Meendum Savithri (1996) Movie Script
Where do you want to go?
- Thiruvanmiyur.
This auto is going to Parry's,
it won't go to Thiruvanmiyur.
Please get down.
- We can't go where you go.
You have to take us
where we want to go.
Take me to Thiruvanmiyur.
- Do you think you own this auto?
When the government gave you
license for it to be here,...
...it became a public vehicle.
Take me to Thiruvanmiyur.
Get down!
- I will, I don't plan...
...to run a family here with you.
I'll get down in Thiruvanmiyur.
Parthiba, what's the problem?
- I said I can't go...
...to Thiruvanmiyur,
she's insisting I take her there.
Sister, we won't get
any passengers on our way back.
We have to come without
any passengers until Adyar.
So, take a bus there.
Brother!
- Brother?
Yes, you called me sister.
So, you're my brother, right?
I take the bus every day.
Today, I'm in a hurry.
So, I got into this auto.
Tell your friend to go fast.
The auto belongs to the inspector.
I'm not taking you.
You must take me.
Do you know who I am?
Deputy Commissioner, Traffic,
Deenadayal, I'm his daughter.
Take me to Thiruvanmiyur.
I won't give it to you!
- I'll kill you!
Don't hit me!
Women love gold.
The husband needs money.
Why can't she give her jewels?
- He wants money to drink.
Why would she give?
- Really?
Stop it! Things will be different
if you hit her again.
Do you know who I am?
- I don't care who you are.
Aren't you ashamed?
How can you hit a woman like this?
She is my wife.
- You only have right to hug her.
You have no right to hit her
- I'll hit or hug my wife.
Who are you to question me?
- Judge Sadhasiva Iyer's daughter.
Judge Sadhasiva Iyer?
Vanakkam. Let's go home.
Listen, let's go home.
Children, let's go.
Have you
seen the couple fighting?
Two women are fighting
on the other lane.
Go and watch them!
It's impossible
to change them.
Will you get me wrong?
- Why?
I have a doubt.
- What is it?
You told me you were
Deenadayal's daughter.
To the drunkard, you said you were
Judge Sadhasiva Iyer' daughter.
Yes.
- I don't get you.
Only men can have two wives?
Can't women have two husbands?
My mother's first husband
is Judge Sadhasiva Iyer.
Her second husband, Deputy
Commissioner, Traffic, Deenadayal.
Why are you confused?
Let's go.
Aunty, take some flowers.
I'm not here to bless the couple,
I came to stop it.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I need to speak to you alone.
- Why? Who are you?
Mythili's friend.
- Which Mythili?
Your grandma.
- Are you joking?
You played with Mythili.
Can we talk alone for a minute?
I'll talk to Mythili later.
- When?
I'm her power of attorney.
I was her classmate,...
...to question the man
who slept with her.
I don't mind
if you lock the doors.
But you need
to know something.
I'm district collector,
Paramanantham's daughter.
Ten constables are here
with me in plain clothes.
They can break the door open.
Fine, Mythili felt it was okay
to have premarital sex.
So, she slept with me.
I wasn't sure I was the first.
Because of the doubt,
I started disliking her.
You should have had the doubt
before you took her...
...to the hotel in Mahabalipuram.
You violated
the girl who loved you.
You're not going to be true
to the girl you're going to marry.
Is this fair?
Those days,
women carried man in baskets.
Women nowadays
take men to court.
You shouldn't get the life
that Mythili was denied.
Are you going to stop the wedding?
- It's over, you fool!
May God bless you.
Step back!
Someone called to report a fire.
Who called us?
I did.
- But I don't see any fire.
Just a minute. Get your water,
the water tanker is here.
Calm down.
- This is too much!
Must you call the fire department
if you want water to drink?
No, I called Metrowater thrice.
They didn't come, what am I to do?
So must you call the fire engine?
- For you, this is a fire engine.
For us, it is a water tanker.
Stop it! Don't you know you should
not call the fire department...
...if there is no fire.
We can call if there is a fire
or if we are upset.
Why are you upset?
- The poor as we have no water.
You can't tap water
from a fire engine.
People are stopping
rail engines to tap water.
Why can't we take water
from a fire engine?
You're right.
So, you started this?
Do you know what will happen...
...if I call the police now?
- What? I'll be jailed.
Didn't Gandhi, Nehru
and Anna go to jail?
All that went in are not devils,
not everyone outside are angels.
The good is unfortunate,
many of them are inside.
The bad is fortunate,
many of them are outside.
Bad police make
good people become evil.
Good police make
bad people repent.
I've taken your key.
If you touch me,...
...I'll report to the police
that you molested me.
Give us water.
Ask him to behave.
This is his last warning.
I've seen three inspectors who
said that to me in this station.
They were transferred out.
Ask him, he'll know.
But no one could change me.
- Can you keep quiet?
If all of us keep quiet,
who is going to help the victims?
Are you Dr. Ambedkar or Anna
to help the victims?
No.....
- Keep quiet!
Bye! Let's go.
- Why did you bail me out?
I wanted to stay here
for a few days.
What for?
- "Women are raped in lockups".
We see this often in the papers.
I would have seen...
...if these officers do it too.
Let's go.
I've sold all of mom's jewels
to pay for your court cases.
We have nothing left.
- The nation has nothing either.
Politicians have all the gold
in their personal lockers.
At one time, the attic was filled
with silver and bronze.
Now there is nothing left.
The attic is bare.
Why are you doing this, dad?
- I'm worried this world...
...is getting spoilt.
- Why worry about this world?
How about you?
- Why should I worry?
Don't you worry about me?
You need to give dowry
for my wedding. Can you afford it?
You need to buy at least
one silk sari? Can you?
You need to pay a deposit
for the hall? Can you?
You need to feed at least
four people. Can you?
You want to do good, right?
I'll find four illiterate
in our village.
Teach them, but in the temple
outside the town.
This is my order.
You fought?
- No, I asked properly.
What did you ask?
- I said food was important for us.
But there is only one ration shop
to buy food items in every area.
But they give 10 permits to set up
liquor shops in every area.
And you asked this properly?
- It's not my doubt.
Many women have this doubt.
So, I asked.
What happened to the rice?
- It'll come next week.
Sugar?
- Sold out last week itself.
Kerosene?
- Ship hasn't left from Dubai.
Cooking oil?
- It only comes once a year.
Then what did they have?
Politicians make
lots of empty promises.
Fine, give me
the ration card back.
Dad, ration card.
"You don't have anything
we ask for,...
...you sell everything
through the back door.
Then why give us this ration card?
Can we eat this?
Are we donkeys?".
I tore the card in front of him...
...and threw it on his face.
Don't stare.
I'll get it back,
I'll paste it back for you.
If we are always happy,
why would we feel hungry?
Why do we need a ration card?
Manju, have some prasadham.
- From Tirupati or Palani?
In Palani,
they give panja mirtham.
This is laddu. It's from Tirupati.
- I want to go there too.
But before we step in,
they'll push us out.
So, I don't go there.
You've given everyone, right?
Can I have the whole pack?
The lord in Tirupati
is very powerful.
When you touch this laddu,
your life will change.
Or I'll change my name.
- Want to call yourself Sundal Rao?
Wife needed.
Are you a modern woman?
27 year old man who has gone
through many tests in life.
Are you willing to marry him
and make him happy?
Are you capable
of doing that?
I don't wish to state my race,
religion, caste, education..
...and language spoken
to limit my chances.
First applicant
will be given priority.
Why are you late
on your first day itself?
It's my leader's birthday.
I carried a milk container.
Who is your leader?
- Sugumar Babu.
Who is Sugumar Babu?
- Don't you know? He's an actor.
It's his birthday, you carried
a milk container for him.
When is your dad's birthday?
- Don't know.
Your mom's birthday?
- Don't know.
Do you at least know
your birthday?
How would I know these things?
- You don't your birthday.
But you carried a milk container
for an actor on his birthday.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Go and sit.
You're my students now.
No more birthday celebrations,...
...pasting postings,
hanging banners,...
...you shouldn't do
these things anymore.
When you go for meetings, they'll
take you respectfully in lorries.
Once his job is over,
he'll ditch you.
Right. Last week,
Thulukkanam did the same thing.
He took us for a meeting.
He promised to pay Rs15 and lunch.
Finally, he didn't even
give us water.
I had to borrow that day.
- Leader Thulukkanam!
Out!
- He didn't even give you water.
Then why call him leader?
You have a bad habit.
Everyone is a leader for you.
Can you call anyone your parents?
A leader is far nobler.
Before you call someone...
...a leader, you must think twice.
- Okay, leader.
You made me a leader too?
We're old, but you're young.
The future is in your hands.
I'll ask you a few questions.
Meet a few officials
and ask them those questions.
Help create awareness.
Wait! You use God's name
to make money.
You collect donations
in temples.
A group of thieves issue receipts
and notices for donations given.
No matter who comes into power,
you rob our temples.
Our youth movement is warning you.
- Be careful!
This is a government project.
But others are using...
...these materials
to build their houses.
You take bribe
from the contractor every week.
Our youth movement is warning you.
- Be careful!
Doctor, you work
in a government hospital.
So, you must treat
the poor for free.
But you send all your patients
to your hospital...
...registered under
your wife's name.
You're making
lots of money this way.
Our youth movement is warning you.
- Be careful!
Be careful!
I gave you sweets. Aren't you
going to ask the good news?
For me, happiness would be when
the military takes over India.
Have they taken over India?
- Dad, the sweet is for my wedding.
Are you in love as you know you
can't depend on me anymore?
I only know how to love
my dad and no one else.
Cry after eating.
- I'll cry and eat...
...at the same time.
- Dad, I need to get married.
I need to live
with my husband, have kids,...
...manage the household,
then die.
I'm against such a life.
But 99% are living
that way in India.
But they are not
Narayanan's daughter.
We need to reply
to that advertisement.
Let him come, we'll find out.
Then we'll decide.
Manju's house.....
- That one over there.
Vanakkam. Manju.....
- That's my daughter. You are.....
I'm Vasu. I gave
an advertisement in the papers.
Your daughter replied.
Come in.
This is not Mysore Palace,
enough of looking around.
What brought you here?
- Who should I speak to?
Normally I speak,
the rest would listen.
But today,
I'm fated to listen to you.
My advertisement would have
created doubts in you.
Was that an advertisement?
Rubbish!
I bet no one would have replied.
- I received one reply,...
...from your daughter.
- I told her not to reply.
She didn't listen.
So, I left it to her.
Sorry, I wrote the letter.
I haven't spoken to you yet.
I noticed you were sad, angry
and weak in your advertisement.
I realised that you were looking
for support from a woman.
It was a challenge to me,
so I replied to you.
Who are you, how is your family,
how serious is your problem,...
...I need to know these things.
I also want to know what you're
expecting from your future wife.
And most importantly,
what your future wife...
...should not expect from you.
If you can tell me
these things,...
...we can discuss further.
Shall I tell you or do you want
to come in person to see?
If you tell me,
you may hide certain details.
So, I'll come
and see in person.
Come in.
Didn't you rape me?
Old fool!
What is this?
- Catch her!
What is this? Catch her!
- I won't let you go.
Gayathri, listen to me,
put the knife down.
Say sorry, give them coffee.
- Sorry.
Uncle, sorry.
- I don't want, get lost!
That's my younger sister,
her name is Gayathri.
I think she's
psychologically disturbed.
Psychologically?
Why are you being nice?
Ask him if she is mad.
- Dad, she is not mad.
She's affected because
of something, that's all.
Make and do mean
the same thing.
It depends
on the person saying it.
For you,
she is psychologically upset.
For me, she is mad.
If she was mad, she wouldn't have
put the knife down when he came.
She wouldn't have given
coffee to her guests.
She wouldn't have apologised.
What happened to her?
She was the
best student in college.
One day,
she came home in a mess.
Either she must have been raped
or someone would have tried.
Didn't you take her
for a medical examination?
We would have lost
our reputation.
When did this happen?
- About six months ago.
So, she picks up the knife
whenever she sees a man?
It's fine if she
does it to a young man.
How old am I?
Why did she do it to me?
Would I rape at this age?
Younger brother?
- Yes.
Drunkard?
- Alcoholic.
He looks young.
How long has he been drinking?
About six month.
- Sister, six months, brother too?
Let's meet my dad.
- Is your dad six months?
What is this? It's his dad.
- Anything can happen here.
Why spare the man?
Let's go and meet him.
Hello, Narasa Reddy?
How are you?
You need to go to Hyderabad today.
The tender will be out today.
Yes, I got the information.
Hello! Who is that?
Appukutty Nair?
I'll come once
the government changes.
We need to register 40 acres.
- Is he a businessman?
He knows many languages.
- He is closing business...
...worth millions on the phone.
- They are all dummy phones.
Nothing is connected.
- Guessed when the bell was alike.
I need to key the clock.
Hello, good news. Your project
worth Rs2 million...
...has been approved.
He and his partner, Chandra Mouli,
did business worth millions...
...for 20 years in a company
called East India Exports.
Chandra Mouli cheated him.
- I'll tell the rest.
It happened six months ago. Right?
- How did you know?
It's not top secret.
I wonder what we
are going to see here.
How are you, mom?
I'm planning to get married.
They are here
to talk about it.
My mom has been suffering from
asthma for the past six months.
She can't talk, laugh or cry.
She only coughs 24 hours.
Careful, your
intestines may come out!
Mom.....
- Come out, it may be contagious!
Dad, what is this?
- You didn't give me an answer.
We've seen your house
and met everyone in your family.
We're so happy.
If you have a mortal enemy,
we can help you.
If God Himself is your enemy,
what can anyone do?
If we stay here any longer,
she'll start drinking,...
...I'll start making calls,
she'll start coughing,...
...I'll be walking around with
a knife in my hand. Let us go!
Let's go!
- Dad!
Dad, let me go.
You have no manners at all.
We shouldn't misbehave with friends
and potential friends.
We don't know them,
we're not going to know them.
It is not wrong
to misbehave with them.
"Manju, is a young girl.
You have to get her married."
I didn't say that,
your mom did.
Not that.....
- What? His dad is mad.
Mom has asthma.
Younger brother, a drunkard.
His sister is mad.
A cook who walks around with
a matchstick and kerosene in hand.
A haunted house.
I must allow you to live there?
Unless you say you won't
talk about this anymore,...
...I won't come here again.
I'll fast outside.
Give me a cup of tea.
Devar, we thought
it'll be here two days ago.
It didn't show up.
We waited yesterday.
It didn't come.
Will the body be here today?
They assured me the body
will be here this evening.
It is sad. I still can't forget how
your son looked two years ago.
Now, I have to see his body.
You shouldn't have sent
your son to the army.
He was your only son,
he died at 28.
I'm not sad, why are you?
He didn't die of a disease.
He didn't die
for any other reason.
He died while serving
his country.
A man should
make his country proud.
A lady should make her
family proud.
That'll make parents proud.
Gajendra!
- Coming!
Why are you in silk?
- I didn't expect this.
The girl who came the other day
managed to convince her dad.
Make some milk payasam.
- I don't get it.
We're getting married in Vijayavel
Murugan Temple in an hour.
Have you informed everyone?
They are not
in a position to listen.
The rest did not carry
themselves respectfully.
The rest did not carry themselves
respectfully to be told?
Whom did he mean? Me, right?
Where is the wedding?
Is DGP Velusamy home?
Yes, I'm asking for DGP Velusamy!
I'm the director
of East India Exports.....
Gajendra, you're family too.
Come on.
Let me remind all of you,
we just got married.
She will not do anything
to harm your freedom.
I'll explain that to her.
You just got married.
Go and buy fruits and flowers
for your first night.
Who is the boss? You or him?
Can't you go and buy?
I don't know what
is happening in this house.
Before that, you should know how
to carry yourself in this house.
Don't ask questions here,
just do what you're told.
I'm a 45 year old bachelor.
What would I know about it?
Boss, take him with you.
- Dad, don't be scared.
I came here to stay.
You can go now.
Let's go, dad.
Can you be alone with them?
- Go on, dad.
Call from Bombay, for you.
- How?
Today is an auspicious day.
Why don't you set me
on fire today?
What are you thinking?
Afraid?
I'm not afraid. Now, I feel
like setting myself on fire.
I can't stand to see
the reputation of this family...
...go down the drain.
What are you saying?
- I'll tell you.
It's true we needed someone
strong and daring.
But we didn't expect that person
to be our daughter-in-law.
Dad!
- Wondering how a mad man...
...can think this way?
Shall I talk about...
...American civilization
or the European economy?
Dad, I'm confused.
My partner, Chandra Mouli,
exported leather garments...
...worth Rs20 lakhs to Zambia
through me yesterday.
But I'm pretending
to be mad here.
You feel confused?
You think I don't feel confused?
Why are you pretending?
- It's not the time to tell now.
Dad!
Mom, please tell me.
What are you looking?
Even a healthy person...
...can't say this part
of Kandha Sashti Kavasam properly.
I'm an asthmatic.
I said it so well.
I don't understand.
- I'm pretending.
Why are you pretending?
- Not the time to tell you now.
If this is whiskey,
my hand would be on fire now.
This is Coca-Cola,
not whiskey.
I drink Coca-Cola,
and pretend to be drunk.
Why are you doing this?
- Not the time to tell you now.
Gayathri, it's clear now.
You're pretending too.
Why are you pretending?
I'm confused.
Tell me the truth
or my head will burst.
The elders were told
not to say anything.
Do you think I can tell you?
No!
Why are you pretending?!
No matter what it is,
I'll be able to endure it!
I can't take this mystery!
Tell me the truth!
Please tell me!
- When you came that day,...
...we should have
told you the truth.
We didn't tell you because
we didn't expect you to marry him.
Now, you're in this family.
I'll tell you now. Come on!
A phone in the kitchen.....
Sir, there is a call.
Sir, this is Gajendran.
We've told the girl that everyone
here is pretending...
...just as you said.
Now, she wants to know why.
Yes, please talk to her.
- Who is he?
Why should I talk to him?
- Don't ask questions.
Do what you're told.
Talk to him.
Talk.
You're controlling this family
through the telephone.
Who are you?
You'll face the biggest challenge
in your life tomorrow.
Why do you want
to face it today?
He hung up.
He didn't answer me.
Dad, brother is back!
- Quick, put it back!
Run! Keep this a secret.
Or we'll be in trouble.
We are good.
That's all I can tell you now.
Your husband shouldn't know
what happened here.
If he knows, he'll be in trouble.
You won't see him alive then.
Swear you won't tell him.
You swore.
He won't suspect anything
if you open the door. Go on.
I'll take that.
- Close the door.
Nothing happened here
after I left, right?
Your husband bought everything.
I couldn't buy anything...
...as I didn't have cash.
I bought some grapes.
You and your husband
must eat that first.
Brother!
- Vasu!
Sister!
What happened?
- Don't know, brother!
What happened?
- Vasu!
Sir, open the door!
Brother!
- Sir!
What happened to him?
He started strangling me
all of a sudden.
What is happening here?
- We can't tell you now!
How can you....
- Do you want us to tell you...
...or help Vasu.
- Who are you to say that?
We didn't determine your fate,
you did!
Go and sit by the side!
Get out!
Wait here.
Why are you waiting here? Come in!
- I'll stick to my word.
I won't come in until
this problem is solved.
Go in.
Get in!
Come out!
Gayathri, go with them!
Baskar, do you have money?
Doctor, get in!
Get in. We'll go to my house.
Get in.
Why go to your house?
- Do what you're told.
No! My husband was taken
to the hospital.
I want to be with him.
I won't come to your house.
He's telling you, get in.
- Listen to him, get in.
Sit. Look after the house.
- Okay.
The girl and Ramamoorthy are here.
Get three cups of coffee.
I don't want anything.
- My duty to give you.
It's your right whether you
want to drink or not.
Dad!
- A girl should be patient.
Even Mother Earth won't
be patient in such a situation.
Who is Mother Earth? You?
His daughter will come down now.
She is Mother Earth.
How are you?
Yes, I am.
No thanks! Who are you?
You're asking
what I'm supposed to ask.
Who are you?
- I'm Mrs. Manju Vasudevan.
You became Mrs. Vasudevan
only today.
I've been Mrs. Vasudevan
for a long time.
It's better to get help
from an enemy and friends.
Your friends couldn't
solve your problem.
You think I'm your enemy.
But I can solve your problem.
I like to help people.
No matter who it is,
I'm always on the side of just.
I don't care even
if I get affected.
If you trust me,
tell me what happened.
Just a minute.
I was the only daughter
of an influential millionaire.
I have no mother,
so dad pampered me.
My dad, prayer room,
mom's picture, temple,...
...they were everything to me.
I didn't have any desires
that girls my age would have.
One day when I went to college,
a storm hit me.
A depression formed.
Why are we having
this blood donation drive?
Only the poor meet
with accidents most of the time.
They can't afford
to buy blood.
So, we collect blood from students
like you and office workers...
...and hand them over
to the blood bank.
They keep it carefully
and help the poor.
Excuse me, someone left her purse.
Give it to the person.
Rich girls like you cut cake,
go on picnics...
...or have parties at home.
But you're feeding...
...the orphans here
on your birthday.
I don't know
how to praise you.
Who is he?
- He's generous just like you.
It's his dad's death
anniversary today.
So, he is giving away clothes
for the elder in this ashram.
Excuse me, I'm Uma.
I'm Chandra Mouli's only daughter.
He's a leading industrialist.
- I see. I've heard about him.
Sit down.
I've been watching you
for some time now.
Really? I'm surprised.
- Yes, I'm your fan.
Fan?
- Yes.
What did I do?
The song you sang in the temple,
the respect you showed...
...to the elders in the ashram,
the blood drive you had...
...in my college, you returned
the purse at the supermarket,...
...it is rare to meet
a responsible man like you.
You mean you love him?
Don't make it sound bad, dad.
It's not love, admiration.
He is a Mahathma.
Don't call him a Mahathma.
That's greed.
The man must be a good son-in-law
to me and a good husband to you.
He will be,
a perfect gentleman.
Come in, I was praying.
Mr. Narasimman, my daddy.
Vanakkam.
- May God bless you.
Sit down.
- You sit.
Careful!
I'm a typical businessman. I don't
know how to beat around the bush.
My daughter loves you.
We are worlds apart.
- If I want, I can upgrade...
...your status in no time at all.
After you get married,
my money is for you.
Find out about me first.
You were listening
to a devotional song.
I smell incense in your house.
What more should I find out?
When can you marry my daughter?
It'll be good if you can say...
...when can I hand over
the responsibilities...
...and my property to you?
This is about
your daughter's life.
Why don't you ask God first?
If I am going to get her married
to a man, I can check with God.
When I'm going to hand her over
to God, I don't need to ask Him.
Uma told me
everything about you.
You're the groom
I've been looking for.
I'll look for an auspicious date
and visit you again.
Don't tease me, dad.
I want a grandchild soon,
then I won't disturb you.
God!
- What?
I forgot my handbag.
- Are you sure you forgot...
...or you want to see him again?
Mathi, can you go back?
You promised to marry me.
I left my husband for you.
But you're getting married
to someone else.
Maria, we need money
if we want to be happy.
We need Uma for that.
You'll be my everything.
Those who want to succeed in life
would usually pick a course.
They'll study for 3-4 years.
I have no patience for that.
Instead of picking a course,
I picked a rich girl.
Without her knowledge,
I studied her for six months.
I found out her likes
and dislikes.
She didn't know I followed her,
I made her follow me,...
...that's the test I did.
Her dad said I'm the right
partner for his daughter.
That shows I've aced.
- You were only cheating women.
Now, you've cheated
the rich man.
Her dad promised to give me
his property after the wedding.
Let's see how long he lives.
If he doesn't go,...
...we'll send him off.
Then we'll drive Uma out.
Then we can enjoy their property.
How is my plan?
Uncle, this is my niece.
Do you kiss your niece?
Mr. Chandra Mouli, I've planned how
I'm going to enjoy your money.
I hope there will not be
any change in it.
Or your daughter will suffer.
Don't, I'm scum.
If you pick on me,...
...you'll be in trouble.
Get lost, you dog!
You walked in all of a sudden
and said you wanted to talk.
Now, we're seated on the table.
How can you keep quiet?
Tell us
what you have to say.
It's in my heart,
I just don't know how to say it.
We can't force the words
out of you. Come on, tell us.
Why are you hesitating?
I'm ready to sign any document
you tell me to sign.
My wife gives me the pen
without a question.
That is why I'm here.
I want Vasu to call me dad.
Call him dad.
Coffee, okay.
Milk, very good. What is this?
Hello!
- How is your honeymoon?
Did you see your photo?
- Who are you?
Photo 125, was taken
in the temple.
Your wife won't even let me
go to the temple alone.
Did you see the photo
taken in the college?
She wanted to become popular
in the college.
So, she told me to organise
a blood donation drive.
I did it.
I donated clothes during
my dad's death anniversary.
She came here too.
She brought her dad
to my house to discuss marriage.
I mean your father-in-law.
Didn't he tell you?
They are cheats.
They are cheating you.
The next photo
was taken in the temple.
The one where we are carrying
garlands. That's the one.
She got married to me secretly.
Her father found out.
He broke us apart.
I'm poor, so he sent me off.
You're rich, he got his
daughter married to you.
You're a lucky man.
Your wife is great looking.
She wasn't with me
for a long time.
So, forget it,
just accept her.
When we build a new house and move
in, we do house warming prayers.
If we move into an old house,
don't we do anything?
Don't we boil milk first?
Think that way.
Your wife is an old house.
Boss is back!
What happened?
Where is my brother?
I'm asking you, where is he?
- He is asleep.
Brother!
Dad,...
...he is drunk!
What's the matter?
He doesn't even chew betel leaves.
Why did he start drinking?
- I don't know.
Put it down.
Pour on his head.
- Don't.
I said pour!
- Don't.
Why did you bring the water?
Pour it on him.
What habit is this?
Dad, ask her to leave.
- Answer me first.
What habit is this?
- You poured water on my head.
I did that so that
you won't be drunk.
But your name is gone
as you drank.
I married her, she became my wife,
but she has another husband!
What about that shame?!
What did you say?
Look at these photos.
Your daughter-in-law's first
husband is in those photos.
She is married.
Don't believe those photos.
I don't know how he took it.
That man is a bad man.
I'm innocent.
Get out! Are you still here?
- Mom, Dad, believe me!
Tell your brother
I'm innocent.
Are you sure
she has another husband?
I don't believe.
What are you saying?
I'm not lying, it's the truth.
Her husband told me everything.
Get out!
Please listen to me.
- You poured water on me.
I've disowned her.
There's nothing to talk anymore.
Don't say that.
- Are you still here?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Get out!
What happened?
Ramamoorthy!
This problem involves me.
I'll handle it.
You're a cheat who hid
the fact that your daughter...
...was in love
with someone else.
The cheat also hid the fact that
he went to her lover's house...
...to propose marriage.
He hid the fact...
...about their marriage
that took place in the temple.....
No, they didn't get married.
Did you go to his house
to propose marriage?
Answer me!
- You have to be respectful.
Sit, dad, you're too innocent.
I wonder how else you got cheated.
Ramamoorthy, wait!
- He is blaming you!
I'm telling you to sit!
No one can separate...
...your dad
away from this cheat.
I don't mind you saying that
my daughter is not a good woman.
But you said I've been cheating
your family all along.
I can't take that.
I'll say this now.
I'll sell all my property,...
...that is my share
and not your dad's share,...
...until I prove
my daughter is innocent,...
...I won't step into this house.
My daughter
won't come here too.
I swear upon your dad.
I understand everything now.
But there is something
I do not understand.
Why did my father-in-law
and mother-in-law.....
I'm sorry.
Why did everyone pretend?
My husband is a good man,
he is honest.
I'm sorry,
our husband is a good man.
Our husband is honest.
But how can he be in peace
after he heard such a thing...
...about me
during our honeymoon?
Even after sending me away
from his house,...
...he couldn't forget
what happened.
He started drinking
and taking drugs.
He couldn't forget me either.
He couldn't forget
how I betrayed him.
He had a great wedding
in a wedding hall.
He used to drink
and sleep in front of the hall.
Finally, they took him
to a psychiatrist.
Please sit down,
Mr. Ramamoorthy.
He can't forget Uma
or forgive her.
The wound is deep.
We can't treat this with drugs.
We need to approach
it psychologically.
Parallel treatment
is the best for this.
To make the first line smaller,
we draw another longer line.
To make him forget his problem,
we must give him bigger problems.
You can say that you lost
heavily in your business.
Your wife can pretend
to be sick.
I understand what you're saying.
Gayathri and I...
...should create problems
for him. Okay?
This was when he placed
the advertisement.
Because he gave a postal box
as his mailing address,...
...we didn't know he placed
the advertisement.
You got married
and came into the house.
You know what happened
after that.
I've heard about you.
You're a smart girl,...
...why did you marry him
without finding out...
...if he was still a bachelor?
Narasimman cheated you
even though you're smart.
I'm the same too.
Both of us got cheated.
What to do?
Even Sita got cheated by Maarisan.
We are forms of Sita.
So men cheat us easily.
Now we have to make him understand
that Narasimman is a creep.
Can we do that?
We won't have Ramayana
if Rama had doubted Himself.
We wouldn't have Mahabharath
if Krishna had doubted Himself.
We wouldn't have Satyavan
if Savitri had doubted herself.
It's possible!
We must do it!
Do you know everything now?
What have you decided?
All our plans
didn't work out.
I got estranged.
Who benefited anything?
I feel mom sent her to us.
Come to the house tomorrow.
- I'm sorry.
I vouched not to step
into the house.
You need not come in,
we can talk in the garden.
Let's go, dad.
- Just a minute.
You came here
for the first time.
You promised
to help my daughter.
Have a cup of coffee.
Let's everything work out.
I'll have a feast here, dad.
Let your son stay in the
hospital until we can prove...
...that Narasimman is bad.
Mom, please stay with him.
Until I say so, don't bring him
back from the hospital.
I need some money.
- Tell me how much you need.
For now, a bungalow
and some cash.
I'll decide what and when
you should play your parts.
Manju's dad is coming.
- Let him come. What?!
Why is he coming here now?
Baskar!
Yes?
- Manju's dad is here.
Why is he here?
Don't know! Should we pretend?
- Sister didn't say anything.
Let's pretend, that safe.
Go and bring him in.
Look what she is doing. Come on!
Get the telephone.
- For what?
I need to pretend!
- Where is my liquor bottle?
What for?
- I need to pretend!
I look fresh!
- So what?
I don't look like I was raped!
He's a good man,
but he has gone mad.
Muneeswaran is dead!
Dad.
- Who is that? Come.
What is this?
- Look what your dad did.
My dad?
- Yes. He said we are possessed.
He brought a medium
and hit us with neem leaves.
Who told you to bring
the medium here?
You said my father-in-law
is possessed.
Then you hit everyone
with neem leaves.
What are you thinking?
What peace will I have...
...if you do this?
- The medium said.....
Dad, I'm begging you.
Please don't come
to this house anymore.
I have no one, but you.
If I let you come here,
I won't have a family.
Please go now.
May I see your husband
before I go?
He is.....
He'll be back late today.
If I don't meet your in-law,
you won't have any respect.
Let's me see her.
- She has gone to the hospital too.
She too?
Who else is in the hospital?
I have to go if you do this.
Please go, dad!
What are you looking?
- I can hear a telephone ringing.
Something is wrong with your ears,
so you're hearing things.
No, I can hear the phone.
- I don't hear anything! Now go!
I can hear!
- Dad!
It has stopped ringing now.
I'll go, I won't come
until you call me.
I won't come
if you don't call me.
Bye! She is saying
my hearing is bad.
Everything is wrong
in this house!
Sister, I don't understand you.
You scolded your dad,
now you're crying.
The part that scolded
was your sister-in-law.
I'm crying because
I'm still his daughter.
My dad is sad because he
thinks I have small problems.
If he knows I have a serious
problem, he won't live.
So, it'll be good if he doesn't
come here for some time.
Okay, let's get back
to our problem.
I know where Narasimman
is working.
He is the boss in a tourist
company along Eldams Road.
You have to go there
in the morning.
Mr. Narasimman?
- Yes.
Y.X. Narasimman?
Do you rent out vehicles?
I'm Anandakrishnan, the
Madras agent for a millionaire...
...in Bombay. The man wants to
build a five-star hotel in Madras.
To look for a site
for the hotel, his daughter.....
He only has one daughter
and she's a bachelor.
She is pretty too.
She is coming here
with her assistant tomorrow.
I need two cars to receive her.
They must be in good condition.
I need good drivers too.
She is the only heir
to the rich man.
You're saying she is rich and
wants to build a five-star hotel.
It's a good business opportunity.
I'll do this job myself.
Mr. Anandakrishnan, how are you?
- I'm good. How is dad?
He's fine.
This is Mr. Narasimman.
He's our driver.
Where are you going?
Carry this bag.
Anandakrishnan, I'm over here!
- Get in!
Why are you so tensed?
You have not changed at all.
You have to respect her, but must
you push me back into the car?
Anandakrishnan,
get the bags in.
Agent, get the bags.
- Agent?
Yes, don't question me.
We must listen to PM and CM.
PM and CM?
- Yes, big boss is PM.
The one behind is CM,
small madam.
You?
- Haven't you met me? MLA.
MLA?
- ML Anandakrishnan. Get the bags!
Not MLA, but MLC.
Fool!
Driver, put the bags inside!
Same bin! Right!
- There is no road to the right.
Then turn left!
- That is a five-foot-way.
Give him proper directions.
- Right, then left.
No, left, then right.
Just go straight.
That's what I'm doing.
- Okay.
Total, 10 acres.
150 coconut trees...
...and 58 mango trees.
Five acres can be used
for agriculture.
You'll get good yield.
Good water supply.
Five wells altogether.
Five, right?
What else?
Price!
- Tell her the price!
Rs50 lakhs.
As a deposit, I want Rs500.
He wants Rs500 as deposit
for a land worth 50 lakhs!
Give me Rs300
if you can't afford Rs500.
I don't think he's the owner
of this property.
If I'm not the owner,
who else can it be?
The original owner
had two wives.
The first wife
has two daughters and a son.
The second wife has two sons
and a daughter.
Until the owner died,
no one came here.
My mom and I
were looking after this farm.
How can they suspect me?
- How was the owner...
...related to your mom?
- My mom was his mistress.
Mistress?
The owner had three wives?
- Yes.
Seven children?
- No, six.
How? First and second wives
had three children each.
Including you, seven.
- I'm not the owner's son.
Your mom was his wife?
- Yes.
The you're the owner's son?
- No.
How is that so?
- My mom met the owner...
...after I was born.
My mom was the owner's wife.
But my dad is not the owner,
he's someone else.
But the property is mine.
Now, explain to her.
Madam, the owner's mom....
My mom was his wife,
but he's not my dad.
But his property is mine.
I've filed for a case.
I'll win! The property is mine!
Don't go, come back!
Five-star hotel here?
Forget about hotels customers,...
...I don't think you'll find
any workers here.
Pugazhenthi, come on!
Why are you late?
- Haven't got the keys yet.
You said you'll get it today.
- Thought the tenant will move out.
He didn't move out!
The tenant hasn't moved out.
He doesn't have the key.
What shall we do?
- Tenant hasn't moved out.
What are you saying?
- It's a huge land.
There is a small house
in the centre.
The tenant doesn't
want to move out.
Only if he moves,
the owner will get his keys.
Only then we can buy
the land and house.
After we buy the house,
we'll redo the house...
...and name it Five Star.
- Five star is not a name,...
...but a grade for hotels.
We need many rooms...
...and space for parking.
- That's not a problem.
Tell her, Pugazhenthi.
- You can park two Ambassadors...
...close to each other
and three Maruthis.
Cycle?
- You can park 15 cycles.
I've sent many faxes
over the past month.
And the two of us came here
only to see a graveyard.
What's the tea shop man's name?
- Pugazhenthi.
Yes, did we come here
to see his bald head?
Madam, you're hot.
Can I get you some juice.....
Look how much money I brought.
Such a waste!
Sorry for interfering.
You need a land to build
a huge five-star hotel, right?
And you need to finalise the land
deal within 48 hours, right?
If you don't mind,
may I try looking for a land?
I'm not bragging,
but I don't take no for an answer.
Okay, try.
This land belongs to the zamindar.
You won't have any problems.
Huge land,
the place is busy too.
It'll be great if we can build
a five-star hotel here.
You found this place
within 24 hours. You're great!
Hello, daddy, Manju here.
Very fine, daddy.
I got the land for Rs2 crores.
Take the flight here in the
morning, we'll pay the advance.
It's a great place, daddy.
Mr. Narasimman
finalised the deal.
He runs a tourist company.
With your permission,
may I give him a party?
If you don't mind, may I
order a drink for myself?
Up to you.
- Thanks.
I'll take red wine.
- Do you drink?
I drink when I'm happy or sad.
This is common in Bombay.
I'm happy.
You found a good place for me.
I'll help you to earn
a good name in South India.
Will you only help me
earn a good name?
Won't you be my company?
This one is for that man.
This is for madam.
This is for you.
That one?
- For me.
I don't want it,
you can have it.
I'm glad to have you
as my students.
It's not easy to give
500 people free food.
The rich man gave you
the responsibility.
That's even great. Normally,
they make politicians do it.
Yes, people have faith
in our Youth Movement.
Yes, there are youth movements
in every township nowadays.
Now we only have
to stand for election.
We'll do it!
- Careful, don't die.
Pachaiyappan from Kamarajar Nagar.
- That's me.
Pachaiyappan,
youth movement leader.
Good man, I've found out.
Next Sunday, we'll give free
food in 100 places in Madras.
We'll give food for 500 people
in each centre.
You must give food
to 500 people in your area.
Don't cheat,
we'll come on our rounds.
We'll come and check.
Go in and collect your money.
He's my guru, give it to him.
- Here you go.
Bye.
- We'll do everything properly.
Did you give
me the right amount of money?
Don't get me wrong.
One gives, the other takes.
This has become common.
Bye.
Pachaiyappa.
- Yes?
Everything must go one well.
I have some work.
I'll come back later.
- Okay. Come on, let's get to work.
Vanakkam. Why are they
giving free food?
Boss told me not to tell anyone.
But I have to tell someone.
They're giving free food so
that my lady boss will be happy.
What happened to her?
- Husband and wife are estranged.
Any chances for them to patch up?
- What?
When a couple have problems,
parents would patch them up.
Or in-laws or family
would patch them up.
But have you seen any
second wife trying her best...
...to patch her husband
with his first wife?
Second wife?
- Yes, this lady is the first wife.
What's the second wife's name?
- Boss calls her God.
But others call her Manju.
Dad, Narasimman believes
that I'm a rich woman.
He also believes
that I love him.
He thinks my dad
lives in Bombay.
Come as my dad
from Bombay tomorrow.
Pretend that you agree
that we get married.
Make all arrangements
for the wedding.
I'll handle the rest.
There is a flight
from Bombay in the morning.
I want you to come out
as a passenger as my dad.
I could only give You food so
that my daughter would have...
...a good life. I have no money.
You must help me.
Why are You taking so long
to drink? Faster, I have work.
What are you doing?
Make all the calls you
want in the toilet.
Someone did not wash the toilet,
put me in the next toilet.
You'll be fine there.
What are you looking?
I'm here. Shall we go?
Let's go!
What's happening?
We thought my dad
would come as your dad,...
...but your dad came
as your dad.
We've made arrangements for
your engagement with Narasimman.
What are we going to do now?
How are you dressed?
- What about you?
You removed your beard too.
You look good.
Don't think you're being smart.
If you jump 8 feet,...
...your young would jump 16 feet.
But if you jump 16 feet,...
...I'll jump 32 feet.
You are my world.
You're worried about
everyone in this world,...
...but you're not bothered
about your dad.
Your husband has another wife.
Everyone in his family
are pretending.
Your husband is in the hospital.
Did you tell me any of these?
You want a creep
to confess the truth.
You want your husband to hear
that so that he'll go back...
...to his first wife.
Isn't this your plan?
What about your life?
You'll be a divorcee.
Which dad will endure that?
You didn't want me to stop you...
...from doing this, you told me
not to come to your house.
You're going to get engaged
to Narasimman tomorrow.
Preparations are on the way.
I don't know what you're going
to do during the function,...
...but one thing is certain.
The function will go on.
I'll come as your dad.
And I'll stop the function.
You were selfless,
when did you become selfish?
Who else do I have?
I only have you.
When it comes to the public,
I'm selfless.
When it comes to you, I'm selfish.
Your life is important to me.
Don't botch up your life.
Ladies and gentlemen,
soon a disgrace will happen here.
My daughter who is already married
will get engaged again.
All of you are here
for the engagement.
And you're drinking to it.
- Dad!
Quiet! She said I'm a rich man.
I'm a beggar.
After the 20th,
we won't even have food.
I had to rent this coat.
She said I'm from Bombay.
Haven't even been out
of Renigunta.
I've only seen Bombay
on the map.
You may ask what the party is for.
It's because of this creep.
What's the matter?
I tried to imagine what my dad
would do in tomorrow's function.
I got scared.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have
an important announcement to me.
That is why we invited you here.
Thanks for coming.
But when I make the announcement,
I want my daughter to be here.
Ladies and gentlemen,
what is about to happen.....
My dad has been
in Bombay for too long.
So, he's not that good in Tamil.
So, he'll read what I wrote.
Please don't get him wrong.
I can't speak Tamil?
- Read what is written here.
Do what you're told.
I'm the actor,
you're the director?
The young tiger
has jumped 64 feet.
Didn't I tell you?
He can't even read what I wrote.
Here you go, dad.
Read from here.
I welcome everyone here...
...who came for my
daughter's engagement.
I'm proud to introduce
to you my future son-in-law,...
...Narasimman.
Enough. I won't be able
to read if you keep clapping.
Narasimman will put the engagement
ring on my daughter's finger.
Give it to her?
- You have to give.
So, everything
is going by the book?
Dad!
- Here you go.
Stop it!
This man is already married,
how can he get engaged again?
What are you saying?
- This is your thali.
Did I marry you?
- Yes, you did.
This is the photo we took
on our wedding day at the temple.
Please look at it.
See how many photos
we have taken together.
You cheated me!
Dad, let's go!
- No, I'll stay here.
Aren't you sad?
- Not a bit.
No, you'll be sad.
Can you come with me?
You're too much!
Where is he?
Come on!
Boss is yelling at me, he wants
to go back to Bombay right now.
He said he won't come back
to Madras. What did you do?
Tell me what happened.
I'll explain to him.
Do you want to marry madam or not?
- I want to.
Then tell me the truth.
You won't say? You're not lucky
to be a rich man's son-in-law.
Anandakrishna,
I'll tell you everything.
Don't tell anyone.
- I swear, I won't tell anyone.
Tell me.
So, you didn't marry Uma?
- No.
You didn't even touch Uma?
- No.
So, what you told Uma's husband
in Kodaikanal is not true?
Yes.
- Why did you do this?
For money,
don't keep asking the same thing.
Don't tell this to anyone,
please get us married.
I won't tell anyone.
What if they tell?
Who?
- The ones coming behind.
Come on!
This is the man. Look him
under all the sections.
Don't beat him, kill him.
I'm sorry.
Can you take your hand away?
What is this?
Why are you crying like a baby?
Please, that's enough.
Let me go.
Hold his hand.
- Don't be crazy.
I only wanted him to know
that I'm a good woman.
I don't want to be married
to a man who suspected me.
Do you know how much I suffered?
- Was he happy?
If you had told him about
Narasimman on your first night,...
...you wouldn't
have faced this problem.
Women do not trust men.
They don't tell them anything.
Men believe women?
Did you tell me about...
...your first wife
before we got married?
Did you trust me?
It's okay,
I'm just a passenger.
A passenger in a train.
I got into the train in Arakkonam,
I'll get down in Kadpadi.
Manju, you're not a passenger,
you're my wife.
Are you saying because of this?
This is just an ID.
I needed it to enter your house
and solve your problems.
Your problem is solved now.
I don't need this ID anymore.
- What are you saying?
Remove this thali and drop it
into the donation box.
What are you saying?!
I feel like dying.
If you don't want us to be sad,
this is the only option.
No, I won't agree to this!
Do you want to share a husband?
Like Valli and Theivanai?
Even Muruga couldn't handle it.
Valli lived in Thiruthani,...
...Theivanai lived
in Thiruparankundram.
It won't work.
Remove it.
Manju, listen to me.
- Mr. Vasu, I don't want...
...to be your wife,
why do I need your property?
Please remove it.
I'm just a normal girl.
I eat food like everyone else.
I have feelings too.
When I see men and women
walking together,...
...I don't want
to get disturbed,...
...if I don't want to think about
living with my husband again,...
...this thali
should not be on me.
Please remove it.
I have one request.
Forget the past, including me.
Hello, Mr. Ramamoorthy,
how are you?
How will I be good?
A girl I know won the race,...
...but she lost her medal.
You proved
your daughter's innocence.
You can go to their house now.
Go on.
I don't like to go there.
When one Mahaletchumi is going in,
another Mahaletchumi is leaving.
You acted so well
in my drama.
I'll call you
when I need your help again.
You must come.
Now, you're pretending as
everything is back to normal.
I'm not your
sister-in-law anymore.
You will always be our sister.
Kamatchi, you fool!
You said so many things...
...for an hour before you died.
Who will Manju have after me?
I'm not asking you, I'm asking your mom.
- Thiruvanmiyur.
This auto is going to Parry's,
it won't go to Thiruvanmiyur.
Please get down.
- We can't go where you go.
You have to take us
where we want to go.
Take me to Thiruvanmiyur.
- Do you think you own this auto?
When the government gave you
license for it to be here,...
...it became a public vehicle.
Take me to Thiruvanmiyur.
Get down!
- I will, I don't plan...
...to run a family here with you.
I'll get down in Thiruvanmiyur.
Parthiba, what's the problem?
- I said I can't go...
...to Thiruvanmiyur,
she's insisting I take her there.
Sister, we won't get
any passengers on our way back.
We have to come without
any passengers until Adyar.
So, take a bus there.
Brother!
- Brother?
Yes, you called me sister.
So, you're my brother, right?
I take the bus every day.
Today, I'm in a hurry.
So, I got into this auto.
Tell your friend to go fast.
The auto belongs to the inspector.
I'm not taking you.
You must take me.
Do you know who I am?
Deputy Commissioner, Traffic,
Deenadayal, I'm his daughter.
Take me to Thiruvanmiyur.
I won't give it to you!
- I'll kill you!
Don't hit me!
Women love gold.
The husband needs money.
Why can't she give her jewels?
- He wants money to drink.
Why would she give?
- Really?
Stop it! Things will be different
if you hit her again.
Do you know who I am?
- I don't care who you are.
Aren't you ashamed?
How can you hit a woman like this?
She is my wife.
- You only have right to hug her.
You have no right to hit her
- I'll hit or hug my wife.
Who are you to question me?
- Judge Sadhasiva Iyer's daughter.
Judge Sadhasiva Iyer?
Vanakkam. Let's go home.
Listen, let's go home.
Children, let's go.
Have you
seen the couple fighting?
Two women are fighting
on the other lane.
Go and watch them!
It's impossible
to change them.
Will you get me wrong?
- Why?
I have a doubt.
- What is it?
You told me you were
Deenadayal's daughter.
To the drunkard, you said you were
Judge Sadhasiva Iyer' daughter.
Yes.
- I don't get you.
Only men can have two wives?
Can't women have two husbands?
My mother's first husband
is Judge Sadhasiva Iyer.
Her second husband, Deputy
Commissioner, Traffic, Deenadayal.
Why are you confused?
Let's go.
Aunty, take some flowers.
I'm not here to bless the couple,
I came to stop it.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
I need to speak to you alone.
- Why? Who are you?
Mythili's friend.
- Which Mythili?
Your grandma.
- Are you joking?
You played with Mythili.
Can we talk alone for a minute?
I'll talk to Mythili later.
- When?
I'm her power of attorney.
I was her classmate,...
...to question the man
who slept with her.
I don't mind
if you lock the doors.
But you need
to know something.
I'm district collector,
Paramanantham's daughter.
Ten constables are here
with me in plain clothes.
They can break the door open.
Fine, Mythili felt it was okay
to have premarital sex.
So, she slept with me.
I wasn't sure I was the first.
Because of the doubt,
I started disliking her.
You should have had the doubt
before you took her...
...to the hotel in Mahabalipuram.
You violated
the girl who loved you.
You're not going to be true
to the girl you're going to marry.
Is this fair?
Those days,
women carried man in baskets.
Women nowadays
take men to court.
You shouldn't get the life
that Mythili was denied.
Are you going to stop the wedding?
- It's over, you fool!
May God bless you.
Step back!
Someone called to report a fire.
Who called us?
I did.
- But I don't see any fire.
Just a minute. Get your water,
the water tanker is here.
Calm down.
- This is too much!
Must you call the fire department
if you want water to drink?
No, I called Metrowater thrice.
They didn't come, what am I to do?
So must you call the fire engine?
- For you, this is a fire engine.
For us, it is a water tanker.
Stop it! Don't you know you should
not call the fire department...
...if there is no fire.
We can call if there is a fire
or if we are upset.
Why are you upset?
- The poor as we have no water.
You can't tap water
from a fire engine.
People are stopping
rail engines to tap water.
Why can't we take water
from a fire engine?
You're right.
So, you started this?
Do you know what will happen...
...if I call the police now?
- What? I'll be jailed.
Didn't Gandhi, Nehru
and Anna go to jail?
All that went in are not devils,
not everyone outside are angels.
The good is unfortunate,
many of them are inside.
The bad is fortunate,
many of them are outside.
Bad police make
good people become evil.
Good police make
bad people repent.
I've taken your key.
If you touch me,...
...I'll report to the police
that you molested me.
Give us water.
Ask him to behave.
This is his last warning.
I've seen three inspectors who
said that to me in this station.
They were transferred out.
Ask him, he'll know.
But no one could change me.
- Can you keep quiet?
If all of us keep quiet,
who is going to help the victims?
Are you Dr. Ambedkar or Anna
to help the victims?
No.....
- Keep quiet!
Bye! Let's go.
- Why did you bail me out?
I wanted to stay here
for a few days.
What for?
- "Women are raped in lockups".
We see this often in the papers.
I would have seen...
...if these officers do it too.
Let's go.
I've sold all of mom's jewels
to pay for your court cases.
We have nothing left.
- The nation has nothing either.
Politicians have all the gold
in their personal lockers.
At one time, the attic was filled
with silver and bronze.
Now there is nothing left.
The attic is bare.
Why are you doing this, dad?
- I'm worried this world...
...is getting spoilt.
- Why worry about this world?
How about you?
- Why should I worry?
Don't you worry about me?
You need to give dowry
for my wedding. Can you afford it?
You need to buy at least
one silk sari? Can you?
You need to pay a deposit
for the hall? Can you?
You need to feed at least
four people. Can you?
You want to do good, right?
I'll find four illiterate
in our village.
Teach them, but in the temple
outside the town.
This is my order.
You fought?
- No, I asked properly.
What did you ask?
- I said food was important for us.
But there is only one ration shop
to buy food items in every area.
But they give 10 permits to set up
liquor shops in every area.
And you asked this properly?
- It's not my doubt.
Many women have this doubt.
So, I asked.
What happened to the rice?
- It'll come next week.
Sugar?
- Sold out last week itself.
Kerosene?
- Ship hasn't left from Dubai.
Cooking oil?
- It only comes once a year.
Then what did they have?
Politicians make
lots of empty promises.
Fine, give me
the ration card back.
Dad, ration card.
"You don't have anything
we ask for,...
...you sell everything
through the back door.
Then why give us this ration card?
Can we eat this?
Are we donkeys?".
I tore the card in front of him...
...and threw it on his face.
Don't stare.
I'll get it back,
I'll paste it back for you.
If we are always happy,
why would we feel hungry?
Why do we need a ration card?
Manju, have some prasadham.
- From Tirupati or Palani?
In Palani,
they give panja mirtham.
This is laddu. It's from Tirupati.
- I want to go there too.
But before we step in,
they'll push us out.
So, I don't go there.
You've given everyone, right?
Can I have the whole pack?
The lord in Tirupati
is very powerful.
When you touch this laddu,
your life will change.
Or I'll change my name.
- Want to call yourself Sundal Rao?
Wife needed.
Are you a modern woman?
27 year old man who has gone
through many tests in life.
Are you willing to marry him
and make him happy?
Are you capable
of doing that?
I don't wish to state my race,
religion, caste, education..
...and language spoken
to limit my chances.
First applicant
will be given priority.
Why are you late
on your first day itself?
It's my leader's birthday.
I carried a milk container.
Who is your leader?
- Sugumar Babu.
Who is Sugumar Babu?
- Don't you know? He's an actor.
It's his birthday, you carried
a milk container for him.
When is your dad's birthday?
- Don't know.
Your mom's birthday?
- Don't know.
Do you at least know
your birthday?
How would I know these things?
- You don't your birthday.
But you carried a milk container
for an actor on his birthday.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Go and sit.
You're my students now.
No more birthday celebrations,...
...pasting postings,
hanging banners,...
...you shouldn't do
these things anymore.
When you go for meetings, they'll
take you respectfully in lorries.
Once his job is over,
he'll ditch you.
Right. Last week,
Thulukkanam did the same thing.
He took us for a meeting.
He promised to pay Rs15 and lunch.
Finally, he didn't even
give us water.
I had to borrow that day.
- Leader Thulukkanam!
Out!
- He didn't even give you water.
Then why call him leader?
You have a bad habit.
Everyone is a leader for you.
Can you call anyone your parents?
A leader is far nobler.
Before you call someone...
...a leader, you must think twice.
- Okay, leader.
You made me a leader too?
We're old, but you're young.
The future is in your hands.
I'll ask you a few questions.
Meet a few officials
and ask them those questions.
Help create awareness.
Wait! You use God's name
to make money.
You collect donations
in temples.
A group of thieves issue receipts
and notices for donations given.
No matter who comes into power,
you rob our temples.
Our youth movement is warning you.
- Be careful!
This is a government project.
But others are using...
...these materials
to build their houses.
You take bribe
from the contractor every week.
Our youth movement is warning you.
- Be careful!
Doctor, you work
in a government hospital.
So, you must treat
the poor for free.
But you send all your patients
to your hospital...
...registered under
your wife's name.
You're making
lots of money this way.
Our youth movement is warning you.
- Be careful!
Be careful!
I gave you sweets. Aren't you
going to ask the good news?
For me, happiness would be when
the military takes over India.
Have they taken over India?
- Dad, the sweet is for my wedding.
Are you in love as you know you
can't depend on me anymore?
I only know how to love
my dad and no one else.
Cry after eating.
- I'll cry and eat...
...at the same time.
- Dad, I need to get married.
I need to live
with my husband, have kids,...
...manage the household,
then die.
I'm against such a life.
But 99% are living
that way in India.
But they are not
Narayanan's daughter.
We need to reply
to that advertisement.
Let him come, we'll find out.
Then we'll decide.
Manju's house.....
- That one over there.
Vanakkam. Manju.....
- That's my daughter. You are.....
I'm Vasu. I gave
an advertisement in the papers.
Your daughter replied.
Come in.
This is not Mysore Palace,
enough of looking around.
What brought you here?
- Who should I speak to?
Normally I speak,
the rest would listen.
But today,
I'm fated to listen to you.
My advertisement would have
created doubts in you.
Was that an advertisement?
Rubbish!
I bet no one would have replied.
- I received one reply,...
...from your daughter.
- I told her not to reply.
She didn't listen.
So, I left it to her.
Sorry, I wrote the letter.
I haven't spoken to you yet.
I noticed you were sad, angry
and weak in your advertisement.
I realised that you were looking
for support from a woman.
It was a challenge to me,
so I replied to you.
Who are you, how is your family,
how serious is your problem,...
...I need to know these things.
I also want to know what you're
expecting from your future wife.
And most importantly,
what your future wife...
...should not expect from you.
If you can tell me
these things,...
...we can discuss further.
Shall I tell you or do you want
to come in person to see?
If you tell me,
you may hide certain details.
So, I'll come
and see in person.
Come in.
Didn't you rape me?
Old fool!
What is this?
- Catch her!
What is this? Catch her!
- I won't let you go.
Gayathri, listen to me,
put the knife down.
Say sorry, give them coffee.
- Sorry.
Uncle, sorry.
- I don't want, get lost!
That's my younger sister,
her name is Gayathri.
I think she's
psychologically disturbed.
Psychologically?
Why are you being nice?
Ask him if she is mad.
- Dad, she is not mad.
She's affected because
of something, that's all.
Make and do mean
the same thing.
It depends
on the person saying it.
For you,
she is psychologically upset.
For me, she is mad.
If she was mad, she wouldn't have
put the knife down when he came.
She wouldn't have given
coffee to her guests.
She wouldn't have apologised.
What happened to her?
She was the
best student in college.
One day,
she came home in a mess.
Either she must have been raped
or someone would have tried.
Didn't you take her
for a medical examination?
We would have lost
our reputation.
When did this happen?
- About six months ago.
So, she picks up the knife
whenever she sees a man?
It's fine if she
does it to a young man.
How old am I?
Why did she do it to me?
Would I rape at this age?
Younger brother?
- Yes.
Drunkard?
- Alcoholic.
He looks young.
How long has he been drinking?
About six month.
- Sister, six months, brother too?
Let's meet my dad.
- Is your dad six months?
What is this? It's his dad.
- Anything can happen here.
Why spare the man?
Let's go and meet him.
Hello, Narasa Reddy?
How are you?
You need to go to Hyderabad today.
The tender will be out today.
Yes, I got the information.
Hello! Who is that?
Appukutty Nair?
I'll come once
the government changes.
We need to register 40 acres.
- Is he a businessman?
He knows many languages.
- He is closing business...
...worth millions on the phone.
- They are all dummy phones.
Nothing is connected.
- Guessed when the bell was alike.
I need to key the clock.
Hello, good news. Your project
worth Rs2 million...
...has been approved.
He and his partner, Chandra Mouli,
did business worth millions...
...for 20 years in a company
called East India Exports.
Chandra Mouli cheated him.
- I'll tell the rest.
It happened six months ago. Right?
- How did you know?
It's not top secret.
I wonder what we
are going to see here.
How are you, mom?
I'm planning to get married.
They are here
to talk about it.
My mom has been suffering from
asthma for the past six months.
She can't talk, laugh or cry.
She only coughs 24 hours.
Careful, your
intestines may come out!
Mom.....
- Come out, it may be contagious!
Dad, what is this?
- You didn't give me an answer.
We've seen your house
and met everyone in your family.
We're so happy.
If you have a mortal enemy,
we can help you.
If God Himself is your enemy,
what can anyone do?
If we stay here any longer,
she'll start drinking,...
...I'll start making calls,
she'll start coughing,...
...I'll be walking around with
a knife in my hand. Let us go!
Let's go!
- Dad!
Dad, let me go.
You have no manners at all.
We shouldn't misbehave with friends
and potential friends.
We don't know them,
we're not going to know them.
It is not wrong
to misbehave with them.
"Manju, is a young girl.
You have to get her married."
I didn't say that,
your mom did.
Not that.....
- What? His dad is mad.
Mom has asthma.
Younger brother, a drunkard.
His sister is mad.
A cook who walks around with
a matchstick and kerosene in hand.
A haunted house.
I must allow you to live there?
Unless you say you won't
talk about this anymore,...
...I won't come here again.
I'll fast outside.
Give me a cup of tea.
Devar, we thought
it'll be here two days ago.
It didn't show up.
We waited yesterday.
It didn't come.
Will the body be here today?
They assured me the body
will be here this evening.
It is sad. I still can't forget how
your son looked two years ago.
Now, I have to see his body.
You shouldn't have sent
your son to the army.
He was your only son,
he died at 28.
I'm not sad, why are you?
He didn't die of a disease.
He didn't die
for any other reason.
He died while serving
his country.
A man should
make his country proud.
A lady should make her
family proud.
That'll make parents proud.
Gajendra!
- Coming!
Why are you in silk?
- I didn't expect this.
The girl who came the other day
managed to convince her dad.
Make some milk payasam.
- I don't get it.
We're getting married in Vijayavel
Murugan Temple in an hour.
Have you informed everyone?
They are not
in a position to listen.
The rest did not carry
themselves respectfully.
The rest did not carry themselves
respectfully to be told?
Whom did he mean? Me, right?
Where is the wedding?
Is DGP Velusamy home?
Yes, I'm asking for DGP Velusamy!
I'm the director
of East India Exports.....
Gajendra, you're family too.
Come on.
Let me remind all of you,
we just got married.
She will not do anything
to harm your freedom.
I'll explain that to her.
You just got married.
Go and buy fruits and flowers
for your first night.
Who is the boss? You or him?
Can't you go and buy?
I don't know what
is happening in this house.
Before that, you should know how
to carry yourself in this house.
Don't ask questions here,
just do what you're told.
I'm a 45 year old bachelor.
What would I know about it?
Boss, take him with you.
- Dad, don't be scared.
I came here to stay.
You can go now.
Let's go, dad.
Can you be alone with them?
- Go on, dad.
Call from Bombay, for you.
- How?
Today is an auspicious day.
Why don't you set me
on fire today?
What are you thinking?
Afraid?
I'm not afraid. Now, I feel
like setting myself on fire.
I can't stand to see
the reputation of this family...
...go down the drain.
What are you saying?
- I'll tell you.
It's true we needed someone
strong and daring.
But we didn't expect that person
to be our daughter-in-law.
Dad!
- Wondering how a mad man...
...can think this way?
Shall I talk about...
...American civilization
or the European economy?
Dad, I'm confused.
My partner, Chandra Mouli,
exported leather garments...
...worth Rs20 lakhs to Zambia
through me yesterday.
But I'm pretending
to be mad here.
You feel confused?
You think I don't feel confused?
Why are you pretending?
- It's not the time to tell now.
Dad!
Mom, please tell me.
What are you looking?
Even a healthy person...
...can't say this part
of Kandha Sashti Kavasam properly.
I'm an asthmatic.
I said it so well.
I don't understand.
- I'm pretending.
Why are you pretending?
- Not the time to tell you now.
If this is whiskey,
my hand would be on fire now.
This is Coca-Cola,
not whiskey.
I drink Coca-Cola,
and pretend to be drunk.
Why are you doing this?
- Not the time to tell you now.
Gayathri, it's clear now.
You're pretending too.
Why are you pretending?
I'm confused.
Tell me the truth
or my head will burst.
The elders were told
not to say anything.
Do you think I can tell you?
No!
Why are you pretending?!
No matter what it is,
I'll be able to endure it!
I can't take this mystery!
Tell me the truth!
Please tell me!
- When you came that day,...
...we should have
told you the truth.
We didn't tell you because
we didn't expect you to marry him.
Now, you're in this family.
I'll tell you now. Come on!
A phone in the kitchen.....
Sir, there is a call.
Sir, this is Gajendran.
We've told the girl that everyone
here is pretending...
...just as you said.
Now, she wants to know why.
Yes, please talk to her.
- Who is he?
Why should I talk to him?
- Don't ask questions.
Do what you're told.
Talk to him.
Talk.
You're controlling this family
through the telephone.
Who are you?
You'll face the biggest challenge
in your life tomorrow.
Why do you want
to face it today?
He hung up.
He didn't answer me.
Dad, brother is back!
- Quick, put it back!
Run! Keep this a secret.
Or we'll be in trouble.
We are good.
That's all I can tell you now.
Your husband shouldn't know
what happened here.
If he knows, he'll be in trouble.
You won't see him alive then.
Swear you won't tell him.
You swore.
He won't suspect anything
if you open the door. Go on.
I'll take that.
- Close the door.
Nothing happened here
after I left, right?
Your husband bought everything.
I couldn't buy anything...
...as I didn't have cash.
I bought some grapes.
You and your husband
must eat that first.
Brother!
- Vasu!
Sister!
What happened?
- Don't know, brother!
What happened?
- Vasu!
Sir, open the door!
Brother!
- Sir!
What happened to him?
He started strangling me
all of a sudden.
What is happening here?
- We can't tell you now!
How can you....
- Do you want us to tell you...
...or help Vasu.
- Who are you to say that?
We didn't determine your fate,
you did!
Go and sit by the side!
Get out!
Wait here.
Why are you waiting here? Come in!
- I'll stick to my word.
I won't come in until
this problem is solved.
Go in.
Get in!
Come out!
Gayathri, go with them!
Baskar, do you have money?
Doctor, get in!
Get in. We'll go to my house.
Get in.
Why go to your house?
- Do what you're told.
No! My husband was taken
to the hospital.
I want to be with him.
I won't come to your house.
He's telling you, get in.
- Listen to him, get in.
Sit. Look after the house.
- Okay.
The girl and Ramamoorthy are here.
Get three cups of coffee.
I don't want anything.
- My duty to give you.
It's your right whether you
want to drink or not.
Dad!
- A girl should be patient.
Even Mother Earth won't
be patient in such a situation.
Who is Mother Earth? You?
His daughter will come down now.
She is Mother Earth.
How are you?
Yes, I am.
No thanks! Who are you?
You're asking
what I'm supposed to ask.
Who are you?
- I'm Mrs. Manju Vasudevan.
You became Mrs. Vasudevan
only today.
I've been Mrs. Vasudevan
for a long time.
It's better to get help
from an enemy and friends.
Your friends couldn't
solve your problem.
You think I'm your enemy.
But I can solve your problem.
I like to help people.
No matter who it is,
I'm always on the side of just.
I don't care even
if I get affected.
If you trust me,
tell me what happened.
Just a minute.
I was the only daughter
of an influential millionaire.
I have no mother,
so dad pampered me.
My dad, prayer room,
mom's picture, temple,...
...they were everything to me.
I didn't have any desires
that girls my age would have.
One day when I went to college,
a storm hit me.
A depression formed.
Why are we having
this blood donation drive?
Only the poor meet
with accidents most of the time.
They can't afford
to buy blood.
So, we collect blood from students
like you and office workers...
...and hand them over
to the blood bank.
They keep it carefully
and help the poor.
Excuse me, someone left her purse.
Give it to the person.
Rich girls like you cut cake,
go on picnics...
...or have parties at home.
But you're feeding...
...the orphans here
on your birthday.
I don't know
how to praise you.
Who is he?
- He's generous just like you.
It's his dad's death
anniversary today.
So, he is giving away clothes
for the elder in this ashram.
Excuse me, I'm Uma.
I'm Chandra Mouli's only daughter.
He's a leading industrialist.
- I see. I've heard about him.
Sit down.
I've been watching you
for some time now.
Really? I'm surprised.
- Yes, I'm your fan.
Fan?
- Yes.
What did I do?
The song you sang in the temple,
the respect you showed...
...to the elders in the ashram,
the blood drive you had...
...in my college, you returned
the purse at the supermarket,...
...it is rare to meet
a responsible man like you.
You mean you love him?
Don't make it sound bad, dad.
It's not love, admiration.
He is a Mahathma.
Don't call him a Mahathma.
That's greed.
The man must be a good son-in-law
to me and a good husband to you.
He will be,
a perfect gentleman.
Come in, I was praying.
Mr. Narasimman, my daddy.
Vanakkam.
- May God bless you.
Sit down.
- You sit.
Careful!
I'm a typical businessman. I don't
know how to beat around the bush.
My daughter loves you.
We are worlds apart.
- If I want, I can upgrade...
...your status in no time at all.
After you get married,
my money is for you.
Find out about me first.
You were listening
to a devotional song.
I smell incense in your house.
What more should I find out?
When can you marry my daughter?
It'll be good if you can say...
...when can I hand over
the responsibilities...
...and my property to you?
This is about
your daughter's life.
Why don't you ask God first?
If I am going to get her married
to a man, I can check with God.
When I'm going to hand her over
to God, I don't need to ask Him.
Uma told me
everything about you.
You're the groom
I've been looking for.
I'll look for an auspicious date
and visit you again.
Don't tease me, dad.
I want a grandchild soon,
then I won't disturb you.
God!
- What?
I forgot my handbag.
- Are you sure you forgot...
...or you want to see him again?
Mathi, can you go back?
You promised to marry me.
I left my husband for you.
But you're getting married
to someone else.
Maria, we need money
if we want to be happy.
We need Uma for that.
You'll be my everything.
Those who want to succeed in life
would usually pick a course.
They'll study for 3-4 years.
I have no patience for that.
Instead of picking a course,
I picked a rich girl.
Without her knowledge,
I studied her for six months.
I found out her likes
and dislikes.
She didn't know I followed her,
I made her follow me,...
...that's the test I did.
Her dad said I'm the right
partner for his daughter.
That shows I've aced.
- You were only cheating women.
Now, you've cheated
the rich man.
Her dad promised to give me
his property after the wedding.
Let's see how long he lives.
If he doesn't go,...
...we'll send him off.
Then we'll drive Uma out.
Then we can enjoy their property.
How is my plan?
Uncle, this is my niece.
Do you kiss your niece?
Mr. Chandra Mouli, I've planned how
I'm going to enjoy your money.
I hope there will not be
any change in it.
Or your daughter will suffer.
Don't, I'm scum.
If you pick on me,...
...you'll be in trouble.
Get lost, you dog!
You walked in all of a sudden
and said you wanted to talk.
Now, we're seated on the table.
How can you keep quiet?
Tell us
what you have to say.
It's in my heart,
I just don't know how to say it.
We can't force the words
out of you. Come on, tell us.
Why are you hesitating?
I'm ready to sign any document
you tell me to sign.
My wife gives me the pen
without a question.
That is why I'm here.
I want Vasu to call me dad.
Call him dad.
Coffee, okay.
Milk, very good. What is this?
Hello!
- How is your honeymoon?
Did you see your photo?
- Who are you?
Photo 125, was taken
in the temple.
Your wife won't even let me
go to the temple alone.
Did you see the photo
taken in the college?
She wanted to become popular
in the college.
So, she told me to organise
a blood donation drive.
I did it.
I donated clothes during
my dad's death anniversary.
She came here too.
She brought her dad
to my house to discuss marriage.
I mean your father-in-law.
Didn't he tell you?
They are cheats.
They are cheating you.
The next photo
was taken in the temple.
The one where we are carrying
garlands. That's the one.
She got married to me secretly.
Her father found out.
He broke us apart.
I'm poor, so he sent me off.
You're rich, he got his
daughter married to you.
You're a lucky man.
Your wife is great looking.
She wasn't with me
for a long time.
So, forget it,
just accept her.
When we build a new house and move
in, we do house warming prayers.
If we move into an old house,
don't we do anything?
Don't we boil milk first?
Think that way.
Your wife is an old house.
Boss is back!
What happened?
Where is my brother?
I'm asking you, where is he?
- He is asleep.
Brother!
Dad,...
...he is drunk!
What's the matter?
He doesn't even chew betel leaves.
Why did he start drinking?
- I don't know.
Put it down.
Pour on his head.
- Don't.
I said pour!
- Don't.
Why did you bring the water?
Pour it on him.
What habit is this?
Dad, ask her to leave.
- Answer me first.
What habit is this?
- You poured water on my head.
I did that so that
you won't be drunk.
But your name is gone
as you drank.
I married her, she became my wife,
but she has another husband!
What about that shame?!
What did you say?
Look at these photos.
Your daughter-in-law's first
husband is in those photos.
She is married.
Don't believe those photos.
I don't know how he took it.
That man is a bad man.
I'm innocent.
Get out! Are you still here?
- Mom, Dad, believe me!
Tell your brother
I'm innocent.
Are you sure
she has another husband?
I don't believe.
What are you saying?
I'm not lying, it's the truth.
Her husband told me everything.
Get out!
Please listen to me.
- You poured water on me.
I've disowned her.
There's nothing to talk anymore.
Don't say that.
- Are you still here?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Get out!
What happened?
Ramamoorthy!
This problem involves me.
I'll handle it.
You're a cheat who hid
the fact that your daughter...
...was in love
with someone else.
The cheat also hid the fact that
he went to her lover's house...
...to propose marriage.
He hid the fact...
...about their marriage
that took place in the temple.....
No, they didn't get married.
Did you go to his house
to propose marriage?
Answer me!
- You have to be respectful.
Sit, dad, you're too innocent.
I wonder how else you got cheated.
Ramamoorthy, wait!
- He is blaming you!
I'm telling you to sit!
No one can separate...
...your dad
away from this cheat.
I don't mind you saying that
my daughter is not a good woman.
But you said I've been cheating
your family all along.
I can't take that.
I'll say this now.
I'll sell all my property,...
...that is my share
and not your dad's share,...
...until I prove
my daughter is innocent,...
...I won't step into this house.
My daughter
won't come here too.
I swear upon your dad.
I understand everything now.
But there is something
I do not understand.
Why did my father-in-law
and mother-in-law.....
I'm sorry.
Why did everyone pretend?
My husband is a good man,
he is honest.
I'm sorry,
our husband is a good man.
Our husband is honest.
But how can he be in peace
after he heard such a thing...
...about me
during our honeymoon?
Even after sending me away
from his house,...
...he couldn't forget
what happened.
He started drinking
and taking drugs.
He couldn't forget me either.
He couldn't forget
how I betrayed him.
He had a great wedding
in a wedding hall.
He used to drink
and sleep in front of the hall.
Finally, they took him
to a psychiatrist.
Please sit down,
Mr. Ramamoorthy.
He can't forget Uma
or forgive her.
The wound is deep.
We can't treat this with drugs.
We need to approach
it psychologically.
Parallel treatment
is the best for this.
To make the first line smaller,
we draw another longer line.
To make him forget his problem,
we must give him bigger problems.
You can say that you lost
heavily in your business.
Your wife can pretend
to be sick.
I understand what you're saying.
Gayathri and I...
...should create problems
for him. Okay?
This was when he placed
the advertisement.
Because he gave a postal box
as his mailing address,...
...we didn't know he placed
the advertisement.
You got married
and came into the house.
You know what happened
after that.
I've heard about you.
You're a smart girl,...
...why did you marry him
without finding out...
...if he was still a bachelor?
Narasimman cheated you
even though you're smart.
I'm the same too.
Both of us got cheated.
What to do?
Even Sita got cheated by Maarisan.
We are forms of Sita.
So men cheat us easily.
Now we have to make him understand
that Narasimman is a creep.
Can we do that?
We won't have Ramayana
if Rama had doubted Himself.
We wouldn't have Mahabharath
if Krishna had doubted Himself.
We wouldn't have Satyavan
if Savitri had doubted herself.
It's possible!
We must do it!
Do you know everything now?
What have you decided?
All our plans
didn't work out.
I got estranged.
Who benefited anything?
I feel mom sent her to us.
Come to the house tomorrow.
- I'm sorry.
I vouched not to step
into the house.
You need not come in,
we can talk in the garden.
Let's go, dad.
- Just a minute.
You came here
for the first time.
You promised
to help my daughter.
Have a cup of coffee.
Let's everything work out.
I'll have a feast here, dad.
Let your son stay in the
hospital until we can prove...
...that Narasimman is bad.
Mom, please stay with him.
Until I say so, don't bring him
back from the hospital.
I need some money.
- Tell me how much you need.
For now, a bungalow
and some cash.
I'll decide what and when
you should play your parts.
Manju's dad is coming.
- Let him come. What?!
Why is he coming here now?
Baskar!
Yes?
- Manju's dad is here.
Why is he here?
Don't know! Should we pretend?
- Sister didn't say anything.
Let's pretend, that safe.
Go and bring him in.
Look what she is doing. Come on!
Get the telephone.
- For what?
I need to pretend!
- Where is my liquor bottle?
What for?
- I need to pretend!
I look fresh!
- So what?
I don't look like I was raped!
He's a good man,
but he has gone mad.
Muneeswaran is dead!
Dad.
- Who is that? Come.
What is this?
- Look what your dad did.
My dad?
- Yes. He said we are possessed.
He brought a medium
and hit us with neem leaves.
Who told you to bring
the medium here?
You said my father-in-law
is possessed.
Then you hit everyone
with neem leaves.
What are you thinking?
What peace will I have...
...if you do this?
- The medium said.....
Dad, I'm begging you.
Please don't come
to this house anymore.
I have no one, but you.
If I let you come here,
I won't have a family.
Please go now.
May I see your husband
before I go?
He is.....
He'll be back late today.
If I don't meet your in-law,
you won't have any respect.
Let's me see her.
- She has gone to the hospital too.
She too?
Who else is in the hospital?
I have to go if you do this.
Please go, dad!
What are you looking?
- I can hear a telephone ringing.
Something is wrong with your ears,
so you're hearing things.
No, I can hear the phone.
- I don't hear anything! Now go!
I can hear!
- Dad!
It has stopped ringing now.
I'll go, I won't come
until you call me.
I won't come
if you don't call me.
Bye! She is saying
my hearing is bad.
Everything is wrong
in this house!
Sister, I don't understand you.
You scolded your dad,
now you're crying.
The part that scolded
was your sister-in-law.
I'm crying because
I'm still his daughter.
My dad is sad because he
thinks I have small problems.
If he knows I have a serious
problem, he won't live.
So, it'll be good if he doesn't
come here for some time.
Okay, let's get back
to our problem.
I know where Narasimman
is working.
He is the boss in a tourist
company along Eldams Road.
You have to go there
in the morning.
Mr. Narasimman?
- Yes.
Y.X. Narasimman?
Do you rent out vehicles?
I'm Anandakrishnan, the
Madras agent for a millionaire...
...in Bombay. The man wants to
build a five-star hotel in Madras.
To look for a site
for the hotel, his daughter.....
He only has one daughter
and she's a bachelor.
She is pretty too.
She is coming here
with her assistant tomorrow.
I need two cars to receive her.
They must be in good condition.
I need good drivers too.
She is the only heir
to the rich man.
You're saying she is rich and
wants to build a five-star hotel.
It's a good business opportunity.
I'll do this job myself.
Mr. Anandakrishnan, how are you?
- I'm good. How is dad?
He's fine.
This is Mr. Narasimman.
He's our driver.
Where are you going?
Carry this bag.
Anandakrishnan, I'm over here!
- Get in!
Why are you so tensed?
You have not changed at all.
You have to respect her, but must
you push me back into the car?
Anandakrishnan,
get the bags in.
Agent, get the bags.
- Agent?
Yes, don't question me.
We must listen to PM and CM.
PM and CM?
- Yes, big boss is PM.
The one behind is CM,
small madam.
You?
- Haven't you met me? MLA.
MLA?
- ML Anandakrishnan. Get the bags!
Not MLA, but MLC.
Fool!
Driver, put the bags inside!
Same bin! Right!
- There is no road to the right.
Then turn left!
- That is a five-foot-way.
Give him proper directions.
- Right, then left.
No, left, then right.
Just go straight.
That's what I'm doing.
- Okay.
Total, 10 acres.
150 coconut trees...
...and 58 mango trees.
Five acres can be used
for agriculture.
You'll get good yield.
Good water supply.
Five wells altogether.
Five, right?
What else?
Price!
- Tell her the price!
Rs50 lakhs.
As a deposit, I want Rs500.
He wants Rs500 as deposit
for a land worth 50 lakhs!
Give me Rs300
if you can't afford Rs500.
I don't think he's the owner
of this property.
If I'm not the owner,
who else can it be?
The original owner
had two wives.
The first wife
has two daughters and a son.
The second wife has two sons
and a daughter.
Until the owner died,
no one came here.
My mom and I
were looking after this farm.
How can they suspect me?
- How was the owner...
...related to your mom?
- My mom was his mistress.
Mistress?
The owner had three wives?
- Yes.
Seven children?
- No, six.
How? First and second wives
had three children each.
Including you, seven.
- I'm not the owner's son.
Your mom was his wife?
- Yes.
The you're the owner's son?
- No.
How is that so?
- My mom met the owner...
...after I was born.
My mom was the owner's wife.
But my dad is not the owner,
he's someone else.
But the property is mine.
Now, explain to her.
Madam, the owner's mom....
My mom was his wife,
but he's not my dad.
But his property is mine.
I've filed for a case.
I'll win! The property is mine!
Don't go, come back!
Five-star hotel here?
Forget about hotels customers,...
...I don't think you'll find
any workers here.
Pugazhenthi, come on!
Why are you late?
- Haven't got the keys yet.
You said you'll get it today.
- Thought the tenant will move out.
He didn't move out!
The tenant hasn't moved out.
He doesn't have the key.
What shall we do?
- Tenant hasn't moved out.
What are you saying?
- It's a huge land.
There is a small house
in the centre.
The tenant doesn't
want to move out.
Only if he moves,
the owner will get his keys.
Only then we can buy
the land and house.
After we buy the house,
we'll redo the house...
...and name it Five Star.
- Five star is not a name,...
...but a grade for hotels.
We need many rooms...
...and space for parking.
- That's not a problem.
Tell her, Pugazhenthi.
- You can park two Ambassadors...
...close to each other
and three Maruthis.
Cycle?
- You can park 15 cycles.
I've sent many faxes
over the past month.
And the two of us came here
only to see a graveyard.
What's the tea shop man's name?
- Pugazhenthi.
Yes, did we come here
to see his bald head?
Madam, you're hot.
Can I get you some juice.....
Look how much money I brought.
Such a waste!
Sorry for interfering.
You need a land to build
a huge five-star hotel, right?
And you need to finalise the land
deal within 48 hours, right?
If you don't mind,
may I try looking for a land?
I'm not bragging,
but I don't take no for an answer.
Okay, try.
This land belongs to the zamindar.
You won't have any problems.
Huge land,
the place is busy too.
It'll be great if we can build
a five-star hotel here.
You found this place
within 24 hours. You're great!
Hello, daddy, Manju here.
Very fine, daddy.
I got the land for Rs2 crores.
Take the flight here in the
morning, we'll pay the advance.
It's a great place, daddy.
Mr. Narasimman
finalised the deal.
He runs a tourist company.
With your permission,
may I give him a party?
If you don't mind, may I
order a drink for myself?
Up to you.
- Thanks.
I'll take red wine.
- Do you drink?
I drink when I'm happy or sad.
This is common in Bombay.
I'm happy.
You found a good place for me.
I'll help you to earn
a good name in South India.
Will you only help me
earn a good name?
Won't you be my company?
This one is for that man.
This is for madam.
This is for you.
That one?
- For me.
I don't want it,
you can have it.
I'm glad to have you
as my students.
It's not easy to give
500 people free food.
The rich man gave you
the responsibility.
That's even great. Normally,
they make politicians do it.
Yes, people have faith
in our Youth Movement.
Yes, there are youth movements
in every township nowadays.
Now we only have
to stand for election.
We'll do it!
- Careful, don't die.
Pachaiyappan from Kamarajar Nagar.
- That's me.
Pachaiyappan,
youth movement leader.
Good man, I've found out.
Next Sunday, we'll give free
food in 100 places in Madras.
We'll give food for 500 people
in each centre.
You must give food
to 500 people in your area.
Don't cheat,
we'll come on our rounds.
We'll come and check.
Go in and collect your money.
He's my guru, give it to him.
- Here you go.
Bye.
- We'll do everything properly.
Did you give
me the right amount of money?
Don't get me wrong.
One gives, the other takes.
This has become common.
Bye.
Pachaiyappa.
- Yes?
Everything must go one well.
I have some work.
I'll come back later.
- Okay. Come on, let's get to work.
Vanakkam. Why are they
giving free food?
Boss told me not to tell anyone.
But I have to tell someone.
They're giving free food so
that my lady boss will be happy.
What happened to her?
- Husband and wife are estranged.
Any chances for them to patch up?
- What?
When a couple have problems,
parents would patch them up.
Or in-laws or family
would patch them up.
But have you seen any
second wife trying her best...
...to patch her husband
with his first wife?
Second wife?
- Yes, this lady is the first wife.
What's the second wife's name?
- Boss calls her God.
But others call her Manju.
Dad, Narasimman believes
that I'm a rich woman.
He also believes
that I love him.
He thinks my dad
lives in Bombay.
Come as my dad
from Bombay tomorrow.
Pretend that you agree
that we get married.
Make all arrangements
for the wedding.
I'll handle the rest.
There is a flight
from Bombay in the morning.
I want you to come out
as a passenger as my dad.
I could only give You food so
that my daughter would have...
...a good life. I have no money.
You must help me.
Why are You taking so long
to drink? Faster, I have work.
What are you doing?
Make all the calls you
want in the toilet.
Someone did not wash the toilet,
put me in the next toilet.
You'll be fine there.
What are you looking?
I'm here. Shall we go?
Let's go!
What's happening?
We thought my dad
would come as your dad,...
...but your dad came
as your dad.
We've made arrangements for
your engagement with Narasimman.
What are we going to do now?
How are you dressed?
- What about you?
You removed your beard too.
You look good.
Don't think you're being smart.
If you jump 8 feet,...
...your young would jump 16 feet.
But if you jump 16 feet,...
...I'll jump 32 feet.
You are my world.
You're worried about
everyone in this world,...
...but you're not bothered
about your dad.
Your husband has another wife.
Everyone in his family
are pretending.
Your husband is in the hospital.
Did you tell me any of these?
You want a creep
to confess the truth.
You want your husband to hear
that so that he'll go back...
...to his first wife.
Isn't this your plan?
What about your life?
You'll be a divorcee.
Which dad will endure that?
You didn't want me to stop you...
...from doing this, you told me
not to come to your house.
You're going to get engaged
to Narasimman tomorrow.
Preparations are on the way.
I don't know what you're going
to do during the function,...
...but one thing is certain.
The function will go on.
I'll come as your dad.
And I'll stop the function.
You were selfless,
when did you become selfish?
Who else do I have?
I only have you.
When it comes to the public,
I'm selfless.
When it comes to you, I'm selfish.
Your life is important to me.
Don't botch up your life.
Ladies and gentlemen,
soon a disgrace will happen here.
My daughter who is already married
will get engaged again.
All of you are here
for the engagement.
And you're drinking to it.
- Dad!
Quiet! She said I'm a rich man.
I'm a beggar.
After the 20th,
we won't even have food.
I had to rent this coat.
She said I'm from Bombay.
Haven't even been out
of Renigunta.
I've only seen Bombay
on the map.
You may ask what the party is for.
It's because of this creep.
What's the matter?
I tried to imagine what my dad
would do in tomorrow's function.
I got scared.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have
an important announcement to me.
That is why we invited you here.
Thanks for coming.
But when I make the announcement,
I want my daughter to be here.
Ladies and gentlemen,
what is about to happen.....
My dad has been
in Bombay for too long.
So, he's not that good in Tamil.
So, he'll read what I wrote.
Please don't get him wrong.
I can't speak Tamil?
- Read what is written here.
Do what you're told.
I'm the actor,
you're the director?
The young tiger
has jumped 64 feet.
Didn't I tell you?
He can't even read what I wrote.
Here you go, dad.
Read from here.
I welcome everyone here...
...who came for my
daughter's engagement.
I'm proud to introduce
to you my future son-in-law,...
...Narasimman.
Enough. I won't be able
to read if you keep clapping.
Narasimman will put the engagement
ring on my daughter's finger.
Give it to her?
- You have to give.
So, everything
is going by the book?
Dad!
- Here you go.
Stop it!
This man is already married,
how can he get engaged again?
What are you saying?
- This is your thali.
Did I marry you?
- Yes, you did.
This is the photo we took
on our wedding day at the temple.
Please look at it.
See how many photos
we have taken together.
You cheated me!
Dad, let's go!
- No, I'll stay here.
Aren't you sad?
- Not a bit.
No, you'll be sad.
Can you come with me?
You're too much!
Where is he?
Come on!
Boss is yelling at me, he wants
to go back to Bombay right now.
He said he won't come back
to Madras. What did you do?
Tell me what happened.
I'll explain to him.
Do you want to marry madam or not?
- I want to.
Then tell me the truth.
You won't say? You're not lucky
to be a rich man's son-in-law.
Anandakrishna,
I'll tell you everything.
Don't tell anyone.
- I swear, I won't tell anyone.
Tell me.
So, you didn't marry Uma?
- No.
You didn't even touch Uma?
- No.
So, what you told Uma's husband
in Kodaikanal is not true?
Yes.
- Why did you do this?
For money,
don't keep asking the same thing.
Don't tell this to anyone,
please get us married.
I won't tell anyone.
What if they tell?
Who?
- The ones coming behind.
Come on!
This is the man. Look him
under all the sections.
Don't beat him, kill him.
I'm sorry.
Can you take your hand away?
What is this?
Why are you crying like a baby?
Please, that's enough.
Let me go.
Hold his hand.
- Don't be crazy.
I only wanted him to know
that I'm a good woman.
I don't want to be married
to a man who suspected me.
Do you know how much I suffered?
- Was he happy?
If you had told him about
Narasimman on your first night,...
...you wouldn't
have faced this problem.
Women do not trust men.
They don't tell them anything.
Men believe women?
Did you tell me about...
...your first wife
before we got married?
Did you trust me?
It's okay,
I'm just a passenger.
A passenger in a train.
I got into the train in Arakkonam,
I'll get down in Kadpadi.
Manju, you're not a passenger,
you're my wife.
Are you saying because of this?
This is just an ID.
I needed it to enter your house
and solve your problems.
Your problem is solved now.
I don't need this ID anymore.
- What are you saying?
Remove this thali and drop it
into the donation box.
What are you saying?!
I feel like dying.
If you don't want us to be sad,
this is the only option.
No, I won't agree to this!
Do you want to share a husband?
Like Valli and Theivanai?
Even Muruga couldn't handle it.
Valli lived in Thiruthani,...
...Theivanai lived
in Thiruparankundram.
It won't work.
Remove it.
Manju, listen to me.
- Mr. Vasu, I don't want...
...to be your wife,
why do I need your property?
Please remove it.
I'm just a normal girl.
I eat food like everyone else.
I have feelings too.
When I see men and women
walking together,...
...I don't want
to get disturbed,...
...if I don't want to think about
living with my husband again,...
...this thali
should not be on me.
Please remove it.
I have one request.
Forget the past, including me.
Hello, Mr. Ramamoorthy,
how are you?
How will I be good?
A girl I know won the race,...
...but she lost her medal.
You proved
your daughter's innocence.
You can go to their house now.
Go on.
I don't like to go there.
When one Mahaletchumi is going in,
another Mahaletchumi is leaving.
You acted so well
in my drama.
I'll call you
when I need your help again.
You must come.
Now, you're pretending as
everything is back to normal.
I'm not your
sister-in-law anymore.
You will always be our sister.
Kamatchi, you fool!
You said so many things...
...for an hour before you died.
Who will Manju have after me?
I'm not asking you, I'm asking your mom.
