Anyway, why would anyone observe crows?

Your phone is ringing

Good taste!

-Hey Sundar

Isn't your wife home?

Yeah. She is out on work.

One shouldn't stay home when
there's work elsewhere.

Attention. Stand at ease.
Attention.

-Good morning sir!
-Good morning.

-Sundar!
-What's the area kids?

Principal: Sundar!

You come here.

Sorry sir.

-How long have you been married?
-15 days sir.

The next 30 years also
your wife will be yours.

You please sleep well
and let her also sleep.

-Just don't sleep here.
-It wasn't because...

I know. Early in my marriage
I bent a little too hard as well!

Now I can't straighten my back even today.

First year your wife is sweet jaggery!

Second year she is masala
Too hot to handle!

Third year she is a hot chilly.
Can't chew. Can't gulp.

My wife made fish curry today.
Miss TT please have some.

What's this Miss TT!
Call me Telugu Teacher?

Don't get angry on a shortcut madam.
Have this tailpiece. Tastes good.

Don't like your shortcuts or tailpieces.
Just call me Telugu teacher.

-So Sundar...
-Sir?

What did your wife
prepare for you?

-Upma (Semolina Pudding) Sir!
-Hmm...

That's why you should
marry a girl who cooks.

Oh no madam. My wife
only made it specially.

-Taste's like your cooking.
-No it is not.

I had your lunches for so long now.
I could sense it. You made this.

That's ok. New groom is trying to
impress his wife with his cooking.

-Trying hard huh.
-That's alright Sundar.

When are you inviting us all to your home?

-You got married somewhere in a village.
-You promised a big party remember?

-Will take time to plan it.
-Exactly when?

Sunday we will all come to
your home with families.

Oh no sir. We will plan some other time.

-Won't you show us your wife?
-Of course I will...

Listen boy. I'm deciding this. Sunday fix.

I'll also see if your wife
is as beautiful as me.

-Rekha madam. Please you must understand
-No. No!

-How much will you pay?

Hmm... how much ever you say?

matter. Acting is my passion!

A real life wife. Hmm!

Will it be challenging?

Hmm...yes.

-Yeah?

One doubt.

You want me to act like your wife.
That's okay. But what about your wife?

Hello mister, I wont do it

Yes your wife.

-She...
-Yes she?

...she eloped?

♫ Ahaa... Ahaa... ♫

♫ Ahaa... Ahaa... ♫

♫ O starling... O starling. ♫

♫ Did the illusory black hole gobble you up? ♫

♫ Oh... the story that didn't even start
reached its climax too soon Rama. ♫

♫ The story of a man without
his wife wrote Lord Brahma. ♫

♫ Listen oh great poet Vema? ♫
♫ Why must he suffer this Karma? ♫

♫ What tragic turn his life has taken ♫

♫ With no life guard in seas ♫
♫ he is caught in a twister ♫

♫ And it twirls him around
the vortex of samsara ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Oh hapless soul ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ It's the dawn now ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Get started now ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Your acting ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ O Sundar ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ All your calculations ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Turned their tables ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Haven't they? ♫

♫ O Starling.. O Starling.. ♫

Hold this bag. I'll need
to use the bathroom.

How are you son?

Where's your daughter? It's not even 10
days since our the wedding. She eloped!

Son, our daughter is not like that.

She is like that. After our wedding
she didn't cook at least for one day.

Oh no. She did. One day she fixed me
a big lunch box. I was overjoyed.

Sundar! What's special today?

You tell me.

Oh wow Pulihora... Tiger Rice!

Dal Mango Dal

Love letter to the husband! I want to read
it yaar. Sundar wait. Stupid shy buzz kill.

Sundar I thought a lot. I don't think
I can be with you for life.

I have no patience to convince my parents.

And that's why I am
leaving with the man I love.

From now on my life is
mine and your life is yours.

Please don't search for me.
You carry on with your life.

Left the mobile you gave me on the table.
And the key in the shoe rack.

All the best. Bye. Meenakshi.

Sundar, share the thrill with us too man.

Why are you hiding it? Oh No.

Sundar... you think its a chocolate or what?

Meenakshi

Meenakshi

Meenakshi

Meenakshi

What do you have to say for
this? I can't take this anymore.

I open the door and the neighbor
keeps asking where's my wife?

That sicko concentrates
more on my family than his own.

Oh you are locking your home?
Why sir?

Your wife isn't home?
oh.

I walk down the stairs
and the woman below goes

Sundar how's your married life?

We just got married right.
It's going alright.

You must come home sometime?

I mean, with your wife of course.
Sure.

Even my apartment secretary...

-Hi Sundar
-Hi Sir!

We have apartment meeting on Sunday.
Bring along your wife too.

What will she do at the apartment meeting?
Bring her along. She'll meet everyone.

Not sure how long I'll keep
my face in this apartment.

Just be a little patient son.
Everything will get adjusted.

Get adjusted? How will that happen?
All my life I keep adjusting.

Do you even understand?

Beyond my stature, I bought this sofa and that big bed.

Uncle, you tell me. What will
I do alone with that big a bed!

And if she had a problem,
she should have told it before right!

How can she leave like that?
How can she leave?

-What's the boy saying?
-You put that hearing-aid on.

-Where is Meenakshi?
-Isn't she home?

-You didn't tell him yet?
-I will tell him. Just waiting for the right time.

Waiting for the right time to say what?
What happened?

-Your daughter eloped with someone!
-Eloped?

Madam Milk

♫ Oh this chaos gets deeper. ♫

♫ With every changing minute. ♫

♫ This king has everything except some luck ♫

♫ The lines of his palms ran haywire ♫

Dude say it.

-You remember Seshu from our village?
-That blabber mouth?

-His wife eloped!
-Oh she...

Ok. I'll see you later.

Hey wait. Come here.

You came all this way to say that?

-Some news about Meenakshi.
-News... when's the baby due?

-Meenakshi eloped!
-Uh!

♫ No soup but a stone ♫

♫ If someone hears, it's bye bye respect. ♫

Chicken Biryani made by my wife!

Oh Sundar Upma gone Biryani on.
Good improvement.

-Please have some.
-That's enough. Thank you.

I'm bored of eating home food.
Serve it fast. I love biryani.

More please. And some more please.

My wife cooked this!

Hmm. Tastes like Shah Ghouse Biryani

I could sense it.

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Oh hapless soul ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ It's the dawn now ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Get started now ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Your acting ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ O Sundar ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ All your calculations ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Turned their tables ♫

♫ Ahaa ♫
♫ Haven't they? ♫

♫ Oh starling... Oh my starling. ♫

Did the illusory black hole gobble you up?

Yeah tell me....

Hey your wife!
Yeah my wife only... tell me

I saw your wife man!

Where?

Sundar

Hey

Hey Abhi, where is she?

-Where is she?Where?
-She left!

What do you mean left?
Didn't you stop her?

I did.

Stop stop. Meenakshi.
It's me Abhi.

-Yeah. How are you doing?
-How am I doing?

How can you just leave Meenakshi?
He is searching madly for you.

Imagine what he's going through?
Do you even care?

Hello boss who are you?

Who are you schmuck to interfere in
our family matter. Just sit tight

Meenakshi please stay.

Please don't make a scene here.
I've got to go.

-Let's go.
-Meenakshi I called him. He's coming here.

-Just... I need to go.
-How can you just leave? Just how?

If you didn't like him you
should have told your family.

Or to us. You first get down. We'll talk.

You please get down. Ouch!

I wouldn't have minded if your
wife punched me. Not that schmuck.

But why is this happening to me?
What wrong did I do?

That's why you shouldn't marry a beautiful
girl. No way, we can protect her.

Hey! You told me the girl is charming.
Don't mind the dowry and just get married!

I thought she'll be good with you.
How can I know all this would happen?

Loser!

Just drink please.

the village talking.

She was apparently with one Bangaram.
And now he lives in Hyderabad.

I'll share his phone number
and address. See if that's the guy?

Yeah thanks. I'll check.

-Who was that?
-Meenakshi has a lover called Bangaram!

-Bangaram?
-Bangaram... (Gold)

Meenakshi loves this guy?
My Karma

-You are a fortunate man bro!
-Me?

Marrying Meenakshi isn't
an easy thing to do.

-Beer or whiskey?
-No thanks. Just tell me where's my wife.

-Hey get a beer?
-Yes sir.

-Where's my wife?
-How would I know where's your wife bro?

-What do you mean?
-You guys were in love right?

I was in love with her. That's true.

I even boasted to my friends
about proposing to her.

I even told her 'I love you'.

And so...

"Get lost you pig"
that's what she said.

Her one answer broke my
heart into thousand pieces.

If Meenakshi rejected you,
why does everyone see you as lovers?

Oh, I spread those rumors.

-What's all this man?
-I have one doubt though.

Why are you in this situation
of searching for your wife?

What can I say?

Few days after the wedding...

...she left me with a letter saying

she's going away with a
guy she really loves.

-I saw her with someone bro.
-Where?

-Not sure if he is her lover or a friend.
But definitely a body builder.

-My friend saw him too!
-I did too. Owner of Punjagutta FitMax gym.

Rocky.

-Rocky.
-Rocky.

-Rocky.
-Hmm. Fitmax.

-Rocky Fitmax!
-Punjagutta.

-Rocky Fitmax?
-Fitmax!

Hey Rocky? Tell me where's my wife.

Hey..

Yeow! Come fight with an equal now.
My friend's here. Go man.

-Hey shut up, we are here to talk right!
-Then ask go.

Where's Meenakshi?

-How do I know?
-Hey she was with you right!

That day she was. How will I
know who she is with today.

Shut up.

Don't talk shit about her?

I'll say whatever I want.
What will you do?

See I am not her to fight.

Tell me where's Meenakshi.
I need to talk to her.

You're searching for a wife who
eloped with someone else...

...what a loser!

Hey. You are the loser.
How do you even live with yourself?

Anyway, I'm busy. That

You just have to come to the TV showroom.

Hey, I said I'm busy. If it's
urgent find someone else.

How will I find someone else.
You are my wife!

-What do mean I am your wife?
-I mean you acted like my wife right!

Aha. If I keep doing this
someday I might totally become your wife.

It's just that my stuff is

street, what will people say?

And what will happen to the kids.

Now he says she is dead.

You will have to find the
truth about this sir.

-Didn't get there yet sir.

Sir. Come over. Please.

Sir look at this sir.

Hey move the refrigerator.

Call the forensics.

And you guys don't touch anything here.

Sir whoever I spoke to says
that his wife is here.

And we have blood stains here.
Definitely a fishy case sir.

Sir, see this sir.

This math teacher isn't
as innocent as he seems.

He murdered his wife.

File an FIR and arrest him urgently.

-Sit in the cell
-Please sir.

-You called me to talk and
you are throwing me in?

I'm innocent sir. Leave him sir.

Sir. Please listen to me. I'm innocent sir.

There's this guy Rocky.
We saw him with Meenakshi.

Please arrest him sir.
I suspect him sir.

-I suspect you.
-On what basis are you arresting him sir?

You should have some
evidence on him right?

Who the hell are you?

You seem stuck around this
guy like an attached bathroom!

-Friend Sir.
-What do you do?

-I'm an assistant director in film sir.
Hush. Sir is angry

-You work in movies?
-Yes sir.

Hey sit. Sit brother.

You think I can make it in movie?

Right now I can't trust my own judgment.

-Let him go sir. Please sir.
-Sir.

Please share the murder details
for the news coverage sir.

The girl's case is a mysterious death.

-Postmortem report says it's a head injury.
-Uh hmm.

In my primary investigation,
this guy says his wife eloped.

But in my detailed and
dramatic investigation,

Everyone at the apartment say
that the girl is at home!

-And we found blood
stains in his apartment.

What do you mean blood
marks in my flat sir?

You shut up. Yeah...

Hmm... we need to confirm
if the blood marks

belong to the girl. But I
suspect him primarily.

That's why I arrested him.
So this is the news item.

Hello director! Give
this story a nice title.

-The law is blind!
-One punch will leave you in a coma.

-Should I say one?
-Go ahead sir.

'Enter the SI Rangam'.
How's it?

She is no celebrity for
such a dramatic title!

Just a housewife.

Wife Murdered Husband Arrested.
That's the title.

Go please yourself.

-But my photograph should be very clear
-Sure sir.

Wife Murdered, Husband Arrested.

In the murder investigation of
a woman named Meenakshi

Her husband Chittilanka Sundar
has been arrested by the police.

Listen!

Some Meenakshi dies and
they arrest our Sundar.

-Who is this girl?
-She's some other Meenakshi.

-God, that's so unfair.
-Because there's no hell raiser.

-Give my bike keys.
-Where are you going now?

To the Police Station.

Sir why are you so furious?

-What can we do with the police?
-Shut up. You just watch me.

Come.

-Where is the SI?
-He's there sir.

Sir HM sir
Namaste Sir.

-This is injustice. Atrocious.
-What's atrocious?

Hey? Who are you?
Who gave you this job?

Are you a crony or what?

Do you even know who you are talking to?

-First you find out who you are talking to!
-Hey, who are you?

Hey Respect.

-Oh God!
-I'm a Government School Headmaster.

I'm a Gazetted Officer.
Two times received award from Governor.

-Aha...so what do you want?
-Justice.

-It seems the wolves are guarding the sheep pen.
-Sir.

You shut up. I'm speaking here right!

If citizens break the law,
they come to the police.

Where do we go if the cops break the law?

If our school student did
this, I'd have him rusticated

for bad conduct. What
should we do with you?

-What law did I break?
-You filed a wrong case.

You think there's no one to question?
Or that the society turned blind?

Hello, why aren't you speaking?
Thinking of an excuse are you?

What's the error in this case?
-Good question.

Some Meenakshi dies.
And you arrested this Sundar?

Won't you look into facts
before arresting someone?

What are those facts?

I will tell you

-Look. This is Sundar.
-Hmm.

And this is Sundar's wife Meenakshi.

-Then who is this?
-Huff.

Someone please get the guy's wedding album.

Yes Sir.

This is Sundar
This is his wife Meenakshi.

This is Sundar again.
This is his wife Meenakshi again.

So who is that?

Oh, there's some miscommunication here.

-I have to get the school bell ringing.
-You...

Yes you.
Sit.

What did you just say?

If someone at your school makes a
mistake you rusticate him right?

You know what I do if someone
makes a mistake in my station?

I get them into an encounter!

Came unnecessarily. Caught unnecessarily.
Every heard this saying?

-Who is this?
-Sir I'm social sir...argh Suresh sir

I'm a Social Studies teacher. He dragged me
even as I was warning him not to.

Go to school and tell them that
the Principal is sent on a holiday.

-Thank you sir. Thank you sir.
-Suresh where are you going?

If we both are here
what about the students?

I could sense it.

-Suresh...suresh...suresh!
-I could sense it.

Good morning sir.

-Sir he is dangerous sir.
-Come on boys keep going keep going.

We have a case on him in
our station only. You know it right.

Uh! Hi Sir.

Sir what did that Rocky say?

He was asking, which underwear
to wear when playing volleyball.

Call the girl who acted as
his wife to the station.

Yes Sir.

Namaste sir.

How are you?

-Sir
-Yes.

Someone called me threatening that they'll
arrest me if I don't come to the station.

-What's your name?
-Rekha

-It was me who called you.
-What did I do sir?

Come. I'll tell you. SI
sir wants to meet you.

Tell me what I did sir?

SI sir is waiting. Come on in.

Sir Sundar wife sir.

No not his wife. I just acted as his wife.

Come. Sit.

-So you are an actor?
-Yes sir.

What all movies you acted in?

I act in short films. I'm trying in movies.

You act well?

Uh huh... my fans tell me I that I do well.

Oh yeah! Do it.

-Suddenly...
-Madam...Madam -Do it.

-Please move.
-It's tough just like that.

-Do they pay you for acting?
-Yes they do sir.

In movies, when you act as
someone's wife, it's called acting.

If you act as someone's wife in real life.

You are Not an actor.

You call a girl to the police station
to talk to her like this?

I come from a small family, making
my ends meet through my short films.

But in my life no one ever
made such cheap comments.

They say a lot about you guy outside.
But never believe that they're like this.

I shouldn't have come.

-Hey you. I didn't permit you to leave.
Sit.

-Hey. Who are you threatening?
-What a disgusting being you are?

Have been putting up with you since I came.

Why should I care if you are a cop?

If you ever talk to me or
any other girl like this...

...I will have your bones broken.

I don't give a damn if you are a cop!
Do what you can?

Acting...is it alright sir?

You mean that feeling sad while
seated here, was also acting

Yeah!

-Sir. She seems to be a cold blooded actor!
- Noted.

Come. Sit.

You know Sundar well?

Not very well. But professionally a little.

How is he? Good or Bad?

-Good guy sir. A little innocent.
-You said you don't know him well.

-I mean can't we say by seeing?
-Oh!

Throw the files away.
She can say by just looking!

-I mean, I said what I felt.
-Okay.

-I'll be gone sir.
-OK.

Uh huh! Hair... you've grown it long.
What oil do you use?

I don't use anything sir. It's natural.

I'll be gone now sir.

You think oil is bad?

Hello.

Sir, I'm calling from Forensic Department.

The blood samples match with Meenakshi's
body. It is her blood only.

-I'll send the reports by evening.
-OK.

I'm not that type sir.
Please don't hit me sir.

Tell us why did you kill her. Now.

-I'm saying the truth sir.
-Hey. Bring him here.

-Get up. Stand...
-Now sit here.

Sir!

-This is unfair sir.
Why are you torturing me sir?

Why will I kill my wife sir?

You tell us why you killed her.
We'll stop this.

How can I kill her sir!

Sir I didn't kill her sir.
I'm innocent in this.

She left home sir.

With whom she left and
why, I really don't know sir.

Ok. Your wife eloped. I agree.

Show me one proof. That's enough.

-She wrote a letter before she left sir.
-Where's the letter?

-I swallowed it sir.
-Yeah?

Hit him. You think it is funny you schmuck.

Sir sir please don't hit me. I'm not lying.

Who do you think we are?
Tell us the truth.

-Sir is here.
-Sir please sir. Don't hit me sir.

Sit tight. And now tell us the truth.

Don't hit me more sir.

If you don't tells us the
truth, you will be no more.

Sir, I'm telling you the truth sir.
Don't hit me sir.

I really swallowed it sir.
Leave that aside...

I saw the wedding album.
You both look happy.

You liked the girl no?

-Yes sir.
-Then she?

She also sir.

How many days after the wedding
you returned to the city?

About eight days after sir.

-You were alright till then?
-Yes sir.

You were good till then.

What happened after you came back here?

-Good question sir.
-Answer him straight you loser!

I'll say sir. Sorry sir. I'll say...

Hey Sundar...

-Glad you guys returned.
-Yeah.

-Wish you both a happy married life.
-Thank you sir.

-This is Meenakshi. Hindolam.
-Hi.

-Namaste
-Oh Namaste

-Oh the light!
-Turn this way dear.

This is our bedroom.
It's new bed.

It's spring bed.

You also sit and feel it.

He joined the family club. What

-Sundar you gave it the HM? Go give him
-Not yet. Will do

-Hello?
-Son I'm Shastry from the village.

Yes Shastri sir!

Tonight you have auspicious
time for your first night.

-Oh is it? At what time?
-Exactly tonight 8.30 pm.

-Ok sir. Bye.
-God bless!

-Listen! Is she ready?
-Yes. Ready.

-Son, it's about time.
-Yeah yeah.

-Meenakshi!
-Uh?

-Switch off the lights.
-Oh!

Oh so what happened next?

-What happened later?
-Sir

After that I committed a grave mistake sir.

Oh lord. What sort of mistake?

Uh. Actually, I never moved
around with girls sir.

If they come closer, I get tensed up.

That night, not knowing what to say
I babbled dumb things.

What did you say?

Listen! You...
are you not a virgin?

Hey... why are you crying?

How can you, that too on our first night,
ask your wife if she is a virgin?

Oh terribly sorry.
I blabbered nervously.

There's no tension.
You said it purposefully.

Sorry. Please don't mind.

I'm totally okay, even
if you are not a virgin!

Don't touch me.

Oh God! How did you ask
her something like that!

Like I said sir I rambled
something in tension.

So, you kept fighting all that night?

She kept crying all night sir.

Then in the morning?

Son!

-The lunch box
-Yeah.

We'll leave in the evening son.
We have lots of work home.

-Ok!
-Son, tell her and go!

Meenakshi

Meenakshi!

I'm going to the school.

I called her many time to apologize!
She avoided all my calls.

When I asked my friend
for advice, he said take

home something she likes and
she will cool a little.

Yes. That's right. I do the same thing

whenever my wife is angry too! Oh Lord.

I did the same too!

Usually, newly weds go to honeymoons right?

-As if we are not fighting enough here.
-We have to go there to fight more?

What's your problem?

You think I really care
if you are virgin or not.

Sorry. I don't really
care even if you are not.

Oh wow. All hail the social revolutionary!

I said I wanted a job, not get married.
No one even cared.

Government Job. Get married. They
threatened me that won't speak if I didn't.

They ruined my life.

-Yes Dad.
-Is my daughter up too?

-I don't want to speak.

-Please, it won't be nice.
-Why it won't be nice.

I'm not in a mood and
I'm better off not speaking.

-Dad.
-Yes?

Meenakshi is in some work.
I'll have her give you a call later.

-Is it okay?
-Okay son, just don't forget.

Why won't you speak!

-Don't you have respect for the elders?
-Oh yeah you respect me a lot right?

No regard for father in law.
No respect for husband.

How did your parents raise you!

-Don't you dare speak about my parents.
-Your father is no less.

-Publicly he announces 10 lakhs as dowry.
-And he gives a big nothing!

Oh yeah, what about your dad? He commented.

on my way of speaking and everything else!

Heart patient why can't he sit in
a corner instead of digging up things?

-I hate to even look at him.
-Meenakshi.

So you hit her and then killed her?

I don't have the heart to hit anyone sir.

Just raised my hand in anger.

So you are a wife beater too huh!

That's that sir. After that we didn't
speak to each other for two days.

Two days later, Meenakshi cooked something
for me and packed a lunch box for me.

I knew you would cool down.

If we put two new fishes in this aquarium,
they initially fight a lot.

But after that they live happily.

We are no different from those fishes.

But in that lunchbox she left a letter
that she was going away.

I rushed home to check.
But she was already gone.

-You've got great story narration skills.
-You think this is a story?

You want me to reveal the truth?

You fell madly in love
with that short film girl.

Planned it really well
and murdered your wife.

Sir, how can you say that sir?

The postmortem report proves that
your wife was killed on February 10th.

You weren't in your school that day?
I inquired. Where were you?

-That day, I went to meet Bangaram.
-Who is he?

-Meenakshi's ex-lover sir.
-Where did you meet him?

At the Nine Bar.

Not all this sir. There's one guy
called Rocky. A Boxer.

He was seen with Meenakshi.
I suspect him a lot sir.

When we asked him, he beat us badly.

You must catch him sir. Please sir.

-No food for him now.
-Huh?

After another round in the evening,
the writer and actor inside him will die

and the real man will come out.

Sir. Sir. Please listen to me sir.

-Looks like he's innocent sir.
-Then get him a garland and fire a light!

Go to that Nine Bar, check the footage
and tell me if he was there that day.

-Yes sir.
-Don't give me unnecessary advice.

Come sir. This is all the footage we have.

-Sir.
-Yeah.

He seems to be telling the truth.
He was here in the bar till noon.

Like I said, he seems innocent.

OK. Get the footage and
come to the station.

Yes sir.

Hey. I still don't trust you fully.

So until the investigation is finished,
you've got to report to the station daily.

And without telling me,
you cannot leave town.

-Hello sister
-Brother, were the police rough with you?

-Nothing like that
-Any clue who killed her?

No clue. They're still investigating.

Can't bear with curious relatives!

-Does dad know?
-No.

He keeps asking about you.
It's tough keeping this secret.

Wait. I'll put him on.

-Hello dear.
-Dad tell me.

-Heard your phone broke.
-Yes dad. Just got it repaired.

-Listen son. I keep sensing something.
-I feel like I should come there.

-Just not yet dad.
I'll be there in few days.

Okay. Give the phone
to the daughter in law.

-Dad. Meenakshi's asleep.
-I 'll call you later. Alright?

Alright son.

-Hey, where's your dad?
-Dad.

What sir?

Did you see my wife coming home last week?

No sir.

You're always asleep drunk. Recollect well.

-I stay here only no sir.
-Madam didn't come here at all sir.

Last week? No Sundar.

-Not sure Sundar.
-I just returned home today.

No Sundar.

Please remember another time.

No Sundar. I'm sure I'd
know if she had come home.

Okay. Thank you.

February 10th. Monday.

You know, that day I made
my career's best music album.

Day long I was glued to my system.
I was in the zone that day.

It is memorable for me that way.
And for you...

I don't have a clue
if she came home that day sir.

How can her blood be under the fridge sir?

And I don't even know
if the blood belongs to her sir.

-Dad left?
-Yes sir.

Rangam Sir.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I know your dad quite well.

What do you do?

I look after dad's business!

Tell me everything that happened,
without falsifying anything.

There's nothing to lie here.

Me and Meenakshi, we were in love.

We were even thinking of getting married.

But dad said no.

I had asked Meenakshi for
some time to convince him.

She waited for long too.
But dad was never convinced.

And, without his approval
I couldn't do anything.

Meenakshi was under parents' pressure.
And so she got married.

After that we lost touch.

Few days after the wedding,
she called me out of the blue.

She was crying about
some problem with her husband.

I don't want to be here.

Does anyone speak that way?
I'm so confused.

He almost hit me too!

When the girl I love called and cried...

...I couldn't take it.
I just asked her to come with me.

-And then?
-Later...

Just tell her dude.
She's gone insane!

-Yes I'm going mad!
-So what's wrong now huh?

-You're telling me your wedding plans now?
-So what? That's for my dad.

-But, I need you!
-What do you mean?

See you're married. And
I'm going to get married.

All that's for the society.

But we love each other right. Huh?

And this will be a happy space.
We both can live in happily together.

So I'll be your mistress now?

Oh just tell her! She
simply doesn't get it!

-Meenakshi, don't over think this?
-Rocky, please don't interfere.

-For him I left my husband and family.
-Oh shut up about your sacrifices.

You came here because you
couldn't live with him!

-Life long I don't want to see your face.
-Meenakshi. Meenakshi.

Meenakshi that's not what I meant.
Meenakshi wait. Please.

-Meenakshi listen.
-Move.

Meenakshi I didn't mean it.
Meenakshi I'm sorry.

-Please. I'm sorry alright.
-I don't need your sorry.

-Meenakshi, where will you go?
-To some hell! Why do you care?

-Meenakshi stop. Please don't go.
-You don't deserve me.

Meenakshi wait. You are not
freaking going anywhere!

Just leave me!

-Hey Rocky just close the damn door.
-Aakaash. Uh huh!

Oh!

So Meenakshi died like that?

No no no. Why will I kill Meenakshi!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry. So sorry.

To love you is my life's biggest mistake.

Meenakshi please. Please! Meenakshi.

Meenakshi!.. Meenakshi!

Meenakshi!

If she had already left you,
where could she have gone?

Where else will she go sir? She must
have definitely gone to her husband's.?

When he saw the wife who
rejected him return...

...what if he did something
in a fit of rage.

-Hello!
-Hello. It's me Constable Jyothi.

-Yes.
-Go sit.

Tell me sir.

Listen carefully son.

Yeah.
Hey Silence!

SI sir is coming to arrest you.

Oh why? They let me go right?
Why again?

I don't have time to explain.

But they have a case against you
and that short film actress.

What case sir? There's
the bar CCTV footage.

You said nothing would happen right?

That's in the past.
It's not enough now.

Sir this is ridiculous sir

Police can do anything.
Trust me and hide somewhere.

Don't go to your home or a lodge.
Are you listening. Son?

Sir Yes!

And throw that damn phone away.
They can track you with it.

Oh God!

Hey Sundar, what happened?

A wise person acts, while a fool talks. Oh!

Where's Sundar?
He is in classroom sir.

Sir, we looked in all classrooms Sir.

He's nowhere to be seen sir!

Why did you come to me?
Hello why did you come?

Like I said, they are filing
a case on you as well.

If you are caught, I'm caught too.

You see, it's not your mistake.
It's actually mine!

You ask me to act as your wife and
I tell myself acting is my passion!

-You took money as well. Please remember!
-What?

Yes, I took the money. I'll return all your
money, will you get me out of the case?

Will you?

Please don't get flustered.
It will be alright!

Heroine, I wanted to be a heroine!

Everything is now over.

Nothing will happen.
It will all go back to normal.

Where are we going now?

-Yeah... I mean.
-You mean...?

I mean, I'm just thinking.

You got me into the auto rickshaw
and now thinking of where to go?

Shucks!

Huh! Where the hell did you go?
That Rangam came to school for you.

Sir we'll go in and talk.
Police is searching for us.

We had nothing to eat since noon uncle!

That's enough. Thank you.
Aunty you have sambar ?

-Yeah.
-A little of it please.

Where the hell did you find her?

Are you a woman?
Yes you?

He asks you to act as his
wife and you agree easily?

-Acting is my passion uncle.
-Oh shut up.

If you tell us your wife is gone and

you are confused, we'll
try to help you right?

And instead you bring someone
and tell us she is your wife?

I wasn't thinking right
when I did all of this sir.

You were there in the school
when they came right,

how did you suddenly escape?

I escaped realizing that they
were going to arrest me sir.

Yeah you escaped well.
It was me who...uh huh.

Hey don't laugh.

In 25 years of my service,
I never had such a day.

What went so wrong?

He milked my cheek in
front of all my students.

What else can go wrong?

-Not him, I have to blame these two here.
-Huff, just leave him to his Karma

Where will he go?

Some day I will find him.

That day I'm going to kill
him with my bare hands.

Who are you saying you will kill?

-Oh mosquitoes sir.
-Oh.

-We have to search your home.
-Searching sir? Absolutely.

Come back afresh in the morning,
too many mosquitoes today.

Just move.

There are four plates here?

-Who all stay in this home?
-Oh God.

Me, my husband and...
my son and daughter in law too.

Call them.

Call them.

-They must be sleeping.
-Then wake them up.

Oh God. Do something.

wake them up

Uh!

No.. They'll listen outside.

Won't be nice dear!

Please no. Stop it dear!

Ah! Come closer.
Muah!

Poor things, newly married.

-They got up in the middle of dinner?
-Hmm.

-Yes.
-This won't look good dear, I tell you.

Oh! Hmm!

Sir, they are in the middle of some work.
We'll come back tomorrow.

They can listen.
Ah!

Take care SI sir.

If you get to know anything about
that Sundar, tell us immediately.

Or else... facial.

-Ah! Ouch.
-Oh shut up!

How long will you be like this?
In fact what's all this?

No idea sir. I'm clueless too.

You suspect someone?

Why did she go and where
I have absolutely no idea sir.

-Sundar what's your wife's full name?
-Why?

Eh just say it.

-Meenakshi Atluri
-Ok.

-First you get a good lawyer.
-I told my friend Abhi. He's on it.

-There's one lawyer I
know, I'll talk to him.

OK sir.

Hey look at this.

Someone called Shirisha recently
tagged her on Facebook post.

Shirisha is her friend.

The post says 'At my home with Meenakshi'

That means your wife was
at her home recently right?

She posted a picture on Sunday.

I went her home that day.

If she was with her,
why did she lie to me?

When I came the other day,
Meenakshi was in your home right?

Why did you lie to me? Tell me.

Why did you lie?

After the argument with Aakaash
Meenakshi didn't know what to do.

She couldn't come to you.
Nor could she go to her parents.

With nowhere to go, she called me crying.

I asked her to come to my home.

-How long will you cry?
-My life's screwed.

How will I face my parents now!

You know about Aakaash right.
And you still went to him?

The person I'm married to,
asks me if I'm a virgin!

The day he gets to know about Aakaash,
he'll torture me lifelong.

-I really got scared!
-So you get scared...

...and run to that loser Aakaash
because he calls you?

This is life Meenakshi.
You are married now.

Someone tied thaali (sacred
thread) around your neck.

You are not that old girl now.
To leave behind everything easily.

I don't know why I keep finding these guys.

You found a decent guy.

You know how people are elsewhere?

If a bride is not a virgin,
they ask for more dowry!

There are those who blackmail
the bride's parents.

Bloody he tied the thali right.
He should accept me right.

He did right?

Didn't you tell me he realized
his mistake and repeatedly apologized?

You think there are husbands
who says sorrys and beg for forgiveness?

Look who it is.

Who is it? Who?

-Who the hell is it?
-Sundar

Hey, go talk to him. Everything
will set back to normal.

No No. Please don't tell him I'm here.
Please.

-Listen to me and talk to him.
-No.

If you tell him I'm here
I swear I'm going to die.

-Hi. I'm Meenakshi's husband.
-Yes of course. Please come in.

If she didn't like me
why did she get married?

I'm a newly wed. Wherever I go,
people inquire about my wife.

I'm not sure what to tell them?
Anything I say, I lose respect .

If I have to change my habits,
or the way I speak

I can do it for her.
But she has to say right.

In the beginning, Meenakshi asked me a
question. What's the meaning of marriage?

Then I didn't know. But now
I'm beginning to get it.

Marriage is acceptance.

No two people are similar in life.

But if two people can find common grounds
and common joys, I'm sure it'll be good.

That's what I've come
to realize marriage is.

I'm not angry on her
because she said no to me.

I'm just repulsed by myself.

I just wanted to meet her
and tell her what she means to me.

Whenever I think about her, I watch
that wedding video. I find myself crying.

She said she loves someone and is gone.

But husband's is love too isn't it?

Few people fall in love before marriage.
I just fell in love after marriage.

But truth is that I love her.

Why all this now?

You are her friend. Could you inquire
a little and help me find her please?

Meenakshi was cyring,
long after you were gone.

Unnecessarily I ruined his life!

He kept begging me. But
I wasn't just ready to listen to him.

I couldn't understand him.

So now what do you think has happened?
You got clarity right. Go to him.

You think he will accept
me now after all this.

Absolutely.

-I mean I would have
definitely accepted her.

Who else was I doing all this for?

She knew you'd accept her too.

That's why, the very next day
she started back home.

Really she came to my home?

She came back for me. To my home...

...and she died in my home?

♫ A cloud of a billion hopes
that plucked my heart strings ♫

♫ A momentary reverie of a
thousand radiant colors ♫

♫ Tell me why such a rush, how unfair it is ♫

♫ Come back again oh my
friend Left and changed my life ♫

♫ Come back again, come back
again My world has turned dark ♫

♫ Won't you show me, won't you show me ♫
♫ The light of your heart ♫

♫ Won't you come back, won't you come back ♫

♫ Come back again oh friend

Sir. Sir.
SIR

What are you doing here?
It's me sir. Agent from Pushpak.

Sir, why did you say that madam won't come.
I met her, she said she's ready to come.

-You met Meenakshi?
-Yeah!

Where?

-Madam. You recognize me?
-Hmm... yeah.

-I'm agent Sai, from Pushpak travels.
-Yeah.

-How are you?
-I'm good Madam.

What madam, why aren't you going
to honeymoon after booking?

Sir now wants to go there
with his boyfriend.

I'm telling you no madam,
you'll enjoy the trip.

Oh We'll definitely go. I'll be home soon.
I'll confirm after talking to him.

-Brother how much is this?
-250 Madam.

-Give me this one.
-Okay madam.

-Nice selection.
-He likes fishes.

-Oh a gift for sir is it? I told you no
madam, you both are made for each other.

Sir like you said, madam left her
friend's home, came here directly

and bought a fish for you.

-What happened brother?
-Why is Sundar so angry? Sundar!

-Hey what is this?
-It's mine brother.

-Is it yours? Is it?
-I found it brother.

-Sundar stop. Don't hit him.

-What do you mean you found it.
-Yes brother, I found it.

-What did you do with Meenakshi.
-Sundar Wait. Please.

Where did you find it.

That night I found it here
in the lift brother. Really!

-Stop lying. What do you mean night?
-Yes brother. I found it that night.

-She came at noon that day.
-Sundar...

-...that entire day, there was no power.
It was back only later that night.

The fish must have remained
inside the lift all day long.

-What about the generator then?
-We had no fuel.

-So we didn't switch on the
generator at all that day.

Yes brother.

The very next day she started back home.

February 10th. Monday.

You know, that day I made
my career's best music album.

Day long I was glued to my system.
I was in the zone that day.

That entire day, there was no power.
It was back only later that night.

Day long I was glued to my system.
I was in the zone that day.

-No one's home
-What?

Uh huh. No one's home is a novel.
A thriller novel.

I had given to Sundar. I need it now.

Sundar isn't home.

-I know, but it is urgent.
Can you please return it.

Okay.

Oh wait, don't close the door.
I mean I can recognize it.

We can save some time.
It must be on that shelf. Please see.

Uh, perhaps he must have left it in the
bedroom reading it.

You want to check there?

If you find it, please bring it to into
my flat. I'll be there. Thank you.

-Huh!
-Oh no you are scaring me.

As if you're not interested
and I'm forcing you!

-Come on!
-You get the hell out of here.

Hush. No I've ensured no one saw me coming.
I even latched the door.

-What do you mean no one saw you coming?
-Oh is it?

You went in someone's car and
you've got nothing going with him right?

You thought no one saw you?
Or that we don't understands?

I didn't tell any of this to your husband.
That's why you're acting innocent.

Should I say it? Should I
tell your husband? Should I?

I don't mean that you should
stick to your husband

Or that you shouldn't
enjoy your life you know.

You must enjoy. In fact a lot.

But when you're in an apartment like this
you must enjoy with friendly neighbors

Not with some random strangers outside.

Please.

Please you're imagining things.
I'm not that type.

-Alright.

I have come back to be
with my husband happily.

Of course you must.
I'm not stopping you.

-Be happy with your husband too
-Aah!

-Help!
-Shush.

Ouch!
Help. Help. Help.

Leave me.

Help..

Wait..

Meenakshi. Hey.

What Sundar?

What?

Why did you kill her?

What?

-Why did you kill her?
-Uh huh!

What do you mean I killed?
You're mistaken.

I've been your neighbor for such a
long time. Don't you know about me?

Actually, I must tell you something...

Why did you kill her. Say it? Why?
Why did you kill Meenakshi?

Why did you kill her?

-Brother No. Sundar wait.
-Listen to us. Hold him.

-Sundar wait.
-You leave me. Catch him.

What wrong did she do against you?

We thought you all should know the facts
of this case. That's why this press meet.

Victim Meenakshi, returned home
from her village after a week's stay.

At that time, the husband wasn't home.

Accused Hindolam stays alone
in the opposite apartment.

Never married. A failed musician.
Has a small crime record in the past.

He attempted rape on Meenakshi.

She tried to escape and died.

Head injury. Spot dead.

Accused panicked.

And in a state of confusion, he
planned to dispose off the dead body.

Finger prints and other evidences.
He removed them all!

So how did you catch him sir?

-Every criminal makes a mistake.
That becomes our clue.

Victim Meenaksh bought a fish
as a gift for her husband.

But she forgot that in the lift.
That was my clue.

With that small clue, I
solved the entire case.

What I'm saying is,
criminals stay among us.

They seem like normal people.
You must be very careful with them.

Especially women.

If you ever need any help,
please meet your SI Rangam...

Life's lessons aren't taught
in any school or a university.

I'm a Math Teacher right?

I always believed that if calculation is
done well, every problem has a solution.

But for few questions
there are simply no answers.

Will we remain stuck where we are...

..or can we move forward with hope
is in our hands.

And so even though it took time,
I feel I have taken the right decision.

And even in marriage, these expectations,
and calculations just don't work.

Just we both have to accept each other.

You can say what you're thinking

Um...!

I was wondering...

..you posted this photo
in the matrimony site...

Uh huh.

Now you're with beard and all.
Devdas look huh?

Uh...nothing like that.
Just a Tirupati vow.

Oh okay.

If you don't like I'll remove it.
No. That's alright.

I've told you everything about me.
Now you tell me.

-In your opinion, what's marriage?
-Hmm...

Uh huh... Marriage is...

Marriage is...
