'Megamalai'

Having separate connections
for both the houses is such a pain

Till now whatever I have said is
the 1st limitation of my invention

This machine capable of
magical wonders...

...has a 2nd constraint

What I mean is...

...its limit

An extremely crucial one

Let me tell you abou-

It will wor-

Say 'hello' to your father



He doesn't want
you and me, right?

This laboratory is
his whole world, right?

Tell your father

Priya

Is this a playground?

How many times have I told you
not to bring the baby here?

This is full of chemicals

Imagine if even a drop
falls on you or our baby?

I didn't topple anything

All your son's fault...!

He has come here to give a gift
to his dad with so much love!

And you're scolding us

Priya, watch your ste-

'Let us not give your father
even a single gift'



Shall we keep all the gifts?

Priya...?

You mentioned a gift

And then you walked off in a huff

What was the gift?

Happy Birthday

You're such an acclaimed scientist!

You are not even aware
you should give a return gift!

Gift?!

Return gift...?

Which means...

...something is brewing
in your mind!

What do you want me to give?

Will you do it for me?

Have I ever said
'no' to you?

Tell me

Don't continue
this experiment

Let go of it

You are so deeply
involved in this research

I am so worried it will
only lead to some disaster

Priya...!

This invention of mine
is 99% most unlikely to work

But...

...if at all

...if at all it works-

Even if whatever you are
scared about does happen...

...I know I can fix it

Whom am I doing all this for?

For you

And for our son

What's my little prince
complaining about now?

He is hungry
Wants milk it seems

- Hold him for 5 minutes
- Where are you off to?

I'll be right back

- Priya...hey!
- I'll be back

I'm neck deep in work-

Give me just 5 minutes

Sweetypie

No matter what anyone says
you are your mother's pet

Even when we admit you in school...

...don't take your father's surname

I will make sure
you take your mother's name

Are you okay with that?

You will lie down
here for a while

Lie down comfortably

Rest a bit

(baby crying)

Oh...o...o
Why...why?

Don't cry, sweetypie

Mother is coming

I'll ask your mother to sing for you

Your favourite song, okay?

(birds chirping)

(water flowing)

1 minute...patience, dear

(baby fretting)

There you go

(baby's squeal of delight)

He is all smiles listening
to his amma's voice

Mamma's boy!

"Our little bundle of love
You're born to rule, sleep now"

"Hush a bye baby
Sleep listening to this lullaby"

"Our cherished flower scented sweet
You're born to conquer, now sleep"

"Rest, my little one so dear
Sleep, my treasure trove of laughter"

"In the crystal depths of your eyes
all your sorrows will subside"

"With the wave of your hand fancy
my world functions in normalcy"

"In your every tiny heartbeat
my whole life revolves complete"

"Hush, my baby
Listen to my lullaby"

"Our little bundle of love
You're born to rule, sleep now"

"For every person born on earth
there is a purpose to unearth"

"You are my expressive essence
You are my entire sustenance"

"My penance paid rich dividends
I am blessed with you, my little prince"

"Sleep, my pearl crescent of joy
Sweet dreams, my precious boy"

"Sleep, my pearl crescent of joy
Sweet dreams, my precious boy"

"Hush, my baby
Listen to my lullaby"

"Our little bundle of love
You're born to rule, sleep now"

"Our little bundle of love
You're born to rule, sleep now"

Good afternoon, sir

Has he started?

I was with him
all morning, sir

He should be
done by now

He was supposed to
start by 4:00 p.m

I heard sounds
from the lab

He must have started

Sir, I've been working
all these years for you

You said you would
reward me suitably

Priya...!

Priya, it's working

Yes...!

I did it

My watch is working!

Priya

Priya?

Priya?

Priya

In the same womb 36 weeks
we lay beside; cheek to cheek

Within few minutes gap
we came out to our mother's lap

Identical in identity
Twins, you and me

What was the difference in time
between you and me being born?

3 minutes

Just

180 seconds

Those 180 seconds
have moulded us

Opposites of each other
180 degrees apart

That's time...!

Look how it has
played in our lives

Who can analyse time
better than you, right?

Doctor

Sethuraman

You

You are the perfect son

A celebrated scientist

The one who made
Phoenix Watch Company

...India's leading enterprise

Model husband
Most loving father

Etc...etc

Etcetera!

But I, on the other hand

I am

A brilliant villain

Happy birthday,
my dear twin brother

Where is the birthday gift
for your brother?

I have come

For my watch

Athreya, just don't hurt Priya

Happy birthday

...to me!

Sethu

Look at me

Priya

Search every nook and corner

Hurry up

I'm sure he must have
hidden the watch here

Where is our baby?

He is...

...in the secret room

Aiyo! Priya

What happened?

The watch

It is with him

- Mithra
- Sir?

It must be in some
watch case, Mithra

Please don't tell him
where the watch is

If he finds out where it is
he will kill our baby

(baby crying)

Silence!

Sir

We have looked everywhere, sir

The watch is not here

It must be here

I heard their baby crying

I want that baby

- Go, search
- Okay, sir

Where the hell is it?

Don't...!

Don't hurt her

Priya

Athreya

She will suffocate

She can't breathe

Athreya, don't hurt her

You are mistaken

My experiment
is not yet done

Give me 5 minutes

I'll make it work
and hand it over to you

I swear, trust me

'Priya...!'

'Priya, it's working, Priya!'

'I did it'

'My watch is working!'

Think I'm deaf?

Did you think I'm stone deaf?

Poor Priya!
She may die

What do you mean
'She may die'?

Let go

Please...don't kill her

I'm begging you

Priya

Don't cry

Please don't cry

Stop!

Over there

(baby crying)

(muffled crying)

(Train whistling)

Hurry

You'll be fine

NO

Go

Move

Faaaast!

(baby crying)

I'm sorry, my son

(baby crying)

GO

Your beloved brother

...did not have the heart
to leave his twin all alone

For the last time

Where is the watch?

What you didn't tell me

Your son just did!

You are a very lucky man

Your birth day and
the day you died

...are one and the same

May you live long!

(gunshot)

Son, so far we heard
numbers in reverse

Now let us listen to
letters in reverse, okay?

'26 Years later'

Maaaa?

Coming

- Hurry up
- I am coming

I have other customers to visit

Wait, don't hassle me

The walls here are
covered with clocks

But completely oblivious
to the value of time

Come soon, ma

I have other places to go

As if people are waiting
spreading a red carpet for you!

What's wrong with him?

He didn't switch off the light

When he gets the bill
he will get enlightened!

Aiyo! I could have
got electrocuted

Why hasn't he fixed
this switch as yet?

I've been telling him
like a broken record!

Why are you so impatient?

Can't you see I'm coming?

As if you will trade
something out of this world?

You'll throw away
your old junk

I have boxes filled
with gold and diamond

Why don't you take them?

Fat hopes!

Finished breakfast?

Of course!

What is this box?

Hey! How did this get here?

Wait, let me take a look

What do you use this for?

I pound ginger and garlic
I hammer nails with it

Prop up our chair
with a broken leg

We even swat mosquitoes with it

I can't sell this

This box is as old as my son!

What is inside this box?

Who knows?

I tried opening it
for so many years

I have no clue
what is inside

Just unable to prise it open

Give it to me
I can open it

As if you can do what
we couldn't all these years

Give it here

Maaaa?

What?

Give me the box
we use to break stuff

Heard that?

Didn't I tell you
how useful it is!

Now you know its value

He was trying to
walk away with it

Do you know its value?

Watch me now

Hey...!

Haven't I told you not
to show your face here?

Anna, it was your mother
who called me to-

Ma, you have too much
time on your hands

Thanks to this chap, you are
trading all our vessels for plastic

You are hell bent on
throwing away old stuff

One day you'll be
the only old stuff remaining

And he will trade you
for a plastic bucket!

Mother, of late your activities
are becoming questionable

- Hey!
- Huh?

Clear off!

Hey!

Haven't I told you not to spit
your gum all over the place?

It sticks to my slippers like glue

Go, wretched fellow!

Get out

Why did you go out
without drinking coffee?

- Eat breakfast
- What's for lunch?

It's been ages since I tasted
your delicious fish curry

Okay...okay

How shameless can you get?

Can shamelessness
satisfy hungry stomachs?

Ma, where is that
wooden prop-box?

Saravana has it

Hey!

What?

Slide it over

Here you go

Enjoy

Why are you still here?

No, anna

I was hoping I could taste
your mother's fish curry

Oh yes! I am here to cook
your favorite dishes 24x7

But do I have a daughter-in-law
to cook a single meal for me?

Did you hear me?

Loud and clear!

To tick your wish list I have
a long line of to-be brides waiting

Look at her, sir

Such a beautiful girl

But how tragic
she cannot talk

- Poor soul!
- You mean this girl?

Is this girl born dumb?

She opens her mouth
you can see doomsday!

She is the granddaughter
of that elderly gentleman

She is off to Chennai
to study agriculture

Why are all of them
into sign language?

They treated one of their
family members too harsh

She walked out of
the house many years ago

That was on a Friday

Repenting their rude behavior...

...and not let their tongue run
in the words they speak hereafter

...every Friday from
6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m

...they strictly follow
this vow of silence

6'o clock

It's 6'o clock now

- Don't talk to strangers, dear
- Make sure your phone is charged

- Don't forget to eat well
- Call us every day

First get inside
and close the door

Bye, Sathya
Go inside

Grandpa

(fire alarm announcement)

Mithraaaaaa!

Doctor

Is it true
what I heard?

It's a miracle, Mithran

Waking up from coma
after 26 years is a miracle

But below the waist,
he is completely paralyzed

But what's amazing is...

...his brain function
is absolutely normal

Mithran?

But we have a problem

Mithraaaa!

Why are you staring at me?

Who are you!?

Where is Mithran?

It's me, sir

Mithra?

What has happened to you?

I've grown old, sir

What-

Which year is this?

Two thou-

2016...?

Get me a mirror

Not now, sir

You've just regain-

Mithraaaa

Didn't you hear me?

Bring it to me

'May you live long'

Everyone wants to
live long and enjoy life

But no one...

...wants to live long
when they are old and grey

Look at me

I have aged without
having lived, Mithra

I cannot live
this kind of life

Those who were scared of me
will now be oozing with self pity

I went after a machine to have
Time in the palm of my hands

In the blink of an eye

I have lost 26 years
of my precious life

I want to get back
all that I lost

Mobility, my youth, everything

Doctor

Take him to whichever
corner of the world

Spare no expense

But cure him

I've been treating him
for 16 years till date

If I could do so, wouldn't
I have told you by now?

I don't want excuses

Give me a solution

I want the cure

There's only one way I know

Go back in time
26 years ago

Prevent him from being
involved in that accident

In other words, it's impossible

Sir

Don't worry about anything

Mithra

Did you listen carefully
to what the doctor said?

He doesn't know it is possible
to go back 26 years in time

But you and I know

Where is that watch?

'The house and lab
are still in my custody'

- Mithra
- Sir?

'Good afternoon'

'The time now is 4:42 p.m'

'I am Dr Sethuraman'

'One among the many prestigious
watch manufacturing companies in India'

'...is our Phoenix Watch Company'

'We have manufactured
different kinds of watches'

'Now at a very basic level'

'What is a watch?'

'A device that shows the time'

'That is all'

'And as you all know...'

'...time cannot be
controlled by mankind'

'But what if we are
able to control it?'

'Project'

'24'

'Priya'

'Is this a playground?'

'How many times have I told you
not to bring the baby here?'

Mithra

Make this lab
the way it used to be!

We can use this manual and
create the watch ourselves

Right...let's go

Hear me out

Youngsters nowadays
just can't wait to get married

The son I gave birth to
shows total disinterest

Boys! Auto is here

Sort all the items
and weigh them

On your toes

You were saying something

What more can I say?

How much longer
will I talk to myself?

Why?

Don't I need a daughter-in-law
at least to fight with at home?

I've spread the word in my circles
for a good match for your son

Okay

A lovely daughter-in-law will
soon land up at our doorstep

Let me tell you
what I feel

Mani's time has come

Everything will work
like well oiled clockwork

Every time I talk to you
I feel calm and rejuvenated

I'm glad

The right girl for my son

You are in charge

That's it

Don't even worry about it

A wonderful girl will find
her way into your home!

Be strong

Mani

Mani, where are you?

Saravana...?

I'm coming...coming

What is this?

Why do you leave
the shop unattended?

I was here all this while
I went to attend to my customer

Where's Mani?

Only 1/2 an hour ago he said
he would be back in 5 minutes

He should be here
in another hour

Someone will loot us threadbare

Only then you will learn a lesson

Hey! How long since I asked you to get
an electrician to repair that switch?

I'll attend to it

I'm get electrocuted and then
it will be too late to regret

What is this unique key?

Wonder which lock it fits!

Nair

Hello, Nair

Your wall clock is ready

I told Saravana to give it to you

He gave me the clock
But he forgot the winding key

Typical!
Silly fool

Just a minute

It must be here somewhere

Where can it be?

Whose key is-

Mani, my key

Here it is

Sorry, Nair

I made you come back

I gave the money
to Saravana

Oh! Look at that!

A watch

No wonder

What will you expect to find
in a watch mechanic's shop?

So the mystery of the prop-box
has been solved despite the build up!

It never even struck me

Looks quite new

Project

24...?

That's strange!

24-hours dial

'Mani!...?'

Hahn

'Are you back?'

I'm back, ma

'How many days I've been
asking you to change that switch?'

'Do you intend to or not?'

Shock-

It isn't a big deal, ma

I'll look into it

My dear mother

I managed to open that bo-

'Hey! Mani'

'I heard a loud crash
What happened?'

Nothing, ma

Nothing

Hey! Mani

Where did you disappear?

You said you'll be
back in 5 minutes

Your mother yelled at me

Okay, listen

Khader from the tyre shop
collected his watch

He paid Rs 150

Nair from the tea shop

I gave him his wall clock

You forgot the winding key...?

That doesn't matter

He paid Rs 250

Then...listen

Remember that ugly green
ladies' watch you had?

A soooper glam-doll walked in

I palmed it off onto her

I gave her a 10% discount

- 10 %?
- Doesn't matter

Rs 800 for that watch

All this adds
up to Rs 1200

For all my effort put into this

I'll just help myself to Rs 100

Hey!

100 bucks

100 is too much for you

I'll tell my mother

Better not step in here

'Hey! Mani'

'I heard a loud crash
What happened?'

'Hey!'

'Can you hear me or not?'

'I heard a loud noise'

'Nothing'

'Nothing, ma'

'It took you so long
to say this, huh?'

'Where did you disappear?'

'You said you'll be
back in 5 minutes'

'Your mother yelled at me'

'Okay, listen'

'Khader from the tyre shop
collected his watch'

'He paid Rs 150'

'Nair from the tea shop'

'I gave him his wall clock'

'He paid Rs 250'

'Then...listen'

'Remember that ugly green
ladies' watch you had?'

'A soooper glam-doll walked in'

'I palmed it off onto her'

'I gave her a 10% discount'

'Rs 800 for that watch'

'All this adds
up to Rs 1200'

'For all my effort put into this'

'I'll just help myself to Rs 100'

See you

Keep your watches clean

'Stay right there
I'll be back'

'Hey! Mani'

'I heard a loud crash
What happened?'

My respected mother!

Nothing at all, mathaji

'Hey! Mani'

'Where did you disappear?'

'You said you'll be
back in 5 minutes'

'Your mother yelled at me'

'Okay, list-'

Shut up

Did Khader from
the tyre shop come?

Yes

- Did you give him his watch?
- Yes

You took Rs 150?

Yes

Count...count and
keep it on my table

Did Nair from
the tea shop come?

- Gave him the wall clock?
- Yes

Forgot the winding key, right?

Yes

Took 250 from him, eh?

Yes

Keep it on the table

Remember that ugly green
ladies' watch in the showcase?

Yes

Did a soooper
glam-doll walk in?

Yes

She flashed her close-up smile?

Yes

Did you give her
a 10% discount?

Bloody idiot! You sold
that watch for Rs 800?

Yes

Keep that 800 on the table

Now claiming you put in
so much effort...

...you'll take a kickback from me?

Am I right?

Hogger of the first order!

Help yourself and go

How did you get it
picture perfect right?

Off you go, man

Go and attend to your work

Mani

Hey! Just get out I say

I'm leaving right now

'Stay right there
I'll be back'

Hello!

Yes?

Watch your step

Sorry, sir
Thank you!

'Instead of looking ahead
I kept turning back'

'Instead of looking ahead
I kept turning back'

I kept turning back-

Instead of looking ahead

Oh gawd!

Damn

What a sudden downpour

All the clothes I washed
will be dripping wet now

When you want rain
it will be so stubborn!

And when you don't want rain
it will have a mind of its own!

All my hard work
is down the drain

Sir

Sir...sir

1 minute

Could you tell me
the time in your watch?

10:30

'Come at 5'o clock, sharp'

What are you doing?
My shirt is getting drenched

Water the plants
Not me, imbecile

'Mani'

'I'll just step out
for a while, son'

A groom is coming over to see
Kamakshi's daughter Sudha

I'll be back in half an hour

Don't leave the shop
unattended till then

Alright, take this with you

What is this for?

What if it rains today?

April sun shining bright

How will it rain today?

No April showers, just take it
to protect yourself from the sun

I've gone out
in the sun so often

Why this sudden spurt
of care and concern?

Mathaji!

Catastrophes, apostrophes
with bed coffee and atrocities

You are oblivious to!

Listen to your
one and only son

Take the umbrella with you

I'm already worried about
finding the perfect match for you

You're blabbering
more than usual!

Looks like my little faith
will also disappear

Why are you like this?

Take it with you

You take care of yourself, son

Bye

Don't leave the umbrella behind

HMT watch!

Model S 76

This is a rare collector's item

Of course

This is my grandfather's gift to me

It's his favorite, you know

He won't part with it to anyone

I am his granddaughter

When I moved here to study
he gave it to me with all his love

Without a wee bit of compassion
you broke such a sentimental watch

He gave it to me
with so much love

Favorite watch

Now I can't even use it

Listen

Your grandpa's watch
will be as good as new

I'm a watch mechanic

This is child's play for me

Keep chatting
I'll get it done in a jiffy

Right in front of your eyes,
I'll take out my tool kit

And watch what I do to
your grandpa's watch!

'Excuse me'

'My watch is broken
I need to fix it fast'

'- When will that shop open?
- Anytime now'

Bloody criminal!

'Hey Mani, customer is
waiting, open your shop'

'Please wait for 2 minutes'

Just wait by the side here
He'll come down now

(loud thud)

Aiyo!

Please wait right there

2 steps back

Can't even enjoy
my bun in peace!

What sort of life is this?

Shucks!

Hey! Stinko

Where is that glam-doll?

The one who was just-

Blabbermouth!

That HMT watch, model S76
with the broken glass

Aren't you here to
ask me to fix the glass?

How do you know
my watch broke?

And I am here
to get it fixed?

I'm a watch mechanic, madam

These are very trivial things for me

I can hear it if any watch breaks
anywhere in this area Yeah!

Please come!

Enter the Dragon!

Please come

Go, go! Go work hard!!

Come in!

Carry on, carry on

Watch, please

Thanks

What?

Oh I see!

Oh ok!

Is it?

Really now!

Apparently, this watch has a
lot of sentimental value!

Yes! But how did you know?

I'm a watch mechanic, madam!

'This is child's play for me'

This is your grandfather's
favorite watch

Yes, it is

He has never parted
with it to anyone

When you moved here to study,...

...he gave it to you
with so much love

Am I right?

Yes, but how do you know that?

I'm a watch mechanic, madam

All this is child's play to me
As simple as a guppy!

Generally speaking, I have a high
general knowledge quotient!

The watch isn't too damaged

Only the glass needs changing

If we could meet at around 2:00 p.m
the watch should be ready by then

(phone ringing)

2:00 p.m sharp

Yes, ma?

Why are you so quiet?

Oh! Today's Friday?

Are you angry with me?

Cough twice
if you're mad at me

Have I forgotten something?

Oh God!

Grandpa's birthday

Is he next to you?
Give him the phone

Sorry

Happy birthday

Forgive my 'ghajini' memory!

Aren't you my most
precious grandpa!

Cough twice
if you've forgiven me

Good

I'll call at 6:01 sharp
this evening

You had better pick up

Happy happy birthday

What happened?

All okay?

My grandpa's birthday

I clean forgot

I didn't look at the date

When will the watch be ready?

I told you, at 2:00 p.m sharp
Ready with a new glass

At 4:00 p.m I need to go
some place important

Will it be ready
at 2:00 p.m sharp?

You won't send someone
to collect it, will you?

You will come, right?

Yes, I'll be here at 2:00

Thank you so much

Sir, careful

Sir, let our researchers
continue at their own pace

I have an idea

Best Design

New Talent

Rolex

Fancy dress?

Doesn't matter
I can add this too

Neat

Hi, please come
I was waiting for you

Are you going out?

Why?

No

You've changed your dress
That's why I wondered

Oh! You noticed

And you said you were waiting

I'm a watch mechanic
All this is child's play-

Please, sit down

It's so dusty

Lot of things on the table

So many awards!

Are they all yours?

I'm a watch mechanic, right?

These things are
run of the mill stuff

- Excuse me?
- Yeah!

I'm in a little bit
rushed for time

Is the watch ready?

How much is it?

You don't have to pay

Minor repair

That isn't fair
Just tell me how much!

No-

Okay, if you insist

Let me bill it

What is your good name?

What?

I need

I need your name
for my bill

Your name?

Sathya

Sathya?

Such a sweet name

Okay, your mobile number?

What for?

No, casually, for my
general knowledge

In case of emergency,
for customer care

Can you tell me how much?
I really have to go now

Two hundred and...

...forty seven rupees

I would appreciate
if you gave me exact cash

Hello

Hello!

What the hell are you doing?

Aiyo!

Just casually-

Casual about what?

What the hell is so casual
about ripping my tyre apart?

It is normal for
watch mechanics to-

What are you blabbering?

'I would appreciate
if you gave me exact cash'

What happened to you?

What happened to you?

Watch mechanic, ma'am

This is child's play for me!

- Are you okay?
- Yeah!

This is just breathing exercise

Your watch

Exact cash

Thanks

1 second

Your watch

This isn't my watch

My watch doesn't show the date

No...no
This is your watch

This morning when you were
speaking to your grandpa...

...you said you forgot
it was his birthday

So I took the liberty of
adding the date for you

I thought you would
find it useful

Hope you like it

Thanks a ton

It's okay

I'm a watch mechanic

All this is child's play for me

Okay, thanks

Okay

Bye

Oh God!

Why...what happened?

I have a flat tyre

It was fine when I got here

This is a very dirty,
polluted area

When I say chlorophyll and haemoglobin in
the air is high no one takes me seriously

This looks like someone
took a green screwdriver

And purposely ripped
your tyre apart

Why are the insurance agents
and environmentalists nonfunctional?

But how do you know all this?

Generally-

Didn't I tell you?

'Generally speaking, I have a high
general knowledge quotient!'

You don't worry
I'll drop you in my bike

No, it's okay

I'll take a 3 wheeler

After all the trouble I took
to puncture your tyre!

I meant your tyre is flat
And how troublesome!

It happened outside my shop
I'll feel better only if I drop you

Why should you
go out of your way?

I wouldn't have it
any other way!

This is no big deal
I can drop you

Yeah?

How do I tell you this?

What's the problem?

I need to attend
an important event

That's why I borrowed
my friend's scooty

I brought a change of dress
with me to change at the hostel

- But it's late now
- My mother is at home

We live just upstairs
You can change there

Treat my home as yours

- Come in
- Thank you so much

Please come

Like your own house

Thanks

'She stepped in with
her best foot forward!'

Yes, please come

Ma...?

- Ma...ma
- What?

A customer needs to
change her dress here

Are you running
a garment store?

To change clothes here?

Can't a watch mechanic
do even this favor?

- What's wrong with you?
- She has a function to attend

One lady helping another
I told her you are here

Please come
She's here already

This is my mathaji

I mean, my mother

What's your name, child?

Sathya

Really!?

My name is Sathyabama too

We share a name!

Remember I told you
it's a sweet name?

Now you know why

Actually, ma, my name
is also Sathyabama

The girls at college
will tease me

So I shortened it to Sathya

It suits you
Come inside, dear

Come in

My sari is stained

What do I do now?

It was fine when I packed it

Ma, what is this?

Bad enough a girl's tyre
is not safe around here

Now even her sari isn't safe

What are these anti-corruption
movements doing?

Can I take a look?

Spilt all over

Looks like it is
a well planned ploy

Looks like ink has been
splashed artistically!

What a wretched fellow
with a disgusting mindset

Now what do I do?

Poor child!

Ma, tell her

I'm a watch mechanic, you know

All this is child's play for me

Wait a minute

Ma, come inside

Where to?

Come in, I say

Quick! Give me your sari

How can I give my sari to that girl?

Who asked for your sari?

That pink sari you bought
in Saravana Stores for Rs 8000

- You were ironing it this morning
- In your dreams!

I bought that sari with
so much love for your wife-to-be

- I can't part with that
- Ma, don't say 'no'

You don't realize the feelings of
the son you carried for 10 months!

She is the one!

Really?

Don't pull a fast one

My God! She's so beautiful!

Did you find out about her family?

Don't frighten her away
with your over enthusiasm!

Step by step, we shall
proceed slowly

Okay...okay
- Give me that sari

I'll get it, you go

You're a darling!

Does it look good?

You look terrible

Why?

Then what?

You know very well
you look gorgeous

Then why fish for compliments?

All these beautiful women
need a constant endorsement!

You saw yourself
in the mirror, right?

I really want to know
why even ask?

Just...

...casually!

'Generally speaking, I have a high
general knowledge quotient!'

She forgot her 'bindi'

'Flowers?'

What happened?

Exercise

My breathing exercise!

What is happening here?

I told you today is
my grandpa's birthday

Back home it will be
celebrated as a special day

So I thought
I would come here

That's a lovely thought

Thanks

My pleasure

Don't

You look beautiful

'Bindi' and jasmine
are perfect accessories

Really...!
Let us...go

'Stop blabbering, Mani'

Welcome, please come

- Hello, ma'am
- Hello

- This is Mani
- Good evening

The food you ordered
has been delivered

Siva, chair please

Please sit

Thanks

(Cricket commentary)

Cheer up, children

Come and see the goodies
ma'am has brought for you

Come on
Get up

Let's all eat

India should have won

At least for these kids
India should have won

Just imagine how
they would have rejoiced!

The kids would have
cheered and danced

Our ear drums would
have been flat out!

(cricket commentary)

Hello?

Yes, ma?

What?

I'll be right there

My mother on the phone

Customer
I'll be there right now

I'll be there
in 5 minutes, ma

Okay...okay, ma

(loud cheering)

(loud cheering)

Eat well, children

Don't waste anything

Would you like some more?

Dhoni did it

The sixer just flew into the sky
I was so scared he would catch it

Hi

I heard we won

As usual, Dhoni hit
a sixer off the last ball

The kids must have been
so happy and excited

They must have cheered
ripping your ear drums off

You should have seen them

But tell me this
Where did you disappear?

I had to go-

My mother called to say
a customer was waiting

I went to see him

The customer was at
Chepauk stadium, huh?

Chepauk...stadium?

I saw you
On TV!

You were going home
Why were you at the stadium?

You must have mistaken
someone else for me

Don't be a bluff master

Same shirt
Same trousers

Tell me the truth now

You saw me
on TV for sure?

I am 100% sure

Gone case!

What I was hoping won't happen...

...has happened

What are you saying?

This is a disease affecting
pretty, young girls

Especially popular among
girls in your age group

It's called

Imaginoromansophilia

Imagino-what?

Supposing you-

If you love someone and
I don't mean the normal kind

If your love is strong and deep

if you love him truly, madly, deeply

Then whomever you see
will be like his clone!

It's called

Imaginoromansophilia

What is this nonsense?

I'm in love with you?
And that too, strong love

You're getting angry instead
of me losing my temper!

You just said
you saw me on TV

Next it'll be a hoarding,
And here, there, everywhere

You'll then say I fixed
the flowers and 'bindi' on you?

- Look! This is too much
- Why?

How will I fall in love with you?

I saw you for 10 minutes in
the morning and 1 hour now

- How can I fall in love so soon?
- Yeah exactly

I should be saying all this

You're the one who claims
you saw me everywhere

It's called Imaginoromansophilia

You've got it really bad

I'll prove it to you

You don't believe me, right?

I'll prove it

Do you see that caterer?

Can you see him?

Look at him
You'll think it's me

Please look at the dragon

Hi

Did you see me?

He looked like my clone?

Aiyaiyo!

It has spread

Don't worry
I'll be there for you

Let's check one last time
for our own confirmation

Okay?

Look at that gardener

Hi

What happened?

I'm a watch mechanic

Breathing exercise!

The gardener didn't
resemble me, did he?

He looked ditto you!

Whaaat?

That gardener resembled me?

Don't you think this is too much?

I'm basically a simple
watch mechanic

I may help out for
the welfare of our nation

But if girls fall flat
for such reasons!

I understand

You are different

You love me sincerely
Truly, madly, deeply

No, I don't

I don't blame you

It isn't your fault
Don't blame yourself

But...

...basically, I am
a watch mechanic

I prefer to marry a girl
my mother selects

And love her
till death do us part!

Whatever you feel,
tell my mother directly

But you do love me

...deeply, truly,
honest to God

And very sincere

Please don't forget that

It's a kind request

See you

Bye

But

'Today is August 15th'

'Not just our city, the entire nation
is celebrating Independence Day'

'They have organized
various programs'

'Call and tell us exactly what
Independence Day means to you'

'Husband endorsed
his wife's secret lover!'

Yuck!

And this hits the headlines!

Subramani

Mani, wake up

Get up, Mani

- Don't bug me
- Wake up

- Let me sleep some more
- Get up

What?

Aren't you my childhood friend?

- Yes, I am
- We are inseparable?

All these years as a watch mechanic,
have you ever helped me?

- No
- Not once, right?

Read this

'Golden opportunity
Prize money 5 crores'

They have promised
50 million for this watch

5 crores, imagine!

Pay close attention
to what I'm saying

How many heads will I tonsure
to earn this kind of amount?

Mani, somehow make
a duplicate of this watch

I'm sure we can get
at least 50,000 for it

I'll keep just 40,000
and give you 10,000

There's something
called 'hard work'!

But please don't say 'no'

- Yes?
- Okay

True to your name
you're such a gem!

'This has been with me
for so many years'

'But only now I realized
how unique it is'

'How is Phoenix company
aware of its existence?'

'If this company is offering
50 million for this watch...

'...then they are also aware of
the time travel power of this watch'

'...then they are also aware of
the time travel power of this watch'

'How are they linked
to this rare watch?'

'Then...?'

'How are they connected to me?'

'Who are they?'

Mani, did you
underestimate a salon?

It's like a school

You broaden your mind
internationally there

We make our clients read newspapers
and they share news generously

Do any of your customers
read the newspaper?

When I get the 50 million in my hands...

...I will have gold scissors
and silver blades in my salon

Don't you worry, Mani

I'll take care of everythi-

Wretched fellows!

When did they start
reading the newspaper?

All of them have duplicated
the watch to grab the prize money

Mani, my childhood friend

Will your watch
pass muster?

Will we get anything at all?

Stand in queue
I'll be right back

Goodness gracious!

Yes, sir
Your name and address?

Well, my name is Mani

Okay
Sit here

Managing Director- Mithran

Chairman - Athreya

I can't believe it, sir

So many people-

Mithra

Let's talk inside

What is it, sir?

You wanted to tell me
something urgent

Mithra

We have got it!

What we were searching
high and low all this while...

...has come in search of us

Token # 144

'Token # 144'

All the watches we've got
so far are duplicates

I checked them myself

How can you be sure
this one is original?

This is also a duplicate

But the maker of this watch...

...has the original with him

In the paper advertisement...

...we had given only
the front picture of the watch

All of them out there
who duplicated it...

...have created
only the front dial

But

Look at this

He is the only one who has
duplicated the original

How else will he know the words
'Project 24' engraved at the back?

Replay the entire footage of

Token # 144

I want to see him

Mithra

Play the live feed

I want to see what he's doing now

Mithra

Something fishy

What do you mean, sir?

Look carefully, Mithra

He has no idea
what's happening here

Bring him to the conference room

And wait for my instructions

Excuse me, sir

The person you wanted to meet

Hello

You are Mr...?

Sara-

- Mani
- Congratulations

You've won the competition

Your watch has been selected

The prize money
is all yours

Aiyo!

Sir, what is your name?

Mithran

You aren't Mithran

You are my lucky mascot-man!

Don't go anywhere

Sir, I won't move an inch

I'll be right here

Mani, you are truly a genius

I can't believe we just won 50 million!

Sir

Go to the conference room again

Thrash that duplicate

Ask him where the original is!

Okay, sir

What about the cash, sir?
Are they counting it?

Please don't hit me

Tell me, sir

Bring him in front of the camera

Call your accomplice

Call him

Mani

I can't bear the pain

It really hurts, Mani

I can't take it any longer

Where are you?

Mani

Come soon

Aiyo! I can't take-

I can't take this any longer

Call him loudly

Mani...!

For 26 years I was
vegetating in the same spot

I was wondering why
I came out of that state

You are the answer
standing before me

Your father snatched my youth
and passed it on to you

Are you wondering who I am?

Go

Heaven's gates are open for you

Go and meet your father there

Ask him

Your mother will also welcome you

Ask her too

When you ask them
focus on their eyes

The fear in their eyes will tell you

Who Athreya is!

"Ayushman bhava"

"May you have without strife
a long and healthy life"

"May you live long
Healthy and strong"

Ayushman Bhava!

Did you see his lifeline?

It stretches a mile long!

Such a tragedy to die so young

- Mithra
- Sir?

Remember the hologram?

To charge the watch...

...the wearer of the watch must pass
electric current through his body

Even in death he is useful

Mithra

I'll travel 26 years
into the past now

History, achievements, glory,
challenges met in this world...

...shall surrender under my feet!

Come here

You touch the watch too

I want you too along with
the lost memories of all these years

Come

We shall time-travel together

Project

Twenty four

Mithra

Sir?

Sir

I can't believe it, sir

I was right next to you

And now I'm in my house!

'Mithra...?'

Sir

That watch

I swear-

'Mithraaa!'

Sir, what happened!?

He defeated us

Sethuraman has won

Why do you think
he named it 'Project 24'?

This watch can only take us
back in time for 24 hours

26 years

It cannot take us to even
yesterday or tomorrow!

What do we do now, sir?

To fix this properly

There is only 1 person in the world

Mani

Sethuraman's son

But we killed him, sir

Only now we test
his long lifeline!

Look at the date

Note the time now

We've come back
to the same day

Our Independence Day
has dawned again!

We haven't killed him as yet

He's at home
fast as sleep

2 points to keep in mind

How did he even
find out about us?

The advertisement

He came after he saw it

He will come

He must not see it

As of now, he knows
nothing about us

That advertisement shouldn't be
published in any paper tomorrow

2nd point to note

When he wakes up...

...the watch should
be on his wrist

Otherwise he will suspect
something is amiss

'Today is August 15th'

'Not just our city, the entire nation
is celebrating Independence Day'

'They have organized
various programs'

'Husband endrosed
his wife's secret lover!'

Which is the freebie?

Either one can
make me happy

Watch?

On this hand?

How is it on this hand?

Mithra

Sir

I did what you asked me to

I hope he didn't see you

No, sir

If he saw you...

...then all our efforts
will go down the drain

I know

I'm sure he didn't see me

But I saw him

On his wrist was
the watch you invented

I looked at it closely

It's working

But the real shocking-surprise is...

...he is a carbon copy of you

Heard that, Priya?

Our son

Resembles me

Like a carbon copy

Let him resemble me
in appearance

But I sincerely pray...his life...

...should be nothing like mine

And that is why...

...even though
I know he is here

I have kept myself
away from him

But a father's heart
aches to hug him, Priya

I wanted to check
if he was okay, just once

So I had sent Mithran

He is healthy and happy it seems...

...and surrounded by good people

As his parents...

...what more can we ask for?

How, sir?

If I fixed the watch
on the wrong hand...

...how did you guess right
he would follow me here?

If he is Sethuraman's son...

...I am Sethuraman's elder brother!

This is quite a huge task

Do you think he can do it?

Only he can do it

Not having seen his father
or known his father's profession

...he grew up as a bright lad

But now

Look at the profession
he has chosen for himself

He is a watch mechanic

Sethuraman's blood
runs in his veins

He will definitely
do the impossible!

If we simply ask him
to tweak the watch

Or threaten him

Will he do it for us?

I shall go

I shall enter his life
as his long lost father

I'll tell him about his mother

And make him yearn
to see her again

I'll tell him the cruel story of
how 'Athreya' destroyed his family

Then he will do it for 'his father'!

You saw how emotional he was
seeing his mother's photo

For his biological mother

He will do it for her

He will do it
to cure 'his father'

I'll make him do it!

Mithra

Any fool can use the watch
while it is on his hand

Without even wearing the watch
watch how I get my work done!

I can't believe it

My son has suddenly
become enlightened

He has got up as early as
6 in the morning!

Must thank the good spirits!

I don't want to jinx it

Son?

What's wrong?

Mani...?

What happened?
Why are your eyes red?

What happened?

Ma-

I'm not dying to know
who these people are

I'm asking because it pains me
to know I may not be your son

Who are we, ma?

This is your father

As you grew up...

...I realised this
looking at your face

He thrust you into my arms
and changed my life forever

You asked who we are

Let me rewind
to my past

Our family is well respected
in our village

My father, brother,
sister-in-law

Very close knit family

I was the apple
of everyone's eyes

My father believed
girls should also be educated

And contribute to our society

So he sent me to
a nearby city to study

One day I got a letter
from my father

He had found a suitable
groom for me

And asked me to
come back at once

'This journey would change
my life's path forever'

'I didn't know then'

I saw your father, hurt all over,
carrying you as a baby in his arms

'He gave you safely
into my arms'

'I have promised my wife
our son will not be harmed'

'But I am not in a position
to uphold my vow'

'You should save my son'

'He said this and
he rushed out'

'I never saw him again'

My father came to
the station to receive me

Along with my brother, sis-in-law,
the groom's family members

And all the kith and kin
we ever knew

A real big crowd

When they were
all waiting for me...

...I alighted with
a baby in my arms

Everyone was shocked
including my father

People jumped to conclusions

If a girl is sent out of town
to study before she is married...

...this is how she will come back

Their comments were
below the belt

When I recall their harsh words
even now I feel heavy hearted

Everyone at home fought with me

It was almost like world war 3!

'Will our villagers digest this
even if we believe you?' they asked

'Will the groom to-be
accept this baby?'

'Will his family agree?' they asked

I told my father

'Father, a promise should never
be broken, come what may'

'You brought me up
to follow this strictly'

'I gave this baby's father my word
I would take care of him forever'

This is what I told my father

These were the last words
I spoke to him till date

I carried you to my room

You cried the whole night
wanting to be nursed

I couldn't bear your pain
and I wept too

Finally I decided

Without becoming a mother
I nursed you myself

That is when I realised
the value of motherhood

I forgot I was a daughter

I decided to be your mother

I did not want any problem
to arise because of my son

So I left the house
I was born in

From that day onwards...

...you are the centre of
my entire universe

Let me confess now

Like you did to
your biological mother...

...you did not kick
in my womb

But for 26 years, I have
carried you in my heart!

I am your mother

Whatever anyone may say
I am your mother

Let them say what they want

I am your real mother

Amma

Don't cry, son

Look at me

Take me to your father

I have to tell him

I promised you I would
take care of your son

I must tell him
I've kept my word

Take me to him

'Mother...father'

I lost them before knowing
the meaning of those words

That isn't a big deal

Because ever since I can remember...

...you have been my mother,
father, my everything

But you...

...lived for 20 years
with your parents

You were brought up
with such love and care

You gave it all up for me

You raised me all by yourself

Who can be more important
to me than you, ma?

Forget the people
I never really had

But I must reunite you
with your family

That is my priority

Mathaji

Your activities have been
fishy right from the start

Silly fellow!

Sister-in-law

'Friday'

Father?

Father

How are you, dear?

Mani

Your grandson

Hey!

Come here

In 1 day you took
your mother away from us

But to bring her back...

...it took you so long, huh?

Why are you standing there?

Give your grandpa a hug

This is your grandfather

Father broke his vow
Why should we wait?

It's 6'o clock

- Sis-in-law?
- Sathya

How have you been?

Let us all go inside

You forgot all of us, didn't you?

(Overlap of excited voices)

Who is this, grandpa?

This is your great-grandfather

The school you saw
on your way here?

He built that school

Next...?

This is your-

Grandpa

Who is this?

She looks like a square peg
in a round hole!

That girl?

Your uncle's daughter

Sathya

- Really?
- Sathyabama!

Your mother wasn't with me

So I named my granddaughter
after your mother

She is somewhere around

I think she has gone out

She will be back now

Brilliant girl

Nobody can fool her

Soooper smart

Ma...?

Where is everyone?

Didn't even tell me their program

Hi

Good lord!

Has it started again?

Lord Muruga...Muruga, help me

He predicted this would happen

I was fine
all these days

I told you so!

You have Imaginoromansophilia!

Why me...?

As it is I'm not well

You're adding fuel
to the fire

Oh my God!

You could hear me?

Look at me

First, you saw me
when I wasn't even there

That means you fell in love with me

That's symptom #1

And now

You can hear me

That's symptom #2

What does this mean?

What?

Love has gone beyond
redemption stage

Chee...crap!

- I won't believe this
- Why not?

Love and I are
poles apart

- That too fall for you?
- Most certainly

What else can it be?

I live at new #12, old #16

You're right now in old #28,
new #24, Madaveedhi

And if you can see me
face to face...?

How is it possible?

How do you know my address?

Aiyaiyo!

I'm basically a watch mechanic

Forget that, generally speaking,
my general knowledge is high

How are you able to see me?

How?

Love...!

Love...?

Yeah!

Now where am I?

Bingo!

But you can see me
You can hear me

Gone beyond redemption

Symptom #2 confirmed

And now for symptom #3

- There's more?
- Yeah!

What is it?

Let's check if you have a desire
to get married immediately

I have no such desire

Never make decisions in haste

We share he same wavelength!

I don't like you loving me
without my permission!

Okay, forget that

What has happened, has happened
Let's do the litmus test

What if...

...you are able to
see my mother?

It means you want to
become part of my family

And the desire to marry me
is overflowing from your heart

How can I see your mother?

Maybe...I guess I love you

I can see you and hear your voice
when you are not even there

But your mother
That's too much!

Wow! You are very sharp

What if you can see my mother
through that window?

What if...?

Please

- What!?
- Oh God!

- I can really see her
- What crap!

You're dying to marry me
So you're lying glibly

I swear on my mother
I can see your mother!

What?

You really can?

Don't worry

One last test

For symptom #4

Another test?

This is the most
beautiful test of all

Alright, tell me

This test will tell us if you want to
have kids immediately after marriage!

How?

Where am I?

When I am there, and you are here...

...can I touch you?

You can't

What if you think
you can feel my touch?

Sathya?

Open the door

- What is it, ma?
- What are you doing?

Come downstairs

You go...I'll join you in a while

I'm really sick

- Call the doctor
- What happened?

Nothing wrong with you
Come down now

This is a disease
Imaginoromansophilia!

Symptoms 1 and 2

Marriage...babies!

What are you blabbering?

Is it contagious?

You need not worry

Just to be on the safe side
go back 5 steps

What if you get it?

I'll rest up
and then come down

Wait

You know who has come?
Your aunt!

Come, dear

Aiyaiyo!
What is this, ma?

- Ma, I need an ambulance!
- What happened to you?

Sister-in-law?
This is-

Your niece, Sathya

You can also see her?

You've also got it now

Let us both go to the doctor

Be quiet!

We are all so glad she has
come back home after so long

Don't blabber like a lunatic

My niece has already
visited me in Chennai

But it was quite by accident

I can't believe this

I didn't even offer my niece
a cup of coffee!

Why are you staring blankly?

Mani will be so happy
to know you are here

Mani...Mani

Here he is

Mani, come here

Me?

- Come here
- Sure

Yes, mathaji!?

How can I help you?

Look who's here

Who?

She came home, remember?

When?

I gave her my sari
for a function

I get a lot of customers

How will I remember?

Sorry, don't feel bad that
I don't remember you

Remember that sari

I bought in Saravana Stores
for your wife-to-be, pink one?

We gave it to her?

Yeah...yeah

What was it?

HMT
Model S76

Grandpa's favorite watch

Sorry, basically I'm a watch mechanic
I never remember a customer's face

I remember only the model of watch

I added the date device, right?

Is the watch working?

By the way, I'm Mani

Your cousin

Yes, grandpa?

I'll be there

He's showing me some more photos
I'll be downstairs

Can you lend me a hand
to place my box on the shelf?

That is not the done-

A boy entering a girl's room?

How can a guest be asked to wor-

Just help her, son

Anni, I can't believe
this coincidence

Ma, I have a sore throat

Ma...!

How was that?

Symptom #1

2, 3, 4...!

Do you know
symptom #5?

I wasn't taught this
in my school

Don't know?

The patient suffering from this disease
is able to see the guy she's in love with

Do you know what
she will do to him?

Gorge his eyes

Punch his nose

Rip his ear apart
Break his hand

I think the imaginophilia
has left you for good

- HUH?
- Yeah!

We both are in
the Romansophilia mode

In your happy moments of reunion

...as a close knit family

...I told you my story

And upset all of you

No...no

Not at all, sir

You just opened your heart to us

That's all, right?

All of us tremble with fear on hearing
your elder brother Athreya's name

We feel so terrible
listening to your story

Imagine how you must be feeling
haivng experienced it

He tried to kill his twin
for materialistic gains

And his twin's wife

Men like Athreya
should be tortured to death

He should have lived and
been traumatized every second

Died a million deaths-

Raghu

- Raghu
- Sorry, pa

Sethuraman

How can we change
what has already happened?

All we can hope is
a better future

'For 26 years I was
vegetating in the same spot'

'I was wondering why
I came out of that state'

'My son'

'You are the answer
standing before me'

I think I was holding
on to my last breath...

...by the blind faith
I would see you again

Madam...?

I have no words to thank you

I just wanted to see
my son again one last time

That's why I'm here

I have seen him now
to my heart's content

I am at peace with myself

Be happy, son

I'll take leave now

I'll leave, sir

- Mithra
- Sir

Let's go

Goodbye

What is this, Sethuraman?

You can't leave when you have
just come into our lives

My daughter has come back
after so many years

My grandson is here!

The pain of being separated
from your own child

As a father, I know it
only too well

My father is right

Won't your son want to
spend a few days with you?

Listen to me, Sethuraman

Don't forget you are
also part of this family

Mani

Take your father inside

- Alright
- This is your house

Come in, Sethuraman

Forgive us for
disturbing you

We didn't expect a tree would fall
and destroy the school building

We need to rebuild
as soon as possible, sir

What you say is right

I can't deny it

Varadarajan, father and I have
been discussing the issue

We don't know how we can get
this huge an amount all of a sud-

Please come in, Sethuraman

Small problem with our school
We are trying to resolve it

That's all

I heard everything

How much would you need
to rebuild the school?

Around 10 to 15

Around 15 million

No worries

Let it be my contribution

Please start the work
as soon as possible

Sethuraman
We cannot accept it

Why should you?

Why not?

It isn't my money

It is your grandson's money

Please accept it

Alright, as you please

Problem solved

- Happy now?
- Thank you, sir

I'm speechless

15 million

Such a boon to
our school kids

Thank you so much, uncle

- Sathya
- Uncle?

Open that briefcase and
give me the check book

I'll give it to grandpa
and be right back

Sathya

Give me the check

I think I've got
the date wrong

Give it to me

I have to check the amount

Everything is correct
Including your signature

Give me that cheque

You are Athreya

Give it to me

You destroyed that family

Give it to me

Mani

Mani, open the door

Father

Father!

Pa...?

Father, you'll be fine

Just 1 minute

Sethu...raman

Hey

Your dad gave me
For the school fund

What is it, son?

I just came to see
if you wanted to go down

I could take you

What is it, uncle?

Do you need anything?

Mani's room is over there

I came to meet you

What is it?

Mani is in love with you

His actions make it obvious

His life will be beautiful
if you share it with him

That's why

I came to ask you
how you feel about him

Shall I talk on your behalf
to the elders of the house?

Yes, please do

I'm very happy

You sleep now

- Good night, uncle
- Good night

Sir

Sir

Why are you out alone
at this time of night?

You could've called me

Let's go to your room, sir

What a performance, sir

Now way anyone in this house
will see through our plan

You fooled everyone completely

If I didn't know better...

...just like all these people
I would've also believed you

One can pretend to be sad

But harboring so much
sadness in your heart

How are you pretending
to be so happy, sir?

To know you may live
only for few more weeks

How are you able
to take it so easy?

Your son must know, sir

He is your son

A very talented watch mechanic

You only need to say the word!

He'll do it for you

He will do it to meet
the mother he never saw

He will finetune the watch
to go back 26 years

You won't tell anyone the truth

Neither will you let me do it

And you have decided to
leave this place tomorrow

Sorry, sir

I'm saying all this out of helplessness
at being unable to help you

Forgive me if I spoke
out of turn

Good night, Mithra

Alright, sir

Good night

Within 24 hours this watch
can travel anywhere

Why can't it travel
beyond 24 hours?

What must I do?

What's missing?

What is it, son?

Father

For you

For your sake

I have finetuned it

It will now suit your need

I have made a small change
to your extraordinary invention!

Your watch has a needle that adjusts
time within 24 hours only

But it has no date
to help it extend through days

I have only added that feature

Using this, you can
time travel across days

Time travel across months

Or even across years

For me?

Why, son?

Did I ask?

Whenever I look
at this watch...

I remember only how
I lost everything

But you have...

...for my sake

Give it to me

Father, like you wanted to
now you can go back 26 years

Father

Do you remember the date
and time you need to go to?

Father?

Athreya

I am Athreya

You ask if I remember
the time and date?!

How could I ever forget?

13th January, 1990

It was 5:00 p.m

That was the day...

...I thought with this watch
I can play God

And ended up like a vegetable!

Sethuraman

That was the day
he died along with your mother

They were both killed

By ME...!

I'll leave now

Once again

To the same day
To the same time

The man who made me
end up like this

Your father

Your mother

Not forgetting you

I will kill all 3 of you

I will be the 1st person in this world
to kill the same man twice

I am indeed lucky

That's ME

HEY uncle!

I'm a watch mechanic

All this is child's play for me

If you are Sethuraman's elder brother...

...I am Sethuraman's son!

Even if you lied glibly

...I suspected foul play
when I saw my father's 6th finger

Didn't it occur to you?

One who fixes the watch

Won't he check
before giving it?

That's why

This is the second time

I'm living this day!

Athreya...!

Why do you think I gave you
that dummy watch?

Even I know I must
go back 26 years

But the date and the time

Only you are privy
to that information

Now I will travel to my past

For my mother and father

Not only for them

But for this mother
who raised me as well

Mithraaaa!

Mithra

Mithra

I owe it to you

I...I am...back

Mithra

Tell these men to find a tunnel at
the third bend and enter the house

Tell these men to cut
the electricity at the house

You come with me

Come

Watch

Sethu

'Where is our baby?'

Sethu

'Where is he?'

'He is in the secret room'

What are you looking for?

I was doing my experiment

The watch is missing

It must be here

Just 2 minutes

I'll feed him
and help you search

No

Where?

Sethu

The watch is on the baby's hand

And you're rummaging everywhere

Here you go

I've brought your milk for you

Are you hungry?

Are you hungry, baby?

Here

Look at your father

He fixed the watch on your hand
and is searching for it high and low

He's searching under the table

He's searching on
top of the table

Right, baby?

You agree?

Why are you staring at me?

I went away
only for 5 minutes

In 5 minutes did you miss
your mother so much?

You missed me so soon

My pet you are!

Priya

The watch is working

I did it

I did it!

Priya

Congratulations
my sweet, sweet darling

Your son is the world's
first time traveler!

What are you saying?

He has come back
from the future

With memories
of 26 years

He has returned as our baby

Hello, little prince

Let me hold you

My moppet!

The watch is on his hand

That means he was the user

Yes, Priya

Look here

This date device was
not part of my design

He has added it

But why did he do that?

He has come back from 2016
to this specific day

What is the reason?

What if...he's trying
to tell us something?

If what you say is true and
he wanted to tell us something

...he would have chosen
a date he can talk

Perhaps when he is able
to talk, we were not alive?

Take this

Hey! Kalai

Lock the gate

Nobody should go out

Okay, sir
I'll take care

Mithra

Stay here

This time he should not
get the better of us

Okay, sir

Sethu

Hey!

Dear brother of mine!

My fountainhead

My fruit of knowledge

Where are you?

Once again, I wish you and me
a very happy birthday, Sethu

I've come back 26 years
just to see you again

I have come by experiencing
the power of your invention, Sethu

Hey!

Where are you?

You must have run away
and hidden, hearing my voice

Are you trying to
charge the watch?

You can't

I have come here after cutting
the electricity to this house

Sethu

My brother

My heart is dying to see you!

I'm longing to hug you tight

Kiss you

Take a knife in my hands

And stab you repeatedly

Until you bleed to death

Where are you?

SETHU

Sethu

I got a sudden brainwave

You are my younger brother

My blood

I only want that watch

Give it to me

And I will not harm you
or your wife and son

I'll just take it
and be on my way

You believe anything I say?

Am I such a nice guy?

Where is your son?

Tell me

Where is he?

Where have you hidden him?

He's worse than I am

Where is he?

Let us go
Please

He's inside, right?

Don't hurt us

You must die, Sethu

There should be only 1 watch

And it must be mine!

No!

(baby crying)

Priya

No, please

Come here

Sethu

Priya, come

Mithra

Mithra, where are you?

Sethu

What are you doing?

No!

Mithra

Son, till now we heard
numbers in reverse

Now letters in reverse, okay?

Z

Priya

Both of you stay here

For a little while

- Sethu!
- I will be fine

Trust me

I have to charge the watch
1 minute only

- Look, if I charge it
- Don't go, Sethu

I can fix everything
It is closeby

- Don't go
- I'll be fine

Where will you charge it?

Watchman's cabin will have electricity

Wait here

Athreya sir

Over here

Sir...!

I have him here for you

He's here, sir

Kalai, leaving you alive
this time was a good choice!

For the last time

May you live-

Athreya sir?

Hey...!

What is it?

Sethu

Let's not keep this watch!

We have gone through hell

Priya?

Throw it away

Please?

Please, Sethu

Sorry

May we sit here?

By all means
Please do

Come

Such a beautiful baby

What's his name?

Manikandan

We call him Mani

Mani darling!

Come here

Hey!

He is coming to me
so willingly

What is it, baby?

Do you know me?

Where are you going?

To start a new life

Really?

Just like me!

My father has finalized my wedding

- Is that so?
- Congrats!

Thank you

What happened?

Nothing serious

On the way

What work do you do?

I'm basically a-

Scien-

Science teacher?

Yes

My father has just started
a school in our village

He's looking out for
a good science teacher

Why don't you
take up that post?

You said you were
starting a new life

Why not start that life
in our Gopalasamudram?

Gopalasamudram

Yes

What do you think, son?

Gopalasamudram

Shall we go?

Will you come?

Will you come with me?

He says he'll come

Mani

Mani darling!

Mani dearest

Where are you, son?

Where has he gone?

Where else?

As usual, wherever Sathya is,
he'll be playing with her

Let them play for a while, Priya

He keeps calling you 'mathaji'
And flatters you all the time

And while you melt
he gets away with everything

You pamper him way too much

Now look, Sathyabama

At such a young age...

...you should not get
Imaginoromansophilia!

Among girls of your age group,
this is a very popular disease

If you look at a Barbie doll
you'll see only me!

When you see Tom & Jerry,
you will see only me

When you read a Tinkle comic,
even there you'll see only me!

I will finish my studies and
become a famous watch mechanic

You are loving me
without my permission

I don't like it one bit

If you want fall in love with me
talk to my mom and mathaji

I will marry the girl
both of them choose for me

Because I'm a watch mechanic

Shhhhhhh!

Stop crying!

Stop crying
