My mom said you look like a movie star.

So l looked.

You're not that great.

You're very average.

Buzz off. So much drama

for this useless scooter.

You call this is useless scooter?

My scooter can do 60 kilometers

for one litre. Can your car do that?

l'll weave my way through the traffic.

Can you do that?

lf it stops, l can just pedal it home.

Can you do that?

Go. Start driving with

an ''L'' board first.

Such a cheap guy!

Don't you need a bag

to carry the flour back?

Hey, coming to play or not?

- l'm coming, brother.

Jump over to that compound

and play girls' games with her.

Go, brother.

l'm batting.

Trials, brother.

- Okay, bowl.

Are you 2nd classy boys?

Still playing in a plastic ball.

You could at least use a tennis ball.

Tennis ball would keep falling

on the road.

The aunty who lives opposite

would yell if we play on road.

Hey, stop blabber, bowl to me.

l'm not talking to you

l'm talking to my brother.

l'm not talking to you either

l'm talking to Karthik.

Go mind your business.

Don't disturb our match.

Yeah, right! lt's lndia-Pak match, right?

You say l distracted.

Doesn't your brother have a job?

- He's still trying.

Shut it and bowl!

We're all set with the cooking gas, milk guy?

Yeah, we're all set.

The neighbour boy helped.

Already made friends?

What does he do?

His name is Raghuvaran.

He has done engineering

and is jobless.

l spoke to his mother yesterday.

There are many offers from l.T companies.

But he's studied civil engineering and

is determined to do just that.

Poor kid, walks to 10 or 15 companies

for interview every month.

What?

For what?

For calling you jobless yesterday.

And for hitting your vehicle.

And lying to your mom.

That's okay.

l'm sorry, too.

- For what?

For looking into your house

with a telescope.

For saying you're an average

looking girl.

lf not a movie star,

you look a T.V star.

Look at our superstar...

He's rocking with one side love...

Should l get it every week?

lf l get chicken,

all three of you too eat, right?

Won't you send this idiot even once?

He's free only on Sunday, right?

For your dirty face,

you want to read newspaper too!

Can't you go shopping?

l said l'll go brother

but father told me take rest.

Touch the chicken,

l'll cut your hand.

Look at our superstar...

He's switching on the romantic gear...

Can Teddy bear speak?

Can Barbie doll sing?

Can you find black colour in rainbow?

He's raising dust with his

love magnetic power...

Even if Google goes away...

Even if Facebook gets shut down...

Can your love ever win, Raghuvaran?

Can mobile phones work without SlM card?

Will BBC channel telecast

TV show Chitrahar?

Will good Friday ever come

on a Sunday?

How many interviews did you face

till now, brother?

What happened, brother?

These guys take up their dad's business

without any experience.

And put the life of we,

engineers at stake.

lf they have money why not go abroad

to enjoy instead of killing us.

Why did you give up ancestral

property so easily?

What could l do?

They've bought all surrounding areas.

First l fought and then begged

to retain it.

First they cut my electricity.

And then stopped water supply.

Now they cut milk, paper and gas supply.

l can't fight them.

We can't take on them.

You've snatched it away!

You'll get ruined!

What is it, dad?

You spent 3 months.

For this small piece of land.

lf we ignore small properties.

We will not be sitting here.

Every inch of land is important.

lf we want we should buy it.

lf not, we should snatch it.

You should learn this.

You are going to take over the

company in 2 months.

l am going to look after

our branches in US.

l asked you to design for nine floors.

But you've designed for six!

Sir, the FSl allows only six floors, sir.

l know all that.

But the extra 30 or 40 lakhs bribe we pay

for these three extra floors, right?

We want engineers who can do

what we want!

But that's wrong, sir.

We've studied engineering

to avoid all that, sir.

Sir, my plan?

You can take it with you.

l've approached every company and

met everyone in 4 these years.

l haven't got the chance

to even build a petty shop!

l can prove myself only

if l get a chance, right?

You could try some other job?

Yes but the 30 or 40 grand every month

would kill the engineer in me.

lf l settle for the money,

then all my dreams would go for a toss.

l should just go to Bangalore

or Hyderabad.

Go wherever you want.

But after the end of next month.

Why? Will l get a job by then?

- l don't know about that.

But next month 30th is my birthday.

Stay here till then.

lt's okay if l leave after that?

You want to leave anyway.

Then go after my birthday.

For this birthday,

l should gift myself an apple.

You silly girl!

Why wait till birthday to buy an apple!

There are many in my home,

l'll get you one today evening

Hey mad boy!

l meant Apple's iPhone.

Come.

Brother?

Switch on the fan.

ldle pig makes his brother

turn the fan on.

Yes, brother?

How much would an iPhone cost?

- 35 to 40 thousand.

When did he get home last night?

- Around 1 1 pm.

lt was 1 1 :
30 pm when l went to bed!

He didn't come till then.

Go away.

l didn't see the time when he came.

- You're losing track with him.

40000!

You've come to your little brother

to get money from him.

Why hesitate now?

He learnt to walk holding my hand,

how can l ask money from him?

l'm asking you to do night shift,

are you ignoring me?

How dare you complain to team leader!

Aren't you afraid of Paidithalli gang?

Tell me....tell me...

Will you complain against me?

l'll hit you...

Who are you?

What?

Who is that? Raising your voice!

Come here.

Ht him!

- Brother! Please no!

l'm with you, hit him.

- No please, brother.

l said, hit him!

Go sit down.

Go!

You've grown tall like temple mast!

Won't you hit back?

Go do your job.

Come..come...welcome...

l'm very happy about your arrival...

Who are you people?

What do you want?

Are you Karthik's older brother?

He's my little brother.

lt's the same thing.

You're thin like a bean pole,

trying to get smart with us?

Break his nose!

Oh my gosh! Who are you people!

Why are you hitting my boy?

Don't hit him!

Somebody call the cops!

Stop hitting him!

Don't hit him!

What will l do now?

Your dad too is not in home.

Stop!

Don't hit him!

What did you say?

Dad's not in home?

Yes.

Hey, stop!

Wait...wait a minute...wait...wait...

What's happened to you?

- lt's nothing! Wait.

What is he doing?

- Don't know.

Who are you people?

Don't you've brothers?

We've, aunty.

They've gone to hit another guy.

Shut up, man!

What happened? Why are they hitting you?

Call yourself a mother?

- Why?

Won't tell me sooner that dad's not in home?

Would he have let this happen?

He'd have beaten the crap out of all of you.

Go stand aside.

Go!

- Are you going to fight?

l'll give you people thirty seconds.

Apologize to me and my mother for
