldn't say all that

- How else to describe this car?!

Nothing has gone right

since I took this damn car

- Stupid piece of scrap!

- Stop rattling your tongue

Can't you listen to him?

You keep quiet and go inside!

I'll say something nasty-

Your only daughter, I just

told you I almost died

And you're not even listening!

This car takes priority, no?

It's not like that, dear

I'm going, father

I won't come here anymore

I'm going

Wait...how long

will her anger last?Leave it

Move

Move aside

Start the car

- Aiyah?

- Start it

Get down and see

I'll see

- See...please

Has it been fixed...huh?

I don't know

Let me test it

Listen...?

Leave it

Push the car in

and leave it there

We'll call a mechanic and

get it checked leisurely

There's no rush

Okay?

Everyone at the temple

must be waiting

So let's go...you come too!

- Okay, ma

I'm telling you-

- Oh my God!

- Care-ful!

Peedai! Sit on it...sit

Hey sit!

No...no...no, get down!

Sit on it when

I tell you to...okay?

Okay, bro

Sit now

All thanks to Your grace

Lord Muruga

Yov!

- Bless you, dear!

- Murugesa!

- Sir...?

I'm feeling kind of strange

I'll tell her, you drive it yourself

Did I struggle so much

all these days for this?!

No way

- Listen to me

- Definitely not!

That's all?

That's not a problem

- I'll take care of it

- What is it?

He hasn't seen the car for so long

So Murugesa wants to drive

Did I-

She won't mind

Start...start the car

Oh! Really...?

I'll go ahead,

You join me later

What is it, dear?

I told you before, didn't I?

I'll only get in when you drive

Get in now, my dear

Why is he driving so rashly?

- He's spoiling for a race, aiyah

- Honk

- I did

Release the clutch

- Daiiii!

- Be brave and drive

Come quickly

Mother, the car is going

Let me get onto it once

before I leave this place

Mother, I can't do it after that

Mother...the car

'Even if I've bought myself

a new car today...'

'...I still feel sad I couldn't

go for a ride in that car'

'Today is my turn

to sit in front, bro'

'They're not letting me sit'

Son, come and eat!
