Lockdown (2026) Movie Script
Anitha.
We're home.
We'll deal with this, come what may.
Go home now.
Don't say a word to anyone.
I'm terrified of going home.
I'm here for you, Anitha.
Why are you worried?
Don't leave me.
Don't cry.
Hey
Go inside.
Call me if you need anything.
Respected ladies!
I've arrived at your doorstep.
Twenty rupees for 10 grams
of tangled hair.
Forty rupees for 20 grams
of tangled hair.
Sixty rupees for 30 grams

Eighty rupees for 40 grams

Don't miss this wonderful opportunity!
Come on, ladies. Don't delay!
Time to cash in
My girl looks beautiful
even when she's angry.
What do you mean beautiful?
That messy hairdo of hers.
She's too skinny.
No girl can come close to her.
Forget three years,
I'd wait an eternity for her.
Bless us with a wonderful year, Goddess!
Bless us.
Hey, Sapna. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Anitha!
I'm sure you're going to
land a job this year.
Thanks a lot.
I have a strong feeling, too.
- You want to hang out somewhere?
- I've got an HR round tomorrow.
- I've got to practice. Maybe later?
- Switch on the TV, dear.
That's awesome.
Give it your best, okay?
- Sure!
- Turn up the volume.
- See you. Bye!
- Here you go.
There is no doubt that 2020
is going to be a promising year
for all Indians.
To sum up, this year is going to be
extravagant, lavish, and comfortable.
- Hello, Doctor.
- Welcome, Jeeva.
Last month's payment.
Sorry, I was a bit delayed.
I've decided to increase the commission
to 40 percent from this month, Jeeva.
- Inform Madam.
- How could you, Doctor?
Yes. You remember what you said
when you first approached me?
You promised foreign trips, gifts
and commission payouts on time.
A holiday package for the family.
You promised all this.
But have you ever
kept your word once?
- Okay. I'll talk to Madam. See you.
- Okay. See you.
Tell me about yourself, Anitha.
My name is Anitha, sir.
I studied B.Sc. Computer science
in Meenakshi College, sir.
- Okay.
- My father is working in a welding shop.
I have a sister and grandmother.
And my mother is a house maker.
Okay.
Tell me about your hobbies.
I like watching movies, sir.
Tell me the story of one of the movies
that you saw recently.
Just a small story.
Yesterday morning
Beauty personified
Her smile ripples like the sea
She emits a joyful glow
Dreaming boldly as she moves
Opportunities find you,
Yet nothing is final until it's sure
No's resound all around,
God, please extend your mercy!
Chocolate in hand, she hears a no
Extra miles traveled, only to meet a no
She butters you up
Yet, the outcome whispers no
She chased a job,
But faced disdain
With night shifts she found no peace
For her father's disapproval burns
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
Why is it always no?
For every ask, a steadfast no
She's weary from the echo of no's
As she walks through the town
Catching every Romeo she meets
Entranced by her thick hair's allure,
They watch, spellbound and sure
A fairy with a smile so grand
Roses wilt in her commanding hand
She stings as fiercely as any bee
Dad. Dad.
Dad.
Dad, why won't you answer my calls?
I've been calling all day.
I was a little occupied.
Why aren't you in college?
How can I go to college, Dad?
How many times do I tell you
to pay my fees?
I'll pay once I have the money.
I can write the exam tomorrow
only if I pay today, Dad.
They won't let me write the exam
without a hall ticket.
I'll pay it soon.
You keep saying this, Dad.
If you can't do this, let me know.
I'll take up a job.
Why would you say such a thing?
What do you expect, Dad?
- Asha. Asha.
- Go away, Dad.
Look, Asha.
Asha.
Why is your daughter crying?
I haven't paid her college fees yet.
That's why.
What did you do?
Call her now.
Asha. Come here.
- Asha.
- Come here.
Why were you crying?
-Hey, Suresh
-Yes, brother.
- Get me 15,000 rupees.
- No, brother
What's the point of raising children?
Education is paramount for girls.
- Give it to her. Take it.
- Here's the money.
Here. Pay the fees immediately.
Go.
- Thanks, Uncle.
- That's alright.
- See you later, Dad.
- See you.
My relatives used to say,
"Hey, Welder! I heard you wanted
to get your daughter to study medicine."
"That's way over your head,"
they'd say.
What else would they say?
- Yeah.
- We shouldn't pay heed to outsiders.
- Make it in life, and they'll get jealous.
- Yes.
- The minute you fail, they mock you.
- Yes.
- My daughter's about to graduate.
- That's great!
I'm going to rub that into the faces
of people who mocked me then!
That's where you stand!
Did you talk to Dad
about my job?
I've informed Dad.
Respected Ladies.
- He doesn't want you to work night shifts.
- I've arrived at your doorstep.
Hundred rupees for 10 grams
of tangled hair.
Two hundred rupees
for 20 grams of tangled hair.
Three hundred rupees
for 30 grams of tangled hair.
Give me your hair
and take home hard cash.
Don't miss this wonderful opportunity!
- Sister.
- Yes?
- Got tangled hair?
- No, brother.
- Step right up, ladies.
- Mom, he's making fun of my hair.
- Let's talk to him, Mom.
- Hey!
Have you lost your mind?
He's an idiot and so are you!
- Come on.
- Wait, I'm coming!
Careful. Watch your step.
Does she not have any hair for me?
Is her mother bringing it?
- Hundred rupees for ten grams
- What the hell do you want?
How dare you mock me
by calling me "tangled hair?!"
Say it to my face.
I deal with all sorts of hair every day.
Just look at your hair.
See how shiny it is
like the waves?
There's a fan following
in this neighborhood for your hairstyle.
Did you know that?
I'm their leader.
It's my lifetime dream
to weave hair extensions from your hair.
Will that ever happen?
Please tell me.
So, what shampoo do you use?
I don't use shampoo.
Just shikakai powder.
That's it?!
I use a mix of shikakai powder
and fenugreek.
Yeah? Is it all-natural, then?
No wonder it looks good.
Don't just stand there.
These were due yesterday.
- Hey, Suresh.
- Brother.
When do you plan to deliver this?
The customer wants it.
We can deliver it by evening.
Do that first. They've been nagging me.
- Brother.
- Also
Brother. It's your wife.
What's wrong?
Yes, what is it?
Why won't you answer?
How many times do I call you?
I was charging the phone.
Tell me.
What is it? What did they say?
Okay. Come on.
Don't cry. Let's find out what happened.
- Get me two bundles of A4 sheets.
- Okay, sir.
Sir, I want to meet the inspector.
- Why?
- My daughter
Oh.
Wait.
- What's all this?
- Go on.
Come on.
- You wait here.
- No, I'm
Your daughter eloped and got married.
She has lodged a complaint
saying you're a threat to her life.
Here's their marriage certificate.
Sir, where is my daughter now?
Don't worry about anything.
Just repeat what I taught you
word for word.
I'll take care of the rest.
Okay?
Okay.
I'll call you later.
Oh my God! Good Lord!
Wretched sinner!
What did we do to deserve this?
You just ruined your own life!
You! You've ruined my daughter's life!
I curse you!
You'll never be happy!
Stop making a scene, Mom!
I just got married.
It's not like I killed someone.
They're here to make a scene.
Sir. Can I speak to my daughter in private?
Sir. I can't send her alone.
Whatever it is, they can do it here.
Hey. That's his daughter.
That was the case yesterday.
Now, she's my wife, sir.
It's my duty to take care of her
if there's anything.
You can worry about that later.
Wait outside.
I can't just leave her, sir!
What if you brainwash her
and take her home after I leave?
Hey, he wants to talk
to the daughter he raised.
Whatever it is, let them say it here,
right in front of me, sir.
What would they have to say?
"I worked hard to raise you.
Blah, blah, blah."
"You've ruined your life by marrying
a good-for-nothing."
They're going to get all preachy, right?
My Raji would never fall for that, sir.
Isn't it, Raji?
- Isn't it?
- Hey!
You seem to be pretty confident.
Wait outside.
Sir. It's not like I don't trust her.
Isn't it, Raji?
What do you say?
If you saw your parents crying,
would you go with them?
- You won't, right?
- No.
Sir. I'll allow her to talk.
Ask them to say what they want.
Lawyer, this isn't working out
You trust this guy?
He'll leave you out on the streets!
- Listen to me.
- Don't keep saying the same old thing.
What else could we say?
He's mocking my affection for you.
And you don't even react to it?
Bro, she started crying
when she saw me.
Who, bro?
Aunty.
What about Uncle, then?
He's the soft type, bro.
Sir, they won't stop talking.
I'm leaving.
No! Please listen to us.
- Raji, listen to me.
- Let go of me.
Raji, wait!
Raji. Why, Raji?
- Get lost!
- I
- Sir, please talk to her.
- Sir.
Your daughter is pretty adamant
when it comes to this boy.
There's nothing we can do.
Bro, how could you leave her alone?
What if something happens?
- I told you. That's my Raji.
- Awesome, bro! Awesome!
Bro, Uncle's coming.
- My dear
- Brother!
Don't leave us, my dear!
Who do we have besides you?
- I beg you. Please don't leave us!
- Get up! Why are you making a scene?
Curse you!
How could you do this to your father?
- You won't go far in life.
- Hey.
Get your bike here.
- Get your bike here.
- Go and get your bike.
My dear! How could you do this to us?
No. She's leaving!
- Good Lord!
- Drive safe, bro.
Good God!
She's left us all alone!
She's gone. Suresh!
Dear?
He was at her feet,
begging her not to leave.
She didn't even care
that it was her father.
She brushed him off
and left with him on the bike.
Oh no!
Who's that guy?
We don't know, Sudha.
He looked like trash.
Him and his hairdo
He looked like a rogue.
His friends look shady, too.
They knew each other
through Facebook or something.
Sudha.
Keep an eye on our girls.
Keep tabs on what they're up to
all the time.
Brother was able to put up with it.
I I would've died then!
Good God, dear.
How could you say such a thing?
Look. Our daughters are well-behaved.
We've raised them well.
I'll keep an eye on them.
Things will be just fine. Okay?
Look. Don't confuse yourself with this.
Go and freshen up.
Let's have dinner.
The kids are waiting.
- Come on, let's eat.
- Come on, Dad. Let's eat.
I'm coming, dear.
Hello? Tell me, Gopi.
So, Deepa, are you free this evening?
I'm free. Tell me.
- Hey, you want to go to the beach?
- Why?
You're only going to
keep your hands to yourself.
You'll be looking at my face.
And I'll be looking at those walking by.
That's the routine, right?
All we do is stare into the ocean.
I'd rather sit at home.
- I'm not coming. Buh-bye.
- Hey, Deepa!
Tell me, Anitha.
I just saw your status.
Oh, that? I was out with friends.
So, where are you working now?
Please. I just wrapped up an interview.
What?
Are you still unemployed?
My family doesn't want me
working night shifts.
They won't let me work
in another city, too.
I have no idea what to do.
Can you please let me know
when they start hiring in your company?
Hmm. Okay.
Why don't you swing by
my apartment this evening?
We'll talk about it then. Okay?
- Go on. Talk to her.
- AAnitha.
I want to talk to you, Anitha.
I'm Jeeva.
I've been following you
for three years now.
But you don't seem to care.
I know you know this, Anitha. Anitha?
Oh.
Didn't you hear a word I said?
I don't follow.
Take this, Anitha.
What's this for?
Please. Take this.
Why are you acting like this in public?
Anitha, don't say that.
I've always wanted to talk to you.
But I was afraid and hesitated.
My family wants me to get married.
- So?
- I
I told them I'd only marry you.
If you're fine with it,
I'll ask my folks to talk to yours.
Look, Jeeva. I hate these kinds of things.
I know you've been behind me.
I wanted to talk to you about it.
I've got a lot of commitments.
Don't waste your life
by following me around.
Anitha. Please.
I hope you understood what I said.
What's she saying, buddy?
- She said no.
- What! Did she say that?
Why not freshen up after school?
The food's not going anywhere.
Mom, I'll go and meet Meera.
- Okay.
- Give me 200 rupees, Mom.
I just gave you 200 this morning.
You're asking again?!
Mom, I went to the beach station.
The share auto ride was ten rupees.
From there, I went to Thiruvanmiyur
by train. That costed five rupees.
From there, I took a share auto
to Sholinganallur, which was 20 rupees.
I had to have a tea for my headache.
That costed me 30 rupees.
After the interview, I came back to
Thiruvanmiyur from Sholinganallur.
That share auto ride
costed me 20 rupees.
Enough.
Here.
Hey.
Bye!
- Be back on time.
- Okay.
My bike broke down.
I've taken an auto.
Aren't you my darling? I promise.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
Hey! Where are you now?
Meera asked me to meet her
at her house regarding my job.
- I'm on my way to her house.
- Oh, okay.
- Also, you know the guy who stalks me, right?
- Yeah.
Yesterday, he showed up with a bouquet
and confessed his love.
- What?! He confessed?
- Yeah!
That idiot! He'd have a daughter your age
if he'd married at the right time.
He dyed his hair and shamelessly
goes around with a bouquet.
So? What was your answer to that oldie?
I scolded him.
He won't be coming after me anymore.
Forget about him.
Nobody can make me budge.
Alright. I reached her house.
I'll call you later.
- Okay.
- Okay, bye.
Where are you taking me now?
- Do you really want the job?
- Of course!
- Then be quiet.
- My mom will kill me if I'm late.
You won't be late.
We'll go back in time.
Buddy, look! A chick's sitting alone.
Wait, man. I'll take care.
You
You're Shwetha, right?
- No.
- You're not?
Look! Your nose is on the ground!
- I'll get her before I leave.
- Bro
- He's been spit on by numerous girls.
- I know, man.
He's always been lying like this.
What's up, Anitha?
Guess where I am.
Uh where are you?
Come on. Guess.
At the beach!
What are you doing there at this hour?
I met Meera about my job.
She brought me to this party
to introduce someone.
This place is on another level.
I've seen such situations
only in movies.
So, how's the party?
Everybody's enjoying here.
It's like a whole new world.
But, once I meet Meera's friend
I'll leave.
What?! You'll leave?
Didn't you just call it a whole new world?
Enjoy the party.
As if I can.
I'm already late.
I don't know what to tell Mom.
Mmm okay.
Do as I tell you.
Tell Mom that my parents have gone
to Trichy to meet my brother's fiance.
Tell her that I'm scared to be alone.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Okay, stay on call.
I'll connect Mom to the call. Okay?
Okay.
Hello, Anitha. Hang on.
I'll connect Mom to the call.
Yes, Sapna.
Mom, my parents have gone to Trichy
to meet my brother's fiance.
Nobody's home.
I asked Anitha to stay with me.
But she's scared that you'll scold her.
Will you ask her to stay?
You're alone?
She's near you, right?
Give the phone to her.
Anitha
Mom?
Looks like she's scared to be alone.
Stay with her tonight and
come back early tomorrow.
Okay, Mom.
I'll hang up now. Be safe.
Okay.
That's it, Anitha.
We've got permission. Okay?
Enjoy the party.
Don't forget to call me after the party.
Anitha!
Why're sitting here by yourself?
By the way, he's Pradeep.
Pradeep, this is Anitha.
Hi.
Hi.
Meera told me about your job search.
We have a vacancy in our company.
You can join next month.
Don't you believe me?
You'll get your offer letter next month.
Okay?
Come, let's join the party.
- Come on.
- You heard him. Now, come on.
Here. Have it.
- No, I'm good.
- It's nothing.
- Please. I don't drink.
- Come on. Try it.
It's just wine. Give it a try.
It's just wine, Anitha.
Have some. It's nothing.
It's just wine!
- Come on, Anitha.
- It's just wine. Nothing will happen.
Even I drank now.
Did something happen?
Come on. Drink it.
Go ahead.
Come on. Drink it.
Nothing will happen.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers! Come on!
Drink it all!
Buddy, you're girl's drinking and
partying here.
Yeah. Come quick.
All fun, I'm the party's spark!
You, let's light up the night!
My twin flame, yeah, that's you
Soulmate, babe, me and you!
The booze slides down,
Hits just right!
A buzz unmatched,
Wave sorrows goodbye!
Hearts skip and swim in joy,
In the beer jug, oh my!
Sense slips away,
As magic fills the air!
Swimming, twirling, feeling fly,
All thanks to the booze, oh my!
Whose shoulder do I find?
Just my own, and that's just fine!
To enjoy this paradise spot,
I'm right here
All for you,
To cuddle and cherish!
The high strikes the spot
Slowly, with a grin,
That's another round of fun to spin!
Got a thousand dreams, maybe more
Living life big, no time for tears!
I'm spreading my wings, ready to soar
Can I go beyond the sky?
Let's give it a shot!
Dropping my guard! Yep!
Why do I need them? Not at all!
'Cause courage is right near,
In the booze, let's have no fear!
"What mysteries in a girl's heart lie?"
If someone dares to pry,
Give me a wink, I'll spill the truth
In our hearts, wounds they dwell
Even after drinks, they still swell
Come on, friend,
Let's toast away
And all our painful tales
Let's exchange those
Right or wrong,
Together we'll stride
In happiness or pain,
We'll enjoy the ride
Come on! Show us what you've got
Why did you make her drink so much?
It's not like I poured it in her mouth.
She drank it all like water.
- Careful.
- Open the door.
Come on.
Careful.
Careful, man.
Careful.
Lay her down properly.
Remove her shoes.
Anitha? Anitha?
Damn! She's passed out.
Come on, man.
Sorry, brother.
Anitha? Didn't you sleep last night?
I was at my friend's house, Aunty.
Studying together?
- Yeah.
- Right.
She finished college two years ago.
"Studying together."
Who's she kidding?
A student who returned from China
has tested positive for corona.
Corona virus has
started spreading in India.
A student who returned to Kerala
from China has been tested positive.
Hello?
Tell me, Pradeep.
Sorry, Anitha.
It took a while to get you a job.
There's an opening in my company.
Will you be able to join?
Really?
Is 40,000 per month okay for you?
Thank you so much, Pradeep.
Okay, Anitha.
Bye.
Susi!
- Susi!
- Huh?
- I got a job!
- Really?
Once I get my salary
I'll get you a bigger phone.
You can watch your shows on that.
What about your salary?
Forty thousand!
Where's Mom?
I'll tell her.
Mom!
Hey!
What is it?
Leave me.
Gosh! What is it?
Mom, I got a job!
Wait.
It's not a night shift job, right?
No. It's a day shift job in Chennai.
I'll get 40,000 per month.
You are my darling!
Our difficult times are over.
We can go to that temple.
Or wherever you wish to go.
Okay?
- Dear
- Huh?
Suresh's family is here.
Sit down.
- Please, sit.
- Sit.
- Padma, give them something to eat.
- Brother
No, brother. We've already eaten.
Brother
Visit the factory, brother.
Tell him, Padma.
He never listens.
He keeps thinking about his daughter.
Look at his plight.
We're here for you, Uncle.
Please don't worry.
What are you doing now, dear?
I got a job in TCS.
I have to join next month.
Happy to hear that, dear.
I know how much Suresh struggled
to raise you both.
You should never disgrace your parents.
That's my wish.
Why're you coughing?
What happened?
It's nothing, Uncle.
My throat's been like this
for the past few days.
Go and get it checked, dear.
- Okay?
- Okay, Uncle.
Okay, take care.
Take care, Uncle.
- We'll see you soon, brother.
- Okay.
Don't be scared.
They won't write you an injection.
Mom's right beside you. Okay?
Anitha, please come in.
- I'll be back.
- Okay.
- Yes?
- It's
Lately, I've been feeling dizzy.
I am getting tired quickly.
I'm feeling lightheaded.
I feel suffocated.
Do you have regular periods?
I have thyroid problems.
- So, for the past three years, it's irregular.
- Okay.
When was your last thyroid test?
Six months back.
When was your last period?
- January fourth or fifth.
- Okay.
Give me your hand.
Did you bring your thyroid test reports?
No, Doctor.
But I've been taking Levothyroxine, 15mg.
Okay.
Get inside and lie down.
Let's do a pelvic exam.
Let's leave.
Praveen, can you
do a recharge for me?
- Okay, sister. See you.
- See you.
Gosh! What a crowd that was!
It's not like it's the last day.
Hey, where's Anitha?
She's inside.
Okay.
- Nikki!
- What?
- Aren't you my darling? Take this inside.
- Okay, Mom.
Anitha!
Hey!
- Mom?
- What did the Doctor say?
It's nothing, Mom.
It's just a viral infection in the throat.
- Oh.
- The doctor gave me medicines.
She told me I'll be alright.
- Okay. Did you take the tablets?
- Yeah, Mom.
Throw that phone away and
rest for some time.
Okay.
She keeps using the damn phone.
Good afternoon, ma'am.
You're here for?
I'm here for a pregnancy test.
Your name?
S. Anitha.
Have a seat and drink this water.
Tell us when your bladder's full.
We'll call you. Please sit down.
Get inside and lie down.
Let's do a pelvic exam.
Okay, madam.
Remove your panties as well.
When did you say your last period was?
January.
Are you married?
- No.
- Are you in a relationship?
Why do you ask?
I think you are pregnant.
The minute I checked your pulse,
I confirmed it.
- I did a pelvic test to make sure of it.
- I but
But how is it possible?
I'm not married.
But you need not be married
to get pregnant.
I didn't mean it that way.
One must have had a physical relationship
to get pregnant, right?
Nothing like that happened to me.
Let's take a scan to confirm it.
Are you trying to scam me?
I told you.
I'm not pregnant.
Anitha.
Let's go upstairs for the scan.
Come on.
Congratulations!
Look!
It's good news.
You're ten weeks pregnant.
You can see the baby's growth.
The heartbeat is normal.
The baby is healthy.
You can also see the heart rate.
Okay. Wait outside.
We'll give you the report.
Anitha your reports.
What the hell?
It says you are ten weeks pregnant.
I, too, don't understand.
How did you get pregnant
without your knowledge?
Who was it?
You better tell me now.
Why would I lie to you?
Even I didn't know I'm pregnant.
That day, when I went to the party
with Meera
Something must have happened there.
How can you be so sure?
I didn't stay anywhere else.
Hey, someone got on top of you.
Didn't you feel a thing?
I passed out after drinking.
It took me two days to get sober.
I wanted to tell you. But
Okay, come. Let's go to the police.
What good do you think
will come out of that?
We'll find out who did it.
Are you going to get us married?
My parents will know
if we go to the police.
If they know, I'm dead.
Okay, look.
Look at me.
Get up. Let's go to the doctor.
Come.
Come on.
He shouldn't escape.
If we check the resort's CCTV
he'll get caught.
There were about
300 people at that party.
How will we find him?
When I told you
that you were pregnant
didn't you say you're not married and
haven't been physical with anyone?
Now, even the reports confirmed it.
No, Doctor.
She's not what you think.
It was an accident.
This will blow up if her family
know about this.
Please, Doctor. You have to help us.
I've been hearing the same story.
- Doctor, help her abort this baby.
- What?!
How can you ask for an abortion
after doing everything?
Don't you see the advertisements?
Is it so difficult to get
a contraceptive from a medical shop?
Doctor, please. You can help her if you
really want to.
I can't take that risk.
Sorry. You can consult someone else.
Who else can we go to?
- Can you refer someone?
- That's not my job.
Moorthi!
Doctor, please.
My family will be destroyed. I beg you.
- Moorthi!
- Please!
Get them out of here.
- Hey, what's happening?
- Doctor, please!
- What is this?
- I'm not the kind of girl you think.
Please, Doctor. Please.
- Get out of here.
- Hey, hands off of her.
Get out of here.
- How many times should I tell you?
- Leave her.
Is this a hospital or what?
- Get out.
- Get out of here.
Pay 95 rupees.
- Yes?
- Here you go.
What do you want? Tell me.
Huh?
Can we get tablets for abortion?
We don't have tablets for that.
We heard that
we'll get it in medical shops.
We don't have it here.
Ask somewhere else.
Brother
Please, help us. Please.
What do you know about abortion?
One wrong tablet and
you'll lose your life.
I don't want to go to jail
after helping you.
You need a prescription for those tablets.
You need to submit your ID proof.
Only then you'll get those tablets.
If we have a prescription,
will we get it?
Get the prescription.
We'll see.
Of course, I'll do it.
Bring your parents and I'll do it.
Doctor, it'll be a huge problem
if her parents find out.
Please help us, Doctor.
But I can't take this risk.
It might become
a problem for me.
I don't know what to do, Doctor.
I beg you. Please.
Leave, or I'll call the police.
Anitha
We're home.
We'll deal with this,
come what may.
Go home now.
Don't think about anything.
Don't say a word to anyone.
Okay?
I'm terrified of going home.
I'm here for you, Anitha.
Why are you worried?
Will we get the tablets tomorrow?
Of course, we'll get it.
Don't leave me.
Don't worry.
We'll definitely get the tablets tomorrow.
Hey.
Be brave.
It'll be alright.
Come on. Stop crying.
Hey
I'm right here.
Don't cry.
- Go home and rest.
- Okay.
To prevent corona virus
from spreading further
a nationwide 21-day quarantine has
been announced.
The Prime Minister has requested people

Tamil Nadu goes into lockdown to prevent
the spread of the virus.
Authorities advice against
gathering at grocery stores.
Sapna
The lockdown was
just for two days, right?
Now they've extended it
to three weeks.
I'm scared, Sapna.
I just saw the news.
What are we going to do?
Anitha?
Anitha?
Lockdown extended
till the 30th in Tamil Nadu.
Section 144 will continue
to remain in effect.
Government invokes medical committee
findings.
Anitha?
Anitha. Come here.
Anitha!
I need you to wash the clothes.
I'm on my way, Mom.
- Give me my phone! Give it back!
- I just want to play a game.
- Please, sis. Just this once.
- Give me my phone!
Mom
How many times do I tell you
not to use my phone!
Mom!
What's all that commotion?
Hey, why are you crying?
She hit me for using her phone, Mom!
- Did you do that for a phone?
- She's hiding something, Mom.
What's your problem?
Why did you hit her?
She's just a kid!
My official files are in there.
What if I lose them?
What's the big deal
about these documents?
That does not concern you!
Don't touch my phone.
She's not a baby
to delete them by mistake!
Look, you've been acting odd lately.
You're always on your phone.
You get annoyed for no reason.
What's wrong?
You better behave. This isn't right.
Hey, why are you messing around
with her phone?
Go, now.
Look. You've spent enough time
on your phone today.
Come and do your chores!
Yeah, I'm coming.
I wonder what's the big deal.
All my dreams are broken apart,
Now questions linger in my heart
My pain keeps rising,
My heart won't rest
Searching for a way out,
I stumble and fall
Every path I take is lined with thorns
When will I reach the shore I seek
My tears keep flowing,
My heart grows weak
Born a woman, fate takes its test,
A thousand hurdles on her quest
Peace has vanished, none to be found
Dark clouds linger all around
Whom shall I tell this pain I bear?
It's my fate, my cross to wear
How do I live with this stain on my name?
How do I live again?
It's my mistake that my fate's twisted
The legs that once knew rhythm and art
Now run in fear, with a trembling heart
Born a woman, fate takes its test,
A thousand hurdles on her quest
Peace has vanished, none to be found
Dark clouds linger all around
Brother!
We need to talk to you, brother.
Hey, didn't I tell you I can't help?
Why are you following me?
We were never able to get the medicines.
Please help us.
We don't know anyone else besides you.
Please help us. Please.
- Who needs it?
- She does.
- Make a note of this number.
- Okay, go ahead.
I told you to be careful.
Did you listen, then?
- But you kept quiet then.
- What did you expect?
You must've mixed sedatives in her drink.
That's why she was quiet.
Here. You forgot the tablets.
Get lost now.
- Keep leaving things behind.
- Hey.
- Are you trying to get her number?
- No, sir. You just performed her abortion.
Okay. Get back to work.
So you were the ones who called?
- Yes, sir.
- Who's the patient?
- I am.
- How many months?
Three and a half months.
Thirty thousand rupees.
Thirty thousand?
Get a prescription.
We can buy the medicines outside.
Sir, give her a prescription.
We'll buy it elsewhere.
You want me to land up in jail
for giving you a prescription?
Do you understand her situation?
Three and a half months.
She needs surgery to save her life.
The 30,000 is for saving your life.
Understand that?
- Okay, sir. Okay.
- Get that ready first.
Get going.
Come on.
Hey, he wants 30,000 rupees!
Forget the cost. We need his help now.
How much do you have?
I have five thousand rupees.
Okay, come on.
Let's make arrangements.
- Suganya?
- Hey, hang on. Just a minute.
Do you have any cash saved up?
I don't have anything now, Anitha.
I depend on guys for favors.
Please. I'll call you back in the evening.
Why are you asking around for money?
Why do you need money now?
My friend's dad has contracted COVID.
They've admitted him to a hospital.
She wanted some help.
That's why I'm calling my friends.
Here's five thousand rupees. Take it.
Hand it over to your friend.
I was saving it to get a phone.
Pay me later.
- Sapna.
- Tell me.
- I've got 15,000 rupees.
- I have 5,000 rupees with me.
- That makes it 20,000. I need another 10,000.
- Okay.
Let's meet the doctor and talk to him.
What's this? Huh?
This is the best we could do.
Don't you know how difficult it is
to get medicines during the lockdown?
I'm taking a huge risk
by performing an abortion on her.
But you want to bargain with me.
Sir, please take it and help her.
You think I'm running a charity here?
I can perform a safe abortion
only if you pay me 30,000.
Otherwise, we're done talking.
You can leave.
What do we do?
- Okay, sir. We'll get another ten thousand ready.
- Okay.
- Hey, Abhayam!
- What is it?
Wait a second.
- Leave the money on the table.
- Sorry, sir.
- Hand this over to my other wife.
- Okay, sir.
Bring the rest of the money soon.
Let's get going.
Give me twelve!
- Yay! A five.
- Would you look at that?
Gosh, that was a flop roll!
- Mom, it's your turn.
- Grandma, roll it.
Show Sudha what you've got.
I'll show you all.
Happy?
- Roll a six now.
- Anitha, dear.
- Where were you?
- I went to the pharmacy.
We were trying to find you
for a while now.
- You didn't get a six!
- Okay.
as numbers continue to
rise through the country.
Yay!
What have you done?
- It's your turn now.
- She ends up playing volleyball instead.
Hi, Pradeep.
How are you?
Call me when you are free.
It's an emergency.
- Hello, Pradeep.
- Sorry, Anitha.
I just heard your voice message.
Tell me, Anitha.
Pradeep, I have a favor to ask.
Tell me, Anitha.
Please don't take this the wrong way. I've
got a lot of financial trouble at home.
Dad doesn't have a job now.
That's why
- How much do you need?
- Ten thousand will be helpful now.
Okay. I'll send it now.
Is this your Gpay number?
- Yes, Pradeep.
- I'll send it now. Bye.
Thank you so much, Pradeep.
Hey, why have they barricaded the place?
Stop. Are you here to meet someone?
- Sir, we need to go inside.
- That's not possible.
There's a COVID patient inside.
- We want to meet Dr. Ravichandran.
- Dr. Ravichandran is down with corona.
- He's not here. He's at the camp.
- What are you saying, sir?
- When will he be back?
- No idea, lady. But wear your mask first.
Anitha. Anitha!
What do we do now?
- Why do I have to go through all this?
- Don't cry.
I'll call the doctor now.
Hello. Hello? Doctor?
We came to your clinic the other day.
Remember?
Hello. Doctor? Hello?
Just because it's banned here, these guys
are charging a bomb for bootlegged booze.
- I thought I could buy it
- Sapna, stop!
- And they don't even sell it.
- It's the compounder.
Abhayam brother?
How do you know my name?
Who are you?
- We came to the clinic.
- Oh! That 20,000?
The doctor tried to chase away the virus
by chanting, "Go, corona, go!"
But he contracted the coronavirus.
His house has been barricaded.
They're looking for me, too.
I gave them the slip, though.
- What's your problem?
- When will the doctor be back?
That's a little uncertain right now.
We had paid him 20,000.
You can wave goodbye to it.
- Brother.
- What is it?
- Please, brother.
- I know your problem.
Do you need my help?
Your help?
Don't you know?
We know things doctors aren't aware of.
He knows the medicines, but only
we know how to turn that into business.
All I need is four tablets
to pump your stomach clean.
- But he said she needed surgery.
- You're so gullible.
He said that to mint money from you.
Otherwise, would people cough up
30,000 for a bunch of tablets?
- Don't trust him. All's not lost, though.
- He sounds sketchy.
Give me the 10,000.
I'll get you those tablets.
I think he's trying to
pull a fast one on us.
Oh. Still don't trust me?
Go to the doctor. See you.
Just a minute.
Hey, what are you doing?
Look, this won't work out
if you don't trust me.
Just mention my name in Kakkathoppu
and people will lead you to my house.
Please, brother.
- Get me those tablets.
- Right. I'll get you those.
Call me by ten tomorrow morning.
I'll have it ready by then.
- Just a minute.
- What?
Give me your number.
My number?
- 9500095000.
- You should have a missed call from me.
That's your number? Got it.
- Fine. Call me tomorrow at 10.
- Okay.
- Dear.
- Hm.
Anitha goes out frequently.
She keeps telling us
she's visiting friends.
Something's not right with her.
It's not what you think.
She keeps snapping back all the time.
She can't put that phone down.
Can you talk to her?
Okay. I'll get you some coffee.
I called him like ten times since morning.
He just won't answer!
I'm starting to doubt this.
Get the white after pocketing this red.
It's easy.
- Okay. Okay.
- Brother.
- Is there anyone named Abhayam here?
- Abhayam?
Why are you joking around
at this hour, lady?
- Your turn. Now, play.
- Ask them.
He told us he was well-known
in the Kakkathoppu locality.
He works as a compounder.
There's no one by that name here.
- You know anyone here by that name?
- Not to my knowledge, brother.
We don't know anyone by that name.
- Don't know him?
- Pocket that red now.
- Let's go.
- Powder up the board.
I knew he was a fraud!
I told you not to trust that guy!
But you didn't listen to me.
We're penniless now!
- What do we do now?
- Why don't you come up with a plan?
Hey. What are they doing
out at this hour?
Looking for some booze, maybe?
- Why are they following us?
- Yeah, she's quite the booze-hound.
Why are you following me now?
Didn't I tell you I don't like you?
Hey, stop acting like a saint!
I saw how wasted you were
at the party the other night.
Don't act innocent now.
She has every right to do what she wants.
What's your problem?
- Shut up and get lost.
- Hey, who do you think you are?
- Let's go.
- Buzz off.
- I'll complain to the police.
- The hell you would. Get lost!
- You get lost, you punk!
- Don't get into a fight with them.
- I told you this wouldn't work out.
- I fell for her like a dunce.
- How does he know about the party?
- You got a light?
- You don't?
- I think he might have done it.
Let's tell your mother what happened.
What's the worst that could happen?
Maybe she'd yell or thrash you?
We can deal with that.
What do I tell her?
That I went to a party and got drunk?
That I danced after getting drunk
and passed out?
That I don't know
who's responsible for this?
That I'm three and half
months pregnant now?
What would she think of me?
Wouldn't she think that
I'm promiscuous?
How could I look her in the eye?
I don't understand what to do, Anitha.
The pharmacy wants a prescription.
Doctors are threatening
to go to the police.
Despite all this,
we found a guy who was ready to help.
But he's down with COVID now.
And that compounder
took off with the money.
- I don't know what to do. I'm confused.
- Hey.
- Where are you now?
- I'm on my way, Mom.
Go.
Where were you?
At Sapna's house, Mom.
Is it?
I called Sapna's mom.
She said you both weren't at home.
What were you two up to?
Hey, aren't you scared at all?
There's a pandemic out there.
And there are elders in our house.
You're irresponsible.
I know all that.
I'm having a headache.
Please leave me alone, Mom.
Please.
- Please.
- How dare you?
You keep avoiding my questions.
Who are you going out with?
Stop talking nonsense.
What do you want now?
How dare you talk back?
- What?
- Why are you shouting like this?
Do I look like I'm shouting?
I'll give you a tight slap.
God! You're killing me.
Get lost.
Get out.
Get out, Mom!
I'll show her.
I've been too easy on her.
I'll show her who I am.
You!
- How dare you talk back.
- What?!
Can't you answer me properly?
I'll show you.
- What are you thinking of yourself?
- Mom! Stop, Mom! Stop!
- Do you even have an ounce of respect?
- Leave her, Mom!
- Don't do it!
- Don't stop me.
- Where did you find the courage?
- Just kill me. Go ahead.
Hey, Sudha. Stop!
- Hey, stop.
- Leave me.
- Are you mad?
- Yes. I am.
She's become so bold these days.
Ask her what she's up to.
Hey, stop. Hey!
Whom did you go out with?
- I'll kill you.
- Stop it.
Rascal.
How many times
should I tell you to stop?
Why do you keep hitting her?
Do whatever you want.
I don't care.
Do you want us to die?
Should we hang ourselves?
Do as you please.
Leave me.
Dear?
Careful.
My dear?
Anitha
Anitha?
Whatever the problem is,
you can tell me, okay?
Okay? Niketha.
Bring her some water.
Why do you have to go out, dear?
Stay home for now.
Keep an eye on our girls.
I I would've died then!
Leave, or I'll call the police.
One wrong tablet and
you'll lose your life.
Ravichandran is down with corona.
DAD!
DAD!
Oh, God!
Dad!
Dad!
- Oh, God! Anitha!
- My God!
- Anitha! What have you done?
- God!
- Anitha!
- Help! Somebody, help!
Bring a knife.
Anitha!
Why? Why did you?
Anitha!
Why did you do this, dear?
Here. Drink this.
How could you do this, my dear?
- It's alright.
- You could've told me, dear.
Cast off the evil eye on her first.
Your wish, then.
Don't leave her alone, brother.
Stay with her.
God! It's my fault.
I won't hit you again. I promise.
Look at me. Look at me, dear.
I told you.
She's going out with someone.
She would've done something
and gotten caught.
- I'm sure.
- HEY! FOOL!
- Why did you hit me?
- What are you blabbering?
That girl did this because of you.
If you talk about her again,
I'll kill you.
Yes, Mom?
Hey
Does she love someone?
No, Mom. What happened?
Hey
She tried to hang herself today.
What? She tried to commit suicide?!
Listen. If I find out,
you'll be in trouble!
Tell me the truth.
No, Mom. There's nothing like that.
Okay, Mom.
I'll try calling her.
Hey.
Why are you telling this to everyone?
It's just that
I think she's in love with someone.
What?
Yes, dear.
Our neighbor, Madhumitha, told me.
She saw Anitha talking with a guy.
Did you see her talking?
No. I'm guessing from what she told me.
Is that why you hit her with a broom?
Okay.
Don't ask her anything.
I'll ask her.
Get up, dear. Take a shower.
I saw how wasted you were
at the party the other night.
Don't act innocent now.
You're Shwetha, right?
We have a vacancy in our company.
You can join next month.
Come on, let's party.
It's just wine. Give it a try.
How much do you want?
Do you love someone, dear?
It's just
Your mom told me
that you were talking with a boy.
No, Dad. It's not what you think.
Then why did you try to kill yourself?
Sorry, Dad.
I won't do that again.
Did you decide to leave us all behind?
Huh?
Aren't you scared?
How many times do I tell you?
Leave.
What's going on?
Close it, sir.
Sir, don't worry.
It'll be alright.
Let's go.
Can't you hear us?
Stop standing in crowds here.
Ask them to close their shops.
I'll close it now, sir.
Hey, close the shop.
Everyone living here should get tested
for COVID at the arts college.
If anyone falls sick,
don't hesitate to call this number.
- Hey, you can't go inside.
- I'll just stand here.
Anitha!
Come here.
Why did you attempt suicide?
Are you that bold?
Tell me. Why did you do it?
Do I have another way?
Tell me.
Some rabid dog wronged me
and I'm bearing the cross here.
I keep getting nauseous.
My stomach keeps growing.
I don't know when I'll get caught.
I'm dying every day.
So I decided to end it all.
What about your parents?
Did you think about them?
What will they do if the post-mortem
discloses your pregnancy?
Think about it.
Okay.
Promise me.
Swear that you won't act stupid again.
Promise me.
I won't do anything.
I've spoken to the doctor.
He'll be back in ten days.
Okay?
I can't step out for a month.
I'm here for you, Anitha.
Oh, beautiful flower
Stop shedding tears
You have to lift yourself up
No one else will
Keep running in your path
Don't stray
Swim fearlessly
The shore's waiting
This world is vile
Everyone here is a sinner
Some know it all
Some live in ignorance
There's no one here
Who's all good or all bad
Know this truth
And keep living, my dear
A beautiful rose plant
It has its thorns
That doesn't mean its fragrance is lost
Moon may look hidden
It grows and wanes
But it doesn't mean it vanished
This is the truth
Don't forget
Don't let your sadness
Eat you up
You've lived in silence long enough,
It's time to rise
Know your path, walk in it
All your pain will vanish
- Yes, Sapna?
- Anitha.
Listen to me,
and don't get shocked.
What happened?
We gave 20 thousand to a doctor, right?
He died from COVID.
What?
Yeah. I just called him.
His wife answered.
I told her about the money we gave him.
But she's not ready to listen.
She's asking for a receipt.
I don't know what to tell her.
Hello?
Some know this truth
Some live in ignorance
There's no one here
Who's all good or all bad
Understand this truth
Keep on living
- Dad, you got a call.
- Who is it?
No idea, Dad.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Yeah?
Okay.
When?
Wh what?
What happened?
- Dad?
- What is it?
- What happened?
- What's wrong?
- Why're you crying?
- What's wrong, Dad?
Why are you crying?
What is it?
Mom! Come here.
- Tell us.
- Mom
Dear? What's wrong?
What happened?
- Brother and his wife hung themselves.
- Oh, God!
God!
They thought staying here would
remind them of their daughter.
So they left for their village
to live peacefully.
God!
But all the people in their village
insulted them
for what their daughter did.
Not being able to bear it
they ended it all.
That wretched girl!
She destroyed that family!
She'll end up on the streets.
She'll burn in hell.
Do you want to get an abortion, too?
- No.
- Then?
It's for her.
What?!
You still didn't get it done?
We saw the doctor you told us.
He took 20,000 from us for the abortion.
But he died due to COVID.
His compounder promised to get the tablets
and took 10,000 from us.
But he cheated us, too.
We don't know what to do now.
Also, one of her neighbors
contracted COVID.
Her area was put under barricades.
She couldn't step out.
- That's why.
- It's four and a half months now.
Please help us, brother.
We don't know anyone.
Tablets won't work anymore.
You have to get a surgery.
But it's too risky.
Please. Leave me alone.
Sir, sir. Please.
- Please, sir.
- What are you doing?
- What will people think?
- Listen to me, sir.
You're our only hope now.
I have nothing to do
with this pregnancy.
I went to meet my friend
at a party regarding a job.
I drank because she forced me.
I don't know what happened after that.
I swear, sir.
Believe it or not.
But this is the truth.
- Hey, what's going on there?
- Please.
I beg you, sir.
Please help me.
Hey, why are you standing here?
Don't wait here.
Keep moving.
Sir, please.
- Hello?
- Sir, I need a favor.
My friend needs to get an abortion.
- You won't let me rest even now?
- It's not like that.
Okay. Ask her to meet me.
Okay, sir.
- Note down this number.
- Why are you still standing here?
- Leave.
- We're leaving, sir.
Give me the number, sir.
- The number?
- 811
009-36-35.
- Don't delay any further.
- Okay.
If he asks, tell him it's
three and a half months.
They won't do it if you're
four and a half months pregnant.
Okay? Go and meet him soon.
- Thank you, sir.
- Take care.
Brother, we've reached the location.
Where are you?
I'm at the location, too.
Oh, God! This guy?
Come on. Let's leave.
No.
We don't have any choice besides him.
Keep quiet.
He's already pissed at me.
He'll tell my parents!
- Let's go.
- Hey.
You're four and a half months pregnant.
We don't have a choice now.
You keep quiet.
I know what to do.
Stay silent.
Sir
- Did you call me?
- Yes, sir.
How many months?
Three and a half months.
It'll cost you 75,000.
Seventy-five thousand?!
A doctor told us
he'll do it for 30,000.
So get him to do it then.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
One minute, sir.
Uh
Can you do it for 40,000?
Fifty thousand is my final offer.
What? Is that okay?
Okay, sir.
I'll get the money ready and call you.
- Okay then. Call me.
- Okay, sir.
That fraud is asking for
50,000 rupees.
True love, it seems.
How are we going to get
that much money?
We have to do it somehow.
We don't have a choice.
What is it, Anitha?
Meera, I'm having some health issues.
Can you lend me 20,000
for my treatment?
Okay. Call me tomorrow morning.
I'll transfer it to you.
- Thanks a lot.
- Okay. Bye.
She promised to transfer
the money tomorrow morning.
Dad, shall I bring you
another dosa?
- Enough, dear.
- What about you, grandma?
No, dear. I'll make it myself.
Hello, Meera?
This is Anitha.
It's hello?
The number you've called
is currently busy.
will redeem your jewellery
and will take it for its market value.
No matter where your jewels are pawned,
Maha Gold will redeem it for you.
They buy it for its market price
and you'll get your money immediately.
Suresh brother.
- Yeah. I'm coming.
- Let's go.
Dial 044-4545-4545.
Nikitha, where's Mom?
She's bathing.
Sapna, the money's ready.
Come to the temple near my house.
Okay?
Are you the one who called me?
Yes, sir.
Give me the bangles.
How much do you need?
Fifty thousand.
It's only 16.17 grams.
This won't get you
fifty thousand rupees.
If you sell it,
you'll get 50 thousand.
Are you okay with that?
Yeah.
I need a photo.
Remove your mask.
There's 50 thousand rupees here.
Check it.
Thank you, brother.
Come. Let's go.
Where's your bike?
My brother is not giving me the keys.
He doesn't want me to
go out in this pandemic.
For whom?
It's for me, Doctor.
Give me the cash.
How many months?
Three and a half.
What's your blood group?
B - positive.
Do you have blood pressure?
I don't know.
Do you have any medication allergies?
No.
Come inside.
You wait here.
Lift your dress.
How many months did you say
you were pregnant?
Three and a half months.
It doesn't look like it.
Looks like you are
five months pregnant.
No, Doctor.
It's three and a half months.
Okay. Come.
Let's check.
It says that you're
five months pregnant.
No, Doctor.
- It's just three and a half months.
- No. You're lying.
Look.
This is risky.
I won't do it.
Doctor
Clean up and come outside.
Doctor
Doctor, please!
Leave.
- Doctor, please. Listen to me.
- Anitha
What happened?
He's angry we hid the truth
and isn't willing to take the risk.
Let's talk to him. Come on.
Hey, Jeeva
You told me she's
three and a half months pregnant.
But the scan shows that
she's five months pregnant.
I told you what she told me.
No, bro. This is risky.
I can't do it.
I returned their money and
asked them to leave.
Why did you do that?
Ask one lakh from them.
Okay.
I'll ask for one lakh.
Let's stick to the same story
if they call. Okay?
Okay, man.
- Okay. I'll call you later.
- Okay.
Don't forget my commission, man.
I won't, man.
Hang up now.
Why are you still here?
Doctor
The one who referred you
He asked me to say
I'm three and a half months pregnant.
Then get it done from him.
Doctor, please.
I want you both to leave.
LEAVE.
Take this money and help me, Doctor.
Please.
Give me one lakh.
I'll do it.
One lakh?!
Yeah.
I had to steal and sell
my mom's bangle for this money.
Where will I go for that much money?
That's your problem.
Sir, you asked for 50 thousand.
Why are you charging more now?
Help her get an abortion now, sir.
I'll get you your money in a week.
Trust me, sir. Please.
Why should I trust you?
I don't even know you.
You'll vanish after the abortion.
Do you expect me to
beg you for the rest of the money?
Heartless guy.
What did you say?
Come again.
I didn't say anything.
I'm heartless?!
You are the idiots here.
Look.
Watch your words.
Hey
Now you want respect, eh?
You'll happily sleep around
and you want me to clean your womb?
That's not my job.
Get out!
Did you see us sleeping around?
- Huh?
- Oh.
It's not my job
to check whom you sleep with.
Listen. Don't talk rubbish
and humiliate yourself.
Don't act chaste.
Get out.
You moron!
- I'll break your face if you keep talking.
- Shut up. Shut the hell up.
- I'll show you who I am.
- Why do you need one lakh now?
- Whom do you...
- Dad
Anitha?
Why did you need money so badly
that you went and sold our bangles?
Where are you?
Hello?
Hello?
Dad?
- Dad?
- Hello?
Hello?
- She hung up.
- She hung up?
- God!
- She hung up?
Gosh! She's gone.
She humiliated us and ran away.
I'll bring the police.
- I'll get you locked up.
- Shut up.
- How dare you talk to us like that?
- Get out. Get the hell out!
As if she'll bring the police.
I'll show you who I am.
- What?
- Sapna, stop. Stop it.
This is not the time to fight.
- We shouldn't let him go, Anitha.
- My parents found out about the bangles.
We're out of options now.
You stay here.
I'll talk to him.
Doctor
Sorry, Doctor.
She spoke out of anger.
Sorry.
- Please forgive us.
- I wanted to help you.
But you'll report me
to the police, huh?
Listen to me carefully.
Even if you give me ten lakhs,
I won't help with your abortion.
Get lost.
Sorry, Doctor.
Do you really think
we'll go to the police?
She talked out of anger.
- Leave.
- Doctor, please.
- I don't have a choice, Doctor.
- I've got work.
- You have to help me.
- Gosh! Leave me alone.
- Let me go, woman.
- Please. I beg you.
Please, Doctor.
Listen to me.
You have to help me, Doctor.
I don't have a choice.
- Help me, Doctor.
- Hey, let go.
If my family knows
they'll kill themselves.
Please, Doctor.
My family will be destroyed, Doctor.
Please help me.
Get up.
I don't know what to do.
Please help me, Doctor.
I'll help you. Stand up.
- Stand up.
- Please, Doctor.
Please.
Please.
Mom
Mom, I have to tell you something.
What is it?
Anitha was asking for money
from everyone.
I don't know why.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
- I was scared to tell you.
- Gosh!
Stop crying.
Wipe those tears.
God! Even Sapna isn't picking up.
Have these tablets.
I'm going to insert the tablet.
It'll take up to ten hours maximum.
If that doesn't work,
you'll need surgery.
I don't want to undergo surgery, Doctor.
I'll try my best.
You're five months in already.
Let's wait. I'm going
to insert the tablet now.
Stay in bed. Call me if there's any pain.
I'll wait outside.
Anitha?
Everything will be fine.
Stay strong.
Okay?
- Does it hurt?
- A little bit.
- I can feel the pain.
- Oh.
You wait outside. Go! You heard me.
I'm outside. Call me if you need anything.
Push now. Push harder.
Push harder. Apply pressure now.
More pressure.
A bit more. That's it.
Push harder. Push!
Do you want to see?
Refer your friends.
We can work out the price.
- Tell me.
- I'll send you 10,000 rupees online. Okay?
Okay, fine.
Bro, had you been a real doctor,
you could've sold ice to Eskimos.
What difference does it make?
It's not like doctors would do this.
I'm doing a compounder's work
like a doctor.
- Okay. See you.
- Okay.
Not bad. He performed the abortion
for 50,000 despite wanting 1,00,000.
I thought he wouldn't do it.
Turns out he was a good doctor all along.
I think I jumped the gun
when I yelled at him.
Anitha?
What's wrong?
Everything went well.
Why are you crying now?
Don't cry.
Anitha?
Anitha?
I'll do it if you agree.
I don't understand, Doctor.
I'll perform the abortion
if you're willing to sleep with me.
I'm not compelling you.
If you don't want to, that's fine.
You are free to leave.
Our daughters are well-behaved.
Mom, I got a job!
You should never disgrace your parents.
Sorry, Dad. I won't do that again.
Sudha. Keep an eye on our girls.
Brother was able to put up with it.
I I would've died then!
Eyes filled with tears of agony
I'm left stranded and forsaken
In this world,
Solace is a distant dream
The age of darkness,
Where dawn never breaks
In a cruel world,
Where we fight fire with fire
No mistake comes undone
By committing yet another one
Don't weep, weary heart
Hey, Jeeva. What a babe, man.
That was awesome.
- What do you mean?
- Yes!
It was mind-blowing!
She was exquisite.
Chastity's not just hers,
It's his to bear as well
Aren't women as sacred
As the gods we tell?
No time to dwell on pain
Rise up, face each tomorrow
That rabid dog!
I'll break his rotten face.
As pain keeps growing in our heart
Eyes become the ocean of tears
Have courage in your heart
It'll make your path clear
No matter what your burn
Tears or garbage
That will not change fire's strength
You are like fire
We're home.
We'll deal with this, come what may.
Go home now.
Don't say a word to anyone.
I'm terrified of going home.
I'm here for you, Anitha.
Why are you worried?
Don't leave me.
Don't cry.
Hey
Go inside.
Call me if you need anything.
Respected ladies!
I've arrived at your doorstep.
Twenty rupees for 10 grams
of tangled hair.
Forty rupees for 20 grams
of tangled hair.
Sixty rupees for 30 grams
of tangled hair.
Eighty rupees for 40 grams
of tangled hair.
Hundred rupees for 50 grams
of tangled hair.
Get paid in cash
for what you're throwing away!
Don't miss this wonderful opportunity!
Come on, ladies. Don't delay!
Time to cash in
My girl looks beautiful
even when she's angry.
What do you mean beautiful?
That messy hairdo of hers.
She's too skinny.
No girl can come close to her.
Forget three years,
I'd wait an eternity for her.
Bless us with a wonderful year, Goddess!
Bless us.
Hey, Sapna. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Anitha!
I'm sure you're going to
land a job this year.
Thanks a lot.
I have a strong feeling, too.
- You want to hang out somewhere?
- I've got an HR round tomorrow.
- I've got to practice. Maybe later?
- Switch on the TV, dear.
That's awesome.
Give it your best, okay?
- Sure!
- Turn up the volume.
- See you. Bye!
- Here you go.
There is no doubt that 2020
is going to be a promising year
for all Indians.
To sum up, this year is going to be
extravagant, lavish, and comfortable.
- Hello, Doctor.
- Welcome, Jeeva.
Last month's payment.
Sorry, I was a bit delayed.
I've decided to increase the commission
to 40 percent from this month, Jeeva.
- Inform Madam.
- How could you, Doctor?
Yes. You remember what you said
when you first approached me?
You promised foreign trips, gifts
and commission payouts on time.
A holiday package for the family.
You promised all this.
But have you ever
kept your word once?
- Okay. I'll talk to Madam. See you.
- Okay. See you.
Tell me about yourself, Anitha.
My name is Anitha, sir.
I studied B.Sc. Computer science
in Meenakshi College, sir.
- Okay.
- My father is working in a welding shop.
I have a sister and grandmother.
And my mother is a house maker.
Okay.
Tell me about your hobbies.
I like watching movies, sir.
Tell me the story of one of the movies
that you saw recently.
Just a small story.
Yesterday morning
Beauty personified
Her smile ripples like the sea
She emits a joyful glow
Dreaming boldly as she moves
Opportunities find you,
Yet nothing is final until it's sure
No's resound all around,
God, please extend your mercy!
Chocolate in hand, she hears a no
Extra miles traveled, only to meet a no
She butters you up
Yet, the outcome whispers no
She chased a job,
But faced disdain
With night shifts she found no peace
For her father's disapproval burns
No no no
No no no
No no no
No no no
Why is it always no?
For every ask, a steadfast no
She's weary from the echo of no's
As she walks through the town
Catching every Romeo she meets
Entranced by her thick hair's allure,
They watch, spellbound and sure
A fairy with a smile so grand
Roses wilt in her commanding hand
She stings as fiercely as any bee
Dad. Dad.
Dad.
Dad, why won't you answer my calls?
I've been calling all day.
I was a little occupied.
Why aren't you in college?
How can I go to college, Dad?
How many times do I tell you
to pay my fees?
I'll pay once I have the money.
I can write the exam tomorrow
only if I pay today, Dad.
They won't let me write the exam
without a hall ticket.
I'll pay it soon.
You keep saying this, Dad.
If you can't do this, let me know.
I'll take up a job.
Why would you say such a thing?
What do you expect, Dad?
- Asha. Asha.
- Go away, Dad.
Look, Asha.
Asha.
Why is your daughter crying?
I haven't paid her college fees yet.
That's why.
What did you do?
Call her now.
Asha. Come here.
- Asha.
- Come here.
Why were you crying?
-Hey, Suresh
-Yes, brother.
- Get me 15,000 rupees.
- No, brother
What's the point of raising children?
Education is paramount for girls.
- Give it to her. Take it.
- Here's the money.
Here. Pay the fees immediately.
Go.
- Thanks, Uncle.
- That's alright.
- See you later, Dad.
- See you.
My relatives used to say,
"Hey, Welder! I heard you wanted
to get your daughter to study medicine."
"That's way over your head,"
they'd say.
What else would they say?
- Yeah.
- We shouldn't pay heed to outsiders.
- Make it in life, and they'll get jealous.
- Yes.
- The minute you fail, they mock you.
- Yes.
- My daughter's about to graduate.
- That's great!
I'm going to rub that into the faces
of people who mocked me then!
That's where you stand!
Did you talk to Dad
about my job?
I've informed Dad.
Respected Ladies.
- He doesn't want you to work night shifts.
- I've arrived at your doorstep.
Hundred rupees for 10 grams
of tangled hair.
Two hundred rupees
for 20 grams of tangled hair.
Three hundred rupees
for 30 grams of tangled hair.
Give me your hair
and take home hard cash.
Don't miss this wonderful opportunity!
- Sister.
- Yes?
- Got tangled hair?
- No, brother.
- Step right up, ladies.
- Mom, he's making fun of my hair.
- Let's talk to him, Mom.
- Hey!
Have you lost your mind?
He's an idiot and so are you!
- Come on.
- Wait, I'm coming!
Careful. Watch your step.
Does she not have any hair for me?
Is her mother bringing it?
- Hundred rupees for ten grams
- What the hell do you want?
How dare you mock me
by calling me "tangled hair?!"
Say it to my face.
I deal with all sorts of hair every day.
Just look at your hair.
See how shiny it is
like the waves?
There's a fan following
in this neighborhood for your hairstyle.
Did you know that?
I'm their leader.
It's my lifetime dream
to weave hair extensions from your hair.
Will that ever happen?
Please tell me.
So, what shampoo do you use?
I don't use shampoo.
Just shikakai powder.
That's it?!
I use a mix of shikakai powder
and fenugreek.
Yeah? Is it all-natural, then?
No wonder it looks good.
Don't just stand there.
These were due yesterday.
- Hey, Suresh.
- Brother.
When do you plan to deliver this?
The customer wants it.
We can deliver it by evening.
Do that first. They've been nagging me.
- Brother.
- Also
Brother. It's your wife.
What's wrong?
Yes, what is it?
Why won't you answer?
How many times do I call you?
I was charging the phone.
Tell me.
What is it? What did they say?
Okay. Come on.
Don't cry. Let's find out what happened.
- Get me two bundles of A4 sheets.
- Okay, sir.
Sir, I want to meet the inspector.
- Why?
- My daughter
Oh.
Wait.
- What's all this?
- Go on.
Come on.
- You wait here.
- No, I'm
Your daughter eloped and got married.
She has lodged a complaint
saying you're a threat to her life.
Here's their marriage certificate.
Sir, where is my daughter now?
Don't worry about anything.
Just repeat what I taught you
word for word.
I'll take care of the rest.
Okay?
Okay.
I'll call you later.
Oh my God! Good Lord!
Wretched sinner!
What did we do to deserve this?
You just ruined your own life!
You! You've ruined my daughter's life!
I curse you!
You'll never be happy!
Stop making a scene, Mom!
I just got married.
It's not like I killed someone.
They're here to make a scene.
Sir. Can I speak to my daughter in private?
Sir. I can't send her alone.
Whatever it is, they can do it here.
Hey. That's his daughter.
That was the case yesterday.
Now, she's my wife, sir.
It's my duty to take care of her
if there's anything.
You can worry about that later.
Wait outside.
I can't just leave her, sir!
What if you brainwash her
and take her home after I leave?
Hey, he wants to talk
to the daughter he raised.
Whatever it is, let them say it here,
right in front of me, sir.
What would they have to say?
"I worked hard to raise you.
Blah, blah, blah."
"You've ruined your life by marrying
a good-for-nothing."
They're going to get all preachy, right?
My Raji would never fall for that, sir.
Isn't it, Raji?
- Isn't it?
- Hey!
You seem to be pretty confident.
Wait outside.
Sir. It's not like I don't trust her.
Isn't it, Raji?
What do you say?
If you saw your parents crying,
would you go with them?
- You won't, right?
- No.
Sir. I'll allow her to talk.
Ask them to say what they want.
Lawyer, this isn't working out
You trust this guy?
He'll leave you out on the streets!
- Listen to me.
- Don't keep saying the same old thing.
What else could we say?
He's mocking my affection for you.
And you don't even react to it?
Bro, she started crying
when she saw me.
Who, bro?
Aunty.
What about Uncle, then?
He's the soft type, bro.
Sir, they won't stop talking.
I'm leaving.
No! Please listen to us.
- Raji, listen to me.
- Let go of me.
Raji, wait!
Raji. Why, Raji?
- Get lost!
- I
- Sir, please talk to her.
- Sir.
Your daughter is pretty adamant
when it comes to this boy.
There's nothing we can do.
Bro, how could you leave her alone?
What if something happens?
- I told you. That's my Raji.
- Awesome, bro! Awesome!
Bro, Uncle's coming.
- My dear
- Brother!
Don't leave us, my dear!
Who do we have besides you?
- I beg you. Please don't leave us!
- Get up! Why are you making a scene?
Curse you!
How could you do this to your father?
- You won't go far in life.
- Hey.
Get your bike here.
- Get your bike here.
- Go and get your bike.
My dear! How could you do this to us?
No. She's leaving!
- Good Lord!
- Drive safe, bro.
Good God!
She's left us all alone!
She's gone. Suresh!
Dear?
He was at her feet,
begging her not to leave.
She didn't even care
that it was her father.
She brushed him off
and left with him on the bike.
Oh no!
Who's that guy?
We don't know, Sudha.
He looked like trash.
Him and his hairdo
He looked like a rogue.
His friends look shady, too.
They knew each other
through Facebook or something.
Sudha.
Keep an eye on our girls.
Keep tabs on what they're up to
all the time.
Brother was able to put up with it.
I I would've died then!
Good God, dear.
How could you say such a thing?
Look. Our daughters are well-behaved.
We've raised them well.
I'll keep an eye on them.
Things will be just fine. Okay?
Look. Don't confuse yourself with this.
Go and freshen up.
Let's have dinner.
The kids are waiting.
- Come on, let's eat.
- Come on, Dad. Let's eat.
I'm coming, dear.
Hello? Tell me, Gopi.
So, Deepa, are you free this evening?
I'm free. Tell me.
- Hey, you want to go to the beach?
- Why?
You're only going to
keep your hands to yourself.
You'll be looking at my face.
And I'll be looking at those walking by.
That's the routine, right?
All we do is stare into the ocean.
I'd rather sit at home.
- I'm not coming. Buh-bye.
- Hey, Deepa!
Tell me, Anitha.
I just saw your status.
Oh, that? I was out with friends.
So, where are you working now?
Please. I just wrapped up an interview.
What?
Are you still unemployed?
My family doesn't want me
working night shifts.
They won't let me work
in another city, too.
I have no idea what to do.
Can you please let me know
when they start hiring in your company?
Hmm. Okay.
Why don't you swing by
my apartment this evening?
We'll talk about it then. Okay?
- Go on. Talk to her.
- AAnitha.
I want to talk to you, Anitha.
I'm Jeeva.
I've been following you
for three years now.
But you don't seem to care.
I know you know this, Anitha. Anitha?
Oh.
Didn't you hear a word I said?
I don't follow.
Take this, Anitha.
What's this for?
Please. Take this.
Why are you acting like this in public?
Anitha, don't say that.
I've always wanted to talk to you.
But I was afraid and hesitated.
My family wants me to get married.
- So?
- I
I told them I'd only marry you.
If you're fine with it,
I'll ask my folks to talk to yours.
Look, Jeeva. I hate these kinds of things.
I know you've been behind me.
I wanted to talk to you about it.
I've got a lot of commitments.
Don't waste your life
by following me around.
Anitha. Please.
I hope you understood what I said.
What's she saying, buddy?
- She said no.
- What! Did she say that?
Why not freshen up after school?
The food's not going anywhere.
Mom, I'll go and meet Meera.
- Okay.
- Give me 200 rupees, Mom.
I just gave you 200 this morning.
You're asking again?!
Mom, I went to the beach station.
The share auto ride was ten rupees.
From there, I went to Thiruvanmiyur
by train. That costed five rupees.
From there, I took a share auto
to Sholinganallur, which was 20 rupees.
I had to have a tea for my headache.
That costed me 30 rupees.
After the interview, I came back to
Thiruvanmiyur from Sholinganallur.
That share auto ride
costed me 20 rupees.
Enough.
Here.
Hey.
Bye!
- Be back on time.
- Okay.
My bike broke down.
I've taken an auto.
Aren't you my darling? I promise.
I'll be there in ten minutes.
Hey! Where are you now?
Meera asked me to meet her
at her house regarding my job.
- I'm on my way to her house.
- Oh, okay.
- Also, you know the guy who stalks me, right?
- Yeah.
Yesterday, he showed up with a bouquet
and confessed his love.
- What?! He confessed?
- Yeah!
That idiot! He'd have a daughter your age
if he'd married at the right time.
He dyed his hair and shamelessly
goes around with a bouquet.
So? What was your answer to that oldie?
I scolded him.
He won't be coming after me anymore.
Forget about him.
Nobody can make me budge.
Alright. I reached her house.
I'll call you later.
- Okay.
- Okay, bye.
Where are you taking me now?
- Do you really want the job?
- Of course!
- Then be quiet.
- My mom will kill me if I'm late.
You won't be late.
We'll go back in time.
Buddy, look! A chick's sitting alone.
Wait, man. I'll take care.
You
You're Shwetha, right?
- No.
- You're not?
Look! Your nose is on the ground!
- I'll get her before I leave.
- Bro
- He's been spit on by numerous girls.
- I know, man.
He's always been lying like this.
What's up, Anitha?
Guess where I am.
Uh where are you?
Come on. Guess.
At the beach!
What are you doing there at this hour?
I met Meera about my job.
She brought me to this party
to introduce someone.
This place is on another level.
I've seen such situations
only in movies.
So, how's the party?
Everybody's enjoying here.
It's like a whole new world.
But, once I meet Meera's friend
I'll leave.
What?! You'll leave?
Didn't you just call it a whole new world?
Enjoy the party.
As if I can.
I'm already late.
I don't know what to tell Mom.
Mmm okay.
Do as I tell you.
Tell Mom that my parents have gone
to Trichy to meet my brother's fiance.
Tell her that I'm scared to be alone.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Okay, stay on call.
I'll connect Mom to the call. Okay?
Okay.
Hello, Anitha. Hang on.
I'll connect Mom to the call.
Yes, Sapna.
Mom, my parents have gone to Trichy
to meet my brother's fiance.
Nobody's home.
I asked Anitha to stay with me.
But she's scared that you'll scold her.
Will you ask her to stay?
You're alone?
She's near you, right?
Give the phone to her.
Anitha
Mom?
Looks like she's scared to be alone.
Stay with her tonight and
come back early tomorrow.
Okay, Mom.
I'll hang up now. Be safe.
Okay.
That's it, Anitha.
We've got permission. Okay?
Enjoy the party.
Don't forget to call me after the party.
Anitha!
Why're sitting here by yourself?
By the way, he's Pradeep.
Pradeep, this is Anitha.
Hi.
Hi.
Meera told me about your job search.
We have a vacancy in our company.
You can join next month.
Don't you believe me?
You'll get your offer letter next month.
Okay?
Come, let's join the party.
- Come on.
- You heard him. Now, come on.
Here. Have it.
- No, I'm good.
- It's nothing.
- Please. I don't drink.
- Come on. Try it.
It's just wine. Give it a try.
It's just wine, Anitha.
Have some. It's nothing.
It's just wine!
- Come on, Anitha.
- It's just wine. Nothing will happen.
Even I drank now.
Did something happen?
Come on. Drink it.
Go ahead.
Come on. Drink it.
Nothing will happen.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers! Come on!
Drink it all!
Buddy, you're girl's drinking and
partying here.
Yeah. Come quick.
All fun, I'm the party's spark!
You, let's light up the night!
My twin flame, yeah, that's you
Soulmate, babe, me and you!
The booze slides down,
Hits just right!
A buzz unmatched,
Wave sorrows goodbye!
Hearts skip and swim in joy,
In the beer jug, oh my!
Sense slips away,
As magic fills the air!
Swimming, twirling, feeling fly,
All thanks to the booze, oh my!
Whose shoulder do I find?
Just my own, and that's just fine!
To enjoy this paradise spot,
I'm right here
All for you,
To cuddle and cherish!
The high strikes the spot
Slowly, with a grin,
That's another round of fun to spin!
Got a thousand dreams, maybe more
Living life big, no time for tears!
I'm spreading my wings, ready to soar
Can I go beyond the sky?
Let's give it a shot!
Dropping my guard! Yep!
Why do I need them? Not at all!
'Cause courage is right near,
In the booze, let's have no fear!
"What mysteries in a girl's heart lie?"
If someone dares to pry,
Give me a wink, I'll spill the truth
In our hearts, wounds they dwell
Even after drinks, they still swell
Come on, friend,
Let's toast away
And all our painful tales
Let's exchange those
Right or wrong,
Together we'll stride
In happiness or pain,
We'll enjoy the ride
Come on! Show us what you've got
Why did you make her drink so much?
It's not like I poured it in her mouth.
She drank it all like water.
- Careful.
- Open the door.
Come on.
Careful.
Careful, man.
Careful.
Lay her down properly.
Remove her shoes.
Anitha? Anitha?
Damn! She's passed out.
Come on, man.
Sorry, brother.
Anitha? Didn't you sleep last night?
I was at my friend's house, Aunty.
Studying together?
- Yeah.
- Right.
She finished college two years ago.
"Studying together."
Who's she kidding?
A student who returned from China
has tested positive for corona.
Corona virus has
started spreading in India.
A student who returned to Kerala
from China has been tested positive.
Hello?
Tell me, Pradeep.
Sorry, Anitha.
It took a while to get you a job.
There's an opening in my company.
Will you be able to join?
Really?
Is 40,000 per month okay for you?
Thank you so much, Pradeep.
Okay, Anitha.
Bye.
Susi!
- Susi!
- Huh?
- I got a job!
- Really?
Once I get my salary
I'll get you a bigger phone.
You can watch your shows on that.
What about your salary?
Forty thousand!
Where's Mom?
I'll tell her.
Mom!
Hey!
What is it?
Leave me.
Gosh! What is it?
Mom, I got a job!
Wait.
It's not a night shift job, right?
No. It's a day shift job in Chennai.
I'll get 40,000 per month.
You are my darling!
Our difficult times are over.
We can go to that temple.
Or wherever you wish to go.
Okay?
- Dear
- Huh?
Suresh's family is here.
Sit down.
- Please, sit.
- Sit.
- Padma, give them something to eat.
- Brother
No, brother. We've already eaten.
Brother
Visit the factory, brother.
Tell him, Padma.
He never listens.
He keeps thinking about his daughter.
Look at his plight.
We're here for you, Uncle.
Please don't worry.
What are you doing now, dear?
I got a job in TCS.
I have to join next month.
Happy to hear that, dear.
I know how much Suresh struggled
to raise you both.
You should never disgrace your parents.
That's my wish.
Why're you coughing?
What happened?
It's nothing, Uncle.
My throat's been like this
for the past few days.
Go and get it checked, dear.
- Okay?
- Okay, Uncle.
Okay, take care.
Take care, Uncle.
- We'll see you soon, brother.
- Okay.
Don't be scared.
They won't write you an injection.
Mom's right beside you. Okay?
Anitha, please come in.
- I'll be back.
- Okay.
- Yes?
- It's
Lately, I've been feeling dizzy.
I am getting tired quickly.
I'm feeling lightheaded.
I feel suffocated.
Do you have regular periods?
I have thyroid problems.
- So, for the past three years, it's irregular.
- Okay.
When was your last thyroid test?
Six months back.
When was your last period?
- January fourth or fifth.
- Okay.
Give me your hand.
Did you bring your thyroid test reports?
No, Doctor.
But I've been taking Levothyroxine, 15mg.
Okay.
Get inside and lie down.
Let's do a pelvic exam.
Let's leave.
Praveen, can you
do a recharge for me?
- Okay, sister. See you.
- See you.
Gosh! What a crowd that was!
It's not like it's the last day.
Hey, where's Anitha?
She's inside.
Okay.
- Nikki!
- What?
- Aren't you my darling? Take this inside.
- Okay, Mom.
Anitha!
Hey!
- Mom?
- What did the Doctor say?
It's nothing, Mom.
It's just a viral infection in the throat.
- Oh.
- The doctor gave me medicines.
She told me I'll be alright.
- Okay. Did you take the tablets?
- Yeah, Mom.
Throw that phone away and
rest for some time.
Okay.
She keeps using the damn phone.
Good afternoon, ma'am.
You're here for?
I'm here for a pregnancy test.
Your name?
S. Anitha.
Have a seat and drink this water.
Tell us when your bladder's full.
We'll call you. Please sit down.
Get inside and lie down.
Let's do a pelvic exam.
Okay, madam.
Remove your panties as well.
When did you say your last period was?
January.
Are you married?
- No.
- Are you in a relationship?
Why do you ask?
I think you are pregnant.
The minute I checked your pulse,
I confirmed it.
- I did a pelvic test to make sure of it.
- I but
But how is it possible?
I'm not married.
But you need not be married
to get pregnant.
I didn't mean it that way.
One must have had a physical relationship
to get pregnant, right?
Nothing like that happened to me.
Let's take a scan to confirm it.
Are you trying to scam me?
I told you.
I'm not pregnant.
Anitha.
Let's go upstairs for the scan.
Come on.
Congratulations!
Look!
It's good news.
You're ten weeks pregnant.
You can see the baby's growth.
The heartbeat is normal.
The baby is healthy.
You can also see the heart rate.
Okay. Wait outside.
We'll give you the report.
Anitha your reports.
What the hell?
It says you are ten weeks pregnant.
I, too, don't understand.
How did you get pregnant
without your knowledge?
Who was it?
You better tell me now.
Why would I lie to you?
Even I didn't know I'm pregnant.
That day, when I went to the party
with Meera
Something must have happened there.
How can you be so sure?
I didn't stay anywhere else.
Hey, someone got on top of you.
Didn't you feel a thing?
I passed out after drinking.
It took me two days to get sober.
I wanted to tell you. But
Okay, come. Let's go to the police.
What good do you think
will come out of that?
We'll find out who did it.
Are you going to get us married?
My parents will know
if we go to the police.
If they know, I'm dead.
Okay, look.
Look at me.
Get up. Let's go to the doctor.
Come.
Come on.
He shouldn't escape.
If we check the resort's CCTV
he'll get caught.
There were about
300 people at that party.
How will we find him?
When I told you
that you were pregnant
didn't you say you're not married and
haven't been physical with anyone?
Now, even the reports confirmed it.
No, Doctor.
She's not what you think.
It was an accident.
This will blow up if her family
know about this.
Please, Doctor. You have to help us.
I've been hearing the same story.
- Doctor, help her abort this baby.
- What?!
How can you ask for an abortion
after doing everything?
Don't you see the advertisements?
Is it so difficult to get
a contraceptive from a medical shop?
Doctor, please. You can help her if you
really want to.
I can't take that risk.
Sorry. You can consult someone else.
Who else can we go to?
- Can you refer someone?
- That's not my job.
Moorthi!
Doctor, please.
My family will be destroyed. I beg you.
- Moorthi!
- Please!
Get them out of here.
- Hey, what's happening?
- Doctor, please!
- What is this?
- I'm not the kind of girl you think.
Please, Doctor. Please.
- Get out of here.
- Hey, hands off of her.
Get out of here.
- How many times should I tell you?
- Leave her.
Is this a hospital or what?
- Get out.
- Get out of here.
Pay 95 rupees.
- Yes?
- Here you go.
What do you want? Tell me.
Huh?
Can we get tablets for abortion?
We don't have tablets for that.
We heard that
we'll get it in medical shops.
We don't have it here.
Ask somewhere else.
Brother
Please, help us. Please.
What do you know about abortion?
One wrong tablet and
you'll lose your life.
I don't want to go to jail
after helping you.
You need a prescription for those tablets.
You need to submit your ID proof.
Only then you'll get those tablets.
If we have a prescription,
will we get it?
Get the prescription.
We'll see.
Of course, I'll do it.
Bring your parents and I'll do it.
Doctor, it'll be a huge problem
if her parents find out.
Please help us, Doctor.
But I can't take this risk.
It might become
a problem for me.
I don't know what to do, Doctor.
I beg you. Please.
Leave, or I'll call the police.
Anitha
We're home.
We'll deal with this,
come what may.
Go home now.
Don't think about anything.
Don't say a word to anyone.
Okay?
I'm terrified of going home.
I'm here for you, Anitha.
Why are you worried?
Will we get the tablets tomorrow?
Of course, we'll get it.
Don't leave me.
Don't worry.
We'll definitely get the tablets tomorrow.
Hey.
Be brave.
It'll be alright.
Come on. Stop crying.
Hey
I'm right here.
Don't cry.
- Go home and rest.
- Okay.
To prevent corona virus
from spreading further
a nationwide 21-day quarantine has
been announced.
The Prime Minister has requested people
not to leave their homes.
Tamil Nadu goes into lockdown to prevent
the spread of the virus.
Authorities advice against
gathering at grocery stores.
Sapna
The lockdown was
just for two days, right?
Now they've extended it
to three weeks.
I'm scared, Sapna.
I just saw the news.
What are we going to do?
Anitha?
Anitha?
Lockdown extended
till the 30th in Tamil Nadu.
Section 144 will continue
to remain in effect.
Government invokes medical committee
findings.
Anitha?
Anitha. Come here.
Anitha!
I need you to wash the clothes.
I'm on my way, Mom.
- Give me my phone! Give it back!
- I just want to play a game.
- Please, sis. Just this once.
- Give me my phone!
Mom
How many times do I tell you
not to use my phone!
Mom!
What's all that commotion?
Hey, why are you crying?
She hit me for using her phone, Mom!
- Did you do that for a phone?
- She's hiding something, Mom.
What's your problem?
Why did you hit her?
She's just a kid!
My official files are in there.
What if I lose them?
What's the big deal
about these documents?
That does not concern you!
Don't touch my phone.
She's not a baby
to delete them by mistake!
Look, you've been acting odd lately.
You're always on your phone.
You get annoyed for no reason.
What's wrong?
You better behave. This isn't right.
Hey, why are you messing around
with her phone?
Go, now.
Look. You've spent enough time
on your phone today.
Come and do your chores!
Yeah, I'm coming.
I wonder what's the big deal.
All my dreams are broken apart,
Now questions linger in my heart
My pain keeps rising,
My heart won't rest
Searching for a way out,
I stumble and fall
Every path I take is lined with thorns
When will I reach the shore I seek
My tears keep flowing,
My heart grows weak
Born a woman, fate takes its test,
A thousand hurdles on her quest
Peace has vanished, none to be found
Dark clouds linger all around
Whom shall I tell this pain I bear?
It's my fate, my cross to wear
How do I live with this stain on my name?
How do I live again?
It's my mistake that my fate's twisted
The legs that once knew rhythm and art
Now run in fear, with a trembling heart
Born a woman, fate takes its test,
A thousand hurdles on her quest
Peace has vanished, none to be found
Dark clouds linger all around
Brother!
We need to talk to you, brother.
Hey, didn't I tell you I can't help?
Why are you following me?
We were never able to get the medicines.
Please help us.
We don't know anyone else besides you.
Please help us. Please.
- Who needs it?
- She does.
- Make a note of this number.
- Okay, go ahead.
I told you to be careful.
Did you listen, then?
- But you kept quiet then.
- What did you expect?
You must've mixed sedatives in her drink.
That's why she was quiet.
Here. You forgot the tablets.
Get lost now.
- Keep leaving things behind.
- Hey.
- Are you trying to get her number?
- No, sir. You just performed her abortion.
Okay. Get back to work.
So you were the ones who called?
- Yes, sir.
- Who's the patient?
- I am.
- How many months?
Three and a half months.
Thirty thousand rupees.
Thirty thousand?
Get a prescription.
We can buy the medicines outside.
Sir, give her a prescription.
We'll buy it elsewhere.
You want me to land up in jail
for giving you a prescription?
Do you understand her situation?
Three and a half months.
She needs surgery to save her life.
The 30,000 is for saving your life.
Understand that?
- Okay, sir. Okay.
- Get that ready first.
Get going.
Come on.
Hey, he wants 30,000 rupees!
Forget the cost. We need his help now.
How much do you have?
I have five thousand rupees.
Okay, come on.
Let's make arrangements.
- Suganya?
- Hey, hang on. Just a minute.
Do you have any cash saved up?
I don't have anything now, Anitha.
I depend on guys for favors.
Please. I'll call you back in the evening.
Why are you asking around for money?
Why do you need money now?
My friend's dad has contracted COVID.
They've admitted him to a hospital.
She wanted some help.
That's why I'm calling my friends.
Here's five thousand rupees. Take it.
Hand it over to your friend.
I was saving it to get a phone.
Pay me later.
- Sapna.
- Tell me.
- I've got 15,000 rupees.
- I have 5,000 rupees with me.
- That makes it 20,000. I need another 10,000.
- Okay.
Let's meet the doctor and talk to him.
What's this? Huh?
This is the best we could do.
Don't you know how difficult it is
to get medicines during the lockdown?
I'm taking a huge risk
by performing an abortion on her.
But you want to bargain with me.
Sir, please take it and help her.
You think I'm running a charity here?
I can perform a safe abortion
only if you pay me 30,000.
Otherwise, we're done talking.
You can leave.
What do we do?
- Okay, sir. We'll get another ten thousand ready.
- Okay.
- Hey, Abhayam!
- What is it?
Wait a second.
- Leave the money on the table.
- Sorry, sir.
- Hand this over to my other wife.
- Okay, sir.
Bring the rest of the money soon.
Let's get going.
Give me twelve!
- Yay! A five.
- Would you look at that?
Gosh, that was a flop roll!
- Mom, it's your turn.
- Grandma, roll it.
Show Sudha what you've got.
I'll show you all.
Happy?
- Roll a six now.
- Anitha, dear.
- Where were you?
- I went to the pharmacy.
We were trying to find you
for a while now.
- You didn't get a six!
- Okay.
as numbers continue to
rise through the country.
Yay!
What have you done?
- It's your turn now.
- She ends up playing volleyball instead.
Hi, Pradeep.
How are you?
Call me when you are free.
It's an emergency.
- Hello, Pradeep.
- Sorry, Anitha.
I just heard your voice message.
Tell me, Anitha.
Pradeep, I have a favor to ask.
Tell me, Anitha.
Please don't take this the wrong way. I've
got a lot of financial trouble at home.
Dad doesn't have a job now.
That's why
- How much do you need?
- Ten thousand will be helpful now.
Okay. I'll send it now.
Is this your Gpay number?
- Yes, Pradeep.
- I'll send it now. Bye.
Thank you so much, Pradeep.
Hey, why have they barricaded the place?
Stop. Are you here to meet someone?
- Sir, we need to go inside.
- That's not possible.
There's a COVID patient inside.
- We want to meet Dr. Ravichandran.
- Dr. Ravichandran is down with corona.
- He's not here. He's at the camp.
- What are you saying, sir?
- When will he be back?
- No idea, lady. But wear your mask first.
Anitha. Anitha!
What do we do now?
- Why do I have to go through all this?
- Don't cry.
I'll call the doctor now.
Hello. Hello? Doctor?
We came to your clinic the other day.
Remember?
Hello. Doctor? Hello?
Just because it's banned here, these guys
are charging a bomb for bootlegged booze.
- I thought I could buy it
- Sapna, stop!
- And they don't even sell it.
- It's the compounder.
Abhayam brother?
How do you know my name?
Who are you?
- We came to the clinic.
- Oh! That 20,000?
The doctor tried to chase away the virus
by chanting, "Go, corona, go!"
But he contracted the coronavirus.
His house has been barricaded.
They're looking for me, too.
I gave them the slip, though.
- What's your problem?
- When will the doctor be back?
That's a little uncertain right now.
We had paid him 20,000.
You can wave goodbye to it.
- Brother.
- What is it?
- Please, brother.
- I know your problem.
Do you need my help?
Your help?
Don't you know?
We know things doctors aren't aware of.
He knows the medicines, but only
we know how to turn that into business.
All I need is four tablets
to pump your stomach clean.
- But he said she needed surgery.
- You're so gullible.
He said that to mint money from you.
Otherwise, would people cough up
30,000 for a bunch of tablets?
- Don't trust him. All's not lost, though.
- He sounds sketchy.
Give me the 10,000.
I'll get you those tablets.
I think he's trying to
pull a fast one on us.
Oh. Still don't trust me?
Go to the doctor. See you.
Just a minute.
Hey, what are you doing?
Look, this won't work out
if you don't trust me.
Just mention my name in Kakkathoppu
and people will lead you to my house.
Please, brother.
- Get me those tablets.
- Right. I'll get you those.
Call me by ten tomorrow morning.
I'll have it ready by then.
- Just a minute.
- What?
Give me your number.
My number?
- 9500095000.
- You should have a missed call from me.
That's your number? Got it.
- Fine. Call me tomorrow at 10.
- Okay.
- Dear.
- Hm.
Anitha goes out frequently.
She keeps telling us
she's visiting friends.
Something's not right with her.
It's not what you think.
She keeps snapping back all the time.
She can't put that phone down.
Can you talk to her?
Okay. I'll get you some coffee.
I called him like ten times since morning.
He just won't answer!
I'm starting to doubt this.
Get the white after pocketing this red.
It's easy.
- Okay. Okay.
- Brother.
- Is there anyone named Abhayam here?
- Abhayam?
Why are you joking around
at this hour, lady?
- Your turn. Now, play.
- Ask them.
He told us he was well-known
in the Kakkathoppu locality.
He works as a compounder.
There's no one by that name here.
- You know anyone here by that name?
- Not to my knowledge, brother.
We don't know anyone by that name.
- Don't know him?
- Pocket that red now.
- Let's go.
- Powder up the board.
I knew he was a fraud!
I told you not to trust that guy!
But you didn't listen to me.
We're penniless now!
- What do we do now?
- Why don't you come up with a plan?
Hey. What are they doing
out at this hour?
Looking for some booze, maybe?
- Why are they following us?
- Yeah, she's quite the booze-hound.
Why are you following me now?
Didn't I tell you I don't like you?
Hey, stop acting like a saint!
I saw how wasted you were
at the party the other night.
Don't act innocent now.
She has every right to do what she wants.
What's your problem?
- Shut up and get lost.
- Hey, who do you think you are?
- Let's go.
- Buzz off.
- I'll complain to the police.
- The hell you would. Get lost!
- You get lost, you punk!
- Don't get into a fight with them.
- I told you this wouldn't work out.
- I fell for her like a dunce.
- How does he know about the party?
- You got a light?
- You don't?
- I think he might have done it.
Let's tell your mother what happened.
What's the worst that could happen?
Maybe she'd yell or thrash you?
We can deal with that.
What do I tell her?
That I went to a party and got drunk?
That I danced after getting drunk
and passed out?
That I don't know
who's responsible for this?
That I'm three and half
months pregnant now?
What would she think of me?
Wouldn't she think that
I'm promiscuous?
How could I look her in the eye?
I don't understand what to do, Anitha.
The pharmacy wants a prescription.
Doctors are threatening
to go to the police.
Despite all this,
we found a guy who was ready to help.
But he's down with COVID now.
And that compounder
took off with the money.
- I don't know what to do. I'm confused.
- Hey.
- Where are you now?
- I'm on my way, Mom.
Go.
Where were you?
At Sapna's house, Mom.
Is it?
I called Sapna's mom.
She said you both weren't at home.
What were you two up to?
Hey, aren't you scared at all?
There's a pandemic out there.
And there are elders in our house.
You're irresponsible.
I know all that.
I'm having a headache.
Please leave me alone, Mom.
Please.
- Please.
- How dare you?
You keep avoiding my questions.
Who are you going out with?
Stop talking nonsense.
What do you want now?
How dare you talk back?
- What?
- Why are you shouting like this?
Do I look like I'm shouting?
I'll give you a tight slap.
God! You're killing me.
Get lost.
Get out.
Get out, Mom!
I'll show her.
I've been too easy on her.
I'll show her who I am.
You!
- How dare you talk back.
- What?!
Can't you answer me properly?
I'll show you.
- What are you thinking of yourself?
- Mom! Stop, Mom! Stop!
- Do you even have an ounce of respect?
- Leave her, Mom!
- Don't do it!
- Don't stop me.
- Where did you find the courage?
- Just kill me. Go ahead.
Hey, Sudha. Stop!
- Hey, stop.
- Leave me.
- Are you mad?
- Yes. I am.
She's become so bold these days.
Ask her what she's up to.
Hey, stop. Hey!
Whom did you go out with?
- I'll kill you.
- Stop it.
Rascal.
How many times
should I tell you to stop?
Why do you keep hitting her?
Do whatever you want.
I don't care.
Do you want us to die?
Should we hang ourselves?
Do as you please.
Leave me.
Dear?
Careful.
My dear?
Anitha
Anitha?
Whatever the problem is,
you can tell me, okay?
Okay? Niketha.
Bring her some water.
Why do you have to go out, dear?
Stay home for now.
Keep an eye on our girls.
I I would've died then!
Leave, or I'll call the police.
One wrong tablet and
you'll lose your life.
Ravichandran is down with corona.
DAD!
DAD!
Oh, God!
Dad!
Dad!
- Oh, God! Anitha!
- My God!
- Anitha! What have you done?
- God!
- Anitha!
- Help! Somebody, help!
Bring a knife.
Anitha!
Why? Why did you?
Anitha!
Why did you do this, dear?
Here. Drink this.
How could you do this, my dear?
- It's alright.
- You could've told me, dear.
Cast off the evil eye on her first.
Your wish, then.
Don't leave her alone, brother.
Stay with her.
God! It's my fault.
I won't hit you again. I promise.
Look at me. Look at me, dear.
I told you.
She's going out with someone.
She would've done something
and gotten caught.
- I'm sure.
- HEY! FOOL!
- Why did you hit me?
- What are you blabbering?
That girl did this because of you.
If you talk about her again,
I'll kill you.
Yes, Mom?
Hey
Does she love someone?
No, Mom. What happened?
Hey
She tried to hang herself today.
What? She tried to commit suicide?!
Listen. If I find out,
you'll be in trouble!
Tell me the truth.
No, Mom. There's nothing like that.
Okay, Mom.
I'll try calling her.
Hey.
Why are you telling this to everyone?
It's just that
I think she's in love with someone.
What?
Yes, dear.
Our neighbor, Madhumitha, told me.
She saw Anitha talking with a guy.
Did you see her talking?
No. I'm guessing from what she told me.
Is that why you hit her with a broom?
Okay.
Don't ask her anything.
I'll ask her.
Get up, dear. Take a shower.
I saw how wasted you were
at the party the other night.
Don't act innocent now.
You're Shwetha, right?
We have a vacancy in our company.
You can join next month.
Come on, let's party.
It's just wine. Give it a try.
How much do you want?
Do you love someone, dear?
It's just
Your mom told me
that you were talking with a boy.
No, Dad. It's not what you think.
Then why did you try to kill yourself?
Sorry, Dad.
I won't do that again.
Did you decide to leave us all behind?
Huh?
Aren't you scared?
How many times do I tell you?
Leave.
What's going on?
Close it, sir.
Sir, don't worry.
It'll be alright.
Let's go.
Can't you hear us?
Stop standing in crowds here.
Ask them to close their shops.
I'll close it now, sir.
Hey, close the shop.
Everyone living here should get tested
for COVID at the arts college.
If anyone falls sick,
don't hesitate to call this number.
- Hey, you can't go inside.
- I'll just stand here.
Anitha!
Come here.
Why did you attempt suicide?
Are you that bold?
Tell me. Why did you do it?
Do I have another way?
Tell me.
Some rabid dog wronged me
and I'm bearing the cross here.
I keep getting nauseous.
My stomach keeps growing.
I don't know when I'll get caught.
I'm dying every day.
So I decided to end it all.
What about your parents?
Did you think about them?
What will they do if the post-mortem
discloses your pregnancy?
Think about it.
Okay.
Promise me.
Swear that you won't act stupid again.
Promise me.
I won't do anything.
I've spoken to the doctor.
He'll be back in ten days.
Okay?
I can't step out for a month.
I'm here for you, Anitha.
Oh, beautiful flower
Stop shedding tears
You have to lift yourself up
No one else will
Keep running in your path
Don't stray
Swim fearlessly
The shore's waiting
This world is vile
Everyone here is a sinner
Some know it all
Some live in ignorance
There's no one here
Who's all good or all bad
Know this truth
And keep living, my dear
A beautiful rose plant
It has its thorns
That doesn't mean its fragrance is lost
Moon may look hidden
It grows and wanes
But it doesn't mean it vanished
This is the truth
Don't forget
Don't let your sadness
Eat you up
You've lived in silence long enough,
It's time to rise
Know your path, walk in it
All your pain will vanish
- Yes, Sapna?
- Anitha.
Listen to me,
and don't get shocked.
What happened?
We gave 20 thousand to a doctor, right?
He died from COVID.
What?
Yeah. I just called him.
His wife answered.
I told her about the money we gave him.
But she's not ready to listen.
She's asking for a receipt.
I don't know what to tell her.
Hello?
Some know this truth
Some live in ignorance
There's no one here
Who's all good or all bad
Understand this truth
Keep on living
- Dad, you got a call.
- Who is it?
No idea, Dad.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Yeah?
Okay.
When?
Wh what?
What happened?
- Dad?
- What is it?
- What happened?
- What's wrong?
- Why're you crying?
- What's wrong, Dad?
Why are you crying?
What is it?
Mom! Come here.
- Tell us.
- Mom
Dear? What's wrong?
What happened?
- Brother and his wife hung themselves.
- Oh, God!
God!
They thought staying here would
remind them of their daughter.
So they left for their village
to live peacefully.
God!
But all the people in their village
insulted them
for what their daughter did.
Not being able to bear it
they ended it all.
That wretched girl!
She destroyed that family!
She'll end up on the streets.
She'll burn in hell.
Do you want to get an abortion, too?
- No.
- Then?
It's for her.
What?!
You still didn't get it done?
We saw the doctor you told us.
He took 20,000 from us for the abortion.
But he died due to COVID.
His compounder promised to get the tablets
and took 10,000 from us.
But he cheated us, too.
We don't know what to do now.
Also, one of her neighbors
contracted COVID.
Her area was put under barricades.
She couldn't step out.
- That's why.
- It's four and a half months now.
Please help us, brother.
We don't know anyone.
Tablets won't work anymore.
You have to get a surgery.
But it's too risky.
Please. Leave me alone.
Sir, sir. Please.
- Please, sir.
- What are you doing?
- What will people think?
- Listen to me, sir.
You're our only hope now.
I have nothing to do
with this pregnancy.
I went to meet my friend
at a party regarding a job.
I drank because she forced me.
I don't know what happened after that.
I swear, sir.
Believe it or not.
But this is the truth.
- Hey, what's going on there?
- Please.
I beg you, sir.
Please help me.
Hey, why are you standing here?
Don't wait here.
Keep moving.
Sir, please.
- Hello?
- Sir, I need a favor.
My friend needs to get an abortion.
- You won't let me rest even now?
- It's not like that.
Okay. Ask her to meet me.
Okay, sir.
- Note down this number.
- Why are you still standing here?
- Leave.
- We're leaving, sir.
Give me the number, sir.
- The number?
- 811
009-36-35.
- Don't delay any further.
- Okay.
If he asks, tell him it's
three and a half months.
They won't do it if you're
four and a half months pregnant.
Okay? Go and meet him soon.
- Thank you, sir.
- Take care.
Brother, we've reached the location.
Where are you?
I'm at the location, too.
Oh, God! This guy?
Come on. Let's leave.
No.
We don't have any choice besides him.
Keep quiet.
He's already pissed at me.
He'll tell my parents!
- Let's go.
- Hey.
You're four and a half months pregnant.
We don't have a choice now.
You keep quiet.
I know what to do.
Stay silent.
Sir
- Did you call me?
- Yes, sir.
How many months?
Three and a half months.
It'll cost you 75,000.
Seventy-five thousand?!
A doctor told us
he'll do it for 30,000.
So get him to do it then.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
One minute, sir.
Uh
Can you do it for 40,000?
Fifty thousand is my final offer.
What? Is that okay?
Okay, sir.
I'll get the money ready and call you.
- Okay then. Call me.
- Okay, sir.
That fraud is asking for
50,000 rupees.
True love, it seems.
How are we going to get
that much money?
We have to do it somehow.
We don't have a choice.
What is it, Anitha?
Meera, I'm having some health issues.
Can you lend me 20,000
for my treatment?
Okay. Call me tomorrow morning.
I'll transfer it to you.
- Thanks a lot.
- Okay. Bye.
She promised to transfer
the money tomorrow morning.
Dad, shall I bring you
another dosa?
- Enough, dear.
- What about you, grandma?
No, dear. I'll make it myself.
Hello, Meera?
This is Anitha.
It's hello?
The number you've called
is currently busy.
will redeem your jewellery
and will take it for its market value.
No matter where your jewels are pawned,
Maha Gold will redeem it for you.
They buy it for its market price
and you'll get your money immediately.
Suresh brother.
- Yeah. I'm coming.
- Let's go.
Dial 044-4545-4545.
Nikitha, where's Mom?
She's bathing.
Sapna, the money's ready.
Come to the temple near my house.
Okay?
Are you the one who called me?
Yes, sir.
Give me the bangles.
How much do you need?
Fifty thousand.
It's only 16.17 grams.
This won't get you
fifty thousand rupees.
If you sell it,
you'll get 50 thousand.
Are you okay with that?
Yeah.
I need a photo.
Remove your mask.
There's 50 thousand rupees here.
Check it.
Thank you, brother.
Come. Let's go.
Where's your bike?
My brother is not giving me the keys.
He doesn't want me to
go out in this pandemic.
For whom?
It's for me, Doctor.
Give me the cash.
How many months?
Three and a half.
What's your blood group?
B - positive.
Do you have blood pressure?
I don't know.
Do you have any medication allergies?
No.
Come inside.
You wait here.
Lift your dress.
How many months did you say
you were pregnant?
Three and a half months.
It doesn't look like it.
Looks like you are
five months pregnant.
No, Doctor.
It's three and a half months.
Okay. Come.
Let's check.
It says that you're
five months pregnant.
No, Doctor.
- It's just three and a half months.
- No. You're lying.
Look.
This is risky.
I won't do it.
Doctor
Clean up and come outside.
Doctor
Doctor, please!
Leave.
- Doctor, please. Listen to me.
- Anitha
What happened?
He's angry we hid the truth
and isn't willing to take the risk.
Let's talk to him. Come on.
Hey, Jeeva
You told me she's
three and a half months pregnant.
But the scan shows that
she's five months pregnant.
I told you what she told me.
No, bro. This is risky.
I can't do it.
I returned their money and
asked them to leave.
Why did you do that?
Ask one lakh from them.
Okay.
I'll ask for one lakh.
Let's stick to the same story
if they call. Okay?
Okay, man.
- Okay. I'll call you later.
- Okay.
Don't forget my commission, man.
I won't, man.
Hang up now.
Why are you still here?
Doctor
The one who referred you
He asked me to say
I'm three and a half months pregnant.
Then get it done from him.
Doctor, please.
I want you both to leave.
LEAVE.
Take this money and help me, Doctor.
Please.
Give me one lakh.
I'll do it.
One lakh?!
Yeah.
I had to steal and sell
my mom's bangle for this money.
Where will I go for that much money?
That's your problem.
Sir, you asked for 50 thousand.
Why are you charging more now?
Help her get an abortion now, sir.
I'll get you your money in a week.
Trust me, sir. Please.
Why should I trust you?
I don't even know you.
You'll vanish after the abortion.
Do you expect me to
beg you for the rest of the money?
Heartless guy.
What did you say?
Come again.
I didn't say anything.
I'm heartless?!
You are the idiots here.
Look.
Watch your words.
Hey
Now you want respect, eh?
You'll happily sleep around
and you want me to clean your womb?
That's not my job.
Get out!
Did you see us sleeping around?
- Huh?
- Oh.
It's not my job
to check whom you sleep with.
Listen. Don't talk rubbish
and humiliate yourself.
Don't act chaste.
Get out.
You moron!
- I'll break your face if you keep talking.
- Shut up. Shut the hell up.
- I'll show you who I am.
- Why do you need one lakh now?
- Whom do you...
- Dad
Anitha?
Why did you need money so badly
that you went and sold our bangles?
Where are you?
Hello?
Hello?
Dad?
- Dad?
- Hello?
Hello?
- She hung up.
- She hung up?
- God!
- She hung up?
Gosh! She's gone.
She humiliated us and ran away.
I'll bring the police.
- I'll get you locked up.
- Shut up.
- How dare you talk to us like that?
- Get out. Get the hell out!
As if she'll bring the police.
I'll show you who I am.
- What?
- Sapna, stop. Stop it.
This is not the time to fight.
- We shouldn't let him go, Anitha.
- My parents found out about the bangles.
We're out of options now.
You stay here.
I'll talk to him.
Doctor
Sorry, Doctor.
She spoke out of anger.
Sorry.
- Please forgive us.
- I wanted to help you.
But you'll report me
to the police, huh?
Listen to me carefully.
Even if you give me ten lakhs,
I won't help with your abortion.
Get lost.
Sorry, Doctor.
Do you really think
we'll go to the police?
She talked out of anger.
- Leave.
- Doctor, please.
- I don't have a choice, Doctor.
- I've got work.
- You have to help me.
- Gosh! Leave me alone.
- Let me go, woman.
- Please. I beg you.
Please, Doctor.
Listen to me.
You have to help me, Doctor.
I don't have a choice.
- Help me, Doctor.
- Hey, let go.
If my family knows
they'll kill themselves.
Please, Doctor.
My family will be destroyed, Doctor.
Please help me.
Get up.
I don't know what to do.
Please help me, Doctor.
I'll help you. Stand up.
- Stand up.
- Please, Doctor.
Please.
Please.
Mom
Mom, I have to tell you something.
What is it?
Anitha was asking for money
from everyone.
I don't know why.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
- I was scared to tell you.
- Gosh!
Stop crying.
Wipe those tears.
God! Even Sapna isn't picking up.
Have these tablets.
I'm going to insert the tablet.
It'll take up to ten hours maximum.
If that doesn't work,
you'll need surgery.
I don't want to undergo surgery, Doctor.
I'll try my best.
You're five months in already.
Let's wait. I'm going
to insert the tablet now.
Stay in bed. Call me if there's any pain.
I'll wait outside.
Anitha?
Everything will be fine.
Stay strong.
Okay?
- Does it hurt?
- A little bit.
- I can feel the pain.
- Oh.
You wait outside. Go! You heard me.
I'm outside. Call me if you need anything.
Push now. Push harder.
Push harder. Apply pressure now.
More pressure.
A bit more. That's it.
Push harder. Push!
Do you want to see?
Refer your friends.
We can work out the price.
- Tell me.
- I'll send you 10,000 rupees online. Okay?
Okay, fine.
Bro, had you been a real doctor,
you could've sold ice to Eskimos.
What difference does it make?
It's not like doctors would do this.
I'm doing a compounder's work
like a doctor.
- Okay. See you.
- Okay.
Not bad. He performed the abortion
for 50,000 despite wanting 1,00,000.
I thought he wouldn't do it.
Turns out he was a good doctor all along.
I think I jumped the gun
when I yelled at him.
Anitha?
What's wrong?
Everything went well.
Why are you crying now?
Don't cry.
Anitha?
Anitha?
I'll do it if you agree.
I don't understand, Doctor.
I'll perform the abortion
if you're willing to sleep with me.
I'm not compelling you.
If you don't want to, that's fine.
You are free to leave.
Our daughters are well-behaved.
Mom, I got a job!
You should never disgrace your parents.
Sorry, Dad. I won't do that again.
Sudha. Keep an eye on our girls.
Brother was able to put up with it.
I I would've died then!
Eyes filled with tears of agony
I'm left stranded and forsaken
In this world,
Solace is a distant dream
The age of darkness,
Where dawn never breaks
In a cruel world,
Where we fight fire with fire
No mistake comes undone
By committing yet another one
Don't weep, weary heart
Hey, Jeeva. What a babe, man.
That was awesome.
- What do you mean?
- Yes!
It was mind-blowing!
She was exquisite.
Chastity's not just hers,
It's his to bear as well
Aren't women as sacred
As the gods we tell?
No time to dwell on pain
Rise up, face each tomorrow
That rabid dog!
I'll break his rotten face.
As pain keeps growing in our heart
Eyes become the ocean of tears
Have courage in your heart
It'll make your path clear
No matter what your burn
Tears or garbage
That will not change fire's strength
You are like fire
