Junior (2025) Movie Script

1
Say, "Aah!"
Do you have any other symptoms
besides vomiting?
I feel very tired, Doctor.
-Sir, what's the age?
-Huh?
-My age?
-Who's the patient?
She's 45 years old.
No need to worry.
It's just a case of indigestion.
Just to be on the safe side,
we'll do a quick blood test.
Why so emotional, sir?
Did you marry for love?
-Yes.
-How many kids do you have?
How many kids do you have?
We don't have any kids, Doctor.
Congratulations.
You're pregnant!
You did it at last! Keep it up!
Sir, you forgot to pay the fare.
Look what's written on the back!
Free... for the elderly!
You're not that old, sir.
Read what's written below.
Free... for pregnant women!
What?
At this age?
What, sir?
You've come to collect
the milk this morning.
Is your wife not at home?
The doctor asked her to rest.
-She's three months pregnant, you know?
-Huh?
-What? She's pregnant?
-Hey! Hey! Stop!
From tomorrow, bring
buffalo milk instead of cow milk.
Sathi, learn from him.
It's not just about lining up for milk!
At the age of white hair,
he did a great job.
Whats the use of you?
Feels like I was just cradling her
yesterday... and now it's her baby shower!
Please sit, sister.
I'll be right back.
When is your baby shower, daughter-in-law?
Be quiet, mother-in-law.
Why act shy about the baby shower
when you weren't shy making the baby?
The wait is killing us!
-What do you say, mother-in-law?
-Absolutely!
Hey! How much can you exercise?
We're training to gain strength, Grandpa!
Oh please! This isn't real strength!
Hey, Kodandapani!
Tell them the real meaning of strength!
They've been saying these things
for the past eight months.
Why does it still hurt you?
Today, whatever people say,
we willll stay silent... we will feel bad.
But we cannot trouble the child
who is yet to be born.
I've had enough...
of these people... and their words.
Let's go somewhere far away.
Even when duty takes
us to the next village...
our hearts remain restless
until we come back.
How could we live anywhere else?
To give our child a brighter future,
we must move on from our past here.
There's no other way.
"The story... had begun anew"
"Chasing dawn... in skies once blue "
"From storms of sorrow... He broke free "
"Marching on... in pursuit of dreams"
"Through halls of the past"
"Driven by hunger, not by choice
He marches on, without a voice "
"He rises, again and again"
"Now he stands as the blinding light"

Oh, god!
Shyamala!
What happened, Shyamala?
-Look after her.
-What happened?
-What happened to you, dear?
-What happened?
-Driver!
-What happened?
Doctor! Doctor!
Please come.
Come.
Take a deep breath, madam.
Everyone, please step outside.
Stay strong.
You'll be alright.
Madam... push.
[screaming]
[Infant crying]
Sorry, she's no more.
[Thunder rumbles]
Hello, guys!
Good morning, all of you!
I welcome you all
to the intercollegiate cultural fest.
I'm sure you guys are really excited
to witness what's gonna happen today!
Hey! He had the guts to come
to our college and hit me!
I won't spare him!
Hey! Search that way.
Thanks?
Hey! Close the doors.
He's around here somewhere!
Hey!
So many of us came,
and we couldn't bag even one trophy!
Happy are the winners.
They'll call us losers.
We are not losers.
We are teachers.
Out of all the competitions today,
if we'd bagged even one small trophy,
the next batch would've gotten
reckless from our win!
But now, they'll think,
"If our seniors couldn't win, we must!"
We are the teachers who inspire them!
Failure is the stepping stone to success!
Board the bus with the same energy!
Don't let people's words bother you.
Unless they call us losers...
then punch them! Go!
What happened to him?
My speech,
didn't like it or didn't get it?
Brother, these four years
have just flown by.
It was filled with many memories
and first-time experiences.
-But there's a small problem.
-What is it?
If I tell all of this
to my kids in the future, and they say,
What's this, Dad?
You keep talking about your college life.
Wasn't there a single fight?
Did you really enjoy it?
How do I respond to such questions?
-How do I answer them?
-Hey! Treat this as my final wish.
I'm just saying we'll postpone
your first-time fight experience!
If you really want to fight,
then do so with our college guys.
If I fight with our college guys,
it'll just be a small story.
It has to happen here
for it to be called a fight!
-There should be a reason, right?
-You want a reason?
-Yes.
-We'll find plenty if we start looking!
So, what reason did you cook up
to drag me here?
This guy! He didn't bother singing
even one local song while visiting us!
Oh! That's why we lost, brother.
Music needs ears, not a language.
This reason isn't good enough!
I'll give you a solid reason.
You...
Did you see that, brother?
You did, right?
Did any girl ever smile at us
over the last four years? No, right?
One wink, I missed my goal
and you missed the save!
They deliberately distracted us
and made us lose.
Could we ask for
a better reason to go after them?
-I'll watch her, you watch the scoreboard.
-I'm looking at it.
-What's their score?
-Eight.
-What's our score?
-Zero.
-Right?
-Oh.
So saving that goal
wouldn't have mattered anyway!
You're right.
Next!
There's no next! Let's go!
We didn't find a reason.
Don't complicate things.
Hey!
What is it?
If you give us a two-foot gap,
we'll leave in two seconds.
-Our bus is waiting.
-Where are you going?
Why are you in a hurry?
We won, didn't we?
We are celebrating, aren't we?
Shut up and sit in the corner.
Look at our celebrations, guys!
-[in unison]: We are the winners!
-L for losers!
Losers!
Losers!
Losers!
The next act will completely
blow your mind, Im very sure.
Put your hands together
for this exhilarating performance!
Come on, guys!
Hey!
Hey! Catch him!
Hey!
We got him!
Where will you run now?
You're finished!
Made us run all over the campus!
Now brace yourself!
Hey!
Hey! He's running away! Let's go!
"No, no, no fear!"
"For a ju ju junior!"
"No, no, no fear!"
"For a ju ju junior!"
Hey!
Return the trophy! Hey!
Huh! Do you want this?
Hey! That trophy's for winners like us.
Not losers like you!
Half the credit for your win
belongs to the ones you beat, bro.
It's okay if you don't give us
credit, but show some respect.
Give us respect and take your trophy back!
Until then...
Hey! Hey!
"Everyone around us
Weren't they once beginners?"
"The moment we're born
There's a believer in us"
"The one who weighs right and wrong
Isn't he a true leader?"
"The one who stands the test of time
Becomes an achiever!"
"Can there be an end without a start?"
" Can a tale begin
Without once upon a time?"
"Can rain exist without its drops?"
"Can there be a future without us all?"
"No, no, no fear!"
"For a ju ju junior!"
" No, no, no fear! "
"For a ju ju junior! "
"Are we at an age
Where we stop at a no? "
"We're built to fight and win! "
"Our mantra is 'Do or Die'"
"Let's break the limits
Of Newton's sky!"
"This is a highway
With no left or right"
"Let's push the speed even more!"
"Ego and competition?
That's everyday stuff "
"But if we miss them
Where's the thrill? "
"No, no, no fear!"
"For a ju ju junior! "
"No, no, no fear! "
" For a ju ju junior!"
"Like a horse with no harness "
"Let's run
Life is but an adventure! "
"All the rules?
They were written by someone else"
" Let's erase them
And rewrite them better "
"This is a zone with no right or wrong
Let's just do whatever we want!"
" This is a phase with no pass or fail
Let's go with the flow, my friend! "
" No, no, no fear!"
"For a ju ju junior! "
"No, no, no!
No, no, no fear!"
"For a ju ju junior!"
-Hello?
-Abhi!
Hi!
Dad, I've got interviews
lined up in ten days.
I'd have come home after that.
Why did you come here
out of the blue?
Abhi, didn't you say you wanted
to work here after finishing the course?
I've found a nice house.
So, we can both live here together.
-Really, Dad?
-Yes.
Dad, they're my friends.
[all] Hi, uncle!
[all] Bye, bro!
What's this, brother?
You should either be completely sad
or totally happy that he's leaving.
How can you feel both emotions at once?
Our four-year journey with him
was a rollercoaster of emotions.
For him, those years
flew by like four minutes...
But for us, they felt like
forty long years!
I thought engineering life would be fun,
like the movie Happy Days.
But it's been a week since college
started, and no one's even spoken to me.
What are you doing?
"Congratulations. You've been selected"?
Hello! Why are you writing
with a pencil instead of a pen?
Sir, I used a pen
for the last four semesters.
Did that help me pass? Nope.
That's why I'm using a pencil!
I'll definitely pass this time!
It's not a pencil you need to use,
it's your brain!
-Okay!
-Useless fellow!
What's this? I never use such big slips!
Offer letter?
I'M SELECTED!
I'm selected! Keep writing!
I'm Kamal from Hassan.
I'm Kamal from Hassan.
-You're a junior, right?
-Yes.
-What are you doing here?
-I got an offer letter.
You did?
I also got it, bro!
-You too?!
-Yes!
I've been here for the last few years.
It makes sense that I got it.
-How did you guys get it?
-Brother.
Did you also get it?
No, bro. I was the one
who sent it.
-You sent it?!
-Why?
I've selected all of you
as my friends.
That's why... I sent those offer letters.
You sent an offer letter for friendship?
-Bro! Bro! Bro!
-What is it?!
-Wait a minute.
-What one minute?
Hey scoundrel!
Whenever I wrote an exam,
I'd feel some excitement...
at least until the results came out.
You've taken that away from me!
-[all] Bro, don't do it! Bro!
-Get lost!
Bro, bro!
I have a reason for selecting you guys.
But if you want to know who I am,
there's a story behind it.
Give me ten minutes.
I'll tell you my story and the reason.
Listen!
All of you know the difference
between addition and division, right?
Alright! Tell me. What is two plus two?
[all]: Miss, I'll tell the answer.
Miss, my son will give you the answer!
The boy on the third bench.
Ask him!
Hey! Get up!
Tell me the answer.
Two plus two...
22?
Anyone would hit you for saying
two plus two equals 22!
Why are you crying about it?
That's what you thought?
Hey!
He'd cry on my behalf!
-Brother! Brother!
-Tell me!
Can you come to the parent-teacher
meeting tomorrow instead of Dad?
Hey! Scored low this time?
It's not that, brother.
Because of my dad's age,
my friends tease him
by calling him 'grandpa. '
-Will... come now?
-Neelam uncle...
What's the urgency?
Wait and watch!
Where's your dad?
Right here, miss.
The costume my dad wore that day,
sparked a new sense of hope in Asha ma'am.
Asha miss, who'd scold me all the time,
smiled at me for the first time that day.
[all] Hey! Hey!
Her laugh would've solved
the age gap issue, huh?
-Yeah!
-Yeah!
-Our problem isn't the age gap, bro.
-Then what?
Generation gap!
What are the games you played
and movies you watched while growing up?
"The golden chick is here!"
Do you know which films I grew up on?
"A shining dame on the shore!"
You narrowly escaped getting hit.
That's why we shouldn't play such games.
This is the right game!
If this game was in the Olympics, you
would've definitely won the gold medal!
Wow, your dad's something else!
He let you interact
with many girls from childhood.
Your future will be solid
just like your muscles!
Girls were all around
but my hands were full of...
Abhi...
-I like you.
-Huh?
But your dad...
reminds me of my dad and grandpa combined.
I love you...
But as a brother!
Lalli, honey!
She's not Lalli, son.
-She's your sister!
-Crap!
I decided that day, bro.
That I should stay away
from my father's love.
But how?
-What if I run away?
-He'll search for you.
-What if I go to the next town?
-He'll follow you!
-Higher studies?
-He'll definitely send you.
-Yes!
-That's why,
I barely studied, yet stunned my dad,
shook up Narayana Chaitanya College,
and topped the state!
We should make memories
of all the things I've missed so far.
-Life is all about friends, right?
-[all] Yes!
That's why, the first
real decision I made in life,
was choosing you all as my friends.
Bro, mangoes come in the summer's trend,
you are our special God-given friend!
Bro, we'll help you create all the
memories you missed so far.
We'll go to any extent
to make it possible.
Why is he asking us
to be silent in the library?
It looks like a restaurant at the back.
Is this really a theatre?
Since you said it's your first time,
we chose a peaceful place,
without any chance of fight...
You are only focusing
on the first-time experience.
I'm more into the excitement it brings.
-Excitement?
-Yes!
Wait! My hand's stuck!
Hey!
We could've been chilling in recliners.
What is this torture?
This is what a first-time
experience feels like, isn't it?
We don't know if we'll get the tickets,
if we'll even get inside the theatre,
or catch our hero's entry.
And that's the thrill of it!
What a grand opening
to our sweet memories!
So that's how it is.
-Hey!
-Brother!
Super, brother!
The entry was fire, bro.
Totally mind-blowing!
Did you see him?
He's as excited as a kid
going to college for the first time!
Brother...
One more!
We had such a wild experience yesterday.
It's better to take a break...
A week, a month, or a year!
It's not that!
You're giving me a wonderful
experience without your knowledge.
What is it?
From dropping me at school
to picking me up from college,
my dad did everything.
This is my first time taking
a bus with friends like you.
This is my first time, brother.
-Come, brother. The bus is here.
-No.
What happened?
Getting on a parked bus
is just a routine experience.
If we get on a running bus,
it's an exciting experience!
The bus... we missed!
Who in their right mind jumps
onto a moving bus like that?
Thanks! If I'd been late,
I would've missed the bus.
So, let's discuss about how
we use function definitions.
Get up! Who are you?
I've never seen you in class before.
There's no chance you'd have seen me,
because this is
not my class at all, ma'am!
Then, what are you doing here?
-Out!
-Okay, ma'am. Sorry.
They'll do everything else
apart from studies.
Not to disrespect you, ma'am.
You'll go to another class in 30 minutes.
You'll forget everything
that happened here.
But even after 60 years,
me coming into this class unexpectedly,
you throwing the cap on me
and this banter of ours,
are all beautiful,
unforgettable memories in my life.
There'll be four years to study, ma'am.
But the time to make
memories... is very less.
Thank you so much for giving me
such an amazing experience!
Silence!
If any of you have
such crazy thoughts, get out!
What will you do here all alone?
-Go and make memories!
-Ma'am, ma'am! Doubt.
I don't have time for any of this!
Do you know the lifestyle of people
with goals and ambitions?
I wake up at 5 am,
do yoga and meditation,
discuss how far away I am from my goal,
go to college from 9 am to 4 pm,
go to the library from 4 pm to 7 pm,
and prepare for every exam needed
to go to the United States!
A focused person like me
don't have time for such things.
Thanks!
Why are you saying thanks
when she's scolding you?
-You think she was scolding me?
-Yeah.
But I felt she was telling me
her daily timetable!
Stupid!
Everyone has gotten onto the bus.
What about you?
I got into it with much difficulty!
But my time isn't right.
How many days should you rest?
It takes three months to heal a fracture,
a month for a rupture,
but mine is a puncture!
It's definitely two months!
Where were you, brother?
You wouldn't believe
the excitement you missed today!
Why are you sitting here drinking Frooti
alone instead of joining us for dinner?
The doctor asked me to be
on a liquid diet for four days.
Don't believe doctors and fathers!
Why do we need all these diets?
Eat whatever you want, and sleep well!
I just slept. Is it already 8?
-No. It's still 4:30.
-Why?
-What are you doing here?
-Listen to me, Spoorti.
Until yesterday, I only wanted to chase
memories I never had in the past.
But you said it's important
to set goals for the future, too.
That's why I set them.
-What's that?
-Goal!
Oh!
Goal!
There's no progression without dedication.
Mind it.
I'm sorry. Next!
Brother...
-Brother!
-What?
Yoga was extraordinary!
Then, why do we need meditation?
It's not right to speak like that, Abhi.
The first 20 minutes is for yoga
and the next 20 minutes is meditation.
Close your eyes.
Inhale.
Exhale.
What scares you the most in life?
Abhi!
Things feel even worse
when I close my eyes.
Ignore them,
and imagine things that you like
with a peaceful mind.
Close your eyes and imagine.
We imagine things we can't see.
Why should we imagine
things right in front of us?
That's why I'm looking!
Why are you so hooked on
reading books all the time, Spoorti?
There's no other choice.
Once we are 60 years old...
You've said this already.
Now get back to studying!
See?
That's the beauty of memories, Spoorti!
Once you have them, they never fade away.
Who told you that wisdom
is gained only through books?
In fact, talking to a good man like me,
is equivalent to reading 100 books.
This is written in a book.
If you want to read,
I'm an open book to you, Spoorti!
If you want to read... only if you want!
Despite the freezing cold,
my bro's still full of fire
and determination.
Yet, she had no reaction whatsoever.
You're proving that
passion burns through any climate.
From then on, my routine was a 4:30 am
wake-up alarm and physiotherapy at 6 pm.
Why physio? You should've just done yoga.
I needed physiotherapy because I did yoga!
Six months flew by.
Spoorti, this advice
is for your own benefit.
Please stay away from the 5 am club.
I've been putting in sincere
effort for the last year.
But I'm not getting any results.
-The problem is not with the program.
-Then?
It's you... and your dedication.
Let's look at the results.
-Excuse me, excuse me.
-You don't want to look?
Oh, boy!
Hey, move!
One second. One second, please.
Bro...
What happened?
Take it, brother.
I failed despite studying by myself.
And now you're...
-It's okay. Take it.
-I don't need it!
Not in the exam hall!
You're so persistent!
Write.
Bro...
Please have them ward off
the evil eye at home.
Everyone is jealous of you.
Congratulations, brother!
But why me?
I wanted to have the experience
of seeing you pass for the first time!
But there's no fun without excitement!
That's why I made you the topper
and gave you this memory.
I wanted to share something with you.
Say it now!
-I want to ask something.
-Ask!
-We have a lot of time...
-Okay...
-If we start early..
-Early?
I think we can spend more time together.
I don't know how you do it.
You're always having fun.
But you top the class.
It's common.
I'm working hard all day long.
-Yes.
-So?
-How about we team up...
-And?
and work on the final year
project together?
I think it'll be
beneficial for both of us.
-Really?
-Yeah!
For both of us?
Look, Spoorti.
I wanted to make memories
that I missed out on in the past.
You want to work hard for the future.
We're as different as an
Aadhaar card and a marks card.
Do you believe we can sync well together?
What's there not to sync?
I see a clear line separating private
rapport from professional relationships.
I don't!
I don't have such caste feelings!
I mix all of them together!
I got more love than I
asked for since childhood.
First time,
I got an opportunity to return it.
I'm ready to think like you do.
If you're ready to see things my way,
attend the Freshers Day party tomorrow!
Memories... Project.
Let's do them both.

Abhi, give me two minutes.
I'll be right back.
Hey! That's not how you do it.
Do it like this.
Why all of this now?
It's his first visit to this house.
Do it with love.
It's only been an hour since we got here.
Why did you come by
without letting me know?
What's this, son?
Why are you asking why we're here
instead of when we arrived?
That's what I meant to ask...
It just came out wrong.
Something is not right.
Son, did your inner thoughts,
-slip out by mistake?
-Hey!
He's a kid.
Go inside.
-Go!
-Kid?!
Abhi...
Now that you're here, son...
things will only get better from here.
Here! Here!
Don't cry, dear.
-Smile! Smile!
-Smile. Look there.
Smile! Smile!
Beautiful, even when she cries.
Her smile could land her
a heroine role one day.
He's a boy, not a girl.
That's awesome.
He'd become a hero.
-Oh! Smile!
-Look there and smile!
Keep smiling!
Dad, are you here to make me cry again?
No matter where you are,
you take the night bus and
show up in my life by morning.
I should leave this country
if I want freedom.
For that to work,
I need to call my girl right away.
Abhi!
Abhi!
Tell me, Dad.
It's been a while since you went in.
I'm alright, Dad.
Just a bit of an upset stomach.
-I'll be out soon.
-Should I get you barley water?
Dad, what are you saying
in a situation like this?
Just give me five minutes, Dad. Please.
Hey! How many times should I call you?
Why do you keep calling so many
times despite me cutting the call?
Spoorti, we worked on
a project for so long.
From now on, shall we travel together?
Is it fair that only you got a job
from the project we did together?
Spoorti, could you help us find a job?
Don't you have anything else
to do? Because I do!
I'm working. I should
go to the office tomorrow. Bye.
What about buttermilk?
-Let's settle for barley water, Dad.
-Alright.
I should get a job urgently.
Why are you guys here?
We worked hard and landed jobs too.
What about him?
Wasn't certain until now.
But now that you're here,
he'll definitely come.
Oh, god!
-It's time for interns orientation.
-Of course! I'm in the office, Siri.
Yeah! Remember me in the lunch break!
Hi! Welcome!
I'm Manish!
Manish Manjrekar, your HR.
Your Team leader will tell you what to do.
But I'll tell you... what not to do.
Why did you come before the team leader?
A caution sign shows up before
you enter the danger zone.
That's why I'm here first!
So you think you'll charm your boss,
breeze through your internships,
and fly off to the United States
or Australia for onsite.
It's not that easy!
Because...
nothing is ever easy with madam!
If the driver is visibly sweating
while on cruise control,
you know madam is in the back seat.
When the weekend mood flips to work mode
both in the cafeteria and work area,
it means madam's in the building.
-What day is it today?
-Thursday.
Just two days to go for the weekend!
-There are 52 weekends in a year.
-Yes.
They'll be on the calendar,
not in your career!
Because here with our boss,
every day is a freaking Monday!
When the clock strikes 9,
madam walks into the office.
The AC displays still reads the same,
but the office heats up by four degrees.
In a minute, you'll see madam
and feel that heat at the same time.
And there she is!
Morning, sir!
[in Hindi] The lift is going up.
The madam is coming. Come out.
Hey! If someone even thinks of going up,
and suddenly, everyone's job
is to drag them down.
Quick! Madam is coming. Come out!
Hey!
-Security alert.
-Alert.
Sir, zip...
-What is it?
-Nothing.
Yes!
It's time. Why is madam not here yet?
Greet for Chairman.
Sorry, madam. I have a meeting
with the chairman.
Welcome to Rise Solutions!
Working here is a dream for many of you.
For us, teaming up with youngsters
like you is an excitement!
For the first time in the company's
history, we've selected a few interns
not just based on marks and interviews,
but also for their innovative projects.
I request Mr. Abhi
to stand up for a minute.
Congratulations, Abhi!
I loved your project!
But what stood out to me
even more was your determination.
Even though we didn't organize
placements at your college,
you reached out, impressed us
with your project,
and willingly took up the
role of an intern.
That's the spirit!
I expect the same from you here also.
Sure, sir.
So, all of you utilize every
resource and excel here.
Sir, one minute.
Yes?
When you say utilize all the resources,
-does it include the lift?
-The lift?
-Of course!
-Thanks! Thanks!
How on earth did they build that?
Sir! Sir!
Greetings, sir.
How many times do I tell you
not to come here.
Err... nothing like that, sir.
I'm here to collect his CSR cheque.
You told me you'd increase the amount...
but it hasn't.
Vijaya usually gets involved
in everything,
but she doesn't seem
too interested in CSR funds.
That's why all this is going on.
Rest assured, sir.
I performed the ritual
at the temple this morning.
The cheque gets heavier,
and so does your clout in the office.
Here's prasad.
Laddu, laddu.
From me. I'll take leave now, sir.
Look! The weather seems so romantic.
What do you feel like doing now, baby?
If you could just end the call, I'd like
to set up my alarm and go to sleep!
Why do I feel like I want to hear you...
-call me, like "Abhi... Abhi!"
-Abhi
-Aah?
-Abhi!
Hello? Hello?
Are you asleep? It's okay. Sleep.
Hello? I'm talking to you.
Are you there or not?
-Hello!
-Nothing! It's just a network issue.
-Okay.
-So, what else?
What's up with you, baby?
-You tell me.
-You first.
-Have you had dinner?
-Yeah.
Dad! Why are you here?
You've had a fear of rain
since childhood, haven't you?
So I came to keep you company.
But Dad, I don't have
any such fears, though.
I know you better than you know yourself.
Come! Sleep.
All your doubts are cleared, right?
I'll clear the rest
tomorrow at the office.
Doubt? Hello...
Eh, I don't need a mask, sir.
I've got the vaccine already.
I am not infected with COVID either. Come!
It's an old school vibe.
Uncle, you may sleep.
He's having a power nap.
How are you, guys?
This doesn't look like
our office, though, sir.
CSR.
Corporate social responsibility.
Normally, it's something the company
must do voluntarily on its own dime.
But because it's a good deed,
they tend to forget.
Hence, the Government issued
a reminder through the Act.
It's labeled responsibility,
but they all treat it as a routine duty.
-Hello! That's your place.
-Huh?
Sir, we can come up even though
we work here, can't we?
Forget about life,
try to come up in the lift, at least.
Madam demoted you because
of the stunt you pulled with the lift.
No access.
Digitalize all these files.
All the best!
Now do you understand
what the mask was for?
You are too young to call him "uncle. "
But he wouldn't take it well
if you call him "grandpa. "
It's the kind of job that's a pain
to look at and a bigger pain to finish.
This job also helps you stay fit.
Sir!
-Coffee or tea?
-Acidity!
Sir, Manjrekar sir!
Could you drop me home?
-Didn't your dad come today?
-I wouldn't have asked if he did, sir.
Oh, logic! Alright, hop on.
Dad! What are you doing here?
-I'd come for a ride. I'm going home now.
-Dad! Let's go home.
That...
Dad, he is our boss!
Sir, this is Manish...
HR.
-Dad, you sit here.
-Hey!
I am hungry.
Let's eat something first.
-No need. You come, Dad, sit.
-Hey!
How can you say no to Uncle?
He is asking with such affection.
Let's eat, uncle.
Panipuri?
Gosh! You don't even know how to eat,
son. Come here, let me feed you.
Uncle, pass me that file.
-It's okay, you eat.
-Bro! One plate masala puri.
-He really loves his son.
-Add some sweet.
-Hey! Look that way.
-I'm repulsed seeing their dresses.
Dad, I've got some work
at the office. I'll settle the bill.
-Hey!
-Hey.
Wait. You think you're all grown up now?
How much is it?
100, sir.
Okay then, shall we start?
Dad, I have some work at the office.
I'll finish that and come.
Can you go home?
It's very important, Dad.
What work? Whose work?
Sir! He has a lot of work at office
Foreign delegates are coming
and Johnny Walker is waiting
Enough, enough.
Shall I book an auto, Dad?
-Alright.
-Happy journey, uncle.
I have to slip away quietly,
like a cat sipping milk.
If he wakes up, he'll give me
some buttermilk and kill my buzz.
What happened, son?
Were you trying to sneak in silently
so that you don't wake me?
Alright. Go to bed.
-Son, would you like some buttermilk...
-No, thanks, Dad. Good night!
Ma'am, please.
Ma'am...
Ma'am!
I think there's been a miscommunication
between us right from the start.
Actually, I am a state topper, ma'am.
If I have done anything wrong,
I am really sorry, ma'am.
I've got an explanation
for everything, ma'am.
Just give me ten minutes
of your time, ma'am.
After that, you'll move me
to a different floor yourself, ma'am.
Ma'am!
Elevator pitch.
That thing you just tried
is called an elevator pitch.
Many have turned their lives around...
in the time it takes
the lift to reach the top.
They didn't try to win sympathy
with emotional stories like you did.
I'm not here to listen to your sob stories
and I have a company to run!
So, get down and get to work.
Yes! Ah, carry on, sir.
Rise Solutions.
A dream that started
in a small room 25 years ago,
is now standing before you
as a big company.
Today, we made it to the list
of Fortune 500 companies!
Excellent!
Sir, Abhi...
-Hello?
-Sir, I need to meet madam urgently.
Hey, you're out of lifelines.
Better be careful.
I'll definitely convince her this time!
Ma'am is in a meeting.
I'll let you know once she's done.
Winning isn't about starting big...
it's about finishing strong.
What greater moment than this...
to mark the end of my journey as CEO?
So... Yes, I've decided to retire,
and replace my position with young blood.
Not because she is my daughter...
Her efficiency and sincerity have
made me take her name for this position.
So, I proudly pronounce
Ms. Vijaya Soujanya...
as the next CEO of this company.
If you share
your opinion as the stakeholders...
-We can go forward.
-I approve!
-I approve!
-I approve!
-Thank you.
-I approve!
Well, she is your daughter, sir.
So, naturally...
She is the right choice!
I approve!
Ma'am, ma'am! I need to talk to you
about an important matter.
Just give ten minutes, ma'am.
Please ma'am!
I've reviewed all the CSR records, ma'am.
There's a major fraud happening
without your knowledge!
Ma'am, in a village called Vijayanagaram,
they've been doing the same work again
and again for ten years with our funds
and resubmitting the bills, ma'am!
The NGO we signed
a contract with is also unresponsive.
A visit to the village right now
would reveal the real situation.
-We shall leave tomorrow if you approve!
-Stop it!
Who the hell are you?
Can't you observe the hierarchy here?
Who gave you permission
to be on this floor?
You can talk about hierarchy
if I've done something wrong.
But how can you bring it up when
I'm reporting some wrongdoing?
Enough! I am done with you.
My first decision as the CEO
would be terminating your position.
And I'll make sure you won't get
a job anywhere. Now, get out!
Ma'am!
Thank you very much...
for giving me this
wonderful opportunity.
Hit me if I ever give you
the floor access again.
You might have no dependents,
but I have a family to look after.
Hit me with your slipper!
We can decide slipper or shoe later.
First, ask him why he thanked her.
Until now, my life had days and nights.
but never rage... or revenge.
The feeling of revenge...
and a chance to settle the score...
This is my first time.
What revenge, dude?
Tomorrow, when she takes over as CEO,
you'll be the first one out the door.
Of course I'll be the next on the line.
C...
E...
O?
Yes.
CEO.
But she has to become
the CEO first, Manjrekar sir.
Is there something
you want to talk to me about?
This company is the dream
your mother and I built for you.
You are going to be the CEO tomorrow.
As a father, my heart
is full of pride and joy.
Yet, somewhere inside,
there's a little fear.
Like when a little girl
takes her first steps,
and her father watches nervously,
afraid she might stumble and fall.
Anyway!
From tomorrow, six thousand people
will be looking up to you in every aspect.
Make sure
you don't look down on them.
Be it an intern... or a chairman.
My heartfelt regards
to all of you present here.
Thank you.
I would like to share
something with you all.
While you're all celebrating
the companys success,
I'm twice as happy.
One reason to celebrate
is our entry into the Fortune 500 list.
and the other is...
I proudly and confidently can say
that our next CEO is much stronger,
brighter and smarter than me.
I'd like to call Ms. Vijaya Soujanya,
to address you all
as the next CEO of Rise Solutions.
Excuse, me.
Ma'am. Two minutes, please.
Two minutes.
Sir, sir.
Before Ma'am takes the stage,
we have a little surprise planned.
With your permission?
-Sure!
-Pleasure is mine, sir.
For someone like us... a common employee
to become a C... E... O...
What does it truly take?
This impossible journey has been filled
with awards, rewards, and track records!
We've captured all of this in HD
and compiled into an AV for your viewing.
The lights will turn off when you clap.
Vijaya Soujanya is not just a name,
but a rising tech brand!
From Hyderabad to Harvard,
her journey speaks volumes.
Tireless, relentless, day and night,
she strives for her companys future
-Greetings! I am Adolf Hitler.
-This isn't my video, sir.
You feared me for being a dictator
-but your madam has outdone me.
-What's this?
-I can hear your cries, your devastation.
-Sir, sir! I don't understand this.
Hey! Stop it!
Stop the AV, please!
Stop the AV!
You filthy idiot!
Sir, someone use AI
and changed the AV.
-Go and stop it.
-Unplug it!
-Come on!
-Stop that!
I'm... I'm extremely
sorry for this mishap.
I will find out who is responsible...
and I'll make sure he or she
gets punished for this!
Yes.
-Hey! My son is in there.
-No.
-No, please leave!
-The office guys told me that he is here.
-Let me talk to him for a minute.
-No, please!
In the end, you proved it on your own.
Sir, it is raw...
Hey! Aren't you the one
who edited that video?
Yes! The edit was mine, but
the credit for playing it is yours!
-No, I'll escalate this to the chairman.
-Quit it, sir!
Deep down, you must be
really happy about it, too.
-Hey! What are you saying?-It's time to surprise madam!
The firework begins in a few minutes.
Oh, damn! I'm dead if fireworks go off.
-I'll just meet him for a minute.
-Do you have permission?
-Permission?
-Hey! Only a minute, man.
Then just leave!
-Go away!
-But my son is inside.
-Stop! Stop!
-It's only for a minute.
Let me go!
-Find out why he's here.
-My son's name is Abhi.
Just call him once.
-Mr. Abhi?
-Yes, that's me.
The Chairman wants to meet you.
Can you please come along?
Yeah. I'll be there.
Sir.
You wanted to see me?
-Abhinav.
-Sir!
What was that nuisance?
Nuisance?
Sir, you mean... what happened inside?
It was very wrong, sir!
Someone did it on purpose to target madam.
It was you, wasn't it?
Sir, what do you mean I did it?
After all, I'm just an intern.
Intern?
You told me a ten-minute story
the day you came to join as an intern.
Now, let me tell you
a small two-minute story.
Around 30 years ago, there was
a small village far from here.
There was an elderly man there,
named Kodandapani.
His wife was called Shyamala.
Does this sound familiar to you?
They both shared the same dream.
They nurtured that dream...
in his eyes and her womb...
They brought a baby girl into this world.
They hoped she would fulfill their dreams
and find success in her own life...
So they named her Vijaya (success).
They never imagined that...
After twenty years,
their daughter's downfall...
Would come at the hands of their own son!
You took down your own family.
Your sister!
A remote village and an ordinary man...
A story of a dream that lived on as hope.
During the drought, she fed the hungry
and gave them hope.
As a tribute, the village
was named after Vijayamma.
Devadurgam became Vijayanagaram.
VIJAYANAGARAM
Your father truly believed
that if his mother had lived,
she would've taken care of everything
the village ever needed.
When he had a daughter,
he felt like his mom had come back.
This isn't a name meant to be whispered;
it deserves to be said aloud.
The entire village must hear
the echo of her name!
Vi... ja... ya...
Why are you spending so much?
It's a girl. You'll have to
start saving from now on.
My mom ended this village's
hunger, Mother-in-law.
I will raise my daughter
with the same fire.
She'll ensure the village never suffers.
He stayed true to his promise.
He believed his daughter
would fulfill his mother's dream.
Did you really think you lost everyone
when you lost your mother?
You're selling your house and your farm?
I'd visit occasionally
when Mother was alive.
No idea when I'll be back again.
Bonds with your mom, kids, and village
not easy to leave behind.
Uncle, your mom
will be reborn as your daughter.
Dad told me.
Don't worry, okay?
That's when we first met Vijaya.
All the sorrow
of childlessness faded away.
Maybe God got jealous.
The child's lungs are badly infected.
Breathing will be hard unless
we drain the fluid surgically.
It might cost around
one or two lakhs. Be prepared.
He pledged his two acres of land
for the sake of his beloved daughter.
And managed to save her and his dream.
Dad, instead of traveling
so far every day,
If we had a school in our village...
all of us can learn and grow, Dad!
-What is your name?
-Vijaya.
Your name means victory, so whatever
you wish for will surely come true.
Okay, Dad.
Like father, like daughter!
The doctor told her
not to run or take any risks.
And you're happy she won a trophy!
Where's my daughter?
Where would she go when she's angry?
What your mom said
was for your own good, dear.
The doctor told you not to run, right?
How do I deal with it
when she's always scolding me?
I'm too scared to tell you at home.
Dear... if you have anything to tell me,
Write a letter and put it here.
I'll read it.
Let's keep this just between us, okay?
-Guess where we're going for vacation.
-Where to, Dad?
Did you like this town, dear?
-I really liked it, Uncle.
-Will you stay here?
Each time we met,
my love for her grew like selfishness.
God gives many chances for selfishness.
Then I became very successful.
Enough, Dad.
Slowly!
This is COPD... a chronic disease.
There's no cure.
We can try a procedure,
but the chances are slim.
She'll have to be on medication for life.
The situation got so bad,
he had to ask for help.
Honey, they're struggling
just to save her.
Ask if we can take care of her.
Hey! This isn't the right time.
Let's talk after the operation.
I've been watching you for two days.
It hurts to see you like this.
I can't help you with this.
But there's a solution.
-What about the balance?
-I'll give you the rest after the surgery.
All right.
Can I go home after the operation, Doctor?
I've given you the anesthesia. Relax.
The remaining amount...
The operation's over, right, sir?
Please give me
the rest of the amount, sir.
What are you saying?
First, see where you are.
Sir... Sir!
My child, sir...
She needs surgery, sir...
-I have to go, sir.
-Hey!
You'll sell a kidney
because things are hard?
Sir...
She's my daughter, sir.
She is my life!
If I don't go, her life
will be in danger, sir!
Please, let me go, sir.
-I beg you, sir.
-Call someone you know.
-Hey, Gopal?
-You misunderstood, Kodanda.
-What I meant is...
-Hey...
I couldn't be a good father.
Can you take care of my child?
I wanted to raise her right...
But now, I just want her to stay alive.
Why should I go?
I won't go!
Listen to me, dear.
Both Uncle and Aunty like you a lot.
Whenever possible...
You can come meet us.
Mom...
I'll complain to Dad
if you keep saying things like that.
Your dad told me this himself, dear.
Did I do something wrong, Dad?
You must yell at me
or even hit me if I've made a mistake.
Why are you sending me away?
Never say things like that, Dad.
I'll...
I'll stay with you only.
He knew his daughter wouldn't survive
if she stayed with him.
She'd never leave him
as long as she was alive.
He saw no other option... but to die.
He killed the father in himself.
Get lost!
Dad! Dad!
Go away!
-Hey! Kodanda!
-Why don't you understand?
If you say you'll come with me again,
I'll kill you!
Have you lost your mind?
You hit a little kid like that?
-Take her inside. I'll talk.
-Come in, dear. Come on.
She's a small child.
Why did you do that?
Sheis not a child...
She's a burden on my life.
I don't want her anymore.
Get lost!
Hey...
She's not just my daughter...
She's... my mother.
-She... loves me... very much.
-Hey.
Loves me... a lot!
Sit down, dear.
Look, don't cry.
For her to stop loving me...
I...
I must break her heart.
It must break.
We'll take good care of you.
Hey, Gopal...
She... your daughter from now on.
Save her life. Please.
Take her far away...
Take her out of my sight.
Or else...
I won't be able to bear it.
-Can't bear it!
-Kodanda. Kodanda.
Hey...
Don't worry about her.
I'll spare no expense to save her life.
I'll raise her just like you dreamed.
It'll be okay, dear.
Vijaya...
Dad!
Dad...
Dad!
Dad!
Dad! Dad...
Hey! You!
I gave you my mother's name,
you unlucky girl!
-Dad!
-Hey!
Can't you let me live in peace?
-Let me live!
-Dad!
Dad...
Can I tell you something, Abhi?
I'm not saying this
because he's my friend.
Your father... is a good human being.
But... he is a truly great father!
Abhi...
Have you eaten?
Want me to cook something?
My stomach... is full, Dad.
Go to sleep, son. It's already late.
Thanks a lot, Sir.
For twenty years, I didn't
understand my dad's love.
For the first time...
You made me realize his worth
and the value of his love.
But I have a doubt, Sir.
You told me this, even though
I showed up after all these years.
Why didn't you tell my sister,
who was with you all these years?
She was only six when I first saw her.
I saw my daughter in her.
So... when I got the chance,
I brought her with me selfishly.
But... even after 25 years...
She still doesn't see me as a father.
Your selfishness is a kind of love
that doesn't want to lose her, sir.
But my father's sacrifice...
was a love strong enough to let her go.
Though my sister grew up
surrounded by so much love
So why does love feel so distant to her?
She can't put her pain into words.
Those last words
are enough to make her cry.
Ever since that day, she's carried pain
in her heart and tears in her eyes.
She's still stuck in that moment.
At 60, life should be about cherishing
beautiful memories and living in peace...
But you're still weighed down
by the pain of the past, sir.
You and my dad didn't just wish
for a good life for my sister, sir.
It's something extraordinary.
Your dream... it must come true. It must!
That truth should never be forgotten.
It must be remembered forever. Forever!
What's happening, Vijaya?
That video disaster
at such a huge event yesterday!
And today, we find
a scam in the CSR fund.
Ignoring the intern who tried
to report it was a huge mistake.
You see...
The company has nothing to do
with your personal emotions.
We have thousands of employees.
This directly impacts
our company's reputation.
Take the interns you've been ignoring
to Vijayanagaram.
As soon as possible,
I want you to put your foot down
and sort out this problem immediately.
Until then, no questions asked,
no questions answered!
You may leave.
Dad, I know how much it hurts
when we lose something we love.
But you always hid it behind a smile.
You wanted my sister
to change the village.
She'll change...
And so will the village.
-What's the name of our village?
-Vijayanagaram.
Did you know that's my mom's name?
-No, that's actually my name!
-Really?
If the village bears your name,
isn't it your duty to care for it?
Could you tell us
the address of the community office, sir?
You look like you've come
a long way... and tired.
Would you like something to drink?
How sweet.
Tell me now, Sir.
Salt Soda.
They also look like they've come
a long way... and tired.
Would they like something to drink, too?
What a hospitality!
Sure.
Give me the balance,
and tell me the address.
You have to pay me
three hundred bucks.
He's not a poor guy.
He makes others poor!
-In a way, he's an entrepreneur.
-My foot!
Here.
What should I give you
for the remaining two hundred rupees?
No need. Put it on your credit.
Just give me the address.
Goodness! Ma'am got here before us!
Sorry, ma'am.
The office setup should be done
by this afternoon.
It'll be done, Ma'am.
Guys, no fresh-up, only setup!
Could you tell me
what your problems are, sir?
Villages are the backbone of our country.
The most beautiful things
here are buffalo and it's dung.
-Hey
-Kamala...
Ma'am asked you to list the problems in
every house. Why are you still here?
Not sure what happened.
-I lost all the photos.
-I'm talking to you!
How could you have lost them?
Going door to door will only get us
household issues, Manjrekar sir.
If we need to know the village's problems,
we must go to a village town hall meeting.
Look over there.
It holds all the memories of my grandson
since childhood! Please help, dear.
What have you done, Granny?
It's not working.
-Oh no!
-Everything's deleted.
Don't get stressed. Come, sit down.
Can I take a look at that?
-No worries, sir. There's a backup.
-Just restore it.
-Will it come back?
-It will, in half an hour.
You're glowing with a fair-skin.
Why are you standing in the sun?
What's your name?
Grandma, it's time.
Time for your medicines.
Come fast.
Wait, I'm coming.
She's my granddaughter.
She's well-educated.
If she finds work,
she'll be just like you.
She stays at home and drives me crazy.
There's no way forward.
Turn the vehicle around.
There's nothing except
an abandoned house and a lake.
So many people visit the village,
but no one cares.
Look at this photo.
See how beautiful my grandson's smile is.
Thank you, dear.
It's nothing, ma'am.
What do you mean by "nothing, " son?
A few days ago, someone borrowed
my phone to make a call.
He kept his phone on top, and I lost
all the money in my account.
How can money vanish into thin air?
Do I hold on to this phone
or get rid of it?
-It's a completely confusing situation.
-Yeah.
This is no big deal, sir.
Once you learn, it's really easy.
It took 30 years for a radio
to reach this village.
It then took 15 years
for the TV to arrive here.
The bank opened recently too.
They say all of these
are inside this phone.
How can you ask us to start from scratch?
How do I even explain this?
-Sir, how do you grow crops?
-That's easy, son.
Wet the land, sow the seeds, water them,
Spray manure, and then
harvest. That's all.
You said it in just three steps?
Back home, they teach this for three years
under the name B. Sc. in Agriculture.
We can teach anything to anyone.
We just need the right teaching method.
-Who dares stop us?
-Brother-in-law.
-Her?
-Yes, brother-in-law.
You don't know me, right?
My name is Vitalachary.
These people have trusted me
and elected me,
to take care of their well-being.
I am the Panchayat President.
Greetings.
She's from the city, right?
-She might not know our culture.
-Yeah, brother-in-law.
Coming straight to the point.
Only God may grant a boon,
and only the priest may give the prasadam.
There's nothing wrong with someone
like you wanting to do good for others.
It's people like us
who are meant to keep it going.
If you continue acting as you wish...
-Hey...
-Brother-in-law.
Why are you eavesdropping
while the elders talk?
Sorry.
Your father doesn't own this village!
Are you done?
You don't need to instruct me
on what to do or how to do it.
Now shut up... and leave.
Good.
Why did you spare her brother-in-law?
You were so polite, and she
rudely threatened you with the law!
-It's not right!
-See... ?
When their intentions are wrong,
will they listen to our advice?
These aren't good times.
The neighboring village
just put up a mobile tower.
What happened?
A person died of a rare, unknown cancer.
Did you hear that?
Now they want to lay wires
in our agricultural land.
Who knows what else we'll have to face?
I tried to tell them in every way,
but they aren't listening.
It's between you and them now.
Do as you please.
Understand that we need to protect
ourselves, no one will save us!
Do people still use this vehicle
these days, Grandpa?
I've never seen you before.
Are you new here?
Something like that.
Once upon a time...
From NTR to Chiranjeevi,
everyone's cutout was on this vehicle.
In those days, if I called,
the entire village would follow me.
You mean your call would assemble
the entire village, Grandpa?
Of course!
Come one, come all!
Don't miss this, today only!
It speaks, but it's not human.
It'll make you laugh, leave you amazed,
and put you in a trance.
A machine like no other,
ready to answer your questions!
Catch it live at our community hall
very soon.
Come one, come all!
It's been a long time since we heard
your voice, Venkatesha.
We'll discuss my voice later.
The show's begun. Go!
Who's this young man?
Haven't seen him before.
What's this?
After this morning's skirmish,
why did they call everyone back again?
So they called.
Why did you come so eagerly?
I came to check out what it was about.
Sridevi.
Don't you have any basic manners?
The whole village
has shown up to talk to you.
You don't even greet them.
I'm sorry.
Greetings, everyone.
What is this? It's talking.
She is speaking to you so lovingly.
Shouldn't you respond?
Yes, Grandpa!
Ask her something.
You have such a youthful voice.
How old are you?
You shouldn't ask a woman's age.
Come on, grandpa.
Sridevi is always 16!
Grandpa... Grandpa... Grandpa.
You ask such naughty questions.
Ma'am, why don't you ask something?
What can I ask, son? Except
"Do you know how to cook?"
Then ask it, then!
Sridevi!
-Can you show me a recipe?
-Sure.
Let's see how to make
aromatic stuffed brinjal curry!
Begin by rinsing the brinjals
and slicing them into four pieces.
I'm using white brinjals.
We've been married for six years.
Have you ever cooked like this?
Add one teaspoon of chilli powder.
Why are they getting
so emotionally connected?
-Isn't that why we brought it?
-Then we'll have to stay here.
Don't behave like a punk.
Now roast the peanuts, grated coconut,
and sesame seeds
What else can it do?
It'll answer your questions.
If you're bored,
it'll screen a movie or sing for you.
It can predict rain a week in advance.
It'll tell you when to harvest
a month in advance!
Most importantly...
It will respond lovingly
every time you call.
It will never show irritation like we do.
Sir...
My husband is a movie fanatic.
This brings back memories.
Can you make it play a classic song?
Why ask me? Ask it yourself.
-Me?
-Go ahead, ask.
-Sridevi. -Tell me.
Play a classic song.
[old Telugu song playing. ]
I can't see the video.
What's wrong?
-Hey, stop! As if you know how to fix it.
-What happened, sir?
Do you think I'm an electrician
or an engineer?
-You look into it. I'm your senior!
-I told you.
How long is it going to take?
-How long will it take?
-Just ten minutes, sir.
Just ten minutes.
Uh-oh, now he's going to
start telling his story.
Ma'am, Sridevi will need another
ten minutes. Please have a seat.
How about I tell you a story
and keep you hooked for ten minutes?
Okay? Okay.
I was born when my father
was about 45 years old.
Which means, sir, about your age.
He never understood what I wanted.
And I didn't know
how to make him understand.
I thought it was just a generational gap.
But I understood something
after I came to this village.
This issue isn't mine alone.
If you've noticed,
your children shared
everything with you when they were kids.
But as they grew up,
"Are you well? Did you eat?
Take care of your health. "
Now, they only say three things to you.
Some unknown gap has formed between us.
It's not just an age gap.
This gap comes from not being able
to connect with their way of thinking.
A gap that widens when you stop learning.
It's a gap between their leaping,
rabbit-like thoughts...
And your slow, turtle-paced thoughts.
But the turtle wins the race in the end.
This is an L. K. G. story!
That's only when
the rabbit sleeps, Manjrekar sir.
In reality, everyone is always busy,
running toward something or the other.
We can just do a few small things
in the name of development, then leave.
The world's become so small now.
As small as the cellphone
that fits in the palm of your hand.
It won't be enough if you use it
for passing time or making calls.
Use it to change your life...
to get closer to the world.
If you use it well to teach what you know,
or learn what you don't...
Even a turtle would run like a hare.
Resuming...
It switched on!
It's a miracle.
You could become an electrician.
Hey! Stop! Stop!
What did you tell us then,
and what are you showing us now?
Look, boy.
Our village will benefit from this.
-Sit silently and watch.
-Just sit!
Sit down.
-Sit!
-Hey, sit down.
Within ten minutes, the response
is like that of a pan-India blockbuster!
This village will now
be connected to the world!
This village is on board!
Submit Aadhaar update, PAN
Manish, chill! Watch the video.
Dear.
What's done is done.
We'll make sure it won't happen again.
Being villagers,
we acted without thinking.
Don't feel bad about
what happened yesterday.
Come here. Come.
The boy told us everything yesterday.
We understand it all now.
The whole village thinks like me.
See? The whole village has shown up.
What's past is past, dear.
Please go ahead with the service
you intended to perform for us.
All these days, you worked
like you were part of this village.
From now on, we count you as one of us.
Continue as you'd planned.
"Update, update, update!
You've got to keep evolving"
"Every moment, everywhere
You've got to stay updated"
"Update, update, update!
You've got to keep evolving"
" Let the whole world
Follow in your footsteps "
"Just flipping the date on the calendar
Means nothing"
I'll kill you if you ask for change again.
This is digital India!
"You've got to keep changing yourself
Day by day "
"There's no age limit
When it comes to learning"
"To rise, you must be your own ladder"
Nilam, brother, where's Dad?
Went for nature cure. Why?
Nothing. I just called to talk.
-Phone's not allowed there.
-Is that so?
"Update, update, update
You've got to keep evolving"
"Let the whole world
Follow in your footsteps"
Ugh!
Do you know how humiliating it was?
I feel like the village is
slipping from our control.
If people who do what we say...
get used to learning by asking...
What would happen to the ruler?
-Isn't it wrong?
-Yes, wrong.
-We must rectify the errors.
-Brother-in-law, ladies.
Do it carefully.
-Ladies, right?
-Yes.
Let's just scare them.
Do you have a matchbox?
Don't turn back, sir.
If you turn around and learn that a kid
warned you, you will feel bad.
You better listen to what is told.
No matter what, this village's future
will change from tomorrow.
Be the audience. Just clap and walk away.
If you try to play the lead
despite my warning...
My heart will break.
And your bones might follow.
I forgot my character because of my anger.
I'm issuing a warning
for the first time in my life.
For giving me such a beautiful memory...
Thank you very...
How do you stand this smoke, sir? Ugh!
Stop it.
Smoking is injurious to health!
Quit it.
-This doesn't seem possible. -What happened now?
Sir, the village is behind him.
I used all my might.
I couldn't get it done.
Use your brains, sir. You may succeed.
Ma'am!
The interns are all leaving, ma'am.
-Hey, hey! Please listen to me, don't go!
-Sorry, dude.
Hey, at least you guys stay. Please.
-Please, Manasa. Listen to me.
-Please.
I can't afford to reject this offer, Abhi.
-Hey, hey! Please stop!
-Sorry!
-Hey, at least hear me out.
-It's a good offer, dude.
I don't understand, Ma'am. Everyone
got offer letters at the same time.
I request you to
understand me, please.
Ma'am, just tell them once.
And they'll stay back.
No need.
When someone's made up
their mind to leave,
there's no point in holding them back.
Dad! Dad!
-Go!
-Dad!
Dad...
-Madam!
-Sit.
Sit down.
It's okay. You can answer.
Abhi.
They don't allow phones here.
I want to call you, but I keep forgetting.
You forgot?
I've never heard you say that.
What is it, son?
You sound different.
-Is everything okay?
-Just a small problem.
The ones who came with us
abandoned us midway.
I feel bad for ma'am.
Will you convey a message to her?
She is right beside me, Dad.
It's Dad, ma'am.
Dad.
Listen, dear. What they call luck
ends the moment trouble begins.
Once you get past the hurdle,
it is called competence.
Even when strength fades,
we must hold on to courage.
My son Abhi...
Will stand by you as a brother.
Stay strong.
When you're driven by a good deed,
what you truly wish for will come true.
Grandma.
Dear, come.
Come. Please sit.
-Saroja, get her something to drink.
-Yeah? Okay.
I will get milk.
Would you like to have some tea, dear?
I'll be right back.
Sister!
What happened?
-Exam time?
-Yes, sister.
-Are you afraid?
-No, sister.
I was hoping you'd wish me luck.
I wonder if she lit the stove.
-Hey grandma. What's the rush?
-Careful.
-Come and sit.
-I have to make tea.
Oh God. What is your problem?
They are having a conversation
inside the house.
Listen to what they are saying inside.
Don't you like to work?
How can I leave my grandmother
here by herself and go find work, madam?
If I get you a job
in this village, will you do it?
I don't know if I am qualified
for what you are doing.
But I will certainly show up
and do my best!
-Yes!
-High-Five!
-Hey grandma, what happened?
-What was that?
Generation gap.
It's a trend to do this when you're happy.
I don't know all that.
For me, this is a trend.
Cute grandma.
Dear.
What is it, grandma?
Don't look at me. Look over there.
"Don't just ask questions
Update your answers"
-"Don't just talk"
-But how?
-"Update your actions"
-Like this!
"It's not your name"

Grandma.
-Forgot the trend? Give me a high-five.
-That's the spirit!
"Update the way
You understand yourself"
"Update your fatigue
And your victories too"
"You must keep updating"
"Update, update, update

"Every moment, everywhere
You've got to stay updated"
"Update, update, update
You've got to keep evolving"
"Let the whole world

I brought up my kids with my stories.
Today, the entire world
listens to my stories.
From Northeast. Northeast. Northeast.
Why are you spinning like a top?
I am conducting a housewarming
ceremony on Zoom.
-At this hour?
-It's morning in America.
"Not just the paths
Update your every step"
Hey!
I'm working here.
Silence!
"Update your dreams"
" Not just pain
Update it into celebration"
"Not just the sorrow
Update the bond itself"
"Not just your past, not just your future
Can't you update yourself today?"
We're in your village and cooking!
Say one more, and keep eating!
Our work here is almost done.
Why don't we head back home?
Don't we need professionals
to lead these people?
We can't set up
an IT company for their sake.
-Dont tell me...
-Feeder offices.
Just like branch offices
support a main company,
feeder offices for IT companies
are set up at the district level.
Hereafter, you can work
in software, right from your hometown.
"Update, update, update
You've got to keep evolving"
"Every moment, everywhere
You've got to stay updated"
Our people usually move to big cities
in search of jobs.
But today, people from those cities
are coming here looking for jobs.
This is a proud moment for us!
For the first time in this country,
in a rural village...
a software office, Roots
is setting up shop from tomorrow.
The names Vijayanagaram
and Vijaya Soujanya,
The function's all set, Ma'am.
will inspire generations!
We didn't plan an AV this time.
-Just announce it with your voice.
-Abhi...
The one who told
the chairman about CSR fraud,
and brought us to this village...
it was you, wasn't it, Abhi?
Ma'am, I first told you about it.
But you got angry with me.
That's why...
I couldn't find another way.
I'm angry at this village, Abhi.
That's why... I reacted that way.
But...
After coming here, I understood...
I wasn't angry with the village...
But with an individual.
Thank you, Abhi...
For giving me back my hometown.
What's the point of being angry, Ma'am?
It's just a temporary thing.
Until recently, you were angry
with me, too. It's gone today.
Similarly, you may lose
your anger towards that person, too.
You shouldn't give me
any credit in this regard.
Give it to your dad.
In this world, anger is usually
rooted in more anger, ma'am.
I'll kill you!
But a parent's anger...
comes from love.
When the village bears your name,
isn't it your duty to care for it?
They are holding a function
tomorrow, sir. A big function.
Sir!
Our efforts so far haven't gone to waste.
They were ruined... by a boy.
If that boy supports madam tomorrow,
All our efforts will be in vain, sir.
Look, it's for sure.
Why are you telling me the problem
when you have the solution, Chary?
The problem exists
only if he exists, right, Chary?
It's fixed, then.
Here, take it.
Why such a big celebration
for a small thing?
A villager's love is always like that.
It's purely magical.
Just a bit of help,
and they'll cherish us lifelong.
Who is that lady?
She's the latest viral sensation!
For making this village viral!
A special viral song for us Enjoy!
What are you saying, sir?
You're calling this a special song?
It's the first time in my life, sir.
-It will only be special if it's my girl.
-What are you saying?
Wait and watch.
The song is yours.
But the dance is mine.
"My Instagram following "
"See, it's mind blowing!"
"My followers call me their darling
Everything I do ends up trending"
"If I post something
It's super tempting"
"What's she dropping?"

Is that how your reach grew?"
"A fancy pearly tattoo
Brought me all these crazy views"
"Did you cook new recipes
To become an overnight star?"
"I lit a fire in the youthful hearts
And became the talk of the town!"
" A few dances moves "
"The local masses praised
Those crazy grooves"
"I just stretched
And they called it a total frenzy!"

Ever mess with your mood?"
"I told myself
"It's common!" and kept my cool! "
"Even if we tried
Our craze for you won't fade"
"Can't call it wrong
The craving's carved in fate! "
"Whatever I try to hide "
"Your eyes seek only one thing!"
"That's why even when I say no
They light me up and make me glow!"
"What did they do?"
"Viral! "
"I'm the viral beauty"
"I'm the bomb The youth's heartthrob!"
Abhi!
Hello? Neelam, bro, tell me.
-What's happening?
-Abhi!
Dad asked me to come to the hospital.
They've been conducting
various tests since this morning.
He handed me the prescription
and said he wanted to go home.
By the time I got the meds,
he was nowhere to be found.
What are you talking about?
He might've gone home.
I'm not trying to worry you.
He has been hospitalized
for the past 20 days.
He has been acting weird.
I don't know what to do.
Abhi, wherever you are, please come
to the hospital right away.
-Which hospital, Brother?
-Sanjeevini Hospital.
Put doctor on the line.
Doctor! Doctor!
The patient's son
wants to talk to you, please.
Please.
Doctor, what happened to him?
It's Alzheimer's.
He was diagnosed six months ago.
His condition isn't very good.
So I told him not to come alone.
He didn't listen to me.
The memory of patients with Alzheimer's
disease declines day by day.
As the days pass by, they will forget
who they are, where they are,
and what they're up to.
Kodandapani.
Kodandapani.
Are you Kodandapani?
Please, come.
I came out. Now how do I go home...
I want to call you, but I keep forgetting.
Life's too short to spend it apart from
you. That's why I came here, son.
Your dream for my sister...
It's come true, Dad.
Dad?
Dad!
Let's go, Dad.
[chanting prayers]
Paidipala...
Kodandapani...
Shyamala...
Why didn't you tell me, Dad?
Didn't you feel like telling me
you were sick?
Dad, I'm talking to you!
Dad!
Dad!
The bus should stop only at the hospital.
I won't let anyone get close!
Look, dear.
If you want to tell me anything...
Come here, write it, and keep it in this.
I'll read it.
This should stay just between us. Got it?
Vijaya.
The fear of losing you
made me act that way.
As your daughter, I know
you can never forgive me.
But aren't you my mother too?
Please, forgive me, dear.
Forgive me...
Abhi...
Vijaya...
Dad...
What happened, Abhi?
I wanted my dad
to see my sister again, sir.
But does he even remember her now?
I don't know.
Dad?
V... Vijaya...
Dad, will you leave me and go?
Will you leave me again?
Vijaya?
Where would I go, dear?
Where would I go without you?
Thanks.
Vijaya...
I don't know who he is...
But he's the one who admitted
your father to the hospital.
"The song that once lulled him to sleep"
"Now questions the soul It vowed to keep "
"Though love was shared
The bond now sighs"
"What is your nam? It softly cries"
"Is it a loss I must defend
Or victory in the bitter end?"
Abhi!
Ma'am...
Go ahead, ma'am.
"Have tears been given voice and name"
"To whisper who they are through pain?"
"Can a smile, with gleaming eyes"
"Point the path where meaning lies?"
Did he recognize?"With wonder, it entwined the two"
"Then played its games as time would do"
"Has no light been left behind"
"To stop the darkness
that grips the mind"
"Has no new dawn been sent our way"
"To take this aching grief away"
" If every moment pulls us down"
"Can one still stand without a frown?"
I wished to meet you many a times.
I didn't expect our first meet
would be like this.
Actually, you were the one who
was supposed to take that blow.
It missed and your dad took that.
I'm sorry.
Life is always fair to the unfair.
What are you talking about?
I don't know, Sir.
But... every word you utter...
It hits me hard.
For the first time in my life,
I'm feeling...
Pain... and happiness.
At once, Sir.
On one hand, I'm happy,
that my sister, who was away from us
for 21 years, will now have a brother...
And on the other hand, I feel sad,
that the dad who raised me
might not even remember me.
Should I be happy
when my sister calls me "Abhi"?
Or should I feel bad,
that my dad might
start calling me 'Mr. Abhi'?
I'm not sure, sir.
I never deserved his love, sir.
But he kept loving me.
There's no greater love than...
the one that expects no praise
or recognition, sir.
But...
Why should I cry, sir?
As a father, he loved me
enough for a lifetime.
As his son, it's my turn now.
Whether he remembers me or not,
I'll still return his love a hundredfold.
I will!
Hello, Abhi. Is everything okay?
I'll return in two days. Take care.
Okay, sis.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
-Are you looking for this?
-Yes, that's it, sir.
Abhi?
This...
Isn't this yours?
I forgot, sir.
Sorry.
Who's in the photo, sir?
My daughter.
Daughter.
Super, Sir.
