You won't make it.

You will never make it.

Sleeping till eight or nine!

How will you get anywhere in life? Wake up!

One who works will set alarm to wake up.

Unemployed man like me

gets up only if father scold.

l'm one of the lakhs of engineers

who passed out wanting to make it big.

On Day 1 , can't forget the happy moments

standing outside my college

''Yes, l'm going to become an engineer!''

l smoked, l drank, l bunked college

and l went to the movies.

l had many arrears but

l cleared them in my final year.

l thought l was the engineer,

but there were 10 lakh others like me.

About ten thousand of them

are geniuses, jobs find them.

Twenty thousand of them

might have influential fathers.

Thirty thousand might have

family owned business.

l belong to the remaining majority.

Which is...waste fellow!

Your brother's bike won't start.

Go drop him at work and come.

He's three years younger to me.

But l'm woken up to drop him at work.

lt's just your little brother.

Drop him off.

Why can't he drop him this one day?

He's been sitting idly for four years

after finishing his engineering, right?

And so much ego!

Moreover made big statements.

''All the buildings in Vizag

will be built by me.''

He has to build castles in the air.

lf you tell anyone from morning

''You'll never make it''.

How can one make it?

How will you get a job

if you go looking like this?

lf you shave and look neat,

you'll get hired.

My mother believes that

shaving will get me a job.

Brother, l'm getting late for work.

Please, brother. Let's go.

This fool is my brother.

He's taller and better looking than me.

Most importantly, he has a job.

This is my vehicle.

My dad bought for me in 7th class

for getting first rank.

Never gave him another

opportunity again.

Hey! Come here.

l dropped you, right?

Give me fifty bucks.

Twenty only? Okay, go.

l'm an unemployed graduate.

My name is Raghuvaran.

lf a guy is jobless, they make him

to do all the household work.

This is my dog.

His name is Harry Potter.

Don't ask me why l named him so

l don't remember.

l understood TV serials are interesting

by staying in home with my mother.

l'm tired of filling applications.

After finishing engineering,

you either need to work as an engineer.

Or take whatever job comes your way.

Or else...

What l think even when l sleep is,

people who watched film 'Shiva',

most of them liked Nagarjuna,

but my father liked Raghuvaran,

okay he liked him,

without stopping with that,

why did he name after him?

By the way we're Telugu people.

Where are you taking it?

To the hall, madam?

- No, take it to my room upstairs.

The room to your right upstairs.

Where madam?

- Right side!

How can l tell you more clearly?

How can l find the room carrying

so much weight, madam?

Fine, l'll take you there. Come.

lf fate had been on my side the guy who

brought table would've come a little later.

My bad time.

Who's moved in next door?

A doctor called Gokul.

They have a daughter.

She looked like a movie star!

She came home this afternoon

to borrow something.

Really? l was home all day,

l never saw her.

You're home all day.

That's my problem.

A waste fellow should always

be arrogant.

lf we bend over a little bit,

they'll screw us over.

l've kept milk on table for you,

take it, Karthik.

Okay, mother.

This happens in my house

very often.

l struggle hard to hide

this cigarette every day.

Brother, give me the laptop.

l have office work!

Give me the laptop.

- Hey, wait.

Always on Facebook!

You've got a group for

the unemployed people.

You call yourselves V.l.P!

There are 60000 members too!

You're mocking me because

l'm borrowing your laptop?

Take your lousy laptop!

lt's hard to not look at

an ordinary girl next door.

lf she looks like a movie star.

Can't stop till we see her!

lf you don't have a job,

even your pet dog won't respect you.

Who is it?

- Aunty, l live next door.

The ball fell in. So

Come in. Take it.

What's your name?

- Raghuvaran.

Where do you work?

''Bommalatta'' serial has started!

l'll come get it later.

Hey, you watch it too?

lf l get angry, l'll get my son

married for the second time.

No, mother-in-law!

This mother-in-law is so mean!

Even l don't like this

character at all, aunty.

lf someone troubles my daughter like this,

l'll just ask her to come back.

Aunty, you have a daughter?

- Yes, name is Shalini.

Has she gone to school?

- School? No way, she's 23 years.

ls she asleep?

- No, she's gone to work.

Her father is already getting egoistic.

That his daughter is making

more money than him.

She must be making around

50000 a month?

50000?

Her father makes almost a lakh a month.

Her salary is Rs.2 lakhs a month!

Even jobless girls don't look at me.

Rs.2 lakhs a month!

No use of throwing ball into this house.

What are you doing here?

- No dad, the ball fell in.

l saw you coming out of this house

10 years ago.

Even then you told me

the same reason.

You were playing with ten other boys then.

Now you're playing alone.

Because they've all got jobs now.

Three families have lived here.

And it's been painted five times.

But you're still the same.

See if there's any work at home.

How that girl gauges me is up to her.

But l need to try from my side, right?

l need to see that girl who looks

like a movie star.

l thought he'd study and build houses.

But he's playing with plastic dolls.

You just need an excuse to deride him.

Basically l'm a decent guy.

But at times l've to be indecent.

Can't avoid it.

ls my phone downstairs, mother?

- Yes.

Wanted to feed that dog,

where's it gone?

What are you doing here?

All are downstairs.

Nothing, just like that.

What's that in your hand?

- Nothing, mom.

Give it to me.

What is this?

l told you, right?

A new project for engineering students.

What does it do?

lt's like a telescope.

Things that are far away look closer.

Not me, mom!

Look up! You'll be able

to see the stars and moon.

Yes, it looks so close!

You can't touch it, mom.

Raghu, you made this yourself?

You're a talented guy.

But why aren't you getting a job?

Talent is not enough these days.

What else they want?

Talent is more than enough.

Come on, mother.

Have you watched the film Titanic?

Yeah, the one where the ship sinks and

everyone dies drowning in sea.

That's right.

The hero shows stars and

moon to the heroine.

l'm doomed to watch it with you!

You devil! When did you fall in love?

Who would love me, mom?

- What's wrong with you?

Aren't you handsome and intelligent?

l'm unemployed, mom!

Girls don't love boys without

minimum security.

l have a friend's birthday party tomorrow.

Everyone has to bring Rs.2000.

Please arrange it somehow.

Okay, l'll get it from your

younger brother.

lt's better you hit me with slippers!

Either get it from dad,

or l don't want!

l'll not take a penny from him.

- Okay, we'll see.

Raghu, here's Rs.200.

Mom, l asked for 2000 and
