Of all the girls in the world why did

l fall in love with Jessie?

This is Jessie

So beautiful...

educated...

She has a style of her own...

lf l took Jessie home and told my mom,

''l want to marry her''

l am sure my mom

will happily agree

But why did l love her?

What's the problem?

She is getting married...

that's the problem!

Do you willingly, whole heartedly take Roy Thomas

as your lawfully wedded husband?

Can we decide whom

we fall in love with?

We can't go in search of love...

lt won't last

lt has to happen of

its own accord...

lt has to hit us...

make us spin topsyturvy!

lt has to be with us...always

That's true love...

lt happened to me...

Actually l didn't choose Jessie...

That love hit me!

This is me...Karthik

l finished engineering...

did a few odd jobs...

finally...jobless...

l went in search of

a well-known director

to become his assistant

To me cinema is life...

The money l had was just

what my dad gave me...

good friends...plenty of dreams...

We need one more hand...

Mr.Ganesh, my friend...

Comelet's play...

l thought you were somebody else

l have seen all your films...

Cethar vessels...

design engineer appointment...

though your marks are less...

it's my recommendation...

So they are pretty OK with that

they have asked you

to join next week...

l knew the day l joined engineering

it's a lost cause...

My life is only cinema...

l wanna be a film maker, pa

that means?

l want to apprentice under a director

learn the ropes...

direct movies...

l have written lots of stories

When you want,

come and meet me

l will introduce you

to some directors...

l am working with two or

three of them...

Whom do you want

to work with Karthik?

Gautham Menon

Do you want to make Tamil films

with English dialogues!?

Besides, he takes two years

to complete a film...

Hunt high and low...

you have to come to me...

l knew you would come...

l have what you want,

take it if you can

Switch off your damn phone!

The boy l told you...

who is interested...Karthik

yeah...studied engineering?

He looks more like a hero...

ln my next film he is

my camera man...

be in touch with him...

will let you know in a few months

This story is ideal for Ajith

how he became a rowdy...

a don and then Billa...

Hey! this is really close

to my office!

Yes sir...just shifted here

two days ago

we are building a new house...

will move in six months time...

l don't believe in cinema...

may be that's why he brought

you to defend his case...

Please don't think like that, sir

To narrate a story to a hero

one needs good communication skill...

l wouldn't tell you otherwise

Just give him some time...

When there was no breath of

fresh air in my life...

dried and withered...

That's when l saw her...Jessie

That love hit me!

Why did you shatter

my heart into pieces?

l'll give you my other heart

to break again...

- Dad!

- ln the middle of the road...

What if some car hits you...

For a film...

Hosanna...hosanna...

(Praise be to love)

That moment...one evening

the time our eyes met

the time l lost myself

something happened to me...

Touched by the sky...

Dad's chiding words

vanished with the wind...

Hosanna...

She just crossed my doorstep...

Hosanna...

that's all she did...

l'm reeling...

l'm falling to pieces...

After she left l'm searching

for my heart

Hosanna...

l came close to living...

Hosanna...

l came close to dying too...

Hosanna...

'cos ...l'll say its love

Hosanna...

in search of flowers

A cloud...a singlecloud

to caress me softly,

drop by drop

Hosanna...

Has the cloud touched you?

You become a shell

Hosanna...

Besides, her dad is a lawyer

Did your sister tell you?

Your mom has brought her up that way

An old-fashioned girl in

a modern attire!

You should only hear your heart

beating Jessie's name

Think how you can propose to her
