Couple Friendly (2026) Movie Script
[mobile phone ringing]
Why do you look upset, Shailu?
Periods?
Mood-swings?
You don't really know
how to talk, Shiva, do you?
When we started our relationship,
two years ago, I was paying eight EMIs.
I have been closing it one by one
and now I only have two remaining.
I'm closing one
more EMI this month.
But only one...
Sir, bill.
You were saying
about the last one.
I lost hope that it
would end easily.
- That's why I came here to close it.
- Hmm...
I can't keep waiting
anymore, Siva.
[steel glass clatters]
Okay, bye.
So, how did the interview go?
It was fine, Dad.
Bring a nice cup of coffee for our 'sir'.
No need, Dad.
I had something outside.
When he's had ice cream outside.
Why bother drinking
coffee at home, right?
Dad...
After barely passing his 10th exams,
he couldn't get into any proper group.
Sir, had no problem paying
three lakhs for a diploma seat.
That too for five years.
When I thought he'd take
up engineering after that
he randomly decided to do
something else, what's it called?
- Interior Designer.
- Yes.
Sir, paid another two lakhs
easily...
...and spent two whole
years just plucking nails.
He holds on to his pride, even
when he doesn't make a single rupee.
He spends his days hanging around coffee
shops and ice cream parlors with girls.
- I wonder when he settles down.
- What happened now?
He is trying to do something, right?
He just sits in front
of the laptop all day.
Doesn't he ever think about
going out and earning a living?
What kind of son
have you given birth to?
I have to leave Nellore, no matter what.
Siva... Siva!
Siva, where are you going?
I'm going to Chennai.
[motorcycle starts]
Who left the motor running again?
Where's that Telugu girl, Mithra?
She is taking a shower.
This is the sixteenth time.
There's always someone complaining
about something because of her.
Can't she even turn off the motor?
The cost of the damage she's
causing is nearly double her rent.

[in Tamil] You are really
getting on my nerves.
It's been 4 months
since you paid any rent.
Vacate the house,
if you can't pay the rent.

"Anxiety!"
"We've lived a life
steeped in constant anxiety"
"Fortune's tide has perpetually
receded from my shore"
"At a feast in a line, is
a ball what we dine?"
"Will you throw a fish into
the water after cooking it?"
"We carry out unrelated
jobs, showing no shame."
"We've become out of practice."
"Anxiety!"
Your ideas look good...
But how can we trust a big
project in the hands of a fresher.
"I barely climb an inch,"
"before I'm plunged a mile below"
"Catch a ride."
"A pat of powder"
"Wasting my quiver on a job hunt."
"In the silence of the pool,"

"Anxiety!"
"We've lived a life

"Fortune's tide has perpetually
receded from my shore"
You have waited for 18 months, already.
Wait for few more days. Okay.
[in Tamil] Unfortunately, you don't
have any prior projects. Sorry.
Let's hope we get to work
together in the future. All the best.
What happened?
Nothing.
What do you do?
Interior Designer.
Carpenter?
Do you know how
to hammer a nail?
I know exactly where to strike.
"I am a burden to my own soul."
"Dreams have become distant"
"The reality is quite bitter."
"The mind is being stubborn!"
"Whatever the world says..."
"my ongoing struggle continues..."
When are you coming home?
I'll be back this week, Dad.
I've had your excuses.
It's been 10 months
since you left for Chennai.
That's it! You can go to
Chennai once the letter arrives.
- Dad...
- Listen!
We can't hold the
groom's family any more.
Come back home
first thing tomorrow.
Do you understand?
Yes, brother.
I gave you the short film 4 days
Don't I pay you on time?
I need to send it to a festival
tomorrow, when will you send it?
I will send it shortly, brother.
Have you watched the
short film? How is it?
It's the best.
The grocery shop owner near our house...
is planning to open
another supermarket.
Your sister-in-law has
recommended you do its interior work.
How is she doing?
She's unable to take it.
The IVF treatment is
only for our parent's sake.
Take care of her first.
OK?
Also, don't tell our
parents anything about me.
Don't worry about them.
I've transferred you some
money. I'll talk to you later.
Have you ever earned a
single rupee on your own?
Have you ever bought at
least a nail and hammer?
Life might seem easy now.
But once we're gone, you might
end up begging your brother...
for even a single meal.
We can't hold the
groom's family any more.
Come back home
first thing tomorrow.
"Anxiety!"
"We've lived a life
steeped in constant anxiety"

Excuse me...
[in Tamil]: Who are you?
Do you stay here?
Yes. Why do you ask?
- A girl named Swetha...
- [telugu song plays]
Are you Telugu?
Great.
I dropped a girl named Swetha right here.
The fare isn't credited yet.
She's not answering her phone.
If you happen to see her,
could you ask her to send
Rs. 60 via GPay to my number?
I have been waiting
here for quite some time.
Swetha.
Swetha.
The bike taxi guy is waiting.
Seems his fare is not credited.
He asked me to inform you.
It's debited from my side.
Tell him, I'll check with the company.
Tell him yourself.
You could easily find
an auto on road.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello...
Hi, you gave me your number at
the PG hostel yesterday, remember?
Yes, the money
is not credited yet.
If you could drop me at
the Koyambedu bus stand...
I'll pay you along with her money.
What?
Dude, I do bike pooling.
I don't do bike taxi service.
Sorry, I ...
How do I look to her?
You said you weren't coming?
I had nothing else to do today.
Didn't have any money too.
I thought I might get both
the fares if I dropped you.
Where are you from?
Why do you care?
Oh dear...
I asked so that I could drop
you at the exact bus point.
Chittoor.
You are from?
Nellore.
Are you going to
attend a function?
No...
Then why are you leaving?
I got placed in a company,
but didn't get the call letter yet.
That's why...
You said, you don't do bike taxi's...
You don't seem like you have a proper job.
Why bike pooling?
Hello, I am a budding Interior Designer.
Budding? Since how many years?
I finished my course and
assisted two designers already.
I am trying to sign
my own project now.
I feel like I have
seen you somewhere.
Thanks.
Don't forget to rate me.
Five stars.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello.
What happened?
Can you drop me at my hostel?
Alright, give me your bag.
It's alright.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello.
- What happened?
- No vacancy, it seems.
Someone else occupied my space.
My friend Preethi
recently moved to Adyar.
Please drop me there.
Alright...
Uncle...
Is Preethi here?
Idiot.
Uncle? He is my boyfriend.
Oh. Sorry.
So, what's the matter?
I had to vacate the
hostel all of a sudden.
Can I stay at your
place just for today?
I shall find another
hostel tomorrow.
It's not a big deal,
but I have a
client call tonight.
So, only Raghu will be at my place.
Oh, him?
Alright. Thanks, Preethi.
I'll look for some place else.
I'll call you if I need help.
Okay. Bye.
[in Tamil]: Come here.
Hello.
I am still here. Come.
What?
- What shall we do?
- Search until we find a hostel.
I shall take care
of the expenses.
"Oh, rains... at last, you
transcend from the sky."
'No vacancy'
"A journey across the
stars, only to find myself?"
"Little bird... did you
come looking for me?"
Yes, rooms are available.
"Let me trail you from here ever after."
But only after 10th of this month.
"Though my lips deny you,
my legs lead me to your side."
Vacant only after
10th of this month.
"This... is boundless joy."
"You've eaten into my space..."
"I see you everywhere.
Are you omnipresent?"
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
"We are racing against time,
scurrying through the streets."
Sir, the bill is Rs. 150.
"I laugh at myself for being
a 'yes master' to all you say."
"Is this a dream, or reality?"
I cannot tell the two apart."
"Let us pace this
journey steadily, together."
- Mom
- Where have you reached?
Mom, I got a call from another company.
I got called for an interview.
So, I got down and came back.
I find it hard to believe.
The groom is in town now.
Didn't you say you'll be here?
If you keep bringing up the topic of
marriage, I'll run off to Leh or Ladakh.
Ladakh? Don't people
usually run off to Kasi?
I will go wherever I find peace.
But I shall call only you.
- Handle dad yourself. Bye!
- Mithra!
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
Let's go.
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
I can pay up to 8,000 Rupees.
Those are full. I got one
vacant room for Rs. 15,000.
Thanks Akka.
"No turning back now"
Where do we go now?
Is it fair to abandon
a girl on the road?
Dear Lord!
Why do you have to bring
up "girl and boy" topic now?
Excuse me. How much is it?
Rs. 120, sir.
I am ready to push my budget
upto 10,000. Let's search.
Will you come to my room?
Yuck. To his room, it seems.
I didn't mean to offend you.
'Retard '
I didn't mean it.
Stop acting innocent.
I remember now.
A year ago, I saw you with
a girl at Nellore hospital.
How many girls'
lives have you ruined?
Dear, I don't ruin anyone's
life other than my own.
Please wait a second.
She is my sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law
Alright, why did you call me to your room?
Didn't you say were ready to
give 10,000 as rent? That's why.
What do you mean by your room?
I just realised my house owner
doesn't hesitate to use bad-words.
'A hole'
Basically, I haven't
paid rent for two months.
If you move in, my
rent would be halved.
I mostly come home
just to eat and freshen up.
I spend most of the day outside.
I even sleep on the terrace.
You won't be disturbed at all.
Alright...
I'll stay if I like the place.
Otherwise, I'll leave.
What if people from your
area, start judging me?
That will never happen.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello
Sir!
- Who is it?
- I have a room booked.
Sign here.
Give me both of your ID cards.
The hotel description
said 'Couple Friendly'.
Please go ahead and take rest.
He must have thought,
you lured me here, right?
You did lure me, didn't you?
Back then, you took me on
a tour searching for a stay.
And now, you've brought me here.
Go take a shower first?
- Hello
- Siva sir, where are you both?
Both? What do you mean?
Stop fooling around, sir.
Things are getting serious here.
It would be good if both of you came back.
- Please listen to me!
- The signal's weak. I'll call you back.
- I'll call you back.
- Sir, listen! Please!
[vendor calling over loudspeaker]
" As for my dreams, this nest is okay... "
" After all the roaming, I get
to stretch my wings a little. "
" I might not be the queen,
but this is my kingdom after all..."
"We might not be related..."
Sorry for the delay.
"but whatever this is, this is nice..."
Excuse me.
Could you drop me at the mall on your way?
I'll pay for the ride.
That's okay.
Shall we stop for some tea?
Do you have time?
Heading for an interview?
All the best.
What happened?
Looks like you're making
a lot from bike pooling.
Not really. It just covers
my daily expenses.
So, is your family
supporting you?
When my dad was working,
he used to give me money.
I gladly took it.
But it's unfair to take it
even after his retirement.
He'll still support me.
He hasn't changed.
But the fact that I
haven't changed yet...
That's why...
I lie to my parents
and manage things.
My brother knows the truth,
but sometimes I feel
like lying to him too.
Budding interior designer.
The decisions I make in life.
Not even one has worked out yet.
I don't have grand dreams.
When I finally land
my first project,
I want to gift a hammer
and a nail to my father.
Siva...
What's your plan for today?
I have to visit a construction office
in Guindy to submit a quotation.
How many offices
have you visited so far?
Maybe around twenty.
Why do you ask?
I looked through your
project samples on the shelf.
They're actually quite good.
But your communication skills...
You don't know how to speak, do you?
So?
I'll tell you.
Hey... Listen...
Let me explain, please?
Your communication skills are very bad.
It will make you stumbled.
See?
We are an interior design team, we
believe in delivering quality service.
You should check out some
of the materials that we have here.
You can see different
textures and colours.
You can actually physically feel this.
This sir, you won't find anywhere.
The ball is in your court, sir.
Your idea's good, but you've
got no past work to back it up.
Stumbled?
You thought they'd hand it
over because a girl shows up?
- I planned to win their attention.
- Oh, the attention is free.
So, you shall take it.
But project involves
money and so they think.
Who cares about a
tuck or a makeover?
[indistinct chatter]
- What happened?
- The chain sprocket is worn out, sir.
What kind of life is this?
No good happens to me.
Haven't you worked
on any projects before?
I would've, if someone
had given me a chance.
I'll tell you.
Have you decided on a
name for your company?
Re-View Interiors.
Nice name.
Do you have a school or
college WhatsApp group?
Yeah, but I'm not
very active in it.
Let's list your company on
Google Maps with a fake address.
Send it to your friends and
ask them to leave reviews.
Will that really get us projects?
It's worth a shot.
Where do you want
the office to be?
- T.Nagar
- Great.
I've sent the link
to your whats-app.
Forward it to your friends.
[announcement on speaker]

Sir...
Sir...
If you could just show us the unit once...
I'll give you a better quote than
any other designer you've met.
Okay.
Come.
Sir...
Sir...
Under this washbasin...
I need a small, compact cupboard.
Quotation for this?
Didn't you ask for share?
Let's get out of this torture
as quickly as possible.
Please wait, sir. I'll be back.
Didn't you say you'd have
done it if given a chance?
This is the first project. Let's do it.
Anna...
My first entry...
Jai Balayya!
When we met last time, you
were working as an assistant.
Thank you for remembering
and calling me for your first project.
Hey, have you prepared for the pooja?
Sir, what should I do?
Hmm... Tell me.
- We can talk after you wash your hands.
- Anna!
The job is to build a
cupboard underneath.
This is the job?
So, you called me
for doing this job?
Sir, the pooja items cost more than this!
Anna...
- This is my first project.
- So
Please...
We'll pay you Rs. 50 extra.
- Please return the pooja items.
- Okay, brother.
Shall we start?
Bro, the charge might be so less.
My bill shall never back down...
What?
A little wider and a tad bit lengthier...
If I do that...
Are you planning
to lie down inside?
Isn't it only to store
your phenyl bottle?
Go make me some tea.
Please go.
- Idiot.
- Same to you.
Why couldn't he take up
a security job if he's old?
He just stays home
and torture others.
Here's your share...
I think I lost my purse somewhere.
Did you have any money in it?
- Okay.
- The house keys were in there.
What are you looking at?
All I see is makeup.
I'm trying to find
the face beneath.
Oh... I heard there are hidden
cameras in shady hotels like this.
That's why...
Buy your tickets!
Two tickets for LIC.
[indistinct chatter]
Have you been in love before?
Yes... Sathish.
We matched on a dating app.
Then we met, went on dates, fell in love.
I only found out later...
that he runs parlours.
- Oh! A businessman?
- Parlors...
with happy endings.
Stop pretending to be
innocent. It's kind of a brothel.
Take it lightly.
Don't you have any
love stories on your own?
I was in love.
- Not anymore.
- Why?
- She ditched me.
- Reason...
I had no job or source
of income.
She said, 'Even after two
years, you'll still be the same.'
She was right.
Did you truly love her?
I wouldn't have been
if I'd known she'd leave me.
But yes, I was honest.
This is the stop for
LIC and Spencer.
[whistle]
What? Getting emotional now?
Come on, let's go.
- Here?
- Yes, here. Come on.
Hey!
Start the bus.
I want to shout at the top of my
lungs while in the middle of the road.
People might take you for a mad person.
Let them...
Are you always like this?
You plan and cancel a trip easily.
You suddenly attend the interview with me.
Do you only care about the present?
What happens after that?
Order two kalakkis.
Brother, two kalakkis.
Before this moment
becomes a thing of the past...
if we act on what we truly intend,
we won't have anything to regret in life.
The future that you mentioned...
if we think about this moment, then...
it will remain as a satisfying moment.
[thunderstorm]
Won't people take you for a mad
person, if you kiss on the road?
if we act on what we truly intend,
we won't have anything to regret in life.
it will remain as a satisfying moment.
[thunderstorm]
[mobile phone ringing]
Have you slept?
No, tell me.
Why don't you tell me something?
Would you mind
telling me what to say?
Say something, please.
What's with the formal tone?
Why don't you be more affectionate?
I'll try.
Go ahead.
Mind telling me what
you are doing, dear?
Nothing much.
See, if you keep being
formal, I will do it too.
Nothing, darling.
Okay, sweetheart.
What's more, tittu?
Please say something, mittu?
Idiot! Don't you have
anything better to talk?
Won't you start a topic, fool?
Oh no... was that
you scolding me?
I'm sorry, mittu.
It's alright.
What else?
What?
Satisfying work, Siva.
- Thank you.
- What?
Don't jump to conclusions.
This is the review for
the cupboard you made.
Your first honest review.
You are lucky indeed.
Oh!
I was waiting to
get busy in life.
For the first time...
I can see hope.
Can you give me a hug?
I was struggling to make a living.
But now I'm
living a 'live-in' life.
Hey...
You won't ditch me, right?
I'll tell you.
This place really is nice.
[vehicles honking]
[indistinct voice]
[indistinct chatter]
[mobile phone ringing]
Keep eating, I'll be right back.
[mobile phone ringing]
Before it was a phenyl cupboard.
Maybe now it's the bathroom soap box.
What did you say?
I meant, the quotation
is going to be massive.
Let's head inside.
I would rather work as a security
guard at Ramoji than work under him.
- Here...
- Thank you.
Anna.
We checked out several properties
and last month, we finalized on this one.
That's great, sir.
Siva, the whole interior is yours. The
kitchen, wardrobes, ceiling, all of it.
- Okay?
- Sure, sir.
We have shortlisted a
few ideas from Pinterest.
It would be great if you
could add your inputs too.
Sure! Sure! I'm happy to pitch in.
Sir...
Once I see the villa,
I can give you a detailed quotation.
- OK, OK!
- With ideas and options, of course.
Sir, you might have met a
number of designers before.
I promise to give you the
best quotation for the work.
Ofcourse, yes.
Siva, actually...
We considered a
number of designers.
But we finalized you after my
father-in-law recommended your name.
- Thumbathigam sir?
- Yes.
All the best.
- Hello, tell me.
- MD of Re-View Interiors speaking...
Get ready for the second project.
Super. Congrats!
"Let our odyssey begin,"
"as a new realm beckons."
"Love is eternal"
"You are mine, and mine alone."
"You are my soul"
- "Ho... one you and one me..."
- Hi.
- "we walked the same way on these paths."
- Hi, sir!
- I'm Nithya.
- Nice to meet you.
"Just as I thought...
meeting you made it real."
"The language of

He isn't leaving.
Sir, did you have food?
No...
- Let me go for a tea break then.
- Work first.
Here too.
She is married.
- Aunty, indeed.
- I didn't ask for an explanation.
This is not the right length...
Oh... Bull..Sh.. This is fine.
One minute, sir.
Siva sir.
There are so many
workers here, why target me?
Anna, what happened?
I just can't work under him.
He started with something small. Now
he wants everything to be extra large.
- Bloody fool.
- Anna, this is just my second project.
Please.
But he is close to
piercing my nose with nails.
Owner is very kind. He
asked me if I had food.
Ofcourse he asked you, if
you ate. He will never ask me...
"If you remain my companion,"
"that's all I need. It's
a festival of its own."
"A small scar to remember us by..."
"etched in memory forever."
"Every step I take, you follow
like an undeniable truth."
"You are my destination"
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
"Let our odyssey begin,"
- "Love is eternal"
- When are you going to talk about marriage?
Tomorrow.
- "You are mine."
- I'll go home and talk to them in person.
"You are my soul, love"
"Ho... one you and one me, we
walked the same way on these paths"
"The language of
silence tells your breath"
"I saw it with all my heart"
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
Hey...
We've roamed around enough.
Let's get married.
- Let's do it.
- When?
Tomorrow.
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
Mom, please don't bring
this up until I get a job.
I'll call you later.
I have an interview
tomorrow. Can you drop me?
I have a client meeting. Can
I confirm tomorrow morning?
That's alright.
All the best.
[honking]
Hello! Anna, where are you?
Right around the corner. On my way.
Alright. I am waiting.
- Tell me.
- I am right here.
I haven't left yet.
Where?
Hi...
Hi...
Didn't I promise I'd pick you up?
I forgot.
- Were you here to purchase any materials?
- No.
- Meeting someone, maybe?
- No.
Then this is a miracle.
Why?
Because you took effort to pick me up.
I totally deserve this.
I cleared card EMIs, but now
the EMI for the car has begun.
Didn't you buy the car
because you liked it?
It's fine.
I feel like leaving...
- To Nellore? When?
- Not Nellore.
Just somewhere.
I was thinking we could
go on a trip after this project.
A trip?
With the same credit
card you just paid off?
I will receive the
money from this project.
Let me check if I have any
interviews lined up in the meantime.
You never considered
joining our company?
- I don't really know what it involves...
- Then learn.
What's wrong with that?
You never gave up on
your passion. So how can I?
How can you call working
in an IT company a passion?
This is going nowhere.
Just drop it.
If we keep delaying things, thinking
we have all the time in the world.
people will call
you a mad person.
Your life has changed. And you
believe mine has changed too.
What's this called?
- Let's go ahead with the trip.
- I'll tell you.
What do you mean?
Waiting... Waiting...
How many more
interviews will you attend?
Why don't you think
about yourself for once?
You won't ask me this question.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello. Anna, where are you?
Have you gone mad?
[vehicles honking]
Life is all about ups and downs
like a heartbeat monitor.
If it flat-lines like you, it
means something's wrong.
People need hope, Siva.
- Have you ever given me hope?
- Hope?
I made you a priority.
I came to pick you up.
I totally deserve this.
We started off addressing
each other with respect.
Now we are calling each
other with cute names.
This isn't love.
For you, yesterday, today,
and tomorrow all feel the same.
Nothing ever changes.
There's no magic.
You want everything you wish for
to fall into place.
- But when it does, you start blaming it.
- Look...
If something bothers me, I'll
call it out. What's wrong with that?
You act like life is the miniature
models you make for clients...
as if you can predict exactly
how the future will look.
If the future is not certain, why
keep pressuring me about marriage?
What did you just say?
When I was bike pooling,
you were doing better than me.
And seeing me struggle...
made you feel
better about yourself.
Now that the tables have turned,
that's the real issue.
Go, if you want to.
I don't mind.
Brother.
Delivery
- What's the name?
- Siva.
- Keep it there and go
- Okay.
[mobile phone ringing]
- Amma
- Siva, how are you?
- I am good.
- How is the new house?
- Everything's fine.
- Is the owner staying in the same flat?
I don't know, mother.
- Haven't you gone to bed yet?
- Not yet.
Your dad is really mad at you.
You promised to come
home, but you didn't.
They say the groom
is a good match.
If you talk about this any more,
I won't pick your calls again.
And then... Siva...
Yes. Hello...
- Hello...
- Hello...
- Some more sambar.
- Yes...
Alright. What are you up to?
Nothing much.
Hostel food is so boring. So, I'm
planning to go to Preethi's place.
Oh? Who is she staying with?
She's staying with another girl.
Mom, you were saying something?
How are you?
Dad...
I am fine. How are you?
Mmm. Alright.
Did your mother inform you?
About what?
Your mom and I are coming to Chennai.
Why is that?
There's a well-known
IVF center in Anna Nagar.
We thought we'd
give it one last try.
We were waiting for the "Ashadam
month" to pass before starting.
The boy works in Chennai.
Let's meet him at his office.
Okay.
When does the Ashadam month end?
Do whatever you want...
But make sure you're
free the day after tomorrow.
Send me your address.
Dad...
- What is it?
- Nothing.
I'll send you the address.
- Yes.
- Here.
"It is silence..."
"the very
thread that knits our..."
"...lives together."
Our house keys? What for?
Nothing serious. I need it for a
couple of days till my parents return.
"is never short of surprises"
"A marriage of hearts..."
"...destined to stay for eternity."
"It is in these moments that
reality is finally reflected."
"Deafening silence isn't helping"
Dad! Please come in.
- Siva!
- Mom, come inside.
The office looks good.
"Let no silly words create a rift."
It's a simple procedure.
Don't be scared, okay.
"Disappointments have
filled the void of emptiness."
- Let me take care of the bill.
- I'll do it. You go.
It's alright.
- Take the card
- Let me handle it.
- Hello
- Yes.
- We are here to meet Karthik.
- Okay, sir.
"This loneliness... it
only adds more pain."
"Those tired wings speak
volumes of the struggle."
"Lips seal the mounting agony within,"
"like nimbus clouds
holding their rain."
- Hello, uncle
- Hello, dear.
- "Like a cloud..."
- Please sit down.
"heart longs this day."
"A simple rift that widens..."
"...into a bottomless fissure."
Sir, cash or card...
Sir...
Card...
- Talk to him.
- Me? What shall I do?
Say something.
Dear, you have to take the call?
Uncle, I am happy with the proposal.
Siva!
My parents were happy
with this proposal already.
And now...
after meeting you all in person.
I feel this is it.
Her blood pressure shot up suddenly. So,
I had to stop the procedure immediately.
It would have turned very
risky, if I had continued.
We can't go ahead with
the treatment anymore.
Doctor...
So, we'll fix an auspicious date
to meet your folks at your place.
Let's do that.
"A marriage of hearts..."
"...destined to stay for eternity."
"It is in these moments that
reality is finally reflected."
"Deafening silence isn't helping."
I will call you once we reach there.
Inform your company
and come home right away.
Where is Preethi?
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Let's have dinner in the
bathtub after this.
Hmm.
I'm waiting.
After you come home, we
have to visit Karthik at his house.
Take care of your works
here and come home soon.
Let's go.
[mobile engaged tone]
What happened?
Why are you drying clothes at this hour?
It's nothing.
After coming home from IVF treatment,
she got a little dizzy
and threw up a little.
Does this happen often?
It's all because of the
treatment. It stays for few days.
Once she gets back on her
feet emotionally and physically.
Everything will be sorted then.
There were days when I
desperately wanted a kid.
Now I am at a place where
I don't want kids anymore.
She couldn't take it.
She fights alone in her room.
Only I get to see that.
But she has never
denied the treatment.
Every time she gets admitted,
when I sign the form that
says, 'it's at your own risk'.
I get frightened.
To give birth to a life,
she is risking her own...
How much mental strength would it take?
If she's well, that's
more than enough for me.
Do you need to give birth to have an heir?
Otherwise not?
She trusts me.
I should stand by her
Alright, let's talk by morning.
Go to sleep.
Brother, I am going in to give quotation.
Alright, sir. Come back with a cheque.
Are you going for a walk?
What do you want?
You didn't attend my calls.
You weren't there when
I needed you the most.
There's no point in talking now.
It's not like that...
Listen to me...
Some issues came up suddenly...
- I didn't even have my phone.
- Why come now, then?
I was scared you'd say the dreaded
words that "the moment's gone."
If we keep fighting over things I love...
I might forget
myself in the process.
I'm sorry. I truly mean it.
I spoke without thinking.
You really don't know how
to speak sometimes... I know.
Preethi, can I say something?
Why don't we just stay here?
We've got water...
this soap...
and a great room.
You don't have a problem.
But, I'm the one paying
all the bills for our house.
You are right.
- Hmm?
- Come.
The groom has
agreed to the marriage.
My parents have gone
back to prepare for wedding.
Don't worry.
I'll meet him in person to explain...
Mithra is just a myth for him.
I'll sort this out easily.
Hey...
After several moons, I
got a match in Tinder...
Why don't you go date her?
I deleted the account.
Leave first.
Hey...
You won't ditch me, right?
I'm not sure.
[doorbell ringing]
It's not our door.
[doorbell ringing]
Definitely ours.
My parents! They must've
forgotten something. Hide, quick.
- Hide!
- Where?
- Dad, what happened?
- Move aside.
The idiot couldn't tell the difference
between 11 AM and 11 PM.
Mom, what happened?
Your brother-in-law booked the
ticket for tomorrow morning, not tonight.
- The ticket is for tomorrow?
- Yes!
Wait, Dad. Let me book
something for you now.
No need for that.
If we buy another ticket,
we'll lose money. Let's just cancel it.
Whose slipper is this?
What is it, Dad?
What were you doing?
- I just had dinner.
- What did you have?
Idli...
I had some idli with sides...
Why don't you go change?
Let's figure this out by morning.
What aren't you in
bed at this hour?
When will your friend
Preethi be coming home?
Preethi...
- Why are you so quiet?
- She's coming, Dad.
Madam, the repair is done.
Please check it yourself.
Also, don't forget to rate
5 stars for my service.
Who is he?
He came to repair the dish TV.
Dish TV?
- Come with me, you...
- Dad, stop.
Please, just listen to me.
How dare you enter a
girl's place at this hour?
- Sir, please listen to me.
- Dad!
Preethi... Baby...
Come closer. Come on.
- Come on.
- Stop it.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello, did he call you to
confirm about the next project?
Shankar anna, please help me.
- What help should I do?
- Siva got caught.
Who caught him?
My father caught him. I told
he came to repair the dish TV.
Who comes at this
hour to repair dish TV?
He sweet talked me into coming here
for a quotation and he trapped me now.
He fooled me too.
Anna, please come and do something.
Alright, hang up now.
I said, hang up.
Aunty?
People have lost their censors (senses)!
Let me plan something.
Hey, Siva got caught.
Well, that's his problem.
Why should we care?
- Come, baby.
- Are you out of your mind?
That house is ours.
Let's go. Come on.
Is this an apartment or a motel?
How can anyone
just walk in like that?
Where is the security?
How dare you
come in at this hour?
Uncle, let's not do this here.
Let's take this
upstairs. Please, uncle.
What are you saying?
Why should we do it upstairs?
Uncle, let's go upstairs and discuss this.
What do you mean? Would you agree
if this had happened to your daughter?
Who are you?
Uncle, he is my boyfriend.
Excuse me, make way.
Who are you?
I'm Shankar. We work at the same company.
Our MD kept calling him, but he
didn't answer, so they sent me.
You weren't answering. The boss
was all over me for that. Let's go.
- Hey
- Are you coming too?
Who is this guy?
Leave us,
we are getting late to our office.
What dth do you have?
Uncle, it's Airtel.
Don't you know how
to plan things properly?
Sir, I genuinely thought
she was your daughter!
What?
Stop supporting your daughter.
Is this how you give
quotations to clients?
His hand is so huge...
A tight slap it was.
Is this how you repay
the trust we placed in you?
Sir, please... leave the girl alone.
Age is just a number.
Some sins don't
get washed away, sir.
Bloody, idiot.
It's not about you, sir.
Nothing, sir.
General advice.
Take care, sir.
I can see through his
innocent-looking face
That's enough. Leave now.
Your son was waiting for us to
leave so that he could enter the house.
There is always a lock to the door.
It is your daughter who
opened the door and invited him.
Don't you forget that?
They were already living like a married
couple. This discussion is pointless.
Keep quiet, will you?
Listen, we have found a
groom for our daughter.
Her marriage is in ten months.
They are not school kids.
They are old enough
to earn and get married.
They say they are in love.
It is only fair to talk to them.
Love marriage does not suit our family.
Why don't you do something?
Fix a prospective bride for
your son within your caste.
Alright, I get the problem now.
Then it's no use talking now.
We were living a respectful life so far.
We want to spend our last days with
the same respect. It's fair, isn't it?
Dear, I don't have a problem if
you come home with us right away.
All I need is my son to lead a happy life.
Dear Lord...
Great family, isn't it?
They are calling you.
Go!
Listen...
You might have all day.
but wehave a ton of work
to do back home.
Let's go.
Get up.
Oh no...
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
Dad...
The house keys are with me.
Let me give it to Preethi.
Make it quick.
You wait.
She is coming back.
I thought of coming with
you, when you called.
But it would be
insulting for my parents.
These are only for few days.
Everything will be sorted.
Living together?
Siva!
Did Mithra call you?
Not yet.
She will.
[mobile switched off message]
[mobile engaged tone]
Hi...
- You are...
- Brother...
I am Mithra's...
Lover?
- Yes, brother.
- Please sit.
Brother...
Mithra visited my house and
explained everything to my folks.
We shall drop the
marriage citing some reason.
Okay.
Actually, I couldn't
contact her, brother.
That got me worried.
For the sake of love...
you are taking such efforts.
That's really brave.
You are lucky indeed.
Thanks a lot, brother.
OK, brother.
[mobile phone ringing]
Yes, Siva.
Hello Preethi,
I couldn't reach Mithra at all.
Did she call you?
Not yet, Siva.
I will try to reach her somehow.
Don't you worry.
Anything from Mithra?
I couldn't reach her at all.
You men...
when your loved ones are in pain,
you want to be there for them,
but all you do is think about it.
Solutions to certain problems...
are not easy to find, Siva.
Just stay by our side.
That's enough.
We shall take care of the rest.
[mobile phone ringing]
- Siva, tell me.
- Brother...
I need a favour.
[mobile phone ringing]
- Hello...
- Hello, Siva?
Where are you?
Mithra...
[muted voices]
- Doctor...
- Sir...
We are not well equipped.
Take her to a big hospital soon.
'Fronto Temporal Lobar Degeneration'
Picks disease is it's name.
Nerve cells in the brain...
would stop working gradually.
And now she is at the core.
How come all of a sudden?
Genetic connections.
Stress, Food,
Radiations, Life habits.
Today's society has no
shortage of such sources.
Diseases that usually
affect people over 40...
are seen in 10
year old kids now.
We might get Warning
signs and abnormal symptoms
but we ignore them
and carry on with our day.
Can she be cured, doctor?
When the cells stop working...
it would reflect
on every organs.
We can't guarantee anything.
We will try our best.
With proper medications, treatment...
and proper care, we can make a difference.
Life must have ups and
downs like a heartbeat monitor.
It must not
flat-line like yours.
"The horizon... where
does it start or end?"
"Is there anyone to
testify to its existence?"
"Who pulls the strings in this odd game?"
"Who scripts the love?
Who casts the roles?"
"A tale of unpredictability."
I think my father will accept
our relationship after this.
"Won't it bond with heart
like a true friend?"
"Stay with me in a 'forever'
where time has no bounds."
"Let this be a tale that never ends."
"Memories are the
fossils that..."
"...endure forever."
"Memories are forever...
love's eternal,"
"formless shape."
"Stay with me in a 'forever'..."
"...where time has no bounds."
"An eternal thread..."
"...binds us,"
"weaving you and I..."
"...into the fabric of love."
"A life of two souls"
Sir, the balance cheque
from the last project.
Sorry, anna. I couldn't be
present at work like before.
Please take care
of Mithra for now.
I will take care of
the rest outside.
"Stay with me in a 'forever'..."
"...where time has no bounds."
Master, one kalakki...
"Let this be a tale that never ends."
Only use the tube when
her oxygen level goes down.
Until she's back to normal, always keep
an oxygen cylinder near her for safety.
"Let this be a tale that never ends."
Who is admitted?
It's my mom. For you?
- My wife.
- Okay.
Do you go to your
office regularly?
Why do you ask?
You spend all day
here. That's why.
Can I get a hug?
Wait. Let me help you.
Sister, did you see Mithra?
Look there.
Hey...
Didn't I make it clear?
We want nothing to do with you.
This is exactly why...
I kept insisting her to
move back to our hometown.
I can't imagine the
amount of pain she was in.
And I shudder to
think what's next.
Oh! While I was worrying how she
would endure the pain, your son...
What kind of a family are you?
No matter how low he stoops,
you're always there, propping him up.
Aren't you ashamed at all?
Dad!
Are you in your right mind?
Bring her back home and?
You'd force her into marriage.
And pressure her
into having a child.
to save your reputation, you'll make
her undergo treatment to bear one.
So, don't talk about pain.
You will never understand it.
Are you going to your office?
Alright. You think
Mithra is suffering?
To you, pain might just be another word.
It is hell for people
who endures it.
And it's Mithra who
is living that hell.
I don't know how many more like you
are clinging to false pride and honor.
But Mithra knows exactly
who she wants by her side now.
They look like a good pair, right?
Where do we go next? Police station?
Why do we have to worry about the
problems that haven't even started yet?
Hey, I didn't mean to
talk about your father.
From now on...
it's hashtag moments
and memories with Mithra.
I'll be back.
Siva, you are making a mistake.
They are trying to file
a police complaint.
Stop blowing this up.
Where are you?
How long must she
endure treatment hell?
It's been six months.
She has lived enough between
those four walls and machines.
She trusts me.
I should stand by her, right?
Magic city, isn't it?
Kollam?
No, Chennai.
You've come to Kerala
and miss Chennai?
While you were
chasing your future
I was searching for my present.
Chennai gave us both.
That day at the tea shop...
with a painful smile
you said, "Budding
Interior Designer".
That painful smile.
Nice!
You are a sadist.
Thinking about yesterday
would take away all of today
and we wouldn't have
anything to recollect tomorrow.
You were right.
Life must have ups and
downs like a heartbeat monitor.
So...
I'll tell you.
"Has my gaze made
the vast sky seem small?"
"Won't these tears
outweigh the vast ocean?"
"Am I nothing but soulless music?"
"A senseless word?"
"Is all we have just
naught... without you?"
"Am I just effort spent in vain?"
"Nothing but despicable wisdom?"
"In all this silence, am I just the zero?"
"The fluttering sound of freedom..."
"has left my heart in
a deafening silence."
"I am now the caretaker... of loneliness."
"A music made of silent notes?"
I don't know if love
is a choice or a need.
All I know is that it's fate.
If it's meant to happen...
there is no way to stop it.
Who are you?
If I ask you this
question again someday?
What will you do then?
Bloody hell...
I haven't brushed yet.
This is not your doing.
I have to drag this
around like a toddler.
"Selfishness... in human form."
"I am the absolute"
"What truly belongs to me?
Where is my end?"
"Absolute oblivion"
"Can the depth of all existence be
measured by a single, naked gaze?"
"The fluttering sound of freedom..."
"has left my heart in
a deafening silence."
"Language fails me... there are
no words left for what we are."
"Can I cherish those memories eternally?"
"Earth remains my home, even
when I am lost among the stars."
We only think about how
we need to live our lives.
"My wonder never fades
when I look at you."
All he is thinking about is
ways to make me survive.
But no one really knows
the time we have left here.
"You are the sweetest lullaby"
The way I saw him
the very first time...
I realize I still see him
the exact same way.
"Shall we unify into one entity?"
Kittu!
"I am now the caretaker... of loneliness."
Nothing. I wanted to look at you.
"A music made of silent notes?"
But not with this beard...
"I am now the caretaker... of loneliness."
"A music made of silent notes?"
I forgot the way
we took to get here.
This isn't Chennai or Chittoor.
Even I don't remember the route.
Let's go.
What is it?
Has it come at a wrong time?
Stop overthinking.
I was thinking if I could
have one more day like this.
This day hasn't ended yet.
I feel like shouting at the top of lungs.
Go ahead.
[Mithra screaming]
One minute.
I'll be right back.
What are you doing inside?
Please come with me.
She doesn't know what's
happening in her body.
She is not able to voice it out.
If all this would turn into
a myth, that would be great.
Sorry, uncle.
You won't ditch me, right?
Shall we go on a trip?
Mithra...
Can you hear me?
Look at my finger.
People are here to meet you.
Can you recognize anyone?
Mithra...
She is not responding.
I want you to continue the medications...
When someone is
born into this world
we welcome them with great joy.
But when they leave
remembering their memories
and the times we spent with them
will only bring us pain.
Mithra would have felt the same.
We tend to think a lot when
we are losing our memory.
she would have cherished
the moments spent with you.
she would have remembered
the time spent with you.
Maybe it's better
for her to forget.
Every moment left in her life...
belongs only to her.
These collection of
moments become memories.
Mithra was lucky to have you.
So...
Have you grown a beard again?
So, it was Shailaja before
and now it's me, huh?"
Siva, I feel like I
left at the right time.
I wanted peace
more than happiness.
And you gave me that.
Now, all you need to focus
on now is your own life.
Be careful with
every step you take.
And you have this habit of
crying alone on the terrace.
That's enough. You've
cried enough already.
From now on, let it
be only happiness.
That's what I
wanted to give you.
I hope you will follow.
If I say I forgot you, I'd
only be lying to myself.
I had already prepared
myself to say goodbye.
Hey, I'm not making
some grand sacrifice here.
It just happened. That's it.
And what are you going to
do all alone in Chennai now?
Shall I give you an advice?
You might get angry if I do.
I wanted to say
all this in person.
But you would have got back at
me with some sort of reply...
because...
you don't really know
how to talk, do you?
'Life is all about sudden goodbyes.'
'Handle it with care.'
Why do you look upset, Shailu?
Periods?
Mood-swings?
You don't really know
how to talk, Shiva, do you?
When we started our relationship,
two years ago, I was paying eight EMIs.
I have been closing it one by one
and now I only have two remaining.
I'm closing one
more EMI this month.
But only one...
Sir, bill.
You were saying
about the last one.
I lost hope that it
would end easily.
- That's why I came here to close it.
- Hmm...
I can't keep waiting
anymore, Siva.
[steel glass clatters]
Okay, bye.
So, how did the interview go?
It was fine, Dad.
Bring a nice cup of coffee for our 'sir'.
No need, Dad.
I had something outside.
When he's had ice cream outside.
Why bother drinking
coffee at home, right?
Dad...
After barely passing his 10th exams,
he couldn't get into any proper group.
Sir, had no problem paying
three lakhs for a diploma seat.
That too for five years.
When I thought he'd take
up engineering after that
he randomly decided to do
something else, what's it called?
- Interior Designer.
- Yes.
Sir, paid another two lakhs
easily...
...and spent two whole
years just plucking nails.
He holds on to his pride, even
when he doesn't make a single rupee.
He spends his days hanging around coffee
shops and ice cream parlors with girls.
- I wonder when he settles down.
- What happened now?
He is trying to do something, right?
He just sits in front
of the laptop all day.
Doesn't he ever think about
going out and earning a living?
What kind of son
have you given birth to?
I have to leave Nellore, no matter what.
Siva... Siva!
Siva, where are you going?
I'm going to Chennai.
[motorcycle starts]
Who left the motor running again?
Where's that Telugu girl, Mithra?
She is taking a shower.
This is the sixteenth time.
There's always someone complaining
about something because of her.
Can't she even turn off the motor?
The cost of the damage she's
causing is nearly double her rent.

You have waited for 18 months, already.
Wait for few more days. Okay.
[in Tamil] Unfortunately, you don't
have any prior projects. Sorry.
Let's hope we get to work
together in the future. All the best.
What happened?
Nothing.
What do you do?
Interior Designer.
Carpenter?
Do you know how
to hammer a nail?
I know exactly where to strike.
"I am a burden to my own soul."
"Dreams have become distant"
"The reality is quite bitter."
"The mind is being stubborn!"
"Whatever the world says..."
"my ongoing struggle continues..."
When are you coming home?
I'll be back this week, Dad.
I've had your excuses.
It's been 10 months
since you left for Chennai.
That's it! You can go to
Chennai once the letter arrives.
- Dad...
- Listen!
We can't hold the
groom's family any more.
Come back home
first thing tomorrow.
Do you understand?
Yes, brother.
I gave you the short film 4 days
Don't I pay you on time?
I need to send it to a festival
tomorrow, when will you send it?
I will send it shortly, brother.
Have you watched the
short film? How is it?
It's the best.
The grocery shop owner near our house...
is planning to open
another supermarket.
Your sister-in-law has
recommended you do its interior work.
How is she doing?
She's unable to take it.
The IVF treatment is
only for our parent's sake.
Take care of her first.
OK?
Also, don't tell our
parents anything about me.
Don't worry about them.
I've transferred you some
money. I'll talk to you later.
Have you ever earned a
single rupee on your own?
Have you ever bought at
least a nail and hammer?
Life might seem easy now.
But once we're gone, you might
end up begging your brother...
for even a single meal.
We can't hold the
groom's family any more.
Come back home
first thing tomorrow.
"Anxiety!"
"We've lived a life
steeped in constant anxiety"
"Fortune's tide has perpetually
receded from my shore"
"I barely climb an inch,"
"before I'm plunged a mile below."
Excuse me...
[in Tamil]: Who are you?
Do you stay here?
Yes. Why do you ask?
- A girl named Swetha...
- [telugu song plays]
Are you Telugu?
Great.
I dropped a girl named Swetha right here.
The fare isn't credited yet.
She's not answering her phone.
If you happen to see her,
could you ask her to send
Rs. 60 via GPay to my number?
I have been waiting
here for quite some time.
Swetha.
Swetha.
The bike taxi guy is waiting.
Seems his fare is not credited.
He asked me to inform you.
It's debited from my side.
Tell him, I'll check with the company.
Tell him yourself.
You could easily find
an auto on road.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello...
Hi, you gave me your number at
the PG hostel yesterday, remember?
Yes, the money
is not credited yet.
If you could drop me at
the Koyambedu bus stand...
I'll pay you along with her money.
What?
Dude, I do bike pooling.
I don't do bike taxi service.
Sorry, I ...
How do I look to her?
You said you weren't coming?
I had nothing else to do today.
Didn't have any money too.
I thought I might get both
the fares if I dropped you.
Where are you from?
Why do you care?
Oh dear...
I asked so that I could drop
you at the exact bus point.
Chittoor.
You are from?
Nellore.
Are you going to
attend a function?
No...
Then why are you leaving?
I got placed in a company,
but didn't get the call letter yet.
That's why...
You said, you don't do bike taxi's...
You don't seem like you have a proper job.
Why bike pooling?
Hello, I am a budding Interior Designer.
Budding? Since how many years?
I finished my course and
assisted two designers already.
I am trying to sign
my own project now.
I feel like I have
seen you somewhere.
Thanks.
Don't forget to rate me.
Five stars.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello.
What happened?
Can you drop me at my hostel?
Alright, give me your bag.
It's alright.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello.
- What happened?
- No vacancy, it seems.
Someone else occupied my space.
My friend Preethi
recently moved to Adyar.
Please drop me there.
Alright...
Uncle...
Is Preethi here?
Idiot.
Uncle? He is my boyfriend.
Oh. Sorry.
So, what's the matter?
I had to vacate the
hostel all of a sudden.
Can I stay at your
place just for today?
I shall find another
hostel tomorrow.
It's not a big deal,
but I have a
client call tonight.
So, only Raghu will be at my place.
Oh, him?
Alright. Thanks, Preethi.
I'll look for some place else.
I'll call you if I need help.
Okay. Bye.
[in Tamil]: Come here.
Hello.
I am still here. Come.
What?
- What shall we do?
- Search until we find a hostel.
I shall take care
of the expenses.
"Oh, rains... at last, you
transcend from the sky."
'No vacancy'
"A journey across the
stars, only to find myself?"
"Little bird... did you
come looking for me?"
Yes, rooms are available.
"Let me trail you from here ever after."
But only after 10th of this month.
"Though my lips deny you,
my legs lead me to your side."
Vacant only after
10th of this month.
"This... is boundless joy."
"You've eaten into my space..."
"I see you everywhere.
Are you omnipresent?"
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
"We are racing against time,
scurrying through the streets."
Sir, the bill is Rs. 150.
"I laugh at myself for being
a 'yes master' to all you say."
"Is this a dream, or reality?"
I cannot tell the two apart."
"Let us pace this
journey steadily, together."
- Mom
- Where have you reached?
Mom, I got a call from another company.
I got called for an interview.
So, I got down and came back.
I find it hard to believe.
The groom is in town now.
Didn't you say you'll be here?
If you keep bringing up the topic of
marriage, I'll run off to Leh or Ladakh.
Ladakh? Don't people
usually run off to Kasi?
I will go wherever I find peace.
But I shall call only you.
- Handle dad yourself. Bye!
- Mithra!
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
Let's go.
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
"Walk with me, friend...
for our paths are now one."
"Walk with me, and let
our journey finally begin."
I can pay up to 8,000 Rupees.
Those are full. I got one
vacant room for Rs. 15,000.
Thanks Akka.
"No turning back now"
Where do we go now?
Is it fair to abandon
a girl on the road?
Dear Lord!
Why do you have to bring
up "girl and boy" topic now?
Excuse me. How much is it?
Rs. 120, sir.
I am ready to push my budget
upto 10,000. Let's search.
Will you come to my room?
Yuck. To his room, it seems.
I didn't mean to offend you.
'Retard '
I didn't mean it.
Stop acting innocent.
I remember now.
A year ago, I saw you with
a girl at Nellore hospital.
How many girls'
lives have you ruined?
Dear, I don't ruin anyone's
life other than my own.
Please wait a second.
She is my sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law
Alright, why did you call me to your room?
Didn't you say were ready to
give 10,000 as rent? That's why.
What do you mean by your room?
I just realised my house owner
doesn't hesitate to use bad-words.
'A hole'
Basically, I haven't
paid rent for two months.
If you move in, my
rent would be halved.
I mostly come home
just to eat and freshen up.
I spend most of the day outside.
I even sleep on the terrace.
You won't be disturbed at all.
Alright...
I'll stay if I like the place.
Otherwise, I'll leave.
What if people from your
area, start judging me?
That will never happen.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello
Sir!
- Who is it?
- I have a room booked.
Sign here.
Give me both of your ID cards.
The hotel description
said 'Couple Friendly'.
Please go ahead and take rest.
He must have thought,
you lured me here, right?
You did lure me, didn't you?
Back then, you took me on
a tour searching for a stay.
And now, you've brought me here.
Go take a shower first?
- Hello
- Siva sir, where are you both?
Both? What do you mean?
Stop fooling around, sir.
Things are getting serious here.
It would be good if both of you came back.
- Please listen to me!
- The signal's weak. I'll call you back.
- I'll call you back.
- Sir, listen! Please!
[vendor calling over loudspeaker]
" As for my dreams, this nest is okay... "
" After all the roaming, I get
to stretch my wings a little. "
" I might not be the queen,
but this is my kingdom after all..."
"We might not be related..."
Sorry for the delay.
"but whatever this is, this is nice..."
Excuse me.
Could you drop me at the mall on your way?
I'll pay for the ride.
That's okay.
Shall we stop for some tea?
Do you have time?
Heading for an interview?
All the best.
What happened?
Looks like you're making
a lot from bike pooling.
Not really. It just covers
my daily expenses.
So, is your family
supporting you?
When my dad was working,
he used to give me money.
I gladly took it.
But it's unfair to take it
even after his retirement.
He'll still support me.
He hasn't changed.
But the fact that I
haven't changed yet...
That's why...
I lie to my parents
and manage things.
My brother knows the truth,
but sometimes I feel
like lying to him too.
Budding interior designer.
The decisions I make in life.
Not even one has worked out yet.
I don't have grand dreams.
When I finally land
my first project,
I want to gift a hammer
and a nail to my father.
Siva...
What's your plan for today?
I have to visit a construction office
in Guindy to submit a quotation.
How many offices
have you visited so far?
Maybe around twenty.
Why do you ask?
I looked through your
project samples on the shelf.
They're actually quite good.
But your communication skills...
You don't know how to speak, do you?
So?
I'll tell you.
Hey... Listen...
Let me explain, please?
Your communication skills are very bad.
It will make you stumbled.
See?
We are an interior design team, we
believe in delivering quality service.
You should check out some
of the materials that we have here.
You can see different
textures and colours.
You can actually physically feel this.
This sir, you won't find anywhere.
The ball is in your court, sir.
Your idea's good, but you've
got no past work to back it up.
Stumbled?
You thought they'd hand it
over because a girl shows up?
- I planned to win their attention.
- Oh, the attention is free.
So, you shall take it.
But project involves
money and so they think.
Who cares about a
tuck or a makeover?
[indistinct chatter]
- What happened?
- The chain sprocket is worn out, sir.
What kind of life is this?
No good happens to me.
Haven't you worked
on any projects before?
I would've, if someone
had given me a chance.
I'll tell you.
Have you decided on a
name for your company?
Re-View Interiors.
Nice name.
Do you have a school or
college WhatsApp group?
Yeah, but I'm not
very active in it.
Let's list your company on
Google Maps with a fake address.
Send it to your friends and
ask them to leave reviews.
Will that really get us projects?
It's worth a shot.
Where do you want
the office to be?
- T.Nagar
- Great.
I've sent the link
to your whats-app.
Forward it to your friends.
[announcement on speaker]
[mobile phone ringing]

Last question.
Why Re-View Interiors?
Sir, we're offering a 10% discount
as part of our company's launch offer.
If you face any issues within the next
five years, we'll be here within an hour.
Sir, there won't be any issues.
At most, minor inch issues may
come and fixing that would be Rs. 100 only
I'll do it free of cost.
Sir...
Sir...
If you could just show us the unit once...
I'll give you a better quote than
any other designer you've met.
Okay.
Come.
Sir...
Sir...
Under this washbasin...
I need a small, compact cupboard.
Quotation for this?
Didn't you ask for share?
Let's get out of this torture
as quickly as possible.
Please wait, sir. I'll be back.
Didn't you say you'd have
done it if given a chance?
This is the first project. Let's do it.
Anna...
My first entry...
Jai Balayya!
When we met last time, you
were working as an assistant.
Thank you for remembering
and calling me for your first project.
Hey, have you prepared for the pooja?
Sir, what should I do?
Hmm... Tell me.
- We can talk after you wash your hands.
- Anna!
The job is to build a
cupboard underneath.
This is the job?
So, you called me
for doing this job?
Sir, the pooja items cost more than this!
Anna...
- This is my first project.
- So
Please...
We'll pay you Rs. 50 extra.
- Please return the pooja items.
- Okay, brother.
Shall we start?
Bro, the charge might be so less.
My bill shall never back down...
What?
A little wider and a tad bit lengthier...
If I do that...
Are you planning
to lie down inside?
Isn't it only to store
your phenyl bottle?
Go make me some tea.
Please go.
- Idiot.
- Same to you.
Why couldn't he take up
a security job if he's old?
He just stays home
and torture others.
Here's your share...
I think I lost my purse somewhere.
Did you have any money in it?
- Okay.
- The house keys were in there.
What are you looking at?
All I see is makeup.
I'm trying to find
the face beneath.
Oh... I heard there are hidden
cameras in shady hotels like this.
That's why...
Buy your tickets!
Two tickets for LIC.
[indistinct chatter]
Have you been in love before?
Yes... Sathish.
We matched on a dating app.
Then we met, went on dates, fell in love.
I only found out later...
that he runs parlours.
- Oh! A businessman?
- Parlors...
with happy endings.
Stop pretending to be
innocent. It's kind of a brothel.
Take it lightly.
Don't you have any
love stories on your own?
I was in love.
- Not anymore.
- Why?
- She ditched me.
- Reason...
I had no job or source
of income.
She said, 'Even after two
years, you'll still be the same.'
She was right.
Did you truly love her?
I wouldn't have been
if I'd known she'd leave me.
But yes, I was honest.
This is the stop for
LIC and Spencer.
[whistle]
What? Getting emotional now?
Come on, let's go.
- Here?
- Yes, here. Come on.
Hey!
Start the bus.
I want to shout at the top of my
lungs while in the middle of the road.
People might take you for a mad person.
Let them...
Are you always like this?
You plan and cancel a trip easily.
You suddenly attend the interview with me.
Do you only care about the present?
What happens after that?
Order two kalakkis.
Brother, two kalakkis.
Before this moment
becomes a thing of the past...
if we act on what we truly intend,
we won't have anything to regret in life.
The future that you mentioned...
if we think about this moment, then...
it will remain as a satisfying moment.
[thunderstorm]
Won't people take you for a mad
person, if you kiss on the road?
if we act on what we truly intend,
we won't have anything to regret in life.
it will remain as a satisfying moment.
[thunderstorm]
[mobile phone ringing]
Have you slept?
No, tell me.
Why don't you tell me something?
Would you mind
telling me what to say?
Say something, please.
What's with the formal tone?
Why don't you be more affectionate?
I'll try.
Go ahead.
Mind telling me what
you are doing, dear?
Nothing much.
See, if you keep being
formal, I will do it too.
Nothing, darling.
Okay, sweetheart.
What's more, tittu?
Please say something, mittu?
Idiot! Don't you have
anything better to talk?
Won't you start a topic, fool?
Oh no... was that
you scolding me?
I'm sorry, mittu.
It's alright.
What else?
What?
Satisfying work, Siva.
- Thank you.
- What?
Don't jump to conclusions.
This is the review for
the cupboard you made.
Your first honest review.
You are lucky indeed.
Oh!
I was waiting to
get busy in life.
For the first time...
I can see hope.
Can you give me a hug?
I was struggling to make a living.
But now I'm
living a 'live-in' life.
Hey...
You won't ditch me, right?
I'll tell you.
This place really is nice.
[vehicles honking]
[indistinct voice]
[indistinct chatter]
[mobile phone ringing]
Keep eating, I'll be right back.
[mobile phone ringing]
Before it was a phenyl cupboard.
Maybe now it's the bathroom soap box.
What did you say?
I meant, the quotation
is going to be massive.
Let's head inside.
I would rather work as a security
guard at Ramoji than work under him.
- Here...
- Thank you.
Anna.
We checked out several properties
and last month, we finalized on this one.
That's great, sir.
Siva, the whole interior is yours. The
kitchen, wardrobes, ceiling, all of it.
- Okay?
- Sure, sir.
We have shortlisted a
few ideas from Pinterest.
It would be great if you
could add your inputs too.
Sure! Sure! I'm happy to pitch in.
Sir...
Once I see the villa,
I can give you a detailed quotation.
- OK, OK!
- With ideas and options, of course.
Sir, you might have met a
number of designers before.
I promise to give you the
best quotation for the work.
Ofcourse, yes.
Siva, actually...
We considered a
number of designers.
But we finalized you after my
father-in-law recommended your name.
- Thumbathigam sir?
- Yes.
All the best.
- Hello, tell me.
- MD of Re-View Interiors speaking...
Get ready for the second project.
Super. Congrats!
"Let our odyssey begin,"
"as a new realm beckons."
"Love is eternal"
"You are mine, and mine alone."
"You are my soul"
- "Ho... one you and one me..."
- Hi.
- "we walked the same way on these paths."
- Hi, sir!
- I'm Nithya.
- Nice to meet you.
"Just as I thought...
meeting you made it real."
"The language of
silence tells your breath"
"I saw it with all my heart"
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
He isn't leaving.
Sir, did you have food?
No...
- Let me go for a tea break then.
- Work first.
Here too.
She is married.
- Aunty, indeed.
- I didn't ask for an explanation.
This is not the right length...
Oh... Bull..Sh.. This is fine.
One minute, sir.
Siva sir.
There are so many
workers here, why target me?
Anna, what happened?
I just can't work under him.
He started with something small. Now
he wants everything to be extra large.
- Bloody fool.
- Anna, this is just my second project.
Please.
But he is close to
piercing my nose with nails.
Owner is very kind. He
asked me if I had food.
Ofcourse he asked you, if
you ate. He will never ask me...
"If you remain my companion,"
"that's all I need. It's
a festival of its own."
"A small scar to remember us by..."
"etched in memory forever."
"Every step I take, you follow
like an undeniable truth."
"You are my destination"
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
"Let our odyssey begin,"
- "Love is eternal"
- When are you going to talk about marriage?
Tomorrow.
- "You are mine."
- I'll go home and talk to them in person.
"You are my soul, love"
"Ho... one you and one me, we
walked the same way on these paths"
"The language of
silence tells your breath"
"I saw it with all my heart"
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
Hey...
We've roamed around enough.
Let's get married.
- Let's do it.
- When?
Tomorrow.
"Let's push the limits"
"and have our little battles."
"Let that smile be what you're known for."
Mom, please don't bring
this up until I get a job.
I'll call you later.
I have an interview
tomorrow. Can you drop me?
I have a client meeting. Can
I confirm tomorrow morning?
That's alright.
All the best.
[honking]
Hello! Anna, where are you?
Right around the corner. On my way.
Alright. I am waiting.
- Tell me.
- I am right here.
I haven't left yet.
Where?
Hi...
Hi...
Didn't I promise I'd pick you up?
I forgot.
- Were you here to purchase any materials?
- No.
- Meeting someone, maybe?
- No.
Then this is a miracle.
Why?
Because you took effort to pick me up.
I totally deserve this.
I cleared card EMIs, but now
the EMI for the car has begun.
Didn't you buy the car
because you liked it?
It's fine.
I feel like leaving...
- To Nellore? When?
- Not Nellore.
Just somewhere.
I was thinking we could
go on a trip after this project.
A trip?
With the same credit
card you just paid off?
I will receive the
money from this project.
Let me check if I have any
interviews lined up in the meantime.
You never considered
joining our company?
- I don't really know what it involves...
- Then learn.
What's wrong with that?
You never gave up on
your passion. So how can I?
How can you call working
in an IT company a passion?
This is going nowhere.
Just drop it.
If we keep delaying things, thinking
we have all the time in the world.
people will call
you a mad person.
Your life has changed. And you
believe mine has changed too.
What's this called?
- Let's go ahead with the trip.
- I'll tell you.
What do you mean?
Waiting... Waiting...
How many more
interviews will you attend?
Why don't you think
about yourself for once?
You won't ask me this question.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello. Anna, where are you?
Have you gone mad?
[vehicles honking]
Life is all about ups and downs
like a heartbeat monitor.
If it flat-lines like you, it
means something's wrong.
People need hope, Siva.
- Have you ever given me hope?
- Hope?
I made you a priority.
I came to pick you up.
I totally deserve this.
We started off addressing
each other with respect.
Now we are calling each
other with cute names.
This isn't love.
For you, yesterday, today,
and tomorrow all feel the same.
Nothing ever changes.
There's no magic.
You want everything you wish for
to fall into place.
- But when it does, you start blaming it.
- Look...
If something bothers me, I'll
call it out. What's wrong with that?
You act like life is the miniature
models you make for clients...
as if you can predict exactly
how the future will look.
If the future is not certain, why
keep pressuring me about marriage?
What did you just say?
When I was bike pooling,
you were doing better than me.
And seeing me struggle...
made you feel
better about yourself.
Now that the tables have turned,
that's the real issue.
Go, if you want to.
I don't mind.
Brother.
Delivery
- What's the name?
- Siva.
- Keep it there and go
- Okay.
[mobile phone ringing]
- Amma
- Siva, how are you?
- I am good.
- How is the new house?
- Everything's fine.
- Is the owner staying in the same flat?
I don't know, mother.
- Haven't you gone to bed yet?
- Not yet.
Your dad is really mad at you.
You promised to come
home, but you didn't.
They say the groom
is a good match.
If you talk about this any more,
I won't pick your calls again.
And then... Siva...
Yes. Hello...
- Hello...
- Hello...
- Some more sambar.
- Yes...
Alright. What are you up to?
Nothing much.
Hostel food is so boring. So, I'm
planning to go to Preethi's place.
Oh? Who is she staying with?
She's staying with another girl.
Mom, you were saying something?
How are you?
Dad...
I am fine. How are you?
Mmm. Alright.
Did your mother inform you?
About what?
Your mom and I are coming to Chennai.
Why is that?
There's a well-known
IVF center in Anna Nagar.
We thought we'd
give it one last try.
We were waiting for the "Ashadam
month" to pass before starting.
The boy works in Chennai.
Let's meet him at his office.
Okay.
When does the Ashadam month end?
Do whatever you want...
But make sure you're
free the day after tomorrow.
Send me your address.
Dad...
- What is it?
- Nothing.
I'll send you the address.
- Yes.
- Here.
"It is silence..."
"the very
thread that knits our..."
"...lives together."
Our house keys? What for?
Nothing serious. I need it for a
couple of days till my parents return.
"is never short of surprises"
"A marriage of hearts..."
"...destined to stay for eternity."
"It is in these moments that
reality is finally reflected."
"Deafening silence isn't helping"
Dad! Please come in.
- Siva!
- Mom, come inside.
The office looks good.
"Let no silly words create a rift."
It's a simple procedure.
Don't be scared, okay.
"Disappointments have
filled the void of emptiness."
- Let me take care of the bill.
- I'll do it. You go.
It's alright.
- Take the card
- Let me handle it.
- Hello
- Yes.
- We are here to meet Karthik.
- Okay, sir.
"This loneliness... it
only adds more pain."
"Those tired wings speak
volumes of the struggle."
"Lips seal the mounting agony within,"
"like nimbus clouds
holding their rain."
- Hello, uncle
- Hello, dear.
- "Like a cloud..."
- Please sit down.
"heart longs this day."
"A simple rift that widens..."
"...into a bottomless fissure."
Sir, cash or card...
Sir...
Card...
- Talk to him.
- Me? What shall I do?
Say something.
Dear, you have to take the call?
Uncle, I am happy with the proposal.
Siva!
My parents were happy
with this proposal already.
And now...
after meeting you all in person.
I feel this is it.
Her blood pressure shot up suddenly. So,
I had to stop the procedure immediately.
It would have turned very
risky, if I had continued.
We can't go ahead with
the treatment anymore.
Doctor...
So, we'll fix an auspicious date
to meet your folks at your place.
Let's do that.
"A marriage of hearts..."
"...destined to stay for eternity."
"It is in these moments that
reality is finally reflected."
"Deafening silence isn't helping."
I will call you once we reach there.
Inform your company
and come home right away.
Where is Preethi?
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Let's have dinner in the
bathtub after this.
Hmm.
I'm waiting.
After you come home, we
have to visit Karthik at his house.
Take care of your works
here and come home soon.
Let's go.
[mobile engaged tone]
What happened?
Why are you drying clothes at this hour?
It's nothing.
After coming home from IVF treatment,
she got a little dizzy
and threw up a little.
Does this happen often?
It's all because of the
treatment. It stays for few days.
Once she gets back on her
feet emotionally and physically.
Everything will be sorted then.
There were days when I
desperately wanted a kid.
Now I am at a place where
I don't want kids anymore.
She couldn't take it.
She fights alone in her room.
Only I get to see that.
But she has never
denied the treatment.
Every time she gets admitted,
when I sign the form that
says, 'it's at your own risk'.
I get frightened.
To give birth to a life,
she is risking her own...
How much mental strength would it take?
If she's well, that's
more than enough for me.
Do you need to give birth to have an heir?
Otherwise not?
She trusts me.
I should stand by her
Alright, let's talk by morning.
Go to sleep.
Brother, I am going in to give quotation.
Alright, sir. Come back with a cheque.
Are you going for a walk?
What do you want?
You didn't attend my calls.
You weren't there when
I needed you the most.
There's no point in talking now.
It's not like that...
Listen to me...
Some issues came up suddenly...
- I didn't even have my phone.
- Why come now, then?
I was scared you'd say the dreaded
words that "the moment's gone."
If we keep fighting over things I love...
I might forget
myself in the process.
I'm sorry. I truly mean it.
I spoke without thinking.
You really don't know how
to speak sometimes... I know.
Preethi, can I say something?
Why don't we just stay here?
We've got water...
this soap...
and a great room.
You don't have a problem.
But, I'm the one paying
all the bills for our house.
You are right.
- Hmm?
- Come.
The groom has
agreed to the marriage.
My parents have gone
back to prepare for wedding.
Don't worry.
I'll meet him in person to explain...
Mithra is just a myth for him.
I'll sort this out easily.
Hey...
After several moons, I
got a match in Tinder...
Why don't you go date her?
I deleted the account.
Leave first.
Hey...
You won't ditch me, right?
I'm not sure.
[doorbell ringing]
It's not our door.
[doorbell ringing]
Definitely ours.
My parents! They must've
forgotten something. Hide, quick.
- Hide!
- Where?
- Dad, what happened?
- Move aside.
The idiot couldn't tell the difference
between 11 AM and 11 PM.
Mom, what happened?
Your brother-in-law booked the
ticket for tomorrow morning, not tonight.
- The ticket is for tomorrow?
- Yes!
Wait, Dad. Let me book
something for you now.
No need for that.
If we buy another ticket,
we'll lose money. Let's just cancel it.
Whose slipper is this?
What is it, Dad?
What were you doing?
- I just had dinner.
- What did you have?
Idli...
I had some idli with sides...
Why don't you go change?
Let's figure this out by morning.
What aren't you in
bed at this hour?
When will your friend
Preethi be coming home?
Preethi...
- Why are you so quiet?
- She's coming, Dad.
Madam, the repair is done.
Please check it yourself.
Also, don't forget to rate
5 stars for my service.
Who is he?
He came to repair the dish TV.
Dish TV?
- Come with me, you...
- Dad, stop.
Please, just listen to me.
How dare you enter a
girl's place at this hour?
- Sir, please listen to me.
- Dad!
Preethi... Baby...
Come closer. Come on.
- Come on.
- Stop it.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello, did he call you to
confirm about the next project?
Shankar anna, please help me.
- What help should I do?
- Siva got caught.
Who caught him?
My father caught him. I told
he came to repair the dish TV.
Who comes at this
hour to repair dish TV?
He sweet talked me into coming here
for a quotation and he trapped me now.
He fooled me too.
Anna, please come and do something.
Alright, hang up now.
I said, hang up.
Aunty?
People have lost their censors (senses)!
Let me plan something.
Hey, Siva got caught.
Well, that's his problem.
Why should we care?
- Come, baby.
- Are you out of your mind?
That house is ours.
Let's go. Come on.
Is this an apartment or a motel?
How can anyone
just walk in like that?
Where is the security?
How dare you
come in at this hour?
Uncle, let's not do this here.
Let's take this
upstairs. Please, uncle.
What are you saying?
Why should we do it upstairs?
Uncle, let's go upstairs and discuss this.
What do you mean? Would you agree
if this had happened to your daughter?
Who are you?
Uncle, he is my boyfriend.
Excuse me, make way.
Who are you?
I'm Shankar. We work at the same company.
Our MD kept calling him, but he
didn't answer, so they sent me.
You weren't answering. The boss
was all over me for that. Let's go.
- Hey
- Are you coming too?
Who is this guy?
Leave us,
we are getting late to our office.
What dth do you have?
Uncle, it's Airtel.
Don't you know how
to plan things properly?
Sir, I genuinely thought
she was your daughter!
What?
Stop supporting your daughter.
Is this how you give
quotations to clients?
His hand is so huge...
A tight slap it was.
Is this how you repay
the trust we placed in you?
Sir, please... leave the girl alone.
Age is just a number.
Some sins don't
get washed away, sir.
Bloody, idiot.
It's not about you, sir.
Nothing, sir.
General advice.
Take care, sir.
I can see through his
innocent-looking face
That's enough. Leave now.
Your son was waiting for us to
leave so that he could enter the house.
There is always a lock to the door.
It is your daughter who
opened the door and invited him.
Don't you forget that?
They were already living like a married
couple. This discussion is pointless.
Keep quiet, will you?
Listen, we have found a
groom for our daughter.
Her marriage is in ten months.
They are not school kids.
They are old enough
to earn and get married.
They say they are in love.
It is only fair to talk to them.
Love marriage does not suit our family.
Why don't you do something?
Fix a prospective bride for
your son within your caste.
Alright, I get the problem now.
Then it's no use talking now.
We were living a respectful life so far.
We want to spend our last days with
the same respect. It's fair, isn't it?
Dear, I don't have a problem if
you come home with us right away.
All I need is my son to lead a happy life.
Dear Lord...
Great family, isn't it?
They are calling you.
Go!
Listen...
You might have all day.
but wehave a ton of work
to do back home.
Let's go.
Get up.
Oh no...
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
Dad...
The house keys are with me.
Let me give it to Preethi.
Make it quick.
You wait.
She is coming back.
I thought of coming with
you, when you called.
But it would be
insulting for my parents.
These are only for few days.
Everything will be sorted.
Living together?
Siva!
Did Mithra call you?
Not yet.
She will.
[mobile switched off message]
[mobile engaged tone]
Hi...
- You are...
- Brother...
I am Mithra's...
Lover?
- Yes, brother.
- Please sit.
Brother...
Mithra visited my house and
explained everything to my folks.
We shall drop the
marriage citing some reason.
Okay.
Actually, I couldn't
contact her, brother.
That got me worried.
For the sake of love...
you are taking such efforts.
That's really brave.
You are lucky indeed.
Thanks a lot, brother.
OK, brother.
[mobile phone ringing]
Yes, Siva.
Hello Preethi,
I couldn't reach Mithra at all.
Did she call you?
Not yet, Siva.
I will try to reach her somehow.
Don't you worry.
Anything from Mithra?
I couldn't reach her at all.
You men...
when your loved ones are in pain,
you want to be there for them,
but all you do is think about it.
Solutions to certain problems...
are not easy to find, Siva.
Just stay by our side.
That's enough.
We shall take care of the rest.
[mobile phone ringing]
- Siva, tell me.
- Brother...
I need a favour.
[mobile phone ringing]
- Hello...
- Hello, Siva?
Where are you?
Mithra...
[muted voices]
- Doctor...
- Sir...
We are not well equipped.
Take her to a big hospital soon.
'Fronto Temporal Lobar Degeneration'
Picks disease is it's name.
Nerve cells in the brain...
would stop working gradually.
And now she is at the core.
How come all of a sudden?
Genetic connections.
Stress, Food,
Radiations, Life habits.
Today's society has no
shortage of such sources.
Diseases that usually
affect people over 40...
are seen in 10
year old kids now.
We might get Warning
signs and abnormal symptoms
but we ignore them
and carry on with our day.
Can she be cured, doctor?
When the cells stop working...
it would reflect
on every organs.
We can't guarantee anything.
We will try our best.
With proper medications, treatment...
and proper care, we can make a difference.
Life must have ups and
downs like a heartbeat monitor.
It must not
flat-line like yours.
"The horizon... where
does it start or end?"
"Is there anyone to
testify to its existence?"
"Who pulls the strings in this odd game?"
"Who scripts the love?
Who casts the roles?"
"A tale of unpredictability."
I think my father will accept
our relationship after this.
"Won't it bond with heart
like a true friend?"
"Stay with me in a 'forever'
where time has no bounds."
"Let this be a tale that never ends."
"Memories are the
fossils that..."
"...endure forever."
"Memories are forever...
love's eternal,"
"formless shape."
"Stay with me in a 'forever'..."
"...where time has no bounds."
"An eternal thread..."
"...binds us,"
"weaving you and I..."
"...into the fabric of love."
"A life of two souls"
Sir, the balance cheque
from the last project.
Sorry, anna. I couldn't be
present at work like before.
Please take care
of Mithra for now.
I will take care of
the rest outside.
"Stay with me in a 'forever'..."
"...where time has no bounds."
Master, one kalakki...
"Let this be a tale that never ends."
Only use the tube when
her oxygen level goes down.
Until she's back to normal, always keep
an oxygen cylinder near her for safety.
"Let this be a tale that never ends."
Who is admitted?
It's my mom. For you?
- My wife.
- Okay.
Do you go to your
office regularly?
Why do you ask?
You spend all day
here. That's why.
Can I get a hug?
Wait. Let me help you.
Sister, did you see Mithra?
Look there.
Hey...
Didn't I make it clear?
We want nothing to do with you.
This is exactly why...
I kept insisting her to
move back to our hometown.
I can't imagine the
amount of pain she was in.
And I shudder to
think what's next.
Oh! While I was worrying how she
would endure the pain, your son...
What kind of a family are you?
No matter how low he stoops,
you're always there, propping him up.
Aren't you ashamed at all?
Dad!
Are you in your right mind?
Bring her back home and?
You'd force her into marriage.
And pressure her
into having a child.
to save your reputation, you'll make
her undergo treatment to bear one.
So, don't talk about pain.
You will never understand it.
Are you going to your office?
Alright. You think
Mithra is suffering?
To you, pain might just be another word.
It is hell for people
who endures it.
And it's Mithra who
is living that hell.
I don't know how many more like you
are clinging to false pride and honor.
But Mithra knows exactly
who she wants by her side now.
They look like a good pair, right?
Where do we go next? Police station?
Why do we have to worry about the
problems that haven't even started yet?
Hey, I didn't mean to
talk about your father.
From now on...
it's hashtag moments
and memories with Mithra.
I'll be back.
Siva, you are making a mistake.
They are trying to file
a police complaint.
Stop blowing this up.
Where are you?
How long must she
endure treatment hell?
It's been six months.
She has lived enough between
those four walls and machines.
She trusts me.
I should stand by her, right?
Magic city, isn't it?
Kollam?
No, Chennai.
You've come to Kerala
and miss Chennai?
While you were
chasing your future
I was searching for my present.
Chennai gave us both.
That day at the tea shop...
with a painful smile
you said, "Budding
Interior Designer".
That painful smile.
Nice!
You are a sadist.
Thinking about yesterday
would take away all of today
and we wouldn't have
anything to recollect tomorrow.
You were right.
Life must have ups and
downs like a heartbeat monitor.
So...
I'll tell you.
"Has my gaze made
the vast sky seem small?"
"Won't these tears
outweigh the vast ocean?"
"Am I nothing but soulless music?"
"A senseless word?"
"Is all we have just
naught... without you?"
"Am I just effort spent in vain?"
"Nothing but despicable wisdom?"
"In all this silence, am I just the zero?"
"The fluttering sound of freedom..."
"has left my heart in
a deafening silence."
"I am now the caretaker... of loneliness."
"A music made of silent notes?"
I don't know if love
is a choice or a need.
All I know is that it's fate.
If it's meant to happen...
there is no way to stop it.
Who are you?
If I ask you this
question again someday?
What will you do then?
Bloody hell...
I haven't brushed yet.
This is not your doing.
I have to drag this
around like a toddler.
"Selfishness... in human form."
"I am the absolute"
"What truly belongs to me?
Where is my end?"
"Absolute oblivion"
"Can the depth of all existence be
measured by a single, naked gaze?"
"The fluttering sound of freedom..."
"has left my heart in
a deafening silence."
"Language fails me... there are
no words left for what we are."
"Can I cherish those memories eternally?"
"Earth remains my home, even
when I am lost among the stars."
We only think about how
we need to live our lives.
"My wonder never fades
when I look at you."
All he is thinking about is
ways to make me survive.
But no one really knows
the time we have left here.
"You are the sweetest lullaby"
The way I saw him
the very first time...
I realize I still see him
the exact same way.
"Shall we unify into one entity?"
Kittu!
"I am now the caretaker... of loneliness."
Nothing. I wanted to look at you.
"A music made of silent notes?"
But not with this beard...
"I am now the caretaker... of loneliness."
"A music made of silent notes?"
I forgot the way
we took to get here.
This isn't Chennai or Chittoor.
Even I don't remember the route.
Let's go.
What is it?
Has it come at a wrong time?
Stop overthinking.
I was thinking if I could
have one more day like this.
This day hasn't ended yet.
I feel like shouting at the top of lungs.
Go ahead.
[Mithra screaming]
One minute.
I'll be right back.
What are you doing inside?
Please come with me.
She doesn't know what's
happening in her body.
She is not able to voice it out.
If all this would turn into
a myth, that would be great.
Sorry, uncle.
You won't ditch me, right?
Shall we go on a trip?
Mithra...
Can you hear me?
Look at my finger.
People are here to meet you.
Can you recognize anyone?
Mithra...
She is not responding.
I want you to continue the medications...
When someone is
born into this world
we welcome them with great joy.
But when they leave
remembering their memories
and the times we spent with them
will only bring us pain.
Mithra would have felt the same.
We tend to think a lot when
we are losing our memory.
she would have cherished
the moments spent with you.
she would have remembered
the time spent with you.
Maybe it's better
for her to forget.
Every moment left in her life...
belongs only to her.
These collection of
moments become memories.
Mithra was lucky to have you.
So...
Have you grown a beard again?
So, it was Shailaja before
and now it's me, huh?"
Siva, I feel like I
left at the right time.
I wanted peace
more than happiness.
And you gave me that.
Now, all you need to focus
on now is your own life.
Be careful with
every step you take.
And you have this habit of
crying alone on the terrace.
That's enough. You've
cried enough already.
From now on, let it
be only happiness.
That's what I
wanted to give you.
I hope you will follow.
If I say I forgot you, I'd
only be lying to myself.
I had already prepared
myself to say goodbye.
Hey, I'm not making
some grand sacrifice here.
It just happened. That's it.
And what are you going to
do all alone in Chennai now?
Shall I give you an advice?
You might get angry if I do.
I wanted to say
all this in person.
But you would have got back at
me with some sort of reply...
because...
you don't really know
how to talk, do you?
'Life is all about sudden goodbyes.'
'Handle it with care.'
