Kaarottiyin Kaadhali (2022) Movie Script

Let all your thoughts be noble,
because even if you fail...
...your glory will not fade.
Sugarcane juice, one.
Shenbagam, I've bought
all the things you asked for.
Do you need anything else?
- Mom wanted some betel.
Get that too.
- Okay.
Hey, look, this game is great.
- Nanda, look at them...
...we got them the phone for their studies.
But they are playing games with it.
Mom, how can we study
when the screen is so small?
You have a big mouth.
- Shoot!
Dad is back!
- Is dad back?
Dad is back, come on.
Dad is back!
- Dad!
Here, this is for you.
- What's in here, dad?
Dad, what's in here?
- Biscuits.
Come on, let's go in.
Careful.
Don't fight.
Mom, look at this.
- Go and eat.
I'm going to eat.
- Hey, get down.
Kids, dad is coming home after two weeks.
Eat without disturbing him.
- Okay, mom.
Don't touch.
- Give me some.
I bought enough for all of you,
eat, don't fight.
Okay, dad.
- I'll give you some, give me that.
You didn't give me any biscuits,
so I'll have the chocolate.
Has your boss left?
- Yes, I sent him to the airport...
...this morning. He would have
reached Singapore by now.
Why has he given so much money?
He is indeed a kind man.
No matter how much he gives us,
we are still stuck in a rut.
22, 23, 24, 25, 26...
...27, 28, 29, 30...
There is 30,000 in here.
I have to take mom to the hospital tomorrow.
I don't know how much the bill
is going to come up to.
We have not paid the workers either.
Dad, where did you go for 15 days?
- Tell me, dad.
I'll tell you.
On the first day,
my boss, his wife and kids...
...went to this up-market restaurant.
Look how big it is.
- It looks great.
They ate here.
Then they went to this mall.
It's a huge mall.
They went there with the kids.
Look here, the kids went
to this game centre to play.
Then we went to the beach.
Look here.
Beach! Great.
- They played on the beach.
They kids played on the sand.
Then they had ice cream...
...mango, coconut, nuts and fish.
Can't we go there, dad?
Sure, we can go.
- When will you take us there?
You go with your boss to all the places.
Dad, when will you take us there?
Dad, won't you take us there?
- All of us will go there soon.
I'll take you there.
- Okay, dad.
Won't you keep quiet?
How many times have I told you not
to tell our kids where you went?
It's nothing, don't worry.
- We don't even have enough...
...to have tea very soon.
Our situation is that bad.
And you want to take them to Chennai.
Come on, let's eat and sleep.
Turn around.
Shenbagam, your husband
is supposed to plough the land...
...but he thinks he's driving a car.
Right, he is so used to driving a car.
That is the problem.
Enough of driving,
come and eat.
I tattooed my husband's name...
If my husband is right,
I'd be a queen...
You need not borrow...
My dear Shenbagam...
You came to plough,
but you think you're driving a car...
I brought dried fish and porridge...
My dear Shenbagam...
She brought porridge...
Those bulls look new.
When did you get them?
They are not mine.
They belong to Muthukalai.
They were not being utilised for anything.
So, I brought them to plough the land.
You started work
at your house a long time ago.
It is still not completed.
Your kids are growing.
I'm sure the present house is too cramped.
Get it done fast.
I applied for the free house scheme
introduced by the government.
The scheme was worth 175,000.
I had to bribe to get it.
Finally, I only received
slightly more than 100,000.
I can't even build the foundation with it.
My boss sends me money from time to time.
So, I make ends meet.
- No bad, your boss gives you money.
With the present cost of living,
only God can help...
...someone like me build a house.
What? God? You sell your vote
for 500 or 1000.
How will you get help?
Just go! Let's go, brother.
- Only what is fated will happen.
Shenbagam, your husband is a driver.
Make sure he doesn't look
for another woman.
Keep an eye on him.
- He may marry the car...
...but he will not look at other women.
I know about my husband.
How about you?
Your husband is a mason,
am I right?
He may look for someone else.
Be careful.
My husband won't even let me cook.
- Oh, my!
Your husband has a flower shop,
am I right?
He may give free flowers
to a lady and win her heart.
Keep an eye on him.
- Keep quiet!
My husband brings home
all the unsold flowers...
...he puts them on my hair and mat.
He stays up all night...
...my body hurts.
- Look what she is saying.
Brother, one cup of tea.
- Come, Chandra. How are you?
I'm good.
- Samy tried calling you.
But he couldn't reach you.
He called me.
Someone needs a driver for 4 days.
Are you interested?
- No, my boss will be back...
...from Singapore in another 20 days.
So, I can't drive for someone else.
Mom!
- Mom!
What can we eat?
- We're hungry.
I just told Nanda to set the fire.
Water is boiling.
I'm grinding chili.
How can you be hungry so fast?
Everyone cooks with a gas stove.
Why do we still cook with firewood?
When can we have a gas stove?
- Some get gas within 6 days.
Some will have to wait for more than 6 months.
Some will have to wait for 6 years.
What can we do?
You will not understand.
Are you very hungry?
- Yes.
Wait.
Wait here.
Move.
I'll give you some mixture.
Here you go.
Enough. The fire is too low.
- Let's eat over there.
Did you bring porridge for lunch?
- Yes, I did.
She did not have anything this morning.
What to do?
I was late, so I could not eat.
Did you bring pickles?
- Yes, I did.
I have to harvest nuts.
It looks like it may rain.
We are going to work nearby
for the 100 days Scheme.
Please help me or it will go to waste.
Please help me.
Please come.
It's time to harvest...
No one came to harvest...
What is this, dear...
This is my heaven...
My granddaughte wants a pair of anklets...
She wants a pair of gold anklets...
She wants a pair...
If the nuts rot in the ground...
If the nuts rot in the ground...
Where will I go for support...
Where will I go for support...
The cow has given birth...
It is waiting to be fed...
The cow is waiting...
If the nuts rot in the ground...
Where will I go for support...
Where will I go for support...
What is this, dear...
This is my heaven...
This is my heaven...
Uncle, I looked all over for you.
You said you would help us harvest today.
What are you doing here?
- I forgot to tell you, Chandra.
In the 100 days scheme,
it's our shift today.
We couldn't come for the harvest.
- How could you?
I thought you would help,
I even filled the buns with water.
How could you come here to work?
- If we do not turn up today...
...we won't get paid this week.
- At least, you could have come.
Chandra, your boss pays you every two months.
We are depending on this income.
- I'm not saying...
...this scheme is bad.
When small farmers like us farm...
...they should employ us
and pay a bit more.
We can farm and they can get workers.
Okay, I understand. But who
is going to tell the government?
With the liquor shop open,
half the men are always drunk.
And you guys are sitting under
the tree for the 100 days scheme.
I wonder what they are up to.
Can you come tomorrow?
We'll be there.
- Can you come today?
I'll be there.
Geetha, get me some water.
Geetha, get me some water.
You eat well and look after the car well.
But you forgot it's her birthday.
Geetha!
Geetha Baby, I was busy.
I forgot about your birthday.
Can you smile, my baby?
Happy birthday, my darling.
Look at her smile.
- She's my daughter.
Come, pick everything up.
Hello!
- Hello!
How are you?
- I'm good. How are you?
I'm good.
- Have you eaten?
Yes, I have.
- What did you eat?
Chicken curry.
- Really? We had chicken...
...fish and everything else.
What do you think about your father?
He's a waste.
- Dad, come here.
What is it?
- He says you're a waste.
Is that why you called me?
- No, dad, let's take a selfie.
Okay, sure.
Shenbagam, I'm going to the shop
to buy medicine for my mother.
I'll kill you if you call my father a waste.
Move, sit over there.
Go on.
Okay, go on.
Hey, I want you to eat.
Sir?
- Give me this medicine.
Okay, wait for five minutes.
Hey, Chandra!
- It had been ages since we met.
I heard you're doing business in another town.
What are you doing here?
- Dad is not well...
...he is admitted.
So, I came immediately.
How is he now?
- He's much better.
What are you doing here?
- I came to buy medicine.
I come here often.
- Sir, your change.
Here's your file.
- How is everyone at home?
Everyone is fine.
- Fine, I hope.
How are your kids?
- They are fine.
Okay, sit over there.
I'll pass this to them.
My father's name is Muthu.
If the nurse calls me...
...let me know, I'll wait here.
- Okay, sir.
So, tell me.
Kumar, what business are you doing?
My friend and I have opened
a small bakery in Mumbai.
I was busy with the bakery.
- I'm so happy for you.
You used to call before,
but now you don't.
That's not true.
After I changed my phone...
...I lost all my contacts.
Or, I would have called.
How come everyone tells the same lie?
You forget your friends back home
when you go out to work.
It's okay, forget it.
- Fine, what are you doing?
Are you still driving for the man
who goes to Singapore often?
Yes, I'm driving for him.
But...
What's the problem?
There is no problem.
My wife and mother...
...feel I should drive for others
when my boss is away.
They keep scolding me.
That's the problem.
What they are saying is true.
You can drive for others...
...when your boss is away.
- Kumar, am I a fool?
Before I became his driver,
for 10 years...
...I worked for others.
I'm sure you're aware of that.
The torture and embarrassment
I went through is just too much.
Over here, drivers are treated worse than dogs.
We are not treated like humans at all.
Fine, we work and they pay us.
I'm not denying that.
Can't they treat us like human?
We have a heart too.
All I'm asking is for them to understand us.
Chandra, what you say is true.
People were like that before.
But now, people have changed.
No one has changed, Kumar.
I'm not talking about drivers alone.
We do not treat anyone below us humanely.
You would understand only if you experience it.
I understand your feelings.
But this problem is rampant.
What can we do?
People change when they have money.
Today, it's me.
Tomorrow, it may be you.
Money can buy anything.
Did they say this for fun?
Money can buy anything.
It can make us arrogant too.
But my boss doesn't do any of this.
I've been driving for him...
...for the past 7 years, Kumar.
I'm not his driver
only for the money he pays me.
What else is it then?
I went to work for him as I went elsewhere.
But the way he treated me
the way he saw and spoke to me...
...he made me sit next to him
when we went out to eat...
...it wasn't the same elsewhere.
I only got it from him.
He trusts me so much, Kumar.
I haven't met a man like him anywhere else.
What else can I do for him
if not looking after his car?
I look at the car as my boss.
That is why I love the car.
I must only drive this car.
The hands that drive this car
should not drive any other cars.
My heart says so.
I don't know if this is loyalty or madness...
...but I like being this way.
I have a family to support
and it's hard to make ends meet.
But, can't I be myself?
Just because I'm poor,
can't I have respect?
Chandra, you are being very genuine.
I didn't know you felt this way.
I'm very proud of you.
I feel I should also treat my workers well.
Right.
- Patient Muthu.
The doctor wants to see you now.
- Coming.
I think my father is conscious.
- Let's go and see him.
Dad is back!
- Dad!
What is that, dad?
- What is it?
Give it to me.
- Hey, wait! It's not for you.
Let us see.
- It's Geetha's birthday.
Let us see.
- Geetha darling!
Dad is back.
Check what is inside.
- Look, dad got you something.
It's a cake.
Don't rub it on my face.
This is fun!
Like a flame in the wind,
I see our relationship...
Like the blue sky,
vivid in my mind...
Though I'm poor, your presence
is like a kolam at my doorstep...
You're a seed that blooms
despite being thorny...
You remain in memory...
You take my breath away...
Like a flame in the wind,
I see our relationship...
Like the blue sky,
vivid in my mind...
Through soaked in the mist...
You remain dry...
A paper flower that smells good...
It's not a sin to live that way...
A stone statue becomes God...
Earth rotates due to love...
I will not cast aside your love...
I will stay inside you and enjoy the stars...
The vapour in summer and fire...
My life goes on...
When ash is used on the forehead...
It becomes a prayer...
When borders are crossed,
we reach our destination...
You find dew even on a blade of grass...
Won't I see elusive paintings
in this lifetime...
Won't I find a new family...
Like a flame in the wind,
I see our relationship...
Like the blue sky,
vivid in my mind...
Look at this man!
Honey!
Why are you sleeping in the sun?
I have no money to buy provisions.
I need to pay for the ragbag.
Can you ask your boss for some money?
He is giving money for everything.
He even sent money
to buy things for the house.
I spent it on my brother's medical bill.
I don't like asking him
for money all the time.
How can you say that?
Why don't you ask him?
Dad, your boss is calling from Singapore.
Yes, sir?
- I'll be there on Friday morning.
Bring the car to the airport.
- Sure, sir.
Okay, great.
What is it?
- He'll be back in 2 days.
He told me to come to the airport.
- Look at your father...
...he's so happy
because his boss is coming back.
Hey, that's not for you.
It's for the car.
How are your kids?
- They are good.
But they have no school.
- What to do?
All the schools are closed.
What happened to your produce?
- I lost everything.
The rain ruined the crops.
It always rains when we are about to harvest.
What to do?
- It won't rain when it is hot.
Right.
Nature too is testing mankind.
Good souls have reduced.
So, how do you make ends meet?
Are you working anywhere else?
I make do with what you pay me.
- Why don't you work elsewhere?
No.
- You only have work when I'm here.
I'm sure it will be hard to make ends meet.
I send you money.
But is it enough to run your family?
I have enough, sir.
- Both your boys are studying.
And you have a girl.
Can you manage?
I like this job,
that is why I'm doing it.
Okay.
- I heard your brother is sick.
He is still in the hospital.
He is much better now.
You called me the other day.
I was busy then.
So, I could not answer.
You know how tense it is...
...in Singapore.
- I understand, sir.
Okay.
Don't worry, if you need anything,
I'll help you.
Okay, sir.
- Things won't be the same always.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
Don't worry.
Okay, sir.
- Okay.
Okay, open this compartment.
Things have changed so much.
The poor are still poor.
The rich are making money.
What to do? The rich do not
want to help the poor.
This is how life tests us.
You just came from the airport.
Have you started working?
We can make money only if we work.
Will the Singaporean...
...pay us blindly?
- Okay, drink.
I have lots of pending jobs to do.
- Here, drink this.
I can't sit around
doing nothing when I come here.
I still have to do my work.
Drink.
Did you make this juice
or did you order it?
Did you make it?
It's good.
Can I ask you something?
- What is it? Tell me.
How many times have I told you not
to leave wads of money in the car?
You cannot trust anyone these days.
- You are right.
But Chandran has been working
for us for the past 7 years.
He never tells us about his problems.
He never made use of it
to ask us anything extra.
For me, he is part of our family.
I see him as another form of me.
How can you doubt him?
Go and do your work.
You always doubt people.
- It's up to you.
Do whatever you want.
Sit.
Good morning, sir. Here you go.
- Good morning.
Menu? What's special here?
- Flat idli and rava dosa.
We have idli, dosa, poori,
pongal and vada.
Okay, I'll take idli and vada.
For you? One idli and vada for me.
For you?
- Pongal and vadai.
Pongal and vadai.
- Okay, sir.
Chandra, order what you want.
- No need, sir. I'll have a dosa.
It's nice, right?
The dosa is nice, Chandra. Eat.
- Okay, sir.
Chandra! Chandra,
where are you going?
Useless man!
- I'll be there.
Chandra, what happened?
- The man put his leg on the car.
Come on, just eat quietly.
Let the car be. Eat.
- Eat, Chandra.
He will not listen.
He's always worried about the car.
Sir, bill.
Coffee, 120.
The rest, 350.
Total...
- Sir, I'll pay.
Are you sure?
Okay, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Brother!
- Hi!
It's hard to see you nowadays.
- What are you doing here?
I came to pick up a customer.
What are you doing here?
My boss is staying here.
He is on his way down.
I went home 2 days ago.
You weren't there.
I saw my sister and the kids.
Why don't you drive for others
when your boss is not in town?
Do you want me to arrange?
- What for?
My boss takes good care of me.
- It's not that.
When you drive for others,
you can make more money.
That is what I meant.
What do you say?
Well, if I drive for others,
I'll make more money.
But I won't have satisfaction
like what I get here.
You will not listen.
Okay, I'll make a move.
Chandra, wait here,
we'll be back.
Welcome.
- How are you?
Welcome. How are you?
- How are you?
I'm good, thanks.
Take a seat.
Is everyone fine?
- All of us are fine.
Selvam, we could not come
to your daughter's wedding.
I felt very bad.
- We were expecting you guys.
Manju kept asking why you did not come.
I told her
you had an important meeting.
Yes, I spoke to Manju after the wedding.
She was very disappointed.
How are Manju and her husband?
I spoke to her this morning.
It's very cold in the UK.
But everyone is fine.
She sent her regards.
Food is ready. Shall we eat?
- Let's talk over lunch.
Sure, Selvam.
Geetha, put some for her.
That's enough.
- Give him some.
We did not come for the wedding,
so he is giving us a feast now.
Take another piece.
- No, I had enough.
It's great.
Eat, I'll be back.
- Okay.
Can I have that?
Chandra, come on.
Sit down and eat.
I'm so glad I came.
The food was great.
Give my regards to Manju.
- Sure.
Drop by once everything is over.
We'll talk.
Goodbye. Look after your health.
- Bye.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Chandra, get up.
Get up.
They are not human at all.
Come on, we'll eat along the way.
- Okay, sir.
Why did you eat out here?
- They called me to eat, so I ate.
Shenbagam.
- Mayilu, come. Sit down.
I just came to visit you.
You borrowed some money from me.
I need to take my husband
to the hospital tomorrow.
I'm sure you know that he is sick.
Mayilu, he has gone to drive his boss around.
He is not back yet.
I have no money right now.
I'll pay you back once he comes home, Mayilu.
He doesn't want to drive for others.
On the days he is home,
he doesn't even do farming.
I've tried talking to him.
- What can we do, Shenbagam?
My mom used to tell my brother something.
Your husband may not give you comfort.
But your son will,
so don't worry.
Once Nanda grows up,
everything will be fine.
I'll somehow manage, Shenbagam.
Take care.
- Mayilu, have some black coffee.
It's okay,
I'll make a move.
Nanda, have some coffee.
Sister!
Is anyone home?
Sister!
Yes?
Sister!
- What is it?
What is it?
- I'm looking for a job.
Who are you? Why are you looking
for a job at this hour?
I'm Shenbagam's son,
the one from the south lane.
Your father drives for the Singaporean.
Why are you looking for a job?
- No, sister.
I want to help my mother
during the holidays.
Do you want to help your mother
or do you need money for tobacco?
No.
I can't see my mother suffering.
What do you know?
- I can do any job.
Can you cycle?
- Yes.
What's your name?
- I'm Nanda.
Your parents gave you a nice name.
Okay, I'll give you this milk.
Can you deliver it to Ganapathy Tea Stall?
Sure.
Lift it. Careful.
- Okay, sure.
Careful!
Put it here.
Hold it.
Deliver it carefully.
Can you handle it?
Okay, sister.
Go on.
- Goodbye, sister.
Mom!
Oh, no!
What happened?
Sister!
- You fool, what have you done?
What is it? I'm asking you,
why aren't you saying anything?
Did you spill the milk?
- I fell as I was going up the hill.
I fell.
- You've put me in a fix.
How am I going to answer
the tea shop owner?
I should have walked and delivered the milk.
If my husband finds out,
he'll smack me.
Useless boy!
Look at your face!
Hey, Nanda!
I don't care what you do.
You'd better pay me 350
for the milk and bicycle.
By 5 pm... you look pitiful.
And you're still a little boy.
If you do not pay 250 by this evening...
...I'll come after your mother.
Sister, I made a mistake.
Please help me.
Where will I go for money?
If my parents find out,
they'll kill me.
I don't care what you do.
I need the money by 5 pm. Now go!
I need money.
I have no money.
I accidentally spilled the milk.
I'm hurt.
The lady yelled at me.
She wants me to pay her.
I don't know what to do.
In conjunction with Dr. APJ Abdul
Kalam's death anniversary...
...Agni Siragugal Organisation
and the government hospital...
...have organised a blood donation drive.
Let's donate blood and safe lives.
Donating blood is the best form of donation.
Let's help to safe lives
and be proud of it.
The location for the blood drive,
Government Secondary School...
...Annavayal.
In conjunction with Dr. APJ Abdul
Kalam's death anniversary...
...Agni Siragugal has joined forces
with the government hospital...
...to organise a blood drive.
Let's donate and save lives.
Blood donation is the best form of donation.
Stop! Who are you?
- Brother!
I'll donate blood.
Can you pay me 250?
This is a blood donation drive.
They will not pay you.
Okay?
And kids cannot donate blood.
Times are bad. Go home!
Let's go!
Brother, please.
Help me just once.
Brother, please.
Brother!
Please give me a job.
- Job?
I'm working for very little money.
How can I pay you?
- Please, sir.
I'm in trouble.
- Is that so?
I need to pay someone.
Please, sir.
There is nothing you can do here.
Please go.
Please help me, sir.
You can't do this job.
What can you do?
I'll do anything.
I'll fill this pot with sand.
Can you drop it in the bin?
Sure, sir.
You can't even lift a pot of sand.
Put that down.
Get up.
You don't have to work.
I'll give you 50.
Go home.
Here, take this money.
Go home.
- Thanks, sir.
Study hard.
Go home carefully.
No!
Go away!
I pushed you just now.
- No! Go away!
I'm going to roast nuts.
- Go and eat!
Let's play near the temple.
Finish the job quickly.
It's going to rain.
Stop talking.
Why isn't your daughter-in-law here?
She is not home.
- You came alone.
Her mother is sick,
she has gone home.
She'll return in the evening.
You only have one daughter
and she's a teacher.
You have no worries.
Your daughter-in-law was a teacher
and she teaches her kids at home.
You go to everyone's house
just to pick a chat.
I'm not like that.
- What do you lack?
Your son is a driver for a Singaporean.
Your daughter-in-law
takes good care of you.
Come on!
- Why are complaining?
He only drives when his boss is in town.
Other times,
he doesn't work at all.
He doesn't even do farming.
He runs his family with the money
his boss pays him.
Three kids are in school.
And he's building a house too.
I wonder what he is going to do.
She is beautiful!
- Don't run!
It is running!
Look at this.
Look, it's Brother Nanda.
- Yes.
What is he doing over here?
His hand is bleeding.
- There is so much blood.
Don't touch.
Doesn't it hurt?
- Where did you fall?
What happened to you?
- What happened?
Where did you fall?
Let's go home.
Come on.
Let's get granny.
- Okay, let's go.
This is an iPhone 10.
Watch me talk now.
Call daughter-in-law.
Mom, where are you?
- I'm near the field.
I made some porridge for you this morning.
You left without having it.
- I'll be home shortly.
Okay, finish up quickly and go home early.
Make it fast.
It's going to rain.
I'm leaving now.
Granny!
- Granny!
We went to play near the temple.
We saw Nanda there.
Come with us, granny.
- He fell...
...and bruised his hands and legs.
- Let's go, granny.
He was sitting near the temple, granny.
Look at him, granny.
Look, his leg is hurt.
Yes, over there.
Look at his hand, granny.
Where is the useless woman?
I'll teach her a lesson!
Hey, Annapoorani!
How could you be so harsh with him?
Did he pour the milk on purpose?
He fell and got hurt.
Don't you have a heart?
Do you want money?
Here, take it!
Let's go.
The old woman is showing off
in front of her grandkids!
Arrogant old woman!
Hello? Tell me.
I just went to the temple.
I came 2 weeks ago.
Any news? Okay,
I'll call you back.
Chandra!
- Sir?
Have you been waiting here?
- Yes, sir.
I forgot to tell you.
I won't be going out the next 4 days.
Go home and spend some time with the kids.
No, sir, I don't live nearby.
I won't be able to come...
...on time when you need me.
I'll wait here.
Chandra, how many times must I tell
you to stop calling me sir.
Call me brother.
Now listen to me.
Go home now.
Come when I call you.
Okay? Go home now.
- Okay.
Is your lover here?
'Theerakadhali' (soulmate)
is on your chest.
Quit joking.
I'm thinking about our company in Singapore.
I don't know what to do.
- Yes, I wanted to ask you about it.
You said there will be a new project.
Haven't you got it?
- I'll tell you, sit down.
We haven't got any new projects.
It's because of the virus.
It's not just us,
it's the same for all companies.
It's hard to get any new orders.
We'll see how it goes.
We've been paying our workers promptly.
I don't know what I'm going
to do after this. I'm thinking.
Okay, don't worry.
For your good heart...
...everything will be good.
- My good heart?
Get on with your work.
I'll cook something.
- Cook, I'll come.
Sir?
- Fuel up for 1,000.
Fill up, I'll pay you.
- Okay, sir.
Fill up, I'll be back.
- Okay, sir.
Chandra, yes?
- There are wads of cash in the car.
Yes, leave it there.
No problem.
We'll talk when we meet.
- Okay, brother.
Okay, bye.
Have you filled?
- Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
- Here you go.
Vanakkam, sir.
- Welcome. Take a seat.
When did you come from Singapore?
I did not see you in a long time.
So, I came to visit you.
- I came 2 weeks ago.
Your two kids were studying.
What are they doing now?
My elder son did mechanical engineering.
He is working in Bangalore now.
- Okay.
He is complaining that the money
he gets isn't enough for him.
Poor thing!
- My second son did...
...civil engineering.
He hasn't found a job in 3 years.
Okay.
- He is still jobless.
I came to ask if you are looking
for any workers.
It's heartbreaking to hear that.
Things are bad in Singapore too.
We are not getting any projects.
When I need someone, I'll call you.
Don't worry.
In the meanwhile, ask your son
to do a skill course.
Okay, sir, I'll ask him to do it.
I hope you would help me out.
Sure.
- Okay, I'll make a move.
Okay.
- Thank you.
Four of these.
Here you go.
Here you go.
- Bye.
Why did you bring your boss' car?
He's not going out for 4 days.
He told me to take the car back.
Did you ask your boss for cash?
No.
- What's wrong with you?
This morning, Mayilu asked
for the money I borrowed from her.
There is no rice and dhal at home.
We need to get some tomorrow.
I have to take mom to the hospital too.
Can you ask him for some money?
He normally pays me before he goes back.
He has given us enough.
I don't like asking him often.
She's your sister,
tell her to wait.
This is what he does. He only takes
when his boss gives him money.
He has never asked for any money.
Hey, little girl!
Get up!
Hey, get up!
Son, get up Get up, all of you!
We are going to Chennai to sightsee.
What? Chennai?
- Yes.
Are you sure, dad?
- Yes.
Why are you waking them up
in the middle of the night?
Let's visit Chennai.
I want you to get ready too.
- You said earlier you were broke.
Where did you get the money?
- I have enough, come on.
Shall we go in a BMW?
- Sure.
We'll go to the mall and beach in Chennai.
I don't want to come.

I have lots of work tomorrow.
I want to finish them.

Nanda, look. Your father is talking
about his car even in his sleep.
Look at him.
Why did he marry me?
He should have married the car.
My fate!
Here, drink this.
Okay, Nanda.
Once your father gets up...
...give him the coffee I made.
Let your beloved father drink it.
I have work in the garden,
I have to go.
Okay, mom.

Hello? Chandra, can you hear me?
- Just a minute.

Hello, can you hear me now?
- Yes, brother.
Calm down, it's only me.
I need to go out at 11 am.
Can you come over?
- Sure, I'll leave now.
Okay, I forgot to ask you.
You started building the house
a long time ago. What happened?
No, I left it just like that.
You started work a long time ago.
You're saying you left it halfway.
What are you doing?
- The money you gave me...
...went for my mother's medical bill.
I didn't tell you because you'll be angry.
You do this all the time.
Whenever I give you money...
...you spend it on your mother and brother.
Okay, don't worry.
There is money in the car.
How much is in there?
- More than 200,000.
200,000?
Use that to build the house.
I want you to move in
within two months. Okay?
Brother?
- Yes, use the 200,000...
...to build the house.
Ask me if you need more.
Get me?
- Thank you very much.
Okay, do it fast.

This film is dedicated to
all the drivers and their families.
Don't look...
If you ignore me,
my heart would break...
If you touch me,
I catch fire...
I listen to you all the time...
My leg freezes when you appear before me...
Milk turns into rose water
because of you...
Don't look...
If you ignore me,
my heart would break...
You made me inquire about you...
You made me yearn to live with you...
When you smile...
Fish comes to the shore to speak to you...
I think of you the whole day...
I can't sleep at night thinking of you...
I feel your fragrance in the air...
Trees smile when they see you...
Milk turns into rose water
because of you...
Don't look...
If you ignore me,
my heart would break...
When you whisper into my ears...
I react without feeling shy...
Your gaze makes my heart miss a beat...
It dances like a peacock...
If you shine like the sun,
I'll pour like the rain...
I'll enjoy the world with you...
My dreams are about you...
I don't know what is wrong with me...
Milk turns into rose water
because of you...
Don't look...
If you ignore me,
my heart would break...
If you touch me,
I catch fire...
I listen to you all the time...
My leg freezes
when you appear before me...
Milk turns into rose water
because of you...
Don't look...
If you ignore me,
my heart would break...
