What are you doing?

You're pregnant!

Don't do all this.

Go set up the kitchen.

It's alright.

-Listen to me go.

Don't lift anything heavy.

Dude, stay home and take care

of them?

Where are you going?

They said dad stole the file

and fired me.

I need to find a job

before I run out of money.

But you don't have to start today!

I must start looking right away.

Dude.

Just do me one favour.

It's not possible to start

cooking today.

If you could bring some food

for mom and Yamuna

My mom has already packed food for them.

I'll handle it, don't worry.

Thanks, dude.

Your profile is impressive.

Why did you quit your previous job?

Won't you eat?

No, mother-in-law.

I'm not hungry.

I'll eat later.

He'll be home soon.

Let's go inside.

Sir, do you know what happened to my dad?

-I have no idea.

Okay. Thank you, sir.

-Okay.

Sir, my dad...

-I have nothing to do with it.

I don't know anything.

Okay, sir. Thanks.

Are you drunk?

Yes.

Forgive me.

Forgive me, mom.

I:

Couldn't

So

Is this our home?

Is this our life?

Is this how we're going to live?

I'm not saying

we were really well-off before

But it was good.

And now

I'm unable to take

good care of the both of you, mom!

I'm unable to do anything for you!

Please forgive me!

You forgive me, too

Forgive me!

Mom!

Everyone is saying something or the other

about dad.

I asked everyone, mom.

No one knows anything.

That's why...

I couldn't take it.

I got drunk.

Yamuna!

Yamuna!

You're my life, Yamuna!

-Okay.

You are.

-Okay.

I'm so lucky to be married to you.

My name is Tamizh.

My dad meant the world to me.

I was very happy when my dad was around.

Dad, I drink beer sometimes.

You drink often?

No. Maybe once or twice a week.

As long as you don't drink often.

The kind of filth you're watching,

you'll go to waste!

How dare you bring this

into the house?

Go now.

Take it back to the wretched place

you got it from.

Sorry, man.

It's my fault.

Forget it.

Like he never watched stuff

growing up.

It's important to watch and learn, dude.

Can't afford to get it wrong!

Hope he didn't hear that.

Dude, I heard you get these

in 3-D now.

Dude, hurry up.

The show is about to begin.

After my parents, the two

important people in my life

My cousin Aravindh and my friend Kumaran.

Aravindh!

-Yes, auntie?

I've made pickle.

Carry a jar back home

to your mother.

I'll take it later today!

I told you not to triple-ride on the bike.

'What could I possibly say to him?'

'All this while,

I've yelled at him.'

'I've hit him.'

'If I speak to him affectionately

now that he's got a job'

'Won't he think his dad is

only after his money?'

'Your letters burned to ash, my dear;

I wasn't even done reading them'

'You're the reason I live"

That Anita is some girl.

I want a girl like her.

You have preferences?

-Sure.

I'm okay with anything.

You're talking about the dirty stuff.

I'm talking about love.

A girl would come into my life.

Fix me, transform me.

That's a special feeling, dude.

So, you'll let your girl change you?

Shamelessly.

I can see that.

You live in a colony, just like that movie.

But no Anitas here.

Only Kathirs.

Turn on the T.V.

Match is about to begin.

Mum, I want-

Why are you limping?

Strained my hip while mopping the floor.

-How come, aunty?

Get out, you swamp.

You cuss more than us these days.

Tamizh

It's your dad's star birthday.

Need to give offerings at the temple.

I don't feel well. Will you go?

What? To the temple?

No chance.

What about my image?

I won't go.

How will going to temple hurt your image?

-Mom!

Stop kidding!

I call such guys "goody-goody".

I only ask because

I don't feel well.

Mom, I need to watch the match.

Fine, I'll go.

Don't make that face.

Drama queen!

Give me money for snacks,

or I won't go.

One fine day,

this technique will stop working.

Oh, now you can walk?

Okay, I'm off.

-Where are you going?

No way I'm going to the temple.

Have fun.

-Wait up, man!

I'm off, too.

-Where are you going?

To give him company.

Fine, I'll go with you.

Don't make that face!

One fine day,

this technique will stop working.

We'll see about that!

Be careful.

-Do I get snacks, too?

What are you praying to God?

Nothing.

Just posing.

You?

Mobile phone. Car. Girls.

"Girls just don't get it..."

It's the beast.

-It's "priest"

Yeah, a priest.

You've come to make an offering?

-Yes.

In my dad's name.

-His name?

Dad's name is Vijayaraghavan.

His birth star?

-Don't know.

Man, you don't even know

your dad's birth star?

No, man. You?

Heck, no.

Not bad.

Some decent looking girls

come to this temple.

Maybe.

But I've set my heart on one.

Who?

Over there.

She's my heroine.

That's Revathy.

She lives in my colony.

I know. Why do you think

I come there so often?

To see your face?

-Crook!

She won't give in.

Doesn't even talk to anyone.

Very arrogant.

Then, I've fixed my mind

on another lover.

Who is that?

Behind her.

So the one I first saw

was the heroine's friend?

I've found my own Anita

like the movie 7-G Rainbow Colony.

Dude

You know you're just a comedian.

Look over there.

I'll get that girl.

We'll see who has the last laugh.

Dude.

She's unbelievable.

I doubt if she'd be single.

By now, some bloke must have

gone on his knees and wooed her?

You're not as good looking as me.

It's your low self-esteem talking.

I find her pretty average.

My heart tells me

that no one's wooed her yet.

Dude!

Your comedy timing

Just keeps getting better.

They're leaving.

Why do you keep calling me a comedian?

The one in green is yours.

Orange, mine.

That was easy, picking them up.

About this...

Aravindh needn't know.

Because he is

Much better looking than us.

That's sad for them

Where are you going?

-To the temple, mom.

The temple?

He never goes, even if I beg him

Where to?

-The stationary store.

Why?

-To buy ink.

I'll go with you.

-No thanks.

I thought about it all night.

I'm okay with Revathy.

You can have the white girl.

Tell me now.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the temple.

Won't you join me?

Dude...

What made you so sure

she'd be at the temple this time today?

Revathy comes to the temple

everyday at this time.

Just a simple math.

The only kind of math you know.

When you look at me - WHAM!;

My mind goes - BAM!

Plant one on my face - SMACK!;

My nerves would tingle - OH SHEESH!

And when you turn around - TOK TOK!

Girl, my system crashes down - PLONK!

Touch me gently like the wind - SWISH!

And I'll feel so chill - BADUM TISH!

If ever you were to fall - THUD THUD!

Babe, I'll be waiting to catch you - TA-DA!

Don't shake your head!

Fine. You shake it.

The way you prance - FLIP FLOP!

My body feels hysteric - WHOOP WHOOP!

Where are you going?

-To the temple, dude.

Kumaran! Your jokes get

funnier by the day.

I'd given my bat to Senthil Kumar...

I'll go get it back from him.

Oh yeah?

Mum has sent flour.

I'll give it to auntie and come.
