Did my hand prove lucky?

ls business going well?

Of course! That has

been my good fortune!

Next time I come...

...we should develop this more

Here! We should hold

another inauguration

What do you think? Of course! I

was going to suggest it myself!

(background) Singapore is Heaven!

You should give me

one of these bottles!

Wouldn't you have one at home?

Let me see! It has to be

when Father is not around

If one is drinking, this

is what one should drink

Who is in this picture? This one?

Don't remember? That's you!

And on the other side is Janaki

My boss took it on the day

of the studio inauguration

I got all that. I

meant who is this...

...in the center? That's him

- Venkidi

Those days, Boss

was after his mother

To be her second husband

This photo was taken to please her

After a lot of abuse

from her, he gave up

Let me get another drink

Good work!

What?

You know what? If you tear

something apart, the mark will remain

Then however much you

try, it won't fit together

Just try. It Will fit

What? M-PET?

What's that?

Short for Magic Carpet.

That is M-PE When the plane is ready,

we need to give it a name

This is the name!

Then let's call it M-PET Pushpaka

It will sound more stylish

I had thought of that

But let's not have that

Why not?

What's wrong with that name?

Janaki is Seetha

And how did Seetha

first get on the Pushpak?

When Ravana abducted her

So, we won't have that name

Janaki is not supposed

to board the Pushpak

So who is Ravana in this story?

Is it Anandan?

Who knows who will

come in disguise?

That's how the stories go

You know what?

This is how this story goes!

In this story, the

plane is meant for Janaki

And only for Janaki

You shouldn't be supporting

the kids in whatever they say

Instead of showing them the right

way, you dance to their tunes!

I came here in the night just so

I could give you a piece of my mind

I have seen many kinds of madness

But this is the first of its kind!

When James died and I came

home with my two kids...

...I saw mocking faces all around

With great effort I stood firm...

...and brought up the kids

But now...the mocking is on

account of his eccentricities

Right from childhood, who put

the idea of planes in his head?

His own Uncle! Don't glare at me!

And that girl Janaki

is with him all the time

Whenever I see her, I tell her it

is time to stop the childish games

They will build the plane

and fly together in it...

...for everyone to see,

is what Janaki Chechi says

That's all that's lacking now!

Fly together, indeed!

Her father will not

leave them alive!

Ignorant children

build up fantasies

Where is all this

leading, I wonder!

We can't correct them with words

He is just like his father James

You know that!

He has taken his own decisions

And he will carry them out

And in this case...

...I am with him

Hmm

In what case?

Any case!

You, my friend, who fixes lightning

wings to the dreams of clouds

Bring us that feather of

desire rising in the sky

You, my friend, who gives

rippling waves to the blue sea

Bring us a wick that

can reach up to the Sun

To rock in the cradle

of a wind that uproots

Be the wind that

rushes past the stars

To be a swan that swims

across the infinite sky

A song as we row with the stars

Shouldn't we board

it? Yes we should

And take wing? And

leave trails of dust?

I am in! Yes, you are in!

Lightning is flashing!

Your eyes are fluttering!

A hero of ancient Greece

Once flew on wings of wax

Faced smoke and fire

in the burning Sun

Did you see it? Did you?

Whether stone or wood...

...they soar with

the wings of the heart

Whether fire or water...

...they take to the

skies as spark or steam

The moments when my mind

takes wing like a butterfly

And finally this

happens, like a dream

A little bird, to frolic

in the morning hues...

...is decking herself up, slowly

Everyone has flown

through the ages...

...on the wings of their dreams

We have heard the tales...

...of mighty wings

cut off, shattered

You, my friend who fixes lightning

wings to the dreams of clouds

Bring us that feather of

desire rising in the sky

You, my friend who gives

rippling waves to the blue sea

Bring us a wick that

reaches up to the Sun

Shouldn't we board

it? Yes we should!

And take wing? And

leave trails of dust?

I am in! Yes you are!

Lightning is flashing!

Your eyes are fluttering!

This is no illusion or magic...

...they are the beats

of heavy hearts...

each woven to the other!

Come along! Come along with us!

Come on! Push! Push! Slowly!

Come on, push! Push! Hold!

Push from behind! ok!

God!

God! Let it fly this time!

God! Lord!

Can you move, Sister?

This one will fly!

For sure! Sure!

It Will fly!

Yes it will!

Let it fly, God! Please let it fly!

Such a breeze! What a breeze!

Feel that breeze!

The wind is all to the rear

Oh God!

Hold on well! Janaki, come on!

Shall I remove it? Yes! Push! Push!

Come on! Push harder! Go!

Go! Yes, yes!

Go on! Go forward! Peeli!

Move away! You might fly away!

Everyone move! Yes!

Stop running! It's so fast!

Move, Father! Go!

Don't fall! It's gaining speed

Now move away. Move!

Look, look!

Move from in front of me!

Come here!

Oh no! It's heading down!

There! It's starting to

fly! But where is it going?

Brother! Venkidi!

Venkidi!

Venkidi! Jump! Look, hole!

Venkidi!

Venkidi! Oh no!

Venkidi! Brother!

We need to get off. Come Ok

Prof. Veneteshwaran?

Yes I am R K Menon

I work for KSEB

I saw the award

function on TV yesterday.

Congrats! Thank you!

There were some controversies

when the award was declared

Someone like you having

terrorist connections?

I was really startled!

Airport attack!

Police station attack!

That you joined the DRDO

concealing your police cases

I guess the press just makes

these things up...right?

No

It stings! Don't complain!

You brought it upon yourself

Are they with the others

from the road accident?

This is different, Doctor

This was no road accident,

Sir...it was a plane crash

Haven't you read in the newspapers

about planes crashing, Doctor?

That is what this is! Look at them!

Skin grazed off their

bottoms... teeth loosened...

Plane crash?

I heard they were trying to fly

something like a plane that they made

Wow! Really? It's

the first time...

...I am treating

plane crash victims!

So tell me

- who was the pilot?

No, it's alright! You may lie down

You will be here for a few days.

I will ask for details later

We are just glad it

stopped at this, Sir

At least this put an end to it...

...their crazy dream to fly!

Ends it? Says who?

They were saying they should not

repeat the same errors next time

I heard them advise their

nephew just this morning

I need to send the kids to school

I will send someone

with the medicines

Come away with me, Sister

Let them continue

with their discussions

Alright. Let's go

Next time, build a
