Udayananu Tharam

Everybody get ready

for the shot.

Lights!

Junior, a little stronger.

Starting.

Running, one by one

take one, clap!

Action.

This is a film related to films.

The Lumiere brothers

made films a reality.

You look arrogant.

You should be gentle while

talking to audience.

OK. - OK Sir.

This is a film related to films.

Lumere brothers.. - Cut it!

Listen! Don't try to be a

joker. Don't be too gentle.

You try to be specific,

that's all. - Yes Sir.

This is a film related to films.

The Lumere brothers

made films a reality.

Thereafter, many great

film makers came..

...and gave new definition

to films.

There was laughter inside

the cinema theaters.

The audience could feel the

emotions of the characters..

...of the silver screen like

in their personal life.

The films soothed human life

under trying conditions.

Madras became the centre of

the south Indian films.

Thousands of people came to Madras

to try their luck in films.

They were many who made it big &

many who were ruined in this film city.

We know only those made it big.

And nobody knows about the

one who couldn't succeed.

The hero of this story, Udhaybhanu

had come to Madras 12 years ago.

He was an assistant director.

And was trying to become

an independent director.

Cinema was not just his

ambition, but it is his life too.

The screenplay of the first

film is in progress.

'Om Satyajit Ray Namaha.'

'Om Spiel Berg-aya Namaha.'

'Priyadarshanaya Namah.'

'Kurasova, Aravinda,

Chaplin-aya Namaha.'

Oh God! Give me a great

climax to this story!

Anusha and Ravi met on the

platform unexpectedly.

But to shoot on the

railway platform.

...a deposit of Rs. 5

lakhs is required.

And if producer is not

ready for that, then..

I'll make the film for the

one who is ready do that.

Anyway, the dialogues of Anusha

should be brilliant.

Look Ravi.. I don't

want to invite you..

Ravi in my life, which

is cloudy. Sh*t..

Stupid dialogues! Would anyone

talk like this in real life?

Cloudy.. Nonsense!

The matter should be simple.

There is no need of 'Look Ravi.'

It feels like a serial.

You've come to see the one who

is running away, isn't it?

You're standing here just because you've

a platform ticket & you can't go beyond.

The one who watches us will

think we are very close.

But it's only we know how

far we are with each other.

Good! That's good!

Let us pray so that Udhaybhanu

gets a good climax.

This city is full of cinemas.

We are on our way

to a film studio.

The heroine of this story,

Madhumati is in the studio.

She was awarded the best

actress of the university.

It was Udhaybhanu who introduced

Madhumati to his mentor.

The very first film itself

was a very big hit.

And Madhumati is

a big star today.

Though Madhumati is indebted

to Udhaybhanu..

...and she likes him, but there is

nothing like love between them.

But Udhaybhanu is restless

about the unwanted gossips.

This is Rajappan Thengamulli,

sorry these are his legs.

He has been looking for a good role in

Malayalam cinema for a long time now.

Is it because of his looks that

is not getting a good role?

Or is it because of his

color and figure?

He has done many

small bit roles.

But he is still waiting

for his dream role.

He has a darker complexion

than me.

And he isn't so handsome,

yet he is a superstar.

Gad!

The one's wearing suits

go to Wing A. - Yes sir.

It's a Telugu movie, a

company meeting scene.

The rest are all for Shivaji's

garden. A Tamil film.

You will get your dress, guns

everything there. - Yes sir.

And if you have any doubts,

then call me.

OK sir. Come on people.

Go on in this auto.

Sir! Do you have any role?

- There are many.

What, will you come? - Is there

any dialogue in the role?

No, it's a landlord's film.

An India Pakistan war scene.

You will get the uniform,

and guns there.

You will get lunch and snack

in the evening too.

And 100 rupees.

So will you come?

If there isn't a dialogue.

Hey when everyone is shooting who will

think about dialogues. - That's right.

Rajappan, earlier the house

owner had come. - Is it?

It was nice that you left

early. He shouted a lot.

He would have beaten

you if you were here.

Then. - Then nothing.

Thomas has kicked Thadimadi out of

the house because he didn't pay the rent.

He deserves it.

Last week, he didn't give

me a loan of Rs. 50..

You have been kicked out too!

- But I was not there.

He broke your lock and he

locked it with a new one.

Your suitcase and other items

have been thrown out. - Is it?

I took it and kept

it at my doorsteps.

You should have kept

it inside your house.

I decided not to do that

after thinking a lot.

You will come in along

with the suitcase.

That is risk. And it's just because two

scoundrels have come from native place.

And there is no breathing space.

Why don't you try Udhay's place?

No chance, he is writing

the story.

And while writing story, he'll behave like

a dog who gave birth to the new born.

He'll cut me into pieces.

Rajappan, then go and try

at some other place.

Why don't you work as a junior artist

at least for a couple of times like me?

At least you can earn

enough for your rent!

Dear Rafiq, I am not like

you. I have an aim.

And I'll do anything

to reach there.

Once you become

a junior artist..

...you'll be a junior artist

till your death, understand.

I got the climax!

Brother Bhaskaran, sister

Sharada, I got the climax!

A fantastic climax!

Krishnaswamy, I got the climax!

I've got a great climax!

What's the matter?

Brother Bhaskaran.

- Yes.

I got the climax! Such a climax

that nobody expects!

The climax that Malayalam

cinema has never seen.

I was working for the last ten

days to get a good climax!

I got the climax,

a real thriller!

A stunning twist! A

nail biting finish!

Udhayan, what is the climax?

Ravi is coming back to the place

from where he ran away, isn't it? - Yes.

As Ravi got of the train and

came out of the station..

...no, no, I'll not

tell the climax.

Brother Bhaskaran will lose

the thrill while watching it.

I have to make some corrections

in the screenplay.

I'll see you later. I will see

you later. I've got the climax!

I've got the climax!

He is a bit normal today

after 3-4 months.

He was screaming and shouting

all these days in the room..

He used to come out..

...stare at the sky and

shout something.

Then run in again. It was as if

he was going to hang himself.

Is writing a screenplay

that tough a job?

I haven't tried it yet.

- Then you should try it.

Will you get a chance

in Udhayan's film?

No, I don't have

that star value.

If you know that why are you

wandering here in Madras?

You are here for

a long time now.

Why don't you go to your native place &

stay with your wife and children?

You are staying here with your wife

and children for a long time now...

Why don't you go for pilgrimage and

give them peace of mind?

It's because of this you

are not prospering.
