The 'Birds award', an award that is
exclusively for wildlife bird photographs,
The award function that is scheduled
to be held on December 17th,
will have the President of India,
as the Chief Guest.
Environmentalists and Photographers,
from all over the world...
Few years back...
Brother, can you stop near that left?
-Yes sure.
-There.
-Thanks, brother.
-Sure.
What kind of a child is he?
Who knows where he has gone,
in this cold?
In how many places will I look for him?
He should come home at some point.
-Let him come.
-Uncle!
-I'm here.
-Hey!
Where did you go?
Where are you roaming around happily,
instead of coming to pick me?
Are you fooling me?
Your mother called at 4 in the morning,
and told me that you were coming.
I went to the bus-stand even
in this cold weather.
You were missing.
Even when I know this place well,
I've been looking for you,
in all streets and lanes,
and you are saying,
that I didn't come to pick you?
Can't we get signal here?
Your phone is not reachable,
and my phone has no signal.
Even your phone is unreachable?
How will you get it?
You can't get it there.
So, where did his highness go?
Don't you know where I
would've gone uncle?
I went inside the forest to take pictures.
In an unknown place?
What if something happens?
Your mother is calling.
-Talk to her.
-Hello!
Tell me sister!
How are you? Did you eat?
What do you mean by
'How are you?'
I'm already tensed that my son is missing,
and you are asking me if I ate?
Wait! I went looking for your son
and haven't eaten yet.
Your son has come, and he is here.
I finally feel some relief.
Are you relieved?
You said you were going to look
for a girl, what happened?
He said he didn't want any girl.
Oh no!
Not for him, I meant for me.
What! For you?
You seem to be shocked?
The girl's family said they didn't
want you, since you are very old.
-Look!
-Uncle!
You cut the call?
I'm old it seems!
Is 42 years old?
Huh?
Fine, 44 years!
-What!
-Hey!
I swear I'm 44 years old,
shall I show you my Aadhar card for proof?
-Yeah I believe you, open the door first.
-You should believe me.
Your camera comes out as soon as
you see trees or waterfalls!
Come here, drink this coffee.
Uncle, you said you were a manager here.
-Yes.
-But you are living like the owner here.
Why are you talking so loud?
The owner felt sad for me and has asked
me to stay here and take care of repairs.
Why would you spoil it by shouting?
Oh no!
First tell me how long you
plan to stay here,
which are the forests you want to go,
what is the project, tell me everything
How do I explain?
Do you know National Geographic Channel?
Similarly, there is a channel called,
TamilNadu Adventure.
I have joined there.
A bird called 'Laughing Thrush'.
Apparently it comes here in this season.
So, until I can take a picture of it,
I will be here.
Why should that bird come in this season,
and ruin my life?
I mean, how did you get this assignment?
Do they give it,
or do you ask them for this work,
because you love these forests?
-Huh?
-Leave that aside.
Do you know someone who has
in-depth knowledge of these forests?
In-depth knowledge?
There is someone called Ghulam Ali.
He knows these forests well.
But, he is an eccentric guy.
He is also an egoistic guy.
-I will handle him, just point me to him.
-Alright.
Hey Charu!
Come quickly.
Here he comes!
No matter how much I try, it doesn't seem
to be possible to rectify him.
Michael?
Why are you late?
I had to unload the goods, that's why.
Did it take time to unload or,
were you roaming around?
Why would I roam around a place
I know well?
Sit down to eat.
See, my brother has come.
Go and get something to eat.
Should I tell you that as well?
Where is Charu?
You come in drunk,
she will come and stand in
front of you everyday.
You and your face.
What is this?
Look, stop drinking from tomorrow,
get a hair cut,
and dress well.
Do you understand?
Did Charu agree to it?
What is there for her to agree to?
I can't take care of her anymore.
Before this Christmas,
I'm going to ask Father to fix a
wedding date for you two.
Sister!
You are not my sister,
you are my God!
All that is fine,
look,
just get rid of that nonsense!
-I can't sit near you.
-You just get me married...
Start saving money.
You need money to get married.
Charu!
You are here?
Bye!
Uncle!
I just heard that Michael and I
are to be married,
why are you silent about it?
Don't you know that I
don't like Michael?
What can I do?
She has already decided.
Jude!
Hey Jude!
Hey Jude!
Charu has come.
-What?
-Come.
-Don't ring the bell.
-You first come.
The baby is sleeping.
-Alright, just come.
-I'll come, you wait near the bridge.
Come quickly.
Hey!
What are you thinking of
for so long?
Tell me quickly.
Why don't you just elope with someone?
Elope?
You know Murugan from the
super-market,
his sister-in-law Kumudha
did just that.
Is it?
Murugan tried to marry his
sister-in-law Kumudha as well.
But, do you know what Kumudha did?
What did she do?
She eloped with the guy who
packs things in Murugan's shop.
That's good.
You also do something like that.
That is the only answer to your problem.
Er...
But...
-I don't know any packer guy!
-You idiot!
Fall in love with some guy.
Only if you love someone,
you can elope with him.
Hmmm?
-Love?
-Yes!
Has anyone told you that you
look very pretty?
Hi darling, Charu!
I'm here, egg uncle!
Charu!
Charu dear,
You are so beautiful!
-Shall I go?
-You are telling these people?
Where do you stand,
and where do these people stand?
The engineer guy who is living
in your house,
why not think about him?
He is educated and also looks decent.
Didn't you go to work today?
I had some work in Kunoor,
so I went and I'm just coming back.
Oh! Didn't you take your bike?
The thing I like most around here
is to travel by train.
So wherever I go, I go by train.
Will you also take me by train once?
-Huh?
-Sure.
He is the right guy for you.
Somehow fall in love with him,
you just run away from this place,
now let me go.
Hey wait! Wait! Jude!
Birds are different,
and each one is unique!
Greetings, sir!
Who are you?
Huh?
Sir!
I've come to see you.
About what?
-The bird called 'Nilgiri Laughing Thrush',
-So?
I need to photograph it
for a project in my channel.
I was told that you will know about it.
So...
You will take pictures of that bird
and get a name for yourself,
will I just sit here and lick myself?
Over the last 15 years,
for that one bird,
I'm waiting here with this
expensive camera.
You are here to ask my idea, take pictures,
and get world famous.
What big camera do you have?
Show me.
Show me, man!
This looks like a bag those
parrot astrologers carry.
Huh?
What are all these things
he is taking out of his bag?
Sir!
It broke!
You broke it.
I broke it?
Yes.
Sorry.
Do you know how much it costs?
It would be around Rs. 200, online.
But it would cost Rs. 2000 at the store.
2000? This camera costs 2 lakh rupees!
Is this a camera?
Why is it so small?
Here, keep this big camera instead.
Are you making fun of me?
You don't even have an idea about the type
of cameras that wildlife photographers use,
and you call yourself a bird watcher?
Alright.
What now?
Pay me Rs. 2 lakhs for breaking my
camera and I'll leave.
Son, I'm just learning to
become a bird watcher.
How can you ask two lakh rupees,
without a conscience?
You say you photograph birds
and study them.
But you didn't study me, son!
You also didn't learn about me.
When I asked you about the bird,
you spoke too much unnecessarily.
What do you want now?
You want to know about that
Nilgiri bird.
Is that it?
On the way to Mysore,
at a distance of about 8 kilometers,
there is a wooden bridge
near Hungerford.
The bird comes there.
Go and take your pictures.
-I'll see you.
-Best of luck!
Why are you sulking?
I'm asking you.
Won't you talk to me?
Tell, what happened?
The idea you gave was useless.
Kathiravan sir!
-Kathiravan sir!
-He is not here.
He vacated the house last evening,
and left to Chennai.
-When will he come back?
-No idea.
No idea?
Ah!
What Charu!
Is this the end card for your story?
Don't tease me.
I'm scared.
-Save me from that drunk Michael, please.
-Is it?
Aah! There is a way!
Go and tell your story to that bird,
it will definitely help you.
-Help me?
-Yes, it will definitely help you.
Not just that, it goes back and forth
to Madras and Ooty everyday.
What are you saying?
-It goes everyday and comes everyday?
-Yes!
Go and tell, your problem will
get solved in just two days!
It will unite both of you.
-Hey Jude!
-I need to get milk for the baby, bye.
She seems to be coming in between
now and then and disturbing.
Who is she?
You are not the 'Laughing Thrush'!
But, you are also pretty!
Hmmm!
Hey!
Move aside.
Hey you!
Hey!
It's going to fly away!
Hey!
I wanted to take you home,
but my step-mother will
sell you off.
You also seem to be sick.
It is sad to look at you.
I don't even know what you like.
I just have this fruit and this biscuit
with me,
do you like this fruit,
or this biscuit?
What! 'Fruit or biscuits'?
I don't even know what you like.
Eat something.
Look at that!
Do you like fruits,
or biscuits?
Tell!
Tell!
Hey!
You!
Hello!
Hey wait!
Hey Charu!
-When will you accept my love?
-Let me go!
-Let me go John!
-You are cheating me Charu!
-I have to go home, my step-mother will shout.
-Understand me Charu!
-Hey! Hey!
-Charu! Charu!
-What happened?
-Who are you?
You want to know who I am?
It doesn't matter, who I am,
why are you disturbing her?
She is my darling... hey!
Hey! Let go off her cycle.
How many times do I ask.
You come.
You come.
-Charu he is acting very smart!
-You will see.
-Let's see what you can do.
-How dare you lay hands on me!
Charu!
Listen! Wait.
Who is he? What is his problem?
He is mechanic John.
He belongs to our church.
He is always creating problems
with me.
Thankfully you came.
Oh!
I am Charal Anthony Johnson.
Everyone calls me Charu.
When you saw me at the wooden bridge,
and started laughing at me,
I mistook you, out of fear.
-Sorry.
-It's ok, not a problem.
What about you?
I'm Surya, wildlife photographer.
What does that mean?
That means, my job is to photograph
animals and birds in the wild.
-Oh!
-You were talking to a bird back there,
similarly there is a bird called
'Laughing Thrush'.
I've come to take photos of it.
Oh!
So, you also like birds?
I love birds.
We have a lot of colorful
birds in our house.
But, my step-mother will sell everything.
-Oh!
-I don't like that.
I had a very cute bird called Chella!
But, my step-mother sold that as well.
It used to call me by my name, you know!
Does that mean, you know about
all types of birds?
How can someone who was born and brought
up in these mountains, not know about birds?
I know them very well.
Oh! Hmmm.
Where are you staying here
I'm staying with my uncle, Mr. Ethiraj.
Do you know VN tea factory?
He works there.
Oh Ethiraj brother!
I know him.
-You know him?
-Where have you come from?
Chennai!
-Chennai?
-Hmmm
-Really?
-Yes!
Does that mean you know
everyone in Chennai?
Charu!
What are you doing here?
Your step-mother is searching
for you there!
Oh no! I have to go home now.
Else, my step-mother
will break my bones.
I'll leave now, bye.
Hello!
When can we meet again?
Come to the bird shop.
Where is it?
Mylanji bird park, everyone knows!
Oh!
-Bye!
-Bye!
Who is he? He looks new!
Er... he is a photographer it seems.
He has come from Chennai.
I'm thinking of asking him
to help me.
How will you ask him for help,
without knowing anything about him?
After you move with him a few days,
if he seems like a good guy, ask him.
Alright.
He looks different!
-Do you like fruits,
-or do you like biscuits?
Huh?
Fruits or biscuits?
Tell me! Fruits, or do you like biscuits?
I like liquor very much.
Why are you talking to yourself?
That... er... it's nothing uncle.
Since, the weather is not right,
this is how you will talk.
Come and just sleep.
He's Madras!
If only he can help me,
all my problems will be solved.
This pet shop, Michael, step-mother,
I won't have any of these!
I'll be free and happy.
This looks good.
Madam, how much are these love birds?
-They are Rs. 300.
-Oh!
Check out that parrot,
it looks good.
Hey buddy! That bird looks
much better than these!
-Yeah!
-Hey!
-What do you want?
-Why, madam?
-We came to buy love birds.
-Those are not for sale, leave!
Come man. We came to buy a parrot,
but the owl has come
-Why did you chase those customers?
-Can't you figure out from those faces?
Here, go and buy everything
from this list.
-Sure.
-Check the fruits before buying.
Sure, step-mother.
Hey! Hi!
Hi!
You said everyone knows your shop name,
but, no one seems to know!
Did you ask for my name?
-No!
-That's the problem.
If you had asked for my name,
they would've known.
-Where are you going?
-I'm off to the market, coming?
-Sure, let's go.
-Come.
-Do you always go everywhere in your cycle?
-Yes!
Here you go!
Brother, my step-mother has given
this list, put everything in this.
Alright.
Listen!
Here, eat!
Brother, pack this apple as well.
Sure.
I need you to do me a favour.
What favour?
I had asked you about the
'Laughing Thrush' bird.
What bird?
Laughing Thrush, I asked
you even yesterday!
Oh that! That is my friend as well.
Brother how much?
It is Rs. 450!
Here you go.
Thanks brother!
Come, let's go.
Do you remember, where you
last saw the bird?
-That... er...
-Can you take me there?
I have seen a lot of birds,
and have spoken to them,
but I don't remember where I've seen it.
Shall I think and tell?
Please think.
Hey corn!
-Shall we eat?
-Hmmm!
Can you think about that bird,
once you reach home?
I will surely think about it.
Thank you!
-This is the favourite spot for Jude and I!
-Is it?
-It is very good!
-Thanks!
Hey! What are you doing?
We've become friends now, right?
So I will pay for this.
This is my treat!
I have to leave now,
-alright?
-Sure.
-Come to the Hara forest tomorrow!
-That forest?
-I will come.
-Bye!
Alright, bye!
He has said he will come for me.
Anyone else should get an appointment,
wait and only see him.
Now do you understand Charu's power?
Yes I understand. Thanks.
He's here.
-Speak responsibly.
-Okay.
Hi Charu!
You called me for something urgent?
Uncle, this is my friend I told you
over the phone.
This is Surya.
-Oh him?
-What did you say the bird's name was?
The name of the bird?
-Tell.
-Hey! I've already met him.
He doesn't know anything.
Hello!
I don't know who you are,
then why will I tell you
everything if you ask?
How can you tell that I don't
know anything?
Tell me if you know.
I will not tell you,
even if I know.
I can tell you for Charu's sake.
Listen to me carefully.
If you go straight in Mysore route,
from here,
there is a place called Glenmorgan.
If you take a right from Glenmorgan,
you will come to a place called Panthalur.
If you go straight from Panthalur,
there will be a big forest to your right.
Again take right and go inside,
you will reach a huge waterfall.
If you just need to listen to the sound
of the water and go,
you will come to a huge gorge.
Get into the gorge and go,
you will come to a huge rock.
If you take a look from the rock,
is Vedanthangal.
If you take your camera there,
-all the birds come and bathe, sing,...
-Uncle, enough!
I don't understand anything uncle.
Did you understand?
Uncle!
It will be good, if you take us there.
Charu, I'm very busy.
I don't have time.
Uncle, please.
Since you asked, I will do it.
I will take you.
Thank you uncle.
Go and get your camera.
Son, I have a new camera.
Do you need it?
No need.
I will get my camera.
Its quite advanced. It seems he doesn't
know to use it.
This 'Laughing Thrush' is
like lightning.
Only I will be able to see it.
It was banned in India.
From Pakistan border,
it will fly and come.
Have you also seen?
What do you mean if I've seen?
It sits on my shoulder and
sings while laughing.
So called 'Laughing Thrush'.
In the early days, it used to eat
whatever I fed it.
Now, after flying all over the world,
it has eaten burger and pizzas,
and has spoiled it's health.
-Is it uncle?
-Don't make noise.
-Why uncle?
-Because,
the mountain snake has laid eggs.
-Look at him building lies.
-How do you know that uncle?
I will find it out with its smell.
Is it?
You are a genius uncle.
You are saying what everyone
else is saying.
Won't it hear if we are loud?
Listen, it cannot hear.
It will be able to feel us walk
with our vibrations.
Do you understand?
Oh!
Come here, son.
Come quickly.
Tell me, sir.
In this place,
keep this tree as your centre.
It will come in sometime.
Keep your camera ready,
and take as many pictures you want.
-We can leave soon. What do you say?
-No,
it will not come here.
-We need to go in-depth,
-What death?
No, I meant, we need to go deeper.
Let's go further.
There are tribals living further deep.
There is no guaranee for our lives.
You better know it.
Just be quiet.
The other day, I was also very curious,
and went further inside.
Only after I went, I realised,
that a bear was looking at me.
I looked at the bear,
the bear looked at me.
I got very angry.
I held it by its tail and spun it around.
It fell in Namakkal Anjaneyar temple.
We don't have to worry about it anymore.
Got it?
But in that fight,
you know what happened to me?
The bear spit on me and I lost my hair.
That is why I'm telling,
we shouldn't go there.
Take your photo, from here...
Photo?
Photo!
Charu!
Charu?
Charu!
Charu!
Where did they go?
I never come to this area at all.
They asked me to show this and that,
and left me in the middle of the forest.
Charu!
What!
It sounds like a bear!
Charu!
Charu?
Charu!
Where did they go?
Charu?
Hey photographer?
I don't know anything!
I haven't seen anything other
than crows and sparrows.
Where are you, I can hear bears now.
Hey!
Why did you leave me alone?
Charu!
Hey! Look at that!
Take a photo of that.
-Take a photo of that.
-Did we come to take a picture of that?
-Click, it will be good.
-What is this...
You are...
Take!
Click!
What happened?
Why are you trembling?
Shall I hold it?
I'll hold it.
I'm here.
I'll hold it for you.
-I'm fine.
-Click.
Did you click? Show!
It looks good, doesn't it?
It is cute.
Shall we go?
You are taking pictures of everything,
take a picture of me too.
-You are right.
-Yes!
-Take a picture of me.
-I didn't take a picture of you!
-You should take good pictures.
-Yeah right.
The jungle koel is singing
in an all new tune!
-Are they good?
-Listening to it,
-Show me.
-my mind goes...
-wow wow wow!
-Looks good, doesn't it?
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
My heart is on fire,
while my youth is enjoying it.!
The jungle koel is singing
in an all new tune!
Listening to it, my mind goes,
wow, wow, wow!
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
My heart is on fire,
while my youth is enjoying it
My heart is on fire,
while my youth is enjoying it
The jungle koel is singing
in an all new tune!
To admire all the beauty around us,
a pair of eyes is not enough!
While I'm here admiring you,
you are searching for something else!
Love plays a game with all the
young and innocent minds!
It imprisons them without any shackles,
or without the knowledge of the prisoners!
The jungle koel teaches us the
freedom in music!
Even when the music is within bounds,
it will never stay within!
It is plesant to think about!
The mind is flying somewhere!
This is time's kind gift to us!
-Hello mom!
-Yes son!
Nothing mom, I just called.
You have called me early morning.
Are you going to tell me something good?
Er...

Yes, I will come.
-Come soon.
-Sure I'll be there.
How do I tell her?
I am in love with you...

I should just tell her, 'I love you'.
That is better.

I wanted to tell you something important.
I also have something

Hmmm
How can I?

It seems she is in love with
someone else, mom!
-What are you saying?
-She needs my help to get together with him
What are you going to do now?
What can I do?
I like her.
But she likes him.
Let her be the girl, I like.
You don't worry about anything.
Nothing of that sort.
I'll call you in the morning.
-Bye.
-Alright.
Hi!

Do you know that?
I was in,
love with you.
Do you know that?
This is good.
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Honestly, the depth of love
can you understand it a little?
The moon floats like a fish
in the ocean of my mind!
Call me to your abode,
so that I will feel your love!
Do I need your permission to
think about you?
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Drop it. What is this?
Have you got any reply mail?
Not yet.
Alright.
Did you get any mail?
Do you even think about me?
Will I appear in your dreams?
Without sleeping at night,
Will I refuse if you come?
Once the dream ends,
and the eyes open;
will you suffer in my absense?
Everyday,
-Why are you looking at the phone so long?
-this story troubles me!
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Hey! Did you get any mail or not?
All the many questions, I ask,
can't you hear them?
All the answers you haven't said,
will they quench my thirst?
Even when you went further away,
won't my heart find you,
in just a second?
Like a breeze that sings a melody
I'm floating around!
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Honestly, the depth of love
can you understand it a little?
The moon floats like a fish
in the ocean of my mind!
Call me to your abode,
so that I will feel your love!
Do I need your permission to
think about you?
Alright, I'll leave now.
Charu!
You will definitely get a mail.
Don't feel sad.
Hmmm?
Bye
Bye!
Even after so many days,
he still hasn't replied.
I have no idea if someone like him
actually exists.
She also looks sad.
I should do something.
Why shouldn't I write a fake mail?
Let her atleast be happy.
I love you, Charu!
-This is how I should manage her.
-Surya!
What is he doing?
-Bye!
-Surya!
What Charu, what happened
to this month's fees?
I will pay it in two days, sister.
Alright, I have to go out now,
can you switch off the gas
after two whistles?
-Sure sister.
-Alright.
What is this?
I will pay it together with
the next month's due.
If you continue to have pending
amount every month, what can I do?
Huh?
Anbu brother...
Er...
Where is the money?
I will pay you in a week.
You don't pay the interest or the capital.
I can't find you when I come
looking for you, anywhere.
You are not there at home either.
-Charu, come here.
-Where is my money?
Sister, just hold this.
You didn't get work?
One happy news!
-You got mail.
-I got mail?
Come let's go, quickly.
Just a minute, I'll come.
-Read, read!
-Wait, I'll read.
Hi Charu!
I saw your mail, and I'm very surprised
to know that you also love me.
Just like you,
I also feel the same.
You are a very pretty girl.
You have very pretty eyes,
I fell for you, when I saw you
the first time.
The way you talk,
your naughtiness, your curly hair,
I like all of these.
Even I'm surprised.
You love me and I also love you.
Is that what is really written?
Not just that, I'm coming there
this Saturday.
You wait for me,
I will come and take you to Chennai
You can be very happy after that.
-Are you happy?
-Thanks.
Than... thank you!
Is he coming this Satuday?
Hey! What?
Did you just wake up?
Are you not ready yet?
-Where to?
-Did you forget?
Today is Saturday.
So what?
Kathir has said he'll come today.
It's time for his train.
Have you forgotten everything?
Oh right!
You go home.
Kathir will come home when he comes.
You go.
We should go and welcome him
as a surprise.
You go and have a bath and come.
Go, quick.
Hey! I don't know what to talk
when I see him.
Just be bold and talk.
What if he calls me?
Go with him.
But, my step-mother will scold me.
How can I just go?
Hey! He's coming here,
because we called him.
Now if you say that your mother will scold,
your father will hit?
-Shall we just go back?
-No no!
Wait! I was scared.
Not anymore.
I came here for your sake
and for the sake of your love.
I am to be blamed.
When he comes,
and calls me, I should go, right?
-Yes.
-Will you also come with me?
How can I come?
You should only go.
Is it?
-You said he's coming, but he isn't here.
-Let's wait for some more time.
Hey Charu!
Wait Charu!
-Don't run, wait!
-He cheated me.
I said wait!
Wait! Charu!
Charu!
Charu! Wait!
I told you to wait.
Charu!
Hey!
Don't worry, Charu!
You should hate him.
You should slowly forget him.
After that,
I will find a place in your heart.
Alright, cut the call.
But before that, why don't you give me
something on my cheek and cut the call?
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Naughty girl!
She seems to be a very shrewd girl!
I should teach her everything.
Hey Nephew!
When did you come?
I came when you were singing
and torturing everyone.
Did you hear that melody?
Do you know who it was?
Your to be aunty.
She doesn't seem to know anything.
She is getting shy for everything.
That is why I was giving her
training in love.
You are feeling shy even
in this age?
Shy doesn't know age!
Silly guy.
I almost forgot!
They are going to shoot a
corporate film in my factory.
They asked if someone is available
to do it,
I told them that my nephew will do it.
What?
-Without asking me?
-I thought of asking you,
but I thought you will never
say no to your uncle.
Do it for us.
I will set the mic here.
Sure.
I will fit it in this pocket.
-What is your name?
-Krishnaveni, sir.
-How long are you working here?
-For 15 years.
-Your name grandma?
-Parameshwari.
How long are you working here?
-I've been in the packing department for 20 years!
-Oh is it? Very good.
-Pushparani.
-How long are you here for?
I'm here for the past 18 years.
Oh!
Just a minute.
Hold this.
Dear Surya,
I don't know who you are.
But, I know Charu.
I didn't think that in this short time,
I would have found a place in her heart.
I will come there.
Tell Charu, not to worry.
Coming 22nd, we will meet at Lovedale.
Hi!
Why are you late?
Can you make tea for me?
Sit.
What happened?
Did you get any mail?
You are not saying anything?
If I don't ask anything,
you are not saying anything.
-Come, don't be scared. Jump.
-No dad, I'm not coming.
-It is very deep, I will stay here.
-Come in.
Dad! Dad!
What happened dad? Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Dad! What happened dad?
Daddy!
Da...!
From then he has become like this, doctor.
He is not talking properly.
I don't know what happened.
When he tries to convey his thoughts,
that accident comes to his mind.
We call this, Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder.
When he feels that those who love him
are with him always,
or when his life goes as per his wishes,
this will automatically subside.
You don't have to worry about it.
Treatment is not necessary for this.
Since he is very young, you just
need to take extra care of him.
Alright, doctor.
Hello!
Why are you silent?
I'm asking you so many times.
Tell me!
Alright no need, I'm leaving now.
Charu! Charu wait.
Why did you leave?
I need to tell you something.
What is it?
Kathir has mailed.
He couldn't come earlier,
it seems he had some problem then.
He is coming this Wednesday.
We will go.
I thought so,
that there could've been some problem.
He is not someone who will do that.
Hey! Why do you look dull?
Be happy.
When did he say, he's coming?
Wednesday!
Wednesday!
He's coming right?
You are also coming right?
Huh?
Okay! Thanks!
Bye!
You should also come for sure
on Wednesday.
Okay, bye!
I've informed the plumber, Father.
He will come tomorrow,
and get it done, Father.
Who is it standing there?
It's our Annamma Mary, Father.
-Ask them to come.
-Joseph!
-Open the gate for them.
-We've come to see Father, behave properly.
-Let's ask Father.
-Just shut up and come.
Don't talk some nonsense inside.
Just come quietly.
-Listen to what Father tells you.
-Okay, sister.
-Praise the Lord, Father!
-Praise the Lord!
I've decided to get Charu married to
my brother, Michael, Father!
If you can fix a date for us...
You don't come for prayers regularly.
You will think of church only when there is
a wedding or any function.
Father... er...
-Michael?
-Yes, Father.
-Tell me one prayer.
-Come in front.
Prayer Father!
Prayer means you need to chant.
-Tell!
-Tell man.
-Chant!
-Hey! Hail Mary, full of Grace...
Don't you know?
-Tell.
-Hail Mary...
-I forgot sister.
-Why are you shaming me like this?
Wait here.
Why?
Do you know about this tree?
If you pray to this tree,
whatever you wish will happen.
That's why everyone prays to it.
Oh!
Oh! Tree God!
This time, Kathir should come,
and take me with him.
Please!
You also pray for me.
It will be good if both of us
pray together, right?
Hmmm.
If you are truly a powerful tree,
he shouldn't come.
She is meant for me.
I will take good care of her.
I will look after her throughout
her life.
He shouldn't come.
-What did you wish for?
-Huh?
In the month of October, on 15th,
morning 11am, is the second prayer.
-Shall I note it down?
-Yes Father.
Charu, wait.
Listen to me, please wait!
Charu!
No! You don't have to tell anything.
My life is gone.
He has cheated me.
He has cheated me the second time.
Just leave me.
Wait Charu!
Hey! What happened?
Look Charu!
Wait Charu!
I'm talking to you.
Won't you stop?
Hey!
Stop Charu.
Are you going to say that, he might have
had some important work, and couldn't come?
Am I right?
Look!
May be he really had some important
work, that he couldn't come.
What work could be more important
than me?
I don't know that, but,...
Hey!
-Look there!
-What?
Look that side.
Who is that?
Look at how stylishly that
sister is smoking.
Hey! Charu?
Have you done something like this secretly?
Oh no! I'm a very good girl.
Really!
So,
what would you have done,
if Kathir had come?
I would have been very happy.
I didn't ask that.
What would you speak to him?
Let's assume that you are Kathir.
Why did you leave me and go?
Do you know how much I missed you?
Do you know where all I searched for you?
But, I guess you never even thought of me.
Okay.
Atleast now, you wanted to see me!
Save me from getting married to Micheal,
and take me away from here.
I love you!
I love you, Surya!
Sorry!
Instead of Kathir, I said,
'I love you, Surya'!
That's okay.
Sorry.
Why did you do like that?
You should've said,
'I love you, Kathir'.
You just said, 'I love you, Surya'!
What would have Surya thought?
Maybe since I'm spending a lot
of time with Surya,
I'm calling out his name a lot!
Hey Jude!
I'm asking you, but you are
still playing!
Just like how every other girl gets it,
you have also got it.
What?
Love!
Love?
-Yes!
-Then what about Kathir Karl Marx?
You already have Michael problem
to escape from.
You asked me for a solution for that.
We saw a lot of people,
but you said you liked that Kathir.
Er...
So that was not love?
That was not love, that was just a crush.
Crush? That means?
This is how people give a lot
of new labels to everything now.
Crush, bestie, lovers, etc.
But finally, they elope with someone
else and get married.
Oh no! I'm not like that.
Does that mean, you are in love with him?
Not exactly love,
it's just a feeling.
But, you said you were thinking
about him, the whole night?
That is what even I'm confused about.
Even I'm not sure why
I'm like this, Jude!
Then throw it away.
No!
Whenever I look at this button,
I'm very happy.
So, you are in love with him.
Is it?
-Am I in love with him?
-Yes!
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
They caress my heart gently,
This is a new kind of pleasure.
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
Here and there, everywhere
I am seeing your face!
When I see love,
I am living with you!
I am searching for myself;
I found myself in you!
Time doesn't move, it has frozen!
Our hearts became one!
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
They caress my heart gently,
This is a new kind of pleasure.
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
-Don't go and tell him immediately.
-Why?
You've already told him that
you love Kathir.
'Please, I'm in love with him,
so help me get together with him!'
Now, if you go and tell him this,
he will think of you as an idiot.
Why are you confusing me?
You're the one who said, it is love.
Yes, I said.
But he will think that this girl
is in love with everyone!
-Is it?
-Yes!
Alright, give me an idea
as to what I should do, Jude!
Wait! I need to think deep.
What do we do?
You first find out if you are
there in his heart!
How do I...
When both of you are alone,
try to touch his hand.
If I touch?
If you touch, it should shock him.
Is it?
Yes do it and see.
If you feel the shock, then,
both of you are in love with each other.
Take his hand, alright?
Dear Kathir,
you didn't come here last time,
after promising to come.
Charu is upset because of that.
I am in a position to explain, Charu's
current state to you.
Whatever I'm telling you now,
was told to me by this town's
postman, two days back.
The house you had stayed here,
belonged to Charu's father,
Anthony Johnson.
The family that had stayed there for
generations from British period,
Johnson who was the last heir stayed
back and didn't go to London.
He fell in love with Charu's mother,
Rosamma Mary and married her.
He went to London a few days after
Charu was born, and didn't come back.
Unable to bear the separation,
Charu's mother passed away.
The person who came to
look after Charu then.
is her step-mother, Annamma Mary.
If Charu marries someone and leaves,
she might lose all the property,
she has been trying to get Charu
married to her brother, Michael.
So, didn't Charu's father ever
think about Charu?
He has left behind his property.
He believes that Annamma Mary will
take care of it well.
Hey pass the ball to me!
Hello!
-Hello Surya!
-Sir!
-How are you?
-I'm doing good, sir.
-How are you?
-I'm fine.
How is it going for you?
I'm still in search of it, sir.
I think, I have come here
quite early, sir.
Actually, it is only towards
the end of winter,
birds will fly this side, it seems.
Okay!
If I come back after 20-25 days,
it will be the right time, sir.
Oh!
Sir, shall I come to Chennai now,
and then return?
Not required, you can get the
pictures and then come.
Okay sir, okay sir.
Thanks.
Charu, I'm going to tell
you a good news!
You will become very happy
on hearing it.
You know what it is?
I mailed Kathir last night.
Hey!
I'm telling you something,
and you are not even reacting?
Take your hand.
I'll read the mail, listen.
Dear Kathir,
you could have a thousand
reasons, for not turning up last time.
But, at the same time, you should also
try to understand, Charu's situation.
May be you did not understand
her current situation.
Hey Jude! What are you doing?
My mother is not well.
So, I'm trying to find snails.
What happened?
Did you get shocked?
All your ideas are a total waste!
I didn't get shocked or anything!
You didn't get shocked?
Then do one thing.
Don't see him for three days.
If I don't see him?
Without seeing you, he should
search for you everywhere!
He should go mad without seeing you.
Then watch how automatically,
he will get shocked.
Will it come?
Definitely it will come.
Alright, I will try.
-Thank you Jude, bye.
-Bye.
What do you want, son?
Do you have owlets?
-Omlette?
-Owlet sir.
We don't have such a
kind of bird, son.
Hey Charu!
Who asked you to come out,
so soon?
It's so boring to stay locked up
inside the house.
-That's why I came to class.
-What is this!
You could've just waited
for one more day!
Hey! He's coming, go and hide inside.
Hey! Me!
Jude!
Come here.
What brother?
Where is Charu?
Charu has gone out of town,
for two days.
She has left town?
She didn't even tell me?
Alright, tell her that I'm also going
back to my place.
Oh no! He is also leaving town?
I thought he will go crazy,
but he will end up making me crazy!
Surya! Surya!
Hey!
Jude said, you had gone
out of town?
-No I didn't go.
-Hey careful!
I've been searching for you everywhere!
Hey! I've received a mail from Kathir.
He is definitely coming tomorrow.
Be ready tomorrow morning.
We need to go to the railway station.
Why do you look dull?
-Nothing.
-Are you not well?
You are fine, right?
Be ready tomorrow. Okay?
Bye!
Foolish Charu!
-Hello mom!
-Hello!
-I called Ethiraj.
-He is sleeping, mom!
I called to talk to him about something.
Shall I ask him to call you,
once he wakes up?
Wait!
Don't get upset with me.
Can I tell you something?
Tell mom!
A girl's profile has come for you,
from Kanchipuram.
The girl's father is your
father's college friend.
So, they know you and your profession.
They said you can do whatever
you wish to do.
So, I want to fix this girl for you.
I will send you the girl's photo,
-can you see and tell your opinion?
-Mom!
What is the need to get
married now?
So,
are you still thinking
about that Charu?
Nothing like that.
In that case, can I say
yes to that girl's family?
Do as you wish, mom.
Alright, son.
Wait a minute.
Why doesn't he understand me?
I told him that I was in love with Kathir,
without any option,
but he is still hanging on to that?
I am in love with him now.
How can he not know even that?
I don't know what you will do,
but he shouldn't come. Ok?
Please!
Alright, shall we go?
Yes, we can go.
Before that, I should also pray.
-What are you going to pray?
-Hold this, I will tell.
How selfish I have been.
Instead of understanding
that girl's pain,
I prayed for me to get her.
I realise that it was my mistake.
Just like her wish,
let Kathir come here.
Let him come and take her.
Her happiness is important to me.
Let my love stay with me.
Make him come somehow, please!
Hey!
Charu! Hey!
Charu!
Where are you going?
Charu, wait.
I said wait.
Hey!
What happened?
Why did you come back?
What did you pray for?
I prayed that Kathir should come.
I don't have any hope.
I'm very happy!
Hey!
He has mailed saying he will come
for your sake.
How can we not go now?
That is his fate!
He cheated us all these days.
This time, let him feel it.
Hey!
He will definitely not come.
How are you saying that he will not come?
He won't come,
he will definitely not come.
He will not come.
Look!
He will surely come.
He wont!
Bet?
You tell.
Will you carry me piggyback?
Alright, I will.
But first you come.
He will definitely not come.
He won't come.
See?
Didn't I tell you?
See, he didn't come.
Come, let's go.
He won't come.
Come.
Come.
Come on!
Come!
Jolly!
Didn't I tell you, that he won't come?
We went through so much struggle.
-I already knew it.
-How are you not worried?
Why do I care if he comes or not?
What I said has happened.
Look! You should get married to that
drunk guy only.
Okay, I don't care!
Hey! A bet is a bet.
You promised to piggyback me.
Come.
What a fool!
Am I going to do anything,
without your knowledge?
Sir, just a minute.
What nephew!
The story is going in a new direction!
What are you saying, uncle?
What am I saying?
Weren't you mailing someone to try and
patch up Charu with him?
But, when I saw both of you
yesterday, it didn't look that way.
Why would you say that uncle?
-That girl is like a child.
-But you are not a child.
Think before you act.
If the guy comes here because of your mail,
and sees you both like this,
-how would he feel?
-What is this uncle?
Surya, I know you very well.
In this situation, all girls,
will look for someone to console them
and offer a shoulder to comfort.
But we should only be careful.
Got it? Water the plants.
Your mother has also fixed
a girl for you.
Be careful.
Buddy!
Have you been in love
with any girl?
Do you know something, buddy?
I like Charu very much, buddy.
-Is it?
-My Charu!
I loved Charu very sincerely, buddy!
Don't stare at me.
When I heard that you both were
getting married, I gave her up.
That is a promise, buddy.
Neither for you, nor for me,
she is roaming around with
some photographer guy.
Photographer?
-Yes!
-Is that him?
-Yes him!
-Get up!
I'll see to him.
Don't spare him buddy!
Go soon, buddy.
Don't spare him wherever he is.
Hey buddy stop! Stop!
Oh no! Oh no!
-Hey buddy!
-Why are you beating me?
It's not him.
You said, a photographer.
It is another guy.
Some other guy. You come.
Why did you hit me now?
That is nothing.
We are on our way to a fight.
-So I just did a test run with the stick.
-You fool!
You should try on a shirt
before buying,
will you do a trial for a fight as well?
Go! What stick is this?
What stick is this?
Oh no!
Very good stick. Carry on!
Go, get lost!
I came to get medicine
for my headache,
they have made me buy
medicine for the whole body!
Go to hell, fools!
-Look he is going there!
-Get him buddy!
Hit him!
Charu!
-What?
-Come here, I'll tell you.
-What happened?
-Come!
I don't have any pain, why would you
put such a big bandage for a small scrape?
Charu!
What are these thoughts
that run in my mind?
The words you speak in silence
are colorful!
In my heart, in my dreams,
in my reality;
I feel like spreading my wings;
My heart is getting drenched
in a new river!
What are these thoughts
that run in my mind?
The words you speak in silence
are colorful!
In the sound of pearls dropping,
hold me in your embrace!
In the sound of peals dropping,
hold me in your embrace!
To speak the unspoken word,
just be with me and don't leave!
-Charu, where are you going happily?
-To meet Surya.
Look at her, talking without even
looking at me, in her happiness!
Watch your step!
What are these thoughts
that run in my mind?
The words you speak in silence
are colorful!
So, you go so deep into
the forests,
won't a tiger come and get you?
If I think of that, I can't do it.
So, a tiger can only bite, right?
Then why do people say,
that a tiger will hit?
Is this your question?
Alright.
Now, I'm a tiger,
and you are a human.
Should I hit you or bite you now?
-Hey just be quiet.
-Tell. Should I hit you or bite you?
Hey no!
Wait!
-Hey!
-Wait!
No! Stop it.
Charu! Hey!
Why are you behaving
so childish?
I'm telling you!
What are you doing?
Huh?
Hey!
I thought of you as a nice girl!
But you are behaving so cheap!
I thought you were like a child.
But you have become a bad girl.
Don't stand in front of me.
Just get lost!
I should not have behaved
that way with Charu, yesterday.
But, I didn't have a choice.
I am not able to ask Charu
to forgive me immedaitely.
Even if I ask,
I don't know if she will be
able to understand me.
I will ask for forgiveness someday.
But before that, I wanted to tell you.
Sir!
Sir, careful!
Watch out!
What happened?
Are you fine?
Have some water.
Thanks.
Is it enough?
Sir, I'm Surya.
Wildlife photographer.
-I see!
-Working for Tamilnadu Adventures.
That...
The Nilgiri, Laughing thrush...
I've come to Ooty to
photograph that bird.
Oh that bird?
That bird is very tough.
Yes sir.
Your name, sir?
Prabakaran Balachandar.
Prabakaran!
Sorry sir, I haven't seen or heard
about you before.
How could you have heard?
I will delete all my photographs
the next day, always.
But, why would you delete them?
Do you know the demand these
birds have worldwide?
How many magazines,
how many websites?
Sir, apart from money...
Okay, apart from money?
Name, sir.
Then?
Sir!
Popularity.
My name is getting registered everywhere!
What are you getting out of it?
Isn't it happiness?
I get some happiness out of it.
I get that when I'm photographing
these birds.
Whenever I take pictures
of any bird,
I will be very happy
at that moment.
I cannot become a bird,
but, the time I spend with them,
through the camera,
interacting with them,
through the lens,
the happiness I get out of it,
I will never get it
from anything else in the world.
That's my happiness.
The Laughing thrush that
you were talking about,
will not be found in the buffering area.
You need to go to the core area.
Core area?
Theppakaadu,
Mudhumalai forest area,
you can find him, in these places.
Thank you, sir.
Then, one more thing.
Throw away all your frustration.
Look at him.
Admire him.
Look for yourself inside him.
You will get it.
-Okay?
-Okay sir, thank you.
Huh?
Sister!
You said you will stop drinking
once the wedding date is fixed!
You are still drinking everyday!
Quitting alcohol is not
a big deal at all!
I will quit it, the before
my wedding day.
-Just see how I live with Charu.
-Yeah I will.
Brother! Greetings!
Why have you come here all this way?
I wanted to come and see you too.
But you have come.
It is nothing, brother,
my wedding has been fixed.
I need some money.
You still haven't repaid me
the money you have borrowed,
and you are asking me for
more money is it?
I will pay you.
What seems to be the issue?
Pledging the documents
of this house,
he has borrowed more than
ten lakh rupees,
-and he is not repaying the loan either!
-Ten lakh rupees?
Hey! What is he saying?
That is nothing, sister!
Just a simple gambling matter.
I lost it in a game.
I will win it in the next.
-That is not a big amount at all.
-My foot!
Look madam!
I heard that he is getting married.
You better write this property
in my name.
Or else, you pay be back and get
him married or do whatever you want.
I had no idea that he has borrowed
so much money, son.
I will try to pay you the money, somehow.
Don't come home,
and create trouble.
I will surely give you the money.
I am leaving now,
for your face alone!
My money should come to me fully.
Else, heads will roll here.
Leave that brother!
Is that document worth just ten lakhs,
or can you spare two more?
Get lost!
Hey!
What have you done?
This house is going to come to me
anyway after my marriage,s
-I will handle it, sister.
-Your house?
This is Charu's father's house.
We are living in his house.
If you are taking loan and drinking like
this before marriage, what will you do after?
You would have sold it in one day
and ruined it.
You don't deserve to get married.
Don't irritate me.
Let go, sister!
Aunty!
Michael, don't you dare touch
my step-mother.
What is your problem?
This house right?
Take it and get lost!
This is what I like about you, Charu!
Look at her!
I love you Charu!
O God!
CarefuL!
Aunty, come, let's go inside.
When you were a child,
you couldn't study well.
You were very innocent.
I thought you were very gullible
and I was strict with you.
Aunty!
You took care of me, well!
I thought if I get you married to
Michael, he will also change,
and you will also stay with me.
But, I've just realized that
it is not possible to change that drunk.
The way step-mother is speaking,
I think she might not
get me married to Michael.
I should first tell this to Surya!
Hi Charu!
My mom means the world to me!
When she suddenly got paralysed,
I went on a long leave to Chennai!
I was here for just a short duration.
But, you were all so good to me,
and took care of me well.
But in just those few days,
Charu will fall in love with me,
was something I didn't expect.
Based on the mail that Surya sent,
I came to know that Charu
was in love with me.
But, at that time,
since my mother had an operation,
I was not able to come.
But only in the second mail
that Surya sent,
I got to know the situation here.
My mom also read that mail.
My mother liked Charu a lot.
Charu...
if she comes home with us,
more than her taking care of
my mom and me,
to tell you that we will take
care of Charu,
is my wish!
If all of you agree to it,
I am willing to marry Charu.
Ask Charu to come.
Charu!
Come here.
We are not sure about your decision,
but I feel Charu as my girl.
One minute!
Alright?
I don't know what your step-mother
might say,
but if you come, we will be happy.
My brother and Charu were supposed to
get married in church, this Sunday.
We didn't know that Charu was
in love with Kathir.
Now, looking at Kathir, I feel that
he is the perfect match for Charu!
So, if you all agree to it, we can
have the wedding on the same date.
As long as Charu becomes my
daughter in law, I'm happy.
Hello!
-Yes sir!
-What are you doing Surya?
Sir! What happened?
What do you mean what happened?
How long has it been since you went there?
-What are you doing there?
-Sir!
-Sir, I am trying my best.
-How long are you going to keep trying?
I sent you there by placing
trust in your talent.
Sir...
-thank you for all that, but...
-Sorry Surya,
the management is putting pressure on me,
to relieve you from this project.
Sir!
Sir!
Please sir, give me just one more week,
I will definitely capture and send it.
I will definitely honor the trust
that you have placed on me.
Sir please.
Alright, but your time is one more week.
I can't manage anymore.
You need to send the pictures
and videos by then.
I will sir.
Thank you.
Where is he going wearing his
camouflage clothes?
Nephew!
Nephew!
You look like you are going to war!
Are you going to shoot?
Huh?
You know what, the work that you
came here to do, is done.
-What?
-I mean,
you sent mail after mail to ask
that boy to come, for Charu.
That boy and girl are getting married.
Very happy to hear it.
So where are you off to?
Nephew, which area are you going to?
-Mudhumalai.
-Mudhumalai?
-So far...
-Alright I'm leaving.
It will take four days for me
to return.
Alright, have you decided?
Torch, phone, powerbank,
all these are important in a forest.
Call me if you need any help.
-Alright, uncle.
-Hey wait!
On my way here, Charu asked me to
give this bag to you.
May be she gave this gift to you,
for getting them both together.
Huh?
Get me one honey bottle
from Mudhumalai.
It seems it is very good for that matter.
Surya, don't forget the phone and honey.
Father, we have fixed another
boy for Charu!
-Can we have this wedding on the same day
we had fixed Charu's and Michael's wedding?
Yes we can.
Finally, Charu has escaped from Michael.
What will I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
What do I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
What does fate have in store for me?
What kind of a life is this?
What will I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
As long as you were with me,
I didn't realize your value!
When I wanted your company,
you were not with me!
As long as you were with me,
I didn't realize your value!
When I wanted your company,
you were not with me!
Fate is ruling over our lives,
No one can interfere or say anything!
Do I just accept it, or change myself?
Do I just accept it, or change myself?
What will I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
I had gone home to meet Surya,
he was not there.
That's why I came to the factory,
to meet you.
Can you tell me his whereabouts...
Who are you? Your name?
I'm Kathir.
Kathir!
Madras, mail, Charu!
-Welcome! How are you?
-I'm doing good.
He has gone inside the forests.
With every step forward,
I keep going backwards!
The world laughs at me,
as I hurt myself
Whatever happens is not
in our hands!
I will only get older as I wait longer!
Do I wait with expectation?
Do I wait with expectation?
Charu dear!
You look like an angel in this.
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
-Welcome. Praise the Lord!
-Welcome!
Welcome!
Dear Kathiravan Karl Marx,
and Charal Anthony Johnson!
have presented yourselves before the
Church of God to enter into holy matrimony.
To know your intentions,
I question you before the
Church of God!
Have both of you on your own accord,
come here to marry each other,
without anyone's persuasion?
Yes, we have.
Both of you agree to follow
the marital code,
for the rest of your lives,
are ready to love and respect
each other?
Yes we are ready.
Since both of you are in agreement,
both of you hold your right hands.
In front of God,
in the Holy Church,
express your consent.
I, Kathiravan Karl Marx,
take you Charal Anthony Johnson,
as my wife.
Stop here!
Thanks boss. Thank you!
What Ali! You were called for the
wedding, and you've come on time to eat!
Get lost! I know! Idiot!
Move move!
Hey Ghulam!
Where are you going in a hurry?
How many times should I call you?
-Your number is not reachable!
-There is no signal.
What 'no signal'! Here.
-Watch this!
-What happened?
See!
Did you see?
Hey!
Oh no!
Hey!
-Charal
-Charu! Charu!
-Anthony Johnson!
Charu! Look at this!
-What happened?
-Kathir!
Charu what happened?
Kathir?
What happened?
I don't know mom, let's see!
Tell me what!
Charu! Charu!
Charu, wait!
Hey! What is this?
Charu! Charu dear!
-What happened?
-Dear Charu!
-What is it?
-Hey!
-I don't know why she is even crying.
-Charu what happened?
Charu!
Son, see what it is!
Due to unexpected forest fire
that spread in Mudhumalai forests,
four college students from Chennai who went
trekking, died in the fire.
Moreover, more than ten people
have been severely injured.
Wildlife photographer Surya, who
went to rescue those caught in the fire,
also got caught in the fire,
got severly injured,
-and has been admitted to the hospital...
-What is this?
I'm not sure either!
It seems four students have died too!
Oh no!
-Why is she crying like this for him?
-Ask her!
Charu! Alright!
He will be fine! You shouldn't
cry like this on your wedding day!
Why are you crying like this?
Because, she is in love with Surya!
Huh?
What is this new story you are saying?
When you tried to get her married
to Michael,
in order to escape from that,
I was the one who gave her the idea
to love and get married to Kathir.
But, only when she was with Surya,
she was very happy.
She started falling in love with Surya!
But, Surya, took what Charu said
long back to heart,
and mailed Kathir and asked him to come.
She agreed to this wedding
for the sake of all of you.
Dear!
Did you also love Surya?
You could have just told him that.
I don't understand anything, son.
I don't know what is happening here.
I have understood everything.
Sir, we are waiting outside for so long.
Why are you not letting us inside!
-Rajendran!
-Wait! He will come!
Wait! I will talk.
Tell us sir, what is the problem?
If you just keep walking,
what should we understand?
All of you calm down for a bit!
Calm down and listen to me!
Nothing is going to happen
if you all are getting anxious!
The doctor is treating the patients.
When the doctor calls each one of you,
-I will send you one by one.
-Move aside!
-I told you all to be calm.
-Move aside.
-Wait! Wait!
-Sir! Surya from the fire accident...
I am his uncle, sir!
Alright, stay calm.
-Sir, I just want to see him once.
-Stay calm, doctors are treating him.
SP sir, has instructed us not to
let anyone inside!
-Sir, stay calm!
-Son, you tell him!
Be calm for sometime.
-Where are you taking us?
-All of you disperse, don't crowd around!
Be brave! Nothing will happen.
Don't worry!
-Come come!
-Son!
How is Surya, from the fire accident?
All the bodies are being sent
for post-mortem.
-What are you saying?
-It will take time, wait for sometime.
What is he saying? It is scary!
What is happening inside?
Ethiraj!
Ethiraj!
What is it?
Is it you? Come here.
-Hey go!
-Yes, coming.
Come!
Sister!
When did you come?
How is Surya? What are they saying?
He is still in the ICU!
-Doctor hasn't said anything yet!
-Oh no!
I'm scared!
Nothing will happen to him.
Don't worry sister!
Come, dear!
This is Charu!
I know.
Who is Charu here?
The patient is calling Charu, Charu
so many times!
The doctor is calling her.
You go.
Come!
Come.
Who are all these people?
Sir, the patient who was saying
Charu Charu...
-they are his family!
-Oh! Alright.
Why are there so many of you?
Only one person has to
go in with them!
-The others wait.
-Okay sir!
-Only one of you come with me.
-Sir, he's my nephew!
I will also go and see.
Charu!
You alone go.
Nothing will happen to your Surya!
Surya!
Charu!
Surya!
Happy married life!
Happy married life Charu!
No Surya!
No!
I love you!
I love you!
I'm there for you, Surya!
I love you, Surya!
I love you, Surya!
I love you too!
Charu!
I love you!
Don't cry, Charu.
What happened?
What are you thinking about?
-Nothing.
-Nothing, right?
Don't think about anything.
I'm here.
I'm here for you.
The last photo that Surya clicked,
is this Laughing Thrush.
After that accident, Surya,
couldn't handle a camera.
All these photos that you are looking
at now, are in the name of Surya,
taken by Charu!
True love does not expect
a pretty face or a body.
Perceiving the dreams of those we love,
as our own,
and helping them fulfil it,
is the meaning of true love.
to love him back,
was attached by acid.
Police who have arrested the guy behind
the attack, are investigating the case.
The 'Birds award', an award that is
exclusively for wildlife bird photographs,
The award function that is scheduled
to be held on December 17th,
will have the President of India,
as the Chief Guest.
Environmentalists and Photographers,
from all over the world...
Few years back...
Brother, can you stop near that left?
-Yes sure.
-There.
-Thanks, brother.
-Sure.
What kind of a child is he?
Who knows where he has gone,
in this cold?
In how many places will I look for him?
He should come home at some point.
-Let him come.
-Uncle!
-I'm here.
-Hey!
Where did you go?
Where are you roaming around happily,
instead of coming to pick me?
Are you fooling me?
Your mother called at 4 in the morning,
and told me that you were coming.
I went to the bus-stand even
in this cold weather.
You were missing.
Even when I know this place well,
I've been looking for you,
in all streets and lanes,
and you are saying,
that I didn't come to pick you?
Can't we get signal here?
Your phone is not reachable,
and my phone has no signal.
Even your phone is unreachable?
How will you get it?
You can't get it there.
So, where did his highness go?
Don't you know where I
would've gone uncle?
I went inside the forest to take pictures.
In an unknown place?
What if something happens?
Your mother is calling.
-Talk to her.
-Hello!
Tell me sister!
How are you? Did you eat?
What do you mean by
'How are you?'
I'm already tensed that my son is missing,
and you are asking me if I ate?
Wait! I went looking for your son
and haven't eaten yet.
Your son has come, and he is here.
I finally feel some relief.
Are you relieved?
You said you were going to look
for a girl, what happened?
He said he didn't want any girl.
Oh no!
Not for him, I meant for me.
What! For you?
You seem to be shocked?
The girl's family said they didn't
want you, since you are very old.
-Look!
-Uncle!
You cut the call?
I'm old it seems!
Is 42 years old?
Huh?
Fine, 44 years!
-What!
-Hey!
I swear I'm 44 years old,
shall I show you my Aadhar card for proof?
-Yeah I believe you, open the door first.
-You should believe me.
Your camera comes out as soon as
you see trees or waterfalls!
Come here, drink this coffee.
Uncle, you said you were a manager here.
-Yes.
-But you are living like the owner here.
Why are you talking so loud?
The owner felt sad for me and has asked
me to stay here and take care of repairs.
Why would you spoil it by shouting?
Oh no!
First tell me how long you
plan to stay here,
which are the forests you want to go,
what is the project, tell me everything
How do I explain?
Do you know National Geographic Channel?
Similarly, there is a channel called,
TamilNadu Adventure.
I have joined there.
A bird called 'Laughing Thrush'.
Apparently it comes here in this season.
So, until I can take a picture of it,
I will be here.
Why should that bird come in this season,
and ruin my life?
I mean, how did you get this assignment?
Do they give it,
or do you ask them for this work,
because you love these forests?
-Huh?
-Leave that aside.
Do you know someone who has
in-depth knowledge of these forests?
In-depth knowledge?
There is someone called Ghulam Ali.
He knows these forests well.
But, he is an eccentric guy.
He is also an egoistic guy.
-I will handle him, just point me to him.
-Alright.
Hey Charu!
Come quickly.
Here he comes!
No matter how much I try, it doesn't seem
to be possible to rectify him.
Michael?
Why are you late?
I had to unload the goods, that's why.
Did it take time to unload or,
were you roaming around?
Why would I roam around a place
I know well?
Sit down to eat.
See, my brother has come.
Go and get something to eat.
Should I tell you that as well?
Where is Charu?
You come in drunk,
she will come and stand in
front of you everyday.
You and your face.
What is this?
Look, stop drinking from tomorrow,
get a hair cut,
and dress well.
Do you understand?
Did Charu agree to it?
What is there for her to agree to?
I can't take care of her anymore.
Before this Christmas,
I'm going to ask Father to fix a
wedding date for you two.
Sister!
You are not my sister,
you are my God!
All that is fine,
look,
just get rid of that nonsense!
-I can't sit near you.
-You just get me married...
Start saving money.
You need money to get married.
Charu!
You are here?
Bye!
Uncle!
I just heard that Michael and I
are to be married,
why are you silent about it?
Don't you know that I
don't like Michael?
What can I do?
She has already decided.
Jude!
Hey Jude!
Hey Jude!
Charu has come.
-What?
-Come.
-Don't ring the bell.
-You first come.
The baby is sleeping.
-Alright, just come.
-I'll come, you wait near the bridge.
Come quickly.
Hey!
What are you thinking of
for so long?
Tell me quickly.
Why don't you just elope with someone?
Elope?
You know Murugan from the
super-market,
his sister-in-law Kumudha
did just that.
Is it?
Murugan tried to marry his
sister-in-law Kumudha as well.
But, do you know what Kumudha did?
What did she do?
She eloped with the guy who
packs things in Murugan's shop.
That's good.
You also do something like that.
That is the only answer to your problem.
Er...
But...
-I don't know any packer guy!
-You idiot!
Fall in love with some guy.
Only if you love someone,
you can elope with him.
Hmmm?
-Love?
-Yes!
Has anyone told you that you
look very pretty?
Hi darling, Charu!
I'm here, egg uncle!
Charu!
Charu dear,
You are so beautiful!
-Shall I go?
-You are telling these people?
Where do you stand,
and where do these people stand?
The engineer guy who is living
in your house,
why not think about him?
He is educated and also looks decent.
Didn't you go to work today?
I had some work in Kunoor,
so I went and I'm just coming back.
Oh! Didn't you take your bike?
The thing I like most around here
is to travel by train.
So wherever I go, I go by train.
Will you also take me by train once?
-Huh?
-Sure.
He is the right guy for you.
Somehow fall in love with him,
you just run away from this place,
now let me go.
Hey wait! Wait! Jude!
Birds are different,
and each one is unique!
Greetings, sir!
Who are you?
Huh?
Sir!
I've come to see you.
About what?
-The bird called 'Nilgiri Laughing Thrush',
-So?
I need to photograph it
for a project in my channel.
I was told that you will know about it.
So...
You will take pictures of that bird
and get a name for yourself,
will I just sit here and lick myself?
Over the last 15 years,
for that one bird,
I'm waiting here with this
expensive camera.
You are here to ask my idea, take pictures,
and get world famous.
What big camera do you have?
Show me.
Show me, man!
This looks like a bag those
parrot astrologers carry.
Huh?
What are all these things
he is taking out of his bag?
Sir!
It broke!
You broke it.
I broke it?
Yes.
Sorry.
Do you know how much it costs?
It would be around Rs. 200, online.
But it would cost Rs. 2000 at the store.
2000? This camera costs 2 lakh rupees!
Is this a camera?
Why is it so small?
Here, keep this big camera instead.
Are you making fun of me?
You don't even have an idea about the type
of cameras that wildlife photographers use,
and you call yourself a bird watcher?
Alright.
What now?
Pay me Rs. 2 lakhs for breaking my
camera and I'll leave.
Son, I'm just learning to
become a bird watcher.
How can you ask two lakh rupees,
without a conscience?
You say you photograph birds
and study them.
But you didn't study me, son!
You also didn't learn about me.
When I asked you about the bird,
you spoke too much unnecessarily.
What do you want now?
You want to know about that
Nilgiri bird.
Is that it?
On the way to Mysore,
at a distance of about 8 kilometers,
there is a wooden bridge
near Hungerford.
The bird comes there.
Go and take your pictures.
-I'll see you.
-Best of luck!
Why are you sulking?
I'm asking you.
Won't you talk to me?
Tell, what happened?
The idea you gave was useless.
Kathiravan sir!
-Kathiravan sir!
-He is not here.
He vacated the house last evening,
and left to Chennai.
-When will he come back?
-No idea.
No idea?
Ah!
What Charu!
Is this the end card for your story?
Don't tease me.
I'm scared.
-Save me from that drunk Michael, please.
-Is it?
Aah! There is a way!
Go and tell your story to that bird,
it will definitely help you.
-Help me?
-Yes, it will definitely help you.
Not just that, it goes back and forth
to Madras and Ooty everyday.
What are you saying?
-It goes everyday and comes everyday?
-Yes!
Go and tell, your problem will
get solved in just two days!
It will unite both of you.
-Hey Jude!
-I need to get milk for the baby, bye.
She seems to be coming in between
now and then and disturbing.
Who is she?
You are not the 'Laughing Thrush'!
But, you are also pretty!
Hmmm!
Hey!
Move aside.
Hey you!
Hey!
It's going to fly away!
Hey!
I wanted to take you home,
but my step-mother will
sell you off.
You also seem to be sick.
It is sad to look at you.
I don't even know what you like.
I just have this fruit and this biscuit
with me,
do you like this fruit,
or this biscuit?
What! 'Fruit or biscuits'?
I don't even know what you like.
Eat something.
Look at that!
Do you like fruits,
or biscuits?
Tell!
Tell!
Hey!
You!
Hello!
Hey wait!
Hey Charu!
-When will you accept my love?
-Let me go!
-Let me go John!
-You are cheating me Charu!
-I have to go home, my step-mother will shout.
-Understand me Charu!
-Hey! Hey!
-Charu! Charu!
-What happened?
-Who are you?
You want to know who I am?
It doesn't matter, who I am,
why are you disturbing her?
She is my darling... hey!
Hey! Let go off her cycle.
How many times do I ask.
You come.
You come.
-Charu he is acting very smart!
-You will see.
-Let's see what you can do.
-How dare you lay hands on me!
Charu!
Listen! Wait.
Who is he? What is his problem?
He is mechanic John.
He belongs to our church.
He is always creating problems
with me.
Thankfully you came.
Oh!
I am Charal Anthony Johnson.
Everyone calls me Charu.
When you saw me at the wooden bridge,
and started laughing at me,
I mistook you, out of fear.
-Sorry.
-It's ok, not a problem.
What about you?
I'm Surya, wildlife photographer.
What does that mean?
That means, my job is to photograph
animals and birds in the wild.
-Oh!
-You were talking to a bird back there,
similarly there is a bird called
'Laughing Thrush'.
I've come to take photos of it.
Oh!
So, you also like birds?
I love birds.
We have a lot of colorful
birds in our house.
But, my step-mother will sell everything.
-Oh!
-I don't like that.
I had a very cute bird called Chella!
But, my step-mother sold that as well.
It used to call me by my name, you know!
Does that mean, you know about
all types of birds?
How can someone who was born and brought
up in these mountains, not know about birds?
I know them very well.
Oh! Hmmm.
Where are you staying here
I'm staying with my uncle, Mr. Ethiraj.
Do you know VN tea factory?
He works there.
Oh Ethiraj brother!
I know him.
-You know him?
-Where have you come from?
Chennai!
-Chennai?
-Hmmm
-Really?
-Yes!
Does that mean you know
everyone in Chennai?
Charu!
What are you doing here?
Your step-mother is searching
for you there!
Oh no! I have to go home now.
Else, my step-mother
will break my bones.
I'll leave now, bye.
Hello!
When can we meet again?
Come to the bird shop.
Where is it?
Mylanji bird park, everyone knows!
Oh!
-Bye!
-Bye!
Who is he? He looks new!
Er... he is a photographer it seems.
He has come from Chennai.
I'm thinking of asking him
to help me.
How will you ask him for help,
without knowing anything about him?
After you move with him a few days,
if he seems like a good guy, ask him.
Alright.
He looks different!
-Do you like fruits,
-or do you like biscuits?
Huh?
Fruits or biscuits?
Tell me! Fruits, or do you like biscuits?
I like liquor very much.
Why are you talking to yourself?
That... er... it's nothing uncle.
Since, the weather is not right,
this is how you will talk.
Come and just sleep.
He's Madras!
If only he can help me,
all my problems will be solved.
This pet shop, Michael, step-mother,
I won't have any of these!
I'll be free and happy.
This looks good.
Madam, how much are these love birds?
-They are Rs. 300.
-Oh!
Check out that parrot,
it looks good.
Hey buddy! That bird looks
much better than these!
-Yeah!
-Hey!
-What do you want?
-Why, madam?
-We came to buy love birds.
-Those are not for sale, leave!
Come man. We came to buy a parrot,
but the owl has come
-Why did you chase those customers?
-Can't you figure out from those faces?
Here, go and buy everything
from this list.
-Sure.
-Check the fruits before buying.
Sure, step-mother.
Hey! Hi!
Hi!
You said everyone knows your shop name,
but, no one seems to know!
Did you ask for my name?
-No!
-That's the problem.
If you had asked for my name,
they would've known.
-Where are you going?
-I'm off to the market, coming?
-Sure, let's go.
-Come.
-Do you always go everywhere in your cycle?
-Yes!
Here you go!
Brother, my step-mother has given
this list, put everything in this.
Alright.
Listen!
Here, eat!
Brother, pack this apple as well.
Sure.
I need you to do me a favour.
What favour?
I had asked you about the
'Laughing Thrush' bird.
What bird?
Laughing Thrush, I asked
you even yesterday!
Oh that! That is my friend as well.
Brother how much?
It is Rs. 450!
Here you go.
Thanks brother!
Come, let's go.
Do you remember, where you
last saw the bird?
-That... er...
-Can you take me there?
I have seen a lot of birds,
and have spoken to them,
but I don't remember where I've seen it.
Shall I think and tell?
Please think.
Hey corn!
-Shall we eat?
-Hmmm!
Can you think about that bird,
once you reach home?
I will surely think about it.
Thank you!
-This is the favourite spot for Jude and I!
-Is it?
-It is very good!
-Thanks!
Hey! What are you doing?
We've become friends now, right?
So I will pay for this.
This is my treat!
I have to leave now,
-alright?
-Sure.
-Come to the Hara forest tomorrow!
-That forest?
-I will come.
-Bye!
Alright, bye!
He has said he will come for me.
Anyone else should get an appointment,
wait and only see him.
Now do you understand Charu's power?
Yes I understand. Thanks.
He's here.
-Speak responsibly.
-Okay.
Hi Charu!
You called me for something urgent?
Uncle, this is my friend I told you
over the phone.
This is Surya.
-Oh him?
-What did you say the bird's name was?
The name of the bird?
-Tell.
-Hey! I've already met him.
He doesn't know anything.
Hello!
I don't know who you are,
then why will I tell you
everything if you ask?
How can you tell that I don't
know anything?
Tell me if you know.
I will not tell you,
even if I know.
I can tell you for Charu's sake.
Listen to me carefully.
If you go straight in Mysore route,
from here,
there is a place called Glenmorgan.
If you take a right from Glenmorgan,
you will come to a place called Panthalur.
If you go straight from Panthalur,
there will be a big forest to your right.
Again take right and go inside,
you will reach a huge waterfall.
If you just need to listen to the sound
of the water and go,
you will come to a huge gorge.
Get into the gorge and go,
you will come to a huge rock.
If you take a look from the rock,
is Vedanthangal.
If you take your camera there,
-all the birds come and bathe, sing,...
-Uncle, enough!
I don't understand anything uncle.
Did you understand?
Uncle!
It will be good, if you take us there.
Charu, I'm very busy.
I don't have time.
Uncle, please.
Since you asked, I will do it.
I will take you.
Thank you uncle.
Go and get your camera.
Son, I have a new camera.
Do you need it?
No need.
I will get my camera.
Its quite advanced. It seems he doesn't
know to use it.
This 'Laughing Thrush' is
like lightning.
Only I will be able to see it.
It was banned in India.
From Pakistan border,
it will fly and come.
Have you also seen?
What do you mean if I've seen?
It sits on my shoulder and
sings while laughing.
So called 'Laughing Thrush'.
In the early days, it used to eat
whatever I fed it.
Now, after flying all over the world,
it has eaten burger and pizzas,
and has spoiled it's health.
-Is it uncle?
-Don't make noise.
-Why uncle?
-Because,
the mountain snake has laid eggs.
-Look at him building lies.
-How do you know that uncle?
I will find it out with its smell.
Is it?
You are a genius uncle.
You are saying what everyone
else is saying.
Won't it hear if we are loud?
Listen, it cannot hear.
It will be able to feel us walk
with our vibrations.
Do you understand?
Oh!
Come here, son.
Come quickly.
Tell me, sir.
In this place,
keep this tree as your centre.
It will come in sometime.
Keep your camera ready,
and take as many pictures you want.
-We can leave soon. What do you say?
-No,
it will not come here.
-We need to go in-depth,
-What death?
No, I meant, we need to go deeper.
Let's go further.
There are tribals living further deep.
There is no guaranee for our lives.
You better know it.
Just be quiet.
The other day, I was also very curious,
and went further inside.
Only after I went, I realised,
that a bear was looking at me.
I looked at the bear,
the bear looked at me.
I got very angry.
I held it by its tail and spun it around.
It fell in Namakkal Anjaneyar temple.
We don't have to worry about it anymore.
Got it?
But in that fight,
you know what happened to me?
The bear spit on me and I lost my hair.
That is why I'm telling,
we shouldn't go there.
Take your photo, from here...
Photo?
Photo!
Charu!
Charu?
Charu!
Charu!
Where did they go?
I never come to this area at all.
They asked me to show this and that,
and left me in the middle of the forest.
Charu!
What!
It sounds like a bear!
Charu!
Charu?
Charu!
Where did they go?
Charu?
Hey photographer?
I don't know anything!
I haven't seen anything other
than crows and sparrows.
Where are you, I can hear bears now.
Hey!
Why did you leave me alone?
Charu!
Hey! Look at that!
Take a photo of that.
-Take a photo of that.
-Did we come to take a picture of that?
-Click, it will be good.
-What is this...
You are...
Take!
Click!
What happened?
Why are you trembling?
Shall I hold it?
I'll hold it.
I'm here.
I'll hold it for you.
-I'm fine.
-Click.
Did you click? Show!
It looks good, doesn't it?
It is cute.
Shall we go?
You are taking pictures of everything,
take a picture of me too.
-You are right.
-Yes!
-Take a picture of me.
-I didn't take a picture of you!
-You should take good pictures.
-Yeah right.
The jungle koel is singing
in an all new tune!
-Are they good?
-Listening to it,
-Show me.
-my mind goes...
-wow wow wow!
-Looks good, doesn't it?
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
My heart is on fire,
while my youth is enjoying it.!
The jungle koel is singing
in an all new tune!
Listening to it, my mind goes,
wow, wow, wow!
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
Everyday a different tune,
rings in the air!
My heart is on fire,
while my youth is enjoying it
My heart is on fire,
while my youth is enjoying it
The jungle koel is singing
in an all new tune!
To admire all the beauty around us,
a pair of eyes is not enough!
While I'm here admiring you,
you are searching for something else!
Love plays a game with all the
young and innocent minds!
It imprisons them without any shackles,
or without the knowledge of the prisoners!
The jungle koel teaches us the
freedom in music!
Even when the music is within bounds,
it will never stay within!
It is plesant to think about!
The mind is flying somewhere!
This is time's kind gift to us!
-Hello mom!
-Yes son!
Nothing mom, I just called.
You have called me early morning.
Are you going to tell me something good?
Er...
There is a girl...
she is my good friend.
Hmmm
She is innocent like you.
She looks pretty just like you.
Tell me son!
I like her very much, mom!
I feel you will also like her.
You never used to go near girls.
Is it you who likes this girl?
-What is that girl's name?
-Charu mom!
Charu.
Charu?
Very pretty name.
Alright, will you introduce her
to me, one day?
Yes, sure.
I will introduce her to you,
when you come here.
Alright.
Mom, I'm getting a call.
I'll call you once I'm done with it.
Alright.
Okay mom, bye!
-Hello?
-Hello, Surya!
Tell me Charu.
-I need to tell you something important.
Can you come near the wooden bridge?
Yes, I will come.
-Come soon.
-Sure I'll be there.
How do I tell her?
I am in love with you...
I like you...
All these sound old.
I should just tell her, 'I love you'.
That is better.
Hi!
Hi!
Thanks a lot.
To have come, as soon as I called.
I wanted to tell you something important.
I also have something
important to tell you.
Okay, tell.
-No you tell first.
-No no, you go first.
That...
Can you turn that side?
Can you also close your eyes, please.
Yesterday, I ,
P... Pa...
You said you wanted to say something?
Tell me.
I'm asking you so many times,
why are you silent?
What happened to you?
Tell me.
It's nothing.
You go ahead.
I'm going to tell you,
an important incident that
took place in my life.
Hmmm
I'm in love with...
someone.
His name?
His name is Kathir.
He was an Assistant Engineer
in the EB office.
I tried to tell him, how I felt about him.
But he left to Chennai suddenly.
If not for him,
my whole life will go to waste.
Will you help me get together with him?
Hmmm
How can I?
You said you were also from Chennai.
Oh!
Is he also from Chennai?
Yes, will you help me get together
with him?
Er...
Alright, can you come here,
at the same time tomorrow?
Sure?
-Mom?
-Surya!
What are you doing?
-Have you eaten?
-Not yet.
What happened?
Why do you sound dull?
No, I'm fine.
No, there is something.
Is there any problem?
Mom, I told you about Charu
this morning, right?
It seems she is in love with
someone else, mom!
-What are you saying?
-She needs my help to get together with him
What are you going to do now?
What can I do?
I like her.
But she likes him.
Let her be the girl, I like.
You don't worry about anything.
Nothing of that sort.
I'll call you in the morning.
-Bye.
-Alright.
Hi!
How come you are here?
Where all did I look for you?
Why didn't you come to the
wooden bridge?
Er...
I had some work.
Oh!
You said you will help me.
Hmmm.
What did you say his name was?
Kathir, Kathir.
Do you know his address,
phone number or any detail?
No!
Where did you say he is working?
In EB department.
Oh!
-Yes, the connection has been given.
-Sir!
-Sir!
-One minute, I'll call you back.
Sir, Kathir who was an assistant
engineer here...
It's been two months since he left.
Hmmm.
He was staying in her house.
We need to contact her immediately.
Can we get his phone number?
No, we are not allowed to give
out personal details.
What is his full name?
Kathir Karl Marx.
Kathir
Karl Marx!
Looks like there are many guys,
with the same name.
He has a tattoo in his hand.
It is not possible to find with that.
Just wait.
Is it him?
Him?
-Him?
-Hey! Yes it is him.
This blue shirt?
He does look good.
I got his mail ID.
What can we write?
Tell me whatever you thought.
Beautiful,
poetic,
like poems.
Er...
I was in,
love with you.
Do you know that?
I was in,
love with you.
Do you know that?
This is good.
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Honestly, the depth of love
can you understand it a little?
The moon floats like a fish
in the ocean of my mind!
Call me to your abode,
so that I will feel your love!
Do I need your permission to
think about you?
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Drop it. What is this?
Have you got any reply mail?
Not yet.
Alright.
Did you get any mail?
Do you even think about me?
Will I appear in your dreams?
Without sleeping at night,
Will I refuse if you come?
Once the dream ends,
and the eyes open;
will you suffer in my absense?
Everyday,
-Why are you looking at the phone so long?
-this story troubles me!
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Hey! Did you get any mail or not?
All the many questions, I ask,
can't you hear them?
All the answers you haven't said,
will they quench my thirst?
Even when you went further away,
won't my heart find you,
in just a second?
Like a breeze that sings a melody
I'm floating around!
I was in...
love with you!
Do you know that?
Honestly, the depth of love
can you understand it a little?
The moon floats like a fish
in the ocean of my mind!
Call me to your abode,
so that I will feel your love!
Do I need your permission to
think about you?
Alright, I'll leave now.
Charu!
You will definitely get a mail.
Don't feel sad.
Hmmm?
Bye
Bye!
Even after so many days,
he still hasn't replied.
I have no idea if someone like him
actually exists.
She also looks sad.
I should do something.
Why shouldn't I write a fake mail?
Let her atleast be happy.
I love you, Charu!
-This is how I should manage her.
-Surya!
What is he doing?
-Bye!
-Surya!
What Charu, what happened
to this month's fees?
I will pay it in two days, sister.
Alright, I have to go out now,
can you switch off the gas
after two whistles?
-Sure sister.
-Alright.
What is this?
I will pay it together with
the next month's due.
If you continue to have pending
amount every month, what can I do?
Huh?
Anbu brother...
Er...
Where is the money?
I will pay you in a week.
You don't pay the interest or the capital.
I can't find you when I come
looking for you, anywhere.
You are not there at home either.
-Charu, come here.
-Where is my money?
Sister, just hold this.
You didn't get work?
One happy news!
-You got mail.
-I got mail?
Come let's go, quickly.
Just a minute, I'll come.
-Read, read!
-Wait, I'll read.
Hi Charu!
I saw your mail, and I'm very surprised
to know that you also love me.
Just like you,
I also feel the same.
You are a very pretty girl.
You have very pretty eyes,
I fell for you, when I saw you
the first time.
The way you talk,
your naughtiness, your curly hair,
I like all of these.
Even I'm surprised.
You love me and I also love you.
Is that what is really written?
Not just that, I'm coming there
this Saturday.
You wait for me,
I will come and take you to Chennai
You can be very happy after that.
-Are you happy?
-Thanks.
Than... thank you!
Is he coming this Satuday?
Hey! What?
Did you just wake up?
Are you not ready yet?
-Where to?
-Did you forget?
Today is Saturday.
So what?
Kathir has said he'll come today.
It's time for his train.
Have you forgotten everything?
Oh right!
You go home.
Kathir will come home when he comes.
You go.
We should go and welcome him
as a surprise.
You go and have a bath and come.
Go, quick.
Hey! I don't know what to talk
when I see him.
Just be bold and talk.
What if he calls me?
Go with him.
But, my step-mother will scold me.
How can I just go?
Hey! He's coming here,
because we called him.
Now if you say that your mother will scold,
your father will hit?
-Shall we just go back?
-No no!
Wait! I was scared.
Not anymore.
I came here for your sake
and for the sake of your love.
I am to be blamed.
When he comes,
and calls me, I should go, right?
-Yes.
-Will you also come with me?
How can I come?
You should only go.
Is it?
-You said he's coming, but he isn't here.
-Let's wait for some more time.
Hey Charu!
Wait Charu!
-Don't run, wait!
-He cheated me.
I said wait!
Wait! Charu!
Charu!
Charu! Wait!
I told you to wait.
Charu!
Hey!
Don't worry, Charu!
You should hate him.
You should slowly forget him.
After that,
I will find a place in your heart.
Alright, cut the call.
But before that, why don't you give me
something on my cheek and cut the call?
Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Naughty girl!
She seems to be a very shrewd girl!
I should teach her everything.
Hey Nephew!
When did you come?
I came when you were singing
and torturing everyone.
Did you hear that melody?
Do you know who it was?
Your to be aunty.
She doesn't seem to know anything.
She is getting shy for everything.
That is why I was giving her
training in love.
You are feeling shy even
in this age?
Shy doesn't know age!
Silly guy.
I almost forgot!
They are going to shoot a
corporate film in my factory.
They asked if someone is available
to do it,
I told them that my nephew will do it.
What?
-Without asking me?
-I thought of asking you,
but I thought you will never
say no to your uncle.
Do it for us.
I will set the mic here.
Sure.
I will fit it in this pocket.
-What is your name?
-Krishnaveni, sir.
-How long are you working here?
-For 15 years.
-Your name grandma?
-Parameshwari.
How long are you working here?
-I've been in the packing department for 20 years!
-Oh is it? Very good.
-Pushparani.
-How long are you here for?
I'm here for the past 18 years.
Oh!
Just a minute.
Hold this.
Dear Surya,
I don't know who you are.
But, I know Charu.
I didn't think that in this short time,
I would have found a place in her heart.
I will come there.
Tell Charu, not to worry.
Coming 22nd, we will meet at Lovedale.
Hi!
Why are you late?
Can you make tea for me?
Sit.
What happened?
Did you get any mail?
You are not saying anything?
If I don't ask anything,
you are not saying anything.
-Come, don't be scared. Jump.
-No dad, I'm not coming.
-It is very deep, I will stay here.
-Come in.
Dad! Dad!
What happened dad? Dad!
Dad! Dad!
Dad! What happened dad?
Daddy!
Da...!
From then he has become like this, doctor.
He is not talking properly.
I don't know what happened.
When he tries to convey his thoughts,
that accident comes to his mind.
We call this, Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder.
When he feels that those who love him
are with him always,
or when his life goes as per his wishes,
this will automatically subside.
You don't have to worry about it.
Treatment is not necessary for this.
Since he is very young, you just
need to take extra care of him.
Alright, doctor.
Hello!
Why are you silent?
I'm asking you so many times.
Tell me!
Alright no need, I'm leaving now.
Charu! Charu wait.
Why did you leave?
I need to tell you something.
What is it?
Kathir has mailed.
He couldn't come earlier,
it seems he had some problem then.
He is coming this Wednesday.
We will go.
I thought so,
that there could've been some problem.
He is not someone who will do that.
Hey! Why do you look dull?
Be happy.
When did he say, he's coming?
Wednesday!
Wednesday!
He's coming right?
You are also coming right?
Huh?
Okay! Thanks!
Bye!
You should also come for sure
on Wednesday.
Okay, bye!
I've informed the plumber, Father.
He will come tomorrow,
and get it done, Father.
Who is it standing there?
It's our Annamma Mary, Father.
-Ask them to come.
-Joseph!
-Open the gate for them.
-We've come to see Father, behave properly.
-Let's ask Father.
-Just shut up and come.
Don't talk some nonsense inside.
Just come quietly.
-Listen to what Father tells you.
-Okay, sister.
-Praise the Lord, Father!
-Praise the Lord!
I've decided to get Charu married to
my brother, Michael, Father!
If you can fix a date for us...
You don't come for prayers regularly.
You will think of church only when there is
a wedding or any function.
Father... er...
-Michael?
-Yes, Father.
-Tell me one prayer.
-Come in front.
Prayer Father!
Prayer means you need to chant.
-Tell!
-Tell man.
-Chant!
-Hey! Hail Mary, full of Grace...
Don't you know?
-Tell.
-Hail Mary...
-I forgot sister.
-Why are you shaming me like this?
Wait here.
Why?
Do you know about this tree?
If you pray to this tree,
whatever you wish will happen.
That's why everyone prays to it.
Oh!
Oh! Tree God!
This time, Kathir should come,
and take me with him.
Please!
You also pray for me.
It will be good if both of us
pray together, right?
Hmmm.
If you are truly a powerful tree,
he shouldn't come.
She is meant for me.
I will take good care of her.
I will look after her throughout
her life.
He shouldn't come.
-What did you wish for?
-Huh?
In the month of October, on 15th,
morning 11am, is the second prayer.
-Shall I note it down?
-Yes Father.
Charu, wait.
Listen to me, please wait!
Charu!
No! You don't have to tell anything.
My life is gone.
He has cheated me.
He has cheated me the second time.
Just leave me.
Wait Charu!
Hey! What happened?
Look Charu!
Wait Charu!
I'm talking to you.
Won't you stop?
Hey!
Stop Charu.
Are you going to say that, he might have
had some important work, and couldn't come?
Am I right?
Look!
May be he really had some important
work, that he couldn't come.
What work could be more important
than me?
I don't know that, but,...
Hey!
-Look there!
-What?
Look that side.
Who is that?
Look at how stylishly that
sister is smoking.
Hey! Charu?
Have you done something like this secretly?
Oh no! I'm a very good girl.
Really!
So,
what would you have done,
if Kathir had come?
I would have been very happy.
I didn't ask that.
What would you speak to him?
Let's assume that you are Kathir.
Why did you leave me and go?
Do you know how much I missed you?
Do you know where all I searched for you?
But, I guess you never even thought of me.
Okay.
Atleast now, you wanted to see me!
Save me from getting married to Micheal,
and take me away from here.
I love you!
I love you, Surya!
Sorry!
Instead of Kathir, I said,
'I love you, Surya'!
That's okay.
Sorry.
Why did you do like that?
You should've said,
'I love you, Kathir'.
You just said, 'I love you, Surya'!
What would have Surya thought?
Maybe since I'm spending a lot
of time with Surya,
I'm calling out his name a lot!
Hey Jude!
I'm asking you, but you are
still playing!
Just like how every other girl gets it,
you have also got it.
What?
Love!
Love?
-Yes!
-Then what about Kathir Karl Marx?
You already have Michael problem
to escape from.
You asked me for a solution for that.
We saw a lot of people,
but you said you liked that Kathir.
Er...
So that was not love?
That was not love, that was just a crush.
Crush? That means?
This is how people give a lot
of new labels to everything now.
Crush, bestie, lovers, etc.
But finally, they elope with someone
else and get married.
Oh no! I'm not like that.
Does that mean, you are in love with him?
Not exactly love,
it's just a feeling.
But, you said you were thinking
about him, the whole night?
That is what even I'm confused about.
Even I'm not sure why
I'm like this, Jude!
Then throw it away.
No!
Whenever I look at this button,
I'm very happy.
So, you are in love with him.
Is it?
-Am I in love with him?
-Yes!
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
They caress my heart gently,
This is a new kind of pleasure.
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
Here and there, everywhere
I am seeing your face!
When I see love,
I am living with you!
I am searching for myself;
I found myself in you!
Time doesn't move, it has frozen!
Our hearts became one!
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
They caress my heart gently,
This is a new kind of pleasure.
Colourful dreams are chasing me!
They are sweeter to think about,
and make my heart flutter!
-Don't go and tell him immediately.
-Why?
You've already told him that
you love Kathir.
'Please, I'm in love with him,
so help me get together with him!'
Now, if you go and tell him this,
he will think of you as an idiot.
Why are you confusing me?
You're the one who said, it is love.
Yes, I said.
But he will think that this girl
is in love with everyone!
-Is it?
-Yes!
Alright, give me an idea
as to what I should do, Jude!
Wait! I need to think deep.
What do we do?
You first find out if you are
there in his heart!
How do I...
When both of you are alone,
try to touch his hand.
If I touch?
If you touch, it should shock him.
Is it?
Yes do it and see.
If you feel the shock, then,
both of you are in love with each other.
Take his hand, alright?
Dear Kathir,
you didn't come here last time,
after promising to come.
Charu is upset because of that.
I am in a position to explain, Charu's
current state to you.
Whatever I'm telling you now,
was told to me by this town's
postman, two days back.
The house you had stayed here,
belonged to Charu's father,
Anthony Johnson.
The family that had stayed there for
generations from British period,
Johnson who was the last heir stayed
back and didn't go to London.
He fell in love with Charu's mother,
Rosamma Mary and married her.
He went to London a few days after
Charu was born, and didn't come back.
Unable to bear the separation,
Charu's mother passed away.
The person who came to
look after Charu then.
is her step-mother, Annamma Mary.
If Charu marries someone and leaves,
she might lose all the property,
she has been trying to get Charu
married to her brother, Michael.
So, didn't Charu's father ever
think about Charu?
He has left behind his property.
He believes that Annamma Mary will
take care of it well.
Hey pass the ball to me!
Hello!
-Hello Surya!
-Sir!
-How are you?
-I'm doing good, sir.
-How are you?
-I'm fine.
How is it going for you?
I'm still in search of it, sir.
I think, I have come here
quite early, sir.
Actually, it is only towards
the end of winter,
birds will fly this side, it seems.
Okay!
If I come back after 20-25 days,
it will be the right time, sir.
Oh!
Sir, shall I come to Chennai now,
and then return?
Not required, you can get the
pictures and then come.
Okay sir, okay sir.
Thanks.
Charu, I'm going to tell
you a good news!
You will become very happy
on hearing it.
You know what it is?
I mailed Kathir last night.
Hey!
I'm telling you something,
and you are not even reacting?
Take your hand.
I'll read the mail, listen.
Dear Kathir,
you could have a thousand
reasons, for not turning up last time.
But, at the same time, you should also
try to understand, Charu's situation.
May be you did not understand
her current situation.
Hey Jude! What are you doing?
My mother is not well.
So, I'm trying to find snails.
What happened?
Did you get shocked?
All your ideas are a total waste!
I didn't get shocked or anything!
You didn't get shocked?
Then do one thing.
Don't see him for three days.
If I don't see him?
Without seeing you, he should
search for you everywhere!
He should go mad without seeing you.
Then watch how automatically,
he will get shocked.
Will it come?
Definitely it will come.
Alright, I will try.
-Thank you Jude, bye.
-Bye.
What do you want, son?
Do you have owlets?
-Omlette?
-Owlet sir.
We don't have such a
kind of bird, son.
Hey Charu!
Who asked you to come out,
so soon?
It's so boring to stay locked up
inside the house.
-That's why I came to class.
-What is this!
You could've just waited
for one more day!
Hey! He's coming, go and hide inside.
Hey! Me!
Jude!
Come here.
What brother?
Where is Charu?
Charu has gone out of town,
for two days.
She has left town?
She didn't even tell me?
Alright, tell her that I'm also going
back to my place.
Oh no! He is also leaving town?
I thought he will go crazy,
but he will end up making me crazy!
Surya! Surya!
Hey!
Jude said, you had gone
out of town?
-No I didn't go.
-Hey careful!
I've been searching for you everywhere!
Hey! I've received a mail from Kathir.
He is definitely coming tomorrow.
Be ready tomorrow morning.
We need to go to the railway station.
Why do you look dull?
-Nothing.
-Are you not well?
You are fine, right?
Be ready tomorrow. Okay?
Bye!
Foolish Charu!
-Hello mom!
-Hello!
-I called Ethiraj.
-He is sleeping, mom!
I called to talk to him about something.
Shall I ask him to call you,
once he wakes up?
Wait!
Don't get upset with me.
Can I tell you something?
Tell mom!
A girl's profile has come for you,
from Kanchipuram.
The girl's father is your
father's college friend.
So, they know you and your profession.
They said you can do whatever
you wish to do.
So, I want to fix this girl for you.
I will send you the girl's photo,
-can you see and tell your opinion?
-Mom!
What is the need to get
married now?
So,
are you still thinking
about that Charu?
Nothing like that.
In that case, can I say
yes to that girl's family?
Do as you wish, mom.
Alright, son.
Wait a minute.
Why doesn't he understand me?
I told him that I was in love with Kathir,
without any option,
but he is still hanging on to that?
I am in love with him now.
How can he not know even that?
I don't know what you will do,
but he shouldn't come. Ok?
Please!
Alright, shall we go?
Yes, we can go.
Before that, I should also pray.
-What are you going to pray?
-Hold this, I will tell.
How selfish I have been.
Instead of understanding
that girl's pain,
I prayed for me to get her.
I realise that it was my mistake.
Just like her wish,
let Kathir come here.
Let him come and take her.
Her happiness is important to me.
Let my love stay with me.
Make him come somehow, please!
Hey!
Charu! Hey!
Charu!
Where are you going?
Charu, wait.
I said wait.
Hey!
What happened?
Why did you come back?
What did you pray for?
I prayed that Kathir should come.
I don't have any hope.
I'm very happy!
Hey!
He has mailed saying he will come
for your sake.
How can we not go now?
That is his fate!
He cheated us all these days.
This time, let him feel it.
Hey!
He will definitely not come.
How are you saying that he will not come?
He won't come,
he will definitely not come.
He will not come.
Look!
He will surely come.
He wont!
Bet?
You tell.
Will you carry me piggyback?
Alright, I will.
But first you come.
He will definitely not come.
He won't come.
See?
Didn't I tell you?
See, he didn't come.
Come, let's go.
He won't come.
Come.
Come.
Come on!
Come!
Jolly!
Didn't I tell you, that he won't come?
We went through so much struggle.
-I already knew it.
-How are you not worried?
Why do I care if he comes or not?
What I said has happened.
Look! You should get married to that
drunk guy only.
Okay, I don't care!
Hey! A bet is a bet.
You promised to piggyback me.
Come.
What a fool!
Am I going to do anything,
without your knowledge?
Sir, just a minute.
What nephew!
The story is going in a new direction!
What are you saying, uncle?
What am I saying?
Weren't you mailing someone to try and
patch up Charu with him?
But, when I saw both of you
yesterday, it didn't look that way.
Why would you say that uncle?
-That girl is like a child.
-But you are not a child.
Think before you act.
If the guy comes here because of your mail,
and sees you both like this,
-how would he feel?
-What is this uncle?
Surya, I know you very well.
In this situation, all girls,
will look for someone to console them
and offer a shoulder to comfort.
But we should only be careful.
Got it? Water the plants.
Your mother has also fixed
a girl for you.
Be careful.
Buddy!
Have you been in love
with any girl?
Do you know something, buddy?
I like Charu very much, buddy.
-Is it?
-My Charu!
I loved Charu very sincerely, buddy!
Don't stare at me.
When I heard that you both were
getting married, I gave her up.
That is a promise, buddy.
Neither for you, nor for me,
she is roaming around with
some photographer guy.
Photographer?
-Yes!
-Is that him?
-Yes him!
-Get up!
I'll see to him.
Don't spare him buddy!
Go soon, buddy.
Don't spare him wherever he is.
Hey buddy stop! Stop!
Oh no! Oh no!
-Hey buddy!
-Why are you beating me?
It's not him.
You said, a photographer.
It is another guy.
Some other guy. You come.
Why did you hit me now?
That is nothing.
We are on our way to a fight.
-So I just did a test run with the stick.
-You fool!
You should try on a shirt
before buying,
will you do a trial for a fight as well?
Go! What stick is this?
What stick is this?
Oh no!
Very good stick. Carry on!
Go, get lost!
I came to get medicine
for my headache,
they have made me buy
medicine for the whole body!
Go to hell, fools!
-Look he is going there!
-Get him buddy!
Hit him!
Charu!
-What?
-Come here, I'll tell you.
-What happened?
-Come!
I don't have any pain, why would you
put such a big bandage for a small scrape?
Charu!
What are these thoughts
that run in my mind?
The words you speak in silence
are colorful!
In my heart, in my dreams,
in my reality;
I feel like spreading my wings;
My heart is getting drenched
in a new river!
What are these thoughts
that run in my mind?
The words you speak in silence
are colorful!
In the sound of pearls dropping,
hold me in your embrace!
In the sound of peals dropping,
hold me in your embrace!
To speak the unspoken word,
just be with me and don't leave!
-Charu, where are you going happily?
-To meet Surya.
Look at her, talking without even
looking at me, in her happiness!
Watch your step!
What are these thoughts
that run in my mind?
The words you speak in silence
are colorful!
So, you go so deep into
the forests,
won't a tiger come and get you?
If I think of that, I can't do it.
So, a tiger can only bite, right?
Then why do people say,
that a tiger will hit?
Is this your question?
Alright.
Now, I'm a tiger,
and you are a human.
Should I hit you or bite you now?
-Hey just be quiet.
-Tell. Should I hit you or bite you?
Hey no!
Wait!
-Hey!
-Wait!
No! Stop it.
Charu! Hey!
Why are you behaving
so childish?
I'm telling you!
What are you doing?
Huh?
Hey!
I thought of you as a nice girl!
But you are behaving so cheap!
I thought you were like a child.
But you have become a bad girl.
Don't stand in front of me.
Just get lost!
I should not have behaved
that way with Charu, yesterday.
But, I didn't have a choice.
I am not able to ask Charu
to forgive me immedaitely.
Even if I ask,
I don't know if she will be
able to understand me.
I will ask for forgiveness someday.
But before that, I wanted to tell you.
Sir!
Sir, careful!
Watch out!
What happened?
Are you fine?
Have some water.
Thanks.
Is it enough?
Sir, I'm Surya.
Wildlife photographer.
-I see!
-Working for Tamilnadu Adventures.
That...
The Nilgiri, Laughing thrush...
I've come to Ooty to
photograph that bird.
Oh that bird?
That bird is very tough.
Yes sir.
Your name, sir?
Prabakaran Balachandar.
Prabakaran!
Sorry sir, I haven't seen or heard
about you before.
How could you have heard?
I will delete all my photographs
the next day, always.
But, why would you delete them?
Do you know the demand these
birds have worldwide?
How many magazines,
how many websites?
Sir, apart from money...
Okay, apart from money?
Name, sir.
Then?
Sir!
Popularity.
My name is getting registered everywhere!
What are you getting out of it?
Isn't it happiness?
I get some happiness out of it.
I get that when I'm photographing
these birds.
Whenever I take pictures
of any bird,
I will be very happy
at that moment.
I cannot become a bird,
but, the time I spend with them,
through the camera,
interacting with them,
through the lens,
the happiness I get out of it,
I will never get it
from anything else in the world.
That's my happiness.
The Laughing thrush that
you were talking about,
will not be found in the buffering area.
You need to go to the core area.
Core area?
Theppakaadu,
Mudhumalai forest area,
you can find him, in these places.
Thank you, sir.
Then, one more thing.
Throw away all your frustration.
Look at him.
Admire him.
Look for yourself inside him.
You will get it.
-Okay?
-Okay sir, thank you.
Huh?
Sister!
You said you will stop drinking
once the wedding date is fixed!
You are still drinking everyday!
Quitting alcohol is not
a big deal at all!
I will quit it, the before
my wedding day.
-Just see how I live with Charu.
-Yeah I will.
Brother! Greetings!
Why have you come here all this way?
I wanted to come and see you too.
But you have come.
It is nothing, brother,
my wedding has been fixed.
I need some money.
You still haven't repaid me
the money you have borrowed,
and you are asking me for
more money is it?
I will pay you.
What seems to be the issue?
Pledging the documents
of this house,
he has borrowed more than
ten lakh rupees,
-and he is not repaying the loan either!
-Ten lakh rupees?
Hey! What is he saying?
That is nothing, sister!
Just a simple gambling matter.
I lost it in a game.
I will win it in the next.
-That is not a big amount at all.
-My foot!
Look madam!
I heard that he is getting married.
You better write this property
in my name.
Or else, you pay be back and get
him married or do whatever you want.
I had no idea that he has borrowed
so much money, son.
I will try to pay you the money, somehow.
Don't come home,
and create trouble.
I will surely give you the money.
I am leaving now,
for your face alone!
My money should come to me fully.
Else, heads will roll here.
Leave that brother!
Is that document worth just ten lakhs,
or can you spare two more?
Get lost!
Hey!
What have you done?
This house is going to come to me
anyway after my marriage,s
-I will handle it, sister.
-Your house?
This is Charu's father's house.
We are living in his house.
If you are taking loan and drinking like
this before marriage, what will you do after?
You would have sold it in one day
and ruined it.
You don't deserve to get married.
Don't irritate me.
Let go, sister!
Aunty!
Michael, don't you dare touch
my step-mother.
What is your problem?
This house right?
Take it and get lost!
This is what I like about you, Charu!
Look at her!
I love you Charu!
O God!
CarefuL!
Aunty, come, let's go inside.
When you were a child,
you couldn't study well.
You were very innocent.
I thought you were very gullible
and I was strict with you.
Aunty!
You took care of me, well!
I thought if I get you married to
Michael, he will also change,
and you will also stay with me.
But, I've just realized that
it is not possible to change that drunk.
The way step-mother is speaking,
I think she might not
get me married to Michael.
I should first tell this to Surya!
Hi Charu!
My mom means the world to me!
When she suddenly got paralysed,
I went on a long leave to Chennai!
I was here for just a short duration.
But, you were all so good to me,
and took care of me well.
But in just those few days,
Charu will fall in love with me,
was something I didn't expect.
Based on the mail that Surya sent,
I came to know that Charu
was in love with me.
But, at that time,
since my mother had an operation,
I was not able to come.
But only in the second mail
that Surya sent,
I got to know the situation here.
My mom also read that mail.
My mother liked Charu a lot.
Charu...
if she comes home with us,
more than her taking care of
my mom and me,
to tell you that we will take
care of Charu,
is my wish!
If all of you agree to it,
I am willing to marry Charu.
Ask Charu to come.
Charu!
Come here.
We are not sure about your decision,
but I feel Charu as my girl.
One minute!
Alright?
I don't know what your step-mother
might say,
but if you come, we will be happy.
My brother and Charu were supposed to
get married in church, this Sunday.
We didn't know that Charu was
in love with Kathir.
Now, looking at Kathir, I feel that
he is the perfect match for Charu!
So, if you all agree to it, we can
have the wedding on the same date.
As long as Charu becomes my
daughter in law, I'm happy.
Hello!
-Yes sir!
-What are you doing Surya?
Sir! What happened?
What do you mean what happened?
How long has it been since you went there?
-What are you doing there?
-Sir!
-Sir, I am trying my best.
-How long are you going to keep trying?
I sent you there by placing
trust in your talent.
Sir...
-thank you for all that, but...
-Sorry Surya,
the management is putting pressure on me,
to relieve you from this project.
Sir!
Sir!
Please sir, give me just one more week,
I will definitely capture and send it.
I will definitely honor the trust
that you have placed on me.
Sir please.
Alright, but your time is one more week.
I can't manage anymore.
You need to send the pictures
and videos by then.
I will sir.
Thank you.
Where is he going wearing his
camouflage clothes?
Nephew!
Nephew!
You look like you are going to war!
Are you going to shoot?
Huh?
You know what, the work that you
came here to do, is done.
-What?
-I mean,
you sent mail after mail to ask
that boy to come, for Charu.
That boy and girl are getting married.
Very happy to hear it.
So where are you off to?
Nephew, which area are you going to?
-Mudhumalai.
-Mudhumalai?
-So far...
-Alright I'm leaving.
It will take four days for me
to return.
Alright, have you decided?
Torch, phone, powerbank,
all these are important in a forest.
Call me if you need any help.
-Alright, uncle.
-Hey wait!
On my way here, Charu asked me to
give this bag to you.
May be she gave this gift to you,
for getting them both together.
Huh?
Get me one honey bottle
from Mudhumalai.
It seems it is very good for that matter.
Surya, don't forget the phone and honey.
Father, we have fixed another
boy for Charu!
-Can we have this wedding on the same day
we had fixed Charu's and Michael's wedding?
Yes we can.
Finally, Charu has escaped from Michael.
What will I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
What do I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
What does fate have in store for me?
What kind of a life is this?
What will I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
As long as you were with me,
I didn't realize your value!
When I wanted your company,
you were not with me!
As long as you were with me,
I didn't realize your value!
When I wanted your company,
you were not with me!
Fate is ruling over our lives,
No one can interfere or say anything!
Do I just accept it, or change myself?
Do I just accept it, or change myself?
What will I do?
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
I had gone home to meet Surya,
he was not there.
That's why I came to the factory,
to meet you.
Can you tell me his whereabouts...
Who are you? Your name?
I'm Kathir.
Kathir!
Madras, mail, Charu!
-Welcome! How are you?
-I'm doing good.
He has gone inside the forests.
With every step forward,
I keep going backwards!
The world laughs at me,
as I hurt myself
Whatever happens is not
in our hands!
I will only get older as I wait longer!
Do I wait with expectation?
Do I wait with expectation?
Charu dear!
You look like an angel in this.
My dear beloved!
What do I say?
My dear beloved!
-Welcome. Praise the Lord!
-Welcome!
Welcome!
Dear Kathiravan Karl Marx,
and Charal Anthony Johnson!
have presented yourselves before the
Church of God to enter into holy matrimony.
To know your intentions,
I question you before the
Church of God!
Have both of you on your own accord,
come here to marry each other,
without anyone's persuasion?
Yes, we have.
Both of you agree to follow
the marital code,
for the rest of your lives,
are ready to love and respect
each other?
Yes we are ready.
Since both of you are in agreement,
both of you hold your right hands.
In front of God,
in the Holy Church,
express your consent.
I, Kathiravan Karl Marx,
take you Charal Anthony Johnson,
as my wife.
Stop here!
Thanks boss. Thank you!
What Ali! You were called for the
wedding, and you've come on time to eat!
Get lost! I know! Idiot!
Move move!
Hey Ghulam!
Where are you going in a hurry?
How many times should I call you?
-Your number is not reachable!
-There is no signal.
What 'no signal'! Here.
-Watch this!
-What happened?
See!
Did you see?
Hey!
Oh no!
Hey!
-Charal
-Charu! Charu!
-Anthony Johnson!
Charu! Look at this!
-What happened?
-Kathir!
Charu what happened?
Kathir?
What happened?
I don't know mom, let's see!
Tell me what!
Charu! Charu!
Charu, wait!
Hey! What is this?
Charu! Charu dear!
-What happened?
-Dear Charu!
-What is it?
-Hey!
-I don't know why she is even crying.
-Charu what happened?
Charu!
Son, see what it is!
Due to unexpected forest fire
that spread in Mudhumalai forests,
four college students from Chennai who went
trekking, died in the fire.
Moreover, more than ten people
have been severely injured.
Wildlife photographer Surya, who
went to rescue those caught in the fire,
also got caught in the fire,
got severly injured,
-and has been admitted to the hospital...
-What is this?
I'm not sure either!
It seems four students have died too!
Oh no!
-Why is she crying like this for him?
-Ask her!
Charu! Alright!
He will be fine! You shouldn't
cry like this on your wedding day!
Why are you crying like this?
Because, she is in love with Surya!
Huh?
What is this new story you are saying?
When you tried to get her married
to Michael,
in order to escape from that,
I was the one who gave her the idea
to love and get married to Kathir.
But, only when she was with Surya,
she was very happy.
She started falling in love with Surya!
But, Surya, took what Charu said
long back to heart,
and mailed Kathir and asked him to come.
She agreed to this wedding
for the sake of all of you.
Dear!
Did you also love Surya?
You could have just told him that.
I don't understand anything, son.
I don't know what is happening here.
I have understood everything.
Sir, we are waiting outside for so long.
Why are you not letting us inside!
-Rajendran!
-Wait! He will come!
Wait! I will talk.
Tell us sir, what is the problem?
If you just keep walking,
what should we understand?
All of you calm down for a bit!
Calm down and listen to me!
Nothing is going to happen
if you all are getting anxious!
The doctor is treating the patients.
When the doctor calls each one of you,
-I will send you one by one.
-Move aside!
-I told you all to be calm.
-Move aside.
-Wait! Wait!
-Sir! Surya from the fire accident...
I am his uncle, sir!
Alright, stay calm.
-Sir, I just want to see him once.
-Stay calm, doctors are treating him.
SP sir, has instructed us not to
let anyone inside!
-Sir, stay calm!
-Son, you tell him!
Be calm for sometime.
-Where are you taking us?
-All of you disperse, don't crowd around!
Be brave! Nothing will happen.
Don't worry!
-Come come!
-Son!
How is Surya, from the fire accident?
All the bodies are being sent
for post-mortem.
-What are you saying?
-It will take time, wait for sometime.
What is he saying? It is scary!
What is happening inside?

What is it?
Is it you? Come here.
-Hey go!
-Yes, coming.
Come!
Sister!
When did you come?
How is Surya? What are they saying?
He is still in the ICU!
-Doctor hasn't said anything yet!
-Oh no!
I'm scared!
Nothing will happen to him.
Don't worry sister!
Come, dear!
This is Charu!
I know.
Who is Charu here?
The patient is calling Charu, Charu
so many times!
The doctor is calling her.
You go.
Come!
Come.
Who are all these people?
Sir, the patient who was saying
Charu Charu...
-they are his family!
-Oh! Alright.
Why are there so many of you?
Only one person has to
go in with them!
-The others wait.
-Okay sir!
-Only one of you come with me.
-Sir, he's my nephew!
I will also go and see.

You alone go.
Nothing will happen to your Surya!

I love you too!
Charu!
I love you!
Don't cry, Charu.
What happened?
What are you thinking about?
-Nothing.
-Nothing, right?
Don't think about anything.
I'm here.
I'm here for you.
The last photo that Surya clicked,
is this Laughing Thrush.
After that accident, Surya,
couldn't handle a camera.
All these photos that you are looking
at now, are in the name of Surya,
taken by Charu!
True love does not expect
a pretty face or a body.
Perceiving the dreams of those we love,
as our own,
and helping them fulfil it,
is the meaning of true love.
