Let's go tomorrow, ma

Only 2 months left

Please mom

'Okay, let's go'

I'm feeling giddy

Give me an orange

Look who is coming

Our dear motor-mouth!

Hello, Aravalli akka

Where are you off to

with son and monkey?

- Wine shop

- Coming?

'Seeing' a bride for my son

What is this?

If it's just once, it's alright

But does it look good if you keep

announcing you're bride hunting?

'Charcoal' is going overboard

What about the girl from

the 'cow dung' family I suggested?

That girl did not like

my son selling vegetables

- Really?

- Don't disturb amma and that ghost

Her walk reminds me

of a pumpkin rolling

Let her keep rambling

If we say we are vegetable vendors

we will be looked down upon

Say it as 'market' in English, no-

Add 'ing' to 'market' and say

he is into Share Marketing

What if they ask details?

From the market, we share

Keep it simple, okay?

I'll do all the talking

Follow me silently

'Malliga, when did you come?'

Hey, don't forget

my improvization

Zip your lips, eh?

Karunkuzhali

Come and greet our guests

'She's hidden like the heroine

in Bharathiraja's films'

'Show your bright face soon'

Greet everyone, my dear

Icing on the cake!

She has powdered

her face with coal

Even I don't like her

Let's scoot

That's alright

Color can be corrected

She has good features

Like my mother

- He's insulting you!

- How could you?

Keep quiet, ma

Just 2 months left

for me to decide

Or else I must wait for 6 years

I can't be celibate for so long

- Leave it

- Let me say 'yes'

You'll resort to Family Planning!

What's the groom doing?

We are busy talking

I wanted to know your profession

Ah...yes...work

- We are into marketing

- Yes

Marketing?

- What is that?

- You nitwit!

Share marketing, huh?

- Yes...yes

- Exactly!

He isn't dim at all!

Share marketing is dicey

Suddenly rises

Fluctuates a lot

Is it an elevator?

'Many big shots have invested heavily

and committed suicide'

In the last 6 months

25 suicides in Tamil Nadu

216 in India

In the global level, 989 victims

died because of this share market

- Beautiful!

- Clap for him

I've invested in millions

Lost every single penny

And now renting

this run-down house

You didn't die, huh?

'It's like gambling'

The groom I'm looking for...

...can even be a peddler selling

vegetables or even dried fish!

'Traitor! You used

big sounding words'

Even if he earns Rs 200 a day

...he should stand on his own feet

He should be self sufficient

And work hard

Head is spinning, eh?

I'll smear dung on your face

when we step out

Trying to add fuel to the fire?

Get up, let's go

'Appaaaaa'

Let's escape

Listen, God often tests

only the good hearted

Definitely

Why did he target you?

Bad God

This too shall pass!

It went above my head

If tomorrow I become like Ambani

...such experiences will be useful

for my autobiography

I should fill at least 250 pages

A book with only 65 pages

will be a damp squib!

My autobiography

shouldn't be a song book

It must be part of

the school syllabus

Call her, unable to bear this insult

she's planning to hang herself

Ma...amma!

Don't try suicide again, ma

We can't rescue you

from the rooftop, ma

Listen to me

If we save her

we are in for a dried fish feast!

Maaaa!

High five!

Please pump water for me too

Yesterday she had such a long face

'What is bothering you

Aravalli akka?' I asked

'Not 1 girl wants to

marry my son' she said

Who will fall for her son?

Don't you agree?

Thinking he's Mr World or

something, she is so damn picky

That black pot will

only get a matching kettle!

Kuzhandhai, don't be upset

There's someone for you out there

100% she will be devoted to you

She will love only you

till her last breath

We just have to find out

where she lives!

Why are you staring at me?

Come here

What happened?

My wife beat me up, sir

That's common in most houses

Tomorrow is our MLA's wedding

Make all the arrangements

I'll come and collect the payment

"Cash, dough, dollar, rupee, money

Peso, pound, paisa, paper money"

How can they waste that cake?

Why are you back so soon?

What's this decoration in aid of?

Hey...'Attack'!

Head deep in debts and

you show off with false prestige!

What about the catering order?

MLA cancelled the wedding order

He fixed a big catering firm from Madras

Whether local or out-of-towner

the basic recipe cannot be changed!

But no one can beat my flavor

I'll get my daughter married in this

same town with a feast to remember!

Shelve your daughter's wedding aside

You haven't paid interest

for 2 months

You settle that first

If not this MLA, some other

politician, if not A, then B

I'll fleece someone

and settle my debts

Let's play a game of cards

"Don't look down upon girls, buddy"

"Don't you have sisters, tell me?"

'Rotten tomatoes!'

Not a single girl in this town

is suitable for us

I've received an alliance

40 km from here

Let us go and look up that girl

We have done this so often, ma

How many girls will reject me!

Usually a video is shot of the wedding

But I have shot my life

in all possible angles

And I have a portfolio

You show my photo and

I'll come once they agree

I've crossed that stage with them

You just have to decide

Let's just see her in person

She's right

Tomorrow is a holiday

We'll make it a jolly trip

Let's go with a mindset

she'll reject and humiliate you

How will you be upset?

Am I being funny?

I'm ridiculing him

and he's laughing

I don't like this formality, ma

You tell the whole world about it

When every girl I see rejects me

I feel so humiliated, ma

So do we!

I won't tell a single soul, dear

- Swear on a stack of betel leaves

- I'll go and get it

What new nonsense is this?

What is this promise?

Go freshen up, sleepy face!

Like father like son!

She pampers him and

dances to all his tunes

Promise me now

- You too

- I promise

Regarding formally 'seeing'

a bride for you, I swear

- We won't blab to anyone

- We will blabber!

What did you say now?

His hearing is sharper than a knife

We won't blabber

Listen to my idea

to keep this under wraps

Got it? Go now

So tough to get

1 square meal here

Ma, I'm going to Trichy

for my friend's wedding

'He's so depressed, he is

forever in a groom's attire'

'We should also be

on our guard I think'

'Why is this pregnant pig

coming towards us?'

Why are you walking

without 'Kuzhandhai'?

If I was married

kids would tag along

- You don't wave your wand

- Fat hopes!

He thinks he is funny

Not 'Kuzhandhai' as in 'kid'

but your friend

Don't know where he is

I'm off to the market

You're wagging your

tongue too much

I'll stuff and snuff you in this sack

You and your amphora-mouth!

- She's a bad influence!

- He called me a frog-mouth, huh?

Akka, in this same way

my mother-in-law ridiculed me

She hinted I croak like a frog

I lost my cool one day

I mind my own business, no?

She provoked me

I picked up the grinding stone

and smashed it on her head
