Yes, uncle
- Very good - On time
I'm on my way home
Okay, I'm waiting for you at home
See you in half an hour
- Okay, dear - Okay, uncle
Thank you, sir
- How are you? - Fine, uncle and you?
I'm fine How is Mumbai life?
Same as anywhere else
If someone yells at you in Hindi when driving, it's Mumbai
If cuss words in Tamil, it's Chennai
That's a good one Come,,,come in
You could have rented this place instead of locking it for 2 years
No, uncle
Let the US program get confirmed
We can decide then
- How long are you here? - 3 days
I came to attend an important client meeting
Did you eat?
If you need anything, call me
- See you - Okay, bye
'Lock the gate, Shiva'
'Why haven't you taken off your shoes, Shiva?'
'Did you think it's your office?'
Is he playing games with us?
It's a project worth 3 billion
We are almost near completion
He's now cribbing and wants to demolish this and that
- Who is he? - His name is Sabapathy
He got transferred recently
Very straightforward
On top of it he's very rude
So are you asking me to demolish everything?
I trusted you and started this project, right?
Hey, you wait here
Okay, bro
Where's my girl?
The other 3 are fine
He's the only one creating a problem
- Greetings, bro,,,sir - Hello, Ranga
We've offered 1 million through the councillor
He isn't budging an inch
- Get him transferred again - That isn't possible
There's only 1 way out
Let's transfer him forever!
What do you mean?
We have no other choice, Guna
He has started to probe already
He's going to send your file to the head office tomorrow
Before that we must finish him off
That's it then
Ranga, go to his house and kill his whole family
Hey, Guna
Your anger is blinding you
'He's a Govt servant'
If anything misfires all of us will be behind bars
When and what should be done,,,
,,,I'll instruct
- Ranga,,,? - Sir
Madhavi, I've been trying your # for the past 2 days and it's switched off?
- My phone fell into a tub of water - Then?
I stuffed it into the sack of rice
- Rice bag? - Don't you know?
Mangoes are usually stored in rice
But this is news to me
Don't worry, I'll get you a Samsung phone
Why do I need a Samsung phone?
iPhone will do!
'iPhone,,,'?
- Ranga, understood? - Yes, sir
Simple matter
But you must execute it properly
Ranga, who is going with you?
I'll take our boy Kasi
- Why him? - No one will suspect him
I'll take care I'll finish and call you
Okay
Move aside I have a lot of work to do
- I want to ask you something - What,,,?
If I buy you an iPhone,,,
,,,what will you give me in return?
Shall I tell you?
- I'll say it - Please do, sweetheart
I'll give you
,,,my old phone!

Hi, Mr, Govindharajan-
I've already informed Please wait for 5 minutes
Where is the swimming pool?
- Cheenu,,,! - My friends are waiting there
Can you just tell me the way?
'Call the manager I'll talk to him'
'Is this how you treat a guest?'
'I asked you how to go to the pool and you're royally ignoring me'
I have an important job in the pool
- I must go, swim and meet my friends - Please attend to him
Mr Krishna,,,?
We don't have a pool here
What do you mean?
This is supposed to be a 5 star hotel
This is not a hotel
Care centre
And you've already showered this morning
Really,,,?
Where did you go?
Mrs Sarada was creating such a ruckus
Before I could placate her,,,
,,,he walked out with his towel
Okay, take him with you
Come with me, sir
'My friends are waiting near the swimming pool'
'- Let them wait there - How mean!'
It's around 6 months since you visited last, right?
I called you
In fact, I mailed you too
I think you must have been busy
Why, any problem?
I've been paying promptly
No,,,no

Yeah,,,bye
- Will he take some time? - He'll be here now
- Are you taking him out anywhere? - Yes, I need to buy him clothes
I'm leaving to U,S in 3 months
Don't know when I'll come back
In the last 6 months his condition has deteriorated
He's unable to remember anything new
In fact Shiva, Thilaka
- Only these 2 names - 1 second
Yes?
That's the mail I was talking about
- Sorry - So in his present condition
He needs daily monitor-
Money is not an issue at all Do whatever needs to be done
No, it's not about money
How much longer will it take for dad to come?
5 minutes

Will anyone buy oranges for 6 months?
Sir,,,?
Sir,,,!
Sir,,,?
Govind sir
- Will you come home early today? - Why,,,?
Didn't I tell you about the alliance we saw?
The groom's mother called me They want to come home this evening
- He's a doctor - Is that so?
- Yes, dear - Orthopaedic surgeon
Owns a big hospital in Anna Nagar
He is doing very well
That's right
These days when people fall sick
,,,they google online
Go to a pharmacy and self medicate
But,,,
,,,if it's a fracture no other go
The patient has to go to a hospital
Will you please be quiet?
Shall I serve something?
- Hello? - 'Hello, doctor'
Our Govind is missing, doctor
Whaaaat,,,?
He must be there Ask our staff to search
I'll come right away
- Okay,,,okay - Finish your lunch, dear
It's an emergency, a patient is missing I must go immediately, ma
Archana,,,Archana This is a very good alliance
Compatible in every way
They don't expect anything from us Just help maintain their hospital
That's the hidden agenda!
Then ask them to find a graduate in accountancy!
This won't work out, ma
Is this a hospital or recreation club? Where’s my father?
Shiva, please calm down
You’re incapable of taking care of a patient, huh?
How irresponsible all of you are
Shiva, please
Shut up! I pay you to take care of my father
Call yourself a doctor?
- You are being rude unnecessarily - I like that
I’ll make sure this ends your career
What-
Shiva
Shiva, please Wait a second
You want to apologize, huh?
Why should I apologize to you?
You didn’t know to take good care of him when you took him out
You didn’t know to bring him safe and sound back to our care
You didn’t know it was wrong to leave him with our security and not even look back
Your father may not be important to you
You may have 101 issues with him
Every patient is important to us
Very important
I don’t know if you’ll go to the cops or court
Or search for your father It’s your wish
We’ll call you when we find him
“In a world where men seek God religiously he is searching for a manso anxiously”
“In a world where men seek God devotedly he is searching for a managitatedly”
“A human being so humane He is looking for that man in vain”
“Will he be found in this world I wonder”
“Will he be elsewhere I ponder”
“Will he be found in this world here?”
“Or a totally different world or sphere?”
“While searching for his father dear why does he delve within him deeper?”
“In the process of this self exploration they forgot their original mission”
“One who hoards and locks his wealth wants to add to his millions in stealth”
“The millionaire who has amassed as such; he is seeking power, politics and overmuch”
“One who has lived life to the fullest wants to climb to the next rung in earnest”
“One who has reached the peak of fame wants to achieve more laurels to his name”
“To keep seeking has become the name of the game”
“Most of the time in a man’s lifespan spent searching as much as he can”
“On earth that God almighty descended searching for a kind heart contented”
“His wish didn’t come true as intended”
“Where is the man care-free living like the wind without a worry?”
“Here is a man whose intention is to clamor for attention”
"Where are the very few who are kind and true?"
"Vengeful hearts you find are the ones left behind"
"Saying ‘we have no one' we don’t have anyone"
"Since a child every mother gives birth is a gift from God on this earth"
“O’ man, stop being tired and weary search for peace on the contrary”
That’s God’s sign of glory
“In a world where men seek God spiritually he is searching for a man spiritedly”
“A human being so humane He is looking for that man in vain”
- Hey! Give me - Yes, bro
Here, bro
What’s this place?
It was a library Now it’s locked
Okay, bro
- I have a long term wish - To buy an iPhone?
You should do the ordering and I should kill someone
How long will we work for this Guna sir?
Hey! If you talk ill of Guna bro-
I’m not deriding him
I was penniless and stranded in the middle of a road
If I’m riding a bike today I owe it all to him
I should be loyal to him and carry out his orders, that’s all
I don’t have any personal desires
You should be the same way too
- Eat now - Okay, bro
Why couldn’t you shut the gate and then watch the match, Shiva?
Is the match in our favor?
Kohli got out
Rohit Sharma is batting well
I stopped watching cricket afterSachin Tendulkar retired
What kind of game is it nowadays!
Okay, where did you go?
Balu and I want to start a tuition center
- So I'm running from pillar to post - Why?
Because I spent all my savings building this house
After that, you said you wanted to go to the U,S after you graduate
Whatever I had saved for you covered your mother’s hospital expense
Now your mother is a framed photo and the house is mortgaged!
Why all this now?
You’re still trying to go abroad
Life is beautiful
You should have started this long ago
Didn’t Devaraj sir ask you then?
He did
I thought I won't be able to spend time with my family
Appa, so many fathers from a middle class background
…unable to fulfil their children’s wishes come up with some random excuses
You don’t have to bend backward for me
I’ll handle it myself
Okay, fine
I dropped a gentleman here
He went in to bring the cash
I’ve been waiting for 10 minutes
- Is that so? -Yes, sir
- 1minute - Okay, sir
Dad, did you come by auto?
What’s wrong with you?
You made the auto driver wait outside and happily sitting here and painting?
Poor man! He’s been waiting
Where is it?
Hey! Shiva It’s missing, did you see it?
- See what? - Aiyo! This…this
Watch?
Can’t you say ‘watch’? What’s up with you?
Your mother gifted it to me
It’s missing Did you take it?
Why will I take your watch?
Appa! Why did you put your watch in the ‘dosa’ batter?
APPA!
I’ll tell you 3 words now
Pay attention
Orange
Train
Bottle
Repeat
Orange, train, bottle
What’s the date today?
7th,,,18th
Month?
Doctor, what are you testing me for?
1st answer and then I’ll tell you
Spell ‘water’
w-a-t-e-r Water
Spell it in reverse
R,,
t-e-r
R-e-t
Okay, now tell me the 1st 3 words I told you
1st word was a fruit
O…orange
Good Next?
Orange-
Orange
What’s wrong with me, doctor?
MrGovind, you are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease
Beginning stage
Your memories will fade step by step
This is beginning stage
First he will have short term memory loss
Then he will slowly forget everything
As it worsens he will be devoid of any memories
Care is very important
As a family, friends to rally him around support system is very essential
Is there any other way to cure him?
Permanent cure hasn’t been found as yet
‘But we can slow down the process with the help of medicines’
‘That’s all we can do’
He will be frustrated when he loses his memory
You shouldn’t send him alone anywhere because he won’t know
,,,where he is or what he is doing
‘You must take care of him like a child’
Your role is very important
You took your tablets?
Yes, I did
I get this irritation towards the evening
It’s called sun-
Sun downing
I read about it
Appa I have some good news
- What? - I’ve got a promotion
Wow! Congratulations!
But the posting is in Mumbai
I have also agreed
Good! What a golden opportunity
You must go Good…good
Only thing is new place Be a little tough to adjust
I know Hindi I can adjust easily
No, dad, in your condition
You won’t fit into this new atmosphere
I have to stay with a colleague
I’ll hunt for a house much later
In a way you’re right
You go and settle down
I’ll be fine
Balu is there if I need anything
No, pa, you need 24 hours supervision
You should take your tablets regularly
Nutritious…proper food you have to take
I found a health care center on ECR road
It’s a specialty center for patients like you with Alzheimer’s
Very serene place
24 hours doctors and nurses are on call
Good food at proper timings
I’m sure you’ll find it really comfortable
Pa, don’t worry
I’ll visit you regularly
I’m doing this for your own good
Hope you underst-
Shiva…?
1 second, pa
‘Hello, yeah? Speaking’
It’s a good place
Even I feel like staying here
Who are you?
Balu…Balu, da
Ba-
Balu!
Did you get scared?
Idiot!
- Useless fellow - I might ask you in the future
Hey! How can you say that?
Won’t you visit me often?
Definitely
Come as long as I can recognize you, enough
Appa
Don’t worry, Shiva I’ll be alright
See you
Then listen, next time you’re here
…if I’ve forgotten you, you shouldn’t hold it against me
Let’s go
Don’t lose hope, Shiva
I’ve roamed all the streets you can think of, uncle
Knowing it was my carelessness
…I feel like killing myself
Shiva, do you know once he said these very same words to me
…and cried his heart out?
You must have been 3 or 3+ then
We had gone to the beach
It was jam packed You were missing
We ran helter-skelter looking for you
It took us 1 hour to find you
The trauma he went through that 1 hour, I can still remember
He cried his heart out and uttered these very same words to me
After that, for quite some time
…you know, wherever he went he’ll carry you only on his shoulder
Did you hear anything?
Not till now
Shiva, shall we give a police complaint imemdiately?
- What, bro? - You change the license plate
- I'll be right back - Again,,,?
Just carry out my orders
Yes, bro All okay
- We'll go in another half hour - Be careful, Ranga
Don't worry I'll take care
I'll call when I'm done
- Hello,,,? - Maadhuuuu
Why are you calling me at this unearthly hour?
What are you up to?
It will get messy if I share it with you
Had dinner, sweetheart?
Will you ask me in the middle of the night?!
- Are you mad or what? - Don't be mad at me!
- Okay, tell me - You wanted an iPhone, right?
Hello,,,?
Their network will be fine only in their commercials!
Haven't I told you not to talk to that jinxed female?
As if you need love now
Until our job is done don't call her
If you do, I'll bury you as well
Even if you bury me underground the love buried in my heart-
I'll clobber you Go and shut the door
He'll help only his friends
Who are you? What is your crime?
Nothing, sir, I tried my hand at organic farming
And your men arrested me, sir
Organic farming?
With great difficulty I used natural manure
- And grew a few marijuana plants - Marijuana,,,?
Farmers like me have no protection
I'll clobber you!
I'll pound you to a pulp, rascal
Yes?
Sir, we want to complain about a missing person
Haven't I told you to add less sugar in my tea? Jackass!
What did you say?
Complain about a missing person
- Tell me the name - Govindharajan, age 60
You don't look that old!
I'm telling you details of the missing person
1st tell your name
Shiva
Sir, his father went missing from the Care centre on ECR around 3:00 p,m
What did you say the name is?
- Shiva - Hello,,,!
Give me the missing person's name
That's what I told you
Govindharajan, age 60
Losing your cool?
That too in a police station!
You get bugged to mention your father's name twice?!
Did he go missing or walked out in a huff?
He's an Alzheimer's patient
Like this memory loss
I've heard about it
He's been missing since this afternoon
Do you know where he went?
If we knew that won't we bring him back?
Do you have any photo of him?
Your contact address, phone number
Record it and sign here
Tell your husband not to lose his temper here, as if it's his house!
Sir, we aren't a couple
- I'm a doctor at the Care centre - Sorry
Sir, he lost his cool because he's tense
Don't take it amiss please
As if we aren't tense
There was a protest whole day and I came back just now
Try standing in the sun all day Then you'll know!
Daily you know how many cases of missing father, mother, politician I deal with?
Okay, I'll inform the control room
You keep searching also
Bear this in mind
You may have to come to a hospital, mortuary now and then
If we get any information,,,
,,,I'll call you
Thank you, sir
Doctor,,,?
My name is Archana
Okay,,,I'm sorry, Archana
For what?
I was too harsh on you this afternoon
It's okay
Shiva, you get angry very easily
This isn't the time to lose your temper
Your dad says this to me often
Inside every person-
I know, black dog and white dog, right?
I've heard it many times
Moron! How many times I've told you about her?
Lured by her fair skin, huh?
Bro, in this country they will guess your caste by the color of your skin!
That's why I want to marry her and change my lineage
You are beyond redemption!
Even in films if you see, bro last week I watched a horror film
Heroine was very fair
After she dies she haunts as a spirit
She's dark skinned then How is that possible?
Angels are fair Ghosts are dark
Has the director seen a ghost?
It isn't like that
Fair skinned people are ghosts when alive
If dark skinned they are ghosts after they die, that's all
Super, bro
- Get me water - I didn't know this
They've made too many horror films and insulted spirits
No one will get spooked even if they see a ghost
Even kids find horror films funny instead of cartoons
- I want water - Aiyo! Ghost
Bro,,,!
Hello?
Sir,,,?
Aiyaiyo! Don't know what happened
Bro, it's an accident I think the driver is dead
Bro, it's our vehicle I'll take care
- Is anyone inside? - No, sir
How can you say there's no one inside?
- Don't open - Shiva!
Bro-
Call the ambulance, Shiva
Your mother is unwell
Mother,,,where?
It hurts real bad
I can't bear the pain
I'll call the ambulance I'll be back
Where's the phone?
Yov!
Bro,,,?
Bro,,,get up
Anna?
Dai, who are these people?
- The thing is - Where's the body?
Before I could shift him I saw another car
You moron! What have you done?
Go back
Stop the car Right here
Hey, you stay here
If you mess it up-
If Guna bro gets to know he'll kill us and dump our ashes in the sea
Take their phones I'll be back
Such a small task and you messed it up!
Give me some time I'll somehow-
Don't be daft
By now the cops would've rounded up all the rowdies
1st hide somewhere safe
Okay, sir
Where's your phone?
Don't you have a phone?
Who are you?
Where did you come from?
What to do with those 2 men?
1st find a good hiding place
After that kill them both
Let's discuss the rest tomorrow morning
Okay, sir
Dai,,,stop!
Aiyo!
Ouch!
Janaki,,,Janu,,,how did I come here?
It all seems like a dream
I was wondering if I'll ever see you again
Yesterday, 2 killers
,,,took turns targeting my head I fainted and fell down
One of them,,,
,,,I dreamt he stabbed me with a knife
I want 1 more 'dosa'
'Sambar' is very tasty
Your daughter made it?
Shiva is busy, he'll be back on Sunday
If he likes the girl, we'll finalise this alliance
Hello, what do you mean?
She's my wife!
Thanks, sis
Come here
What's happening here?
Making 'dosa' for them as if they are your family
How dare you ask me!
Last night I called you at 2:00 a,m
Some fellow said 'your husband met with a small accident, nothing serious'
He asked me for our address
And I told him
Oh my dear! What happened to him?
- Lock the gate, Shiva - Where's the bedroom?
- Which is his room? - Over there
What happened? Oh my gawd!
Only then I knew they were rowdies!
Hand over your phone
You shouldn't utter a single word
I don't want to hear even a whisper
If you think of being over smart I'll kill your whole family
Go
- Where's that man's phone? - Here, bro
Give me your phone Take it out
Whom will I call?
Then why do you need it?!
Go and check on the old man
You'll be drunk as a skunk and puke in our hall
I'll clean it up because it's my fate!
If you bring home thugs what will I do?
You're making 'dosas,' right?
- Hold your tongue! - Did I bring them?
Janu, listen Don't cry
I'll somehow convince them to leave
What if they still don't go?
Make your usual 'sambar' for lunch
They'll eat and leave once for all
Sir,,,1 minute
My name is Rajappa
This is my wife Janaki
I work in the sugar factory nearby as the Purchase manager
We are a middle class family, sir
We borrowed money and paid heavy interest to build this house
We are lower middle class now!
I don't mind telling you
When our PM announced at 8:00 p,m 1000 rupee notes won't be valid anymore,,,
,,,I was laughing until 8:30 p,m
All I had was only two 100 rupee notes
Sir, my wife and son are with me
Doesn't speak well if other men also stay here
I won't inform anyone
Police, CBI
Whoever questions me, I'll say that blow to my head made me forget everything
[loud hiccup]
Water
We are in this soup because you asked for water
Otherwise we would've buried that body and safely-
What does he mean?
- Why are you interrogating me? - I'm scared
Zip your lips
Shiva,,,?
Cut apple for your mother
Hey, get up
I've been watching you Are you making fun?
I'll strangle you
What-
Did you fall down again, Shiva?
It's okay
You can't learn to ride a cycle without falling down
Amma,,,?
Who are these strange men, ma?
He's your grandfather
He's your uncle
Then who is he?
He is-
We haven't identified him as yet!
Shiva, check if this is okay
Shall we add a cash reward?
Good idea!
Add 1 more line 'cash reward'
Take a printout immediately, okay?
How do I find my dad in such a big city?
Shiva, there's no other choice
We must be positive we'll find him and search
Doctor, when will John become alright?
In 1 week he should be fine
Next month we are planning to go to Kashmir
John's 50th birthday!
Oh! He'll be fine by then
- Don't worry - Thanks
Say thank you
Bye
- Both husband and wife have Alzheimer’s? - No,,,no
Only Maria
The wheel chair patient isn't even her husband
His name is Ramu He's another patient here
The man who accompanies her always He's her husband, Johnny
Imagine how I felt when it all started
Shocked by my answer?
Maria doesn't remember her husband Johnny
Don't know why
But she thinks Ramu is her husband
She'll behave like that even in front of him
Johnny is a great man
Maria doesn't recognise him
Even then he'll come daily and spend time with her
That's very important, Shiva
When I see all this, I feel even more guilty
Shiva, nothing wrong about leaving your dad here
You washed your hands off, right?
That's wrong
Very true, Archana
Even if this Care centre provides all the comforts,,,
,,,I realize the importance of family ties
When Maria mentioned about his birthday, I remembered
Last year we celebrated your dad's birthday
I had mailed you that video too
Did you watch it?
Maybe you were busy!
What are you so deep in thought, Shiva?
I was thinking about Maria's journey
How long has Mr Ram been here?
Around 1 year
He has a son
He admitted him here, that's it
After that he has never showed up
We tried persuading him to visit
'I'm sending money Your duty is to take care'
“Won’t eyes that sift and sieve see the person they seek intensely?”
“Won’t hurried feet running to and fro reach the right place instantly somehow?”
“Clouds in pursuit of the sky wander around They shower rain searching for the ground”
“Isn’t that a puzzle so profound?”
“Eyes that sift and sieve”
“Seek to perceive”
“Without pursuit life doesn’t exist”
"We came to search readily but blind as a bat really"
“Like the roots underground relish searching for water to nourish”
“We walked across though our paths criss-cross”
“In this quest so helpless meeting many a stranger hapless”
“Won’t the blowing breeze say so please?”
“To a lovely lullaby dainty flowers dance”
“Won’t the pleasure of pursuit enhance?”
“Won’t the rainbow hues 7 innate shining from heaven be adequate?”
“Won’t this quest end on a happy note?”
“Won’t eyes that sift and sieve see the person they seek intensely?”
“Won’t hurried feet running to and fro reach the right place instantly somehow?”
Sir…?
- Are you Mr Ram’s son? - Yes
Your father is in a bad shape
So what?
You should visit him now and then
Because you don’t his health has deteriorated
Why should you be bothered about him?
Do you work in that center?
No, but my dad is also an inmate
It isn’t enough just to send money every month
You must visit him often
He doesn’t even recognize me What do I gain by seeing him?
I’ve taken a loan to admit him in that center
What more can I do?
I thought the same way too
But my father is now missing
I’m hunting high and low for him
He’s missing
Good riddance Just let it be
How can you say this?
It’s his fate
What will you do finding that madcap?
Nurturing tonnes of love within
The only bond which appears to be a foe is a father
I paid a hefty price to get enlightened
I told you with good intentions not wanting you to be in my shoes
Our lifespan is really short
Your father has crossed ¾ that time frame
Visit him whenever you can
Just half an hour Try sitting with him
Then you’ll understand
I’m very sorry I hit you
Please understand what I’m trying to say
‘Hi, I’m Seenu’
‘Johnny likes cake’
‘I have never celebrated my birthday ever since my wife passed away’
‘I don’t know if I will be in a condition to do so next year’
‘Why are you getting sentimental? Cut the cake, da’
‘Seenu, do a good job’
‘Okay, doctor’
‘They are going to cut the cake’
‘Uncle, wait Make a wish and then cut’
'Okay'
'- What did you wish for? - Tell us'
'What will I wish?'
'My son Shiva should-'
'- What did you wish for? - Tell us'
'What will I wish?'
'My son Shiva should-'
I told you we can buy a small apartment in the city
You were so stubborn in wanting an independent house
The realtor who sold this plot claimed a school and mall were planned nearby
…conveniently vanished into thin air
I have to bear the fuel charges of the newspaper man, milkman who deliver
Now it has become a guest house for murderers to stay when they are bored
My only fear is if they tell all their thug-friends
And we have thugs from Rajasthan following their footsteps
It’s a namesake independent house
But where is the independence?
Will they go away if we offer them some money?
They don’t look that kind
Even your ‘sambar’ couldn’t chase them away!
I’m so terrified
What if they do something to me?
You have high hopes!
Grandpa, you shouldn’t color outside this line
It doesn’t even look like a horse now
Let him keep coloring Shall we play ‘Snakes & ladders’?
I misplaced the coins
No big deal
I’ll find a way
Wait, I’ll be back
‘Police officer Sabapathy who was missing has been murdered’
‘He was found dead in an abandoned tempo in a desolate suburb of Chennai’
‘The police department is now on a man hunt-‘
Where are you?
In a safe place, bro
Stay put there till the problem dies down
What did you do to those 2 men?
I’ll do it…at the right time
Are you getting married or what?
Is this what I get for having trusted you?
The issue has blown out of proportion
It’s all over the news How can you be so irresponsible?
You’re mistaken, bro
Both of them are not connected to this
Ranga, we can’t afford to take any risk
Tell me if you can’t do I’ll delegate someone else
No, bro I’ll do it
- Call me once you are done - Okay, bro
‘MISSING Govindharaj, age 60’
Sir, I’m calling from Thiruvanmaiyur Police station
You had complained about a missing person
We have found a body resembling the photo you gave
Can you come up to the mortuary and identify him?
Shiva
Shiva?
I’m up here, Archana
Shiva, what are you doing with the front door wide ope-
I called you
You didn’t pick my call
I got worried So I came to-
I can’t bear this, Archana
I have a 300 gm heart like everyone else
If it has to carry a load of 500 gm, what will I do?
My mom died of cancer
My dad has Alzheimer’s
What wrong did I do?
Why me?
I didn’t realize his value when I was with him
I haven’t even spoken to him properly
Not even called him ‘appa’ fondly
He will always ask me ‘Have you eaten?’
I’ve lost my temper so many times
Now I don’t even know if he is eating
He doesn’t even know to say he’s hungry
You are a doctor You would’ve seen many bodies
A man lying in a road accident A body preserved in a mortuary
If I am asked to identify if this man is my dad?
Height of cruelty, Archana
In this-
In this world
In this world only love is very important
No use pickling it inside
We should know to be demonstrative
I swear I don’t know
Shiva, please
I understand your trauma
But this is not the time You have to be strong
We have to search for him in many places tomorrow
We must search
But I have realized this
You are looking for a missing person
But I have lost a dear one and I’m searching for him
It’s alright, bro
This is no big deal
Hey! He’s wearing my t-shirt
He called me ‘akka’ and asked me affectionately
- So I gave it to him - Are you his sister?
What’s for lunch, akka?
Oil cake and fodder!
Your husband is very funny
Disgusting!
But if your father had a son I’m sure he would’ve been like him
His face looks like a burnt down hut
‘May you be blessed with 100 springs in 1 lifetime’
- Nothing serious, bro - Shiva, does it hurt too much?
I’ll give you a tablet after you’ve eaten
Hereafter I’ll be with you when you learn to cycle, son
Bro, is this man a mental case or is he pretending to be one?
Forgotten everything
He lost his way and somehow landed with us
I think so too
If he had borrowed money all over the place…
…his creditors will trace him come what may
But if he is the one who lent money and forgot
…not a single soul will hunt for him
- Show, bro - Enough
Just a little bit more I’m almost done, bro
Go and check who it is
Bro, police
Police, huh?!
I got a complaint I came here to inquire
I’ll handle it, sir
Like Guna sir said
And escape through the rear entry
Don’t hesitate, bro
Okay, sir I’ll handle it
How long will you take to open the door?
- What’s your problem? - Nothing, sir
I was in the loo What’s the problem, sir?
Day before yesterday, late at night your wife filed a complaint you’re missing
When I called back phone was switched off
I was patrolling this side So I thought I’ll look in
‘No one is at home’
‘My wife has gone shopping after dropping our son in school, sir’
My friend hosted a party That’s why I couldn’t pick your call
Are you brainless or what?
Will you call and disturb us for such trivial issues?
‘Do you think we are jobless?’
‘Why do you drag us into husband-wife squabbles?’
Sorry, sir
You said no one is at home What was that noise?
That’s an old fan I bought in OLX It creaks now and then, sir
‘Shiva…?’
‘Shiva’
Good you came I was the one who called
Thilaka is not well Has the ambulance arrived?
Who are you?
My father-in-law, sir
He’s mentally unsound
So when my wife goes out she usually locks him inside
Uncle, come Sit down and relax
Please come
Yov! Don’t you know it’s wrong to lock up an elderly person like this?
I was feeling a bit unwell I thought I’ll lie down
He might wander away leaving the door open, sir
Sorry, sir
We haven’t done anything unlawful
I am a good man at heart
Take a look
Except Arvind Swami we have all the ‘Swamy’ photos
My wife was a little impulsive
That’s all, sir
I don’t blame you
Nowadays there’s no ground rule for calling the police
Last week a drunk stood on the phone tower because his wife walked out
That too in his briefs, loose!
Then it might have come off!
I meant our ‘madcap’! Took us 3 hours to bring him down
Your wife didn’t know At least you could’ve called her
…informed her you’ll be late and you’re with friends, right?
Sir, I’m sure you’re worldly wise
Generally a wife never thinks high of her husband’s friends
How affectionate we are with our wife’s friends
They lack that equanimity
Okay, fine
There was a murder in this area If you have any suspicion, call-
Sir, I swear I won’t disturb you
I said call us
- Sorry, sir - Daft or what?
“This very night long ago”
I have travelled all over the world
I have stayed in all the 5 star hotels
But only in this hotel there’s no swimming pool
Mr Krishnan This isn’t a hotel
Care center
There isn’t any swimming pool here
What do you mean? Do you think I am an idiot?
I’ll go to consumer court
They are trying to con me
‘What do they take me for?’
Inspector called me He wants to meet us right now
- Why? - ‘Johnny’
- Johnny? - Maria, please
Doctor, where is my Johnny?
Johnny is not well So he’s resting
I need to see him now
I want to talk to him please I want to meet Johnny
- Doctor, please - Maria, you can talk to him
- No, this is not my Johnny - Please calm down
- I am Johnny - Don’t touch
Please, you go away No, I want my Johnny
You go…you go…you go
‘Maria…!’
I want my Johnny
I love him
Please move
No, he is not my Johnny
Maria, what are you doing?
I want my Johnny
Shiva, I’m coming back
I want my Johnny please
Hello, sir I’m Shiva
Mr Govindharaj’s son
Oh! Hello
Did you get any news about your father?
Not yet, sir
- We are searching day and night - I'm sure you’ll find him
I’ll also pray for him
Thank you, sir
I want to tell you something
I haven’t studied human behavior as much as I've delved into computer and software
But only when I meet someone like you I regain my faith in humanity
I learnt from you about unconditional love
This isn’t such a big feat, Shiva
She’s the one who has forgotten everything
I haven’t, hmm?
Archana, I saw the birthday video you sent me
But it was cut half way through
What did my dad wish?
He said, 'I want to find the right bride for my son when my memory is still intact'
He’ll keep harping I should get married
And keep sending me photos of prospective brides
Didn’t you like any of them?
How can I decide looking at a photo?
Archana, sorry about last night
I think I made you feel really uncomfortable
It’s okay
Generally I don’t get so drunk
But I hope you understand
What did you say, Shiva?
This…this world
Okay
This car
New car?
I need to go looking all around, right? So I borrowed my friend’s car
Shiva, 1 minute
Your dad drew this
When he was new here he said he would sketch me
Still incomplete
Archana, what’s happened to Mr Ramu
He was gasping for breath last night
We’ve admitted him in the hospital
But something surprising happened
His son came and hasn’t left his bedside
It’s like a miracle
I just can’t believe it
Good evening, sir
Hello, sir Please take a seat
Sit down, madam
What would you like to drink? Tea…coffee?
- We are fine, sir - Then juice it is
Hey! 2 glasses of cool juice
I've been getting calls from a minister and IAS officers from last evening
Regarding what, sir?
Everything to do with your father
Sir, I didn’t tell anyone
I don’t know anyone in that level
No…no, they are his old students
They are placed well in society now
They used their clout
Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp The buzz was instant all over the net
Infact it’s trending online today
That’s why I’ve asked all my men to patrol all the areas
Every single road
We’ll somehow find your father, sir
Hell-o Yes, sir!
Is that so, sir?
I’m dealing with it right now, sir
I’ll get my full force into this, sir
We’ll find him, sir
Yes, sir Okay, sir
Commissioner
I believe even he is your father’s old student
Oh! Quite possible
Actually the moment you complained
From that second onwards we are dealing only with your father’s case
I haven‘t gone home for the past 48 hours
My wife yelled at me But work is worship, right?
Duty is important, huh?
Thank you
- Thank you, sir - No mention
The reason I called you is
Suppose someone enquires about this case to you
…I’ll appreciate it if you tell them we are dealing with it diligently
Sure, sir
Thank you so much
By the way my name is Thangaraj
We’ll take leave then
I swear he'll bring the juice for you
It’s okay, sir Thanks
Okay
You can call me anytime, sir
Thank you, sir
2 juice cancelled, cool
My dad has forgotten everything But he lives in so many hearts!
Hello?
‘Sir, the man in the Missing poster is with me now’
Is that so?
Yes, sir
‘Yes, how much is your cash reward?'
Money isn’t a problem Where did you find him?
‘Bring 0,1 million and come to the venue I ask you to’
That’s okay, sir How is he now?
- ‘He is with me for the past 1 week’ - IDIOT!
Sir, did you call me? Thangaraj!
He’s missing for just 2 days If I get hold of you-
Trying to swindle a man who is traumatized
Do you have any compassion?
- Hello…hello? - Shiva, please
We’ve mentioned ‘cash reward’ This is bound to happen
Such fellows- Is he human at all?
I got a call like this yesterday He showed a lot of concern
Then he said, ‘You have a lovely voice You must look beautiful too’
- And asked me out for coffee - What did you reply?
‘Your voice is lousy You must be awful looking’
‘I am not interested' I said and asked him to hang up
Scumbags!
Shiva, please
You have a lovely voice You look beautiful too
Will you have a cup of coffee with me?
Shiva, all of us have a black dog and a white dog inside us
Love, compassion, kindness are virtues of the white dog
Lies, rage, robbery, revenge are vices of the black dog
These 2 dogs will always be competing and fighting inside us
Do you know which dog will win?
Tell me, grandpa Which dog will win?
Tell me, grandpa
He forgot
We can perform a simple temple wedding Then invite our guests for a get-together
He thinks you’re the bride
By all means, sir
If you let me know the date I’ll bring her myself
I can even play the trumpet
Will you stop it?
- Correct - Aiyo!
I haven’t gone to work for the past 3 days
I haven’t even asked leave of absence
If you give my phone I can report sick
You can’t call now Wait till bro nods an okay
You shut up, ungrateful oaf!
- Who is ungrateful? - You
You hit me on my head when I called the ambulance
Don’t trust him He will let you down
Don’t shoot off your mouth
- What the hell? - How dare you deride me
If you’re so grateful sit in a corner, wag your tail
‘You don’t know me’
You can't even scare a child
‘But you’re scared, right?’
I'm sparing you for my sister’s sake
When did my wife become your sister?
What is your father’s name? Your mother’s name?
Tell me, I say Tell me
What’s the issue now? You keep quiet
Don’t trust him, sir
He thrust a knife on my nec-
Akka, I think he’s a Hindi master!
That’s Math, you moron
When our house was being built
,,,dad sold mom's jewelry as we were short of cash
He was so worried That's why he painted her like this
Wow,,,it's a nice one
My dad din't draw this Someone else did
- Who? - His name is Shiva!
Really?
Only useful skill I learnt from my dad
When I was a kid
,,,I got so fed up of drawing on paper I didn't spare a single wall
My mom gave me one hard blow on my back
My dad said, 'why have you left this wall empty?'
Both of us painted this
My parents got into a world war after that!
But my dad kept quiet and retired to his room
Amma didn't give up
She told my dad
'I married you because you fell in love with me, I didn't love you'
I thought a volcano would erupt!
Then?
My dad coolly replied, '1 person's love is enough for a marriage to work'
'If both fall in love it will only lead to fights'
This is exactly how my amma laughed too!
When he was new at our center I used to talk a lot to him
He used to share a slice of his life with me
That too his love story
Wow! I would ask him to repeat it
Love story?
Yes, his love story
Oh!
What, Shiva?
I knew he fell in love but-
He has never told me his love story even once
I remember asking him once
To which he said
Tell me when you fall in love I'll tell you then
This was his reply
Oh!
Do you know how he'll begin his story every time I asked?
A man and a woman
When they look at each other with true love
At that very moment
God plants a seed for an entire generation
When you appa met your amma he was a final year student
Your mom had just joined, 1st year
My Thilaka was not a head turner
But in my eyes
She was Miss World!
She was very reserved by nature
And flash a special smile once in a while
Wow,,,interesting!
- Then? - I had to travel
,,,only to 2 km to reach my college
But she had to start from Guindy
12 km
So sad
I'll start early in the morning Go to Guindy, wait at the bus stop
I'll travel with her
Do you know where their bus-love progressed to the next level?
- Canteen, huh? - Wrong
Library
Naturally it would've been deserted
Your mom made a beeline to the library when she was free
I started reading books only because of her
The more I read
I was hopelessly in love
Hoping to talk to her atleast before I graduated
One day I went and stood in front of her
She looked up at me
Without blinking an eye
I froze like a statue made of snow
My love was reflected in her eyes too
Ap,,,appa has been so perseverant, huh?
I just can't believe it
By the way on tat day did he profess his love?
No, he couldn't muster up courage So he went back home
'Then I graduated'
'I joined as a post-grad student in the same college just for her'
3 years just whizzed past
Aiyaiyo!
My course was about to end
Can't delay it any longer
What should I do?
What?
Letter!
Letter,,,letter
Letter
Yes, I wrote a letter
- 4 pages - 4
I wrote 4 pages to her
- Where is Thilaka? - Where?
Thilaka?
In her aunt's house
She was staying with her mother's sister
I cycled straight to her house with the letter in my pocket
It was pouring cats and dogs
I went and stood there drenched to my skin
After a long, long time,,,
Thilaka came out
I walked up to her with the letter in my hand
In her,,,
I dropped the letter in her mail box
Then?
She read the letter
She was totally disappointed
- Why? - Why?
- Because
,,,After standing in the rain for so long
,,,his letter was wet with ink smudged on the paper
Aiyaiyo!
- Now villain entry - Who was that?
After that
Every day I'll cycle
To the road where she lived
I'll see her
She'll see me
Both of us never noticed her aunt was watching us
Sometime later
I went there one day
Her house was locked
I went 2 days continuously
But Thilaka wasn't there
Not knowing
Not knowing what to do I felt I had gone mad
Then?
Your friend
Friend
Her friend came to see me
She handed over,,,a letter
A letter Thilaka wrote to me
'I am going to my hometown'
She said her father was unwell
She signed it
Your Thilaka
Imagine my joy
Your Thilaka,,,!
I don't know how many times I read those 2 words
I couldn't wait any longer
I took a bus to her hometown
Went straight to her house
Only then I knew
They had tricked her and she was to marry someone else
My heart broke and my world just collapsed
I wept inconsolably and reached the bus stand
I was about to board the bus
I remembered the words 'Your Thilaka'
I felt I was making a grave blunder
If it is true love,,,
I decided I should fight for it till my last breath
I don't know from where I got that kind of courage
I walked into her house again
They beat me to a pulp
They dragged me but I went upto Thilaka and stood before her
Thilaka saw me
Thilaka!
'Will you marry me?' I asked her
Those were the 1st words I spoke to her
With tears streaming down her cheeks Thilaka came and held my hand
I held her hands tight and dragged her away from them
Your Thilaka
Then?
Doesn't matter, Shiva
Isn't this a beautiful love story?
Like strangers in a train who share the same compartment
And travel together
I stayed under the same roof and didn't really know my parents
I'm too ashamed to even think of it
All these days, I thought my dad led a rather boring life
But he has led quite an adventurous life
Thanks, Archana
Thanks to you, I found my dad in my heart again
I feel like seeing him atleast once more
'A man and woman,,,'
'When they look at each other with true love'
'At that very moment'
'God plants a seed for an entire generation'
It's getting late, see you
If you feel like drinking,,,
,,,make yourself another cup of coffee
- Ranga, is it over? - Not yet, bro
- Are you playing the fool? - Bro
There's a temple festival nearby
- The coast is not clear - Ranga
I liked your sense of gratitude and self confidence
Retrospect on your life 5 years ago and how I've nourished you
Bro, when have I disobeyed you?
Only that faith is making me call you
I wanted to tell you
That boy Kasi who's with you
Kill him too
- Bro, he is our boy - Do what I say Ranga!
We should leave no clues in a crime scene He disobeyed that rule
Our life is at stake if we spare him
He trusted me and came, bro
Wrong timing for sentiments, Ranga
If we have to be comfortably well off
,,,we must kill anyone who is an obstacle, got it?
Don't lose me by supporting a boy who walked in yesterday
Nothing of that sort, bro
Let me ask you one last time Can you do this or not?
Okay, bro I'll handle it
In you go!
Bro,,,?
Shiva, do you know which dog will win?
The dog which you feed and raise with love will win
[Holy chant]
'Uncle, wait'
'Make a wish and then cut'
'Okay'
'- What did you wish for? - Tell us'
'What will I wish?'
'My son Shiva should'
',,,get married before my memory fades'
'With a girl like Archana'
'Why 'like Archana'? Let's ask her'
'Uncle!'
'- Cut the cake' - Okay'
'Happy Birthday'
- Hello - I killed everyone, bro
Good, how did you dispose the bodies?
That is,,,my problem, bro
Job neatly done
Where are you?
I am,,,er-
- Near Orapakkam railway station - Stay there, be safe
I'll call you, after making some other arrangements
Go to Mumbai and stay till all the issues settle here
- I'll take care of all your needs - Okay, bro
Ranga has cleared the hurdles
So only Ranga is alive
Let's close his chapter too
Guna, whatever you told Ranga the same holds good here
This is not the time for sentiments
The police department is head deep involved in this case
That's why I'm insisting
Only if the killer is alive will a finger point to the man who ordered the killing
Brother, how could you do this to me?
Sir, you killed the hand that helped you
Will you eat?
[overlap of indistinct voices]
'I went to ensure you got medical aid'
'If you had let me go I would have'
'I am just a normal man'
'I haven't repaid my home loan'
'I didn't do anything wrong'
'Why did you do this to my family?'
'Shall I serve you sambar?'
Yaaay! I got 3
'Going up the ladder? Wait, I'll get you'
Shucks!
Rajappa
Let's go for a walk
God help me
Yes
- Hello - Madhavi, this is Kasi
Kasi,,,? Hello,,,?
Hello?
Shucks!
- Hello? - Madhavi, this is Kasi
Kasi, where did you disappear? No sign of you for 2 days
I'm here on an important task
Why ddin't you call me?
No, sweetheart My phone fell into a tub of water
Like you said I kept it in a bag of rice, dried-
Okay, where are you now?
I am in a house in Kolappakkam
Hello,,,hello?
Aiyo!
Badri, he hasn't killed anyone
'He bluffed to us'
He's in Kolapakkam now
You were right Badri
Ranga is playing games with us
Okay, I'll handle it
I won't be the only one to get caught
I'm telling you I'll handle it?
'Why get tense for no reason?'
If he calls you once more talk to him normally
Call me immediately
I'll go to Kolapakkam right away
Shiva, it's late We need to leave
1 minute, I'll come I need to send a mail
I've received a job offer from the US
I'm not taking it
Life is beautiful
'Life is beautiful'
'Hi,,,!'
'What are you looking at?'
'You are me'
'I don't know what state you'll be in when you watch this'
'I am not even sure if you'll get to watch this'
You are suffering from Alzheimer's disease
'You'll slowly forget everything'
'If you see this video by chance,,,'
'I am recording this so you'll know who you are'
'Your name is Govindarajan'
'M,Sc,, M,Phil'
'Professor in Mathematics'
'Your wife's name is Thilaka'
'You both fell in love and got married'
'She isn't alive now'
'She died of cancer'
'Your son's name is Shiva'
'Software engineer'
'These 2 people mean the world to you'
'You've been the perfect husband'
'And a great father'
'The ideal teacher as well'
'You've moulded good students for our society'
'Now,,,'
'Shiva is your world'
'Even if you forget everything in this world,,,'
'Shiva will never forget you'
'He will take good care of you till the very end'
'In a way, you are very lucky'
'So don't worry about anything'
'Shiva is with you'
'Shiva is your life'
'Life is beautiful'
Shiva
It's okay
Shiva
Don't cry, please
Cheers!
Ranga, give me a cigarette
Come on
Repeat
Ranga, that body in the van-
Did you stab and kill that body in the van?
You came to drink, do that
Why butt your nose in?
Actually whether I get high or not words overflow when I am drunk
Last week, in this same bar I spoke for an hour to a chap on GST
He didn’t utter a single word
Then he fixed his hearing aid and walked out
Hearing you for even 5 minutes is torture
Imagine 12 times that Poor fellow!
Okay, let’s not touch professional matters
Tell me about yourself
Your parents Are you married?
I was a little confused
I wanted to drink and so I called you
Don’t talk unnecessarily Just zip your lips and drink
You shouldn’t decide when your brain is fuzzy
- What is bothering you? - When to kill all of you!
My parents died when I was very young
I’ve reached this level with great difficulty
I wanted a family of mine and that’s why I fell in love
My son is my life, sir
He is my whole world
My family has no one except me to support them
Sir, if you’ve decided to kill
…then kill all 3 of us
Shall we go?
1 minute
I’ll buy a cigarette
1 packet cigarette
Yov! Have you seen this chap?
No, sir
What about you?
No
Sir, he is looking for you
Is he a cop?
Sir! We are checking all the vehicles regarding that murder case
Commissioner had also called me

Good night
What, bro?
Bro…!
Rascal! Where’s the phone?
Give me the phone
Didn’t I warn you not to talk to that wretched female?
Give it
I can hear him hitting Kasi Go and check what’s wrong
He hit the good Samaritan on his head, let him die
- Tell me - Sorry, bro
- Whom else did you talk to? - Don't hit, bro
‘Lord Muruga, with your glance grant protective assistance’
‘May Your ever vigilant spear remove my anxieties and fear’
‘Lord Muruga, with your glance grant protective assistance’
‘May Your ever vigilant spear remove my anxieties and fear’
'Save me,,,save me and protect me Lord Muruga, I am your devotee'
‘Lord Muruga, with your glance grant protective assistance’
'Save me'
We are leaving
Sir?
So many events occurred beyond my control
I think I’ve troubled you too much Please forgive me
It's okay
I usually sleep with a knife under my pillow
I could never sleep
But these 4 nights I slept peacefully without a pillow
See you
Where will you go, sir?
I am so jealous of you
You’re like a new born baby having blissfully forgotten everything
You came out of the blue and turned my life topsyturvy
I’ll take leave
Come
Get up
I’ve never fallen at anyone’s feet to be blessed, I just feel like it
Happy birthday, Shiva
The traffic is bad in Bombay Drive carefully please
Sir, what about him?
I don’t know where he came from
He doesn’t know either
Please take care of him if you can
See you
I'll take leave
Come
See you, akka Bye, uncle
- Yes? - I’m Archana’s mother
Hi, aunty
Don’t get down
I need to tell you something important
How can I help you?
We’ve seen a groom for Archana
We want to get her married soon
It doesn’t augur well if she’s with you at all odd hours
As much as your dad is important to you our daughter means the world to us
I hope you understand what I’m saying
Please stay away from her
Sir, we searched this place on that night thoroughly
You could’ve missed it in the dark
We may get a clue if we hunt in broad daylight
- You go and search - Okay, sir
Come
Take care of yourself Don’t wander around alone
Get down
If you go straight down this road you’ll reach the police station
Police station
Go inside
Take care
Sir, take a look at this
‘Who are you?’
'My father-in-law, sir'
'He’s mentally unsound'
I’m sub inspector from Kolapakkam
Yes, sir
Your patient Govindaraj
He has been missing and we have complained, sir
Missing?
Yes, sir, he went missing when he was out with his son
His son?
Doesn’t he have only 1 daughter?
No, sir He has just 1 son
‘His name is Shiva’
- Are you sure? - Of course, sir
What happened?
I’ll call you back
Okay, I’ll go immediately to Kolapakkam police station
Thanks
I don’t know the link between our case and this gentleman
But I know where he lives
Let’s go
Madhavi, he hit me and confiscated my phone
Aiyaiyo! Is that so?
I must somehow escape from his clutches, Madhavi
Ask him where he is now
Tell me where you are
I’ll ask sir to rescue you
We are in an old library enroute to Vandalur
You stay right there I’ll tell sir when he comes home
Aiyaiyo! Madhavi He’s coming
I’ll talk to you later
Hello…hello?
Somehow I suspect Guna
Why do you say so?
Guna’s big project has stopped half way
Sabapathy is the reason
Guna tried to pressurize Sabapathy But Sabapathy refused to budge
There’s a mole in our department who has a hand in this murder
That’s my suspicion, sir
What are you saying?
That van was seized by our department
That’s why I feel I’m right
Hello?
There’s an old library in this area it seems
We drove past it, sir
Turn the car
We had complained about a missing person named Govindaraj
Inspector called me
He has gone out
’He’s coming I’ll talk to you later’
Bro?
Before they come here let’s run away somewhere
I’m fed up of running
This isn’t the time to run and hide
It’s time to check mate
Okay, you go
- Bro? - You aren’t made for this
Go and find a decent job
Where will I go, bro? I can’t leave you
I don’t mind falling at Guna sir’s fee-
Bloody fool!
Guna asked me to kill you first
I am next in his list
Bro…?
Rascal! I bent myself backwards for him
I realized only when I stayed with a family these 3 days
I didn’t murder an individual
But some families en masse
You go now, they may land up anytime
Whatever happens I’ll be by your side, bro
Wait for an hour at the railway station nearby
If I don’t come you leave
I don’t want, bro
Take it
Take it, go
I’ll wait in the station Please come, bro
Okay, go now
Come without fail
Just go now
- Bro? - GO…!
Go
Wait here
I’ll be back
You wanted to kill me
Ramana, get the knife from him
Bro…bro?
Bro
What happened?
Bro
I tried my level best
I couldn’t chase the black dog away
That’s why I ki…killed it
Bro…you asked me to wait
Don't leave me all alone like this
I think my boss is in a meeting
He isn’t picking my call
I’ll call you as soon as he gets back
- You leave now - Okay, sir
Give me a cigarette
Chee!
‘Terrorizing murders in Chennai Police department stunned!!!’
I never thought it will end this way
I thought he’ll get married and settle down
Both are same, dear Forget it
What would have happened to that boy?
The one who called you ‘akka’? I have no idea
If he was dead his mug shot will be in the papers too
What's my lunch?
Oil cake and fodder!
Quiet mischief!
Shiva, buy half a litre milk for your mother in the evening
I’ll get you 1 whole litre
Not here

I’m hungry
I am hungry
I haven’t decided what to do with him
Do you mind him staying here with us?
Let him be, dear Poor thing
