Hey Saamikannu, where are you
off to early in the morning?
I can't find my goats anywhere.
Some robbers have
taken off with them.
Don't make a noise;
didn't you hear me?
Hey Little Girl, is the car here yet?
Hey Saamikannu, you idiot,
what are you looking for?
My goats are all missing.
When she lost her husband,
she did not go to find him.
Why will she bother
to find your goat?
For God's sake, what are
Go, go, look out for them..
Hey you silly fellow, come over here.
Don't ask them, ask me.
Come here. Your goats must be
Boiling on Ambiyar's Saambaar.
Keep quiet, you silly goats!
Stay together, all of you..
Oh my goodness!
Roja, the car has come.
Go on, go on, run along..
Hey Small Girl! Come here, help me.
He's handsome, isn't he?
Oh no, cigarette!
Very bad!
Fallen in love already, have you?
I can leave you behind.
I don't mind.
Hide!
Come on, let's run.
Saamikannu Annachi, your goats
are crowding the road.
Have you any sense? They
have blocked the car..
..of the man who has
come to see my sister.
Go on, hurry up. Go on, get
them out of the way! Go on, quick!
Be careful. He looks a
very intelligent type.
Intelligent! My goats! Go on,
you buffoons! Go on, get them.
Go, go..
Come on, come on, everyone.
Hurry up, hurry up.
The bridegroom has arrived.
You've to come to see him.
Oh, the bridegroom has come.
Let's go and see him.
Listen everybody.
My sister Senbagam's husband to be..
..has come to see her.
Senbagam's groom is here.
Senbagam, hey Senbagam..
Where on earth have you been?
You said you were going to
the market to buy vegetables.
Where is Senbagam, Ma? - Do you
know how angry your father is?
I saw him. Can you
believe it? I actually saw him.
How does he look?
You be quiet. Mind your own business!
He looks very intelligent,
grandma. Must be very well educated.
It's great if you also do approve.
Roja, you silly creature!
What are you so excited about?
Is it your wedding or your sister's?
I have no wish to marry.
..for answering my prayers.
Hold still, Senbagam.
Don't move an inch.
Make a wish. Hey,
can I make one for you?
May he fall in love with
you at the first glance!
In four days time we'll have
At that moment, I shall
cling to you and cry and cry.
Mom, we have come
here to see a bride.
Why is half the village following us?
Specially these old women! Do
you want me to select one of them?
Very funny. I want a village
girl for you. So enjoy yourself.
What's the matter? What are
you murmuring between yourselves?
City people are very private.
Well, my brother, what
do you do for a living?
I am a cryptologist.
I don't understand.
You mean you make bricks?
What do you not understand?
He's a photographer.
What am I saying? By the way,
son, how much do you earn?
..or is it five thousand?
Why don't you let us know?
Hey Periyasaamy, how
come you ask the groom..
..such a personal question.
Well, you look fine on
the outside, young man.
Nothing wrong from inside, I hope.
You have left all the
city girls and have come..
That's why we are asking. - Yes.
You there, keep quiet. He's
picked a girl from our village.
We should be grateful.
Please, don't misunderstand.
After all it's the
matter of our girl's future!
Should we not ask?
You are an educated man. You tell us.
Look, I have ten fingers on my hands.
That's not what I meant.
If you wish, I can
carry you to the house.
Oh no, no, son! No!
Come on, come on!
- Please no, no.
Come on, don't be embarrassed.
Come on.
Oh God! Put me down son,
this is very embarrassing, son.
Put me down.
Senbagam, don't be nervous.
If he asks you something..
..intelligent, give it right back.
I've made a deal with
all the gods and goddesses.
Roja, you wait here.
Why, Ma? Ma!
Senbagam, take her blessings.
Come sit.
..then the girl will remain mum!
And my son too will..
..not open his mouth. Let's
leave these two alone so that..
..they can decide whether
they like each other or not.
Sister, what kind of talk is that?
Yes, yes. How can we
leave the two of them alone?
Sister, it is not allowed.
We have allowed the boy
to see the bride's face..
..before the wedding.
Otherwise, it is never allowed.
Listen, they don't like all
these old fashioned village ways.
Yes sister, he's a big city man.
Wait a minute! She hasn't
really said anything wrong.
After all, it's the two of
them who have to live together.
So what's wrong with
Oh my God! Roja, did you hear that?
The two of them are
going to chat alone!
In the last five years,
The boy who has come
to see my sister..
..please let him say yes.
I'll offer you whatever you ask.
And just like I had promised,
I'll also light a lamp..
..with pure ghee for you.
Whatever happens..
..just let him approve of her.
My son, ask whatever you wish.
After marriage, you won't
get a chance to ask anything.
She speaks from experience.
After marriage..
..her poor husband
has become a slave.
And he keeps mum.
They really can talk, can't they?
So I have never come to a village.
But I had decided that
if I ever get married..
..I'll marry a girl from the village.
I seem to like this village.
The fields, the waterfalls..
..the soil, smell of the earth..
These old hags! I love it all.
What are these two talking?
I can't hear a thing!
